Better be careful with what you write online against the government, school senate or the president....



PMB is arresting,


UNILAG is rusticating,

JTF is killing.

Much appreciated bro. They can't get me unless they wish to revoke my certificate

You focused on Jaja only. Your title is misleading, please change it.

Wanted it to arrest attention. Don't take offence

The incident strikes me, with the clarity of a yesterday happening, to this day. On a cold, drizzling morning, in the year 2013, someone was trying to leap to his death from a three storey floor. He danced, did a short run and stuck out his tongue. I would have guessed he was just a Creative Arts Student, readying for an event. Then he declared, “I am not afraid of the name of Jesus!” A good number of students began to collect, wondering what he was up to. He said, “I am going to jump.”
“Jump, jump,” his spectators jeered at him, calling his bluff. Then he lifted his bulk over the railing and shook the King Jaja Hall of Residence to its foundation. There was a full- throated roar. Then came the Hall Executives, hurrying to the rescue. I remember tweeting, “Thankful for the morning showers, another student trying to attempt a leap of fate.” The gossip mill began to grind- The boy was insane. What was the cause?
I reckon if the boy had made good his suicide bid, people would have been confronted with the sorry tale of what a good student he was. A student on a good standing. Incidents of many a student going crackers on the eve of examination abound in the University of Lagos. Many would attribute this to over-tasking the brain, reading non- stop day and night, until one can read no more, and the brain becomes toast.
But it is not in every situation that “over-reading” should be fingered as the remote cause of a student’s sudden mental imbalance. There is an incipient drug culture in the University of Lagos, and many a student is tailoring his lifestyle to this phenomenon. Either the school management is not aware, or has decided to look away. A veritable place you find adherents congregated is the notorious LONDON BRIDGE in King Jaja Hall. London Bridge is a thoroughfare linking A-wing to B-Wing. Marijuana smokers meet there on a cold, windy evening. It even has a collage of graffiti stating thus, “in weed we trust, in London Bridge…, Illumnichronic…., Money, Pussy and Weed.”
I have seen students swig beer as they read. Shekpe, Bullet, Alomo. There is the legend of an engineering student who made a first-class. It was said that his consumption of Marijuana accounted for his exploit. He weed whenever he had books to read.
“When you smoke the joint,” said an acquaintance, “It opens the brain to assimilate anything.” He went further to state that, “Marijuana smokers are naturally intelligent. It is good for the body.”
That this school of thought have a good number of students (which makes it a school) cannot be gainsaid. Inasmuch as the exploit of the Marijuana scholar amounts to hearsay, it is to be noted that many a student on the streets of the University of Lagos is not well. What would you say of a stranger who walks up to you, dishes you a slap, laughs and takes to his heels? Can you call a person, “normal” who sings by 3 AM every morning, “There is a fire stirring in my balls” Or “Nobody can do me like you”?
Once upon a time, Barbecue Nights were held by every Faculty in the institution, until the present Vice Chancellor deemed it expedient to do away with it. In those evening functions, weed was like a commodity which demand equalled that of garri. Freshmen had their induction into the sizzling night of the institution for which it is famous. The coaxing of a student by his pals to take weed, spirit or whisky is conventionally geared towards determining how high he can get, and recording his moments of vulnerability. I give an example: A friend who attended one of such, had to be wheeled back. He was deposited in the toilet, and as he vomited and defecated on his body, his buddies took snapshots. I have seen people challenge each other to a drinking match: The last man standing. You are cool if you weed, even if you only do it in a party where it is in supply. But it is gospel that the potency of Marijuana makes for religious users.
However, the University of Lagos, is to be credited for organising symposia against the dangers of drug abuse: OUR DRUG STORY: LIFE AS WE DON’T SEE IT. I trust that the school would address this menace within the shortest possible time.

Photocopy ko easy!!! Wizkid's DNA is a wonderment!!! Lol

You should worry about those in IDP camps all over the nation not Keshi's kids that have enough to fall back on. Why do we keep sponsoring the rich? Serving Nigeria is a privilege and he was paid for his service. I don't have anything against keshi but I know his kids are privileged. You should also know that the soldiers that lost their lives everyday are the breadwinners of their respective families.

like you are a member of Keshi's immediate family

I hate to think that the late Super Eagles Coach,
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi wouldn’t have died if he
hadn’t answered the call to service. But it is quite
logical to nurse this conviction considering the
emotional trauma the Nigerian Football Federation
(NFF) and fans of the national team put him
through. Not too long ago, they would have his
head on a spike because the team failed to qualify
for the African Nations Cup.

These were the same people who lavished
encomiums on him when Nigeria lifted the
continental trophy for a third time. I daresay
Nigerians are afflicted with short memories. This
should explain why someone who lived through the
Abacha’s years would brand the late maximum
ruler “a hero.” (But why am I digressing?)
Now that Stephen Keshi is gone. Premeditated,
hurried and extempore, hearty and half-hearted
tributes keep streaming from fans, friends, hero-
worshippers, and foes , it is imperative to ask what
becomes of his orphans? Are they going to be
abandoned to their fate? Are they going to be well
catered for till the President, Muhammadu Buhari
departs office? Will Nigeria forget them as soon as
the corpse of the late coach is committed to Mother
Earth?

Several years back, I was reading in the Punch
Newspaper, a story about the son of the man who
designed the Nigerian flag, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi. He
was denied a visa even after introducing himself as
the son of maker of our national identity. He
lamented that the country had neglected his father,
in his peril and ill -health. The man who crafted the
FESTAC 1977 Mask had similar tale to tell. Many
veritable examples abound.

This goes to show the viciousness of our affliction
– the affliction of short memory. Interestingly,
Keshi was deprived of his entitlement. If the
government will not make arrangement to improve
the welfare of these great Nigerians, it behoves on
well-meaning Nigerians, the elite, and even those
who have pillaged our commonwealth to come to
their aid.

It is said that football is the only thing that unites
this country. Stephen Keshi, as captain and coach
gave joy to many a young Nigerian. This is a feat
the administration of some past rulers of this
country couldn’t rival. Should Keshi be forgotten?
Should his children be neglected? The answer is a
resounding No!

He has been released

People of Nairaland... Please I need you to trend this issue. Raphael is my course mate. He is our pastor and wouldn't hurt a fly. Now they have been held communicado and are being interrogated. Pls help me beg Seun and his mods to take this to the front page. Help spread the word on twitter. This is a case of unfounded allegations.
Inset- Raphael

I think this knotty issue has been laid to rest by social scientists in one of the ivy-league universities in US. And they found out that men and women have equal tendency to cheat, only that a woman is embedded with more self,-control. Other factors abound anyway

joshrare:
You nailed it bro

Did u listen to pastor david oyedepo jnr message in the last vigil?
He spoke exactly like his father, missing nothing

Seriously, I dey trip for the guy!

No be only you oooh.

They just killed and burnt a human being

Nobody can tear Nigeria apart for this country is bigger than any of these individuals

Doesn't mean they should tie him to that pillar like an outlaw.

God may my life be a quintessential testimony of your grace when I look back at my throwback pictures

This boy talks too much

They will soon turn this picture into a meme

Is GMB referring to the militants who used to kidnap soldiers of the Joint Task Force. This kinda statement dey incite oooh

The guy blew off his lead. Any Winners member knows that Oyedepo doesn't make altar calls for monetary contribution or whatsoever except altar calls for those who want to give their life to Christ. He is that self-sufficient

Pls is the number 014405506.Cos I got a call from this number and simply ignored. Now I don't know if I will get the chance again. Chat!!!

Drkul:
I just rcvd the call, keep your phones close by. Same questions as meetmonde mentioned. Then that they will be in contact to say the final outcome and that the survey is march.
#Onitsha

Congratulation

Taiye4Christ:
@op, I'm sorry for bringing this on your thread. Just needed the opportunity to call his attention.

I am glad you did

These beauties for one baba. Whoever said Girls no like good things

veraponpo:
Thank you for this answer.

The OP contradicted himself because he was just trying to vilify Pastor Adeboye. The truth of the matter is every of his prophecies have come to pass.

You have to witness the healing and miracles that God has wrought through this man of God to move beyond this your level of reasoning.
My major concern is the area of sacrifices that this man has made which people like OP don't always talk about . They always mention his success without mentioning his secret.

Just 2 Saturdays ago, he gave 7 new Toyota Corrola perhaps 2016 model to some members at the annual Ministers meeting. People like you will not see it. He built 3000 capacity home for the fatherless in Ibadan, you will not see that. He gave profisorial bench of N50m to OAU and Unilag , you will not see that. He built cancer screening center worth N100m in Lagos, you won't see it.

Are you aware that he had his PhD in 1974 at 32 and became the HOD of maths department in Iloring before he clocked 36? He sacrificed for him to become a pastor, therefore this your view is zero.

Our Senate embezzled that money #Unilag

Right from my first year, I have had the passive smoking experience. Blessed to have marijuana smokers as roommates back to back. So when they start weeding, I always had to excuse them so I became pastor

Thank you very much @ijewejones I just googled their website... Please Nairalanders keep me in mind
