My Reflections On The Just Concluded EKSUSUG Elections.

All Praises and Adorations are due to The Almighty God, who in his infinite mercies kept us all till this moment. It is your air we breathe, and in your mercies we thrive. The schedule, planning, conduct and supervision of this election won't have been possible without you being in charge. We are grateful.

Personally, I think it would also be right if I appreciate the Management of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, who were thoughtful enough to give a green light to the conduct of elections into various offices of the Student Union Government of our great institution.

I dare not underestimate the unrelenting efforts of the Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. I G Adanlawo and other members of the team that conducted and supervise the election. They had worked very hard and tirelessly to ensure the successful conduct of the election. I pray God Almighty reward you abundantly.

Temitope Awelewa and the EKSUSU PRESS Team were also very active in the successful planning and conduct of the election. We won't forget so soon how enlightening the Manifesto organized by EKSUSU PRESS was. History would remember you all for good. Keep it up!

The outcome of any election is quite simple and straightforward. Winners would emerge and so also losers. But the winners are not only the ones that emerged victorious and got elected, winners are all the stakeholders; Electoral Officers, Candidates and Voters that participated in any successful election. The losers are those who failed in their quest to destabilize the election. Yes! We all won!!!

To the candidates whose hope to represent us as Executive Members of the Student Union has been dashed, I ask you to remain calm and law abiding. Channel your aggressions to the Tribunal. Am very sure you would be given fair attention.

The voting system did what it was designed to do. It delivered a majority Government. It delivered government to those who were successful in convincing the majority of voters that they are the right representative EKSUSUG deserves.

I took some comfort from the fact that I observed the elections in the Faculties of Science and Education. I am clear in my opinion, that the election is credible, free and fair.

Congratulations to the candidates who emerged victorious at the polls. I ask you to deliver on your electioneering promises. That's the only way, history can remember you for good. I wish you good luck.

Kind regards,

South Korea becomes first East Asian Country to Legalize Medical Marijuana

South Korea has become the first east Asian country to legalise medical cannabis in a surprising move to expand the treatment options for patients with epilepsy and other rare diseases in the conservative country. The country’s national assembly approved amending the Act on the Management of Narcotic Drugs on Friday to allow non-hallucinogenic doses of medical marijuana. Still, using weed even for medical purpose will be strictly controlled with patients required to apply to the Korea Orphan Drug Centre, a government body facilitating patient access to rare medicines, after receiving a doctor’s prescription. Approval will be granted on a case-by-case basis, according to the country’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. South Korea has some of the toughest rules on cannabis consumption with citizens prosecuted for using weed in other countries where recreational marijuana is legalised. Under the country’s anti-drug laws, smoking and trading marijuana remains illegal with th...
