A pin drop silence enveloped Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, convocation ground when the news of the death of one of the best graduating students, Bibilari Elebuibon, was announced.

Elebuibon, whose father is a popular ifa priest in Osogbo, bagged the award of best student overall performance in Yoruba Language in the Faculty of Arts at the 42nd convocation ceremony of the OAU. When he was invited to the rostrum by the Dean of Faculty of Arts, Prof. Gbemisola Adeoti, to receive the award, his colleagues were unusually silent. Instead of clapping in anticipation of his emergence from the crowd, the crowd screamed mournfully.

It was at this juncture that the Public Relations of Officer, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, announced that a minute silence be observed in honour of Elebuibon. It was gathered that the late Elebuibon died in an auto crash at Osogbo, capital of Osun State in July. At the convocation, no fewer than 66 students graduated with first class degrees.

The convocation ceremony, which started on Wednesday, also saw 15 students graduate with distinctions from the faculty of pharmacy. The university also produced 1305 students with second class upper; 2127 second class lower; 606 third class and 50 students had pass.

10. This would definitely pass as A but the consonant 'H' in the English alphabet is the only consonant that is allowed to carry both the 'A' and the 'AN', just like the vowel 'U' can sometimes carry or tag along with the article 'A'. EG, He has A UNIQUE point of view.

mind you,the past tense of broadcast is broadcast.there's no such word as broadcasted

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC on Thursday, May 19, 2016, arraigned one Emmanuel Emelife on a 16 count charge bothering on conspiracy, diversion of funds and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N56,000,000.00, before Honourable Justice D. A. Onyefunu of Anambra State High Court, Awka. The case was reported via a petition by Oba Sir Larry Nwagwu who is a member of Uruoji Village Meeting, Nri, Anambra State alongside other concerned villagers alleging that on assumption of office on the 5th of May, 2012, they observed with dismay that the sum of N56,000,000.00 has been plundered by the suspect, the former chairman and his treasurer, Fabian Nwonwu who is now bedridden from Village Meeting accounts domiciled in Nri Micro Finance Bank and Union Bank Awka respectively without due process between January 2009 to December 2011. According to the petitioner all effort made for the suspects to officially handover and render accounts of their stewardship for over twelve years proved abortive. Investigations carried out on the case revealed that there was huge inflow of funds to both accounts following various dues ranging from N15,000,000 to N30,000,000 levied on every adult allegedly for land parcelation and legal fees respectively.

TWITTER REACTS TO LEICESTER CITY WINNING THE PREMIER LEAGUE
By Matthew Judge
Social media exploded after the Foxes were crowned champions following Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Monday, the first title in their history
Twitter went into a frenzy after Leicester City were crowned Premier League champions following Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday night.
Claudio Ranieri needed his former paymasters to do him a favour and ensure Spurs failed to pick up three points in the title race and they duly obliged as the Blues came from two goals down to hold the north Londoners.
And after Mark Clattenburg's full-time whistle sounded around Stamford Bridge and it sunk in that Leicester had pipped Tottenham to the title, Twitter exploded as what felt like half the world took to the platform to congratulate them on their efforts.
We've taken a look at some of the best ones here...
Leicester City. Champions of England.

to the federal government. Amosun and over nine air force
officers are currently under investigation for their alleged
involvement in arms procurement fraud.
According to Sahara Reporters, a source at EFCC who spoke

raised two bank drafts. One draft was N2b while the second
was N300m”.
Amosun who was arrested in January 2016, has forfeited
some of his houses worth N500m to the antigraft agency.
Also $140,000 has also been reportedly recovered from him.
An additional N381m was reportedly seized from his wife
