Opinion Reading the impression and expression written on the faces of Students across Nigerian Universities, studying different courses, especially in Bayero University, Kano on Friday 4th February, 2022, it was an obvious disposition of uncertainty. Apprehension littered the humid air. In small groups, Students conversed among themselves on a similar topic. "Are we really embarking on another ASUU strike?" was the the most frequently asked questions on campus as the first week of the second month in the new year gradually winds down.

If they're in close proximity, contact them let them mentor...

The ceremony of independence was not only ceremonial but the laying of foundation and putting in motion the locomotive towards nation-building of a politically independent state.

The leaders who sang the uniformed tone of patriotism became a replica of slides in the dirge and ballad of regionalism and ethnic politics as promoted by the NPC, NCNC and the AG. The country was thrown into a political rigmarole; t...
