PLAY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF RESEARCH”

“PLAY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF RESEARCH”

• Albert Einstein

Written by W.N Vincent

Over the years, and despite the diverse challenges, the Nigerian culture has managed to survive via some sort of telepathic connection, if I must say. We may talk about ourselves within the country, but the moment an ‘outsider’ talks about us, everyone will ‘attack’ that outsider. Whether we have got our backs bumper-to-bumper in such cases or we just like savage replies, I do not know, but it seems to be working for us.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO ON LIVING YOUR LIFE

1.       No one can live it the way you can –
 

This is your life. Enough of the excuses – you need to put your neck out there and strive for something other than the status quo. There are no two persons, and as such only you can live your life to the fullest. Take risk and fail at a thing or two if you must. When you fail keep the spirit of curiosity alive and continue to ask WHY you failed until you get answers. No one can live your life the way it is meant to be lived other than you. There is a path that you must create for others to follow through.

 

My Story about those guys you dread!!! #DiaryOfTheHostage feat. NoWhere Girl by @BlessingTangban

ZUBA

Zuba! Zuba!! Zuba!!! Oga you no dey go?

A man alighted a cab at the junction where I stood waiting for a cab and as I looked into the car, I saw the three unfriendly faces – they reminded me of the kind of faces we saw way back when we begged to be dropped at Dutse junction after we had scaled fences to return home without due permission from the school authority – this is a familiar story of students of GSS Kuduru, as it is called.

I was already late for work that day, and to make those faces the reason not to board the cab, I didn’t consider. I greeted them with a pretentious smile and as expected, they whispered something that sounded more of a treat than a greeting – affirming my dread for their faces. No one spoke a word while we journeyed. Not too long, another passenger, a broad shouldered man, with beard that almost made him look like one of those people, he wore a cap that half-covered his head, ‘attire’ that revealed no skin and shoes that announced his belief in every piece that was revealed.

A World At School

If 95% of schools at home suddenly closed, would it be considered a crisis? I think you'd agree reopening the schools is urgent, right?

On Tuesday the world can recognise this at #EduSummitOslo - by making a promise to millions of children that they will have a safe place to learn.

We'll be there - but the next 48 hours are crucial. Will you help us take over 7 million #UpForSchool signatures with us? Sign now if you haven't already at www.upforschool.org.
