Must be worth it: The race for power or Leadership

The race is not for the swift…

It is simply impossible to ignore the current tussle and struggle for power
amongst all individuals eyeing public offices especially the title of president even as we look forward to the coming elections. Like always, many Nigerians led by the strong resentment they have for the current government for the years of suffering they have had to withstand are determined to vote in the lesser devil (“The devil you know is better than the one you do not know”, many of them say. But the question of how well they know the devil they think they know is a question that tags along with defensive answers). And so likewise, there are others who even after years of suffering are willing to vote in a candidate simply because, “He understands the system and would most certainly do better”. Nigerians being Nigerians by forgetting that they said the same thing the last time. Why the question of what the ones who have been in the system enough to understand it are still behaving very much like the system confuses them is never asked is downright astonishing and of course, laughable!

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas can no longer produce insulin, or when the body does not make use of the insulin it produces. Diabetes affects how your body uses food (glucose) to make energy. Diabetes, if not taken care of can result to serious health problems
such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputations, and even death.
This disease affects more than 300 million people worldwide. Unfortunately, one out of every ten adults have diabetes or pre-diabetes. That means that 1 in 10 adults will develop type 2 diabetes during their lifetime. Diabetes can be prevented by making healthy lifestyle changes such as eating right, being physically active, maintaining a normal weight, quitting smoking and controlling blood pressure.

What would you do if you were in need of a study material that is missing in your department’s library? Let me give you another scenario, imagine you needed to know something about Arc111 or another course you have to diligently prepare for since you have a test coming soon and you
cannot find a resource in the department’s library to help you with it, how would you go about it? What books or websites could help you? Now, this is where virtual libraries come into play. Virtual libraries are online databases that contain literature on all or almost all spheres of life.
Thanks to technology and its improvement over the years, they can be accessed through computers, tablets and smartphones. The best thing about these digital gadgets is that they allow you to search for information without having to leave your room. You can even access them at any time of the day or night.
In today’s world, we are always connected to these devices and we are constantly checking emails, browsing social media, checking out websites, watching videos, listening to music, and playing
games. We can also use these devices to learn more about subjects or topics that we are curious about. And truthfully, Virtual libraries are just one way to make this possible. There are many different types of virtual libraries available and some specialize in specific fields such as medicine, law, business, etc., while others cover a wide range of topics.
The two main categories of virtual libraries are; subscription based and free. Subscription based virtual libraries require users to pay a monthly fee in order to gain access to their content. While free virtual libraries offer unlimited access to their content. According to a report by the International Association of Virtual Learning Environments (IAVLE),
there are more than 2 million virtual learning environments available worldwide. In fact, IAVLE estimates that over half of universities have some form of virtual library.
