webcalculator: what is actually going on in the labour market?

i'm a corps member and i want to use this medium to understand better what is actually going on in the labour market.

i graduated from a state university, with a very good honours, and the intimidation i'm getting from my fellow corps members that graduated from federal universities is just unbearable. Inferiority complexes are quietly creepping into my life

when i graduated from secondary school, i had admission in a federal university cum state university. i was offered civil engineering in the federal uni., and electrical in the state. my passion then was to study electrical engineering and i don't want to waste a year, so i choosed electrical and that landed me in a state university.

the shock is that my fellow corps members were like i went to no school, employers don't employe graduates from state universities.

though i know that i'm academically sound, i have developed inferiority complexes. my thinking now is whether i will ever get employed.

please, is it true that employers despise state university graduates?

CrimeAluu4: Police Is Covering up Role In The Killing Says Victims Family. by Adehwale(op): 8:11pm On Oct 13, 2012
It is certainly safe to say that the
last has not been heard of the
brutal killing of Lloyd Michael,
Chiadika Biringa, Ugonna Ubuzor
and Tekena Elkanah, four
University of Port Harcourt
students on October 5th. They
were alleged to have stolen phones
and laptops and they were lynched
and burnt by Aluu community
members. The gory murders,
which have been sending shock
waves all over the world, have
generated a lot of reactions and
continue to do so.
One popular unconfirmed report
has it that the dreaded sect, Boko
Haram, has condemned the
killings. The alleged Boko Haram
condemnation is being spread
alongside comments that Boko
Haram bombings are child’s play
compared to the manner the
students were murdered. As is
usual in such situations, the police
have swung into action and
launched an investigation and even
arrested some suspects.
Fellow students of the dead four
have however not waited for the
police to ferret out the killers before
they sought some sort of justice
themselves. The aggrieved
students swept through Aluu
community in a destructive rage to
at least avenge the murders.
The Paramount Ruler of Omuokiri
community, Chief Hassan Walewa,
has also been in police detention
over the murders and now the
people of Aluu have demanded for
his release. In a press statement
signed by Chief Richard Kalu,
chairman of Aluu Council of Chiefs;
Mr. Emmanuel Wawhor,
Chairman, Ogbakor Aluu and Mr.
Gershon Benson, spokesman of
Aluu community, expressed
surprise that the paramount ruler
of the community is still in
detention till date, adding that they
do not understand the reason for
his continued incarceration.
“We hereby demand for his
prompt release and urge the
security agencies to stop further
harassment, mass arrest of
innocent Aluu people and go for
the actual perpetrators of the crime
and subsequently bring them to
justice.”
In the statement, they also
absolved Aluu indigenes of the
murders, claiming that the
murders were perpetrated by non-
Aluu indigenes. But even as the
police have announced that eleven
out of their thirteen arrested
suspects have been charged to
court, the same police are now
being accused by Mrs Jane Toke
Mike, mother of one of the victims,
Lloyd, of complicity in their gory
deaths. Ibisobia Elkanah, the sister
of Tekena, another of the
unfortunate four, and who is also a
student of Uniport, is also claiming
that she saw a police team at the
murder scene.
Her claim is also collaborated by a
certain George, a friend of the slain
students, who reportedly spent the
night before they were killed with
them at another of their friend’s
house. Speaking with Saturday
Mirror, Mrs Mike said, “The police
are trying to manipulate the
investigation. We were
summoned, I and my husband, to
the headquarters of the Rivers State
Police Command on Moscow Road
to listen to the statement of
Ibinabo, a friend of the murdered
boys brought there by his father.
They brought the boy and asked if
I knew him. I said no, but he said
he knew me. His name is Ibinabo. I
have forgotten his surname.
He is a friend to my son and his
friends. “Ibinabo’s father brought
him to the police station, so they
invited us to hear what he had to
say. When he was explaining, the
policeman questioning him was
just trying to manipulate him,
trying to confuse him, but he kept
saying the same thing.
And what he said was that the four
victims all slept in his house the
night before they were killed. He
said there were five of them who
slept in his house that night, the
fifth being George, another of their
friends. “He said they discussed
that someone was owing Ugonna
some money and he hadn’t paid
and my son said ‘na you no wan
go collect the money na.’
He said that they usually sleep in
each other’s houses. He said his
house gate is normally closed by
11pm, so when it got late, they all
decided to sleep in his house. “The
policeman was then asking him,
‘Did they sleep in the same bed?
How big is the bed? Is it a six-
spring bed?’ I felt irritated as he
continued asking questions that
were tended towards confusing
the boy’s story.” Continuing, she
said, “But where I got really upset
was when he told them that he
had gotten in contact with George
and Tekena’s sister and she
narrated what really what
happened to him.
The police then asked him,
‘Ibinabo, were you interrogating
her or was she telling you?’ He said
she was telling him, and according
to Ibinabo, Tekena’s sister said the
police people were there at the
incident scene.
“The police officer taking his
statement then asked him, ‘Which
police people? What kind of police
people are you talking about that
were there?’ That was when I got
up in anger and left.” She added
that George too has called her on
phone and “told me exactly what
Ibinabo said. So that is really what
happened.
Even George said he was present
when they were beating them, but
when they asked them (the
victims) if they knew George, they
all said no in order to protect him,
because if they said they knew
him, he would have also been
lynched with them.
So they actually saved his life. And
George also told me that he saw
policemen there.” Mrs. Rhoda
Edokpe, Tuku’s aunty, who
accompanied Lloyd’s parents to the
police station, told Saturday Mirror
that “I was downstairs at the police
station and my sister and her
husband were upstairs and I saw
some policemen being told by
another that they should all write
similar statements.
“It was when my sister and her
husband came down and told me
that some policemen from Aluu
community were brought to Port
Harcourt to give statements on the
incident that it occurred to me that
they were conspiring to ensure
that they all wrote the same thing.”
Mrs. Mike added: “When I got to
the scene where my son was killed
that Friday, I stood there and was
singing and praising God, because
the Bible told us to give thanks to
God in all things. But this seeming
attempt by the police to manipulate
the investigation is getting me
angry.
The police are supposed to protect
us, but it appears that they were
there and did not do anything to
prevent the killing of my son and
his friends.” When Saturday Mirror
contacted Mr. Ugwuegbulam,
Rivers Police PRO, he said he was
not aware that Ibinabo was
brought by his father to the police
headquarters to make his
statement, or that policemen
serving in Aluu were summoned
to the headquarters to make
statements about what they knew
about the incident. He however
promised to keep Saturday Mirror
abreast of any new developments.

snatch your phones. These men are
the ones who will catch a thief first
because they are experts in the game
and God help her if she is a female.
The lady in question was caught
stealing, so? What happened to our
Police Stations? Some of us are tired
of talking. ALUU is everywhere.
These sex hungry looking men will
do anything to molest a young lady
at the slightest provocation. They
even went to the extent of inserting
an iron object into her private part.
How barbaric? Is that the

I think all this, including that of Aluu
4 is consequence of broken system.
When the governed lose confidence
in the government institutions that
have various responsibilitie s to
them, and which were meant to
maintain law and order and stipulate
justifiable and acceptable
consequence of any action outside of
the law. When this happens, the
society tends to resort to their own
desired form of prosecuting justice
or respond to whatever incident the
way they deem fit. - Mac N-E

Nairaland GeneralPolice And JTF Watched Helplessly As UNIPORT Students Were Murdered-tony Utana by Adehwale(op): 10:13pm On Oct 10, 2012
The revelation by Tony
Uranta, a public affairs
analyst, today, that two
different patrol teams were
on hand at the scene where
the four UNIPORT
undergraduate students
were murdered, is a clear
indication of complicity and
dereliction of duty by
Nigeria’s security forces. Mr
Uranta confirmed that the
location where the incident
took place was within five
different outposts of police
and JTF.
He further said that the Police
did not attempt to disperse
the crowd before the boys
were killed and left to him the
DPO and others should be
charged to court.
According to Mr. Uranta,
who was a guest on Sunrise
Daily, “the problem we have
in this country is that no
government official can be
charged to court and if the
issue is not properly taken
up he will go on a one-man
protest”.
Mr. Uranta said he was not
pleased with President
Goodluck Jonathan for not
making a mention of the
Mubi or Port Harcourt killings
in his address yesterday and
he felt the president lacked
empathy as the issue of
flood was not the biting issue
as of the time he addressed
the nation and he is sure the
so-called fund being
disbursed for flood disaster
has been penned down for
embezzlement.

CrimeDeported Nigerian Rapes Two Women In Hotel Room by Adehwale(op): 5:49pm On Oct 10, 2012
A Nigerian deported from Republic of
China has been remanded in Kirikiri
Prisons, Apapa, Lagos State,
southwest Nigeria, for allegedly
raping two women in a hotel room
in Lagos.
P.M.NEWS gathered that Ifionu
Anthony from Dunukofia in
Anambra State, southeast Nigeria,
who was deported for an
undisclosed offence, had lodged at
Golden Apple And Suites off Airport
road, Ajao Estate, Oshodi Isolo,
Lagos.
The victims, Blessing Williams, 22
and Mona Adijat, 20, who are staff of
the hotel, alleged that after they
closed for the day and retired to their
staff room to sleep, Anthony entered
their room without their consent and
forced them to perform lesbianism
by threatening them with arms.
The victims alleged that they were
compelled to romance themselves,
lick their private parts and
masturbate while he was watching
and thereafter forcefully had sex with
them in turns.
When asked how the suspect
managed to get into their room, the
victims said that after they retired to
their room, they noticed a man
climbing the fence that separated the
hotel and their staff room.
The victims said they immediately
raised an alarm but he told them that
he only came to discuss with them.
But when they refused to open the
door, he threatened to force the door
open and kill them.
Terrified by his threat, they opened
the door and saw weapons on him
suspected to be guns and knife.
One of the victims said: “He ordered
us to strip naked and romance each
other. He said we should touch each
other’s private parts and masturbate,
while he was watching us do so.
After that he raped us.
“We were shouting but nobody
heard us because there was heavy
rainfall that night. It was when he
was satisfied that he opened the
door and left.”
The victims said when he left, they
ran to Ajao Estate Police station that
night to report the case.
The police thereafter went to his
lodge and arrested him and later
arraigned him in Isolo Magistrate’s
Court Lagos, where he was charged
with assault and rape under sections
305, 168 and 258 of the Criminal
Code Law of Lagos State of Nigeria
2011.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges
and the prosecutor, Mr Onime
Idowu, prayed to the court to note
the seriousness of the allegations
made against the suspect while
considering his bail because he may
jump bail and escape justice.
But the presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.
K. Kumbeje, granted Anthony bail in
the sum of N200,000 with two
sureties in like sum.
The matter was adjourned till 11
October 2012, while the suspect was
remanded in prison custody pending
when he would meet his bail
conditions.

LiteratureExcerpts From Chinua Achebe's Recently Published War Memoir- There Was A Country by Adehwale(op): 9:58am On Oct 07, 2012
“It is my impression that Awolowo
was driven by an overriding
ambition for power, for himself and
for his Yoruba people. There is, on
the surface, at least, nothing wrong
with those aspirations.
“However, Awolowo saw the
dominant Igbo at the time as the
obstacles to that goal, and when the
opportunity arose – the Nigeria-Biafra
War – his ambition drove him into a
frenzy to go to every length to
achieve his dreams.
“In the Biafran case, it meant
hatching up a diabolical policy to
reduce the numbers of his enemies
significantly through starvation –
eliminating over two million people,
mainly members of future
generations.” - Chinua Achebe
More Criticisms trail Achebe’s
comment on Awolowo, Civil war:
Okurounmu: He is unnecessarily
sectional and tribalistic
Babatope: He has no right to
irresponsibly murder history
Olunloyo: Achebe’s action
unfortunate
More criticisms have continued to
trail the comment of renowed
novelist and poet, Professor Chinua
Achebe on the role played by late
Chief Obafemi Awolowo during the
nation’s civil war.
Achebe in his recently published war
memoir, There was a Country, had
accused Awolowo of ethnicity and
selfishness which he said made him
to work against the Igbo race during
the nation’s three-year civil war
which ended in 1970.
Excerpts of the book: “It is my
impression that Awolowo was
driven by an overriding ambition for
power, for himself and for his
Yoruba people. There is, on the
surface, at least, nothing wrong with
those aspirations.
“However, Awolowo saw the
dominant Igbo at the time as the
obstacles to that goal, and when the
opportunity arose – the Nigeria-Biafra
War – his ambition drove him into a
frenzy to go to every length to
achieve his dreams.
“In the Biafran case, it meant
hatching up a diabolical policy to
reduce the numbers of his enemies
significantly through starvation –
eliminating over two million people,
mainly members of future
generations.” These assertions were
yesterday pilloried by members of
Awolowo’s political family and other
prominent Yoruba elders and
opinion leaders.
Speaking in a telephone conversation
with Sunday Mirror, one of
Awolowo’s loyalists and a member
of the pan-Yoruba sociocultural
organisation, Afenifere, Senator Femi
Okurounmu described Achebe’s
position as unfortunate. His words:”I
have read the comments that the
man is said to have made in his
book and from what I have read, I
want to state categorically that the
man was being unnecessarily
sectional and tribalistic.
“It was not about Nigeria’s history
but purely Igbo’s tribalistic point of
view. Because when you have a
war, it is part of the war
instrumentality to employ blockage
of instruments of warfare. To carry
out the blockage against your enemy
so that they don’t get supplies to use
against you.
“So, if because of the blockage you
couldn’t get what you deserved, that
is one of the consequences of going
to war. And that is just the tribalistic
reason upon which the fellow
(Achebe) premised his comment; he
has looked at it from a tribalistic point
of view.
“In any case, how would Awolowo
become president just because they
were killing Igbo? The Igbo who
suffered were the ordinary masses
of the Igbo; the Igbo elite did not
suffer; they were still getting their
foods and feeding fat.
“So it (a Biafran State) wouldn’t have
in anyway affected Awolowo’s
ambition to become president”.
In the same vein, other members
who reacted through an online news
service also condemned the
playwright.
Notably, octogenarian and chieftain
of Afenifere, Chief Olaniwun Ajayi,
described the publication as
unfortunate and an error.
His words: “It is a great error; he
never said anything about what
Awolowo did to prevent the civil
war”.
Also, former Transport and Aviation
Minister, Ebenezer Babatope, noted,
“While Achebe is free to write on any
topic that suits his fancy, he has no
right whatsoever to irresponsibly
murder history by recklessly
attacking a great leader like Papa
Awolowo. Nigerians should expect
detailed, honest, factual and objective
replies to the Achebe nonsense after
we have copies of the book in our
hands.
“This is not the first time that Achebe
will publish scathing attacks on Papa
Awo. He did it in his book written
about 30 years ago titled, The trouble
with Nigeria. The battle against
falsehood has started.”
Maintaining the same position,
former Oyo state governor, Dr.
Omolulu Olunloyo, said, “It is
unfortunate that Professor Achebe
could label Chief Awolowo a tribalist.
Both Awo and Zik were members of
the Nigerian Youth Movement.
“He cannot begin now to blame
Awolowo for the war. Awolowo did
not start the war; rather, he pleaded
against it. The only thing that he said
then was that if, by any error, the
Igbo were allowed to leave the
federation, Yoruba would also leave.
“The civil war was started by the
Igbo. The Igbo, in the course of the
war, killed many Yoruba and Hausa/
Fulani leaders, including Sir Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello,
Chief Ladoke Akintola, Festus Okotie-
Eboh and many officers, including
Ademulegun, Maimalari, leaving out
their own, like Michael Okpara.
“Even while they were in
government, (General Thomas
Aguiyi-Ironsi’s government), the
Igbo spared no thought of freeing
Awolowo who was then in prison.
So, why should the man be now
labeled a tribalist?”
Equally, Save Nigeria Group
spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, noted,
“It is unfortunate that a great man of
letters of Achebe’s status has
descended to the arena of Biafran
propagandists, who are always
ready to sacrifice the truth to achieve
emotional blackmail.
“He has betrayed his intellectual
calling by joining in the circulation of
low quality rumours against Awo. I
had looked forward to reading the
book, but now I doubt if I would
pick up a copy even if dropped at
my gate.”
