CHIBU NDUBUISI'S DIARY.

    OUR CHILDREN NEEDS PROTECTION IN SCHOOLS C (2018)    C NDUBUISI       27/02/2018               WEEK 9 “ The world our children will inherit tomorrow is born in the schools we build today”. Jonathan Sacks Peace be upon you.  We were regaled with news about the abduction of over one hundred school girls in Yobe, Adamawa state Nigerian. The Federal Government confirmed that 110 pupils of the Government Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, are still unaccounted for after Boko Haram terrorists invaded their school as a newspaper reported. I can vividly recall a song we sang back in primary school; it goes thus: “ Parents listen to your children For we are the future generation Help and build our schools And give us sound education” Going through the Convention on the Right of the Child and The African Charter on the Rights and welfare of the child (ACRWC) some messages remains

BROTHERS BUT STRANGERS: MY TAKE ON P SQUARE SEPARATION. C (2018)       CHIBU NDUBUISI            20/02/2018    WEEK 8    Peace be upon you. Why did P Square brothers failed to find their square roots in business after marriages? Why did they not part ways before their marriages? Why did the women they married, failed to help cement the business relationship that existed before they came in?   How can we manage when the “Game is Over”? How can we read the signs that the game is about to be over and make the necessary adjustment? I will carefully bring out some lyrics by the P Square brothers that got me thinking and made me to keep asking, why the separation?.   The first is from the Album "The Invasion" (2011)   “ Me & My Brother" in the track they sang As you see me and my brother ey (ey) no be say we do pass oh no be say we school pass oh but e be like say na we dem bless pass As you see me and my brother ey (ey) no be

DECIMATION OF FARMERS.     (THE LOOMING FOOD CRISIS IN NIGERIA) C . (2018)               C NDUBUISI                   12/02/2018            WEEK 7          Peace be upon you. It was Thomas Paine, who averred that; THESE are the times that try men’s souls. Benue State that calls itself “The Food basket of the Nation” has been so decimated and now the “War Zone of the Nation”. Farmers are under threat all over the country occasioned by grazing routes problems. Farms are plundered, crops destroyed and the commitment to keep planting keeps waning because of incessant attacks on farmers. The outcome of this is that farms are deserted and harvest left to rot away making food security as enunciated by UNDP becomes a forlorn hope, the SDG goal NO.2 ZERO HUNGER becomes more hunger. “When Nigerian farmers cannot plant and harvest crops, foreigners will supply that short” fall and the vicious cycle of poverty continues. How then can we build “the Africa we want”? A

                                         STORMS C(2018)                             C. NDUBUISI                 05/02/2018           WEEK 6                                Peace be with you. “The gem cannot be polished without frictions nor man without trials” Conficius I recently sent an SMS to a relative of mine, who has been a source of wild storm to his family and a conduit pipe were hard earned resources are filtered out without any commensurate impact, considering low funds, and the high debts we are experiencing in Nigeria. His family members keep hoping that one day, the storm will be over and the tide will turn for good. In my SMS, I told him that “ A life of disobedience will keep you in the wilderness. Keep in mind that time is passing by. You are on your way to becoming a very poor man if you don't change your wrong thinking. Last warning to you to wake up and pursue your destiny with pride and dignity .” Even if your pathw
