Afe Babalola University students cry out over hike in school fees

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 11:35 AM PST

I've been getting quite a number of emails from the medical students of Afe Babalola University. Apparently their school fees was increased today from N1.7m to N2.6m and they are very unhappy about it. Continue...


"Behold the most expensive university in Nigeria. In view of the current hike in fees which is really bizarre we as students have expressed our sincere disappointment but this is not a single battle. Initially, the fees was approximately N1.7m but rose overnight to N2.6m. Our parents are complaining and we are feeling their pains because they want us to achieve our dreams.
We really need the social media to join us in this battle. This exploitation must stop. We can't protest because we will be expelled" A student wrote in
Another student wrote;
"I  a 300level Medical Student at the Afe Babalola University. I would like to use this medium to inform you that there was an increase in the fees of medical students at the clinical level today by over 1.4 million Naira totaling the fee to about 2.6 million Naira.
There had been an outrageous and unacceptable outcry by the students. Please your support in this fight against extortion and exploitation would be so much appreciated by the entire student community."

Kanye's full interview is out. Claims Beyonce has pic of Kim on her wall

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 09:19 AM PST

Kanye West was on Power 105's Breakfast Club this morning where he talked about everything from his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, Tyga's relationship with Kylie, Kim posing nude for magazines and more. Below are the highlights:
On Tyga dating 17-year-old sister-in-law Kylie Jenner:
"I think he got in early, I think he was smart [laughs]. They are closer in age than a lot of relationships that I know. I knew Tyga was smart." Then he said, "I can't speak on nobodies relationship."
On his ex-Amber Rose:
"She's just soaking in the moment. If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn't be an Amber Rose. It's very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that's with Amber Rose. I had to take thirty showers before I got with Kim."
On Kim sending him naked pictures while he was with Amber:
"I wish."
On his wife Kim Kardashian West posing nude for Paper magazine:
"I think that with my wife, now that she has access to high level photographers, it's important for her to stand up in all of her glory and all of her power. Her power is in her body, it's in her nudity. Her power is in her mind, power is in her family, but body is one of her powers. She's going to always have that body, but she's going to have mind, family and she's going to create a legacy. But, she can get naked if she wants to, it's not illegal to get naked."
On if he thinks the Kardashian brand has hurt the Kanye West brand:
"No, it helped. It just shows my ability to bridge the gap."
On having North West front row at his fashion show:
"No one can tell me where to have my child or not."
On Beyonce & Kim K's relationship:
"They love each other. They respect each other. When Beyonce is working on her album, she has pictures of Kim on the wall because Kim represents powerful women. Kim plays the '7/11' video. Maybe there's a LeBron James/Kobe element to it."
On taking up for Beyonce:
"Beyonce don't need no help. People look at Beyonce because she's rich, a beautiful woman and talented and so they figure she has everything, so she don't need nothing else. But I think she needs the proper accolades because she's an inspiration."
On Beck:
"The other day I went to dinner with Taylor Swift and ironically they were playing the Beck album. I was listening and I was like 'Man, this is kinda good'." He said he hadn't heard the Beck album before for his rant after this year's Grammys.
On why he chose to have Dame Dash present him the BET Honors Award:
"Because he presented me to the world and I wouldn't have had a record deal if it wasn't Dame Dash."
On deciding to ride with Jay Z over Dame:
"It was an extremely visionary move on my part, to roll with Jay Z. I mention Dame in a lot of raps but the story is not done. It made more sense for me career wise to roll with Jay even though Dame had supported me. I wonder, where would we be if I had rolled with Dame. I came to Roc-A-Fella because Jay Z was my idol and it would have been hard for me at that young state to separate from my idol. That was a decision I made, do I say that there was some disloyalty in that? Yea, I'll own up to that. Is it anything me and Dame can do together now to make money? Yea. We're [Ye & Dame] going to work on films. Dame is like the original person who understood culture. You definitely have to say Dame is a real n*gga."
On auto-tune:
"I don't like auto-tune either, but I need it. I can bend my voice and other things and I like to do that."
On his YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers:
"I didn't want them to be limited actually that's something that the company did. I really wanted as many people to get them as possible. I don't want the price to be $350. I don't want to play this sneaker culture game. I just want people to have what I made."

Audacity of Hope: A Corper's Encounter with President Jonathan

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 09:27 AM PST

Sponsored post...
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership. —John Kenneth Galbraith. There are three kinds of people: Those you meet and instantly forget a few minutes later. Those that give you a negative impression when you meet them, and those that leave long-lasting pleasant memories after you've met them.
I am Onyeizu Chinedu from Obingwa LGA of Abia State; a Harvard University trained professional and a Petroleum Engineering graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri.

In late 2002, I was posted to Bayelsa State as a "Batch A" National Youth Service Corp member. After the three weeks orientation camp, I was assigned to serve in Kiama Grammar School, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area; where I taught physics and mathematics.
Of course, I had a pleasant experience teaching in the community school and hanging out with friends and other corps members most evenings under the famous Kiama bridge.
One of the most significant incidents of my youth service experience occurred outside the classroom and it started with a visit from an elderly friend of mine, Papa, who supplied fresh plantain and fish to corpers. Anytime he visited, I observed a cloudy white substance that covered a large part of his right eye. While we conversed, I remembered we were encouraged at the NYSC orientation camp to engage in group or personal community development projects (CDP). So the idea of surfing the net for an NGO to help the old man came to my mind, at the same time, as a corps member who had benefited from his free food, I decided to make it a personal CDP and explore any opportunity to relieve his condition.
Initially, I pondered whether my meager N11,500 monthly allowance popularly referred to as allowee will be enough to accommodate an extra investment in a humanitarian initiative and also sustain me in Kiama village. But since Papa wouldn't hesitate to share his bunch of plantain, which is actually all that he had, I didn't waste time to conclude that any effort to restore Papa's sight will be worth my time, energy and allowance.
The first thing I did was to register the initiative as an NYSC CDP. Afterwards, I started researching to learn about the name and cause of his eye infection. When I was told it was cataract, I started surfing the net on weekends to either find a group, an NGO or a medical institution that will be willing to offer free eye service surgery to Papa. As luck could have it, I found a medical charity in the United Kingdom, "Sight 2020 Direct". I wrote them an e-mail, asking whether they could come to Bayelsa for a free eye surgery camp. After several e-mail exchanges, I was able to convince the group to come.
However, I didn't know that I had a big bureaucratic hurdle to jump with the state government ministries. For common sense sake, we are referring to a group of ophthalmologists and nurses that are coming to carry out a free, again free eye saving surgery for cataract blind persons in the state. With the assumption that government officials would be enthusiastic about the project, I reached out to the Bayelsa State Commissioner for Health and the numerous special advisers to the Governor on health matters. To my utmost surprise, I was turned to a ping pong "Chinedu come tomorrow, Chinedu the commissioner is busy with an important delegation, Chinedu the initiative is laudable, we will consider it and call you, Chinedu do a formal application using the NYSC letterhead etc." After three months of seeking for help and support from the government, I exhausted my resources and the resources of the corps members that volunteered to help.
At a point, my small team and I decided to organize the eye camp on our own. We informed the NYSC state office and got approval to go ahead with a humanitarian branded message and creative ideas on how to execute the project. We started making progress as more corps members volunteered to join. Soon we had opticians, medical doctors, etcin the team. We set up make shift diagnostic centers across the state, used opticians that volunteered in areas outside Yenagoa. Within weeks, we registered over 50 blind patients and conducted visual acuity tests on them. I remember organizing a sensitization road walk along the major streets of Yenagoa wearing a white T-shirt; we branded "Sight for all Bayelsans in 2003". Because we had no money, we produced the road walk T-shirts out of a cardboard paper cut-out and then used diluted oil paints to write on it. However, the Bayelsa Radio and TV stations agreed to place our public announcements and jingles on air free of charge. That leverage helped us reach out to patients that reside far from Yenagoa. I hardly slept for two hours in a day. I would co-ordinate and plan project deliverables with the volunteer optometrists, follow up on other corp members that volunteered to support logistics and at the same time pursue the ministries responsible for health matters in the state. But determination and the passion to serve our nation kept us going.


When the UK- medical team landed in Port Harcourt airport on November 14, 2003, I still had no financial or logistical support from any government agency. Meanwhile patients had started contacting medical officials in Okolobiri General Hospital. Before I made the last move towards getting the state government's attention, I said a quick prayer in my mind. I asked God to intervene; at least for the sake of the poor blind persons that have made it out of the creeks to receive sight saving surgeries. This final move was to visit the head of a Bayelsa youth organization. I met him and explained my ordeal with the state government ministries. He apologized and asked whether I met with the state deputy governor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. I said no; but that if any help has to come, it should be quick because the expatriate doctors were already on their way to Bayelsa from Port Harcourt International Airport.

He made some calls and asked me to quickly get into his vehicle. We drove down to the Bayelsa State Government House and we were ushered into the deputy governor's office. We logged in our names and after a few minutes we went into Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's office.

I told him about the free eye surgery programme and my fruitless efforts to get support from the state ministries. I was specific, I asked him for three things: accommodation, security, and transportation. After listening to me, he smiled and thanked me for initiating such a laudable project in Bayelsa State. You may wait at the reception." His voice was gentle, like he was giving me a suggestion, not an order. I left his office and waited at the reception room. I was exhausted and anxious, still praying in my heart for a miracle to happen.

As God could have it, the Chief of Staff soon appeared and relayed a message from Dr. Jonathan. "You will be provided a coaster bus, five mobile policemen and accommodation at Intercontinental Hotel, Yenagoa. In addition, they gave me the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand naira to purchase medical equipments for the project.

I couldn't believe my ears. To me it was a modern day miracle; especially after passing through hell in the last couple of months.

The free eye surgery programme started on Tuesday, November 18, 2003, at Okolobiri General Hospital. The Sight 2020 Direct team performed a total of sixty-eight surgical operations; removing cataracts and inserting intraocular lenses. Over sixty-eight blind indigenes of Bayelsa State had their eyesight restored at the end of the programme–The full story was published on pages 24-25 of the December 13th,2003 SUN Newspapers.

Twelve years have gone by since my youth service in Bayelsa State, but I have never stopped wondering what would have happened to that free eye surgery programme if Dr. Goodluck Jonathan hadn't intervened. What would have happened to Papa and the other 67 blind patients?

I strongly believe that Dr. GoodluckEbele Jonathan certainly belongs to the group of individuals who give long-lasting positive memories. He addressed the major anxiety of his people at a time it was needed. Although we met for less than ten minutes, his prompt action that fateful day had a huge impact on my life and the lives of those 68 patients.

From that brief encounter with him, I learned that persistence pays off. Problems and challenges may obstruct your progress, but if you believe in yourself and your goal, you will eventually succeed. I remember waiting for hours, particularly at the ministry of health with nobody paying attention to me. I remember being referred to this or that special adviser, and being forced to use my meager corper allowance of N11, 500 (less than $100 today) to support the free eye surgery programme. Despite these initial setbacks, the breakthrough finally came.

The second thing I learned from my encounter with Dr. Jonathan is that there are government officials who genuinely care about the welfare of Nigerians and strive to improve lives. Even in the midst of corruption and apathy, you'll find God-fearing leaders who provide immediate solutions to pressing problems.
The last thing I will like people to take away is that it's okay to aim high. I could have donated textbooks to the students of Kiama Grammar School and registered the donation with NYSC as a personal community development initiative. But I decided to aim high and impact as many lives as possible, and thanks to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, I succeeded.

These three lessons inspired me to share my national youth service experience with Nigerian youths and with those who find it difficult to cope with government bureaucracy and the challenges of life.

A lot has been written about the upcoming February 14 presidential election, and most of the debate revolves around speculation. I already know my choice for the office of the president and it is based on personal experience, not fantasy or rumors. He might not be a perfect president; but he is a man that can listen and act;especially when approached with solutions to our national problems. However, my vote will go to the affable former deputy governor of Bayelsa State who believed in a youth corper and acted promptly to improve the health of the helpless.

Amber Rose to spill the beans on Kanye, says he put hands on her, likes his booty hole played with

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 08:25 AM PST

How are you going to date a woman for two years, someone who knows where you buried all the dead bodies, someone who doesn't particularly have reservations, has nothing to lose and you go on radio to slam her, saying you had to take 30 showers before you could be with another woman (someone who probably has more body count)? Well, Amber is furious with Kanye and she's coming for him. Continue...

Read the report from MediaTakeOut.com below..
The SH*T just hit the fam. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with one of Amber's closest friends - who tell us that she's FURIOUS - with the ongoing SLANDER CAMPAIGN that she's being hit with - from Kanye and the Kardashian's - and she's ready to drop the BOMB, and spill Kanye's tea.
What's the tea, you ask? Well ALLEGEDLY when Kanye and Amber used to date - Kanye liked his BOOTY PLAYED WITH. Not the booty - the HOLE . . . EWWW . . .
But here's where it gets even MORE messy Amber also claims that Kanye has PUT HANDS ON HER in the past - and left bruises - which she has photographic evidence of.
Kanye and Amber had entered into a legal NON-DISCLOSURE agreement in the past - where Amber agreed NOT TO TELL. But she now feels that since Kanye went on the radio this morning and basically called her a"DIRTY B*TCH" . . . she should be able to spill his tea.
This saga is about to get real good.

Fayose: Buhari in London Hospital for medical treatment, says: "he is vindicated"

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 07:26 AM PST

Another press statement from Ekiti state...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that the APC presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) who  travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) for medical treatment is being attended to at a London hospital, describing the medical trip as a vindication of his earlier stand that Buhari was sick and lacked the required capacity to rule Nigeria. 
He said; "as against the claim of the APC that Bihari was on a short working visit to the UK, Buhari is being treated at a hospital located at Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London."

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor described claim by the APC that Buhari will give a talk at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London as "deceit taken too far."

He said; "The event listed on Royal Institute of International Affairs website; http:// www.chathamhouse.org/events to hold on February 23 and 24 is; 'Security and Defence: Rising powers and the future of defence cooperation' and Buhari's name is not listed among the speakers.

"For the avoidance of doubt; the event's keynote speakers are; former Brazil Minister of Defence,  Celsius Amorin; UK Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister of Defence Equipment Support and Technology, Celsius Amorin; Chief of the Defence Staff, UK Ministry of Defence, General Sir Nicholas Houghton; Chief Executive of BAE System, Ian King and Secretary General, Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Dr Abdulatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.

"Apart from the above listed five persons, 25 others are listed as speakers.
"So, in which Royal Institute of International Affairs' event is Buhari participating as a speaker?
"This is not to mock Buhari or which him death. Rather, it is to expose the falsehood of the APC  and desperation of its leaders, especially Senator Bola Tinubu to foist another Yar'Adua saga on Nigeria."
The governor maintained; "The truth is that Buhari travelled out on Thursday to seek medicare in UK and he was attended to at a hospital located in Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London on Friday.

"If the APC people are saying otherwise, let them publish the picture of Buhari boarding the plane and granting interview to Aviation Correspondents at the Abuja Airport.
"While I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally hearkened to my plea that they should allow him (Buhari) to seek medicare abroad, I  must say that it is unpatriotic for the APC to have lied that Buhari travelled on a working visit.

"The party should be honest enough to tell Nigerians that Buhari is actually sick and lack
capacity to rule Nigeria and that they are  only packaging him, hoping that he will become incapacitated if he becomes president so that they can take over power by proxy.

Nigerian Priest jailed for 8 months in the UK for sexual assault

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 05:48 AM PST

58 year old Nigerian priest, Father Hilary Ogom Nwadei, pictured above has been sentenced to 8 months in jailed by a UK court for sexually assaulting a woman he met while staying at St Mary's Priory in Leyland on December 12, 2013.

According to Lancashire Evening Post, Father Nwadei, a priest from the Diocese of Issele-Uku in Delta State, Nigeria, had moved to the UK to pursue his doctorate in Law degree at the University of Lancashire when the incident happened.

He was said to have complained of loneliness and became friends with his victim. On the day of the incident, he'd invited the lady to come to his room to help him pack for a trip to Nigeria when he assaulted her by fondling her boobs.
 
The prosecuting counsel, David Traynor,  while briefing the court said
"The defendant (fr Nwadei) leaned against the door of the room, causing it to shut. He was between her and her way out of the room. He asked her for a kiss and she presented him with her cheek, but the defendant said 'No, a proper kiss', then kissed her on the lips. The victim said she wanted to leave and tried to leave, then the defendant asked if she had any sexual feelings towards him. When she said no the defendant reached up the back of her jumper and undid her bra. Then he moved his hands round the front, underneath her jumper and placed his hands under her bra, onto her naked breasts. He fondled her breasts for a matter of seconds. The woman made her excuses to leave, but he was still between her and the door, so she couldn't leave at that point."he said.
Fr Nwadei then unzipped his trousers, bought out his penis and at that point, the woman asked to leave which he obliged but pleaded with her to keep what transpired between them a secret.

It was revealed during court session that this was not the first time he had sexually assaulted her. On previous days, he had told the woman he loved her, "twanged" her bra and slipped £100 in her pocket for new underwear, an act the woman reported to the church who immediately launched an investigation with the help of police.

Fr Nwadei returned to Nigeria and then visited Leyland briefly again to apologize to the woman for his actions. But knowing that he was wanted for questioning, he left the UK again, following the death of his father and did not return until he was arrested at Heathrow Airport while on a transit flight to the USA in December 2014 – 12 months after the offence.

The presiding judge, Judge Michael Byrne while delivering his judgement said statements from the victim showed that she was intimidated and scared of Nwadei. He said it was a breach of trust for a minister of religion to invite his victim to his bedroom with the purpose of having sexual encounter with her.

The Judge jailed him for eight months with a £100 statutory charge. Nwadei will be put on the sex offenders' register for 10 years, and will be deported from the UK immediately after his jail term expires.
