BREAKING NEWS

EFCC Arrests Obasanjo, Tinubu both to face trial on Monday

It was a mild drama at Murtala Mohammed International Airport today around 2:30am Nigerian time when DSS and EFCC officers arrested former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his way out of the country. The former president who was said to be wearing a white Agbada with a black shoe was arrested by DSS with Hand cuff in his hand the moment he arrived at the airport early this morning. As at time of filing this report, former Governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also said to have been arrested by the DSS in his residence no 26, Bourdilion road, Ikoyi Lagos.

The main reason for the arrest of these two prominent politicians is yet to be known, but our sources has it that EFCC and ICPC has sent different letters of invitation to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and TInubu due to different allegations which was levelled against them but they refused to yield to the invitations.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was said to have been involved in Harllibuton bribery case and according to the on going investigations by the National Assembly on the Power sector, an underground source has it that the former President was said to have embelzzled 570billion naira which was budgeted for the power sector from 2005-2007.

According to our conversation with one of the EFCC officers who refused to reveal his identity, it was stated that Tinubu was said to have embezzled 63billion from 1999-2007 when he was the former Governor of Lagos State. According to the source,Tinubu, his wife and his Lawyer and President Olusegun Obasanjo were said to be on their way but their arrival is yet to be confirmed by the EFCC

The arrest of the two prominent politicians is due to President Muhammadu Buhari's Zero tolerance to corruption and his determination to fight corruption not minding your status.

20 Tips for Engineering Students Getting your engineering degree is a ticket to rewarding careers, and sometimes a handsome paycheck. But before you enter the field as a professional engineer, some serious studying, a few late nights, and a few tips to get you through your first year are in order. Tip #1: Take good notes, and keep them all after your classes are over. Engineering textbooks can be dense, but endure through the tedium. Do your reading – all of it – and keep a highlighter and page markers handy. After the class is over, keep your most useful and well-written textbooks as reference. Your notes, annotations, and highlighting will be invaluable later on. You may even want to keep a “Rules of Thumb” notebook, allowing you quick access to your most-used formulas. Tip #2: Get to know your professors. Develop a relationship with your professors so you feel comfortable approaching them and asking for help. Get to know one or two key professors particularly well, and turn to them for help with your homework, insight into the industry, and even job or program references. Tip #3: Ask questions, both in class and out. Your professors want you to learn. But if the only thing you ever ask is, “Will this be on the test?” then you are not taking advantage of their knowledge or willingness to help. Ask for additional examples to clarify difficult equations and concepts. More often than not, your fellow students will thank you for speaking up, and your professor will appreciate your active investment in the material. Tip #4: Try to solve a problem before asking for help. No one wants to do your homework for you. You’ll be more likely to get help if you’ve already begun the effort. Even if you’re totally lost, make a legitimate, prolonged effort to solve a problem before asking for help. When you do seek help, be prepared to discuss what you tried already, and bring your scratch paper showing your attempts. Tip #5: Form a study group. Working alone can get exasperating if you find yourself stuck on a problem. Working with others will not only introduce other viewpoints to approaching a problem, it will also provide encouragement and camaraderie in the face of frustration. Tip #6: Teach someone else. One of the most effective ways of ensuring you understand something is by explaining it to someone else. Before you move past a subject, make sure you not only answered the question but also can replicate and explain the process. Each new subject and concept will build on the last, so don’t move on until you’ve mastered each new idea. Tip #7: Diversify your engineering classes. Take classes in all sorts of engineering, even if they are not your concentration. Understanding not only the subject matter, but also how other types of engineers approach and solve problems, will lend insight into your own field, from biomedical to mechanical to chemical to environmental engineering and beyond. Tip #8: Take classes outside engineering, particularly design classes. The most successful engineers are insatiable learners, so seek to broaden your skill set generally. A design class can teach you how to represent information visually and how to talk about an idea from a big picture perspective. A writing class can hone your skills for communicating your ideas to others. A business class can prepare you for organizational tasks and leadership roles later in your career. Tip #9: Hone your communications skills, including conversation, writing, and presentation. The best and most innovative ideas in the world have no hope of growing past the drawing board if you are unable to communicate them effectively. And today, most technical communication between team members and leadership happens over email, which is a form of writing. Learn to present an argument simply and without agenda, and always read your emails through once or twice before sending. Tip #10: Learn another language. Engineering knows no political or cultural borders; engineers are in demand everywhere in the world. Increase your worth by becoming proficient in another language, and don’t be afraid to think of your career on a global level. Want to build bridges in China? You should learn Mandarin. Tip #11: Build your portfolio. Participate in as many hands-on projects as possible, especially those outside the classroom. Future employers look for both coursework and relevant experience, and a well-organized and articulate portfolio will be invaluable during your job search. Your practical project experience will also reinforce the “in theory” knowledge you gain in class. Tip #12: Get a summer internship. One of the best portfolio buildings blocks is the summer internship. Internships do more than build your resume; they demonstrate to potential employers that you can commit to a long-term role and work as part of a team. Tip #13: Build your network. Do not wait until you need a job to start building professional relationships. In addition to getting to know your professors and peers, attend extracurricular lectures, workshops, and networking events, and get to know as many people working or studying in your field as possible. Take a genuine interest in the work of others, ask lots of questions, and don’t be afraid to seek guidance or advice from those of advanced experience. They were once neophyte engineers too! Tip #14: Scour the resources of professional engineering associations and companies. Professional engineering associations, such as the National Society of Professional Engineers, are an invaluable resource for jobs, advice, and networking. Identify organizations that share your values and interests, and make as many contacts as possible. Tip #15: Skip the honors class. In the engineering field, your GPA matters. If you struggle in calculus, don’t kill yourself in Honors Calc; take the easier class, learn the material thoroughly, and take the higher grade. Tip #16: Learn when to lead and when to back down. Engineers often work in teams, and every team has one or more leaders. You should feel comfortable in both leading and following the directions of others. Hone your leadership skills and learn how to effectively influence group decisions, but recognize when your contribution should be to take orders and follow direction. Tip #17: Work on the problem before the team meets. The best results occur when a group discusses ideas that have already been fleshed out by individual members. Learn to do your own work and self-motivate. Always arrive at the team meeting with ideas in mind. Tip #18: Be a perfectionist. In the words of one engineer, “In the working engineer world, a 99% correct product can cost millions of dollars in damages.” Adopt the mindset of practicing something until it is perfect, as opposed to going as quickly as possible and settling for a B. When your work is 100%, even if it is slower, it is valuable. Tip #19: Identify your inspiration. What made you decide to study engineering? Who do you look up to in your chosen field? Learn about how individuals and companies have sought and found success, and replicate their behaviors. Tip #20: Take heart and persevere. Engineering is a difficult course of study for everyone, no matter their IQ or test scores. Frustration can lead to feeling like an imposter. Every future engineer has struggled through seemingly impossible problem sets, cranky professors, and gut-wrenching exams. In the face of inevitable small failures, recognize that you are challenging yourself like never before, and push on through the difficult experiences.

TOUCHING STORY A man wanted to get married, but he didn't know whom to marry. So he prayed to God that God should open his eyes or should reveal to him whom to marry. After the prayer, God showed him a poor blind woman in his church, and told him to marry the blind woman. The man refused and still went back to God in prayers, he prayed for many times, and after the prayer, God still reveal the blind woman to him as his wife. So he had no other option than to marry the woman, they fixed a date for their wedding, so it happens that on the day of their wedding, behold! The eyes of the woman opened and she began to see, everybody was happy and some were surprised, and from that day, the spirit of blindness was rolled away from the life of that woman. Note: God knows why he kept you in the condition or in the position you are right now. The enemy can stand against your success, but when God remember you, no demon can stop you. I pray that before the end of this year, God will do a new miracle that will attract blessings in your life in Jesus name. Type Amen with faith...

The next thing I heard "you don't know what to say to me" she said. It was embarrassing to me. At the end of everything, i voiced out delightful words. We are good friends now.
