HEAR MOTHER EARTH SPEAK

From steam to the combustion engine

Dangerous smokes daily dished out to her baby clouds

Even though we are having several meetings; signing many treaties

We still haven’t attended to her daily plead

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Many the Nations their trees; they fell

Many countries their Forest; less dense

Many cities uprising at much expense

Detriment to the soul of the mother without replenishment

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

All the Gs; 3, 4, 5 and more

To generates massive speed for our daily needs

A reality and prep to face more heat

Guess we aren’t checking many things, deforesting to get more Gigs

See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Even the deep isn’t left out of this gory head

Mother earth’s squids and whales can’t escape the unchecked human race

Coral reefs feeling the heat down beneath, tiny fishes dying of the spills ravaging the creeks

Oxygen in water turning toxic; it seems the waters are now boiling

See our warmth all together becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak

Let’s pay attention to her cry

Like Sege Akinlolu proposed; plant more trees; make a shade for the future

Human thirst without control is a signed cheque for future thirst withdrawal

The earth speaks; never pay a deaf ear, regard nature, regard the environment

We will get there; tend Nature

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. Wright Mills (1959). The Society has without a doubt been the platform for the offshoot of great developmental strides: in technology, science, literature, in culture, in globalization, i...

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL BY ABISOLA AKINOLA Prior to this era, the educational institution was momentous and teachers were much revered. In fact, education was so valuable that even a primary six graduate could secure a job. Then, parents would encourage their children to be educated in order not to end up like them. 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. Another i...
