  By Olatunbosun Islamiyah     There are courses that you don't like are important to your education, even though they may seem insignificant to you. They indeed make you uninterested and unmotivated, but keep in mind that every subject you need to take is important. Your dreaded subjects can become bearable if you are open-minded and follow the suggestions below.   Change your perspective on the course:   You probably dislike that course because of bad impressions or experiences, but you might need to come up with a more upbeat perspective on it.

Yet, what you really need to do is dedicate additional time to it so you can enjoy continuous breaks w...

John Bukunmi     This article could have been crafted in the style of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" to appease the wrath of public opinion, but the spirit in every ink is to seek solutions and not exacerbate problems.   With the Supreme Court's judgment ending the rift and strife over the tussle for power between the federal government and state governors regarding local government autonomy, the federal government favors local government autonomy. In contrast, state governors, aiming to keep local governments under their control, devise every means to put them at the beck and call of their jurisdiction . Consequently, local government chairmen are now made to serve as butlers and comprador leaders, paying obeisance to their former leaders who taught them the schemes and skills to oppress and compress.   The anticipated freedom has been granted to local governments, but the questions that must arise in our hearts and demand solutions are:   Can local gover...

By Usman Toheeb Suppose Jihad, in short form, explains the struggle or striving in Islam leading to the effort to have a righteous life. In that case, for one to be able to perform Jihad, he/she must be a rational person, God-fearing, and have the ability to protect humanity at large, irrespective of religion or tribe.   During the time of Prophet Muhammad, several protests took place.
