Tomorrow Would Be Better than Today, But Does It Seem Like?? -Helen James Gala

The Vice president of the Department of Theatre and performing arts ABU Zaria Helen James Gala on Friday February 22nd 2019 Left a message for the Youth of Nigeria and a Question Which the youths of the Nation should ask them self's  before the General Election commences on the 23rd Of February #NigeriaDecides. 

I am not a celebrity freak neither am I a political freak but I am a patroitic Nigerian with a great vision for my mother land.It is so sad to know that the beautiful land our forefathers worked so hard to build is gradually falling apart.Bloggers are everywhere getting fake informations and posting untrue stories, journalist are everywhere disseminating rumoured news they got from the blogs, politicians are everywhere forging lies(propaganda) against their opponents,youths are everywhere bowing down for the untrue leaders.We've obviously lost our heritage to greed,quest for power,pride and prejudice.It is so sad to know that so many people do not know the use of their smart phones and televisions.They tend to dwell on rumors instead of discovery.We youths especially are a total disappointment to our country,I just wish people will realize that politics is beyond selfishness and corruption,I wish we will have more youths who believe in the doing of a man(personality)and not partisans,I wish we will have youths who will build the nation and not bulldoze it with their poor sense of reasoning.Earthly desire has taken over our youths,Instead of electing selfless leaders,we rather elect selfish leaders who will kill us and bribe us with money. I read a documentary about our fallen heros few days ago and I was comforted and pained at the same time.The likes of sir Ahmadu Bello who died without a Kobo in his account bcoz he wanted the best for the country,the likes of K Nzeogwu who led  a coup at 29,the likes of Akintola who was vibrant and fearless,he was just 36 ,Enahoro was 27 and many others...then I ask my self this unanswered questions:where are the so called vibrant youths in Nigeria?Are we just meant to be servants to the so called leaders?Are we only good at robbing innocent people and killing offenders (jungle justice)Are we just fearless and strong during war?Are we just good in bed and deceiving people (Yahoo)?Where is the sincerity and strength we inherited from our forefathers?Welcome to a country where almost all the leaders believe in medicine men for survival and not God.The few youths whome we trusted with our mandate has failed us.Late senator GNS pwajok was a very vibrant youth with so much to offer but he allowed the older politicians deceived him which led him to an early grave.yahaya Bello the present Governor of kogi state gave the youths his words and we inturn gave him our mandate but he is even worst than some older politicians.I am in a state of dilemma, I can't even trust our youths with my vote. Most of them are aiming to steal,revenge and frustrate people.Some of us that are sincere can't even find our way to the white House.Late president Umaru Yaradua said and I quote"tomorrow will be better than today" but does it seem like?

Update On Asuu strike 22/11/18

The federal government will continue with negotiation with the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) with the hope of resolving the ongoing strike by the union.
Recall that the lecturers had resumed strike on November 5, 2018, over demands for improved funding of public universities based on agreements reached with the Federal Government in 2009.
Speaking to LEADERSHIP in a phone interview, the Deputy Director of Press, in the ministry of education, Ben Going, stated that the meeting which will be held at the ministry, was aimed at putting finishing touches to the negotiation.
“ We are meeting tomorrow(today) to put finishing touches to the ongoing negotiation. We will definitely brief the press after the meeting,” he said.
The National president of ASUU,Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President, also confirmed that the meeting will be a continuation of what was discussed last week.
“We are have been called upon for a meeting. I cannot predict the outcome. Last week, we only open up issues. We will attend the meeting and see how it goes tomorrow (today),” he said.

Does Fighting Make Relationships Stronger?

Ok, so this is more of a question and something to ponder, but I think there might be something to it and wanted to include it as a tip.
This study shows that in relationships (at least romantic ones), having arguments in the beginning should mean you’re headed towards a steady incline in happiness. Some psychologists also say that fighting every now and then means you care about the relationship—it’s when you stop arguing about your issues that you should be concerned. It’s definitely something to think about, I admit.
Ultimately, just remember that we’re all doing the best we can when it comes to making time for one another, which also includes not being too hard on yourself if you’re feeling like an imperfect friend or partner. Just take a step back to prioritize every once in a while. Be sure to give the relationships you care most about the time and energy they deserve!

C-CUBE!!
CREATIVITY!!!!

G. R. A. C. E

The Catholic creativity Club, commonly known as c-cube is a branch under NFCS ABU ZARIA CHAPTER. C-cube is popularly known for its creativity in the form of dance, drama and expressions.  In a bid to break out of the status quo of Catholics being "boring", four young men head by (Idibia, Tony Onum) they came together and thus c-cube was born.

Right from 2005, C-cube  has been breaking the norm and blowing our minds.  As is an annual tradition,  C-cube holds a concert which ministers to the indigenes of ABU, ZARIA for one night only.  And I can honestly say that the concert changes lives. For those of us that can not remember too far back,  may be I can jog your memory with the tag MIA (MISSING IN ACTION 2015). right after that C-cube hit us again with COPS(C-CUBITES OBEDIENTLY PREACHING SALVATION 2016) then once again with BIG (BOASTING IN GOD 2017).

This year C-cube is back again with this year's concert tagged as G.R.A.C.E. (GOD'S REDEMPTION AT CHRIST'S EXPENSE 2018) and trust me when I say you do not want to miss out on this.  Ministrations will be from House of David,  Creative Theatre, Divine Rhythm and Creative Expressions  and the one and only SPOKESMAN. This year is one that you do not want to be told about.  On Sunday the 9th of September 2018 by 6:00pm (red carpet) in Pope John Paul  II hall (blue roof). Be there or be square!

Mom Ruined My Tomorrow

They call it spiritual, 
They call it ethical. 
They call it universal, 
They call it motherly. 
They call it usual,
They call it mutual. 

shut your eyes, and think of your tomorrow.
Shut you mouth, and speak less of sorrow. 
Take a bold step, and aim forward, 
You know your tomorrow. 

September 1999, it all started. 
In the white house of "stitches and newcomers".
My cry filled the theater,
I was successfully born. 

Like the three "idiots",
Dad carried me, and called me a doctor, 
Mom looked at me, and called me a nurse,
Leaving me with no choice of my own. 

I grew up, loving what i hate, 
And forced to cherish what gives me agony. 
Mom wants me to do her wish, 
Dad wouldnt let go off me.

They thought they were making me better, 
Rather, they were killing me within. 
Call me dad! 
For he couldn't see my future. 
Call me mom! 
For killing my tomorrow. 

Chemistry was made breakfast,
And biology was made my lunch. 
Physics  was made my dinner, 
Wished they made my choice, the last supper. 

Mom scolded me for failing, 
Dad blasted me for repeating. 
Have they forgotten  i got an "A" in literature, 
And a distinction in English. 

They tore my essays, and called them trash. 
They tore my poems, and swept them out. 
They sold doughnuts with my storybook, 
And turned my drawing book,  to weed wrappers. 

They wasted their money on tutors, 
And paid millions on tuitions.
They took me to the best,
While i fall behind the rest. 

Suddenly! Michael gained admission. 
Mom could no longer watch me, sit my ass at home.
Special center became my home, 
And expo my half brother. 

At last i gained admission!
To study medicine and surgery . 
Daddy was happy, 
And mommy was joyous.

I knw i wouldnt make it there, 
I knew i was going to fail. 
But mom had "long legs",
she could not watch me fail.

I was depressed and dead within, 
I smiled and laughed though. 
I was not even sure of my future, 
Because those i call family, tampered with it. 

I did 7 courses, but happily, i passed one. 
I took interest in GNS101, and got an A. 
Medical courses were written in "Latins",
Words my brain cant comprehend.

Mom "long legs" pulled enough strings, 
And her connection got the right people. 
My results were upgraded,
And i was ironically among the best. 

Years went by, with no experience. 
Semesters went by, with no knowledge of medicine.
Blame me not, i have no interest. 
laugh me not, mum pushed me into this. 

I graduated as one of the best, 
Thanks to mum's strings.
I finally fufilled dad's wish, 
And made mom dream come through. 

She got the name she craves "iya doctor",
And the praises she had always wanted.
She was exalted,as the mother of the best doctor, 
Little did they know the magnitude of what she has done. 

Finally, the deal day came!
The Senator was rushed in,
They shouted Emergency!  emergency! 
And they called me to prepare for his treatment. 

With fear, i cautiously walked to his ward. 
And i carefully administered formaldehyde , glutaraldehyde , methanol , to the sick senator, 
Little did i know they were only used in preserving the dead. 

The senator was later reported dead, 
And an autopsy was carried out.
They saw my flaws, and got me arrested for manslaughter,
Now i am here awaiting judgement. 

The fierce looking judge had no pity,
i saw his scornful face. 
Face that spelt death, 
And a lip, that gives judgement. 

He blamed me for my ignorance, 
And sentenced me to death. 
I looked at mom with regrets, 
"Had she known"
Thank mom for killing my tomorrow, 
Thank dad for sponsoring my death.

I should have resisted when i was old enough, 
But my religion said "obey thy mother and thy father, so thy day may be long"

NOLLYWOOD ARTISTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD HENCEFORTH TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING

1. Professional nurses are being misrepresented by Nigerian artists and film makers.

2. Not all in white uniforms are professionally registered nurses. What is shown as nurse’s activities in the video films, soap operas and stage plays does not represent Nigerian nurses but the activities of quacks in the cottage hospitals they might have had contact with.

3, Nurses have no time to engage in mere gossips but we brainstorm with ourselves and other professionals to proffer solution to patient’s problems. If you don’t believe go to LUTH, UCH, LASUTH, UBTH FMC jabi, National hospital and other reputable health institutions to catch a glimpse of how busy nurses really are.

4. Nurses don’t sleep around with doctors because we both have different and busy schedules of duty which overwhelms us beyond mere bodily passion. There are laid down professional ethics and principles guiding moral and professional aspects of our profession.

5. Professional Nurses don’t sit by the canter or desk, because we are not receptionists. We are ward managers that coordinates all the activities on the ward, especially issues concerning the patient's welfare. We are patients advocate, the angel on the wards and units.
6. Nursing is a globally recognized profession. Nurses are not messengers nor errand boys or girls to doctors as we are portrayed in your Nollywood films. Rather we are co-managers of patients and authorities on our own. In fact no hospital can experience optimal functioning without the co-ordination of patient-centered activities carried out by professionally trained nurses.

7. We renew our practicing license every three years after undergoing refresher courses. We also  update our knowledge to meet up with modern global standard of practice and acquire in-depth knowledge about patient's conditions and holistic interventions.

When called up into the profession as nurses, we take an oath and pledge which we are mandated to keep up to in the course of our professional practice.

NURSES ARE NOT JUST ANYBODY, WE ARE ANGELS IN DISGUISE. WE ARE SELECTED FEW CALLED TO SALVAGE HUMANITY FROM DISEASES, AND SICKNESSES.
WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROLONGING LIFE AND IF DEATH IS INEVITABLE, ENSURING A PEACEFUL DEATH.

Originally compiled by  Nurse Olufemi Iseyemi Folakemi (DDNS)

Help stop the misrepresentation of Nigerian nurses!
If you are a nurse or friend of nurses, kindly help spread the right information by sharing this message.
Thanks and God bless!

COMPASSION

Be compassionate in your doing and how you relate with every human being.
The present world is filled with self-centered human that sees his neighbors woes as a reason to celebrate. We need to change this motive and inhumane human behavior.
Compassion begat love, Love makes life worth living.
Be compassionate enough to share your half loaf with he that have none.
The distance between the rich and the poor in our society has raises a lot of concerns without solution. The rich sees no reason to give or assist the poor. The poor man is of no utilitarian value to it environment. The poor man begged for food or clothes, no one to assist. We are too busy building our about to collapse future while ignoring our fellow men in tears and hunger.
Pastor Oyedepo, in one of his sermons, termed lack of compassion as the main cause of poverty and suffering around the world.
What have you done in your own capacity to see to the need of the less privilege around you?
How many of your neighbors with one cloth and shoe have you try to give one of your old shoes to?
When was the last time you show love to a stranger?
When was the last time you share a word of encouragement with your course mate that's struggling academically?

Be compassionate today.
Let human empathy germinate inside you.
