THE JOURNEY




Life’s a journey
Trail the path;
Though you will walk through the bush that’s thorny,
Even sail through the sea that’s stormy

And in darkness; you will need that Light
It’s the Word that speaks right
So you don’t become overwhelmed by that plight

Just be led by that Captain,
Whose faith can help you move mountains
He will guard you
By Him, the Earth was laid as a mat
And the heavens; spread as Blanket

Get your mind ready
You will need to guide it steady
Seal it; from those who will fill it up with perfidy
Open it to Imports from the Word of Life; it will help you achieve your destiny

Today could bring you rain;
Enjoy quite well with discernment and Ears to the Spirit
Coz Tomorrow might yield drought, and your soul could grow weary
So be wise along with enough Simplicity.

And note this; mind thy companions, the company of wolves are multiplied
Search among the hills, down the greens; behold their; a company of sheep
They will lead you to the settled grounds, along the quiet streams
You will find there; the Good Shepherd, the One who lays down His Life for His sheep; submit to His Authority

Be Brave; because you might fail; but you will learn
With one click of Success; for more, you will yearn
Within the allotted time; spread a lot of joy
Be the Sunshine


This; I have observed underneath the Sun
In the course of my little while

They saw education as the best patrimony they could give their children. The society's present underestimation of educational achievements in this present day is not deliberate. There are several reasons attached to this: The educational structure and its achievement in Nigeria is deficient, it is not what it used to be. The world has moved on beyond the educational system practised here. It has come to the point that a graduate might not get a good job because what he/she is being taught in schools now is different from what is being practised in both the corporate and business world alike.

THE SOCIETY AS A CAUSE AND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF DRUG ADDICTION

BACKGROUND Society is a network of persons interacting within a geographically sovereign area, with unique culture, social institutions, values, Norms, roles, and sanctions governing each other’s behavior. This phenomenon is definitely the basis of individual behavior and personality development as deeply believed by Sociologist. American Sociologist C. Wright mills; stated that to understand the nature of individual behavior, the best context to place the individual is the social context/environment; then we will understand the reasons behind his/her behavioral patterns and the “individual uniqueness” this is the core foundation of his concept of sociological imagination. “ Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both ” C.
