By Egbara Emmanuel Ikaba. May 29,2018. Ants are wonderful creatures and they affirm there can be unity in diversity. These creatures work collectively and in harmony for one goal ‒ to support their colony during hard times and in the time of harvest.  The ant colony is made up of the queen, whose role is to lay eggs that will replenish the population to avoid extinction. Workers are another group, and their function is to hunt for food, care for the little ones, work the nest and safeguard the colony.  For the male ants, their function is to mate with the queen for reproduction. It is said that after they have performed this function, they may die. Comparably, it can be said that the extent to which a state,a nation or a community can excel is determined by how well it can function like the ant colony. In that light, it becomes a necessity rather than an option that we the Yala nation rise and rescue land. Arise Yala people for your Land, The Yala Nation d...

May 29,2018 Dear compatriots, Today, we celebrate the re-birth of our nation’s democracy. On this day, eighteen  years ago, the world watched as we ushered in a new era of government chosen by the people  after countless years of military rule. Democracy Day marks the turning point in our history, when we as a nation defied all odds and expectations, and chose to rebuild our motherland on the principles adhered to by many nations before us: that the people of a country can stand sovereign over their elected leaders, by exercising their right to choose at the ballot box. Our democracy since 1999 has hurtled through numerous crossroads that have served to define our strength as a state/ nation, and have made many of our institutions stronger. On this day, I want us to recognise Cross riverians from all walks of life for their tireless and heroic sacrifices that have kept us together  in spite of the difficult challenges that have confronted us.  I want u...

photoCredit: google.com One of the most common question interviewers ask is ‘ Tell me about yourself ?’ This question can be daunting or a perfect way to influence how your interview goes indirectly. So many jobseekers get tongue-tied when asked this question or they begin to ramble and the interview goes downhill from there. How can you safely and correctly answer ‘the’ question without shooting yourself in the foot? Give a brief of your education background any of your hobbies etc. You can also mention one of your major achievements, if it fits the circumstance. Keep the answer to just about 3-4 sentences and not more than that. No need to explain your strengths & weakness at this points (as that will definitely come along). Keep the answer simple, to the point and give space and time for further questions. Do not stretch it too much. A good example would be: Interviewer : Tell me about yourself Interviewee :  Good morning (or as the time dictates). ...
