Student of National Open university of Nigeria (NOUN) in Abeokuta today hosted former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to discuss the several challenges confronting the institution which include the issue of Law School and NYSC. The event is over and the host have been busy tidying up. The audio visuals obtained is being processed and would be uploaded to this platform, in due course. It was indeed a remarkable and insightful event. In a brief statement released by S.T. TEWE,president of Law Benin study centre, former president, General O.O. Obasanjo informed the student that he would support their quest for accreditation to Law School. However, he suggested that,there may be need for change in the name of the school by removing the 'Open' and replacing it with 'Distance' ie National Distance Learning University.

WHY CHILDREN HATE SCHOOL IN NIGERIA  A social commentator with username ‘’smallpenis’’ on nairaland online forum have stated that,the level and standard of education is dropping in the country Day by Day,we can say this from the WAEC results of this year. Explaining why children hate school in Nigeria, he listed factors responsible for this situation. He wrote: Bad Teachers: if you compare the educational sector abroad to that of Nigeria,you will see that the teachers try to create an friendly environment,and make sure the children see them as friends they can trust,but here most teachers are only concerned about their paychecks.

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop...
