Let me state succinctly that my position on this writeup is not out of hate of any religious organization and if there's any need they would want me arrested to defend my claim,I will gladly own up. This is necessary for us all to get our acts in order by believing in God strictly and not religion. My profile on Facebook is me: Akande Akin Sanyaolu,not any other person. A friend of mine once said on Facebook that we are all hustlers and I agreed with him totally. We should thank God for where we are today but we cannot forget the past,we can only forgive it. Talk of poverty,presently, by NBS data,about 70% of Nigerians are poor and this is not a new thing as it's as equal to the age of the country. The remaining 30% rich Nigerians, definitely,must have tasted poverty one way or the other in their quest for breakthrough in life. I do not want to hold brief for Evans but I know that as a Christian ,we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free. In fact,no sinner woul...

I wrote an article about poverty as the clog to our national progress,growth and development on Eid Mubarak day. In one of the pages i shared the article,someone commented by first appreciating the article and then posited that our nation's problem isn't poverty but corruption and I responded thus: Poverty breeds corruption my brother. There are different classes of poverty: 1. Spiritual poverty 2. Mental  poverty 3. Physical poverty You can see that they are sequential? This is because they affect one another. The first is determined by our closeness to the supreme being,God. It is connected to our religion,to our moral values at home,religious and traditional values,educational values and respect of oneself. Spiritual poverty is ignited by deceits and hypocrites which make us far from God and be pursuing worldly and earthly gains according to Gal 5:20-25 on the fruits of the spirit, thereby,making us to be spiritually poor leading to mental poverty, greed is thus sprea...

The major problem in Nigeria is poverty. This is the reason many Nigerians want to get wealth at all cost leading to high degree of man inhumanity to man in our society and government. It goes beyond han nature in Nigeria. Think about it: Why do people who have been favoured to be in position where they are saddled with me sing the wealth of the society to better the lot of the people end up stealing? Many families broke away from poverty with pain and anger that they end up venting on the general public. Many in academia rose to academic success through poverty,societal denial and struggle. Many politicians became what they are today through class struggle and poverty. Many business owners became what they are today through tough wrestling with poverty. Many big conglomerates in Nigeria today are owned by people who one way or the other have tasted poverty. Above all,many leaders in Nigeria today have tasted one aspect of poverty and the other. Even many of those who brag to be weal...

To forgive is  divvine, to err is human. I am not one that speaks under the tongue. I believe one must share his mind and be free. I am also not one that go about engaging in public protest either peaceful or not peaceful because i hate gathering of people over a cause whilst few amongst them having dangerous hidden agenda. Permit me to say that ,prof olayinka shares semblance attitude with me 'hard to forgive' but as time goes by,it behoves on one to outgrow such trait as one moves up in status realising that a king without sympathy deserves no honour. This is the challenge being faced by prof olayinka and i pray it doesnt spell doom. As a student leader during my undergraduate days,i had the opportunity to witness several disciplinary cases at the central level,tough ones indeed and i must say that the vc under whose authority i was a leader really had a lot of sympathy when it comes to using his power. For confidentiality sake and respect to my alma mata,i wont share thos...

Akande, Akin Sanyaolu Before anyone starts abusing me about certificate matter,let me quickly tell you that professionalism too has an attachment in certificate. This is why an electrical electronic graduate in shell or chevron would be a sight manager and an illiterate or school cert elect elect would be field engineer. On my own profession, the certificate matters a lot because an agricultural consultant can't be a school cert holder talk less an applied economist. The argument now is that,not everyone of us will end up searching for job with our certificate but we need experience from professionals. On this note, you need to graduate with good grade and stop hiding under the cover that "who certificate epp?" Working under a company as a fresh graduate sometimes matters a lot even if someone would end up recommending you. For example: immediately I convocated,I was recommended to castle properties Lagos and I had a short period experience in marketing and d...

Akande Akin Sanyaolu Before the University of Ibadan minimum stipulated 3.5 cgpa for one to be involved in politics as a student, the institution had produced thousands of Dino Melaye who contributed into the collapse of the students union, destabilization of the institution calendar, perpetration of cult activities and waste of innocent lives on campus whilst hiding under aluta continua victoria aserta for  their selfiah gain and till date,many of them are contributing to political destruction in Nigeria. Let me use myself as an example: after my 100level,I was on 3.3cgpa and was not allowed to participate in faculty politics because the university stipulated only minimum 3.5cgpa. I was also screened out by the students affairs division from participating in my hostel politics but on recommendation of the warden, I was given an approval based on my service to the hall which was known by all and sundry. At the end ofy 200level I rose to 4.5cgpa which allowed me to partici...

Akande Akin Sanyaolu Its expedient that graduates are tested academically, medically and practically before given an employment even if its family or business tie recommendation to know the ability and capability of such graduate. In 2012, i was recommeñded for an employment in a consulting firm in lagos and till date the interview and test( both academically and personality assessment), including medical test,are a reference point of the pride of my ability to seek for job if need be ,had it been i end up not being an entrepreneur. A graduate must be able to defend his qualification. Technical work and entrepreneurship is good but it makes a lot of sense that graduates should learn under experienced people first before going to pride himself an entrepreneur. This brings dilligency, humility and worth. I was impressed because the test was a surprise. I was called for an interview and on getting there I was presented with test papers. I think what i learned in this experience...
