Appreciating NEDC's Intervention In North East Educational Struggle

Image
By Audu Moses      For several years, schools in the North Eastern part of Nigeria, and indeed it's entire educational system were in ruins and rots. They were visibly and intentionally targeted.   Schools were burned, teachers and learners were killed, while thousands more were displaced or abducted, with entire communities left with an equal generation of children, whose only history and places of abode are IDP camps and displacement homes.   It has been over 15 years of traumatic and horrific stories. This reality confronted the entire country and even the international community. The insurgents did not only attack schools, the inflicted violence on the psyche, attempting to destroy it's fundamental ideals, and fabrics through demoralizing and radicalizing the system.   Education is not just about grades and certificates, it's about survival, and a generation.   It is within this context that the North East Development Commission's educational progr...

Rivers 2027: How Proven Loyalty Is Speaking For Kingsley Chida

Image
By Thomas Taribo    There are two types of loyalty; true loyalty and strategic loyalty. True loyalty is rare, and unambitious. True loyalty is unsaleable, it stays when all else leaves, because it has no exit clause, and convenience, but strategic loyalty is common because it’s rational, and transactional.    In politics, you need both to win. But when the fight gets real, only true loyalty stays. Howbeit , structurally, transactional loyalty leads to structural collapse. Evidentially , those who hold the structure of 2027, are those who did not scatter in 2023. However, loyalty is never one-sided, although it is not entrenched in keeping scores, it is designed to create reciprocal bonds.   True loyalty, the type demonstrated by Rt. Hon. Kingsley Chida in Rivers State works quietly, protectively, and defensively, without exposing or taking the credit.   Rt. Hon. Chida, understands from the onset that there are certain things that cannot be rushed without br...
