Is Technology Bringing People Together or Pulling Them Apart?

 Is Technology Bringing People Together or Pulling Them Apart? Technology has changed the way we live, learn, and communicate. With just a smartphone and an internet connection, we can talk to friends across the world, attend online classes, and access information within seconds. But while technology has made life more convenient, it also raises an important question: Is it bringing people together or pulling them apart? On one hand, technology has made communication easier than ever. Families separated by distance can stay connected through video calls, students can collaborate on projects online, and social media allows people to share ideas and experiences across different cultures. In many ways, technology has made the world feel smaller. On the other hand, I believe that technology can also create distance when it is not used wisely. It is common to see people sitting together but paying more attention to their phones than to each other. Instead of having m...

Fashion Tips

Looking Good Starts with Confidence Fashion is more than wearing expensive clothes or following every trend. It is about expressing your personality, feeling confident, and presenting yourself in the best possible way. Whether you're heading to class, work, or an event, these simple fashion tips can help you elevate your style. Dress for the Occasion Always consider where you are going before choosing an outfit.

Freshers' Package Delay — VP Issues Fresh Apology as July 15 Becomes New Date It has been over two months since the Department of International Relations held its Freshers' Party on April 24th, and the 100-level students who paid ₦17,000 each are still waiting for their Freshers' package. Yesterday,30th of June, the Vice President broke the silence but not with the news Freshers were hoping for. In a message addressed directly to the Freshers, the VP apologised for the delay and revealed that the printer responsible for producing the books included in the package has been unavailable, making it impossible to meet the July 1st delivery date that had earlier been communicated. The new date is now July 15th. This is not the first time the delivery has been pushed. The package was earlier promised at the congress last Friday, only for items to begin trickling into the secretariat without a clear handover date. July 1st then became the working target and that too has...

The New Scramble for Africa: Why Critical Minerals Matter More Than Ever

Image
The New Scramble for Africa: Why Critical Minerals Matter More Than Ever In 1884, European powers sat in Berlin to divide Africa for it's land and oil. Today, a new "scramble" is happening, but the Prize for it has changed. Instead of oil, superpowers are fighting over critical minerals like cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. These are the resources needed to build electric vehicles, smartphones, Al, and advanced weapons. The politics for this century is simple: oil shaped the politics of the 20th Century, but these minerals are shaping the 21st century. And once again, Africa is at the center of this race. For a long time, the West treated like a giant supermarket where they just packed raw materials and left. But African countries are finally changing the rules of the game using "resource nationaliom". For example, the DR Congo produces over 70% of the world's cobalt. Through their regulator (ARECOMS) they have put strict limits on expor...

IRSA Follow-Up Report  Post Congress Update The State of Association — Still Missing It has now been over 48 hours since the General IRSA Congress ended, and the updated State of Association that President Akinpelu Samuel promised to deliver before the congress closed is yet to surface on any official platform. DSNA reached out to the General Secretary today at the Embassy for answers. Her response was telling ; the concerned executives are yet to send her any report, which is why she hasn't been able to share anything. In other words, the bottleneck isn't the General Secretary. The ball is squarely in the court of the executives who were tasked with updating their respective sections. The congress demanded this. The President acknowledged it publicly. Over 48 hours later, the silence continues. Good News : Freshers' Package Is on Its Way   On a brighter note, there is finally movement on the long-awaited Freshers' package. Items have begun arriving at the s...
