• Council boss slaps colleague in Jos

By Isa Abdulsalami Ahovi, Jos


A 300-level student of the University of Jos at the weekend committed suicide over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) nationwide.


The deceased, Henry Ehis, of the Department of Actuarial Science of the Faculty of Management Science, of the University, was found dead last week at the Faculty.

The Guardian learnt that the deceased left a short note on his lifeless body to his parents, expressing his dissatisfaction with the current ASUU strike.

But some residents said suicide was not the best option.

MEANWHILE, the 73rd-anniversary celebration of Resettlement in Langtang South Council of Plateau State turned bloody on Saturday, March 5, as the Chairman of the Council, Bulus Venmark Vincent, allegedly assaulted his colleague at Langtang North Council, Ubandoma Laven Joshua leading to the disruption of the celebration, halfway.

The resettlement day was organised and hosted in Sabon Gida, the usual venue of the annual celebration of the Tarok Nation (both Langtang North and South) and other ethnic nationalities resident in the area.

An eyewitness, Lanchang Timpil, told newsmen that the event was about to begin when Langtang North Chairman was invited to the podium to address the crowd having been denied access to sit where dignitaries were seated.


As Laven advanced towards the podium to speak on the importance of the occasion to the entire Tarok speaking nation of North Central zone of the Bantu extraction with the return of democracy, Vincent blocked him from gaining entrance to address the gathering and chose to give Laven a slap that shattered the occasion.

Ubandoma Laven is of People Democratic Party (PDP), while Bulus Vincent is of All Progressive Congress (APC).

The state government is yet to make any statement at the time of the report.

Ahh
This guy didn't read the terms and conditions before accepting admission into Nigerian university


But why do I feel like there is more to this than just strike

Another #justice_for Loading

A big mistake... education is not important in this current regime

Unfortunate

With Suicide, it starts with a small tiny voice in your head, saying end it, end it, end it. If you don't deal with it, the voice gets louder till you end it

Rest in Peace

Nah.. I don't believe it.

Hmmm

That's how Nigerian can frustrate you

The ASSU staffs are not moved by anything but only money because almost all their kids are schooling in overseas or in private universities where there is hardly or no Strike at all

I know of a guy who has been in school since 2017 and hasn't graduated not because of anything, but because of Strike, when they go for Strike, he'll use that opportunity to hustle, when the Strike is over, he won't be able to meet up with fees, studies and stuffs like that and will have to suspend semester/session

ASUU strike!

Even Guardian know say na rubbish news dem write, that's why them carry adjourning news of 5 paragraphs cover main headline news of 1 paragraph.

Where's the copy of the suicide note?

Better to not report than to report with no facts.

Na my turn to commit suicide

Suicide because of ASUU strike?

Nawa oo

Shiiiiiittt!!!!

I don't think this suicide was because of the ASUU strike. I perceive the person involved would have committed suicide for another reason if there was no strike maybe some other time.

You committed suicide because of an association strike? When it wasn't only you that it's affected? I think there's more to it.

K

Wahala.
But how can he just commit suicide over ASUU strike
Something's not right with this News.
Rip to him.

I won’t believe this

Damn!
We are too docile in this country, we suffer and smile like everything is alright. This time next week, we all would have forgotten this happened.
#ENDASUUSTRIKE

jrusky:
Let his family go and Bury him.

Commit suicide because of ASSU strike? He must be mad for real.

Nonsense!!!

You have no idea Bro.

There is more to the story

Rip

People are just frustrated in Nigeria, only those who are bold and strong don't think of suicide.

The highest level of foolishness!!

Nothing in life is worth dying for; money, cars, depression, pain, let alone anything concerning Nigeria..

Well, soldiers go soldiers come, barracks remain...

Let his family go and Bury him.

Commit suicide because of ASSU strike? He must be mad for real.

Nonsense!!!

May his soul rest in peace.
