Dear Tunde,

I have been meaning to write to you for ages, and today I finally sat down with pen and paper because that holiday last summer keeps popping into my head. You remember how I was always going on about needing a real break from all the school stress? Well, this trip to Tarkwa Bay Beach was it, my most unforgettable holiday ever. Honestly, just thinking about the salty air and those endless waves makes me smile like a fool all over again.

I took a boat from the mainland, and right away, the world felt bigger and freer. The beach was paradise, soft golden sand that warmed your toes, water so blue and clear you could spot colorful fish swimming by. Unlike the packed spots in the city, it was peaceful, with just a handful of locals kicking a football around or tending to their nets. I splashed in the sea for hours that first day, letting the waves lift me up and down, my skin turning golden under the sun. I even gave body surfing a go and ended up face planting into the sand, sputtering and laughing so hard my sides hurt, best wipeout of my life!

Evenings were pure magic. We would light small fires on the shore, and the fishermen would join in, spinning tales of massive storms and sea spirits that guard the bay. This one elder, Pa Kola, showed me how to hack open a fresh coconut with his machete, my hands were trembling, but when that cool, sweet water gushed out, it was like drinking heaven itself. The food was next level too: spicy suya grilling over open flames, crispy plantain chips, and jollof rice with that perfect smoky kick from the beach fire. I would eat until I was stuffed, then lie back under a sky exploding with stars, the ocean’s rhythm lulling me to sleep. No signal, no deadlines, just that raw, alive feeling you cannot get anywhere else.

It was not all lazy days, though. I joined some local kids for volleyball, diving for the ball until the sun dipped low, our cheers echoing over the water. One sunset stuck with me forever, the sky turned fiery red and orange, bleeding into the sea, and I felt this ache in my chest, you know? Like beauty so intense it pinches. That is when it hit me: these trips are not just fun; they recharge your soul, make you see how much wonder is out there waiting. Back home, everything feels small and rushed by comparison.

Tunde, you have to experience Tarkwa Bay yourself, we would make epic memories together next time. What is the best holiday you have had? Tell me everything when you write back; I miss our chats. Looking forward to your letter.

Your friend always,
Chike

Report on the Persistent Power Shortage in Our Community

By Chike Okafor, SS3 Student

Power shortage has sadly become the norm in our school and surrounding areas, plunging us into darkness for most of the day and crippling daily activities. In 2025 alone, Nigeria’s national grid has collapsed multiple times, with recent incidents in September dropping generation from nearly 3,000MW to just 1.5MW in hours, leaving millions in blackout. Residents in many regions, including ours, endure only 5-6 hours of electricity daily, while power plants operate below 40% capacity amid stranded generation losses exceeding N2.3 trillion. This crisis hits students hardest, forcing us to study under kerosene lamps that strain our eyes and fill rooms with fumes, or charge phones at exorbitant rates from neighbors with generators.

The impacts ripple through every aspect of life, turning minor inconveniences into major hardships. Classrooms swelter without fans during hot afternoons, distracting us from lessons and causing heat exhaustion among younger pupils. Labs sit idle as equipment like microscopes and computers gather dust, widening the gap between theory and practice in subjects like physics and chemistry. Exam preparations suffer too; last term, many missed deadlines for online assignments due to outages, and night reading became a luxury. Businesses nearby close early, families cook with firewood that chokes the air, and hospitals report spoiled vaccines from fridge failures. Economically, genCos lost billions to unused power, stunting growth while 90 million Nigerians live without reliable supply, more than any other country. In our school, morale dips as teachers improvise lessons without projectors, and extracurriculars like computer club fizzle out.

Several factors fuel this endless cycle of blackouts, demanding urgent scrutiny. Aging infrastructure, with the grid suffering nearly 140 failures in a decade, buckles under rising demand from population growth. Gas shortages cripple thermal plants, vandalism targets transmission lines, and poor maintenance by distribution companies leads to frequent tripping. Corruption siphons funds meant for upgrades, while rural areas like parts near our school get overlooked despite 20,000 communities still in darkness. First quarter 2025 saw average generation at 4,770MW despite 5,366MW capacity, showing systemic inefficiencies.

Thankfully, practical solutions exist to brighten our future if acted upon decisively. Schools and communities should embrace solar panels; mini-grids powering hostels and labs could provide 24/7 supply, as seen in booming solar markets addressing outages. Government must prioritize grid rehabilitation, enforcing NERC penalties on underperforming Discos and fast-tracking 12,000MW from new deals. Incentives for household generators or inverters, coupled with public campaigns on energy conservation like LED bulbs and off-peak usage, would ease strain. Partnering with private firms for smart meters to curb theft, and investing in renewables like wind farms, offers long-term relief. Our school PTA could lead by installing solar boreholes, setting an example.

This power crisis dims Nigeria’s potential, but collective action promises light. Students urge authorities: fix the grid, fund renewables, and empower locals. A powered tomorrow starts with us demanding change today.

Against the Motion: “The world would be a better place if more women were in charge”

Honourable judges, esteemed audience, and fellow debaters, I stand to oppose the motion that the world would be a better place if more women were in charge.

First, leadership quality is not determined by gender. What truly makes a good leader are qualities such as integrity, competence, vision, discipline, and courage. These attributes are not exclusive to men or women; they are personal qualities that can be found in individuals regardless of gender. Therefore, suggesting that the world would automatically be better simply because more women are in charge overlooks the importance of individual merit.

Second, history has shown that leadership success or failure is not gender-based. We have seen highly effective women leaders, but we have also seen ineffective ones. The same applies to men. It is not accurate to assume that women will always lead better or that men automatically lead poorly. Leadership effectiveness depends on the circumstances, the individual, and their leadership style, not their gender.

Third, the motion risks promoting leadership based on gender rather than competence. If positions of authority are filled simply to achieve gender representation instead of selecting the most qualified individuals, it may lead to inefficiency. Good leadership must be based on capacity, experience, and merit, not an assumption that one gender is inherently superior.

Fourth, leadership requires both emotional intelligence and firmness, qualities found in both men and women. The world thrives on a balance of strengths. Instead of saying more women should be in charge, it is more productive to encourage equal opportunities for men and women to compete fairly and rise based on capability.

Finally, the belief that the world would be better with more women in charge overlooks the importance of cooperation between genders. Real progress comes from collaboration, not from elevating one gender over the other. A balanced leadership structure that combines diverse perspectives from both men and women is what truly strengthens governance and promotes development.

In conclusion, while women should absolutely be empowered and given equal opportunities to lead, claiming that the world would be better only if more women are in charge oversimplifies the complex nature of leadership. The world would be a better place when the best leaders regardless of gender are given the chance to serve.

Thank you.

In the quiet village of Umuofia, where red earth compounds stood encircled by thick mud walls and thatched roofs pierced the sky like proud spears, lived two skilled artisans: Obi the weaver and Eze the tailor. Umuofia bustled with the rhythm of daily life, women pounding yam in wooden mortars, children chasing goats through dusty paths, and elders gathering under the ancient iroko tree to share palm wine stories. Obi, with calloused hands and a calm spirit, wove cloth on his loom day after day. He selected the finest cotton threads from the market, dyed them slowly with indigo and crimson roots boiled over low fires, and wove strip by strip, ensuring each knot was tight and pattern flawless. “Haste unravels beauty,” he would say, smiling as neighbors hurried past.

Eze, young and brash, mocked Obi’s pace from his open shed. “Why crawl like a snail when you can fly like an eagle?” he boasted. With loans from traders, Eze bought bolts of imported fabric and a shiny new sewing machine, vowing to clothe the entire village before the New Yam Festival. He stitched furiously from dawn till dusk, skipping measurements for speed, using weak threads to finish faster. Garments flew off his bench, flowing wrappers, crisp shirts, but corners cut hasty. Rain came early that season; Eze’s machine rusted in the downpour, threads snapped under strain, and customers returned with torn clothes, demanding refunds he could not afford. Debts piled like storm clouds, forcing him to pawn his tools and beg scraps from passersby.

Seasons turned, and the festival arrived under a golden sun. Eze’s stall stood empty, his reputation in tatters. But Obi’s loom had birthed wonders: intricate asooke cloths shimmering with geometric motifs that told tales of ancestors, strong enough to withstand pulls and washes. Chiefs and brides flocked to him, paying premium prices; his shed overflowed with orders, and he hired apprentices to meet demand. Wealth flowed steadily, new mud extensions to his compound, goats bleating in fresh pens. Eze, humbled and threadbare, knelt before Obi one evening. “Teach me your secret, brother,” he pleaded, eyes downcast. Obi laid a gentle hand on his shoulder. “Not secret, but truth: slow and steady wins the race.”

From that day, Umuofia’s looms hummed longer than machines, and Eze became Obi’s steadfast apprentice, his fingers learning patience stitch by stitch. The village prospered in fine attire, proving once more that the tortoise outpaces the hare when wisdom guides the steps.
