Why I donated the book titled " The Politics of Biafra and The Future of Nigeria " to Nigeria Universities libraries ~ Ifeanyi Ubah.

The Anambra State born human capital developer Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has explained why he did not only buy for himself the above mentioned book during its launch and public presentation at Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Centre, Abuja on September 29th 2016 ,but donated same to Nigeria Universities libraries.

The Publisher of the fastest growing Newspapers "The Authority Newspapers" stated that he believed that shielding our youths from the historical events of our lives as a Nation and a people, posed great danger to our collective future.

According to the outspoken innovator, " any Nation that is shying away from educating her citizens about her past is a Nation that will be faced with a future threatened by lack of historical accounts, an antithesis to the future development of our Nation" he said.

The book authored by Hon Chudi Offordile (former member, Federal House of Representatives) had many Nigerians of different regions and religions Assemble at Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Centre on September 29th during the book presentation.
It was a gathering that had many Northerners and Southerners converge in one hall.

Ubah who went on to say that higher Institutions are knowledge cooking pot of any Nation and as such that our school libraries deserve this book than our private libraries so that our youth and students can be connected with our past success and some of our failures as the quest to reinvent our future for the better is being intensified.

"According to the author of the book Hon Chudi Offordile, 'The book : "The Politics of Biafra" is a reflection of the importance of history in addressing present realities and future co-existence of Nigeria's multi ethnic society...".                                     This takes me to why our students should have access to this book.

"We can't be talking about using historical accounts of our past to positively influence our today and future without considering the place of our students. Donating this book by Hon Chudi Offodile to our school libraries is part of my desired contribution for a better society " Ubah added.

" Our school should be the knowledge cooking pot of our Nation and as such deserves this book the more" .

"You see, Hon Offodile has through this book opened unavoidable National Conversation which we must not shy away from and I appreciate him for doing that " Ubah said

It is of note that Dr Ifeanyi ubah while launching the book, donated copies to Universities libraries that our students may have access to our past.

Ubah who attracted West Ham united to his Alma Mater Okongwu Memorial grammar School Nnewi where the  London based Football club donated cash to the school last month stated the importance of the book to our students during its launching and donating same before the gathering at Abuja.

Senate extends validity of JAMB result to 3 years
The senate has extended the validity of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) result to three years.
JAMB results are valid for one year, but the upper legislative chamber on Thursday passed an amendment bill to extend its lifespan to three years.

Presenting the report of his committee on the bill, Jibrin Barau, chairman, senate committee on tertiary education and the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), said that the amendments would further strengthen the admission board in its responsibilities.
Appreciating his colleagues on the passage of the bill, Senate President Bukola said that the new amendments would bring financial relief to students and parents, and reduce bottlenecks and corruption in the admission process.

The Internet was abuzz on Saturday after the story of a student, Hillary Agbo-Odeh, who graduated with flying colours against all the odds, went viral.
According to an online medium, Idoma Voice, 30-year-old Agbo-Odeh completed his Psychology programme in Benue State University with a first-class degree after no less than 17 failed courses as an undergraduate.

The Idoma native reportedly completed his secondary education in 2003 before applying for a pre-degree programme at BSU in 2005 with the hope of studying Medicine and Surgery.
Though Agbo-Odeh was said to have emerged as one of the best in the remedial programme that year, he was offered admission to study Physics instead.

It said, “In frustration, he took the plunge and settled with the Physics (programme) he was offered with little interest in the course. He struggled with the course due to lack of interest. It wasn’t surprising at all that he could not cope with studies as frustration and depression set in his academic pursuit.
“Agbo-Odeh was at his lowest ebb in his final year when his 300-level result was published. He was at the bottom of his class crawling with 17 carry-overs; he was placed on probation by the school authority. He became the subject of mockery in the school among his colleagues.
“Hilary came to a decision point: ‘Why stay here and be withdrawn?’ He told himself the hard truth, it was time to move forward regardless of the storms.”

The online medium added that Agbo-Odeh then picked a new form for the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board Exams and applied for Psychology, which he considered to be closely related to Medicine.
“By the second semester of his final year (as a Physics student), the JAMB admission (list) was out and he was admitted to study Psychology. Hence, he withdrew from the Physics Department and started a fresh academic journey in the department of Psychology.
“The young resilient Idoma boy from Ohimini, the worst student in Physics, with 17 carry-overs to his name, would graduate from the Psychology Department of the same university with a cumulative grade point average of 4.57.

“His outstanding performance broke many records in the university, including the pioneer first class in the Psychology Department since the university’s inception in 1992. He also became the overall best graduating student of the 14th and 15th combined convocation of BSU held on January 17, 2015. His exploits came with several rewards, he bagged seven academic awards including the Tony and Awele Elumelu Prize for Excellence.”
