The first secondary school that offered me admission was a teachers’ college. I hated it immediately and wanted to be removed from the school. My father wanted reasons. I told him the school wasn’t challenging enough and that I could only be a teacher after graduation. My dad reminded me that I chose the school myself and reasoned with me that if I was patient and finish my secondary education there, he would support me to go for tertiary studies anywhere I wanted. I wasn’t consoled; so eventually, I was transferred to a government secondary school, which I loved and enjoyed.

When on October 10, 2012, President Goodluck Jonathan presented the 2013 budget proposal to the joint session of the National Assembly (NASS), Nigerians had thought that we have moved from the era, where the passage and signing of annual budgets were being delayed due to late presentation by the Presidency.

Today, I hope to tie-up my piece on convoy driving. Last week, I concluded by stating that the success of a convoy depends on two things-the driver of the lead vehicle knowing where he is going and the driver of each car staying without fail, with the car behind; not the car in front. Before I dwell deeply on the focus for today, Let me equally state here that even where this two vital conditions prevail, a third and determining variable within the context of the present discourse in our clime depends solely on the principal or what can be referred to as the VIP. The examples of the VIPs cited last week shows that the decency or otherwise of a convoy is directly related to the attitude of the Principal, meaning that no matter the anxiety of the convoy drivers to disregard laid down rules, the disposition of the Principal finally counts.
