He that fights and runs away lives to fight another day!” is an ancient proverb that conveys a profound message. Paraphrasing this, one can say that ‘not all fights must be won at once’.

They include explosive increase in the purchase of official cars, frequent unnecessary trips by top management of universities many of whom are senior academics, huge allowances and gifts for members of university councils, lavish convocation ceremonies, overpriced contracts awarded to relatives, friends and cronies of VIPs in various campuses most of which are poorly executed, and so on.

Nduka Ugbade is a legend in world football. As a starry-eyed youth, he led a group of unsung Nigerians to lift the first FIFA JVC U-16 World Championship in 1985 in China.
