The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Ekiti State University Chapter has embarked on a warning sitting-strike which commences today.

The strike is as a result of non-payment of their January and February salaries.

CLOUD GOSSIPS gathered that students and some Lecturers are in the school but no sign of any lecture today.

The strike is meant to end hopefully on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the school exam is scheduled to start on Monday, 9th of March, 2015

Help me please!

I had some people said First Class is their God's will for them.

However, I'm having a strong feeling that Third Class is the will of God for me.
Can this be true?

Please, I'll appreciate if you answer with a Scriptural reference.

Thanks!

May God save Nigeria.
Amen.

This article was originally scheduled for publication
AFTER the forthcoming election in Nigeria. I did
not want to be accused of influencing voters in a
particular way. But upon further reflection, it
became clear to me that I was actually trying to
dodge the persecution that trails the path of
anybody that dares to speak the truth. And at our
present crossroads, the Church in Nigeria needs to
hear the truth, however unpalatable. For the
Church is in the danger of being used as a political
tool by Christian leaders with ulterior motives. For
reasons of objectivity and transparency, it is
necessary for me to make the following disclosure.
(DISCLOSURE: I am a passive observer of the
political process in Nigeria. I have absolutely no
interest in ANY political party whatsoever. And I
will NOT vote at the election because I live outside
Nigeria at the moment.)

As a Christian, I believe that it is both sacrilegious
and highly immoral for ANY MAN to use the name
of the Lord, or God’s platform, to influence people
to vote in a particular way that God Himself has
not expressly commanded or revealed. All those
involved in such things will give account for abuse
of office when they stand in judgment.
Sadly, the leadership of the Church in Nigeria has
shown open partisanship in the current election.
And this partisanship is based on a tissue of lies
and distortion of the Bible. On the basis of this
falsehood, a large section of our Christian
community is being led to vote for incumbent
President Jonathan – simply because he is a
Christian, and the other candidate, a Muslim. In the
name of the Lord, voters are being urged NOT to
give due consideration to merit or performance, but
to vote PURELY on the basis of religion!
The foundation of this plot was laid about ten
months ago by one Pastor Bosun Emmanuel (PBE)
in a widely circulated audio message alerting the
Church about a credible plan to Islamise Nigeria by
registering the nation in the Organisation of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC). In the passionate message, he
also raised a lot of crucial issues pertaining to the
current state of the Church in the nation – how we
have stopped raising disciples for Christ, how we
have become focussed on the so-called ‘prosperity
Gospel’, how we are neglecting the poor in our
midst (particularly our persecuted brethren in the
northern part of the country), how the nation is
decaying because the Church is neglecting her
responsibility, etc. The message was a stirring call
to repentance, and it spread widely among the
Christian community. Personally, I reproduced and
distributed over 100 copies of the audio CDs both
in Nigeria and outside the country.

Beyond this noble aspect of the message, PBE also
planted some insidious seeds of politics. He told us
that President Jonathan was planted by God in
Aso Rock for a divine purpose. He told us that
APC is a party that has an Islamic agenda, and
urged us to vote in Christians as our political
leaders. He pointed to Turkey and similar nations
that had become Islamised because the Christians
in those nations were not watchful as Islam spread
its tentacles across Europe and Africa. He
concluded by warning us that Christianity will be
wiped off in Nigeria if the Church did not urgently
rise up to begin to check the rise of the Islamists
and their agenda in our political development as a
nation. It was a sobering message. And a lot of us
believed him.

But with the benefit of hindsight, it is now clear
that beyond the matters of faith he raised, PBE’s
message was ALSO designed to turn the Church of
Christ in Nigeria into a political association that
can be centrally controlled. Controlled by the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and its
leader, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, whose virtue as an
exemplary Christian leader he extolled very highly.
Building on the foundation of that crafty message,
the Church is now being told that any Christian
that votes for APC is ‘using his thumb to dig the
grave of the Church in Nigeria’!!! And, like puppets,
untold numbers of Christians have bought into this
huge deception without thinking it through! They
have been taught to shut their minds to the
failings and corruption of the present
administration, and vote them in again in a bid to
preserve the Church in Nigeria! What a lie! What a
grand scheme of deception!

NOBODY CAN DIG THE GRAVE OF THE CHURCH
BY VOTING FOR A MUSLIM. The Church of God is
first and foremost a spiritual entity, and thus it is
indestructible by human agents. God DOES NOT
need a Christian to be in political authority before
His will can be advanced in any society. God does
not rule through the ballot box! In His sovereignty,
He can use ANYBODY (Christian, Muslim, Hindu,
Atheist, etc) to accomplish His will at any time,
and at any place. God is indeed sovereign in the
affairs of mankind.

Unwittingly, PBE also confirmed this in his
message. He asked his audience, “Who is the best
Head of State that Nigeria has ever had?” Many
people mentioned Christian ex-Heads of State, but
PBE disagreed. He said the best leader we have
ever had is General Sani Abacha – a Muslim. He
went on to tell us how God used Abacha to break
a national curse over the leadership seat of the
nation, and said that was the MOST significant
event in the political destiny of Nigeria.

If that is true, let us ask ourselves some questions:
Who engineered that event? Obviously, GOD. Who
did He use as a tool of fulfilment? Abacha – a
Muslim! Does this same God still not reign? Has
He stopped using ANYBODY as He wills? PBE even
pointed to his audience that General Gowon, a
Christian, did great harm to the cause of Christ in
Nigeria because He converted the Christian schools
in Nigeria to secular, state schools.

So, brothers and sisters, furthering the cause of
Christ in any society is not about the person in
power – IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PERSON ON THE
THRONE IN ETERNITY! And all He seeks are men
and women that will obey Him on earth. God does
not seek/need our political power or authority to
achieve His purpose!

The reason that Christianity fell in Turkey (and
similar places) was not because Islamic
fundamentalists rose up in influence or power – it
was because Christ DID NOT HAVE FAITHFUL
DISCIPLES ON THE GROUND. Where faithful
disciples exist, Islam CAN NEVER quench the
eternal flame of the Gospel. Never, never ever!
The Gospel can ONLY be extinguished in any
society by the One that lit the flame – Jesus
Christ Himself. And please note this: Jesus can put
off the flame of the Gospel in ANY society when
His followers refuse to turn to Him with all their
hearts. We see this most clearly in Revelation 2:5,
“… repent …if not, I will come to you and remove
your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.”
Those were the exact words of Jesus to the
Church of Ephesus – I WILL REMOVE YOUR
LAMPSTAND! It is only AFTER Christ has
extinguished the flame of the Gospel in any
environment that Islamists (or any agent that
satan wants to use) can move in and completely
take over. In such situations, ignorant people will
think it is the political power (or brute force) of
Islam (or whichever enemy) that gives them
victory over the Church. This is blindness! It is
actually God, though Christ Jesus, that is in FULL
CONTROL.

Evidence of this abounds in the Scriptures. Jesus
gave an evaluation of the seven Churches of Asia
in the letters we read in Revelation 2 & 3. Of these
seven, only two were without blemish. And one of
these two, the Church in Pergamos, was actually
located where ‘satan’s throne’ was! (Revelation
2:13). The Church of Christ flourished and
triumphed right in satan’s headquarters! So, it is
not about the location. And it is not about the
spiritual/political authority in the land. It is about
this: “Does Christ have true and faithful disciples
on ground?”

The testimony of the early Church also confirms
this truth. They operated under some of the most
repressive, tyrannical and pagan rulers – yet they
triumphed brilliantly. They took the Gospel all over
the then known world (Acts 17:6). Persecution did
not kill them, it re-fired them. Affliction did not
douse their passion for Christ, it re-fuelled it. The
power was within them – not in the political
dispensation around them. And the Apostles did
not train their converts to capture political power
to ‘help’ the cause of Christ in their land. They
were trained to focus on Jesus. And through them,
Jesus shone in the darkness around them.

For Jesus Himself made it clear that His Kingdom
was not of this world (John 18:36). The coming of
His Kingdom will NEVER be predicated on tricking
people to vote for corrupt leaders – in His name!
That is the deception of Christian leaders that are
feasting sumptuously at the tables of corrupt
politicians. That is why many are not surprised at
the allegation that some pastors have been given a
bribe of N6 billion/N7 billion to influence Christians
to vote for the incumbent administration. The truth
of this allegation may or may never see the light of
day.

Friends, DO NOT BE DECEIVED. The man that is
digging the grave of the Church in Nigeria is NOT
the man that is, in all good conscience, exercising
his civic right to vote for a candidate of his choice.
Rather, the man that is digging the grave of the
Church is the one that is not yielding Himself to
love and serve Christ with all His might - spirit,
soul, and body. The grave-digger is the man that
is not making disciples of those around him. The
man that is silent in the face of the corruption that
seems to be swallowing the Church. Men like these
are a million times more dangerous to the
Christian faith than the brutal forces of Islamic
fundamentalism.

I do not for a moment underrate the horrible
danger posed by Islamic fundamentalism, but I
reiterate that there is a more potent factor involved
- we are walking in, and working for The Greater
One that has absolute authority in the spiritual
realm. Christians do not wrestle against flesh and
blood. Our wrestling (and guaranteed victory) is
over ALL POWERS in the heavenly realm –
principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this
world, and spiritual wickedness in high places
(Ephesians 6:12). When we stand on our assured
victory in Christ in that realm, the events on earth
will unfold ONLY according to God’s will. This is
how Christians reign on earth.

But where are the overcomers that want to
genuinely yield themselves totally to the Lord to be
used by Him? This is the true dilemma of the
Church in Nigeria. We have lost focus of the Owner
of TRUE POWER, that is why we are chasing the
shadow of political power.

Do not allow yourself to be used as a political tool
by ANYBODY. Vote according to your conscience
and conviction. Love the Jonathan administration?
Please go ahead and vote for him. Want to try
Buhari? Please go ahead and vote for him. Your
primary allegiance is NOT to ANY MAN, or to ANY
MAN OF GOD – it is to the Spirit of the Living God.
Listen to Him. And vote ONLY according to your
conscience. This is your liberty in Christ Jesus.
Please use it wisely.

Thanks for reading, God bless.

Please, can anybody tell me the cheapest way to make first class?

I just gained admission into a university.

Those are the words of David, a Jambite, in my school.

Please, answer him.

Thanks!

Yeeeee, Oju mi oooo (my eyes) was what one of the 100 Level students shouted when he was beaten near death this morning.

It has become a culture for students to be beaten, poured water on, etc during one ceremony or the other. Today is not an exception of such beatings and water pour as Ekiti State University matriculates her new students.

The matriculation is still going on now at the Main Auditorium of the University.

We say Congratulations to all the new students.

This morning, the students of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, move out en mass to protest as the school management now turn to money sucking machine.

Yesterday, while so many people went out to
celebrate Valentine, the Redeemed Christian
Fellowship, Ekiti State University Frahers
(comprising Jambites and Predites) were in the
Church were they discussed and enjoyed God's
presence.

Sure, there is no other way to celebrate Valentine
than giving to the poor and going to an
orphanage replied one of them when asked how
to celebrate it.

One even said she would celebrate her Val by
going to the market and buying stuffs. Another
one said she would be going to Class to read
and learn with her friends.

A guy said he would be going to school too.
You need see how happy these students were
during the meeting in which several other things
were discussed.

If you are a student in EKSU, you can join them
today or any time of their services in RCF EKSU.
They are the loveliest family on earth.

Ghosts in that context means Empty Class though.

@Vinohh Picture or no picture, I can as well just snap an empty class with a lecturer and post.

Since you have the name of the lecturer and other details, you can come to EKSU and confirm.

In about a few weeks’ time, precisely February
2015, the country’s general election will
commence. As a citizen of Nigeria, I wish to put
forward some issues that should serve as a
guide as we all go out to elect our leaders at
various levels. As patriotic Nigerians, I advise
that we should endeavour to vote for what is
best for the country and never allow ethnicity,
religion, tribe, sex and even age to be
determining factors.

The country, in the past few years have, gone
through some harrowing experience under the
present administration and we now have an
opportunity of putting a halt to it by the power
of our Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) come
February, 2015.

OUR EXPERIENCE UNDER THE GEJ
ADMINISTRATION
MISSING CHIBOK GIRLS: On the 15th of April,
2014, over 200 girls were kidnapped in a
secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, North
West, Nigeria, during the last West African
Examination Council Exams. Rather than having
the Government that is constitutionally saddled
with the responsibility of protecting the lives and
properties of her citizens to swing into full action
and find a way of rescuing these girls, the
government only engaged in an exchange of
words with the Governor of the state, saying the
story is not true. As I write this report, neither
the president nor his vice has paid a visit to the
community, and up till today, the girls have not
been rescued. Little wonder we now have series
of female bombers. To further worsen the acts of
the government, a full scale clampdown was
made on a group who independently protested
and campaigned for the release of the girls. Our
president even went ahead to engage a public
relations firm Levick for $1.2m to improve the
public presentation of his handling of the crisis.
Nigerians, should we continually watch while
these girls are yet to be found when we can
effect a desired change with our PVCs for a more
responsible government?

NNPC SCAM: A lot of scam pervades the
corridors of power at the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation, where millions of dollars
of crude oil wealth are being mismanaged by a
few cabals who will even be “smart” enough to
easily rush to court to obtain orders against
investigation. If you have done the right thing,
why should you be afraid? Nigerians, beware! We
need change.

$9.3 MILLION NAIRA ARMS DEAL: Nigerians
woke up to a rude shock on the 5th day of
September, 2014, when a Nigerian jet allegedly
belonging to the President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) was caught by the
South African Government with raw cash in a
small airport in Northwest of Johannesburg,
South Africa, accompanied by two Nigerians and
an Israeli, with the aim of going to purchase
arms. Fellow Nigerians, in a government that
preaches a cashless economy, where is that
done? It is a shady deal, if not, why is it that no
official statement or report could be made when
this jet was arrested? We need a change; we
need a leader who will fight corruption with a
good intent, and not play double standards.
SERIES OF BOMB ATTACKS: Rather than
reducing, the activities of the dreaded sect,
popularly called Boko Haram, have been on the
increase. Our security agencies, policy makers
and government at all levels have all failed us.
Between 2009 and 2014, the dreaded group has
been responsible for over 2000 deaths with
violence, killings and kidnapping. Rather than
equipping the Nigerian Army to be able to face
the task ahead with full concentration, the
government, through his appointees in the army,
only reward these officers by convicting them of
mutiny, suspension and even dismissal. Will all
this amount to a form of encouragement for
these officers? Nigerians, it is time for change, to
elect leaders who understand the cry of its
citizens, and who know the effect of encouraging
our service men. The change that we desire can
do this.

IMMIGRATION JOB SCAM: Not only has the
government failed to provide good jobs for able-
bodied Nigerian youths, but it has now moved to
the stage of extorting money from poor Nigerian
youth who need government jobs. Millions of
youth were made to part with ₦1,000 each as
application fee to get a job in the Nigeria
Immigration Service and in the process, over 19
young, men and women were killed and
thousands injured across 37 centres nationwide.
Up till date, nothing has happened to the Minister
in charge of this dastardly act nor has he
refunded the money paid by each applicant.
Nigerian youth, our PVC is our voice for a
government who can, at least, cater for us by
creating an enabling environment to get good
jobs.

PETROLEUM PUMP PRICE: Amidst comity of oil
producing states, our fuel pump price is the
highest. Even when the price of crude oil crashed
at the world market, our leader did not allow us
to enjoy same. We were not surprised when, on
a Sunday evening, the Minster of Petroleum, Mrs
Allison Madueke, announced a N10 reduction in
the prices of petrol. Nigerians received the news
with mixed feeling – Why now? What a Greek
gift!

INCESSANT STRIKES IN THE EDUCATION
SECTOR: This is another major identity of the
present day government. Many thought that Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, being a former academic,
will excel in this regard. Rather, his government
has further bastardised the state of our
education. In the year 2013, our tertiary
institutions were at home for a record of 6
months under Nyesom Wike at the helm of
authority. Today, the same failed man as
Minister of Education is now aspiring to be a
state governor. What! This can only happen in
Nigeria where failures in a little government task
qualifies you to gun for a higher position.
Incessant strikes have negative effects on our
educational system. i.e. Production of half-
baked graduates, poor public image of Nigerian
universities; robbing our graduates of
international esteem, financial loss and time
waste.

RECURRENT STRIKES IN THE HEALTH SECTOR:
Have you been to our public hospitals of late?
They are now death traps, sometimes it is either
the Medical Doctors are on strike or at another
period the Health workers, a lot of Innocent
Nigerians have lost their lives in this health
sector crisis. Private Hospitals now milk our
citizens dry before they could treat you; deaths
from minor accidents are now on the increase.
Nigerians, we can’t continue like this, we need a
change now. They travel out at every single
moment for medical check-up even with tax
payers’ money, little wonder they die cheaply.
MISSING $20 BILLION: $20 billion dollars
belonging to estimated 170 million Nigerians, half
of who live below a dollar per day, was
reportedly stolen, withheld or unremitted by a
few set of cabals within the corridors of power.
The erstwhile Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, made
this revelation and was suspended from office.
This shows the government’s weakening resolve
in tackling widespread corruption which has been
on the increase in the past six years. At a
campaign rally in Ibadan, Oyo State, South West
Nigeria, the President boldly said he does not
believe in jailing people who steal from
government coffers. No wonder he granted Chief
Diepreye Alamiesegha and Mohammed Abacha
state pardon and soft pedal on the trial of Femi
Fani Kayode who is now his campaign
spokesman. Nigerians! The time for change is
now!

These and many more reasons like devaluation
of the naira, oil theft, poor power supply, non-
functional refineries, subsidy scandal, are why I
advise Nigerians to stand boldly for change even
in the face of undemocratic dramas and socio-
economic instability characterised by the present
administration of the man from Otuoke. Civility
and patriotism is when we use our voting rights
to effect the much-needed change. Responsibility
beckons!

God bless Nigeria
God bless her citizens

What brought about GEJ now?

Lol
But if Fayemi was there, it would have been worst.

You would also be surprised just like me if you
witness what I witnessed this morning in Ekiti
State University in the Faculty of Science.

A lecturer named Mr Adebayo went into the
class and lectured ghosts (empty class) and also
conducted a test at the end of his lecture.

I wonder if the students have turned to spirits.

At first, I thought it was because of the
students' lateness but I later gathered that it
was because of their school fees and for those
that paid school fees, because of their faculty
dues.

I also gathered that #5000 has been added to
the school fees for late payment.

What is EKSU turnng to?

Recommendation for drinking is written in the article

Last year, the students of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti jubilated towards the end of the year when the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose announced publicly on EKTV that the TUITION fee was reduced from N50,000 to N30,000.

Following the announcement, the Governor got a lot of kudos from different people--students, parents, gurdians, etc. I was even happy myself when I heard that we could even pay the fees twice installmentally.

However, many parents taught our school fees is now N30,000 not knowing that it is ONLY the TUITION FEE that was slashed down. Other fees remain constant or increased or decrease as the case may be.

For example, in my department (Plant Science), after paying the school fees (N69,750: full payment or N54750: installmental payment), I had to pay N8,000 to the Faculty and also pay another N10,000 for my field trip which was part of the school fees. This is because I can only pay installmentally from the Tuition fee.

I am not writing this to condemn the Government nor the school administration but I think the public, most especially our parents, should be inform of the breakdown in our fees and not the popular notion that our school fees is now reduced.

Consequently, one of the lecturers in the facullty mandated that we pay our schools at most, on the 6th of January without which no one is going to write his test. He added that failure to write the test is failure to write his exam.

This is critical because not all fingers are equal.

I therefore urge the school administration or whosoever is concern to look into this.

Meanwhile, I use this opportunity to welcome all EKSUites back to school and I pray that none of us shall die before his/her time. Amen.

Compliment!
