Wetin people dey expect before? It's a ponzy scheme and it's bound to crash!!

The rate at which these DISCOS will migrate consumers to band A will be alarming!! I checked recently and discovered my area is placed under band B when we currently don't use up to 8 hours of light daily! I knw say dem go soon place us for band A!
This Naija sef, anything goes! Official thieves and robbers everywhere!!

IkeGod9891:
Amen.

Hope you n ur kids re doing grt now?

Thanks! We are doing great!!

Had same experience with the OP! My wife died on my laps! It's a damaging experience! She was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer,stage 4 in September 2020 and then, the journey and battle for survival started! At a time we were spending 250k every 2 weeks on chemotherapy! At some point I felt running away!
She succumbed to the cold hands of death on May 17, 2022! Since then the memory has refused to fade away!! Well, time they say heals all wound!! It's never a palatable experience to loose one's loved ones, particularly, spouse! She kissed the dust at the age of 33! May her beautiful soul continues to rest in the bossom of her maker!!

It's doable but very difficult! Blood and water run through our veins and as such, the body will and must ask for the immoral acts! It's natural for the body to ask for them. The body tends to ask them from women during ovulation while for men, seeing " sumtin" lasan can trigger the "little man" that has been suppressed for long!!
Well, for me, I won't try such with anyone, particularly, if the concerned person had been involved in the acts of " mushimushi" before! U go just find out say Na only you dey keep your part of the bargain! One must avoid the story that touches!!

I’m actually waiting for the day our moronic police escort wey dey carry Chinkos( Chinese) wey dey work for CCECC pass one way on LASU- Isheri road go jam Governor for road!! Imagine, Chinko ooo, wetin nor fit happen for their country!!

Can this fly for 2.4?

How can someone just walk into a spinning propeller? Him blind ni? Something isn’t adding up!!

If you are mature, sound upstairs, reside in the above areas and in need of a good and very reliable friend, holla @ me! Need new friend(s)!

*PRESS RELEASE*

*RE: LASU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE MANAGEMENT THROWS OUT STUDENTS' BELONGING FROM HOSTELS*

The attention of the Lagos State University Management has been drawn to an online publication by Sahara Reporters titled "LASU College Of Medicine Management Throws Out Students’ Belongings From Hostels", in which the news platform alleged that the management of the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM) threw out belongings of students in mid and lower classes and left them in the rain.

The University Management wishes to state unequivocally that the LASUCOM management did not " throw out" or leave the students' belonging in the rain as stated.

Indeed, the picture attached to the publication half tells the true story. For the purpose of clarification, we wish to state as follows, that:

1. The College carries out a routine maintenance and renovation of it's facilities, including students hostels, to ensure a conducive atmosphere and the best standard of living for its students. To do this, the management uses the window period provided by holidays so that the students are not affected.

2. When the COVID-19 lockdown was announced and students were asked to vacate the hostels, it provided another opportunity to carry out planned renovations, so students were informed, upon leaving, to vacate ALL their belongings from the hostels.

3. When the lockdown was eased, several messages were again sent to the students to vacate all their belongings to allow the College proceed with the renovations. In all, the vast majority of the students observed total compliance while a few of them picked only what they considered valuable, leaving mostly buckets, stoves and other items. All this while, the College had to delay work to allow the students ample time for full compliance.

4. When the government announced the resumption of school, in a bid to ensure that students resume into a much safer and better hostel environment, and to put only ONE student in a room in compliance with COVID-19 regulations, notices were again sent to ALL students to come and move any of their properties left in the hostels as each room was to be emptied to carry out proper renovation and paintings. The notice gave a deadline with the caveat that any item still left in a room is deemed not to be useful or needed by the student. This made it a whole six months notice to the students.

5. During the renovation, many of the unpacked items, mostly plastic buckets and stoves and old clothes, were taken out into the hostel compound and covered with trampoline. We believe the students appreciate our effort in providing a neat, safe and welcoming living environment that is conducive for study.

6. It appears that the trampoline was removed by some students in a bid to pick their property when the picture posted by Sahara reporters was taken.

I wish to state that the Acting Provost of the College, Prof. Abiodun Adewuya, had lucidly explained the circumstances behind the pictures to the concerned stakeholders.

The Lagos State University remains committed to the welfare of its students and will continue to strive to provide the best quality education in a conducive atmosphere.

..... and LASU emerges/ranks second in Nigeria! Kudos to the School’ VC and his management team!

From observations and reports, all the people that have tested positive for COVID-19 have remained stable with some not showing symptoms of the virus! This is contrary to what currently obtains in the U.S, Europe and other countries of the world and goes to somewhat proves right the people that said the virus cannot wreck havoc in Nigeria due to our weather.
There’s no doubt the virus is highly contagious owing to the ever increasing number of confirmed cases in the country but my sincere opinion is that in the next 3 weeks if Nigeria records no fatality (save for the PPMC man), for the sake of our economy this lockdown should be relaxed! The aftermath of this COVID may not be palatable! We should remember that crude oil is at its lowest(in 16 years) and no country is actually buying now! We need to brace up for the recession that will hit the world after COVID.
Flu kills whites “like water” but it rarely does here! We do not need to follow their strategies for curtailment in totality , ours should reflect our realities! There’s too much of fear and panic in the air! Let’s spread some hope!

Nairaland is sure a good platform to ease off stress! I wan laff die! The truth is that a lot of people are poor and need help genuinely but this category of people are not on Nairaland! If you can afford an internet enabled phone, buy megabytes and busy calling someone Igbo, afonja, Ipob yoots, dullard, lifeless etc,trust me you are not poor!

Sometimes,I just wonder if we really have government in this country! These Distribution Companies wouldn’t just stop this their brazen extortion of the masses and no govt agency is doing anything in this respect! The Distribution Companies, particularly, Ikeja Electric are obviously above NERC or better still, some of the big shots in NERC are shareholders in these companies. Cos I can’t just phantom how NERC “go” make laws/regulations and Ikeja Electric will brazenly disobey these laws and nothing happens. If you are “crazily” billed by I.E and complain to that effect, you will be told to go and pay a substantial part of that bill you are contesting before your complaint can be attended to! We once had problem with transformer, we had to contribute to buy another one but to my greatest surprise we were billed for the seven months that problem persisted( we were billed for darkness). Is there nothing one can do about these money sucking beasts? They keep impoverishing us! Me don tire o!

Iyare is the most useless transport company I'v ever seen in this country! Their "mannerlessism" starts from the girls that issue tickets! Then those rogues that load the buses! They are so annoying, rude and without manners! I don't think there's anyone that monitors their activities!

U dey stay Rasheed Bello Street for Egbe ni? Cheers!

enshi:
I love this Niggi... His vibes are real.. Was on same street in ikotun egbe with him for years...

Now Niggi don port enter Lekki as ee dey hot

The best thing that has happened to LASU in the recent past is the emergence of Fagbohun as the vice Chancellor of d university! All this noise is all about the sack of their chairman and vice for corruption! Those that know, know! God bless Prof. Fagbohun!

FarahAideed:
When you realise that that disco actually sell darkness and not light so you need to pay up for the darkness you consumed from May 2017 to January 2018...Funny as it may sound I am not being sarcastic , the Disco are actually set up to sell darkness

nor be lie!

double0seven:
I feel your pain my brother

I tire for the matter too

The government seem to be unconcerned about the issue. I really tire

. Thank u bro! The country is really frustrating!

Things that happen in this country sometimes makes me wonder if we have government in this part of the world. What surprises me the most is that these our so called leaders travel abroad and see how things are done! Is it that they are blind or derive pleasure in the suffering of the masses?
Companies in Nigeria, from banks to telcos to PSP,DSTV to Discos(particularly,IKEJA disco) continue without hesitation,mercy and modicum of respect to take advantage of the helpless masses and no one is calling them to order!
Airtel and globalcom will activate all manners of useless things on your line without your consent or knowledge and begin to deduct your airtime and you can't do a jack about it!

Where I reside in Egbeda, we had problem with our transformer in May,2017and didn't have power till January,2018 and of course,Ikeja Disco didn't serve anyone bill for the period as expected! But my country men, to my utmost surprise, these Bastards added average of 24,000 to everyone' January,2018 bill for power consumed for d period when we had no power. I forgot to mention that we contributed our hard earned money to buy the new transformer o! What kind of country is this where impunity reigns? Do we have minister of power? Do we have regulators? Can anyone call these baggers to order?
These discos deliberately refused to meter customers so that the fleecing will continue! You pay all sorts of bills in this country without getting corresponding value! I tire o!

Sorry for any typo and grammatical error, frustrated head nor dey think well. God bless us all

Kingjags:
Internal strike loading

This may not necessarily cause internal crisis 'cos the lecturers are divided on the issue.

FULL TEXT OF THE VC'S PRESS CONFERENCE BELOW:
PRESS CONFERENCE BY THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY ON MONDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2017


Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen of the media, on behalf of the Lagos State University, I am very pleased to welcome you to this press conference. The goal is to clarify the issues that have been raised in respect of the decisions of the Governing Council of the University at its 115th meeting held on Thursday 7th September, 2017, and pursuant to which seventeen (17) members of staff (Academic and Non-Academic) were dismissed, while some others were sanctioned. It will also afford the University the opportunity to respond to questions which might not have been raised earlier, and in respect of which respected media practitioners here will love to know the University’s position.

Before I proceed further, let me sincerely thank each and every one of you here present for the support that you have been giving to our Institution in your different ways. Facilitating successful organizational excellence is always difficult; not changing is fatal. It is for this reason that here at the Lagos State University, we will continue to create, nurture and motivate an intentional culture of positive change. Truly your continuous support as information managers will be invaluable.

Since the decision of the Governing Council was made public, the following issues have been raised particularly in relation to Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewunmi and Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu:

That the Decision of Council did not follow Due Process, was manipulated, and was for Political Reasons.
The above assertions are not correct. The University acted strictly in conformity with her rules and regulations. The petition pursuant to which Dr. Isaac Oyewunmi was investigated same which was dated 6th October, 2016 was copied to His Excellency, the Governor of the State; her Excellency, the Deputy Governor; the Rt. Honourable Speaker; the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice; the Special Adviser on Education; the Chancellor and the Pro-Chancellor. On 28th October, 2016, the Honourable Attorney General requested the University for update on the investigation. The Special Adviser on Education made a similar request on 13th December, 2016. I wrote to Dr. Oyewunmi to comment on the petition and he denied the allegations contained in it. I wrote to the three (3) members of staff who were mentioned in the petition and they all responded that Dr. Oyewunmi indeed demanded for the money in question to process the results of the students. It was premised on this that a 5-man Fact-Finding Panel headed by Professor Michael Ikhariale was set up. In the Panels’ report dated 16th January, 2017, the Panel recommended that Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewunmi had a case to answer. It is instructive to note that the Fact-Finding Panel called the Petitioner and four (4) other witnesses. Dr. Oyewunmi also appeared before the Panel.


It was based on the report of the Fact-Finding Panel that a formal query was issued to Dr. Oyewunmi by Academic Staff Establishment, and the case was thereafter referred to the Joint Council/Senate (Academic) Disciplinary Committee on 3rd April, 2017. The Committee held three (3) meetings in the course of which it interacted with the Petitioner and thirteen (13) other witnesses. The Petitioner and three (3) of the witnesses were in the class of seven (7) of which the Petitioner was the Class Representative. Dr. Oyewunmi also appeared before the Committee.

A key fact as found by the Committee was that:

“In their oral testimonies, Abiodun Davies Alabi aka Abiodun Adebola Jolaosho [the Petitioner], Aderonke BADEMOSI, Abosede Bukola, and Emmanuel ZINSU, all of the 2003 Modular year set of Political Education programme asserted that there was indeed a demand for the sum of Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000) by Dr. Isaac Akinloye Oyewunmi (their subject co-ordinator) to process their results. This was corroborated by Dr. Isaac Oyewunmi in his statement on the audio clip of his recorded conversation with Dr. Abanikanda wherein he stated that: “Mo pada lo ba Alhaji, a jo so, it is a fact”and I went back to M.O.B that, o sele nitoo to” meaning “it happened truly.”


This was the basis of the dismissal of Dr. Oyewunmi for misconduct as it relates to demanding money from students to process their results.

In the case of Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu who was dismissed for misconduct relating to alteration of marks, following information from students that some withdrawn students of the Department of History and International Studies had returned to the University through the assistance of some members of staff, I directed the University Integrated Data Centre (LIDC) to carry out a forensic audit of changes made during the 2015/2016 academic session.

The forensic evidence linked the PF number and password of Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu to the alterations, thus, I directed the Dean of the Faculty to investigate same. The Faculty of Arts set-up a 5-man Fact-Finding Panel on Wednesday 25th January, 2017. I received the Report of the Panel on 27th March 2017. There was a majority Report signed by four (4) members of the Panel (including the Chair, Dr. Abidemi Atolagbe, Associate Professor Department of English). The minority report was issued by Dr. Aboderin-Shonibare, who also happens to be the Treasurer/Financial Secretary of ASUU-LASU. The position of the majority report was that Dr. Adebowale-Suenu had a case to answer. In consequence of this, a query was issued to him on 3rd of April, 2017 by Academic Staff Establishment to explain his involvement in the allegation of alteration of results. He denied the allegations in his response of 5th April, 2017. The case was, thus, referred to the Joint Council/Senate (Academic) Disciplinary Committee.

The Committee interacted with 23 witnesses and also with Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu. The Committee established among others that:

Altered results did not reflect a zero (0) grade point to minimum pass grade of 1.0 or 2.0 in maximum of two (2) courses only as was decided by Departmental Board of Examiners for final year students and stragglers, but, some were changed from zero (0) and other lower grades to 3, 4 and 5 points in one (1) to eight ( courses:

Twelve (12) students classified as withdrawn on the ground of academic weakness, having between four (4) and eight ( outstanding courses had their results in the courses changed to pass grade and their academic status upgraded from withdrawn to good standing.

The changes effected on the withdrawn students were done on 9th and 25th November, 2016 with Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu’s PF number and password.

During his oral testimony before the committee, Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu defended the charges of result upgrade of the twelve (12) withdrawn students by referring to them as mere recommendations for presentation to the Departmental Board but was mistakenly given to the Computer Operator due to his haste to meet a deadline for a trip. Mr. Olawale Oladimeji, the Computer Operator of the Department, however, debunked Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu’s claim. He stated that Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu was seated with him during the correction exercise but left later when the correction had been completed and submitted for uploading. Mr. Oladimeji’s Statement was corroborated by Mr. Olatunde Olatundun, the clerical Staff of the Department.

It was premised on the above misconduct that Dr. Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu was dismissed. By the provisions of the Conditions of Service Guiding Senior Staff of Lagos State University, 2008, manipulation of student’s records and result attracts dismissal as sanction.

That the dismissal of Dr. Oyewunmi and Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu is aimed at weakening ASUU-LASU.
This is far from the truth. From what I have earlier stated, the dismissal of both Dr. Oyewunmi and Dr. Adeyemi-Suenu among others were pursuant to thorough investigation of specific and documented allegations of misconduct. The cases of these two (2) individuals have nothing to do with Union related activities, thus, the University sees the frantic efforts being made by some individuals to make these cases a Union issue as a deliberate ploy to distract and hoodwink members of the public. The Communiqué issued by the Body of Professors and Associate Professors(numbering 47) issued on Friday 15th September, 2017 is a clear indication that the University will not allow our respected Union to be used by few individuals to protect unethical selfish personal agenda.

That the Sack was done so as not to have a dissenting voice when Management finally perfect its plan to increase Tuition.
This is a figment of the imagination of those raising it. The ploy is to use this to incite our world class students to become restive. Our students now know better and will not allow themselves to be used to foment needless crisis. I reiterate again that there is no plan to increase Tuition at the Lagos State University.

Conclusion.
In closing my statement, I on behalf of Council and Management want to thank all media practitioners here present. I plead that in reporting events about LASU; avoid sensational titles that can create unnecessary tension and put the University in crisis. Kindly do remember that we are dealing with young adults who can easily misinterpret a sensational headline. I also want to thank the student body and members of staff of our University for supporting the drive to instill and strengthen discipline, and for their determination to ensure that we maintain the peace that we have in our University. I thank you all.

I saw and read the Bulletin! The website isn't fake!

Lagos State University charges/pays 25k! Where did ASUU get their info from?

Please, did anyone visit the lga today? Any update?

This is stupidity of the highest order! This will only stifle the economy the more due to the fact that the inflation experienced in feb was not money supply induced! The inflation was as a result of the exchange rate vagories! People are already shouting that there's no more in the economy and here's our CBN increasing the MPR! I wonder where they studied their own economics oo! God 'll save our souls!

Yoruba's name for the medical condition is "LAKIRIBOTO". That tells u it exists in our obodo Nigeria!

Saw her scattered body covered on the floor while driving on that road! It was such a gory sight! May her soul RIP!

I think TVC supports APC,has anyone noticed the body language of their presenters lately? Don't wanna mention names but I think APC pays their bills! My opinion!

Quesstion for the successful ones; how much does Jumia pay?

Expired boobs!

This country is damned! Where lies our hope? There's no way we gonna have a credible President in this country. APC just dashed our hope! APC is PDP and PDP is APC. I was thinking Buhari will have the audacity to bring these rogues to book peradventure he becomes the President but with this recent political romance he's likely to just be a tool in the hands of some baggers! Our sufferings continue!
