EDUCATION AND THE THREATS TO NIGERIA’S INTERNAL SECURITY
By The Honourable Minister of Interior of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Lieutenant General (Rtd) Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau CFR PhD at the 2016 Annual Lecture of Barewa Old Boys Association on 8th October, 2016 in Abuja, Nigeria.
INTRODUCTION
1.It gives me great pleasure to address my childhood constituency, the Barewa Old Boys Association. It is a singular honour indeed to be invited to deliver the 2016 Annual Lecture. This lecture is long rooted in a tradition within which many eminent alumni of Nigeria’s greatest secondary school have addressed this Association earlier. Indeed, I come here with a sense of humility for the honour accorded my modest accomplishments in the Army, my contributions to academics both during my military service and after retirement, and now in the public service, where I am serving as the Minister of Interior, a trust given to me by His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria. As a product of the prestigious Balewa Collage, I am privileged to be counted as one of the ubiquitous ambassadors of the College under the aegis of Barewa Old Boys Association.

We Must Stop Fooling Ourselves From Nollywood To Kannywood
We Must Stop Fooling Ourselves From Nollywood To Kannywood
Is it not an international embarrassment that there is no single film commission in Nigeria? Not a single film treaty with any country. And the so called stakeholders in the Nollywood and Kannywood are quick to brag about being the second largest producer of movies in the world, making 1000 movies every year; they must have included home videos of their "Owambe" parties, birthdays and weddings.

President Muhammadu Buhari and the Raised Fist Salute
Why does President Muhammadu Buhari like the clenched raised fist salute?
It is like his political symbol which he used during his presidential campaign for the 2015 presidential election and he used it again at his swearing in ceremony on May 29, 2015.

Automotive Lubricants Market in Nigeria and South Africa Receives A Boost
Automotive Lubricants Market in Nigeria and South Africa Receives A Boost
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nigeria and South Africa rely heavily on imported raw materials for automotive lubricants. However, the volatility of oil prices and the devaluating currencies in both countries is set to provide a huge boost to the local production of automotive lubricants. A combined market of $2.14 billion is driven mainly by the demand for engine oils, but there has been a perceptible rise in end-user demand for other lubricants like transmission oil, gear oil and coolants.

81% Of Young Italians Live With Their Parents
~ By Niall McCarthy, Oct 26, 2016.
In many countries around the world, a huge proportion of young people still live at home with their parents. According to an OECD report, that trend is most pronounced in countries badly hit by the global financial crisis, particularly in Italy, Greece and Spain. 8 out of every 10 Italians aged between 15 and 29 still lived at home with their parents in 2014. In Scandinavia, youth living at home is a rarer phenomenon. In 2014, only 35 percent of young Swedish people still lived with their parents.
