INTRODUCTION : Where Amen Meets Algebra  By: Dr. Emmanuel Eyitemi Binitie  If you have ever schooled in Oyo State, you know that the line between faith and education is often thinner than the margin on a WAEC answer sheet. In some schools, the morning assembly starts with both “Good morning sir!” and “Hallelujah somebody!”—a perfect reminder that in Oyo, prayers and pencils walk hand in hand. As the Yoruba say, “Ẹ̀kọ́ là ń kọ́, ẹ̀kọ́ kì í tan ní ọjọ́ kan” — “Education is a lifelong process; you never finish learning.” This blog post takes us on a journey to see how faith and education shape the heartbeat of Oyo communities. --- A Brief Walk Through History The story of education in Oyo cannot be told without mentioning religion. Missionaries, both Christian and Muslim, played huge roles in establishing schools that gave people access to formal learning. Churches built classrooms, mosques encouraged literacy through Qur’anic studies, and communities rallied around these institu...

Two kids begged them to buy their tiny website for $1m.  But Yahoo’s CEO called it "a waste of time". 11 years later, those kids wiped Yahoo off the internet. Here’s the shocking story of Yahoo's downfall.  1994, Yahoo started as a college project I A website built to help people find information online. By 1996, it became the largest online platform at a $33.8M valuation. They had the users, the hype, and the cash. But cracks were forming… Then in 1998, two Stanford students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, built a revolutionary search engine. Their algorithm made Yahoo’s search look ancient. Unlike Yahoo’s directory-style listings, where human editors manually organized websites,  These guys built something different. Their secret sauce? PageRank. Instead of just matching keywords, their algorithm ranked websites based on how many other sites linked to them, like academic citations.  The more li...

  Rethinking what's good and bad for you. WHEN YOU ENVISION foods that might wreck your diet or sabotage your health, what pops into your mind? Chances are the list includes options that could actually help you reduce stress, prevent heart disease and ward off certain cancers. Unfortunately, though, once a food gets labelled as bad for health, it never seems to lose that description, despite numerous studies that may contradict previous claims. What if you could enjoy some of your old favourites again (in sensible amounts, of course)? Here are 6 foods to consider: Chocolate Old thinking : It's so good, it has to be bad.

A : With so much attention given to the television screen, it's easy to overlook the other important element of your home theater: sound.            Oh sure, your TV's stereo audio might be OK for watching the evening news or a rerun of an old sitcom, but you can do much, much better for the latest television programs, sports, video games, music videos and movies.
