NUC vs SURCON saga; How it currently affects Surveying students in FUTA

Here's the reality nobody's telling FUTA Surveying and Geoinformatics students: your certificate is useless as far as SURCON is concerned. Doesn't matter your grades, your connections or whoever your daddy is. Even those that graduated last year are not exempted. There's no way forward for any of you to progress in the profession as far as the standoff between the two elephants continue.

NUC and SURCON have been at war since May 2025, when NUC issued a circular stripping SURCON of its right to accredit surveying programmes — despite SURCON being a body created by an Act of the National Assembly, with a legal mandate to determine who gets to practice as a surveyor in this country. No consultation. No transition plan. No thought for the thousands of students who already are deep into the five-year programme built entirely around one outcome: graduate, register with SURCON, practice as a Surveyor.

SURCON has asked for dialogue. More than once. NIS has publicly said this exclusion is unlawful, that a circular cannot override an Act of Parliament. NUC's response? Silence. No timeline, no engagement, nothing.

And it’s not just FUTA. Every university offering Surveying and Geoinformatics is heading straight for the same wall — and most of their students have no idea it’s coming.

These are young people who followed the rules. Families who made heavy sacrifices for what was sold to them as a “guaranteed” profession. Yet today, their entire future is trapped between two regulatory agencies that refuse to sit down and resolve the conflict.

Two elephants fighting. Grass suffering. Someone needs to force this conversation before another set of graduates walks out with a certificate that opens no doors or we may be forced to walk the path of the rhino

OPEN LETTER TO NUC @OfficialNUC

Dear whosoever is in charge,

We are writing as graduates of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, few of thousands whose future you are currently holding in silence.

You issued a directive stopping professional bodies from accrediting the programs that trained us. Fair enough — you have your reasons, and streamlining a crowded system is not, by itself, a crime. But seems you don't fully know what the law says. SURCON did not fight you on that. SURCON came to you with an outstretched hand. It already has a working partnership with NBTE for the polytechnics. It offered you the same model for the universities. And by every account we have, that offer has been met with nothing. No meeting. No letter. No "not now, but soon." Just silence.

Silence is not neutral. Silence has a cost, and we are the ones paying it.

Every day this goes unanswered is a day a surveying graduate cannot be sure their degree carries the weight it should. It is a day SURCON cannot verify that we are ready for the profession we trained for. It is a day the surveying community — a community with its own Act of the National Assembly, its own statutory right to vouch for its own people — is treated as an afterthought in a system it helped build.

We are not asking you to surrender your authority. We are asking you to pick up the phone.

SURCON has shown it knows how to collaborate. It has a template. It has the will. What it does not have is a response. Every semester this drags on, another cohort graduates into that same uncertainty — trained, capable, and unheard.

But it seems you like you like the walls of the courts. We universities are collaborating to talk legally should things drag more and fortunately for you, you'll be hearing from us from the press very soon

You have the power to end this with a meeting. We are asking you to use it.

OPEN LETTER TO NIS, YSN

Dear Mr Chairman,

Why have you refused to address us, members of your own association?

We are aspiring surveyors. We are graduates. We are the people this Institution exists to represent, and for months we have watched a crisis unfold over our accreditation, our future, our right to practice the profession we trained for — and we have heard nothing from you. Not a statement. Not a town hall. Not a letter to the schools. Nothing.

This is not a small matter happening somewhere far from us. NUC has shut professional bodies out of accreditation. SURCON is fighting to be heard. Where is the voice that is supposed to stand between us and a system that is deciding our fate without us in the room? Where is the voice that is supposed to encourage us and keep us from not losing faith during this tough times

We did not join this Institution to be spoken about. We joined to be spoken for.

Every day of silence tells us something we do not want to believe — that our concerns are not urgent to the people meant to carry them. Students watch this. New graduates watch this. And what they see is a leadership that has gone where we don't know exactly when its members needed it most.

We are not asking for miracles. We are asking for what any member is owed: to know what their Institution is doing on their behalf, to be told the truth about where things stand, to be trusted with information instead of left to guess.

Mr Chairman, your members are asking a simple question, and we deserve a simple answer.

Address us.

I learnt about this in my Business analytics degree and I’m going to break it down for you.

Temu isn’t shipping your order from a factory in Shenzhen the moment you tap “buy.” They moved away from that model a while back. What they run now is a demand forecasting operation: they collect order data by region, figure out which products people in, say, Yaba or Lekki keep buying, then ship bulk quantities of those products to fulfilment warehouses already inside the UK or US. Your order never left the country. It was already sitting in a warehouse 40 miles from you before you even opened the app.

This is standard supply chain logic. Amazon has been doing it for years. What makes Temu interesting is how aggressively they’re applying it at scale. They’re working backwards from purchase history, search behaviour, and even abandoned carts to predict what needs to be stocked where, weeks before the demand actually lands. By the time you order a #5000 phone stand at 11pm on a Saturday, there’s a reasonable chance 200 of those phone stands are already in a depot near you because the data said they would move in your postcode cluster this weekend.

It’s called inventory pre-positioning, and the predictive layer underneath it is machine learning working on millions of rows of transaction data daily.

The “made in China” framing still applies to where the product was manufactured. That part’s accurate. But manufacturing and fulfilment are two completely separate steps, and people keep conflating them.

What Temu figured out is that fast delivery is a conversion driver, so they invested in the forecasting infrastructure to make it possible without eating the cost of next-day air freight on every order. The warehouse does the work. The algorithm fills the warehouse.

I’m @jalaal_tweets, you’ll learn more about Data and Ai fluency if you follow me.

I applied for a job I had absolutely no business applying for.
The posting asked for:
• 10+ years of experience
• Leadership background
• Certifications I’d never even heard of
I had three years.
And a lot of audacity.
I applied anyway.
The rejection email arrived the next morning.
“After careful consideration, we’ve decided to move forward with candidates whose experience more closely matches the role.”
That should have been the end of it.
Instead, I sent one more email.
I thanked the recruiter for reviewing my application.
Told her I genuinely admired the company.
And asked:
“What skills would I need to develop to become a serious candidate for a role like this in the future?”
I wasn’t asking for a second chance.
I was asking for direction.
She replied within an hour.
“Would you be available for a quick call tomorrow?”
That call lasted 20 minutes.
At the end, she said:
“We have another position that hasn’t been posted publicly. It’s a much better fit.”
Two interviews later, they offered me the job.
Better pay.
A clear growth path.
And a company I thought would never look twice at me.
Sometimes the opportunity isn’t in the application.
It’s in the follow-up.

BUILDING STRONG CHILDREN,WHAT TO DO AT EVERY STAGE:

1. 0–1 year: skin-to-skin contact builds trust and brain wiring
2. 1–2 years: let them explore freely — crawling and touching builds intelligence
3. 2–3 years: read aloud daily — language at this stage shapes everything
4. 3–5 years: imaginative play develops empathy and creativity together
5. 5–7 years: teach them to lose gracefully — resilience starts here
6. 7–9 years: give them small responsibilities — confidence grows from contribution
7. 9–11 years: encourage a hobby they chose themselves — not one you chose for them
8. 11–13 years: teach emotional vocabulary before puberty hits
9. 13–15 years: listen more than you speak — this age needs witnesses not lectures
10. 15–17 years: involve them in real decisions — they rise to what you trust them with
11. 17–18 years: teach them how to fail and recover, not just how to succeed
12. All ages: eat together — the family table is the original classroom
13. All ages: model the behaviour you want — they watch everything you do
14. All ages: say sorry when you are wrong — it teaches more than any lesson
15. All ages: tell them who they are, not just what they did

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Today, I was visiting with a brother. This friend calls himself a Christian, but doesn't always act like it. Some days he’s on fire for the Lord, and other days life's struggles seem to get the best of him. So, as our eyes met, I really wanted to say something about it to him, but decided to just let the Lord speak to his heart, knowing nothing I could say would ever have the impact that the Lord making Himself real in his heart would make.
So I prayed with him. And after some time passed, I winked at him...
and walked away from the mirror…

Do it my dear. I did same and all I can say is, do it. You'll love it. No matter how much you can cook, go to that culinary school and get that knowledge. You'll love it. After that, go for self makeup training too. Whenever the need arise, do your casual makeup yourself and go out with your man. I wish you the best.

so my private doctor revealed a shocking truth to me today after his 38 years of medical practice...

(i had to journal the conversation)

he said, if most people paused sugar for just one month, clinics would empty faster than any new drug ever could... that inflammation feeds on sweetness

and that if sunlight and proper vitamin d intake were treated like essentials, not supplements... fatigue, weak immunity and low mood would lose their grip on millions.

if brains and joints were fed omega-3s consistently, chronic pain and silent inflammation wouldn’t be normal aging.

if magnesium were respected as a daily mineral, not an afterthought... migraines, cramps, anxiety and poor sleep would quietly retreat.

and if digestion were restored instead of suppressed, half of the medications in our cabinets would become unnecessary.

then if people drank enough water with intention and replaced lost electrolytes... dizziness, headaches and brain fog would rarely make it to the doctor’s office... and if real protein and whole solid foods are prioritized in meals, then blood sugar issues and constant hunger would stop running lives.

and if circadian rhythm and sleep was protected like medicine, hormones would stabilize without prescriptions and that if bodies moved daily gently but consistently.. pain would age slower than people.

and as he concluded: he said, most sickness isn’t sudden, it’s cumulative neglect and that doctors treat the consequences but our habits decide the outcome.

i thought about it deeply and decided to journal... cos i know that he was practically telling me my ailments indirectly and what i should prioritize

bookmark, repost and share, you or someone on your timeline might need it. buena suerte. 👍

A Gen Z joined the team.

Week one.

During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”

Gen Z nodded.

Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”

The room went quiet.

- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.

Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”

Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”

Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.

That’s when the team realized something.

When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:

Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out

only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”

So Gen Z chose differently.

- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.

They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.

It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.

And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…

Can you really blame them?

I saw a video last night that inspired me to read about human breast milk and the connection between a breastfeeding mother and the child. Follow me.

The composition of the breast milk is not fixed. It changes from time to time, depending on the baby's needs. When a baby latches on to the nipples to suckle, a tiny amount of the baby's saliva flows back into the mother's nipple ducts during feeding. Receptors in the breast interpret this "data," detecting signals about the baby's health, hydration, or needs. In response, the mother's body rapidly adjusts the milk's composition, tailoring it precisely to support her child. This real-time feedback loop highlights how wonderfully attuned the human body is, turning breastfeeding into a dynamic conversation rather than a one-way provision.

This adaptive process can trigger remarkable shifts inside the breast. If the baby's saliva indicates low hydration, the milk becomes more watery to quench thirst. When illness is detected (through pathogens or cues in the saliva), antibodies and immune factors spike, providing targeted protection. For a baby that's too tired, the fat content may increase to promote calmness and satisfaction. These changes can occur within hours, or even minutes, demonstrating the body's extraordinary efficiency.

Breast milk also follows a circadian pattern. "Night milk" enriched in melatonin and sleep-promoting compounds like tryptophan, helping babies settle during evening feeds. Daytime milk, by contrast, contains higher levels of alertness-boosting elements. What this means is that you can pump your breast milk at night and store it, after labeling it properly. If your baby is having a hard time sleeping in the afternoon, you can give them this "night milk" and they will sleep better.

Even the colors of expressed breast milk reveal its living, responsive nature. Everyday mature milk is typically white or creamy. A yellowish tint often signals immune-loaded protection. So, when your baby is ill, the milk will have a yellowish tint. Green colours may come from a mother's diet of leafy greens, while orange or deep yellow reflects carotenoids from foods like carrots. Pink traces can appear from harmless blood (such as from cracked nipples).

The human body is amazing.
The women's body is amazing.
Most importantly, BREAST is awesome!
