I have always stood him out and pushed him forward as the greatest guitarist that ever lived based on his dexterity,manipulation and sheer understanding and communication with that instrument and then of course his guitar riff and music /sound that was way ahead of its time.Although my view and position were based on,and driven by "fanaticism" or if you like excitement at the unique sounds that trickled in light doses and at times in heavy doses into my ears growing up in a musically conscious environment and family but at last I have found vindication and confirmation for what  I thought deep inside me, was exuberance of an adult living off the memories of his youthful energy and perception-the highly respected Rolling Stones Magazine and their panelists of top guitarists and experts, actually selected him as No I in a compilation of 100 greatest guitarists ! Need I say more? I say no more....Jimi Hendrix is indeed the greatest..

Week 12 of the Premier League, a roller-coaster of emotions and swings

  The  Premier League... A ROLLER-COASTER OF EMOTIONS AND A SWINGING PENDULUM The above caption was deliberately coached to capture what transpired at the conclusion of the Week 12 fixtures of the Premier League. It has all the "ingredience and spices" that the Premiership have come to be assiciated with in their "broath and traditional cook-pot". It had drama, browl, surprises, shocks, excitement, pain, confusion, matching order, brazen and volt-face official calls and decisions. Man U had a hard fought redemption  win against hard working League minnows Luton Town. This was an encounter that all football faithfuls wanted to go the way of Manchester United to give the team a boost and to avoid the riot act from the fans and management of the club on Ten Hag the team's coach who is now walking on a thin line and thread. He seems to have a multitude of problems both on and off the field as he has been reportedly to have hurriedly gone back home to attend urgent m

ASUU...Breaking it down to its tiny bits

 Many are ignorant of what ACADEMIC WORK is all about. Academic work is not FACTORY WORK.  ASUU strike is not  a strike by Post-office workers, or strike by Textile workers. Yes,  during ASUU Strike, Lectures do not take place and  Students are not graduated.  But SERIOUS MANDATORY RESEARCH never stops.  CONTINUED EDUCATION of individual Academics for sharpening proficiency never stops.   GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT of Academic units with the GRID of International Academia never stops. The very day Mandatory  Research, Continued honing of skills and  Engagement with Global Academia stop   in a University  that is the day the University ceases to be a University.  The University is a totally different entity in the scheme of things. Its work, its modus operandi and its goals are unique in Society. You can't  treat a University as a Railway station, a Tricycle  manufacturing company or a  Cocoa processing factory. The average Academic does not work 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.  He or she works

From an Influencer's Lab,a strange but ingenious campaign

Image
 I find this incredibly interesting and creative,a most intriguing campaign and promotion for a product and a habit.This idea or approach is one of those that could have shot out from the blues,reminiscent or having the same effect of  lighting making in a flash, with an electric intensity,a domineering and dignified presence in the clouds but this time striking in the mind and head space of an individual or a team.Then again it could have been the product or outcome of weeks and hours of painstaking brain storm by one unassuming "genius-mind" or an assemblage of creative minds. Any which way,I see it as simply brilliant and ingenious, taking from the perceptive of the subtle pitching  or reliance on the subliminal  and "subliminality" of it all,rather than a direct  onslaught that stirs the consciousness.This was achieved in the comparisons made with beer and two other exalted,lovable,irresistible,grand and noble products that are found at the very top of the loyal
