CIVIL-EYE: CONSERVATISM; ANTI-DYNAMISM.

 God is infinitesimally creative, nature is dynamic and man is anxious to better his life anytime he goes out, to fend for himself; to get his needs through his daily livelihood.
 But apart from just taking any means, avenue, method to work to raise money, through hard-work in labour, that has dignity yet there are still more opportunities to express what one has as advantage, opportunity or privilege, gift, potential or expertise, through experience into a self-employed activities or vested- interest or cottage-type -industry. And this is what we call Private or Self-Enterprise.
 However, taking this above-mentioned topic- sentence for this article titled "Conservatism; Anti- Dynamism" means " like- old ways", not-liking-change, favouring the established order of society.
 Then by taking into debatable consideration choosing the Nigerians as a case-study here one would see some "conservatives" raising high-brow or being indifferent whenever one is introducing his identifiable idea or linking himself to a particular field of profession yet if God is given its due but magnanimity grace in blessing and expression, one needs to know HE can use any medium to pass out HIS creativity and grandeur. This is nothing than to say God being great and panoramic is always using different but submissive persons to express his greatness in creativity, hence man is a complete- creation of God but through experience and knowledge he grows and that the quality of his experience matter a lot, for all round goodness, greatness and creativity, to facilitate his self-employment.
 So next-time you see someone introducing himself or herself ;belonging to a particular field; please! let's allow him or her to defend his or her claim at-least "if a quack concocts a fallacy, the wise are wary to unravel the fallacy for fact". This I thought I should present to us all briefly for digestion.

FANIKE FOWLS TRADERS COMMEND GOVERNMENT.

 Fanike Fowls Market Traders Molete Headquarter commended the Oyo State Government and Olubadan of Ibadan; Oba Saliu Adetunji Akanmu, for the peace reigning in Ibadan and environs, appraising the one-year anniversary of Olubadan of Ibadan as an extension of the peace and positive changes being happening under the administration of Governor Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi.
 Meanwhile the traders expressed their appreciation to the choice made by the good people in Ibadan deeming them fit in the installation of Alhaja Ameringun; as the new Iyaloja of Ibadan, Oyo State, who is an authentic member from their market.
 The executive members; comprising Chief Sabiu Lawal; BabaLoja of the market, Alhaji Ismaila Akande; the deputy Babaloja, Madam Limota Fanike; Olori Aladie, Alhaja Sariyu Elebolo; Igbakeji Olori, Alhaja Ajimobi and Alhaja Sherifat Olapade; the secretary appealed to both Federal and State Government to help in saving the country from the importation of maize from oversea, this they reiterated to be shameful for a nation called giant of Africa whose people's major occupation is agriculture to be importing maize from oversea hence, they advised the government to throw its weight into agriculture, by mechanized farming to help in the production of farm-produce especially maize, that is one of the major grains essential in feeds production, for fowls and other feathered but domestic birds.
 They stressed further that government should pay the workers as at when due, to help improve on purchasing value of money, since the workers are the majority of their customers and it is when they are cash-able they would be buoyant to buy from them and thereby helping them too, in the commercial-interaction, to move the economy of the nation forward for good.
 Nevertheless, they wanted the government to help find a lasting solution to the problem of recession that is battling Nigeria's economy, through which the citizenryhave been faced with hardship.
 Here, the traders implored the Oyo State Government to always remember them whenever consideration is given to giving loans to the traders , as they had been ostracized for long, from benefitting from such opportunity.
 In addition they appealed to Oyo State Government to help them in the provision of electricity installation for constant power supply to the market: Fanike Fowls Market Headquarter Molete Ibadan while the Oyo State government should also help to rehabilitate the road beside the market for easy transportation.
 Accordingly, the traders enjoined the new Iyaloja; Alhaja Ameringun to give priority to information dissemination and make sure the general members are adequately kept informed of any new development or meeting that need urgent attention,  to help facilitate efficiency and cordial -relationship among the members of the body of traders..
 The traders appealed to their numerous customers to bear with them in this present economic imbroglio and biting effect but promised to put in their much considerable effort in serving their customers rightly well .always.
 Fanike Fowls Market Headquarter Molete Ibadan  is the headquarter for the sales of fowls and other feathered birds in Oyo State. And here all various types of birds and domestic animals like fowls, pepeye, eyele,tolotolo,aja, ologbo, emo, ehoro, and other parts of these birds are available.

CHOP ALONE; QUENCH ALONE!

It was the erudite Professor of Engineering ; Professor Olagoke of Shafaudeen fame that corroboratedly subscribed and sufficely expressed the fact of this notion at an occasion in his speech thus that parents should sound it to their wards and children's' ears to know and understand morally that the parents' quest to send their children to school for degree certificate; in order to see them being successful , useful and self-independent is not for their sake alone, but also for the sake of their society and fellow-human being beings at-least both holy books enjoined that " Whosoever one is able to assist in one's little way is exactly one's fellow being" hence I always felt slighted when I see some persons "greedily " appropriating "goodness " of some sort to themselves , that should have been spread, shared and divided among more than one, two but many persons.
  Yet the greedy  type of that myopic and parochial nature would just be exhibiting ignorance and exposing himself to be naive and naughtily stupid, because as a matter of fact he supposed to have known  "nobody knows tomorrow" and that influence in life spreads far around infinitesimally. And where he has a chance may not be where those he cheated would have their own, so cheating others first could induced others to cheat one also, thereafter therefore, it becomes a game of tit for tat, " do me I  do you God no vex" and vicious circle.
  However, God our creator has not made man comfortable only for his own sake alone, but also for the sake of others and those in the neighborhood .
   And if living is of collectivism then :"nobody is an highland to himself": hence, when one is ascending ladder; one should make sure he doesn't spit on those who are down the ladder because one may need them when one is coming down or being forced down by  circumstance, condition or situation beyond one's control.
  Meanwhile, in marketing we are always told not to "cherry-pick", as it is important to know that sometime one's guess, calculation or prediction about some situations may be wrong ; what one sees as not having expected value now or later to oneself may be of much value indeed  to one, so whenever one is doing good to others it is never good to be selective, partial or biased.
  This is pragmatically relevant to the reason why a marketer of products who hawks around prefer to canvass for sales choosing an ordinary mechanic in that dirty-ragged-overall first before considering the corporately dressed dandy man, because the corporately  dressed may not have anything but the mechanic, may be having some money of his or customer's money in his pocket hence, an adage says "gorgeous attire doesn't depicts a man's worth".
  On this note; it is imperative to chip in an advice thus that since fate could change circumstance to favour a poor man at-times then,it is better the rich man cautions himself and be careful in his conduct.

"NON-VIOLENT POLITICS THROUGH CREDIBILITY IS THE MODERN DAY PATTERN, FOR THE PRESENT GENERATION, TO MOVE THE NATION; NIGERIA FORWARD" HON. KEHINDE AYINLA OLOYA,HON. FOR IB. NORTH EAST CONSTITUENCY.

   Politics is Life and Life is Politics but the choice is delineated both negatively and positively, stretching either in a good or bad respectively hence some believe in non-violent and some believe in hooliganism,thuggery and crisis yet the latter's end is always regretful ,while the former instance is noble, gently and productive.
 However,people are wondering; many are confused that is Nigeria really ripe enough for civilian government through democratic dispensation,as the political atmosphere is getting hot, hectic and rough, this we;the News-track- Online Editorial took the same spectrum of thought and went out to seek people and politicians for their opinion that politics as an art what does it entails.
  And here we stumbled on Honourable Kehinde Ayinla Oloya, the Oyo State House of Assembly honourable for Ibadan North East Constituency and Chairman House Committee on Investment Monitoring and State Economic Planning Oyo State who shed more light on the subject-matter for this piece.
  Meanwhile, he unwinded by starting to say that " If the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do"so as he had adduced he recommended that since nature is dynamic and nothing is static in life,as change and growth is inevitable,there should be a changed but modern pattern by which politics needs to be refashioned by giving priority to credibility, to be able to pick the best  and give morals its due place, to help "remove the chaffs from the seeds", through this every aspirant should be traced back to his or her background, with consideration for credibility evaluation.
  Nevertheless, he subscribed to the fact that it was in the olden-days the early politicians engaged in violence but now that the world is a global village and connectivity is the in-thing; bringing relatives into meeting at random and knowledgeably by experience in politics,then it would be a thing of regret if anybody still involves or adopts violence, in the course of politicking .
 Therefore,he advised the electorates to give priority to credibility, through character assessment,that should be traced down to the politicians' background, to know whether they are completely eligible to be voted for as an aspirant .
 He expatiated that politics have its impact in the society,with helping those who are aspiring for any political post to be cautious that credibility is important and character and moral building is essential,here he enlightened that politics as an art advocates that there is " no permanent friend;no permanent foe", so it is better for the politician to use the advantages lying with them to better the lot of their people and nation. 

N.S.C.D.C.OYO STATE COMMAND'S BOSS;J.A. O. ADEWOYE INTIMATES OYO STATE N.U.J. MEMBERS ON STRESS,PERSONAL SECURITY AND THE EVIL OF CORRUPTION says " To eradicate bribery in our society;all hands must be on deck".

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,Oyo State Command presented one-day Free Training for the Nigerian Union of Journalists Oyo State Council on Personal Security with the theme: " Combating the endangered species syndrome: Personal Security Assignment for the Media Practitioners".
  The Oyo State N.S.C.D.C Command's Commandant J. A. O Adewoye who came on board to deliver his own aspect of the lecture being really engaged with enthusiasm,demonstrations and exuding sincerity of purpose and power-packed package of the simple, common but significant rules, notion and genuine ideas,in his delivery of the well contextual and qualitative knowledge on Stress, Personal Security tips and Facts on the Evil of Corruption through  bribery, with the expression of good native intelligence, in his creative presentation and the exhibition of mastery expected of a good speaker cum lecturer.
  Here; he advised the team of journalists to find time out of no time to rest, create schedule of time ,for themselves,in order to stay away from stress,this he affirmed would help them to be more productive and take life simple in their relationship with others and their environment.
 Meanwhile, he enjoined them to be cautious of their schedules, movements,choice of friends,clubbing,beats and that they must give priority to personal security hence they should find a way of arresting stress after which their personal security be taken paramount,in the discharge of their roles, responsibilities,duties or assignments to the public and their fatherland.
 However, he adduced some reasons why skirmish often occur between the media-practitioners especially reporters and the security operatives but warned that it is an UN-welcomed development  which he as a member of the security operatives and stakeholder in the environmental security would make sure something is done to arrest the ugly phenomenon,through deliberation with 'heads' in the other arms of paramilitary,giving prompt but purposeful attention and redress.
 On the evil of bribery;he stressed further that discipline must be entrenched in all facets of the nation's and citizenry's activities and enterprises ,to eradicate bribery, which has eaten deeply into the fabric of the nation's system.
 Yet the transporters especially drivers of the public transport must be advised to stay off the act of giving bribe to the uniformed men
  The occasion went well with various questions, suggestions and observations of ideas being X-rated between the lecturers and the learners, who at the headquarter office of the N.S.C.D.C. Oyo State Command took a group photograph, with some members of the officers; Commandant J.A.O Adewoye and some of his senior officers.
  And afterwards the "pen-pushers" were invited to the officers-mess for a light refreshment.
 Truly, it is not a gain-say to say "like master; like members of the officers". They are trained to be combatant, ever-ready, friendly and fiercely prepared to counter either silent or sudden onslaught,from any quarter,they are the "sharp-but eagle-eye" of the nation in security matter and they can go fiercely ready and combatant as patterned by circumstance and situation of any kind and call to serve or to their service.

CIVIL-EYE: SILENCE IS SUBMISSION; POLITICIAN ARE SELFISH AND HYPOCRITICAL.

   In the face of stagnation, discouraging and haphazard but economic bastardization and bedevilment ; politicians in the opposition are expected to speak out against any short-comings of any government in power, in sensitizing the government in power , to know where things had gone amiss or where the shoe pinches the citizenry. And since government is collectivism; there should be the direct and indirect contributors involving themselves by actions or words of ideas, advises and suggestions, to move the nation forward. While any thing short of this is seen as "dereliction of duty" in the art of politics as an art.And it is tantamount to betrayal of the trust the masses especially the electorates have in them, to stand in for them in calling the government attention to their needs, plight and circumstance through genuine and constructive criticism in the opposition and supposition to the government in power, so as to enable the government in power live up to expectation.
 However, except some that have the guts, gumption and grit to criticize intermittently, it is glaringly clear that our so called politicians and political parties executives in the opposition have gone to sleep; falling into a great slumber of sort and waiting for the time when another election will be drawing in; there they will come up with their various slogans and watchwords , to deceive, cajole, and bamboozle or even stampede the ignorant-electorates and the down-trodden into voting for them, but is it not a true-talk to say what value does a woman has who when she needs nothing from her husband is always brashly, saucy, silent and indifferent to her husband yet when she needs something she is always praising, cuddling and being submissive to her husband,
   Hmmn! what is the value of a King's Chief Servant that rules with the King but refuses to die with him?!
 
  
 

" WE ARE TRAINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE; ALLOWING PEOPLE TO HAVE TRUST IN SECURITY"- D.S.C. OLUWOLE OLUSEGUN, OYO STATE P.R.O. FOR NIGERIA SECURITY AND CIVIL DEFENCE CORPS, OYO STATE COMMAND.

  Considering the much impact Civil Defense Corps of Nigeria  is generally contributing to the Environmental Security and Curbing any direct or indirect threat to it, the paramilitary which came into active existence since 1967, during Civil-War, training Officers and Volunteers , to know how to protect the public from air-raids, through to the period of 1970 when the Federal Government engaged them as intelligence and under-cover agents. And later on in 2003 when the National Assembly passed the bill, to ratify their full-fledged endorsement , as another arm of the Federal Government Security Operatives, assented by President Olusegun Obasanjo. And later in 2007 when they were allowed to add some defensive equipment to their kits.
 N.S.C.D.C. as an organized corps have greatly and immensely proven to be up to the task, in bringing the expected improvement, to their responsibilities, routine of work and allegiance to their fatherland hence News track-Online deem it fit to interview the Oyo State Command N.S.C.D.C. Public Relation Officer; D.S.C. Oluwole Olusegun representing Oyo State Command  under the able Commandant John Oyedokun Adewoye.
  In our interview with him ; the eloquent and experienced Public Relation Officer for N.S.C.D.C. Oyo State Command expressively highlighted on the various reasons and points why Civil Defense Corps generally in Nigeria have been making a great difference, reiterating on the different but series of foreign and home trainings being given to both the junior and senior N.S.C.D.C. officers, and which had helped them built a all-round fitness and alertness with mental acuity, physical agility to perform excellently as a combatant-army and proficient security officers.
  Here he affirmed that the officers of the N.S.C.D.C. have been fortunate enough to be trained under different arms of the paramilitary organizations, in existence before its establishment , such as the Army; in arms squad, Federal Fire Services ; in Fire Incident Management , Nigerian Prison Service and others of the like.
  And considering the departmentalization of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps into many Units and Sections like Crisis-Management , Conflict- Resolution and Reconciliation, Anti-Fraud Section, Ago-Ranger Unit, Solid-Minerals Unit to mention few, the training under the various units, sections and arms of the Nigerian Paramilitary and Security Operative; has added more knowledge, skills, expertise to their experience as a combatant officers and this cannot be quantified as an additional knowledge in diversification, making the officers committed, combatant, loyal, diligent, hardworking, to carry out their roles, duties and routine of work, to the members of the public and their fatherland.
  Aside the numerous incentives to improve on their condition of service; which the Federal Government and the management of N.S.C.D.C. are giving priority some of the effective approaches and incentives made available to the officers of N.S.C.D.C. have even enabled their commitment and sincerity of purpose, to their responsibilities and allegiance to their fatherland.
 Meanwhile, the  'team spirit' by which the officers relate with one another is immeasurably contagious and effectively managed.
  Yet the discipline among them is constant and cleverly resonant, with different watchwords being often uphold and recited intermittently to jolt and caution the officers to their oath of allegiance, such as "Take a bribe and die; compromise and be kidnapped", Do good to the good people; do bad to the bad people"
  However, the Oyo State Command Public Relation Officer; D.S.C. Oluwole Olusegun expressed further that the government and management of N.S.C.D.C. are trying hence, the officers of the corps are unalloyed and committed, to their various assignments, given by the Federal Government , but he advised the members of the public to continue to support, by giving timely information and be their brothers keepers.
 Nevertheless, he admonished the officers generally to know that the country is their constituency, to which they must be patriotic and always being constant in their allegiance to their fatherland and protection of the people and properties.
 By and Large it was Thomas Edison; the man behind the secrecy to electricity discovery who after nine-hundred and ninety-nine experiments to make hundredth came through to having the code to a perfect notion in generating electricity. Such is the expected achievement so far by the Federal Government in the emergence and establishment of Civil Defense Corps ; that have been making much impact and great value to the business and essence of what Environmental Security is all about.
   On this we; the Editorial Board of News track- Online thumb up! to the Initiator, the Federal Government, N.S.C.D.C. and the Good people of the great nation Nigeria.
       Let's ride on through adequate security to our promised land.
