Kudos to Osun State

A modest applause to Osun state govt. for sending 50 graduates for 

18 months-training on mechanized farming, in Germany.

They,on return,will impart same in others.

This is quite expedient and I wish we see huge benefits to that state in a few year's time!

Meanwhile an 80yr old man has been appointed the chairman of a federal government parastatal....mmmgh.

A Minister to Watch

Dr Akinwumi Adesina of Agriculture has been bringing novel but productive ideas to that sector.

Hope it gets better.

Your Real Self

Success brings out the real character of a person; same with poverty.

Africans - A Need for Self Belief

At a book-reading event in Lagos, Nigeria, let us picture a South African 

(Antjie Krog) reading from her bestseller book on Truth and Reconciliation Hearings. It was organized by a local group on the Arts.

A renowned female Nigerian journalist - Chris Anyanwu, now a Nigerian Senator - who was incarcerated during the infamous Abacha Military Government of Nigeria also paired with her on stage. 

She too had her own turn to read from her book based on her prison experience. 

It appeared as a truly balanced set up.

Photography and Patience: The Ethereal Light

Making an apparently simple image may be a test of patience, luck, perseverance and courage, in the midst of risk (at times). 

Practitioners of the photographic art are very much aware of this scenario. 

For instance, I have gone through the experience of making a photograph that took me a year!

African Leaders Mindset

There are little things some African leaders should be subjected to before taking over power. They should be tutored to be appreciative, of 'little things', which the creator has bestowed on the continent.

Without a vision, a people perish. Little things begat great things. They need to sit back and think hard for once, especially those countries that are in different shades of turmoil. 

Genetically Modified Babies

Human beings made from an assembly line like cars? I ask

What is the limit of our action?
