Pics: UNILAG students use pure water to put out fire at their hostel

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 05:47 AM PDT

The popular Madam Tinubu Hall, MTH, was gutted by fire in the early hours of today after a student used a hot plate to cook and put it under her bed without totally putting out the heat. The fire started from the room and spread to other rooms but thankfully no student was killed. A few of them were however injured when they tried to jump from their windows to escape the fire.

The saddest part of it all was that students had to resort to using pure water to put the fire because there was no water in the hostel. Quite sad! See more photos after the cut...

CAN claps back at Okotie, says how many wives does he have again?

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 02:20 AM PDT

Two days ago, Household of God Head pastor Chris Okotie, called for the resignation of pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, over his involvement in the $9.3million arms deal scandal. (see here) Well, CAN has replied him and they started with, 'is he a Christian?' lol. These our Christian leaders sef...

Speaking exclusively to Punch, the Director of National Issues in CAN, Mr. Sunny Oibe said Okotie is only looking for popularity through Oritsejafor. Oibe said;
"Is Chris Okotie a Christian? How many wives has he? He should go and sort out himself. Even the government has exonerated Pastor Ayo of all the allegations. So, who is Okotie? Well, it is laughable if Chris Okotie should demand that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor should resign as President of CAN.
"Chris Okotie should remove the log in his eyes before he begins to see a peck in somebody's eyes. Pastor Ayo had a soaring integrity before he was elected the President of CAN. Who elected Chris Okotie to become the spokesperson of Christians in Nigeria?
"CAN will not like to join issues with Okotie because doing that will amount to making him popular. He is looking for popularity which he doesn't have through Pastor Ayo and he is not going to get it."

Ex-Falcon footballer Chified shares very inspiring piece

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 01:46 PM PDT

In this inspiring piece which she shared on her instagram page, former Falcon's player Chichi Igbo talks about how she overcame all obstacles, including her father who didn't believe in her dreams of being a footballer, and becoming the only Nigerian girl to go pro internationally at the age of 16. Find the piece below...
Give away jersey signed by myself and my teammates. This is a special piece, won championships and scored a lot of goals in this jersey, I cld've decided to save it as a souvenir but I want to inspire someone, touch some's life, give hope or just put a smile on someone's face. Let me tell y'all something you don't know about me, something to remember whenever it seems to hard to keep pushing, when you feel the world is on your shoulders. I was that girl that was told by her Dad that she'd never amount to nothing if soccer is what I wanted to waste my time with.

Got my ass whooped everyday by him, but next day I'm out there with the boys doing what I burn for. Villagers started talking cos hanging around boys was not normal but all that was on deaf ears. I was that girl on the street, kicking my orange, tied bags, basically any round object I cld find, barefooted. I was that girl that walked miles to and from school barefooted on the hot sand and burning sun, patched up uniforms, come home to no food. Worked at the farm everyday so we could eat, walked miles from the stream with water on my head so we could have water. I was that girl that was used as a slave by the so called "bigger players" running errands, shopping, washing their cloths while they were napping, getting their rest before the next training session.

But I'am the only Nigerian girl to go pro overseas at 16. my struggle didn't end there but life got a lot better. What I'm trying to say is dreams do come true, you may start all the way from the bottom, the road may not be smooth, you have people try to discourage you from following your dream but don't let anything or anyone stop you, stay focused and follow your heart. Stand firm and stay pushing, let them be your motivation. I'm glad my Dad was alive to see me become what he never imagined. I shaded tears the day he told me he was proud of me. I thank him for being my motivation cos I worked my ass off just to prove him wrong. DON'T EVER STOP BELIEVING IN YOURSELVES!!
