The ill Advised Education Curriculum and Why It Failed. (Lessons  in the Theology of Making Space for Others)  Chibu   Ndubuisi  24/07/2017 Peace be to you In a bid to educate and awaken the consciousness of the citizenry, liberate them from prejudices and ignorance, teach them the imperatives of tolerance that will make them develop optimally without inhibition. We have now inadvertently proposed an educational policy of disunity and war.   The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) developed a new curriculum that brought Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) and Islamic Religious Knowledge (IRK) to be under civic education without due consultation with relevant stakeholders in the sector which generated so much heat in the polity, until the Federal Government directed The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council  (NEDRC) to separate them.       How are the seeds sown?

The Evil Parasites We Feed. Chibu Ndubuisi. 17/072017 Peace be to you. Thomas Sowell advises that "no society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce". Parasite is simply defined as an organism that lives in or on another organism( it host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host expense. It is equally defined as a person who habitually relies on or exploit others and gives nothing in return. The discuss today is about the "evil parasites" we feed as a nation. When we exploit and expropriate the Niger Delta area without commensurate development, we are feeding this monster parasite. When we engage in hate speeches full of bile, we are feeding the evil parasite of war. When we act with evil intentioned machinations of kidnapping school children for ransom or turning them to sex slaves we are feeding the evil parasites that destroys civili...

FROM CITIZENS TO NETIZENS; THE CHANGING FACE OF TEACHING                                         CHIBU NDUBUISI 10/07/2017 (part 2)   Peace be to you. There is no age like this digital era which has so much predisposed us to myriad of information at our fingertip. When you ask a friend about a subject that needs clarification, you might just get a reply like this “just goggle it’. Google is the name of a search engine that tends to answer some of the questions been fed to it. It is a digital teacher that answers questions, but not really answering the questions of knowing when we will fall in love or die. In this Citizen to Netizens series, I will x-ray the changing face of teaching; and knowing what it takes to partake in the digital world. In his column titled “The Online Warri...

FROM CITIZENS TO NETIZENS; OUR SELFIE GENERATION(Part 1) CHIBU NDUBUISI 3/7/2017 Peace be to you. A citizen is a person who has the legal rights to belong to a particular country. Netizen is a term derived from the combination of the words "Internet" and "citizen." The term netizen is used to describe people who use the Internet to participate in or contribute to an Internet group or society. The word may also be used to describe an individual who spends a lot of time on the net. Special thanks goes to Sir Tim Berners Lee for his invention of the “World Wide Web” and the important decision to give it away for free. The United Nation Human Right Council (UNHCR) adopted a landmark resolution protecting online freedom of expression as a human right. it is no longer a child's play. A selfie is a photo you take of yourself especially by using a digital camera or smart phone held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick. ...
