RUSSIA AND THE NEW WORLD

By -
 
I hope we are quickly coming to terms with the reality that the East-West ideological disparity will continue to grow rapidly, with greater and more precarious consequences to the World. The West handling of Russia with respect to the latter's role in Ukraine and the economic sanctions which the West continues to slam on Russia are now driving a new type of deviance from Russia and it's allies in the East, and at the end of this ideological conflict, i foresee the creation of two economic worlds, and a radically reduced inter-dependency between the West and the East and vice-versa.
 
A good behavioural characteristic of humans is, when we are exposed to some challenges, we innately tend to rise up to confront these challenges and proffer solutions to whatever effect they have on us. This perfectly defines Russia's response to the cold economic war it has been fighting with the West since the annexation of Crimea and further outbreak of violence in eastern Ukraine.
 
With the media propaganda that have ensued since the economic war began, one can not categorically enumerate how biting the western sanction on Russia's economy are, but what we can all see is, Russia have considerable rose to the occasion, and today, i personally think Russia is greatly taking advantage of the challenges to further grow towards a rapidly reduced Western Institutions dependency. This is evident by Vladimir Putin's active and increasing re-awakening and
re-building economic and military ties with old friends.
 
We already witness the establishment of some Russian's concept of International Services such as ones similar to services rendered by Mastercard and Visa and so on, which will serve the Russians. In the last few days, the world witnessed a Russian driven action propelling the BRICS Nations to move aptly in establishing new Banking Institutions and emergency reserves fund which will rival the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). We must take note of the fact that the BRICS Nations have about half of the world's population and one-fifth of the global economic output.
 
In Putin's outing in South America, we saw the Russian leader calling for more military-ties between Russian old friends and we saw new foundations being laid for future and more trades and Arm deals between Russia and South America. All in all, at the end of this imbroglio, perhaps the world will see a Russia that is more immune against the West and the establishment of two worlds. The price the Russia population will pay for this deviance is probably not an issue for people outside Russia to discuss. The Russian system works differently and the Russian government seems to be in absolute control of the Media and people within it's borders.

REJECTION IS FINE, MY PhD STORY... by Niyi Olarewaju

By -
In 2017, I applied for 5 PhD positions, four ended in premium rejections. But, after each rejection, I improved and moved on. I was finally accepted for the fifth one which was the most competitive, with over 450 applicants for 20 positions. I did not believe my eyes when I received a mail informing me I scaled through the initial screening, I thought it was a fluke. I had my BSc and MSc in Agricultural Sciences. How is it possible I passed the screening for PhD positions at Hannover Medical School? Well, I was officially invited for an all-expense-paid interview in Hannover, and I also received the list of the available PhD projects. I went through, and I had no experience in any of the topics, as they focussed majorly on cardiovascular diseases, stem cell therapies/research, regeneration approaches, and cancer research. This is impossible I said... I read widely on the projects, and I became profoundly fascinated by their prospects. The mere thought that I may get an opportunity to w...

NIGERIA 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND THE CHOICES AHEAD by Olaniyi Olarewaju

By -
As the Nigerian 2019 election is fast approaching, with campaign activities gaining tract and the nation's electoral commission ramping up preparations, it is pertinent to also critically appraise the options presented Nigerians in this election. In this article, I will primarily focus on the presidential election which of course draws the biggest interest, and which is also, the most important in this round of elections. Interestingly, unlike other elections since the military handed over power to the civilians in 1999, there seems to be very little optimism and excitement about the 2019 presidential election. In 1999, we were all excited about the prospect of returning Nigeria to democratic governance after about 15 years of military rule. In 2007, it was fascinating to see the nation transition from one democratic government to another. The 2011 presidential election was special in its own way, because of the unique stories of the top candidates in that election. The climax o...

My Thoughts on the Migrant Crisis in Europe by Olarewaju Precious Olaniyi

By -
Honestly its amazing how world leaders address issues sometimes, European leaders want to address the growing migrant crisis without addressing the on-going war in Syria which is the biggest contributor to the incredible explosion in the number of migrants arriving the shores of Europe finding solace and peace. I think these leaders need to be honest, this issue can only and must be addressed from source, a return of peace to Syria through an agreement between Iran and Russia-backed Assad Regime and Western-backed Syrian Rebel Coalition Forces, seems to be the LIKELIEST path to return of peace in Syria since it seems defeating the Assad's regime is growing increasingly unlikely, and peace in Syria is the ultimate solution to the exploding migrant crisis in Europe.  I don't want to sound as if i am singling out Syria on this issue, but again, Syria is apparently the biggest contributor to the explosion in the number of migrants arriving the shores of Europe, and this emphasizes ...
