THE ESSENCE OF FATHER’S DAY

By: Cosmas Abai

The importance of a father cannot be over emphasized. He is the superhero in a family. Fathers are always ready to take on everyday troubles from every member of the family. Just like a mother, a good father spends quality time with his family. And so, to honour such fathers and to celebrate the paternal bonding, a special day is observed every year as Father’s Day to commemorate their efforts and contributions in the society.
Father’s Day celebration dates back to the time of middle ages. The day was celebrated as the feast day of Saint Joseph, “the putative father of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Fathers’ Day is a day which celebrates fatherhood, paternal bonds and the efforts of male parents towards their family and the wider society.
No doubt, Fathers’ Day is an occasion to honour all the fatherly figures like stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles or even big brothers. Fathers are so important that Glory Naylor remarked: “Old as she was, she still missed her Daddy sometimes”. George Herbert also said that “one father is more than a hundred school masters”, while Liam Nelson said that “it is an ongoing joy being a Dad”. All these go to show the importance of a father in the family and entire society.
Fathers have great roles to play in building the nation. Through fathers, children have access to a vast network including, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends of the family, work, colleagues, community organizations, faith communities and even personal histories.
Fathers plan the future of their children which, in turn, affects the moral, physical, psychological, social, political, religious and developmental tone of the nation. For instance, a morally-bound family begets children who are well nurtured to conform to the dictates of the society. Such children, later in life, become the conscience of the nation and living examples to their peer groups.

ASUU STRIKE: LABOUR BEGINS PROTEST TODAY.

The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed its preparedness to commence a three-day warning strike from Thursday, which would be immediately after their 2-day nationwide protest that begins today.

The NLC has also warned that it might make the proposed three-day warning strike indefinite if federal government fails to resolve its protracted industrial dispute with public university workers that downed tools over five months ago.

NLC President, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, stated this while speaking to journalists at the ongoing 18th NLC Rain School in in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

According to him, the labour movement has mobilised workers across country for a nationwide protest in all the 36 states of the federation and Abuja, that commences today.

The protest is to compel the federal government to resolve all lingering issues to re-open public universities for academic activities.

Similarly, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has urged the Federal Government to honour the agreement it voluntarily entered with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU for the union to call of its strike.

Governor Ortom made the appeal today, Tuesday, July 26th, 2022 while addressing members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC Benue State Chapter who have embarked on a two-day sympathy protest in support of ASUU.

The Governor who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Tony Ijohor said it was unacceptable the inability of the Federal Government to resolve her issues with ASUU resulting in students staying at home for more than five months.

The Governor said the Benue State Government was in full support of the sympathy protest by the NLC as well as other actions it intends to embark upon and promised to take their grievances to appropriate quarters.

The Governor disclosed that his Government would sit with the Joint Action Committee of NASU AND SSANU of the Benue State University within the shortest possible time with a view to negotiating and solving their issues.

Earlier, it was reported that the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Benue, Comrade Godwin Anya said the union has decided to take over the issue between ASUU and the Federal Government because of the insensitivity on the part of the Federal Government.

Comrade Anya who read a letter from the National President of the union demanded immediate payment of withheld salaries owed members of ASUU, accept the proposed payment system by ASUU as well as settle all other issues raised by the union.

*A boy was imprisoned for stealing. His father was asked to pay 8,000,000 CFA to free his son. The father sold all his cows to pay this money. On their way back home, the father said to his son, May I never see you steal again, otherwise I will burn your hands. Look, because of you we have become poor again. The son replied with a smile, don't worry, dad. The money you paid, here is it, I stole it from the desk drawer before going out.*

*QUESTIONS:*

If you are the father of this child, what will you do?
1 . Punish him ?
2 . Bring him back to jail?
3 . Congratulate him?
4. Return the money?

Honestly say what you are going to do.

WORLD RADIO DAY; RADIO AND TRUST
By: Cosmas Abai

Radio is a powerful medium for celebrating humanity in all its diversity and constitutes a platform for democratic discourse. At the global level, radio remains the most widely consumed medium. This unique ability to reach out the widest audience means radio can shape a society’s experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard. Radio stations should serve diverse communities, offering a wide variety of programs, viewpoints and content, and reflect the diversity of audiences in their organizations and operations.

Radio continues to be one of the most trusted and used media in the world, according to different international reports. The theme of the 2022 edition of World Radio Day is thus devoted to "Radio and Trust".

Building on more than a century of history, radio remains one of the most trusted and widely used media. Throughout the years, radio has provided affordable access to information in real time and professional coverage about matters of public interest, as well as guaranteed distance learning and entertainment. Bridging the gap between traditional and state-of-the art technologies, radio now offers a variety of content through different devices and formats, such as podcasts and multimedia websites.

Recent world events and the COVID-19 pandemic have eroded trust in the media in general, fuelled by the circulation of false content rapidly spreading on social media. But while studies reveal a global decline in trust in the internet and social networks, they show a rise in overall trust in the news. And many citizens still have greater confidence in radio than in other media.

Digital access to information is far from being equal, with huge differences remaining between regions and between communities. In comparison, radio remains affordable and can be listened to everywhere, even when electricity or connectivity are not reliable. It is also diverse and inclusive. Community radio, for instance, reaches out to those under-represented in the mainstream and social media, who may feel better understood and fairly portrayed and consequently trust their local station.

On the occasion of World Radio Day 2022, I call on radio stations to celebrate the Day through three sub-themes:

1. Trust in radio journalism: Produce independent and high-quality content.

2. Trust and accessibility: Take care of your audience.

3. Trust and viability of radio stations: Ensure competitiveness.

Together let's celebrate the 11th edition of World Radio Day .
