Truth is, this is both assumptions and fantasies. We may have a responsible family member who will stand by everyone and do his best, but to assume that children are made or treated so well that they don’t know their parents, or that being taken care of by responsible family members completely replaces having their parents around, is simply false. The oldest family member I knew who was taken care of by his dad’s sibling is an only child was born in 1942. He has raised to the pinnacle of his career and has been the breadwinner to the larger family since the 80s he still talked about how lucky he is to be a member of that particular family and, at the same time, how he wished his parents had lived a little longer. Another, born in the 80s, was loved, adored and well cared for. Yet she told me how alone and deeply empty she feels, and that her prayer every day is to live long enough for her children to grow up without experiencing what she did. Unless you experience that emptiness yourself, you will never truly understand what they go through. May our parents live long, and may we as parents live long enough to see our children to fruition. This, of course, is without prejudice to the reality of orphans.
In the past, when the extended family system worked terrifically well, children could grow up without knowing that they were not of the same parents. Children of brothers in the extended family would live in one large family compound and would often be catered for by one older brother. All of them were called Baba. During festivities, they would wear the same uniform habiliment to celebrate Sallah, Maulud, etc. At a point, you would grow up not knowing your real father until you reached a certain age in life. Sometimes, children of a late family member would be adopted by another family member and would even use his name in school instead of that of their real parents. They wouldn’t be treated unfairly or unjustly; it was only after they had come of age that they would realise their orphanhood. This is the Arewa most of us grew up in. This is the context I was referring to. So, when we talk about these types of things, it’s egregiously from a prism of an informed realities. It is what was obtainable in our societies before “modernisation” and “civilisation” robbed us of that family system that defined our growth, shaped our perception, and charted a course for our adulthood.

Sir, Sardauna Matasa is right. Being a parent is a responsibility, not merely a blood relationship. It goes beyond biology it is about being present, providing, guiding, protecting, and taking responsibility for the life brought into this world by one you called your sibling. If you ignore that aspect you are just another person who’s biology. Let’s not gaslight ourselves.

I cannot agree with you less. Especially the speaking part, for years I got gopd feebacks about my writing as many people enjoyed it because of how wide I read then but I could see my speaking was not impressive like the writing until I started watching podcasts and key notes.

I have someone like that in my class. He answers questions and argue with lecturers but once the results are out,it is something else😭
There is always that one student in your class who answers questions and talks with intimidation during every lecture. But once the results are released, the person wouldn’t even make the top 10 in the class. Almost everyone has someone like that in their class during undergraduate. 😂

If you are planning to study advance mathematics as a profession. You need to think very hard. This gives me no pleasure because I believe the gradual quest for knowledge is part of the human experience. This is all gone now. Completely. Many careers r made irrelevant today.
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

The Governor wants to employ people—reportedly three thousands. One wonders why this wasn’t done in almost 7 years until now. This type of employment only brings more burden to the incoming government given that he also reversed something similar by his predecessor when he came on board in 2019.

@el_bonga heard Gombe State Government will soon be employing people. How true is that?

There was a time, around 2014, when I visited a politician, and I was showing him some documents on his phone. Whenever a call came in, he would simply reject it and continue with what we were doing. He wouldn’t even reject the call with a text message; he would just decline it and carry on—and life goes on. I later asked him about all those calls, and he told me he receives almost a thousand calls every day. He said that even if his job was just to receive phone calls for a company, that would still be too much for him. Over the years, I’ve come to realise that once people value you, they’ll find time to call and talk to you no matter how busy they seem.
Once you are rich, Nobody plays with your missed calls. Now read it backwards.

Government job requires NYSC certificate. Getting the job without it means you have some “connections” there.
