The road less travelled.

This week’s post marks the first full month that I started this blog and also the first guest post – to read the guest post by Abdulhafeez Babatunde Siyanbola, currently a doctoral student in the Department of Industrial Design at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria, you can click on “The challenges of regulating the Nigerian education system.” and if you would like to read this heartfelt message from me to you to the end, then, I’ve put the link to the guest post at the end of this message.

My first post went live on 25th of December 2016 and since then I’ve tried as much as possible to make it a weekly post. In-between the first post on the politics of tertiary education admission policy in Nigeria and today’s post, I have written on issues like: sports and reading; the problem of out-of-school children in Nigeria ; the use of social media; and the ever growing rhetoric of skills based education amongst politicians in Nigeria in the era of post-truths and alternative facts.

I have to say that I am humbled and grateful that people have found my posts worthy of their time and to this end, I would like to say a big thank you. A month as a pseudo writer is a very short period to know what the future holds, but at the same time, it has given me enough impetus to write more and hopefully, engage more and better with the soul of this site – the readers. Because without you reading my posts then it would have just been worthy of me to have kept a personal diary for family and friends. So, I appreciate your stopping by in this era of digital distraction to consider my blog to be worthy of the most precious and most valuable asset in life – time.

Whilst, I’m very sure that there are bound to be bumpy roads along the way and the occasional instances of going down the route of the road less travelled; I hope whatever differences in opinions, views or positions we may have or take, we will probably have more in common, as far as addressing most of society’s challenging issues are concerned.
