The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress
for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria
Peoples Party (ANPP) have dissolved into the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
The Chairman of the 89-member Merger Committee
of the parties, Chief Tom Ikimi, told reporters in
Abuja on Wednesday that the merger was in keeping
with the conditions for registration by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said: “I am pleased to report that we have made
appreciable progress. The three parties have fused
into one, adopted one symbol, accepted one slogan, a
common manifesto and a single constitution.”
According to him, the leadership of the merger
parties will now pursue the registration of APC with
INEC so that the new party will be able to field
candidates for the next general elections.
Ikimi said the party’s leaders would iron out the
issue of interim national officers, as demanded by
INEC.
He expressed satisfaction with his committee’s
assignment since its inauguration on February 6.
According to him, the new political association will
provide Nigerians with an alternative platform of
change if registered.
He said the committee, which included factions of All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the
Democratic People’s Party (DPP), met consistently to
actualise the dream.
“The merging parties have held successful
conventions in Lagos, Abuja and Guasu. They
approved and accepted the name APC, and now
these three parties have merged.
“We believe that we have completed the assignment
that brought us here,” Ikimi said.

Four suspected members of a cult group and a
security man at a private polytechnic in Ekiti State
have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping a
student of the institution.

The rape victim (name withheld), who is an ND 1
student of the polytechnic, told PUNCH Metro at the
Ekiti State Police Command headquarters in Ado
Ekiti on Wednesday that the suspects stormed her
room, tied her up and took turn to rape her.

The four suspected rapists are Kunle Aralepo 20,
Oluwaseun Akomolafe, 23, who are ND II students of
Business Administration and Kehinde Adeyemi and
Ayo Olomola, who are on the run.

The victims added that one of the boys had asked
her out and she refused.
She also accused one of the security men in the
polytechnic, Mr. Seyi Adanbioje, of raping her the
same day at his residence.

The victim said the Chief Security Officer of the
school directed Adanbioje to take her to police
station to make an official report of the rape case.
She said after leaving the station, the security man
took her to his residence and also forcefully had sex
with her.

The security man, however, denied raping the
female student. He explained that he granted the girl
an "asylum" because she said she could not sleep
alone in her house.

He said, "She could not sleep alone because she was
afraid that those who had earlier raped her might
come back again."

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor
Babayemi, who paraded the suspects, said police
investigation had shown that rape cases had been
rampant at the institution.

He said the police were still probing such cases of
rape and why they were not reported to the police.
Babayemi said the police would thoroughly
investgate the fresh rape incident and allow justice
to take its course.

The PPRO said, "A group of four young men namely,
Aralepo Kunle, Akomolafe Oluwaseun (both ND II
Business Administration students), Kehinde
Adeyemi and Ayo Olomola, aka AY Bishop, who was
expelled from the school in March for rape went to
the house of a female student of the polytechnic,
broke her door to gain entry, tied her hands and legs
and gang-raped her.

"They also robbed her of her phone and the sum of
N5,000.00. A security guard at the polytechnic, Seyi
Adanbioje, 28, was also found to be part of the
gangsters. He was told to take the girl to the police
station and make a report but he took a detour to his
house, where he also raped the victim."
He said medical report confirmed that the victim
was raped.

In a similar case, the police said the proprietor of a
private primary school, Mr. Ibitoye Babatunde, who
was arrested for allegedly raping an 11-year-old
pupil of his school, had a case to answer.
Ajibade, who denied the accusation, said a man who
saw him while entering into a bush to defecate
demanded money from him and he threatened to
deal with him if he refused.

He said he refused and the hoodlum raised the
alarm which attracted a crowd.
But the PPRO said the medical report confirmed that
the girl's hymen had been broken.

The police also paraded two commercial
motocyclists (okada riders), who were accused of
raping a young lady.
The PPRO said the suspect – Babatope and
Oluwasusi Tope- gave the girl a free ride and took
her to another place where she was raped.
In a related development, the police also said that a
17-year-old boy had been arrested for defiling a
three-year-old girl.

At least 11 persons have been confirmed dead after gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram attacked a secondary school and a military check post in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, military and witnesses said.

The spokesman of the Military Joint Task Force, JTF, in Yobe State, Eli Lazarus, confirmed the incident, which took place on Sunday night.

The attack was the first in the last nine months in the city, which is now under a dusk to dawn curfew. The attack also comes despite the heavy deployment of soldiers after the emergency rule declaration in the state.

Mr. Lazarus said two teachers and seven students lost their lives during the attack on Government Secondary School, Damaturu, while soldiers also killed two of the attackers.

Three soldiers were critically injured in the nocturnal clash that lasted over five hours, even as soldiers said three of the suspected Boko Haram members were caught alive and are currently in the custody of the security.

A doctor in the city's General Hospital, Salem Umar, told Journalists that eleven corpses were brought to the hospital when he was on duty on Sunday.

"We had six other students admitted with various degrees of injuries and they are currently receiving treatment at the Accident and Emergency ward", said Dr. Umar.

Witnesses who would only speak on the condition of anonymity told reporters that the gunmen stormed their hostels few minutes after 9 p.m. on Sunday and started shooting. They said scared students were forced to flee for dear lives.

"They caught some of our student colleagues and ordered them to take them to the teachers' quarters after which they were also killed thereafter," said one of the students who seemed broken and survived by hiding under a dormitory bed.

Go Nigeria.........

She looks so much younger! 'A rare gem flying her
husband's flag even after his death', that's the
description that best suits her. Fifteen years after
the death of Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Margaret
Benson-Idahosa, the Archbishop of the Church of
God International, who She turns 70 on July 29, has
remained a symbol of grace and her strides have
remained a proof of the power of faith.
In this interview, Archbishop Margaret
Idahosa who was in Lagos for her annual
Christian Women Fellowship International- CWFI,
shares memories of her husband and childhood
amongst sundry issues. Excerpts:
How does it feel to be seventy? You look younger
than that to me… I feel the same on the inside of me.
Although I cannot jump, dance and move like I used
to, I know all of that come with age. One thing I know
has been the secret of my peace is the fact that I do not
hold grudges against anyone. When you offend me, I
open up to you and forgive you. You see, forgiveness
is not loss of memory but memory without want of
vengeance, and that's what I have on the inside of me
because I'm preparing myself for heaven. I've been
through a lot in this life and cannot afford to miss
heaven.
Fifteen years ago, your being handed the mantle of
leadership of your husband's church attracted a
lot of criticisms from all sides; how have you
managed since then?
One thing my husband taught me to understand is that
people will always talk about anybody as long that
person has the breath of God in his or her nostrils. But
he always told me: "If you talk back to them, it means
you're on the same level." So, whatever anyone says, I
commit to God because He put me in this position.
When my husband died, I had my own agenda. I have
four biological children and three others whom I
adopted. I understood I was living in a man's world,
so, I began planning how I would manage my life after
my husband's funeral.
My first plan was to go spend three months with my
son in the UK, spend three months with my first
daughter and then with my third child before
returning to Nigeria because my fourth child was still
schooling at home. My plan was to travel round to my
children's places and maybe come to Nigeria once a
year to see my mother and others. The ministry was
not in my agenda. So, when I was put in this position, I
cried to God about how timid I was and how male
dominated the world was, but God did not answer
until I had made up my mind. He said to me:
"Margaret, I'm not moved by tears or your needs, but
by faith. If your faith says yes, I God will not say no".
I therefore began building my faith by reading books,
praying, acting and all. One day, He spoke to me
again, saying, "If I made the appointment, I will
release in you the ability to perform and excel". That
he has actually done all this while. If you look at the
Church of God Mission, you'll find that I'm not the best
preacher. There are some that are fire-brands and
whose sermons could make the heaven kiss the earth.
But God has been gracious to me.
Rev. Idahosa At this point, do you feel fulfilled? I
feel fulfilled in the sense that I'm doing what God
asked me to do. I feel fulfilled because I'm not copying
anybody. I feel fulfilled because my children are all in
the ministry. I have seen some pastors praying for
their child to come to God, but I look at my children
and glorify God because they discovered God on their
own; not because of whom their father was or what I
have done. They discovered God by themselves, and
that's the most precious thing God can do for a
preacher; for the children to discover the God of their
fathers and stand firmly to defend that God. I'm
confident that even when I'm no longer here, they can
stand until Jesus comes.
What went through your mind when your husband
passed-on; didn't you feel like suspecting anyone
because of the suddenness?
We both went to the United States but on our way
back, he told me to go visit the children in the UK and
take care of their fees. Two days after, I was told he
passed-on! It was a big shock! Early in that year
however, sometimes in January, he told me:
"Margaret, I now live for posterity, not prosperity,
because I have all I need. Now, I live for people and
what I can be remembered for." I was dazed and
advised him to go on vacation for a rest.
In February which was his 40th year into the ministry,
he called me and said: "Margaret, I think I have
finished everything God asked me to do". I argued
with him that one does not finish the work of God, but
later in February, he repeated it again, and I became
more worried because I believed God promised old
age. He was supposed to be 60 in September that year
and I didn't want to agree that he was going to leave at
that age. He passed on March 12. It was when I came
to terms with the news of his death that I remembered
he had said it earlier.
What do you miss about him? Everything; his care,
concern, love, messages, standing for people and the
nation. I miss everything about him.
What attracted you to him? I'm an only child and I
was always fighting in the streets and at school. My
mother made new uniforms for me almost every
month because my uniforms always got torn after
every fight. I actually stuttered and because I could
not express myself, I got used to using my hands
(fighting).
My husband was living in the neighbourhood and
would always come to settle my fights and counsel me
against fighting. But as time went on, I took him as a
brother because I had none. I even went as far as
trying to choose a wife for him amongst my friends;
but he told me he didn't want a wife. I actually didn't
see anything in him; he had only a bicycle and was
living in a rented room and parlour apartment.
But I just liked him because he stood by me as a
brother(I actually referred to him as bro), especially
whenever I entered into trouble on the streets. He
came eight years after to say he wanted to marry me,
and when I finally accepted, we settled down. At that
time he was a deacon.
You were relatively young when he passed on .What
effect did it have on you? My husband departed this
world when I was 55 years old. Today I am 70 years.
God has helped me since my husband passed on; I
have never lust after any man. I had my husband and
enjoyed him. It is now time to focus on God's
assignment than re-marrying. There have been men
who wanted my hand in marriage, but I declined.
Some would say, 'Mama, you are looking good'. I
always tell them, 'thank you', and that the way they
see me has been through the backing of the Holy
Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that rejuvenates me. If you
believe in the Holy Spirit, He will rejuvenate you.
You are the Chancellor of Benson Idahosa University.
How have you been able to successfully run the
university and manage church affairs
Running a university is not an easy task. When my
husband died, the university was not fully accredited
then. We had to work on our programme. We were
able to comply with rules, regulations and policy of
the National University Commission.The university
was approved by the Federal Government in 2002. For
a state to even run a university, it is not an easy task,
not to talk of an individual. We thank God that the
foundation of our university is based on God .When
God gives a vision, he will also make the provision.
We want to thank God that the foundation of our
university is based on God.
Is it Biblical for women to lead a church the same way
men do? God is not mad at men and women according
to Gen.1:28-29,men and women were created by
God ,God gave both of them authority; not the man
alone, to go and dominate and multiply. You can
multiply by the Word of God or biologically. It is
religion and tradition that relegated the woman. The
mind of God is that men and women work together
amicably.
Before God ,there is no difference but, traditionally,
we have difference. If a man can fulfill the gift in him
from the foundation, why can't a woman as well? God
has called the man and the woman. So, God is not mad
at the man preaching and the woman also preaching.
The Restoration Center ,which is the Christian Women
Fellowship International, was ordained by God. If God
gives you a vision, He will bring people around to
provide for the vision. God has been very faithful.
When He gave us the name, He did not tell us the ups
and downs on the way. Everyday when we come
together as a body to worship, God opens a little more
about the vision. We have trained many women and
empowered them.
What informed the establishment of Word of Faith
Group of Schools? How do you react to the opinion
on the establishment of schools by churches as an
avenue to make money?
It is true that Word of Faith Group of Schools is owned
by us and it is a fact that money is coming in from it
now. But don't forget that before we established it,
funds were injected into it. We spent money to build
the school, paid teachers and provided incentives to
the management in one way or the other. We
laboured to put the school in shape. It is just now that
money is coming. But the purpose of establishing the
school is not to make money but to train children from
the cradle. Benin was not what it is today. At that time,
it was called the City of Laws. If a native doctor told
you to fulfill an appointment by 2pm, you had to be
there. When the real gospel came, we let men and
women know that God is not a killer.
God wants you to give your heart to Him and He will
protect you and your children. We have seen a lot of
changes. Then, I looked at our children and told
myself that, in 20 years time, our children should be
able to contribute their quota to the development of
the nation. This informed my vision to establish Word
of Faith Group of Schools. I think it is better that we
have the spread of schools than spreading the gospels
of Sango, Ogun, Orunmila. When a child is developed
mentally, he or she can become anything in life. So,
our school is Christian-based. Whatever comes from
the school is invested in the ministry.
One can see you functioning as a full-time minister
of the gospel and a mother at home, two poles
apart. How have you been able to cope especially
as a widow?
I am able to function because I work with a team of
men and women who believe in the vision that God
has given to us. As you said, we have churches,
schools, a university, a Bible school, a hospital and
international leadership institutes. By the grace of
God, any moment from now, the churches will have
different bishops. I have one of the bishops seated
with me here. He is in charge of our finance and
budget. So, I don't have to disturb myself on that. He is
specially trained for that purpose.
The bishop in charge of administration is also here.
He directs the affairs of the church. We have different
bishoprics; so I don't have much to do. It is once every
two, three months that we come together to rub minds
on our strengths and weaknesses and how to improve
and move to the next stage. I believe strongly in team
work. Everything we have today is as a result of team
work.
I have an office in the church. I do my work; when it is
time to go home, I go and do domestic things. For
example, I have a baby who is my seventh grand
child. When I was ready to come to office for this
interview, the mother, my daughter, came and said
she brought the three-month-old grand child to play
with me. I told her I was going to office for an
appointment with journalists. That is why I came a
little bit late. And soon as I am through here, I am
going back home to attend to the grand child. So, you
can now see that when I am home I am a mother and
grandmother. I don't allow the work of the ministry to
bog me down as a mother at home.
What do you cherish most as birthday gift? Last
month, we had a Council of over 300 pastors meeting.
I overheard them making big plans for me but I told
them I would be 70 years. Number one, I don't need a
husband. I had one, I enjoyed him. Two, I don't need
biological children again. God gave me seven
children. I don't need a house because I live in a
palace. To maintain the house per month costs more
than 50,000 naira. One thing I want as birthday gift is
how to move Benson Idahosa University from the
temporary site to the permanent site and I believe
with the support of all of you this will be achieved
There is a saying that women are to be seen and
not to be heard. What is your opinion and what
really equipped you as a successful female
minister?
Women to be seen but not to be heard is an old adage.
We let women know that they must be seen and they
must be heard. However, I am not asking women to
usurp authority of men because God made the man
the head of the home, if the head of the home is acting
in terms of the provision, caring, educating, etc, there
is no need for the woman to usurp his authority.
But that which God has embedded in you is
important. God put you there for your home the and
others around you in the community to enjoy you.
Don't die with the gift which God has given you. Do
your bit at home, do what your husband loves you
doing. But do not die with the gift which God has
given you.
Myler Monroe said there is a place on this planet earth
that is very rich which is the cemetery, retains gift that
were buried and songs that were never sung.
The source of my success is God, the Holy Spirit. The
first thing I do every moning is to sing love songs to
God. He rejuvenates me. It is not that I don't have
challenges but I don't allow the challenges to weigh
me down. So I preach to women, don't let problems
overwhelm you, dominate problems.

Yeye people.

Signs of end time!

Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and his Plateau State counterpart Jonah Jang, are poised for a fresh test of their claim to the leadership of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) after Jang summoned a meeting of the governors

He wants them to discuss the stalemate over the monthly Federation Account Allocation. State Commissioners for Finance had walked out of the FAAC meeting on Thursday in Abuja. Jang is disputing last month's election of Amaechi for a second term as chairman of the NGF.

The Rivers governor defeated Jang by 19 to 16 votes. Jang, however, insists that he emerged by consensus having been endorsed by the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF). Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the pro-Jang forces in the presidency are taking advantage of the governors' desire for cash flow to encourage the Jang faction to summon a meeting of the NGF.

It was gathered that the forces in the presidency designed the plot to prove that Jang is actually in control. The factional meeting is also meant to finally determine the loyalty of the 23 PDP governors by the presidency and deal with the rebellious ones. But pro-Amaechi governors have made up their minds not shun the meeting because Federation Account Allocation Meeting is not within the purview of the NGF.

Findings have also confirmed that President Goodluck Jonathan may receive the Jang faction in audience on Monday under the pretext of seeking the NGF's position on the revenue sharing crisis. A source said: "The Presidency wants to use Jang faction's meeting to prove that it is backing this camp.

It is obvious that the meeting is at the instance of the forces in the Presidency. "They are desperately trying to secure the presence of at least 20 governors at the meeting because they were hurt that only 16 governors attended the inauguration of Jang faction's secretariat of the NGF in spite of the alleged claim that Jang won the election.

"They have not been able to get up to 18 governors as at press time to undermine Amaechi. But they are unrelenting in their plot. They said they are out to seal Amaechi's fate. "For PDP governors, especially those from the North, it is a booby trap to test their loyalty and determine who they voted for at the NGF election.

"This will enable the PDP leadership to deal with them including the hijack of the party structure from the rebellious governors and their godfathers ahead of 2015 poll." A governor, who spoke in confidence, said: "As part of the secret agenda of Jang's meeting, the factional NGF will later be hosted by Jonathan in order to confer legitimacy on Jang's leadership.

"Already, governors in Jang's camp are aware of the plot to visit the Villa on Monday for legitimacy. The itinerary is known to only a few strategists of Jang. But the governors loyal to the authentic chairman have vowed not to attend the session convened by Jang.

Another source added: "They are joking, they will fail in their bid to give NGF leadership to Jang through the backdoor. "Most of us will stand by the mandate we have given to Amaechi because he was duly elected. We will make sure they do not have the number. They want to be defeated the third time."

No progress in health, family moves to bedside
SOUTH AFRICA has stepped up security at the
hospital where former President Nelson Mandela is
hospitalised.
On Tuesday, armed security operatives stood guard
outside and incoming vehicles and pedestrians were
searched amid a heavy media presence.
Mandela shows no sign of improvement as he battles
a lung infection in a Pretoria clinic where he was
admitted four days ago.
A report by Agence France Presse (AFP) quoted a
statement by President Jacob Zuma as indicating
that the anti-apartheid icon remained in “serious but
stable” condition while being treated in intensive
care.
Amid the growing fear about the 94-year-old’s
condition, family members were seen entering the
Mediclinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria to be at his
bedside.
Around a dozen armed policemen stood guard
outside the Mediclinic Heart Hospital in the capital
where the 94-year-old remained in “serious but
stable” condition.
Mandela, one of the greatest figures of the 20th
century, is being treated for a recurrent lung
infection that medical experts said could be life-
threatening.
Tuesday marked 49 years to the day since he was
sentenced to life in prison in 1964 for conspiring to
overthrow the apartheid government.
Mandela spent much of the subsequent 27 years
behind bars on wind-swept Robben Island, near
Cape Town, where he contracted tuberculosis.
His latest health scare has been met with prayers
and a growing acceptance among South Africans
that their hero, who became the first black leader of
the country after historic all-race elections in 1994,
may be nearing the end of his life.
In Pretoria, police cordoned an area in front of the
private specialist facility.
“They are there to protect the members of his family
who come to visit him,” a police sergeant told AFP,
asking not to be named because Mandela’s location
has not been confirmed by the government.
On Monday, the arrival of his former wife, Winnie
Madikizela-Mandela and the couple’s daughter,
Zindzi, prompted a scuffle between security and
photographers camped outside the clinic.
Madikizela-Mandela became a global political figure
in her own right while campaigning for her
husband’s release from prison.
His current wife, Graca Machel, called off a trip to
London last week to be with her ailing husband .
Little information has been released about
Mandela’s condition, but he has a long history of
lung problems since being diagnosed with early-
stage tuberculosis in 1988.
It is the fourth hospital stay since December for the
Nobel Peace Prize winner and father of the
“Rainbow Nation”.
Two months ago Mandela, who will turn 95 next
month, was discharged following treatment for
pneumonia.
In December, he underwent surgery to remove
gallstones as he recovered from a lung infection. In
March, he was admitted for a scheduled overnight
check-up before returning later that month for 10
days.
“Pneumonia is a killer disease,” said Prof. Keertan
Dheda, the head of pulmonology at the University of
Cape Town.
“In Mr. Mandela’s case, besides age, we know that he
has previously had tuberculosis and that can weaken
the lung defences and make one more prone to
infections,” he said.
“Secondly, we know that Mandela worked in the
quarry on Robben Island for many years and he has
been chronically exposed to dust, from crushing
rocks and we know that also is a potent suppressor
of your efficient lung defences.”
But Dheda said assurances that Mandela, once a spry
boxer, was breathing on his own indicated that the
infection had not yet led to serious lung failure .
Access to the revered statesman has been restricted
to close family members.
In late April, Zuma and top party officials were
photographed with an unsmiling Mandela looking
exceedingly frail at his Johannesburg home.
The visit prompted allegations that the embattled
ruling party was exploiting Mandela for political
gain.
The ANC - facing 2014 elections - has lost much of its
Mandela shine amid widespread corruption, poverty
and poor public services.
Mandela has not been seen in public since the World
Cup final in South Africa in July 2010, and has not
been politically active for years.
“I think there will be concerns from outside South
Africa that Mandela is seen as the glue that holds
South Africa together,” analyst Daniel Silke told AFP.
“But I think that this is something long gone frankly.”
After serving just one term as president, Mandela
turned his energy to the battle against AIDS and to
conflict resolution, before stepping out of the public
eye a decade ago at the age of 85.
His hospitalisation has prompted an outpouring of
well wishes from around the globe, including from
fellow Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond
Tutu.
“We offer our thanks to God for the extraordinary
gift of Mr. Mandela, and wish his family strength,”
Tutu said in a statement from his foundation.
“As the beloved father of our nation... once again
endures the ravages of time in hospital, our prayers
are for his comfort and his dignity.

A foremost kingmaker and Aro of Akure, Chief Adeyemi Adedipe, died of pancreas cancer in Akure on Monday, barely a year after he ascended the throne of his ancestors.

Adedipe, who was also a former publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state had also served on the board of Federal Roads Maintenance Agency.

A family source told journalists that the fourth in rank to the Deji of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida and who was one of the Iwarefa mefa (kingmakers) had been suffering from pancreas cancer for almost a year.

He said the former PDP chieftain had visited many hospitals and was allegedly given a wrong diagnostics.

He was said to have collapsed in his palace where he was rushed to an hospital.

He eventually died in the early hours of Monday but the Aro palace refused to make his death public because some traditional rites had to be carried out before the formal announcement.

The traditional rites, according to a source, would be carried out on Tuesday (Today) while the late Chief would be buried on Wednesday.

This Reuben Abati talks too much.

I suggest that all the bear and wine bars inside Aso Rock should be close.

This man is HIGH!

Lagos State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has
signed the state's Cremation Bill into law.
While signing the bill on Monday at Lagos House,
Ikeja, the governor explained that the cremation law
is voluntary, adding that its enactment showed how
the concept of globalisation has taken its roots in the
state.
Fashola said, "We commend members of the state
House of Assembly for responding to global
yearnings. Their zeal in passing the bill also shows
that cremation is the best way to go."
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr.
Ade Ipaye, said the law only provided for voluntary
cremation.
He said, "It is voluntary in the sense that it allows for
voluntary cremation, whereby a person may signify
interest to be cremated when he dies or a deceased's
family members who must attain the age of 18 years
can decide to have the corpse cremated.

gbanikiti: I don't know why most state governments cannot provide hostel accomodation for students in the school premises.from LASU to IMSU to ANSU,all operate off campus system.even some federal universities who have on campus system lack basic amenities.no security for students either.very pathetic!

STOP BLAMING THE GOVERNMENT.

Try and visit the school hostels, i believe there will be a lot of vacant room there.

RIP to the dead...
