Femi (learn to be without your surname) Femi Fani-Kayode you owe him an apology. That you cowered him & got him to apologise just simply shows you are good at bullying. This behaviour of yours & threats by your security guards is very common. I saw it first hand. Get off your high horse

When we were young children and teenagers, many of us read novels and magazines voraciously. Handwriting, sentence construction mattered. I worry that today’s tech culture of mobile phones and social media can dumb down thinking. Many young people can’t write a proper letter.

The NYSC should not be scrapped.Its needed now more than ever before.Many Nigerians have never known anywhere other than their hometown and University town if not for NYSC.Its mandate should be expanded to give participants full military training in the face of insecurity.
