Why would any youth consider taking his or her own life?

A number of factors could be involved. For one thing, we live in hard times very hard to deal with, and many adolescents (youths) feel the pressures of life with great intensity. Then too humans tend to harbor deeply negative thoughts about themselves and the world around them. Sometimes this is because of mistreatment. In other cases, a medical issue may be involved. Significantly, in one country it is estimated that than 90 percent of those who did take their life were suffering from some type of mental illness. Though it is important to note, however that most people especially youths who have a mental illness do not commit suicide.
Of course, no one is immune to adversity. Indeed, youths can be profoundly affected by negative events such as the following:
¤ the death of a relative, friend, or pet
¤ family conflict
¤ the breakup of a romance
¤ mistreatment including physical or sexual abuse.
Admittedly, sooner or later virtually all youths encounter one or more of the situations listed above. Why are some youths better equipped to withstand the storm than others? Experts say the people especially youths who want to give up and take their own lives feel utterly helpless and hopeless. In other words such ones see no light on the horizon. They don't really want to die; they just want to end the pain.

subscribe now to be among the first to receive the concluding part of this post, showing the way out, and what one can to protect himself from ending his/her life.

Notable Nigerians who are cultists!

Cult or secret society as the case may be is now the common thing now in Nigerian universities, and college of Education. Pyrate Confraternity, sea Dogs, Buccaneers e.t.c are some of the names of cults. But do you know that their are some notable Nigerians that are cultist? Infact some of them are the founders. Lets first look at the brief, history of some cult.

ReadHistory of cults in Nigerian Universiy System

The Pyrate Confraternity, Sea Dogs, started out in 1952 at the University College, Ibadan now University of Ibadan, the group of seven, lead by Wole Soyinka, peceived themselves as cultural nationalists. In the first two decades, the Sea Dogs maintained a very selective, restricted membership which insisted upon good academic record as a prerequisite. This perhaps explains the array of achievers who are Pyrates: This are the full list of Notable Nigerians that belongs or are still cultist 1. Wole Soyinka, Nobel Laureate in Literature
2. Olumuyiwa Are, Professor of Physics
3. Ralph Opara, Media Executive
4. D. Aig Imokhuede, Artist
5. Tunji Tubia, Medical Practitioner
6. Olu Agunloye, former Head, Federal Road Safety Corps. And some others. This article is part of theseries of posts on cults in Nigerian University system
feel free share!

Histroy of Cults in Nigerian University System

In line with daily tips academic focus will look at the history, and nature of cults in Nigerian University System.
Major cult organization in Nigeria
1. Buccaneers
2. Pyrate Confraternity, aka Alora sea dogs
1. BUCCANEERS
The Buccaneers splited from the Pyrates. The rebellion of the Thirty was led by Dr. Bolaji Carew, former provost of the lagos College of Education whose cult name is "Rica Ricardo". He was also the Supreme Eye or Sole Patron and Spiritual Head. The open challenge to the Sea Dogs is emblazoned in Buccaneer logo"Odas is Odas","A dog has a Master and the Master is a Lord", "Blud for Blud", etc. On its Aniversary, 1982, the Buccaneer Confraternity, Sea lords, became "Buccaneer Association of Nigeria"(BAN). By that time, the Vikings Confraternity was formed in opposition to the Sea Dogs and Sea lords. This was as a result of the tendency by Pyrates to hound the Palm Wine Drinkers and to parade as the only "frat" in Nigeria. In I977, for instance, the Pyrates disrupted the Convention of the Palmites at Nsukka. The fight led to disciplinary action based on the recommendations of the Afigbo Committee. Conclusions like this emerged: ¤ Between 1982-92, the implosion of secret cults took a completely different character. It became violent. For instance while the pyrates had moved into the six old Universities before 1980, the "Buckets", as others call the Buccaneers, moved into University of Lagos, 1973, University of Benin, 1978 and crossed the Niger into University of Calaber in 1980. Calabar deck pioneered into University of Nigeria, 1985 and into other institutions as a part of the wildfire proliferation thereafter. Indead from 1984, Pyrates claimed to have cut off the Students wing. Buccaneers did so in 1987. These reactions pointed to the rapid proliferation of secret cults into all manners of institutions. Worse the indication is that more groups are forming. For example, Security agents investigating reported cases of theft in late 1990, discovered documents of a new cult in the University of Nigeria at an embryo stage. Exhibit included: 1. The proposal of a new deadly organization called 'CAPPA VENDETTA' 2. The draft constitution 3. The Emblem 4. The Declaration form. Five students had completed the form. All of them were members of existing cult and were from the same community in Abia State. This trend bothered the old groups. The Alumin wanted respectability. In BAN newsletter, of July 1987 entitled "Deck Submerge": "due to the recent spate of embrassing, undisciplined and violent acts Deckhands. Grand Eye Council has decided to submerge all decks permanent for now. All Galleon Masters merge desirable deckhands with fridgates as observers" BAN also attempted to use public relations techniques to create new image, which backfired as the Warri frigate protested in a letter to the Grand Eye: Alora, lords of warri frigate wish to bring to your attention, this issues. Buccaneers are well noted for their secrecy, which is our pride. But now the only secret left is the content of grand pa's Chest. Have we became palmites which every Tom, Harry and Dick knows their Hierarchal structure?. Obviously, both Pyrates and Buccaneers were posturing and hiding their new identities as secret cults.
2. Pyrate Confraternity aka Sea Dogs.
The Pyrate Confraternity Started out in 1952 at the University College, Ibadan Oyo State Nigeria, the group of Seven was led by professor Wole Soyinka, they percived themselves as cultural nationalists. Echoes of this grand sentiment could still be heard in the objectives of the Sea Dogs: "against moribund convention, tribalism, for humanistic ideas and comradeship and chivalry" they insisted on an African content in a White-oriented Campus. But this halycon days soon passed by when the Buccaneers splited from them.
The key factor is that the nature of tertiary education in Nigeria changed dramatically in the decades. This article is part of the series of posts on cults in Nigeria University system

Series of posts on cults in Nigerian University system

Until recently the University community and in fact a great deal percentage of the Nigerian public have lived in total ignorance of the nature and activities of cult groups operating in Nigerian Universities, Indeed, it took the mayhem pepetrated by cult groups at the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife in 1999 for people to realise the danger of secret societies. 9jacampus will look at various key factors in cults, its history, pioneers, notable names, their objectives, its advantages and disadvantages Etc.

Here are articles talking about cults in Nigeria
* Cults and women abuse in university
* Are fraternities in universities
* Notable Nigerians who are cultists

Fully Funded Reasearch Scholarship in Biosciences at Swansea University, UK

The Swansea University’s College of Science currently invites applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship/Research scholarship in Biosciences. The studentship covers UK/ EU tuition fees, plus a stipend of £13,726 p.a. for three years.

Description
As the human population expands numerically and spatially at an unprecedented rate, we come into increasing contact with wild animal populations that can result in human-wildlife conflicts. These conflicts represent complex conservation problems requiring an in-depth understanding of animal space use in human-altered landscapes. Vultures have experienced population declines in many areas of the world as a result of changing agricultural and land-use practice. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms that drive patterns of space-use is required for these birds in order to understand their exposure to a range of potential threats, from harmful veterinary drugs to the risk of collisions with turbines. This PhD position will examine vulture space-use from fine to regional scales, using a combination of high-resolution movement data and Geographical Information System-type approaches.

The successful applicant will acquire diverse research skills, including analysis of accelerometry data, reconstruction of fine-scale flight paths using high-resolution movement data, use of GIS techniques and custom-made visualisation software. There are likely to be opportunities for data collection and further development of custom animal-attached hardware (Daily Diaries). The candidate will benefit from working within a lively, inter-disciplinary research environment within Swansea University’s College of Science and the use of a new £1.4 million, state-of-the art visualisation-suite, which is currently in construction. The candidate will be supervised by Dr Emily Shepard, who works on the costs and properties of animal movement paths, Dr Andrew King and Dr Adrian Luckman, who have expertise in the structure and function of animal societies and geospatial analysis, respectively.

For further details on this project, please contact Dr Emily Shepard – e.l.c.shepard@swansea.ac.uk

Eligibility
The candidates must be a strong undergraduate degree (at least an upper second class honours or equivalent) in a relevant subject is required. An MSc and/ or relevant experimental/ methodological/ field experience would be an advantage.

Application Procedure

Google Student Ambassador Application Closes Tomorow!

It’s that time of the year again, when we select students from universities across Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) to be part the Google Student Ambassador program. The second year of the program saw tremendous growth as it expanded from 6 to 12 countries, and grew from 28 to 97 universities with 160 Ambassadors within 1 year. The program also held its first training summit in Nairobi.

Google Student Ambassadors (GSAs) are student leaders on campus whose mission is to use technology to make a difference, not only in their universities, but also in their communities more widely. Ambassadors have helped improve their universities’ online presence by mapping over 60 African university campuses including the University of Ghana, and Nigeria’s Obafemi Awolowo University.

 GSAs are improving collaboration and communication among students and faculty by conducting trainings on tools such as Google Apps for Education, Google+ for Education and YouTube for School. They have also helped students and faculty to take advantage of Google initiatives for academia like the Google Online Marketing Challenge, Google Summer of Code and Google scholarships.
With the skills picked up during their tenure, a number  of GSAs have even gone on to start their own businesses. An example is Webcoupers, a Nigerian digital marketing company that was started by Oluseyi Oladipo (GSA) and Adepoju Abiodun (GSA Alumni).

If you’re inspired by these examples, we invite you to enter for the 2013 program.  Eligible students from all backgrounds should complete the application form before April 11, 2013.  For more information on the Google Student Ambassador Program and other student opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa, visit our University Programs website.
