By; Okunola Promise                   The term rape originated from the Latin word, rapere (supine stem raptum), "to snatch, to grab, to carry off.  Rape was initially considered a crime only in terms of the property violation of another man.  For instance, ancient Hebrew women who were raped were considered defiled, and stoned to death.

By Akerele Sewa Deborah     Rape, unlawful sexual activity, most often involving sexual intercourse, against the will of the victim through force or the threat of force or with an individual who is incapable of giving legal consent because of minor status, mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. In many jurisdictions, the crime of rape has been subsumed under that of sexual assault.  Rape was long considered to be caused by unbridled sexual desire, but it is now understood as a pathological assertion of power over a victim The legal definition of rape has changed substantially since the late 20th century. The traditional definition was narrow with respect to both gender and age; rape was an act of sexual intercourse by a man with a woman against her will. As rape is now understood, a rapist or a victim may be an adult of either gender or a child. Although rape can occur in same-sex intercourse, it is most often committed by a male against a femal

Naijefate Blog .. I once met a very successful business woman and I asked her to share her secret with me.  She smiled and said to me..  I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.  I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me... I stopped fighting over unnecessary issues with my spouse... I stopped fighting for attention... I stopped fighting to meet up with public expectation... I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight... “And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny. Then I started winning big". That was the day I gave up on small fights. Some fights are not worth your time. Fight to make your visions and dreams come alive! Fight the good fight of faith!  Fight for your destiny not for your ego! Entrepreneurs shouldn’t have time for unnecessary fights! Visionaries don’t cluster their mind with nonsense bickering! Always ask, what is this fight adding to my destiny, my goal, my progress?  Choose wh

  #OSPOLYDECIDES: Ospoly Student Politics By: Ayobami Abidoye Me: Hmmm, the search has begun in ospoly SuGs,  What battled me most is how will ospolites vote for the competent leaders. Mate: AYOBAMI 'kinni show' every aspirant were already shaking the table, it's only during election like this every aspirant become professor, masters every beat of English grammar to convince electorate. Student Union Governments were established in various institutions of higher learning to promote unity, orderliness and smooth relationship between students, school authorities and the state or Federal Government. It is unfortunate that most SUGs in Nigerian Polytechnics do not know the key objectives for which they were established.  This is why some student governments see the freedom they enjoy as an opportunity to cause mayhem and anarchy in their institutions. It is true that there are legitimate issues  of poor service and maladministration for which students should feel genuinely aggr

You know what time you have to be at the library if you actually want a decent seat , you know which lectures are safe to miss (according to some of my friends, all of them), and you know the ins and outs of most of the buildings (apart from Motion Ground and Rectors Office), because you still can’t work out how to actually leave when the lecturer tells you to all leave from the back). You’re feeling pretty cool and confident about the whole thing.

The Popular Thrift Collector Often Thought To Be A Yoruba Myth Have you heard of the popular phrase "Alajo Somolu"? Did you know he was a real person? Alphaeus Taiwo Olunaike, popularly called Alajo Somolu, was born in 1915 in Isan-Oyin, Ogun State, Nigeria. Taiwo was born as a triplet and in ancient Yoruba land, triplets were believed to bring bad luck to the land. Therefore, the first of the three was taken away and buried alive while the second, Kehinde died at infancy, leaving behind only Taiwo. In 1934, he graduated from St. John's School in Lagos. Two years later, he enrolled as an apprentice under a tailor named Rojaye, where he learnt for 9 years. A few years after his apprenticeship, he accompanied his uncle on a commercial trip to Cameroon. In Cameroon, he tried various ventures until he learnt thrift collection from a neighbour and returned to Nigeria in 1954 to start his own thrift collection business called "Daily Alajo Somolu". Taiwo was a smart ma

Naijefate Blog    By; Ayobami Thomas Abidoye We live in a great time where science and technology has made virtually everything possible. Accessing information and entertainment is like picking up something from the ground With the invention of cell phones and Internet you could be anywhere in the world with just a click. The invention of all these wonderful discoveries has served us with a lot of benefits but meanwhile it is causing damage to our ability to concentrate on the real world.  These inventories has made us neglect a lot of things we ought to be doing or have done.  For instance, a person could spend the whole day operating a computer or phone while neglecting other important tasks he/she ought to do or should have done. Most times we tend to focus too much attention on the Internet. I am not saying the Internet is bad (of course it's the best thing that has happened to human over the decades) but sometimes they are the major cause of distraction to our reality world.  

“Come in Khaleed and Kameelah, it’s time for lunch,” their mom called out to them. The children were playing statue. They would twirl each other around, then they'd stopped twirling and freeze in place. Speaking the same words at the same time, Khaleed and Kameelah said. “I bet I can beat you.” Kameelah, at that instant, turned and ran toward the house, leaving Khaleed behind. “Go wash your hands and do not leave water splashed everywhere. Clean up after yourselves,” their mom said. “Yes, Mommy,” they both responded. Khaleed, and Kameelah answered together often. It may have been because they are paternal twins. Besides this similarity, they also loved competing with one another. Well, maybe not so much loved. Sometimes, Khaleed, would become jealous of Kameelah. He believed their parents showed his sister favor over himself, she being a girl. Every time Khaleed had a chance, he would challenge Kameela, wanting to beat her and come in first. Mom said. “Sit down and say your prayer.

By: Basil Okoh Nigerians are counting with hopeful optimism, the days to the end of Buhari’s tenure at Aso Villa in 2023, believing that come that year and the day May 29 2023, Buhari will hand the Presidency over to another, who everybody hopes will be a more humane manager to run the affairs of Nigeria. The new leader we all hope, will lead us away from the precipice that presently threatens Nigeria.  The Bola Tinubu Yoruba caucus of the APC are, against the evident signs to the contrary, believing that Buhari will find the usual way to win the presidential election for Bola Tinubu and hand over to the aged and sick man, to continue the unhinged roller coaster called Nigeria from where Buhari stops. The bad news is that there will be no Nigeria to hand over to anyone in 2023, not to Tinubu or to Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar. In truth, there will be no Nigeria to hand over to even the military as we presently know it.  Matters of the despoliation of the polity and infusion of Islamism

 I like the man who faces what he must With step triumphant and a heart of cheer; Who fights the daily battle without fear; Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God; That somehow, true and just, His plans work out for mortals; not a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear, Falls from his grasp; better, with love, a crust Than living is dishonor; envies it, Nor loses faith in man; but does his best, Nor even murmurs at his humbler lot; But with a smile and words of hope, gives zest To every toiler; he alone is great Who by a life heroic conquers fate.

It is darkest hour in our history, Dark nights shrouded with mystery, Keeping under heels and making mockery, Liberty torch shine but under label of slavery, We may hide cruel face under facial, Abuses hurl and utterances very racial, Delicate phase but survival very crucial, Efforts needed nor normal but very special, Colour cast, creed based on ethnic entity, Human race can’t maintain proper continuity, Change in attitude and mental state, Can’t risk entire race to a dangerous fate, Thousands of people flee homeland and live, Constant fear for life and prepared to dive, Decades of struggle not paying any result, More poverty, inhuman treatment and insult, Holocaust, partition and burning of homes, Green pastures and forest reserve in flames, Not sparing nature and still more blames, Is it deliberate attempt to play dirty games? Still we not miss a chance for double speak, Invade on neighbours, who are feeble and weak, Impose terms so as to strangulate and muffle, Win a war without bl

    THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY AND NAIRA     The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently devalued the Naira by seven percent against dollar in order to migrate towards a single exchange rate system for the local currency.      The currency exchange rate of Naira was at #197 to a dollar as at June 2015, but now exchanges at above #400.       However, the people are no longer dealing with the CBN official rate for transactions. Findings have revealed that Bureau De Change (BDC) operators get the dollar from the CBN at #393 but sell it for #494.       The major causes of the depreciation of Naira include the unnecessary importation of goods and services by Nigerians, and the deficit in local production and manufacturing of essential goods and services.       In order to prevent Naira from getting weaker, the government t must put the following into action. Firstly, the government must encourage the consumption of locally manufactured goods and services in order to reduce pressure on the Naira.  

2023 politics: The Beginning of Another Journey.      By Abdulsalam oniyere         Now, the journey of another miles is around the corner and politicians are running helter skelter from one political party to another in order to test their political validity and popularity before the race fully begins. And as time goes on, chaos will set in, likely to be anchored by political 'harlots' (decampees) who believe that is the best way of doing things rather than supporting a party that will definitely win at the end of the journey.       This are the questions to ask ourselves; what will be the position of this country and we, citizens of this nation in the aftermath of this impending political journey?

Believe me readers can never fail, Enigma Reading Club still remain the biggest reading club so far in the history of ospoly . Wouldn't it be great if everything we needed to know to be successful was written down somewhere for us? Well, it is. Virtually everything we need to learn to help ensure our success has already been written and is available in books. You have probably heard the phrase, "readers are leaders," quite often. The reason is because it's true. Readers are leaders because they understand that knowledge is the key to success and reading books is a great source of that knowledge. Leaders read books because they know this is one of the best ways to learn things they don't know and to reinforce the things that they do know. In fact, the only way a book can't help you is if you don
