Afe Babalola wants number of children pegged at two

Ado-ekiti—Elder statesman and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, ABUAD, Aare Afe Babalola, has called on the Federal Government to enact a law regulating the number of children a family should have to two as is currently the trend in China to curtail the negative impact the country’s ever increasing population is having on the provision of quality education.

The front-line legal icon who spoke at the farewell reception for the immediate past Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, and the welcome reception for his successor, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, said that the proposed legislation has become more imperative now than ever for Nigeria to take its rightful place in the comity of providers of quality and functional education world-wide.
Babalola said he played host to Okojie to appreciate him for the support he has consistently given to this university, to welcome the Rasheed for his manifested love for ABUAD, to plead with Okojie to use his experience and words of advice to continue to support Rasheed in order to ensure continuity and to identify problems afflicting education in Nigeria as well as offer constructive advice on how to overcome university problems in this country.
Relying on his experience as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council of the University of Lagos for seven years and as the founder of ABUAD since 2009, Babalola identified the major problems afflicting the Nigerian educational landscape as funding, attitude of Nigerians to giving, university autonomy in relation to the power of the University Council and Pro Chancellors, the quality of students to be admitted by the Senate of the Universities in the face of JAMB lowering the cut off mark for admission to 160, the place of good quality teachers and Curriculum development.

What Really Holds A True Man (Part 1)

I recall an event that occurred on children's day. I and my friends took some children to Shoprite to have a feel of their day. We left them at the children fun park and went into the mall to get them some stuff as refreshment. On getting back to them, they all came clamouring for water and we didn't prepare for that. All we got them was juice ,pies and the likes. Looking around and seeing we couldn't get quick access to water, my noticed a tap around the mall that has good water and got a bottle to distribute it to them. Funny they all left their refreshment and went for the water first. This same also goes for what can really hold a man. Sex and Food are undeniable love of every man(though to a different proportion). So also, fun is to every kid, but there is always a call for what is more lasting or more valuable than that. Value has been discovered to be that water every man (reasonable men) will be ready to drop all odds for. Sex has been so cheap and so readily availa...

NIcolas Kicker ready for a Statement Win

 Let's take a more in-depth look at the players' profiles, current performance stats, and matchups to determine the potential victor of this engrossing match between Gonzalo Lama and Nicolas Kicker. Gonzalo Lama, from Chile and born on the 21st of August in 1993, moved into the ranks of professionals in 2010. His position in the world rankings is distributed as 462nd currently; with a single big male double title conquested during his career, the maximum classification he attained was 149th points accomplished sometime by 2014. Compared to other tennis players registered at certain seasoned levels, many feel his service and baseline presence are solid, though he has good groundwork enabled through an imposing forehand.  Nicolas Kicker is a professional tennis player from Argentina. He has won one Challenger title and reached a career-high ranking of 78th in the world. Kicker has a strong serve and an all-court game. His quick movement and decent backhand make him a tough oppon...
