[lboogie1906]

Willis Laurence James (September 18, 1900 – December 27, 1966) was a musician, composer and educator. He was on the faculty of Spelman College.

He was born in Montgomery and was raised in Pensacola and Jacksonville. Educated at the Florida Baptist Academy in Jacksonville, he studied violin. He enrolled at Morehouse and his studies included the traditional core of music courses. He was a member of the Morehouse Quartet and Glee Club and played violin in the college orchestra. He showed great promise as a concert violinist and performed as a recitalist and soloist throughout his career. After receiving his BA from Morehouse, he pursued further study at the Chicago Musical College.

He began his teaching career at Leland College and it was while living in Louisiana that he began collecting folklore and folksongs, along the levees of the Mississippi River. The Paramount Record Company of Chicago released a record on which he sang folksongs and for which he transcribed the music and texts. He married a fellow teacher at Leland College, Theodora Joanna Fisher.

He taught at the Alabama State Teachers College before accepting a teaching position at Spelman College, serving as chairman of the music department and director of the Spelman College Glee Club. He assumed the duties of director of music at both Morehouse and Spelman Colleges. He co-founded the Fort Valley State College Folk Festival and was a member of the summer faculty.

He continued investigating folksongs over the years and was noted for his compositions and arrangements. His theory that “the cry” was the most distinctive feature of Black folksong attracted some attention. He lectured at college campuses, before professional societies, at the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals, and the Roundtables of the Tanglewood Music Festival. He received awards from the General Education Board and the Carnegie Foundation and received an honorary doctorate from Wilberforce University. He lectured at the opening of the Center for the Arts in Lagos.

He left a completed manuscript, Stars in De Elements, which was published as a special issue of the journal Black Sacred Music. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Recent school fees increment by FG, Lagos illegal – Falana

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has condemned the recent increment in school fees by the federal and Lagos state governments, describing the development as illegal. Vanguard reports that the federal government had in July 2023 increased fees for Unity Schools from N45,000 to N100,000 per term, an increase by over 120%. In a similar fashion, the Lagos State government, yesterday, announced N100,000 as the new fees for state-owned boarding schools. It was previously N35,000. Falana’s reaction, weekend, described it as a violation of the Child’s Rights Act and Lagos State Child’s Rights Law. He lamented that with the increase being above the minimum wage of N70,000, “a worker can no longer sponsor even one child either in the Unity School or any secondary school in Lagos State.” He vowed to challenge the decision in the appropriate High Courts. He wrote, “The federal government has increased fees payable in all unity schools from N45,000 to N100,000 per term. Thus, the fee payable per annum is N300,000 per student. “Similarly, the Lagos State Government has fixed fees payable in all secondary schools at N100,000 per term or N300,000 per annum by every student. “At N70,000 minimum wage, the salary of a worker per term of 4 months is N280,000. The implication is that a worker can no longer sponsor even one child either in the Unity School or any secondary school in Lagos State. “However, under the Child’s Rights Act and Lagos State Child’s Rights Law, every child is entitled to free & compulsory education from primary school to junior secondary school. To that extent, the imposition of N100,000 Fee on students in junior secondary schools in Unity Schools and secondary schools Lagos State is illegal. “In view of the clear provisions of the Child’s Rights Laws applicable in all states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, the illegal imposition of prohibitive fees on junior secondary school students will be challenged in the appropriate High Courts. “Meanwhile, on July 10, 2024, the Executive Secretary of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Dr. Hamid Bobboyi revealed that over N45.7 billion matching grant to state governments for the implementation of Universal Basic Education (UBE) between 2020 and 2023 has not been accessed by many states governments.” “So I really want to encourage the company. It is really amazing that we have this type of manufacturing going on here. This is the same company that is trying to build the industrial park in Idu, and we are going to give them all the necessary support. Just yesterday, I sent out a letter to the Ministry of Finance to get some tax credit to enable them to carry out the other one-carrier way to make it a double carriage,” he stated.

Fifty Years, A Million Dreams: My Life as a Nigerian American

Let me take you back to a pivotal moment in my journey: March 20, 1974. Picture a teenage Nigerian, standing with a mix of hope and anxiety outside the Embassy of the United States of America in Lagos. That teenager was me, about to face a visa interview that could change the course of my life.

I remember the small talk with about 20 other visa interviewees, the nervous energy in the air, and the warning from one of them: "You'll be back ten times before you get a visa." But inside me, there was a flicker of hope, a belief that today might just be my day.

The interview itself was brief—just five minutes and five questions. What stood out were not the questions themselves but the items I presented: an academic scholarship to Oregon backed by correspondence test scores from Britain and the United States, reflecting my journey as a self-taught and independent student. My education was unconventional, a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness that each of you possess in abundance.

When the interviewer, Mr. Glasl, examined my documents and finally said, "Congratulations," I was overwhelmed. His American accent made it hard to understand his words, but the meaning was clear when I walked out holding a colored card—a symbol that my F-1 student visa would be stamped. The disbelief in the eyes of the other interviewees was a mirror of my own.

As I left the embassy, holding that precious card, I felt a whirlwind of emotions. Confusion, excitement, and a sense of achievement. I remember thinking, "What next?" It felt like I had been chasing a dream, much like a dog chasing a pickup truck, and suddenly, I was on board, wondering what to do.

I got into a taxi, and in pidgin English, the driver asked, "Were you dey go?" In that moment of uncertainty, I blurted out "Tinubu Square," a place symbolic of our nation's heart and history. It was a moment of transition, from dreams to reality, from aspirations to achievements.

My journey from that day led me to make contributions to computer science. But more importantly, it taught me that no matter where you come from, no matter the odds stacked against you, your dreams are valid, and your potential is limitless.

So, to each one of you, I say: dream big, work hard, and never give up. Your journey might be filled with challenges, but remember, it is these challenges that forge the strongest steel. You are the future of this great nation, and I do not doubt that you will rise to shape a world that is brighter, better, and more beautiful than we can even imagine.

Thank you.

Switching bus seats saved my life – Lagos train crash survivor

A survivor of Thursday’s crash involving a train and a bus carrying staff of Lagos State government has narrated how leaving her favourite corner to seat with another colleague saved her life.

“Where I normally seat in the bus” she narrated, “was the point the train rammed into

Meanwhile, the driver of the Lagos State government staff bus, Oluwaseun Osinbajo, has begged for forgiveness, blaming the accident on a mechanical fault in the bus.

However, survivors said he had his earpiece on while driving and ignored the signalman at the rail line.

He’s undergone several tests, including psychiatric, and authorities have said he will be prosecuted.

‘How I survived’

“My survival a miracle,” the the civil servant, who wished to remain unnamed, said.

“I would have been one of those in the morgue.

“I boarded the bus at Ikotun and sat on the middle row, close to the window, a position that had become my permanent seat.

“But on that fateful day, a friend (names withheld) invited me to come sit with her on the third row in front.

“She said the person she reserved the seat for called to say she won’t be joining the staff

“That was how I left my permanent seat, which happened to be the exact place the train hit.

“Any time I remember that, I would quickly dismiss the thought of death with a shrug.

“This can only be God and I am grateful.”

‘E ma lo, e duro’

Another survivor who simply gave her name as Ope, said she woke up to shouts of ‘e ma lo, e duro’.

According to Ope, “The staff bus conveys every staff of the Lagos State government living in Ikotun/Isolo area, irrespective of the department or agency, as long as the staff is headed for the secretariat.

I sat on a seat in the first three rows in front and slept off immediately in order to catch some sleep before reaching the office.

“But I was jostled from sleep by shouts of ‘e ma lo, e duro’ (don’t go, wait).

“I woke up to know what what happening but before I could raise my head, I heard a loud bang. The impact flung many of us from our seats.

“I hit my head on a hard object and passed out. By the time I opened my eyes, I found myself in an ambulance that brought me to Orile Agege General Hospital.”

Other survivors

Other survivors that were taken to Orile Agege General hospital on Thursday were Mr. Juwon Fagbohun , 27, from the Agency for Mass Education; Adesoji Ajibade of the Office of the Head of Service; Mariam Olayiwola,18, Ministry of Health and Eniola Fashoyin, 53, from the Office of the Head of Service, PSO Alausa.

The Administration Branch of NAF Headquarters houses the Directorate of Education. It is located in Area 7, Garki, Abuja. An Education Officer of the Air Rank heads this directorate and also doubles as the Director of Education.

The Chief of Administration (COA) is accountable to the Director of Education (DOEDN) for initiating policies controlling the supply and management of NAF educational services. The Directorate is in charge of the 20 NAF elementary schools and 13 NAF secondary schools.

Due to the establishment of a military school in Jos in 1980, the demand for Air Force Secondary Schools (day schools) and Air Force Comprehensive Schools (boarding schools) materialized earlier than anticipated.

KINGS COLLEGE, Lagos Island,

Lagos, Nigeria.

King's College, Lagos is a secondary school in Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria. It was founded on 20 September 1909 with 10 students on its original site at Lagos Island, adjacent to Tafawa Balewa Square.

In 1908, the Nigerian Acting Director of Education in Lagos, Henry Rawlingson Carr advised Governor Walter Egerton on a detailed scheme of education in Lagos.[1] Carr's suggestions and proposals were the basis for the formation of King's College. Carr convinced the London Board of Education that King's College's education mission would not overlap but supplement the education initiatives of missionary societies. As a result, some authors regard Henry Carr as the "architect of King's College". On 20 September 1909 King’s School (as it was then called) came into being. There were 10 pioneer students which included J.C. Vaughan, Isaac Ladipo Oluwole, Frank Macaulay, Herbert Mills (from the Gold Coast), O.A. Omololu and Moses King. Oluwole was the first senior prefect of the school. The school building was erected and furnished at a cost of £10,001. It consists of a hall to accommodate 300 students, 8 lecture rooms, a chemical laboratory and an office.

Nigeria Crisis Today

Nigeria is facing not one but numerous issues currently. Some of the significant problems that I would like to highlight are:

- Corruption

- Crime

- Joblessness 

- Education

- Environment

- Infrastructure

- Gender 

- Economy

Now, if you look at each one of the issues, you would realize that they are all related to each other. Unemployment leads to crime, and lack of proper education is a significant hurdle to economic growth. 

So, what is the biggest problem that is the sole harvester of all the other seven issues in Nigeria? 

Well, I think you all know it is corruption. Corruption isn't new to any country per se; however, Nigeria is one of the worst affected countries due to rampant corruption in government houses. 

It is at the base of a significant number of Nigeria's issues in totality. Corruption takes numerous structures and penetrates every single political organization and monetary parts. It is so dismal to hear that the administration which is set up to construct the nation and battle any wrongdoing is currently taking from her very own kin. 

Part II Section 15 subsection 5, Chapter II (15) (5), of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states consequently: The State will abrogate every corrupt practice and maltreatment of intensity. The inquiry is: is this State truly following with the guidance given? 

Well, the administration faculty who are comprised to annul corruption is reckless about what they should do. Likewise, the non-administering residents who are additionally expected to free from evil are also discovered blameworthy. Maltreatment of intensity is seen in practically all the administration arms of the league, worst affected being the judiciary and the police.

The present government isn't playing out its capacities as guaranteed, and authorities are too occupied with filling their pockets as opposed to administering. 

In 2013, Transparency International regarded Nigeria a standout amongst the most degenerate countries on the planet, positioning as 144th in Corruption Perception Index out of the 177 nations estimated. Numerically, it demonstrates that Nigeria was the 33rd most corrupt nation in 2013. 

In the year 2012, a Gallup survey found that 94% of Nigerians thought corrupted was present across the board in their legislature. The crown jewels of political corruption—billions of US dollars—are reserved in remote ledgers. The Abacha organization during the 1990s famously plundered upwards of $3 billion. From that point forward, government establishments like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the previous President Goodluck Jonathan have pledged to destroy this menace. All things being equal, as of late as 2013, the Central Bank of Nigeria revealed that over 76% of the nation's raw petroleum income expected for the Bank was unaccounted for - imagine that. 

Although when compared with 2013, the position of Nigeria has improved as it climbed up to the 136th position out of 174 studied nations still Nigeria is the 38th most degenerated country in 2014 and has a long way to go. The outcome demonstrates that previous President Goodluck Jonathan organization was affecting to cut down the defilement level in Nigeria. 

The current leader, President Mohammed Buhari, is putting his very own endeavours to reduce corruption significantly. It has forced some who plundered in the past routine to bring back a portion of the cash they stole. 

Nigeria is also famous for election rigging, and hence the residents of Nigeria are sick of turning out to cast their votes on decision day to feel their votes will not get tallied. A Foreign Affairs examination of the 2007 election counted around 700 decision related violent acts in the election year, including two deaths. Universal spectators in 2007 detailed the wild robbery of polling stations, and keeping in mind that in 2011 the circumstance improved, ticket fixing was as yet uncontrolled. Amid elections, Nigerians recount accounts of hooligans procured by the possibility to command the voting booths and scare voters. Vast numbers of these hooligans are alienated and jobless youth. 

Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) on second October 2014, announced that the European Union (EU) committed 15 Million Euros (€15,000,000) in the nation's 2015 election. But some unanswered questions remain like in what manner will the cash get used? Will the money be exclusively utilized for something that planned? Who will monitor it? 

Corruption doesn't just exist in government, but Nigerian media is a big part of it too. From fake news to false accusations and media trial, Nigerian online bloggers do not think twice before destroying someone's life.

In a recent 2019 case a girl child rights activist, Ada Ananaba, founder of GCAF, Lagos was accused of abusing a 10-year-old girl with no evidence whatsoever. The Office of the Public Defender even threatened her.

Ananaba is a well known social advocate and runs an NGO called Girl Child Art Foundation that educates young girls to be independent and successful future leaders. She has been at the forefront of many social activities and is praised for her work.

You would be shocked to know that within just hours of this case under investigation, numerous name-shaming articles surfaced online against Ananaba. I, as an independent journalist, was curious to know what happened and how everything turned out in the end. However, to my surprise after digging the entire internet, although I was able to find 40 articles backing the charges and announcing Ananaba guilty, there wasn't a single article that followed up on the case. 

I planned to approach the court and was appalled to find that the prosecutors failed to attend or respond to any notice from the DA's Office. 

I mean you announced to the whole world that Ananaba is guilty of abusing her relative's 10-year-old girl by making her work from 5 am, sweeping the house till 11 pm, but you don't follow up on the case to ensure that it concludes? Who does that? 

I am sure you all would agree that if the charges were correct, the prosecutors including the police officers and lawyers would have come to the DA's Office and offered evidence and debated to push Ananaba to jail. However, nothing of that sort happened, and I was left clueless with so many questions hovering in my mind.

- Was it a conspiracy to malign the NGO activist Ananaba's name? 

- Who was involved in this foul play? 

- Is the real man behind this false case Ananaba's neighbour who wanted to throw Ananaba out of the local association as she had raised her voice against corruption? 

- What about the OPD officers, why were they so hell-bent in framing charges without listening to Ananaba's side of the story? 

- Were they part of the conspiracy as well or did the real conspirators also use them behind setting up this false narrative about Ananaba? 

- Was it a money trail or a blatant misuse of power? 

- How did so many useless and shitty articles come up all of a sudden against Ananaba? 

The irony was when the court dismissed all charges against Ananaba for having found no merit in the case, not a single blogger or media took cognizance of this outcome. Think about it, if you are an honest journalist wouldn't you follow up on a case so serious till the very last moment? Were the writers paid to defame Ananaba's public image?

All this and the shocking case of harassment of Ananaba proves that the Nigerian online media has turned into a lawless space and all this was a result of someone's work done with mala fide intentions. Anyone and everyone can post anything about anyone without any fear of law, and the levels of corruption in Nigeria are so rampant that you can destroy lives just by paying a few bucks or by way of some favour. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the government authorities are hand in glove with a few influential people and do not blink an eye before slapping a false case against an innocent Nigerian doing good for the society. Ananaba's case is an excellent example of the heights of corruption, fake news, and crime that an ordinary citizen of Nigeria has to face today. 

Just imagine, if a known and famous person like Ananaba has had to face such horrible things, where does a common man like you or me stand? Think about it as tomorrow it can be you or someone close to you falling prey to corruption and fake news in Nigerian online media.

Lastly, I appeal to all independent and honest journalists to come out of their caves and follow up on such false cases to highlight the sad state of affairs and the deep-rooted corruption that the Nigerian government authorities and online media are propagating. 

Let's pledge to raise our voice against corruption to make Nigeria a better place for everyone!
