Image
Before getting into office I had a dream to rebuild NUNSA OAU in any capacity that i am and when i have the opportunity and to ensure I create a template, baseline and standard for successors to work with and get better through. Doing this I also understood that leading by example and maintaining traditions that allows NUNSITES express themselves, test their knowledge and skills is a good way to achieve such visions. This one good reason an editorial essay contest 2.0 was planned.

Poem: FROZEN

Extremely cold and does not easily melt, Burns through the skin like fire, Even though there is no heat, There is no way you touch, Without getting wet,  Don’t hold for too long, Or you might lose it, Though it is frozen just like ice Alas! It is not ice, Even though we do not See it with our eyes Only the beats are heard By our ears We feel it in our earth For it is our hearts. Water was not meant  To be ice Free in nature  It was supposed to flow But now as if bound by chains It flows nowhere Why? Due to man’s covetousness A frozen heart did not just freeze Whatever happened had a reason

​The Mace is the symbol of the authority of the House. At the beginning and end of the sitting - the Speaker is preceded by the Mace, which is carried by the Serjeant-at-arms on his right shoulder. When the Speaker is in the Chair, that is, when the House is sitting as a House, the Mace lies on the Table of the House, resting in the upper brackets. When the House sits as a committee, that is, when the Speaker leaves the Chair, the Mace is removed into the lower brackets beneath the Table. When the Mace is not in the House, no business can be carried out. The Mace of the House of Representatives is the symbol not only of the Royal authority but of the authority of the House. As it has been stated that 'the authority of the Speaker and of the House are indivisible', it also symbolises the authority of the Speaker. Before the election of a Speaker, the Mace is placed on brackets under the Table of the House and as soon as the Speaker takes his or her seat after being ele...
