Don't be surprise when I say, "Chinese is my second language". Born into a family of three, my Dad a Chinese, mum a Japanese my two sisters Koreans while I'm a Nigeria and black for that matter. LMAO!!! Ok, if you buy that then you must be coming from the moon. :D
I be original omo Ibo wey dey speak yoruba pass yoruba people. Mehn! I'm even supposed to be in the movie industry sef.
Ok, enough joke jor...
This is one development that's coming rather late than never. Self defense you'll agree with me should be embedded in the Nigerian educational curricula right from our primary schools not just in the anticipation of being posted to the northern states where we've witnessed crisis but as a culture, a lifestyle.
This is the story:
The 2012 Batch “A” corps members of the NYSC scheme will be trained in martial arts while at the orientation camp.
Announcing this at the NYSC orientation camp in Iseyin, Oyo State, on Thursday, the State Coordinator, Mrs Sekinat Idowu, said the training was for self-defence.
Idowu spoke at the swearing in and official opening of the orientation course for 3,010 corps members posted to Oyo State.
She said the new training schedule was part of the Federal Government’s policies toward ensuring that the scheme became an enduring instrument in the transformation agenda of government.
Idowu also said there would no longer be posting of corps members to banks and other private organisations unless their services fell under the purview of certain critical sectors of the economy.
She listed the sectors as agriculture, education, health and rural infrastructure.
The corps members, made up of 1,512 males and 1,498 females, were sworn in by the state’s Chief Judge, Mrs Badejoko Adeniji. (NAN)
Like my people will say, "Charms do not perform miracles on the shelf; they perform for those who are brave." So, my advice for every Nigerian whether young or old is to learn Martial Art for self defense because you never know???!!!
