The scripture is always right "abstain from all appearance of evil"- I Thessalonians 5:22

As much as I don't believe the story hook, line and sinker as it may just be aimed at "giving a dog a bad name in order to hang him". A person's lifestyle and antecedents has a way of affecting his image in matters like this. The probability of this incident being consensual is high.

Several valid questions have been asked which are yet to be answered. Why did she not shout knowing her sister was around? Why did she remain in the church and eventually got married to the choir master? Why did she wait for more than 15 years? Why is she disclosing it now after the husband has been relieved of his appointment as choir master? This should be an interesting case. Let the courts decide and let's avoid jungle justice.

There are 3 sides to a coin. Politicians have a way of diverting attention from serious issues weekly. Let's see how this turns out.

Our forefathers used to do serious background check before marriage which really helped them. Such questions as "Who are his parents?", "Is there any trace of thieves or mental insanity from their lineage?etc. This really helped their marriages based on their circumstances then. With our westernized lifestyles and little regard to moral values, such news has become very common. Perhaps we might need a scientific solution. We may need to examine the genes of these killer spouses and isolate possible genes responsible. Psychologists may also need to be consulted to examine the person you intend getting married to unknown to him or her.

The rate at which Nigerian women are killing their husbands has grown exponentially and is proportional to the rate of male infidelity and female wickedness all other factors remaining constant

How are the mighty fallen?

Very unfortunate. My sympathies though. However, actors and other celebrities that enjoy a lot of popularity should not take public sympathy for granted. There are so many Nigerians in various professions who are daily making their contributions to national development without any form of recognition and don't seek public sympathy for their personal problems.

Nigerians should also know that popularity may not necessarily translate to wealth and stop having unrealistic expectations on celebrities.

Medals and awards are meant to be displayed. Congratulations Mikel for an illustrious career.

Misleading title. But people are too lazy to read!!!

Its actually a crime to marry the extreme poor. Most are totally undisciplined and irresponsible that led to extreme poverty. You realize they have entitlement mentality, parasitic in nature and not really ready to improve themselves

lefulefu:
exactly! Those risk factors we can control he ought to have mentioned. Like our sendentary lifestyles,high consumption of junk. And besides nigerians consume more of fizzy drinks(soft drinks and fruit juices) than natural fruits. And dese fizzy drinks are even more dangerious. How many nigerians dey consume fruits minus our brothers from the north. We even under consume fruits. Just yesterday evening as i was returning frm somewhere and passing the market i saw a huge pile of dumped oranges and other fruits by the roadside close to the gutter.it was dumped by the market women cos ppl no gree buy.

Also, it is likely the reporting of his lecture may not be balanced. You know how sensational our journalists could be.

lefulefu:
he's diabetic but then can the regular consumption of fruits make a person who isnt diabetic to be diabetic? Now dats d million dolllar question.there are habits and practices that can u type 2 diabetes.adding excessive weight can be one of dem and the constant consumption of fizzy drinks and excessive consumption of junk makes u prone to it. So how can the regular consumption of watermelon,oranges,guavas and apples give u diabetes. He ought to have told us dat.

Several factors ranging from genetics, sedentary lifestyle, overweight, and diet are major risk factors. Depending on one's daily routine, the factor that can easily be controlled is diet.

He didn't say don't eat fruit. He said too much of it. We lost someone some years ago who was diabetic and wrongly advised to eat a lot of fruits.
Prof. Ashiru is a renowned Prof. of Medicine. He became a Professor at 31. He is also one of the pioneers of IVF in Africa along with Prof. Giwa Osagie.
Ignore his advise at your own peril, after all its your body.

My experience is similar to yours. I was best student in primary and secondary schools I attended but graduated with a 2.2 in year 2000. It wasn't easy but with determination and focus I have made considerable career progress as a top academic in a first generation University with a PhD and 2 Masters degrees including professional qualifications. See this as an opportunity to develop yourself. You may consider any of these routes depending on your passion:
I. Postgraduate studies
Ii. Vocational or skills acquisition
Iii. Entrepreneurship
You can also submit your CV to companies that employ 2.2 graduates. There are so many SMEs. Keep spreading your CVs. I'm sure God will help you if you do not despair.

Most successful people have a story of small beginnings except those born with silver spoons. I also sold Okpa,Akara, plantain chips, gala, old newspapers, yam, Plantain, and vegetables when I was growing up. Things were just so difficult for us. To God's glory, I am a Ph.D. holder today and a lecturer in a first generation University. With determination, resilience, well-articulated vision, focus and the grace of God, you can achieve your God-given potentials. God in His infinite wisdom still has a way of rewarding diligence.

ASUU IS NOT ON STRIKE. ASUU IS THE ONLY UNION FOR ACADEMICS IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES. The headline is misleading.

It is better not to comment on something you are ignorant of.

Because you're not aware that most lecturers are senior staff (SSANU)

Congrats to the new VC. He is such a humble man met him when he was dean.

I'm sure she is more confused now after reading through your comments

Senator Ndume was a lecturer here before becoming a politician

Issa Hayatou became CAF president when in my JSS 3. After many years of acquiring all my degrees he is still CAF president fighting to continue. My first child is close to the same age I was when he became CAF president. Thank God for the wind of change.

Our people like distort information. I was there at the lecture. He never said government does not owe you anything. Here are his words. I'm quoting directly from his speech:

"6. Quit whining- No one owes you anything
The Last lesson I want to talk about is the debilitating entitlement mentality that is commonplace among young people today. The earlier we realize no one owes us anything the better for us, and the more prepared we would be to face life's challenges. Don't think you are entitled to a job just because of your parents influence or what they have. Don't think things would be all rosy because you graduated from UNILAG with good grades. Be prepared for surprises and disappointments because life is bound to hand you a couple. The only guarantees you have in life is what you do for yourself with the grace God has bestowed on us all.

You have to be prepared to bend backwards and do what you might consider to be beneath you, because of the bigger picture.When you consider my resume today, you might see the prestigious organizations I have been privileged to work with. What you need to know however is that as a UNILAG graduate and a postgraduate student in the United Kingdom, I have also driven taxis and worked as a security guard, amongst several other menial jobs I did in the past to survive".

What is bad about this statement. It is a convocation lecture and he was giving advice to graduating students. I'm not his fan nor APC supporter . It was an intellectual discourse. He discussed 6 lessons that life has taught him.
1. Knowledge is Power
2. Discipline - Master yourself
3. Adaptability - Be flexible and Dynamic
4. Truly live and follow your passion
5.Seize the moment- and Just Do it!
6. Quit Whining - No One owes you Anything


The press being sensational made the last point a headline

Congrats to the girls.

Readings some comments on this thread makes me feel this generation is worse than the generation of vipers that Jesus referred to in the scriptures.

Focus on her strengths and dwell less on her weakness. DIVORCE IS NOT AN OPTION.SAY NO TO DIVORCE!!!!!!!

At least she is not involved in immorality. You will end up spending more if you divorce her and the new wife will not accept your kids. She will give birth to at least 2 kids, giving you a total of 6 kids.
On her dressing you can buy her the clothes of your choice.

It's unfortunate. I suggest JAMB result should 60% while post UTME should be re-introduced but it should be 40%. The candidates should not be made to pay for post UTME exam. The fees should be built into the fees for JAMB exam. JAMB should have a way of sending the money to the universities.

Only actress and those in entertainment industry on the list?What a wasted generation.

There are quite a huge number of women in industry, business, top professionals, academics ageing gracefully NOT only actresses.

Exposing her pregnancy to mmuo ojo.

Whose responsibility is it to build infrastructure? Government or World bank. She should not play to the gallery.

It's quite unfortunate the academic standards are not exactly the same as pointed out by earlier posts. I've attended 3 different nigerian universities both for my first degree and higher degree programmes. Lack of infrastructure and conducive environment in some federal universities, affect student's performance. I remember getting poor grades in some courses where a single lecturer taught over 700 students without a public address system. Back then we didn't have access to internet facilities and up to date textbooks were not accessible in the library. Then the case of lecturers who were outright sadists. Some of them believed it was impossible to make As in their courses especially those of us that studied engineering.

In some other schools upgrading of students' results is a usual practice. In fact, some departments lobby on behalf of their good students to ensure they graduate with first class honours. Also, some private universities conduct resit exams for students who failed a course and the previous grade erased. These are some of the reasons for disparity in standards.

Meanwhile, someone who was best student in 3 different secondary schools back then graduated
with a 2.2 in engineering. Well, he has gone ahead to prove himself after graduation but the scars of leaving with a 2.2 still remain.

I advise employers' to give people with lower class of degree opportunities to prove themselves.

Well if you have been affected negatively, there is life after school. Strive to be the best in your chosen field. There are no traffic jams when you go the extra mile. It may be tough initially, but in the long run you will succeed.
