leadership editorial — Nov 29 2014 Of recent, there has been an upswing in the number of owners and managers of private universities agitating that the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) extends assistance to private universities in the country, with the latest call coming from the vice chancellor of Achievers’ University, Owo, Ondo State, Prof. Tunji Ibiyemi. They insist that like the government-owned universities, they are in the business of providing social services; therefore government should extend financial assistance to them as players in the education sector. They are of the view that their continuous exclusion from accessing funds from TETFund amounts to discrimination in view of the fact that the funds are sourced from the private sector. In our view, this is tantamount to asking the government to subsidise a wholly private venture that was established with profit motive. TETFund was established as an intervention agency under the TETFund Act 2011, charged with the resp...

Is this the level of degradation the Nigerian educational system has gotten to...A shocking but funny picture which has been circulating since yesterday showed a young man celebrating his graduation from the university with "class and style".... The Psychology graduate of Imo State University IMSU whose name is withheld due to embarrassing reasons deemed it fit to celebrate his graduation by being drenched with water as he rolled on the ground, messing himself up with "joy and happiness"...Only if we knew how long it took him to conquer the battle......"School matter no be small tin"..... If some Nigerian graduates can behave this way because they've made it through the University, how would it be when they get a job or even become successful in life....Little wonder the political thugs in our National chambers know how to scale fences and jump gates efficiently -when the educated and thugs all do the same thing... Anyways, congratulations to the...

The lecturers have also passed a vote of no confidence on the VC, calling for his removal from office for the school to move forward.

*sobs* this is a very touching nd rili funny story by my nigga: Roy ofili..pls enjoy: Something interesting happened on my way to Oshodi this morning. At the park this rough mean-looking conductor also known as “agbero” in Yoruba was screaming for passengers, his vernacular oscillating between Yoruba and pidgin English. “Oshod! Oshod!” He shouted angrily as I along with some other passengers scuttled for seats. There was this beautiful young lady who couldn’t throw caution and decorum to the wind but waited patiently until the bus was almost filled. Then she pleaded to sit by the agbero until somebody came down then she would pay for a proper seat. The agbero didn’t even look at her pretty face, he hissed and shouted to the driver to move that why didn’t she rush when others were rushing. The girl started pleading in Yoruba and clean ‘oyinbo’ english; “please, ejó, help me out sir, I know you are a good man, never mind all this shout you have been shouting (people burst into laug...

Not all young girls in universities easily admit that they have boyfriends. Their male counterparts, many of them claim, are a source of distraction. Therefore, in the thinking a good number of female undergraduates, there is no need to keep boyfriends on campus. But this is not the thinking of the University of Ilorin 2013/2014 best Anatomy graduating student, Fatima Sulaimon. The 22-year-old is not just proud of her boyfriend, she is also happy with the relationship. According to her, her boyfriend is the elixir for her success. She said, “He encouraged, inspired and assisted me to excel in my studies.” Sulaimon, with a Cumulative Grade Average Point of 4.80, not only emerged as one of the 48 first class graduates this year, she is also the first female to obtain that grade in Anatomy in the history of the 29-year-old university.

On Thursday, November 13, 2014 Orezi was kicked out of the Redeemers University's premises by the school management, much to the disapproval of several students who started protesting ethe decision. Orezi who was just about to perform his hit track "Shoki" was chased out of the school, after the University's Chaplain was reported to have threatened the DJ of the Event. Left with no choice but to leave the school, Orezi afterwards took to Twitter to apologise to the disappointed students, promising however to be back to entertain them someday. Apparently he was invited by Redeemer's University Student’s Association for the 2014 Fresher’s event tagged ‘The Debut Night.’ Lmao...this reminds me of the Tolu project fame incident in crawford. But nywaiz...hopefully wizkid wont be chased out when h...

NOTE: This write-up gotten from someone tho.... We guys have been made to think that we must always do anything possible to impress the female folk. I'm not against a guy loving his bae, I'm against a guy doing silly things in order to impress a lady. The truth is that most times, these actions come back to haunt us while, we get to regret at the end. 1. Spending above your means: whether its buying things you don't really need in order to look rich and fly, or spoiling the lady with things you normally should not be buying. Its wrong. I see a lot of guys do this and I keep wondering to what purpose? The worst is many of them come back to their senses when its already too late!  2. Lying: I'm not talking about the small lies guys normally tell, I'm talking about bragging to a lady about what you're not. Why tell a lady your father is Dangote's brother, or you're a Chelsea player, or you work in Shell when everybody 4 hostel sabi say u be regular...

A polytechnic graduate (names withheld) has committed suicide by jumping into a lake located at Aba Apata, Adegbayi, Oyo State over his inability to get a job after graduation. Eyewitnesses said that the corpse of the deceased was still floating on the water but was identified from his certificates which he dropped at the bank of the river before taking his own life. A fisherman in the area, Taofeek Dauda, narrated that: “His parents were here, and I told them to pay N30,000 so I can bring out the corpse with my canoe. I also told them that the money covers the materials we are going to use to perform some rituals before he could be buried, because it is very important to do such for whoever dies in this kind of circumstance.” This is the highlight of the sorry state of Nigeria presently as security, unemployment and corruption continues to ravage the country.

But once I go to bed, I don’t wake up for reading again,” he stressed. According to him, he became determined to become the best after listening to the 2010 best-graduating student, Fatimot Ajagbe, a female. Interestingly, he had a social life at Crescent, only that it was a moderate one. He noted that each time he received his monthly allowance, the first thing he did was to spoil himself with good food and drinks. He said he did not like alcohol, though. Besides, he also had a girlfriend. They started dating when they were in 200 leve...

That is how bad the situation is. These guys come to class and order female students to stand up to check if they are badly dressed. “Where will such rubbish happen if not LASPOTECH?” she queried. Another student simply identified as Olaide said: “last year, when we were having our first semester exams, my classmate was sent home from the school gate because the guards fel...
