Ayo8: Ok Sir. There have been fears the existence of nuclear weapons could lead to a situation whereby human beings are wiped out. But there is nothing that can blow up the Earth into a dwarf planet. I believe nothing will be able to destroy all lives on Earth, not to talk of making the Earth a dwarf planet. |

AlexBells: Ok Sir. Although the aspect of evolution,I believe man is evolving in a sense. In the last many years, there has been increase in scientific advancement and definitely it will continue, throughout human existence. By 2500, man will be able to do something that looks impossible now. From discovery, the Earth has been the home of different animals and beings which got extinct and replaced by other animals and beings, just as you have said. |

What some people cannot begin to realize is that the world cannot continue in this present state for so long. We are only in 2021, and before 2500, the world will have changed so much so that if someone who is presently alive were to visit the Earth by 2500, he/she wouldn't be able to recognize it anymore. If the world has been changing and will continue to change in the next few decades. How much then will it change in the next many decades? From history, you will see that many great nations rose and fell again. US, Russia, Nigeria etc, will not continue to exist in the states they are now. One day, they may split or merge with other nations to form new countries with new names. At least this has been the pattern since man began to live on Earth. Another thing that has characterized the Earth is war, and destruction of nations. Nations have been buried under the Earth and other unhabited parts have become nations over the course of human existence on Earth. The present friction between the world powers could lead to history repeating itself. It could lead to a new world emerging from the debris of destroyed nations. It is completely clear from history that human beings cannot stay without fighting war. It is totally true that sooner or later, a major war will break out which will lead to some nations ceasing to exist, while some places which are currently forests,rivers, and seas will become lands for habitation. Some places which are lands will become rivers,seas and forests. Some places will be buried under the Earth. That is why scientists end up digging up the debris of buried nations. This has been the case since the Earth began and it will continue to be so. Can you share what you think is going to happen in the next many decades? |

Another thing that is very shocking is the tendency of people to hate and abuse good, humble and kind people while evil people are being pampered. Infact, if you are good, humble and kind, everything you do, people will be offended. For example, if you're the principal of a school and in your school, you expelled stubborn students. People would be so mad at you, even when other principals before you had expelled students, but people did not react. They are only mad at you because you are good. Another example is this: Let's assume you are a good, humble and caring person, everywhere you go, people will try to provoke,hate and abuse you, thinking that since you are good, you will not react against them. As a good, humble and caring person,if one day you do something that is not so favourable to someone/people, he/she/they would curse and abuse you more than they ever cursed a wicked person who did worse than you did. I don't mean that you committed a crime against people. What I mean is maybe as a leader, you took a decision like "from today,I will only supply A and B, but not C" They will curse you more than they ever cursed a leader who was very wicked and committed murder and crimes against humanity. Infact people will not hesitate to always find offence in you. They will judge and condemn you in everything. Let's say, you are reading a novel, there must be someone who condemn you for reading the novel. I believe what underlies this tendency is because so many people are bad and wicked, and they will condemn the good ones, so that it will not appear as if the good ones are better than them. They want to make the good ones to look evil like themselves. This underlies why people would not hesitate to always find offence in the good, caring, loving and the humble ones 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Another thing that is not far from surprising is the tendency of people to follow the crowd. They do it without reasoning. For example, if I and my group of friends decide to tag someone a thief and beat him/her up. Before you know it, other people would to beat the person without trying to find out if the person is a thief or is being set up. Countless number of people have lost their lives because of the tendency of people to follow the crowd. If people are saying that "X" is the best, someone will almost never try to find out if the people are correct or not, before believing it. That is why lies/deception spread so much in our society, because everyone believes what the majority is believing, without trying to find out the truth. 58 Likes 5 Shares |

Another thing is Unnecessary wickedness. Some people can be so unnecessarily wicked that you begin to wonder. Someone would do something wicked of which he/she will not gain anything. So many people are only waiting for you to cross their path, so they can harm you. Even if you try to avoid it, somehow or other, he/she would still find a way to do you harm. This character underlines why there is so much backwardness and poverty in this world(particularly in the third world countries where wickedness is the order of the day), even though there is so much wickedness. It is because most people are wicked but they don't gain anything from it. If people were to gain from wickedness,then most people (particularly Africans) would have lived above poverty. They would have enjoyed good health and better/long lives. So wickedness is mostly unnecessary. 62 Likes 5 Shares |

To me, one of such character is Unnecessary pride. It only requires a proud person to believe that every other person is below him/her. It only requires a proud person to imagine that he/she can insult and abuse everyone because he/she is higher than all. For example, you can see a final year student of the University, and you try to relate with him, but he would be insulting you, with the mind that he is higher than you academically. He doesn't even stop to think that you could be a Masters student. He just conclude in his mind that he is higher than everyone in the school, because he is in final year. I when in camp, some corpers were insulting one of the officials, asking why someone like him have to address them on an issue which I have forgotten. It turned out later that the man was a PhD holder. This is the kind of pride that characterizes human interaction. People don't want to know, they just assumed things out of pride. I know some people may use pride to characterize their new promotion, job, and etc. But must you characterize your next level with pride? Although I know some people who became very humble due to promotion, good job, and etc. Please share the character people exhibit that shocks you. 46 Likes 5 Shares |

I an incident which happened in my state. A man went to his farm with his family which included a baby. The farm was near a forest. They kept the baby on some clothes and started working. When the man turned around after sometime,he saw a monkey holding his baby. He thought the monkey would make away with his baby. So he loaded a gun,aimed at the monkey and shot. But the monkey suddenly raised the baby to cover itself. That is how the bullet killed the baby while the monkey dropped the dead baby and fled into the bush. It is not always that animals are wicked. I have seen a dog kissing a baby. Maybe the monkey loved the innocence of the baby and wanted to just hold the baby. But the man thought the monkey meant evil by carrying his baby There is a way an animal can love you and just want to hold you. 1 Like |

lecturer50: Those who have Bachelor and those who have HND are all graduates. Both think of doing Masters. I knew some HND holders during my NYSC days who were very eager to start Masters. They were making enquiries about Masters. So this desire affects all graduates. |

I what one camp official told us while in camp in Karaye,Kano. He said "I know you all are very eager to leave camp, but I can assure you, after you have left, you would miss this camp so much that if given opportunity, you would want to come back here. I discovered it was true in my case. I believe it will be true for those corpers just leaving camp. No matter who you become tomorrow, any time you think about the camp and NYSC, you must always miss it. I know one lecturer who told me the happiest moment of her life would always be during NYSC. |

I thought that way and I started saving money to run a Masters. But my fellow roommate (a corper also) advised me against starving myself all in a bid to save money for Masters, because according to him, maybe God had a better plan for me. He said I might regret it if tomorrow, money came my way and I would be regretting starving myself instead of feeding well during my service year. I thank God I listened to him. Sometimes how we plan it may not be how it turns out. It was after two years of service that I got to start a Masters and finished it after 4 years. It was not even in BUK i did my Masters but in UDUS. That is how life is: It may not be how you planned it. |

When you finish your program and you are posted to serve, the relief you get because you are no longer a student, the weight of reading and the stress of schooling being lifted from you, it naturally brings joy, the joy that comes with freedom from schooling. That is why you are so happy when you are inside a vehicle from your state to the state you are posted: The journey of freedom. But during your service, you begin to consider going back for a Masters, either in Nigeria or abroad. This is because you feel that you have become a graduate and doing Masters is just going to be fun, afterall you are not doing it to be educated, since your first degree already makes you educated. I know so many people who thought this way. I equally thought that way and I always pictured myself doing Masters in BUK, Kano. You want to feel like: "Okay I am already a graduate, but I am now a post-graduate student." You want to see those undergraduate students while you yourself are higher than them as a Masters student. You want to feel that you are not doing it under the compulsive desire to get a degree (which is common during your undergraduate days), but voluntarily. 1 Like |
