I've always believed that anything good worth doing, is worth doing well. This has informed most of my decision taking activities/projects. Needless to say, Objectivity triumphs subjectivity in matters related to news and information dissemination, esp. in higher institutions and coupled with the fact that one RARELY gets good productive news this region motivated me to start blogging. 

Before i started blogging, most blogs i came across were more interested in advertising their friends, self-aggrandizement and publishing irrelevant, totally redundant and trivial news stories. I believe in change, which is to make or become different; to take or use another instead of, Thus Scanty Gela BLOG was born and the rest, as the saying goes is, history.

It hasn't been one smooth of a ride i must add :D. Oh well, There's been happy times, anxious times, desperate times, lovely times, ecstatic times and jubilant times. All in all, it's been quite an experience so far and i cannot wait to unwrap what's in store for Summer 2015 and beyond. Blogging is, and has always been a form of therapy and release for me. It keeps me sane, organized and my 'feet grounded and not in the air'.
