Dear All (Ladies and Gents),
The amount of discussions and preparations regarding performance improvement in
WW is getting impressive. The exchange can only be described as collosal. Jesca
B has some quite interesting points below. To me it sounds like the quest to
move faster. Bingo. SJOCO has been on motion before. The positive responses
from the suggested task force especially led by Father Ruf could be on motion
already. Members I believe Jesca's bullet points 1 and 3 can easily be set on
motion faster like SJOCO is going to. Relatively easier activities start for
the benefit of Candidate classes. And then bullets 3 and 4 equally need to
start atleast for the benefit of such schools like Maracha SS whose students
may be at home now. Jesca, the time "before end of year" may not be be right. I
would rather say "BEFORE MID OF YEAR 2009".
Disco's, Vedio and Waragi - Titus, don't ban or even suggest banning of
anything, for you and I still love UG Waragi. What happens if we have to visit
Alikua in August and get the thirst to sit with one or 2 PTA members. Plus our
people do not understand the word ban and it's enforcement. It gets mis-used
with so much force that loss of life and property always occur like the one you
just stated in Alikua and now the Koboko style of events. The plan has to get
grand on this matter. If we can get simpler ways of getting communities
involved in agreeing how to regulate teacher and pupil behaviour. Get them
understand the benefit of setting education as priority for their Children, i
believe it will be alright. I am not the best in suggesting how easily this can
be done. But Jesca's bullet points point at avenues to reach a wide range.

To: westnilenet@kym.net
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

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...
Patrick Okuni

RObetia,
You have just given them the answers and if I was one of those there on 21st
March 2009, I would now be a star because this website is widely shared.
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.

Jambo Alaka,
Sorry i have been out of touch and travelling. With 123 unread inbox material.
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.
Best regards,
RObetia

Subject: [WestNileNet] St Josephs day 21/03/2009
Colleagues, when I got a personal invitation from the Chairman SJCOBA , the
Erudite Eng. 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.

It's easy! Try it!
