I am Isedowo Oluwatosin Temijuayolo...
AB DANIELS: Thank you, Oluwatosin
DSNA: Alright Daniels. You are welcome once again! We would like you to introduce yourself and all that encompasses you
AB DANIELS: I'm Abraham Iwuh, a 3rd year student of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University.
I'm a Christian, and a art lover. I'm a designer, strategist, and International Affairs analyst. More will be known as the interview continues. 😁
DSNA: Awesome! Do you mind telling us if IWUH is your surname or your name, what it stands for and what ethnicity are you from?
AB DANIELS: My name is Abraham Iwuh, Abraham is my name and IWUH is my surname...it's an igbo name and it means *law*
DSNA: Fantastic! You said you are an Art lover, do you mind telling us your journey as an Art lover and do you mind telling us how well you have been able to use art to your advantage.
AB DANIELS: As regards art, art is life, art is involved in so many aspects of life. My art journey probably began with drawings when I was younger, then copying my brother's drawings or trying to out do this drawings. Along the line there was the inclusion of writing; poems. There's also my flair for photography, the sky and now, digital design, and how do I utilise art, I write. I'm a content writer. I also draw, though I don't take it as serious. And I'm on the pathway of learning something in the line of digital art
So, for me, ART is a whole lot of things...Art is Life.
DSNA: Okay. Do you mind taking us on a journey of your experience as a child in relations to Art.
AB DANIELS: Okay, I probably draw a bird that had about four legs when I was younger 😅, so that's like a standout memory. But in terms of journey, it simply came from the appreciation of the little things, I look up into the sky and I see art. Or looking at the moon and just leaving amazed.
I remember drawing a skeleton in junior secondary school, for biology class and different people appraised it. Then, I did art in JSS, calligraphy, drawing, never totally got into painting tho.
So the journey is simply the appreciation of art and embracing the beauty of art. Watching anime/cartoon when I was in secondary school then with my elder brother, we did draw anime characters. I drew a lot of Naruto characters mehn😂
So there was drawing, art class, literature, poetry, graphics, photography...
DSNA: Fantastic! Would you like to give us a brief history of your family and school background.
AB DANIELS: Alright, I'm from a nuclear family of six, four children, of which I'm the fourth.
I attended several nursery/ primary schools, about 3 I think. I attended Immaculate Heart Junior Comprehensive High School, Maryland Lagos. Furthered into the Senior Secondary of the same. And here I'm in OAU for now😅
DSNA: Impressive! Can you give us a brief idea of how you've been able to combine schooling and your love for art.
AB DANIELS: Being in OAU hasn't been about art. It has been less art and more engagement in other activities. But I do remember taking pictures while going for mountaineering or at the sight of a beautiful sunset or scenery.
DSNA: Alright. So how has your experience been as an International Relations Student and generally as an OAU Student?
AB DANIELS: It's been enlightening, different, fun, stressful initially. International Relations has been 😂 busy, wide, broad, among other things
In general, I've met great people on this campus, still meeting wonderful individuals... participated in some impactful events/ activities...and definitely made friends.
So it's been a fun, learning, adaptive, growing adventure.
DSNA: Okay. As a scholar of International Relations, looking at the world today and how they strive to maintain peace and security, we would like to know your point of view about the present unrest in Afghanistan and what lessons do you think Nigeria as a country should learn from ?.
AB DANIELS: The International system remains a place of self-interest, which is what the ongoing Taliban issue in Afghanistan has reinstated.
States are essentially self-interested. The US had major interest in Afghanistan so had strong military presence there. Now the US interest was to get their solders back home, so they pulled out from Afghanistan
and the Taliban took over. In regard to diplomacy, there are ongoing and we will continue to witness several diplomatic relations with the Taliban for the safety of the Afghan people and between states to decide on the recognition or otherwise of the Taliban-led Afghan government.
What lesson can Nigeria learn?
Nigeria should remember and learn that the international arena is one of self-interest. Therefore, any foreign assistance only comes based on the interest of such assisting state. To this end, despite foreign aid and assistance, Nigeria should build up itself to be strong enough to protect and preserve the lives of its people, as this is one of the essentials of a state, based on the Social Contract Theory.
DSNA: Wow! How well can you describe your relationship with every constituency in the department.
AB DANIELS: Oh, I would say I have a fair relationship with every constituency. The current 400L student of the department are the only ones I met initially who are still around, so I've a good relationship with various 400L students.
I've a somewhat active relationship with my class.
I'm familiar with 200L students, and a good number of them are familiar with me, although that took a while.
Now, 100L that's the constituency I've the least communication with. But lately, that seems to be improving and some of them know me.
So, I've a pretty fair relationship with all constituencies in the department, although not very loud.
DSNA: Thank you very much. So is there any motivation quote that keeps you going?
AB DANIELS: "Art is Life" would probably be one 😅
Also, be the best you can be, never settle for less. Do not manage, do not be mediocre, be Excellent.
"A Smile can change the World" (I love to smile)
Lastly, Love your neighbour as yourself.
DSNA: Okay! AB DANIELS, earlier you mentioned you love art and you have a lot of art design you have done, would perhaps showcase any of your art designs you have done?
AB DANIELS: 
DSNA: So finally Daniels do you perhaps have anything to say or importantly a shout-out message or messages?
AB DANIELS: Shout Out😅
Shout out to Super Power for pulling this through and for the constant push.
Shout Out to the entire Class of............... that's my class.
Big Shout Out to the "Serious minded students"
To everyone in the department, to 100L students, y' all are in for a wide, fun, annoying, enlightening ride.
400L students, y' all are amazing, Azeezat, Madam President (Xan), Dami, Tee Xtra, Adetomiwa, and so many more. Thanks for your help and y'all are going to do great things.
