I DON HAMMER !! BANK ACCIDENTALLY DEPOSITS MONEY INTO TEENS ACCOUNT!!

A teenager in Hull, Ga (USA)), has reportedly become a big spender after mistakenly receiving a $31,000 bank deposit.

Problem is, First Citizens Bank wants the money back.

The brouhaha started March 7 when a man with the same name as the 18-year-old attempted to deposit $31,000 (Approx N4,650,000) at a branch in Madison County, Ga.

Because of a teller error, the money was put into the account of the teenager instead of the depositor (SHOOO!! NA HIM FAULT???), the Athens-Banner Herald reports.

About 10 days later, the man noticed the money wasn't in his account. He contacted the bank, which finally figured out who was credited with the cash.

The teenager apparently recognized the error much sooner: Records show he had withdrawn $20,000 in cash (SHARP BROS!!!) and spent another $5,000 using his debit card before the bank figured out what happened, according to Consumerist.com.

The teenage spendthrift visited the bank on March 18 attempting to withdraw more money from the account, but a teller informed him of the bank’s mistake.

The 18-year-old insisted to the tellerthe money was from an inheritance,MyFox8.com reports.
The account was frozen to prevent further withdrawals.

On behalf of bank officials, sheriff's deputies have contacted the teen.
The teen told authorities he'd resolve the issue at the branch to avoid jail time. As of Wednesday,he has yet to return to the bank , according to the Associated Press.

Bank officials said last week they'd press charges if the money wasn't returned, but as of Thursday, no charges have been filed, according to the the Athens-Banner Herald.

Army nabs 18 herdsmen with weapons in Southern Kaduna

…bloody clash averted


The Nigerian Army over the weekend arrested 18 suspected Fulani herdsmen with sophisticated weapons in Kachia Local Government Area of Southern part of Kaduna State in a, attack planned to be bloody.

National Mirror gathered that the incident happened in Laduga Fulani settlement in Kachia in the early hours of Sunday.

It was further learnt that the military also averted what would have been a bloody clash in the troubled Southern Kaduna.

Troops from the 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Kaduna, acting on a security tip, successfully nabbed the suspects and recovered arms.
The army said it carried out the operation to avoid a planned reprisal move, following alleged attack of some Fulani herdsmen recently in Southern Kaduna.

The spokesman, 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Col. Usman Abdul, who spoke on telephone, said the military carried out the action in good faith and for public good.

His words: “We got reports that there is possibility of reprisal  attacks following the killing of seven Fulani herdsmen after the  killings in Manchok.


“It was this that influenced this foiled attack; hence we moved into action, if not, we would have been talking a different thing now.

“We do not leave anything to chance; rather we went into the area  around 4am and sealed the area. We recovered arms and arrested about 18 persons.”

20 Boko Haram detainees killed in failed jailbreak attempt in Abuja

No fewer than 20 Boko Haram detainees have been shot dead in a shoutout that ensued yesterday morning at the Department of State Security Service in the Asokoro a district of Abuja.

It was learnt that the shootout erupted when some of the suspected terrorists attempted to free their members and leave the detention facility, which is by the precincts of the Presidential Villa.

Trouble started around 6am during the normal handing over and taking over of duties by DSS detainees’ handlers.

A competent source said that as soon as one handlers opened the gate leading to the cell where the detainees were being kept, ten suspected terrorists rushed out, snatched the handler’s rifle and used it to shoot him.

Seeing the attack, some DSS handlers are reported to have retreated so as not to be killed by the rampaging suspected terrorists.

The source said after shooting the first handler, the ten suspected terrorists began to escape into different locations within the massive security compound.

Alarmed by the effrontery of the suspected terrorists, the DSS quickly deployed its men to quell the uprising, resulting in heavy shooting that claimed the lives of some of the suspects.

Many DSS operatives and Boko Haram detainees were also injured in the ensuing stampede.

The shot DSS operative, whose name could not be immediately ascertained, was immediately rushed to an undisclosed hospital. A source said the shot operative was in a fatal state but had not died.

It was learnt that the DSS, which is highly embarrassed by the incident, had begun investigation into why the detainees handler decided to go and open the cell gate alone without being accompanied by others, as is the standard practice.

“The whole episode occurred around 6:30 am and 7am on Sunday during the normal handing over and takeover of detainees.

“The standard rule is that you cannot go alone to open the gate leading to the detainees’ cell but as soon as the man opened the gate, he was attacked and he tried to run away and was shot.

“The shot operative has been taken to hospital,” the source said.

The uprising led to the deployment of soldiers to the DSS headquarters and around the Presidential Villa.
Commuters and vehicles passing through the Aso a Drive, were searched by armed soldiers and DSS operatives.

Marylyn Ogar, the Spokeswoman for the DSS, confirmed the attempted jailbreak, which she said had been stalled by security agents.

She said, “What happened was that the suspects’ handlers went to feed the detainees here but suddenly they attacked him with their handcuffs, disarmed him and started shooting.

“The military was quickly called in before they could do any harm and that is responsible for the shootings you heard.

“It was an attempted jailbreak but it has been brought under control.”

Protest in Solomon lar University Jos, over murdered Student

Students of Solomon Lar University Bokkos, Plateau, on Tuesday staged a protest over the killing of a student of the institution by gunmen suspected to be cultists.
Two other persons were injured in the attack carried out on a shop in Ndar village near the university around 8.45 p.m. on Monday.
The aggrieved students took to the streets of Bokkos in protest, saying it was ``wicked killing`` of their colleague.
The spokesman of the Military Special Task Force (STF), Capt. Salisu Mustapha, confirmed the incident.
He said that the two injured persons had been taken to Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) where they were responding to treatment.
``The unfortunate attack on Ndar village took place around 8.45 p.m. on Monday by gunmen suspected to be cultists.
``During the attack, a level II student simply called Jonathan was shot dead while two other persons sustained serious gun-shot wounds, `` the spokesman said.
Mustapha said the task force had begun investigations into the incident to tracking down the culprits.
He said no arrest had been made and called on the students and other members of the university community to be calm.
Mustapha urged them to go about their normal businesses as normalcy had since been restored to the area.
He said the  deceased had gone to a shop to pick his laptop which he earlier kept for charging when he fell into the hands of the gunmen.
``We learnt that the gunmen were after the lady that sells in the shop but who had reportedly hidden when she learnt of the arrival of the gunmen.
``He was shot as he attempted to open the door of the shop.
``The gunmen, who reportedly stormed the village in two vehicles, might have mistaken him for the shop lady who, we learnt, had hidden herself on noticing the presence of the gunmen, `` he said.
Agams called on the students to be calm.

Shooting incident at Anambra N.Y.S.C Camp

Youth Corps members undergoing orientation at the National Youth Service Corps’ Orientation Camp, Umunya in Anambra State had a sleepless night yesterday following the shooting of one of their colleagues when he reportedly went out of the dormitories to urinate.

The incident, TELL gathered, happened at around 7.30 pm. The shot Corp member whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, however escaped death by the whiskers as the bullet hit him on the arm.

 A reliable source hinted the magazine that the injured Corper who was bleeding profusely was immediately rushed to a hospital in Awka, the state capital, in an ambulance.
A youth Corper told the magazine that following the incident, other NYSC corp members at the camp were afraid to sleep in the hostels and so gathered on the field till around 1 a.m when the authorities succeeded in persuading them to go in and sleep.

TELL learnt that security at the camp had been porous as the place had previously been invaded by hoodlums who come in to dispossess the corpers of their money and other personal effects.

 The magazine gathered that as a result of the shooting incident, security has been beefed up with several soldiers drafted to the orientation camp.

Kingsley Azugo, the medical doctor who attended to the Delta born corps member said his condition was stable. “They came in around 10 p.m. and the patient was heading into coma because of the enormous loss of blood before he was revived. “The injury was at the right bicep of the muscle, that is the bullet entrance, but the exit was at the media bicep measuring about eight centimetres’’, he said.

NYSC members for 2015 elections - DG

NYSC and INEC have concluded arrangements to use corps members as Electoral Officers for the general elections in 2015.

The Director General of NYSC, Brig. Gen. Johnson Olawunmi, made this known in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria in Obubra, Cross River, on Thursday.

He warned corps members against engaging in fraudulent practises during the elections.

“No corps member is expected to collect money from any politician or give out sensitive electoral materials for any financial reason.

“Any corps member caught in this act will be severely punished.

“The use of corps members in elections has become part of the electoral process for obvious reasons.

“Corps members are well educated and enlightened to handle election materials in all local government areas of the federation,” he said.

According to him, NYSC and INEC will pay corps members allowances for participating in the elections

The D-G expressed satisfaction with the security arrangements in the Obubra camp and thanked Gov. Liyel Imoke of Cross River for ensuring adequate protection of corps members serving in the state.

He said the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneur Development programme would reduce unemployment and make corps members to be job creators after their service year.

“NYSC is collaborating with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Industry to facilitate loans to corps members with good business ideas,” he said.

NLNG Endows N2 Billion Engineering Advancement Grant for Six Universities

Abuja — The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited on Wednesday announced a donation of N2 billion ($12 million) to six federal universities from each of the six geo-political zones of Nigeria for further development of engineering education in the country.

The company said it has committed $1 million each to the training of Nigerians who are involved in the building of six of its new LNG ships in Korea.

The financial grant was announced by the Managing Director of NLNG Limited, Babs Omotowa, at a briefing in Abuja. The briefing had in attendance Vice-Chancellors of the recipient universities: University of Ibadan (UI), University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), University of Maiduguri (Unimaid), University of Port Harcourt (Uniport), University of Ilorin (Unilorin) and Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.

Omotowa stated that the NLNG will spend in each of the benefitting universities N340 million ($2 million) for construction of modern engineering laboratories and installation of cutting-edge engineering laboratory equipment in line with the objectives of its newly approved Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for universities tagged, NLNG University Support Programme (USP).

He explained that the six universities were selected based on their top positions within their geopolitical zones as well as by the rankings of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and other global bodies.

Speaking on the rationale behind the endowment, Omotowa noted that the USP which is expected to kick off immediately after all formal paper works have been concluded, said that the company decided to contribute in building Nigeria's in-country engineering capacity through the programme.

He added that the programme which will be managed in partnership with the universities, will run for an initial two years after which an evaluation of its impacts will be taken to determine its next phase and beneficiaries.

"No Nigerian university is ranked amongst the 500 best universities in the world today, neither is our ranking amongst African universities impressive. All the predictions about Nigeria's ascent as a developed country will only come true if and when we also take firm steps to fix our educational system. Well-meaning stakeholders need to urgently join hands to turnaround the poor quality of education in the country for the future of Nigeria to be better," Omotowa said.

Bowen University Students On The Rampage

Students of Bowen University, Iwo, on Wednesday night went on the rampage while kicking against the university authorities’ plans to increase tuition fees.
The students of the private university, owned and operated by the Nigerian Baptist Convention, destroyed school property, vehicles and their chaplain’s residence.
Some of the students also complained of ‘unnecessary rules and regulations’ imposed on them by the school authorities.

Bowen University school gate

While the protest that began Wednesday night continued Thursday. The students to razed down buildings, smashed cars and spread mayhem all over the university campus.
The school security personnel fled while violent protest was going on but the police later stepped in and restored order.

 Vandalised vehicle

A student who wants to remain anonymous revealed that “this issue has been going on for some time now. In fact, it started during the tenure of the last VC but it wasn’t as bad as this. This new VC made it worse. At times they’ll supply light for just a few hours especially in the morning. It’s just so annoying and painful.
“We pay over N400,000 as school fees yet we don’t enjoy all the basic amenities a private university should have. It’s not just fair. We made formal complaints but it’s been story upon story. Nothing has really been done.”
Another student said, “we didn’t know it was going to escalate to this level. It just shows the level of frustration that has set in. The boys left their hostels for the temporary site and burnt some stuffs down. That’s all I can say for now.”
Wale, who works in the school’s sachet water factory, said in phone conversation with P.M.NEWS  that the students razed down buildings, smashed cars including the VC’s car and destroyed things all over the university campus.
“The school’s gate has been locked and people that work in the school were unable to enter the school and police has been deployed to come and stop the protest,” he said.

Nigerian Immigration Service Recruitment Saga

The news of the death of seven at the Recruitment Exam of the National Immigration Service has been met with ire and outrage nationwide. There have been various calls from all quarters for the resignation or outright sack of the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro and the Head of Immigration. The outrage is understandable, in spite of the attempt by certain individuals or groups to use this unfortunate occurrence as a means of scoring cheap popularity against the incumbent Federal Government administration. What is less so is the fact that, for an agency of Government that required 4,000 recruits, there were close to 68,000 applicants.

                I ask: what did even the applicants expect? After reports surfaced that some were asked to part with sums of money at the venue, my heart broke. These youths actually paid for the “privilege” of personal injury and reckless endangerment.

                Whether or not Government and the organizers failed is beside the point. We are no strangers to systems failures in Nigeria, and with the unruly behavior exhibited by the applicants; it was sitting on a keg of gunpowder. The pertinent question is: why are there so many dependent on the Federal Government for employment? As a people, we pride ourselves on tenacity and enterprise. Where has that spirit gone?

                In no way, in no society anywhere is the Federal Government tasked with “Job Creation”. That term is a myth, a song to the ears of Nigerians but fundamentally flawed. While there will of necessity be recruitment into Government parastatals, these are not avenues for “Job Creation”. These are extensions of Government in various sectors, and they surely require staff to run.

                The NIS and FG did not do this to create jobs, but to facilitate the smooth running of the nation’s affairs. No government on earth has the capacity to create jobs, much less that of a densely populated entity like Nigeria. Government is meant to implement policy, creating an enabling environment for jobs to be created. It is a facilitator. Yet 68,000 able bodied youths turned up, each believing in his own mind that the NIS has a job with his/her name on it.

                The National Stadium in Abuja, a complex built for hardworking young Nigerians to bring glory to their fatherland, became a place for desperate young Nigerians to tear each other down in the quest for a hand-me-down. An edifice to selfless service, dedication and sacrifice became a melting pot of angst, riotous behavior and mental laziness.

                Break free from the crowd mentality. Wean yourself off the teat of the Federal Government. They have no jobs to offer the teeming number of graduates yearly churned out by our Universities. Seek a new path, and take advantage of the facilitative policies that they have made available. Nigeria is a land of opportunity, open your mind and think. Then stand up and do something. It doesn’t even have to be big to begin with, start small if need be. If it’s good for your fellow man, and it pleases God, you are well on your way to greatness.

THERE WAS NO BOMB ON A.B.U CAMPUS !!!!!!!!!!!

Since the confirmed scare of (BKH)Boka haram threatening to attack our beloved university , false news have been spread from one corner of the university to the other about the siting of a bomb on campus, well we're glad to inform you it's all FALSE.

REAL GIST: 

A bag was actually sited in the faculty of  engineering , so the security operatives immediately evacuated the entire faculty and locked it down. On further  investigations it was found to be a harmless bag left there by someone. The faculty was reopened that same day and work has continued.

Abeg make una no dey spread false news like this na...

If a bomb is sited anywhere on campus and confirmed, the school will be shut down immediately , knowing that they may be 1 or to more unfound waiting for detonation. The university administrators will in no way leave students to stay in a bomb threatened environment.

End of matter : if there was really a bomb, we  wouldn't be having lectures right now people. One Love..........

National Conference 2014 : THE DAWN OF A NEW NIGERIA!!!

             

President Goodluck Jonathan on  Monday, urged  delegates to the National Conference to do nothing that will undermine the unity of the country.

The President who spoke while declaring the conference open said he has no personal agenda as regards the conference and further  charged the delegates to focus strictly on the desire of Nigerians to build a greater nation.

He reminded participants of the formidable challenge of the programme of the coming weeks, saying that the Conference was an “opportunity to hope anew.”

He also stressed the need to approach the conference with a “new spirit of oneness and national unity”, in spite of the long odds and issues the meeting is designed to address.

It is expected that the national conference will be followed by constitutional amendments based on the proposals and agreements reached in what is arguably the most critical episode of the country’s national existence. This it is hoped would decide how the country would be reformulated going forward. 

Jonathan calls it “a new day… the dawn of a new era.”

This we can achieve by building a more inclusive national consensus on the structure and guiding principles of state that will guarantee our emergence as a more united, progressive and prosperous nation.

He said: “In our history as a political entity, we have experienced highs and lows but have always forged ahead. To my mind, the fact that we have weathered   all storms and continued with the mission of evolving a truly national identity signifies that we are going in the right direction.

“The strongest nations in the world today also went through their own formative stages; some for decades and others for centuries. We must learn from them that nationhood will not happen overnight, especially given the circumstances of our birth as a nation.

“History also teaches that nation-building is a journey of dedication, commitment, diligence, perseverance and patriotic vision. To be successful, nation-builders must continually strive to evolve better and more inclusive societies in which every citizen is a proud and committed stakeholder.”

While explaining  why the Federal Government constituted the conference, President Jonathan said

The National Conference is being convened “to engage in intense introspection about the political and socio-economic challenges confronting our nation and to chart the best and most acceptable way for the resolution of such challenges in the collective interest of all the constituent parts of our fatherland.

“This coming together under one roof to confer and build a fresh national consensus for the amicable resolution of issues that still cause friction amongst our people must be seen as an essential part of the process of building a more united, stronger and progressive nation.”

He said that Nigerians cannot continue to fold their arms and assume that things will straighten themselves out, instead of taking practical steps to overcome impediments on our path to true nationhood, rapid development and national prosperity.

Whatever our feelings are about the President Jonathan Administration, it is in our interest that this Conference has been convened. It would be unwise for us to allow the same narrow-minded issues of bigotry and intolerance that have led us to this critical point hold us back from reaping the possible benefits. All considerations of tribe and religion must be put aside, as Nigeria is neither a religious entity nor a simple collection of tribes.

Only by pulling in a common direction, in spite of our many differences, can we forge a path to true nationhood.

Covenant University graduate jailed in the UK for cheating 6 women out of £186k (N4.8M)

Covenant University graduate Stephen Emmanuel Jack, who now studies in the UK, has been jailed for 3 years for seducing six women on dating websites and cheating them out of £186,000, according to a report by UK Mirror.

A lonely hearts conman was jailed for three years after cheating six women out of £186,000 through dating websites. Police believe student Emmanuel Jack, 26, claimed to be an architect, engineer and gem broker, while talking them into handing over the money.

Using aliases including John Creed, John Windsor and Johnnie Carlo Rissi, the cash was said to be needed for vbusiness purposes.

The love rat, who was studying for a business degree at the University of Salford, admitted 11 counts of money laundering totalling £186,000 and possession of articles for use in fraud at Manchester Crown Court.

Two of the women who were conned are British.

Detective Constable Stuart Donohue said: “While we strongly suspect – but cannot prove – that Jack was the person who was communicating with these women, what we can prove is that money totalling close to £277,000 has been transferred through his bank accounts

“Woman from across the globe were targeted and exploited. Women, who in most cases were vulnerable and lonely.

“Some took out loans, others lost life savings, they believed they were speaking with a man who had genuine feelings for them, a man who loved them and wanted to be with them and who they genuinely believed to be a soul mate.”

The first victim met a man who claimed to be John Creed – a self-employed architect and building contractor on a dating website in August 2011 when she was aged 61.

The pair exchanged e-mails over several days before Creed began expressing his love.

He then claimed to have two contracts: one for log homes in Shropshire and the other for the renovation of flats in Sweden and sent her his contract allegedly worth £950,000.

He told her his feelings were “too strong to ignore” before asking for £1,500 to help pay for supplies for his project. She agreed to transfer some funds to the account.

At the same time another woman who was aged 52 at the time and who was vulnerable, began chatting with a man over the same website.

The man claimed to be living in Spain and working as an architect and building contractor.

After a couple of weeks he again asked for £1,500 to repair damaged machinery and cash to pay tax bills and money to pay his workers.

The woman took out a loan and paid the money to accounts that resulted in the money being transferred to Jack’s account.

Following the reports from the two women, an investigation was launched by fraud officers from Greater Manchester Police.

Officers linked up with with Kentucky state police who took a statement from a woman, who died in August 2013. She said she met a man with the profile name John Windsor through another dating site around January 2012.

Windsor told her he was an engineer who had been awarded a contract to redevelop Wick Airport runway in Scotland. The funds were sent to bank accounts by money transfers and in the form of Rolex watches through the post.

Officers also liaised with Delta police in relation to a victim from Ohio.

She met a man who called himself John or Johnnie Carlo Rissi who was from America but had moved to England to set up as a gem broker he requested money to help with a tax issue and for assistance with payroll, along with various other excuses. Nine transfers totalling £18,924 were sent.

A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing is scheduled to take place on May 16.

It is truly amazing the lengths to which this youth went to procure these funds. His powers of persuasion must be legendary. Too bad they were employed in criminal enterprise, imagine this young man as a police official or attorney of law. We would be rid of the menace of torture in our law enforcement and criminal justice system.

Likely his unique talents were not picked up on, causing him to believe they could only be used for nefarious purposes. Every ability, every gift, no matter how seemingly small, can be used for good. That is the point of having them, to make the world better. Do not look down on your abilities. Hone, develop and showcase them proudly, then think of how to make the world a better place with them.

BOKO HARAM THREATENS BUK AND OTHERS , A.B.U BEEFS UP SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

On sunday the 16th of march 2014, rumours where heard that boko haram (the insurgent group currently plaguing north eastern nigeria) were reported to have sent threats to various tertiary institutions ealier in the week : saying they would be attacking their campuses, on sunday while present in bayero university campus kano, i observed that the student population had dropped drastically as many were said to have fled school due to fear.

In a similar situation, Ahmadu Bello University beefed UP SECURITY ON CAMPUS AS our correspondence on campus reported, the campus suddenly being overun with the armed men in uniform and the university security agents placed in strategic locations all over the main campus, students were forcefully sent to their hostels while those who live off campus were told to leave the campus environs, (this didnt help really) as students became more frantic and tensed ....

since the acclaimed threat, entrance into the A.B.U main campus has become an herculean task as anyone going in or out has to present their id cards and have their bags thoroughly checked.

As much as i praise the security operatives for their swift response to a threat letter , it is pertinent to note that the means through which they handled the matter didnt create a calm and peaceful response, as students had began calling home in fear and the atmosphere only became more tensed than it already was, imagine your restriction to move freely taken away all of a sudden with absolutely no information.

i do advice on a more subtle yet strategic approach at such security threat letters as the university authorities should remember that a bulk of the students in the university are above 18 and are adults, letting them know that theres a security threat will aid quick dispersion and will also put the students on their side, to report any strange activity on campus.

LONG LIVE A.B.U , LONG LIVE THE  FEDERAL  REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!!!

Dad shoots, kills boy found inside daughter’s bedroom (Houston U.S.A)

A Houston-area father fatally shot a 17-year-old boy who was inside his teen daughter's bedroom early Thursday morning, MyFoxHouston.com reported.

The father, who was not identified, was notified by one of his children that there was someone in his 16-year-old daughter's room, the report said. He reportedly found his daughter in bed with the teen.

The confrontation occurred around 2:20 a.m (IMAGINE ---HOW THE GUY TAKE THINK AM!!). The father had a gun and asked the teen to identify himself, police said, according to the report. His daughter reportedly told her father that she did not know the teen and that the two were not in bed.

The father said he told the teen not to move, but reportedly saw the teen reach for something (MUMU), at which point police say the father opened fire. The teen did not have a gun. His daughter later confessed that she did indeed know the teen (WHICH KINE BABE!!) , the report said.

"You just feel terrible for the families," one neighbor told the station. "You just kind of reflect on both of these families’ lives have changed forever."

The father was taken by ambulance from the home for treatment of an unrelated medical situation. So far no arrests have been made, but detectives told the station that they are going to refer the case to a grand jury.

"We are safe in Ukraine", Osun medical students assures Nigerian Govt and parents

Despite the heightening tension and political unrest in some parts of Ukraine, the medical students of Osun State University studying in Ukraine have assured government, parents and well wishers back home in Nigeria that they are safe and not in any way affected by the crises.

The students under the aegis of H.N. Karazin Kharvis National University, State of Osun Medical Students in a letter signed by its president, Mr. Samuel Owoeye and sent to the state government noted that the political rancor did not extend to where they are studying.

The students held that they are fully secured going about their studies and not witnessing any of the chaotic situations stressing that they only watch online just like every other citizen of the world is doing.

According to Owoeye, “For a while now, news has been going around about the political instability in Ukraine, and that has created worries and agitations in people concerned especially from government quarters, some parents and folks with half-baked information.

“With all confidence, I assure that we are doing fine and not affected in any way by the political rancour in the country as this does not even extend to where we are living and schooling. Everything is going well just like a normal day (sic) and we did not even physically witness any of the chaotic situations except those that we watch online and hear about.

“We have been fully secured and having nice time (sic). I confirm to all that State of Osun Medical Students in Ukraine are in peace and harmony,” the Osun medical students in Ukraine emphasized.

The students while praying for the restoration of peace in the political system of the country of their host university averred that news about Ukraine political instability will soon be history.

They expressed gratitude to the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola led government in Osun for the investment in them, stressing their gratitude and commitment to being good ambassadors of the state and Nigeria in Ukraine.

Osun government had sponsored 98 Clinical Students of the College of Medicine of the Osun State University, UNIOSUN, to complete their medical studies in the Karazin University in Ukraine.

The programme, expected to last for two years cost the government not less than N146 million for the training.

The students, who were in their year three, four and five while in Nigeria were said to have stagnated in their studies for the past three years and could not continue their medical training because non-accredited teaching hospital status of UNIOSUN where they should have been trained to become qualified doctors. Needless to say, this initiative of the Osun State Government is a Godsent to these students. As we can glean from their statement, they would rather face the threat of insecurity as aliens in a foreign land than come home to the reality of the Nigerian educational system. Amazing!!

It must be said, though that the thoughtfulness of the Osun State Government in intervening to provide a solution to a deplorable situation is commendable and worthy of emulation. The governors of the other 35 states would do well to take notice.

Nigerian twins break world mathematics record

Peter and Paula

Peter and Paula Imafidon, Nigerian eight-year-old twins from Waltham Forest in Northeast London, are a part of the highest-achieving clan in the history of Great Britain education.

The two youngest Nigerian siblings are about to make British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam.

That’s on top of the fact they set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers.

Chris Imafidon, their father, said he’s not concerned about his youngest children’s ability to adapt to secondary school despite their tender age.

“We’re delighted with the progress they have made. Because they are twins they are always able to help and support each other”, he said.

To Peter and Paula’s parents, this is nothing new. Chris Imafidon said he and his wife have been through this before: They have other super-gifted, overachieving children”, he said.

Peter and Paula’s sister, Anne-Marie, now 20, holds the world record as the youngest girl to pass the A-level computing when she was just 13. She is now studying at arguably the most renowned medical school in the United States, Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore.

Another sister, Christina, 17, is the youngest student to ever get accepted and study at an undergraduate institution at any British university at 11. And Samantha, now age 12, had passed two rigorous high school-level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of six, something that her twin siblings, Peter and Paula, also did.

Which is the most used ATM on campus (samaru)

hello people , with food stocks finished in the hostel as a result of living with 7 hungry men (called  roommates) , that seem to always be hungry at every time of the day, the bag of
garri i brought to school having been levelled in less than 2 and half weeks of my arrival to school, i was really in need of money to re-stock, i called an aunt and an uncle and
they promised to send in something --- i received the alert 2 days later that money was deposited to my account, with great speed i ran to the  ATM in pharmacy only to be  disappointed  with "INSUFFICIENT FUNDS", i moved to north gate  ATM  and was
immediatelly drained of energy because of the queue,  having lost speed but with hope i strolled to KIL, the the queue there was 3 times more than that of north gate, ( and the  air-conditioning system was not helping matters, as some people where typing their project when asked for their "SECRET NUMBER", all because of AC).

I was told of one more in faculty of engineering, you'll be amazed at what the atm said ....."YOUR CARD IS NOT SMART" can you imagine?? , even the engineering  ATM mocks students of other departments like the engine boys themselves.... okay people i was able to make final withdrawal from FACULTY OF ARTS....the queue was minimal and it dispensed with ease....offcourse you should know my next destination....."Zinkies"...then market

, a campus with over 40,000 students have only 5 atms (main campus) and 1 atm (kongo). So which  ATM  is your favourite ? few already have a history of having long queues ...pls let us know...much love people

Despite Boko Haram killings, Nigerian Government deploys 820 new NYSC corps members to Borno

Despite the killing of hundreds of people in Borno in the last month by the outlawed Boko Haram sect, the National Youth Service Corps has deployed 820 new corps members to the state. The corps members will hold their orientation programme in Gombe.  The deployment was disclosed by Margaret Dakama, the Head of the Public Relations Unit of NYSC in Gombe State.

The NYSC is a mandatory one-year scheme by the Nigerian government for all Nigerian university and polytechnic graduates below 30 years, designed to foster unity and national integration. In a statement on Friday, Ms. Dakama also stated that 1090 corps members had been deployed to Gombe. The newly deployed corps members are part of the 2014 Batch ‘A’ group. The statement said that Gombe, a neighbouring and safer state to Borno, was once again hosting corps members deployed to Borno for the three weeks orientation at Malam-Sidi Orientation Camp. Gombe State had also hosted the orientation course of the Borno 2013 batch ‘C’ corps members.

According to the statement, the orientation will commence on March 11 and end on April 1. The NYSC also solicited the support and cooperation of the people of Gombe state in directing participants to the venue of the orientation. The statement revealed that Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe would be the special guest of honour at the opening ceremony.

 There have been significant casualties in Borno and some other northern states since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009. This led the Nigerian government to declare a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa in May 2013. Despite the emergency rule however, the attacks by the sect have worsened in 2014.

                It is worth noting that the NYSC is a beacon of unity. The Boko Haram sect has, as part of its agenda the destabilization of Nigeria. To allow this insurgency to derail the aim of national integration would be a symbolic victory for these terrorists. We must not lose sight of the big picture, and the insistence of the NYSC to continue deployment to Borno State is a bold statement: the Nigerian spirit is alive, unbowed and unbroken. (NAN)
