BATISHE Cleanup Nigeria

 It is no news that Nigeria is one of the most blessed countries in the world. With a population of over 200 million people, an almost endless oil supply, over 40 natural mineral resources, and many more, Nigeria stands head and shoulders above many.

 

Due to its huge landmass, Nigeria has many tourist attractions among which include beaches. Figures put the number of beaches across Nigeria at 90 or even more. Lagos alone is home to over 30 beaches. Sadly, over half of them are dirty.

To the average Nigerian, 12th, November 2022 was probably business as usual but to the BAT cleanup group, it was a day to keep the shorelines of Elegushi beach clean.

 

With more than 900 million trips to coastal regions annually, beaches rank among the top vacation spots in the nation. As tourists spend a lot of money on these coastal vacations, our seas offer more than just leisure.

This revenue is at risk due to contaminated water. Beaches that have been trashed are no longer useful to those who had intended to visit and swim there; this has an effect on the local economies through lost revenue and the employment that is supported.

 

The BAT cleanup team after successfully cleaning up Elegushi with support from the Elegushi royal family will be taking this initiative to 8 other states across the country. Over 17000 personnel will be deployed and food, merchandize, and sensitization will also be provided at every beach visit. This is a laudable attempt and hopefully, more initiatives like this will start to take form across Nigeria.

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

  THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY     In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today.   In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity.   Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...

How to Travel Abroad

  Traveling abroad can be a strikingly simple endeavor when you're prepared. Do your research and study the destination; plan your itinerary and arrange the logistics; and pack for the weather, culture, and activities that you expect. Read on for more specific tips on successfully traveling abroad. Researching a Destination Get a good guidebook.  Fodor's, Rick Steves, and the Michelin guides are all excellent places to start. Make sure you have the most up-to-date guide book for the area of the world you intend to visit. Some are updated every year. Others are updated every other year, or every few years. A good guidebook is a $15-20 investment that can save a lot of headache. Don't be afraid to rip it up and staple together only the pieces you need. A well-kept guidebook might make a nice souvenir, but it may not be worth the extra weight of carrying around information that you don't need. Travel blogs, photos, and recommendations that you can find online can also be h...

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...
