                       The journey of man begins at birth. The birth of man is the starting point to journey of life. So life is a journey, the voyage that the adventurer cannot imagine the destination. To be in the journey and succeed in the mirage of self-plenum , clenching with determination and scrap, man must compete with scuffle to arrive at certain mirage destination, which serve as the starting point for another journey in life. The attempt to one epoch in life, effort to start another one, so Prof. B.M. Ibitokun, the lecturer as well as host of the valedictory lecture is right in his philosophy:       A superstructure of theory is always transistory, being constantly superseded by fresh theories which make nearer and nearer approaches to the truth without ever reaching it. On the shore of the great ocean of reality, men are perpetually buildin...

Religion is the symbol of humanity and the society where it resides. In Nigeria, apart from the ethnicity, religion is another tool that drives people apart in the country. It is the symbol of any embodiment that belongs to certain religion, even if one belongs to a tribe; it is the religion that will draw a boundary between one and people of one’s flesh. Apparently, religion entails following the commandment of the prophet, ancestors or any present leaders in the religion whom they are regarded as priests.     Priests are like shepherds while the followers are the similitude of objects being directed to certain areas. Whether right or astray objects follow the directives, echoed from the voice of the shepherd—actually, this is how religion is practiced in Nigeria. But the question is, is all what the priests say should be followed? The answer is no. Therefore, all must have thinking box where preaches will be known whether right or wrong. Since there is scripture, individu...

     For years, the morass of the political dire in Nigeria is appalling every day. More than what one can just meddle on, it needs critically philosophical approach to correct the hills surrounding the nation. This started at the early age of independent when rogue people, with their kleptomaniac fingers cut the national cake, kept it in their greedy pocket, which the people who sow the fruits of the country are now in the shadow of forgotten tales, so the nation started unimaginable journey on the famished road.      , So, in great concern, Gegebaseran in his fifty-one-page social satirical play, ‘…exit of alagbara’ portrays egregious minds, having lost conscience for the development of the nation, but in their effort, promoting their selfish mindset rather than being selfless. Surprisingly, the corruption being portrayed in the play circled round the spheres of human endeavors. Both the leaders and the followers are regarded as the ambassadors of doom...

      Now the world literature has moved from the ancient thespian to the imaginative realm where there is no home for remembrance, of the past, present, even the future. Generally, literature is the mirror of life; either good or bad, the world will gaze another fictions flying in the sky. So the image it brings to the world, the reflection in the real life.       Normally, literature teaches moral; in its genre, different styles come up to correct mistakes of society. Humans are created with different kinds of perceptions; the home determines the perspective of others. Whether good or bad, it will reflect in the life of others around. One reflects one’s experience to others. Movies, another realm in the literature, with no end, it has transformed the world beyond imaginative alterations. A movie tells about the pros and cons of the world, just to make little change about the existence of humans. Movie serves as the mirror of life today. Many ...

       Over five decades now, Nigerians have been living in a great political dire, without actual changes, the level of poverty increases every day like the wild fire but no government has made their dreams become a reality for the large percentage of the citizens living in the country. There is no how far the snake long, we cannot set fire to it, equally to with its height – only idea is needed to kill the devil. The idea is ‘if money is spent, money will come;’ if citizens are given salary per month, government will also gain more money. How?        With the total population of 138,283,240 as at 2008, the people, average Nigerian found it difficult to acquire three square meals per day. Relating to the national income, as at 2012, Nigeria GDP,Purchasing Power Parity, PPP, 3 rd largest within Africa (behind South Africa and Egypt); PPP trebled from $170billion in 2000 to $451 billion in 2012.  That is the estimate of size of t...

     Recently, the country celebrated her independence, since 1960 when the nation had gained freedom from the British colonialist; it is now ethos for the country to roll out every year in remembrance of her first day as sovereign country – worth celebrating. So far, the journey in the past up to the present moment, Nigeria, giant of Africa, it is a pity to say the country at fifty-three is even crawling like baby.     As sovereign nation, we need to rule ourselves. Leadership at the initial ground started with ethnic base governance when each region in the country ruled by self-government headed by premier, prime minister at the centre. The system started well, Nigerians projected nothing less than greener pasture, therefore, the next fifty years when the nation top hills, the path of being slavery would erase from the minds. Nevertheless, the battle for tribalism runs in the mind of Nigerian leaders. It is not really the fervent interest to develop th...
