PROMISE WRITES OUTLET

As a fellow student of the Department of Mass Communication, Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin, I would like to advise you to be careful about spreading unconfirmed information about the accreditation and mobilization of the outgoing HND 2 students. You should know that as a communicator, your credibility and reputation are very important. If the department has not been accredited yet, it is not your duty to announce it to the public without verifying the facts. Think about your future employers who are looking for qualified and competent graduates in the "LABOR MARKET". Your certificate will not matter much if you have tarnished your image as a communicator. Please, respect the efforts of the school management and the department who are working hard to ensure that you have a valuable and rewarding education. Try to present yourself as a responsible and professional communicator who has learned a lot from the Department of Mass Communication, Kwara State Polytechnic.

One of the secrets to success is looking the part. If you're wondering how your friends always manage to look fresh and vibrant, even when their bank accounts are empty, the answer is simple - they're not living a fake life, just a decent one. They've decided to rise above their problems and present themselves in the best possible spotlight. And now, you can too.  Let me tell you, just like your friends, you have the power to create your reality. You can shape your future and achieve your dreams. You have the potential to be anything you want to be. But you need to believe in yourself and take action. No let Sapa or anybody else stop you from living your best life. You are not a fake, you are a masterpiece. And you deserve to shine like one like the bright star whom you are destined to be. Regardless, you don't need to spend a fortune or compromise your values to look and feel amazing. You just need Nature Fresh, a skincare soap that's made from 100% nat...

Life is a journey that has many twists and turns, that's why my beloved Yorubas will say "Àyé ò lọ bí ọ̀pá ìbọn" Life does not go like a gun, Sometimes, we face challenges that test our resilience and determination. Other times, we enjoy moments of happiness and fulfillment. But no matter what life throws at us, we have to make choices that shape our future. We have to take steps that either lead us to success or regret. Taking a step in life means making a decision that has consequences. One of the ethics I love is CONSEQUENTIALISM, which focuses at the end of an action rather than the action itself, whatever step we want to take, it could be about our education, career, relationships, health, or anything else that matters to us. Some steps are easy and obvious, while others are difficult and risky. Some steps require careful planning and preparation, while others demand courage and spontaneity. Some steps are influenced by external factors, while others depe...

By Promise Odejide Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful leadership. As George Bernard Shaw, the renowned playwright and Nobel laureate, once said, " The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place." This statement perfectly encapsulates the significance of communication in leadership. Leaders must not only send messages but also ensure that they are received and well-understood by their followers. Poor communication can cause significant problems within an organization, leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and decreased productivity. Despite the best intentions, people may not always communicate effectively due to a lack of effective communication skills. Thus, leaders must be equipped with the skills to communicate effectively and create a positive work environment. They must also work towards achieving shared goals with their team. Steve Jobs, the legendary entrepreneur and former CEO of Apple, was...

By Promise Odejide Many people have dreams and goals, but not everyone is willing to work hard and sacrifice for them. Some people give up easily when they face challenges and difficulties, while others persevere and overcome them. What makes the difference between those who quit and those who succeed? One of the possible answers is the mindset of a champion. A champion is someone who has a strong desire, a clear vision, and a relentless will to achieve excellence in their field. A champion is someone who does not let fear, doubt, or pain stop them from pursuing their passion. A champion is someone who learns from their failures and improves from their mistakes. A champion is someone who inspires others with their courage, confidence, and charisma. One of the greatest examples of a champion in history is Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer and activist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential sports figures of the 20th century¹. He was not only a phenomenal athle...

Picture from Abraham Lincoln second inaugural address By Promise Odejide "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds." - Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address These words, spoken by President Abraham Lincoln on March 4, 1865, reflect his vision of reconciliation and healing for a nation torn apart by civil war. Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address only 41 days before his assassination and less than a month before the end of the war. He had just won a decisive re-election and could have used the occasion to celebrate his victory or to condemn his enemies. Instead, he chose to speak of sadness, humility, and compassion. Lincoln acknowledged that slavery was the cause of the war and that both sides had been wrong in their expectations of the conflict. He did not claim any moral superiority or divine favor fo...

By Promise Odejide "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." This is one of the most famous quotes by Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader and advocate for equality who spearheaded the civil rights movement in America through nonviolent protests. His life and legacy are an inspiration for anyone who faces challenges and obstacles in pursuing their dreams and goals. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, into a family of Baptist ministers. He graduated from high school at the age of 15 and received his doctorate in theology in 1955. He became the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, and a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In 1955, he led the Montgomery bus boycott, a 382-day campaign of civil disobedience against racial segreg...

Despite the challenges and obstacles that may come our way, one thing is clear: we will not be silenced. To the oppressors who believe they can relegate us from student politics, we have a message: your attempts will only fuel our determination and drive for a better future.   Student politics is a breeding ground for the leaders of tomorrow, and it is within this arena that young minds engage in the exchange of ideas, the pursuit of social justice, and the fight for a more inclusive and equitable society.

But the spirit of student politics is not easily extin...

I had wanted to speak and write about this topic for long but each time I tried to, there's always barricade hindering the flows of inspirations, Thanks to God, I'm able to overcome it like a flowing water. Life is a precious gift that we should cherish and enjoy. However, life is not always easy or fair. Sometimes, life sucks. There are many things that suck about life, such as death, suffering, injustice, and meaninglessness.  One of the most obvious and inevitable things that suck about life is death. Death is the end of our existence and the loss of everything we love. We cannot stop chasing death, as it is our ultimate destiny. On this earth, I got to know 'nothing last forever', is it the luxurious house? car? or what? Greatest title we'll never leave to hear is 'LATE'. It sucks that righteous people die, why would they die? Death taught me that, there's no segregation in him. We journeyed to earth with nothing to acquire everything th...

Mr. Ajenifuja's story is a sad reminder of how easily we can lose our compassion. He faced a harsh eviction, his landlord had no mercy as he kicked him and his family out for not paying the rent. He felt hopeless and asked for a loan from his boss, but he was rejected again. He looked for help from his community, he reached out to an influential personnels, hoping for some support. But no one answered his calls. Even his own family, who shared his blood, did not comfort him. He was desperate and went to social media, where he asked for help, but he only got 2 likes and zero comments - a cold sign of how the digital age does not care. He did not give up, he texted his friends, each message carrying his family's future. Of the 120 messages, only a few 10 had the decency to reply. Among these, only one helped him, while the others just said sorry. His situation got worse, his house locked, his family thrown away like old pictures, his anger rose. In the dark, he looked...

L-R SUG PRO, Eminent and Promise Olamilekan.  I used to think that student leadership was meant to represent the interests of the students. However, what I witnessed in Abuja was not in the students' interests, but in personal interests. After all, someone once said, "Education is different from politics, you can do politics without being educated". Deep down, I compared the scenario to those in parliament. Do they represent our interests? No! It is very obvious when they complain that Nigeria's roads are bad and demand that the citizens buy them luxurious cars. That is the country we live in. The country where we hand over the government's duties to God and the government blames us, the citizens, for the bad roads. Similarly, I thought my travelogue would end on a good note, but I did not know that Ojuelegba was not just a name, but something I would experience soon. On Tuesday, 31st of October, I opened my eyes to a light bulb shining. I felt within...
