Dear Colleques, I wish to appreciate all the efforts and ideas shared and to this I will endevour to add my voice. Iam in no position to estimate the number of candidates in primary and secondary , all over West Nile,who will be sitting for their exams this year.Some of the survey and research processes will probabaly take some time to conclude , be analysed and used to design strategies/approaches. I want to believe that if this trend of poor performance continues, we shall be experincing a near future, 5-15 year period with no persons from the region in key decision making positions in this country. We can all guess what that would mean for the development of West Nile.
Based on the performance issues already highlighted by various contributers, What is it that we can do for the canditates who have only two terms to make a difference? Iam glad Ombachi has St Josephs day, a great opportunity to reach, students, parents, teachers and all the other stakeholders.Some wild suggestions for consideration: * At lease one visit to each school before the end of year by role models and some key figures * Utilizing School special days e.g St Joseph's day * PTA meetings, as an opportunity to discuss performance * Places of worship, need to continously remind all parents, students, etc of their obligations and the importance of an educated generation * Events: * Special programs: e.g radio talk show, dedicated with all stakeholders taking part to discuss the issues. * etc This will call for sacrifice and voluntarism Thanks Jesca Bako Anguyo ________________________________ From: Patrick Okuni <paok...@yahoo.com> To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <westnilenet@kym.net> Cc: Johnson Adomati <jadmarketing...@yahoo.com>; Godfrey Mundua <godf...@techno-associates.co.ug>; Michael Moni <michaelmon...@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 12:24:33 PM Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] St Josephs day 21/03/2009 Dear Colleagues Nice to note that the discussion has started well in advance. Sure, there will be further discussion and lots more at the Reunion on 21/03 at Ombaci. But it all begins tomorrow at the Kampala do. You are all welcome to join us at Kati Kati Restaurant starting 5:00pm - your invitation is attached herewith. Let us begin the face-to-face engagement to address the critical issue at hand - academic performance in our region. See you there! Best...

Remember to use a secure line to help Alaka with quiz for OBs. Alaka has no capacity to ask anyother questions apart from the ones you have posed. I bet his chemistry is too aged and 20 years down the road is a long period my friends. Thanks otherwise for coming back safely from your travels. You must be drinking blood now if your mythical story of the last time has occurred. Ejiku.

Alaka, that should be your question posed in Ombaci where you have been invited by Patrick O. But just in case you need what to expect - look for the words "hydrocarbon". Paraffin (Lighter) and Diesel (denser than) are both hydrocarbons characterised by the general formular CnH2n+2. Though there is now Biodiesel with probably an "O" somewhere. So you used to have mixture but no resulting rxn. So no new formular men or perhaps the formular is "paraffin and diesel" in layman's. So prove that the OBs do remember this and make no mistake - they will get challenged by your aging brain capacity. If i may recall, the common hydrocarbon fuels we have range from n=6 to n=12. Good quiz for OBs day and let's get on with the role model easier and any time that you get West Nile. Make sure you reach Arua Demonstration P.7 School (atleast arrange on morning parade time) to cheer them up. Take Care - i hope you won't make pupils /students feel that is the mixture which produces an LLB degree. Otherwise the dangers of pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), Sulpur Oxides etc are known to affect the brain negatively. Its clear Jungle in the day and sleep in the night except if you are a transparent Majueng.

Okuni for the Oscars and more so when he graciously offered me a special guest status, I felt humbled and appreciative. I even suggested to get time to be in Arua for St Josephs day on the 21/03/2009. God willing I will be there. The point is probably non of our followers and younger ones in all the West Nile schools imagine that some of us went through the same institutions as they are now in. Over the weekend I wanted Eng. Obetia to explain to me the Chemical formula of mixing paraffin with diesel in a hurricane lamp. Eng. what is such a mixture referred to. Well this is what we used during our times. I remember we had no Electricity, bore holes e.t.c in Mvara but we did produce the Adibo's, Acidri's Ejiku's, Ayibo's, Dr. Richard, Dr. Aritua, Alia Valary's, Eng.Ezati's, Jimmy Adriko's, Stevo's, several medical doctors, educationists, the Alaka's e.t.c. Probably the current Ombaci students may not even know that the Andema's, butagira's Draecabo's, Andua Drani's ,Okuni's , Obetia's, Ezaga's, Ngaka's, Idoru's, Matenga's, Eyoki's, Ori's and Azabo's and other notable Ob's were at one time like them. When Azabo talks of self belief, I believe this should be one of the first prescriptions we should administer on these students. Let them know that we were just like them and the difference is that we believed as Obama did that yes we could and they should get the same mentality. Hope all SJOBA members and well-wishers should turn up en mass. This is How SMACK o.B's Psyche up the students. next time a list of who is who amongst all Ob's and og's should be compiled and sent to these schools to Psyche these souls up. ________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
