Unity Schools Old Students Association

The Unity Schools Old Students Association had one of her meetings, an evening event on the June 19, 2011 at the Lagoon Restaurant Victoria Island Lagos to discuss topical issues in our Educational system and Unity of our country.
Everyone got the chance to introduce themselves formally.
Queens College Old girls had the Oldest Student (Senior Yinka-  OGQC class of '57) and the youngest student representative (Me).
Vital points were raised on how to help the present situation in our educational system and how members of USOSA can get involved to ensure our schools become centers of excellence, national integration and leadership development.
I had fun too.

Save us!!!! My thoughts

Have you ever wondered what would happen at the company you work for if you died? They would simply 

hire someone or probably a team in a couple of days to finish off from where you left.

Have you taken out time to think about those who would be most affected when you are gone?.The ones who cannot hire another to take your place and no matter how great the intervention may never recover?

These days our minds are flooded and crammed with, meeting work obligations, setting the perfect example for our employees becoming world class heroes and what amount of money is, or is not streaming into our bank accounts. 90% of our sense of livelihood is derived from the pursuit of happiness, building business networks and how much time and energy we must invest to become eligible retirees at 40. We are so busy with getting up early and resting so late. Do we ever have time to think for ourselves? No family time. Even Christmas holidays are intruded by work calls and it’s even easier these days with mobile technology.

Making ends meet and achieving our goals are very necessary but, what happens to our children’s sense of moral values, their mental and psychological development. Do your loved ones really feel loved and protected? Can they find a friend and a true counselor in you? Are you even there?

There’s really a lot on my mind and I have really been trying hard to put them all down. We are all guilty of these ills.

Would we ever be able to leave a worthy legacy for those who look up to us? Or are we just living to make ends meet?

Make out good time and win normal life!!!!

Snippets from the Ancient City

I did see things from a different perspective in Oyo State, and it was a good retreat from the buzz of Lagos State.
I was compelled to do a mental comparison between   Oyo State and other states I have been to based on the environment and the people I had the opportunity of interacting with.
Two days and one night in Oyo and I already figured;

• Some things come really easy in some places 
• Motion does not necessarily mean action
• A team with one mind would take 6 flights of stairs at a go, even while holding hands.

Thanks to the best colleagues I  did have a nice time, got more ideas and  new ways to be effective.

More details coming soon.
