TRAGEDY AS RAINSTORM HITS LAGOS, ILORIN (PIX)

LAGOS—Tragedy struck in Lagos and Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, yesterday, as six persons including a pregnant woman and her three children were electrocuted as rainstorm swept away three others in Ilorin.

The Lagos tragedy occurred at Oworonshoki area of the state, during a heavy downpour. According to an eyewitness, the tragedy struck at Nos 6 and 8 Onabanjo Street, Oworonsoki around 2.00 am when the 11KVA high tension line suddenly snapped during the early heavy downpour accompanied by rainstorm with electricity still on the cable.

Confirming the incident, General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, said, a cable belonging to Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, during the heavy rainfall, sparked when power was suddenly restored at about 2.20 am. He said the cable snapped and landed on a vehicle with 50 litres of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, which immediately exploded into a ball of fire.

He said the incident caused panic among residents of the area and in an attempt to run into safety, they unknowingly stepped on the live cable and were electrocuted.

Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed that six people died while the Police and other security agencies arrived the scene later to restore normalcy.

Also confirming the report, Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasak Fadipe explained that the high tension cable fell on a car loaded with Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, resulting in fire outbreak which eventually claimed six lives, adding that the prompt intervention of men of the Fire Service prevented nearby buildings from being gutted by fire.

Eyewitnesses’ account

However, an eyewitness, Mr. Kabiawu Babajide, who is the General Secretary, Council of Oworonshoki Youth Forum said when the high tension wire snapped, it fell in a drainage and caught fire when it came in contact with wood, saying that two vehicles close to the wood were burnt by the resultant fire. He said people started screaming to alert others.
He said: “Not knowing what was happening, some people in their houses ran out and in a bid to escape, they stepped on the naked wire and were immediately electrocuted, while those injured were rushed to the hospital.

“People ran away from their houses in different directions and stepped on the high tension wire and they were immediately electrocuted. It was about 30 minutes later before PHCN, cut off power supply after they had been informed of the incident.

“Six people died in the tragedy, which included a woman with three children and another pregnant woman with a child.”

Another eye witness, Ladi Joshua who claimed to be few metres away from the scene where the high tension wire snapped said the incident occurred around 2. 00am. According to him,

“the wire fell on a wooden material and caught fire immediately. I shouted fire and immediately called the fire service to the scene but before they came, the damage had been done.

“In the process, six people were electrocuted, with those injured taken to the hospital, efforts to rescue the deceased proved abortive.”

It was also gathered that the man who was said to have lost his wife and three children, upon hearing the news was reported to have broken down, lamenting that he had lost all hope and reportedly attempted suicide before he was rushed to an hospital in the area.

Joshua gave the names of those who died as one Iya Fatima, who died with her child and one Iya Jonathan, who was pregnant and died with her children, adding that another boy, called Basit was also electrocuted.

According to him, the deceased were taken to the mortuary of a hospital in Yaba as they were rejected at the Gbagada General Hospital. Two brothers,

driver killed as rain wreaks havoc in Ilorin In Ilorin, no fewer than three people were feared dead in a downpour that destroyed property worth millions of naira and rendered hundreds of people homeless overnight.

The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that two brothers identified as Basil and Gafal, aged four and three and half respectively, lost their lives while an Abuja-bound bus driver also died in the flood.

NAN correspondent who visited the scene of the flood along Ajase-Ipo Road, Ilorin, reports that over 30 vehicles were damaged due to the heavy flood caused by blocked canal.

A resident of the area, Alhaji Ganiyu Suleiman of Alawari Motors, said that the bus driver, having arrived in Ilorin late, decided to sleep in his vehicle, and was washed away together with the bus.

Not less than eight houses around a hotel along the road were affected as many occupants of the buildings were seen salvaging their belongings from the debris.

Clothes, kitchen utensils and other household items were being retrieved from the collapsed buildings by despondent residents.

Many of the damaged vehicles were washed away by the force of the flood while many also somersaulted.

According to Suleiman, about 10 refrigerators packed in front of an electronics and fridge shop were also washed away by the flood.

Also, many water tanks and PVC pipes belonging to a building materials dealer were washed away or damaged by the flood.

The flood also uprooted banana trees, carried them some kilometres away and deposited them in front of houses and on the main road.

Many of the residents who spoke with NAN said the flood was caused by the blocked canal.

Suleiman appealed to the state government to expand the canal to allow for free flow of water whenever there was rainfall.

Meanwhile, the Kwara Commissioner for Environment, Alhaji Abubakar Morah, who visited the scene, sympathised with the victims of the flood disaster.
Morah said that the state government would find a lasting solution to flooding in the area.

UNILAG Undergraduate Develops Wazobia Bible App.

A 400 level Computer Science student of University of Lagos, Kayode Sowole who won the best student app for developing application that allows people to read the bible in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations offline, tells the story of how the app come to be.


My name is Kayode Sowole. I am from Sodeke town in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I am currently a 400-level Computer Science student of University of Lagos.

I am a highly motivated individual who always enjoys a good challenge. My interest in computing since my childhood has been a major factor in helping me to develop my programming skills that have led to my high level of success in mobile app development. I love developing web and mobile applications. My leisure activities include writing, travelling and listening to music.

When did you realise you wanted to become an App developer?

I made the decision to become a mobile application developer in my first year in University of Lagos in 2010 after an online video training on app development on YouTube.

So what steps did you take?

I started by downloading and installing the Java IDE, which the YouTube training had recommended. I also got the Netbeans IDE on my laptop. Then, I searched Google for related e-books and downloaded them on my laptop for references. From that moment, I started building Java and Android apps. I found my kicks in getting online to research and learning new stuff about app development.

What was the first app you developed?

The first app I developed is called the Picpuzzle, a picture puzzle game that requires the player to rearrange the items in a picture in the proper order. I had fun putting that one together.

Where did you get inspiration for the app you created?

The Holy Spirit was the author of my inspiration. The thinking behind the app was that when God communicates with you in your native language, it seems as if God is from your town for Him to have been able to talk to you.

It allows for a closer and deeper transaction with the Almighty that is very native and heartfelt. When you read the Yoruba Bible, it seems as if God is a Yoruba man, which is true because we are all copies of God’s image. Language is very powerful.

If you want a people to lose their sense of identity, all you need to do is to take their language away from them. As such, providing the word of God to people in a language that they can understand is so powerful and has a very good feeling.

The Wazobia Bible app, affords you the opportunity to read God’s word in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations offline. It’s all about creating value and opportunities for people to access God’s word.

What were the high points of your preparation?

The incorporation of the Bible into Bible programming languages such as THML (Theological Mark-up Language) and OSIS (Open Scripture Information Standard) was the most significant part of my preparation.

The Theological Markup Language is a new markup language that is being used to mark up texts for the Christian Classics Ethereal Library and other projects.

This XML application can be thought of as HTML with additions for electronic books and rich digital libraries, with special support for theological needs such as scripture references and Strongs numberings.

Also the Open Scripture Information Standard (OSIS) is an XML application (or schema), that defines tags for marking up Bibles, theological commentaries, and other related literature. These are useful languages I had to code with to develop the app.

Did you know that you were going to win?

I was shocked when I received the news of my win. Someone had called me to tell me I won because I didn’t attend the presentation.

How do you feel about winning?

This is so comforting and assuring. I feel so exhilarated. I’m so happy my hard work on the app has really paid off. This is a reward for the value I have tried to create by opening up the word of God to reach more people in a language they can understand and appreciate.

How do you plan to maximise the platform your victory has brought?

I intend to use social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter so as to reach out to a lot of people.

Development of the app

Also the 6 month- promotion of the app promised by MTN would help popularise the app.

Could you take us through the start-up process and its growth trajectory?

I started the project by compiling the Holy Bible in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations in plain text format.

Next, I built the GUI (Graphical User Interface) in Eclipse which made the project about fifty percent ready. After that, I developed the connection between the Bible files and the core of the app. At this stage, the project was seventy five percent completed.

To complete the development of the app, I introduced the reading of other documents such as Bible in one year, Every day in the word and other Christian books. I also made a collection of 384 bible verses which will be highlighted when reading the Bible. At the end of this stage, Wazobia Bible app was hundred per cent ready for use.

How have mobile users embraced the app and what kind of numbers have you churned out?

Wazobia Bible app has been downloaded beyond my expectation. The app has had over 2,800 downloads on MTN App Store.

Have you been able to monetize the application?

No. It’s a free app for now.

How do you intend to deal with the competition within the mobile industry?

I intend to introduce other features like reading the Bible out in audio and in the selected language such as Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Pidgin.

How would you assess current level of local mobile applications development?

I think local mobile applications development is increasing rapidly and a few years from now, the local mobile applications development community would have doubled.

MTN has launched the MTN NextApps store for various platforms, how will this impact the development of mobile applications and related content for mobile uses?

MTN NextApps store has definitely expanded the reach of apps to various platforms which will definitely improve mobile applications development speedily because it will encourage developers to port their apps to several platforms.

Would you say Nigeria has the local capacity to effectively support the growth and development of mobile content and applications?

Not at the moment. We have a lot of talented students in Nigeria but most cannot even afford a laptop. Even those who have laptops have to use N100 from their pocket money to get 10MB of data to browse. Only a few can afford to fuel their generators because there’s no light. As students, we need laptops, data and electricity to effectively support the growth and development of mobile content and applications.

What advice would you have for the government or corporate bodies in a bid to strengthen the local mobile application industry?

The government needs to make electricity stable to strengthen the local mobile application industry. Corporate bodies need to divert the millions they give to music stars for adverts to buy laptops for secondary school students who just finished their WAEC and are awaiting results. 

UNILAG Matriculates only 6,488 Students out of 32,764

The Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos, Prof. Rahamon Bello, has challenged matriculating students to distinguish themselves in their academics so as to enjoy the institution’s motivational package for scholars.

Bello spoke at the 2013/2014 Matriculation ceremony for fresh students of the university in Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 6,488 new students were administered the matriculation oath by the vice-chancellor.

He noted that 32,764 candidates applied for admission into the 50 year-old institution, urging the lucky ones to see their admission as not only noble, but glorious.

“You therefore must have the goal to acquire academic excellence for which this university is reputed.

“I wish to encourage you all to work hard and distinguish yourselves in your academics as our university has a motivational package for distinguished students on Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.50 and above.

“Included in the package are a scholarship of N50,000, provision of accommodation in choice hall, 50 per cent discount on bed space and nomination to participate in seminars and conferences nationally and internationally.

“You shall also be entitled to participate in recruitment tests in the final year, nomination for scholarship from external bodies on the request from organisations as well as selection as guest speaker at orientation programmes to motivate fresh students,” he said.

According to Bello, the package is not only attractive, but equally inspiring.

He admonished the students that the journey required determination diligence, focus and resilience.

The vice-chancellor, who gave a breakdown of the number of admitted students, said that 728 were in the Faculty of Arts and 940 in the Faculty of Business Administration.

He said that 1,036, 592 and 398 were admitted into the Faculties of Education, Engineering and Environmental Sciences respectively.

Bello also said that 289 students were admitted into the Faculty of Law, while 1020, 747 and 177 went into the Faculties of Science, Social Sciences and Pharmacy respectively,.

According him, the College of Medicine has 561 new intakes. (NAN)

ASUU STRIKE: FG Apologizes To University Lecturers

Towards ending the ongoing ASUU strike, the Federal Government has committed to spending N200 billion in the 2014 budget on the universities as well as on each of the next three-four years until the universities are brought to world-class standard.  This is in addition to the N100 billion dedicated and already made available for 2013. The government has also increased to N40 billion as a first installment, funds for the payment of earned allowances to the striking lecturers, an improvement from the N30 billion previously released. Continue...

This information is contained in an internal Federal University of Otuoke statement by Professor Bolaji Aluko, its Vice-Chancellor, seen on Wednesday night by SaharaReporters. On the earned allowances, he explained, “Government will top it up with further releases once universities are through with the disbursement of this new figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this disbursement within the shortest possible time using guiding templates that have been sent by the CVC,” the circular said.

Professor Aluko said the development followed meetings on September 19 and Oct 11 of representatives of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof. Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU Representatives led by its President, Dr. N. Fagge with the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo, Minister of Education Barr. N. Wike and others.

Of great interest to stakeholders, Vice-President Sambo, appealing to ASUU to call off the strike, apologized for the "take-it-or-leave-it" comments credited to the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at the onset of the strike.  The Minister did not seem to have been involved in either meeting, perhaps as the government’s way of soothing the feelings of the university teachers.

Other points of agreement at the meetings include the following:

• Project Prioritization: Universities will now be allowed to determine their priorities and not be “rail-roaded” into implementing a pre-determined set of projects with respect to the NEEDS assessment. Decisions are not to be centralized.
• TETFund Intervention: Government assured that the operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to regular TETFund intervention.
• Project Monitoring: A new Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS Assessment intervention for universities has been set up to take over from the Suswan Committee. The new one is under the Federal Ministry of Education and chaired by the Honorable Minister of Education. In addition, to build confidence and ensure faithful implementation and prevent any relapse as before, the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor progress.
• Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a blue print for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President.

Prof. Aluko further stated that a signed document will soon be issued to itemize the full issues on which the consensus he had outlined here, as brokered by AVCNU, was reached.

Shameless: Woman In custody forhaving $-èx with her best friend’s13 Year old son

RCCG Pastor's Daughter Insists Islam Is Her Religion Of Choice

Daughter of Pastor Raymond Uzoechina of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Charity Uzoechina, whose father alleged was hypnotised and forced into converting to Islam has finally spoken on her conversion.



Charity, who has been living at the palace of Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, since converting to Islam has called on Nigerians to leave her alone to practice the religion of her choice.

Speaking on telephone to Vanguard yesterday, Charity insisted that nobody forced her into Islam, and therefore urged everyone concerned to hold their peace and let her practice her new found faith.'

“I did it on my own. Nobody forced or enticed me to become a Muslim. I converted to Islam on my own. Am I the first to convert to Islam in Nigeria? So what is it?”

Pastor Raymond Uzoechina, had earlier claimed that Charity was abducted and hypnotised to say and do what she was doing. He went on to challenge the Etsu Nupe to produce Charity in court for cross-examination by his lawyer.

Charity however said; “I know people are influencing my father and I am praying for him and other members of my family to know that this is the right religion.”

Charity whose father has been fuming about her continued stay at the Etsu Nupe’s palace also said she was not interested in going back to her father’s house.

“I am not going back to my father because of his actions in recent times. He has been threatening me and at my age (25), I am free to practice any religion of my choice and so, I should be left to decide.

“If I want to sue him to court, I can at this my age because it is my right to practice any religion I want.”

A Sharia court had earlier granted Etsu Nupe custody of Charity who now wants to be called Aisha, a ruling her father appealed on grounds that a Sharia court has no jurisdiction of a matter concerning a Christian in a free state like Nigeria. The appeal ruling is slated for August, but the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Niger State Chapter would love the issue settled out of court.

Speaking to newsmen, Niger State CAN Chairman, Rev. Musa Dada, said CAN had visited the Etsu Nupe’s palace along with other CAN officials from Abuja officially on the matter and that plans were on to settle the case out of court.

“We have met with the Etsu Nupe and other stake holders involved at the Etsu’s palace and we have made progress.

“I can assure you that probably before the August 1 (Thursday) date, when the case is expected to come up at the Sharia Court, Bida, something positive is likely to come out which will put an end to the rift,” Dada said.

Wande Coal quits Marvin records

Award-winning artiste, Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal has quit Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.

The Nation gathered that Wande Coal, a member of the defunct Mo’hits records, co-owned by Dbanj and Don Jazzy, released a single Kilaju two days ago, under his own floated record label called Black Diamond Entertainment. His two previous singles Kick and Rotate had been released under Marvin Records.
Although no official statement has been issued on Wande exit from Mavin Records, there are strong indications that he has moved on for good as the official cover art of the new single reads: Black Diamond Entertainment-Wande Coal Kilaju-produced by Maleek Berry.
The producer of the single is another indication that things have fallen apart in the Marvin camp as Maleek is Wizkid’s in-house producer.
A source who does not want his name in print disclosed that Wande’s career has been dormant right from the days of the Mo’hits records and as such he may have decided to take his destiny in his own hands by launching his own record label.
“Don’t blame Wande Coal; he’s only released one full-length album, Mushin2Mohits back in 2009,” the source said.
It would be recalled that Mavin Records was founded barely a year ago after the crisis that rocked Mo’Hits records. Other artistes on the label are Tiwa Savage, D’Prince and Dr. Sid.

Mob Justice: Police & Hoodlums Accused Of Killing Undergraduate, Friend!

Policemen attached to the Badagry Police Division, Lagos State, and some hoodlums have been accused of killing a 25-year-old undergraduate of Delta State University, Ifechukwude Nwainokpor, and his friend, identified simply as Kazeem. An eight-minute video clip of the gruesome killing, which was made available to PUNCH Metro, showed the two victims handcuffed together. They were covered in their own blood and beaten to death with sticks. Tyres were also put round   their necks.  

So sad! When will mob/jungle justice end in Nigeria? What are the various organs of government doing about this ugly trend? Continue to read the rest of the story ...

 An irate mob could be seen in the video, shouting, “die, die, burn them, burn them.” At some points in the video, a policeman was seen interviewing the boys. He asked who sent them (victims) to rob the area, an accusation they denied. One of the hoodlums, holding a sharp object attempted to cut off the private part of one of the victims. Nwainokpor could be seen pleading with the hoodlums and policemen to spare his life, saying he could identify himself if given a chance. His plea, however, fell on deaf ears.

Our correspondent, who visited the family of Nwainokpor  on Tuesday, learnt that the lynching took place around 3pm on July 21, 2013 in Ajara area of Badagry, a community not far from Nwainokpor’s family home. His father, Samuel, told PUNCH Metro that his son was arrested while passing through a street in the area  but a misunderstanding later ensued and the hoodlums pounced on  him  and Kazeem. He added that  Nwainokpor, who was nicknamed Ify, was a final year student of Geology and Mining.

He said, “On that particular day, I was in Ghana when I received a telephone call  that I should come immediately. My wife was in Delta State taking care of her   mother. “When I arrived two days later, my relatives and the caretaker of my house  told me that my son was killed in the Ajara area along with his friend. I was devastated. “I got my son a  temporary job with a Customs licensed  agent since their lecturers were on strike.  He worked everyday except on Sundays when he visited his  friends. On that day, he went to see Kazeem and they were strolling around Ajara.”

Samuel said because there had been a robbery in Ajara four days earlier, some of the residents were on the lookout for strange faces. He added that when the youth  saw two unknown young men, they  accosted them and an argument ensued. He said the youth  called the head of the vigilante group   in the area, one Asiribo. He said, “Asiribo came to the scene with a locally-made pistol and handcuffs. He handcuffed my son and his friend  before asking them questions. 

“Later, it was decided that the boys be taken to the Baale, Agano Oniyon of Agamade Ajara. But as they were going, Asiribo, while trying to return his gun into its  pouch, mistakenly shot himself in the stomach and died.” Samuel said Asiribo’s death infuriated the youth, who  blamed the boys for  his  death. “The mob picked up sticks  and beat them to death. Policemen were there,”   he  said. Holding back tears, the retired immigration officer   added  that the police treated the matter as a robbery case. Beating  his chest,  Samuel said there was no way his son would have been involved in  armed robbery. 

He said, “I have been living in Badagry since 1982. I have  only two children and Ifechukwude  is the  first. Ironically, he was born in that same area where he was killed.

“I have lived in this area without any trouble and  the residents  can tell you that my sons are good  boys.” Nwainokpor’s boss, Aloysius Onyenibedi, described him as an honest and hardworking person. “I trusted him to the extent that I used to keep a lot of money with him. He was good to my children and was honest,” he said.

The Nwainokpor family berated the Divisional Police Officer, Badagry Police Station,  Dankoli Mohammed, for the manner he treated the case. Samuel said when he approached the DPO, he was told that his son was killed at midnight for armed robbery. He said, “When the policemen came to take the corpses, guns were planted on them. Policemen at the station told the DPO that they were robbers. Their corpses were taken along with that Asiribo to Badagry General Hospital’s mortuary.

“The following morning, the DPO released Asiribo’s corpse for burial without investigation. My relatives went to the station and after showing the DPO the video, the matter was transferred to the Area K Command. “At Present, Asiribo’s son has fled, while the DPO has been unable to identify the policemen who were present at the scene when my son  and his friend were killed.”

PUNCH Metro however learnt that through the video, some people had arrested one of the perpetrators. The suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department,  Panti, Yaba.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, said, “The incident is quite pathetic. Even if they were armed robbers, no one has the right to take the life of another. Why then do we have the police and the judiciary? The Nigerian police as well as the law condemn mob action and jungle justice. The commissioner of police has set up a high- powered investigation body to investigate the matter.”

ASUU Strike: Members Dismisses Resumption Rumour

Striking university teachers on Tuesday dismissed as a “rumour” the report that they would soon return to the classrooms. They insisted that there was no end to the strike until the Federal Government honoured fully an agreement it signed with their umbrella body, the Academic Staff Union of Universities in 2009.
Members of ASUU in Nsukka, Calabar and Benin zones restated their resolve to continue with the industrial action at different briefings on Tuesday.
The Calabar zone of the union, comprising the University of Calabar; the University of Uyo; the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, and the Cross River University of Technology, particularly described as unfortunate the report that lecturers would return to the classrooms on Thursday.
The Coordinator of the union in Nsukka zone, Dr. Chidi Osuagwu, said the resumption rumour was an embarrassment to ASUU members.
He appealed to the students, parents and guardians to bear with the union, saying they were pursuing a worthy cause to ensure better university system in the country.
He recalled that the union embarked on the strike because of the failure of the Federal Government to implement the 2009 agreement.
The zone draws its members from the Abia State University, Uturu; the Anambra State University, Uli; the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki; the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu; Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Members of the union in Benin, in a statement by Dr. Sunny Ighalo (University of Benin), Dr. Emmanuel Mordi (Delta State University); Prof. Fred Esumeh (Ambrose Alli University); Dr. Beke Sese (Niger Delta University); and the zonal coordinator, Dr. Sunny Ighalo, also described the Thursday resumption date as untrue.
The statement read, “There is no iota of truth in the report as the government has yet to make any concrete effort to address the issues at stake. The union remains focused and is resolved to carrying on with the struggle to revitalize and reposition university education in Nigeria. Nothing short of full implementation of the agreement and respect for the Memorandum of Understanding of 2009 will be acceptable to the union.”

How family was saved from armed robbers in Lagos

THE Supervisor for Health, Oriade Local Government Development Area (LGDA), Satellite Town, Lagos, Ojora Buraimoh Mustapha; is thankful to God for saving his family from the hands of armed robbers who invaded his house last week when he was out of Lagos for official duties.
  Ojora, who spoke with newsmen, noted that he was outside Lagos on official duties and coincidentally, his children had also travelled, leaving only his wife at home.
  He said hoodlums on that fateful day stormed his house, his wife had just entered the toilet when she started hearing gunshots and a bang on the door warning that they would shoot anyone in the house if the doors were not open within five minutes.
  He said as a woman, she was too frightened so she remained in the toilet. 
 “But the robbers who were armed with instruments started cutting the burglary proof in the house and finally gained access into the house through the ceiling and the window.”
  Mustapha narrated the whole incident: “My wife told me that they were searching for me shouting that my days were numbered.  And when they were convinced that no one was actually in the house, as my domestic staff had all escaped, they started carting away my property.  One of them was saying search everywhere for the land document.”
  “They carted away my property including refrigerators, air conditioners, television sets, jewelleries, box of clothes and money.  They entered my wife’s supermarket in the same compound and also carted away the goods in the shop.
  My wife said when she summoned courage and wanted to climb the ceiling, she noticed that some of them were also in the ceiling.  When she looked through the door hole, she recognized one of the hoodlums as an urchin who lives in the area.
  “She said she would have been killed if she was discovered to be in the toilet.  Although she is still in trauma, I thank God who made them not to think of entering the toilet, because, I am still thinking about what would have befell my wife, if she had been seen especially by the man she knew very well.”
  He said it was later that he was told that the hoodlums came with two commercial buses.  They were equally armed with sophisticated weapons as they shot their way through unchallenged.

Video:::UNILAG Students Admitted To Psychiatric Hospital For Uncontrollable Twerking. B

reports that several female students from UNILAG are currently admitted at Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, also known as “Yaba Left”, for what the doctors have termed “uncontrollable twerking episodes (UTE)”
One of FNN correspondent that went to get his own monthly drugs,was just in time to witness a UNILAG student being rushed into the premises by her family and friends. After several enquiries,he was able to gather that several female students of the school had been previously processed into the hospital, and were currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation.
Apparently, this phenomenon began with the recent wave of dancing that has spread over the world among the young and old, especially females, known as “twerking.” According to one of the doctors willing to speak to the FNN correspondent, the girls had been exhibiting several symptoms which include:
1. Enlargement of buttocks.
2. Irresistible urge to twerk when certain songs (e.g. “The Kick” by Wande Coal) are heard no matter where they are.
3. Twerking while asleep (Twerk-sleeping).
4. Tendencies to twerk in inappropriate places and situations, e.g in a bank, during church services, or during a funeral.
According to the doctor, the girls are being closely and thoroughly examined from all angles, and would be taped during the twerking episodes for further analysis.
Stay tuned to this website,as their videos will be released to our loyal readers as soon as they are obtained and analyzed by our staff.

NANUS says to ASUU "End strike now or"

RISING from their meeting with the Senate Committee on Education at the National Assembly Monday, the National Association of Nigerian University Students (NANUS) called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to end its strike and embrace dialogue with the Federal Government.
   The students’ body, led by its National President, Peter Bassey Asuquo, also informed the committee that ASUU did not consult with the students before embarking on the prolonged strike.
   NANUS told the Senator Uche Chukwumerije-led committee that ASUU’s incessant strikes had failed to impact on the infrastructure status of government universities nationwide, accusing the lecturers of pursuing selfish ends to the detriment of students.
   It further urged the committee to probe government-owned universities on their internally Generated Revenue (IGR), which it alleged has been largely misapplied, leaving university with dilapidated infrastructure and learning aids.
  In his comment, Chukwumerije queried the paucity of IGR by universities and ASUU’s incessant strikes. He called for alternative dispute resolution methods between tertiary unions and the Federal Government.
