 Politics › Re: Greed, Wickedness Greater Sins Than Homosexuality – Sanusi by Emeritus1200: 8:19am On Apr 08, 2024 |
What he meant is simple. Being homosexual does not affect the prices of garri in the market. It does not make getting needs hard for the people. Your corruption is between you and God. It doesn't make life difficult for the people. However, when you are wicked and greedy, it will affect the people around you. If you siphon public funds, everyone will feel the consequences, even the unborn generations. I believe he is right. Greed and wickedness are corruption against the people and humanity. 92 Likes 13 Shares |

| Travel › Brain Drain In Nigeria: Causes And Solutions by Emeritus1200(op): 8:28am On May 20, 2023 |
Human capital flight also known as brain drain revolves around the loss of skilled workers, either talented or educated, of a country through migration. It is the migration of highly skilled and competent workers in order to seek better opportunities abroad. It encompasses seeking greener pastures, accessing feasible opportunities, having job security, looking for a higher standard of living, just to mention a few. The departure of academic, technological, and medical individuals, such as; doctors, lawyers, engineers, lecturers, scientists, and others, often makes the country stranded by having few people that have the know-how to make consequential differences. Consequently, the work becomes burdensome and tiresome for the few skilled workers available. The exodus of Nigerian professionals has left much to be desired. A lot of sectors in the country experience a short supply of a competent labour force. For instance, Nigeria has produced more than 80,000 doctors, but only 30,000 doctors are in the country at present. The World Health Organization (WHO) mandated one doctor to 1000 patients ratio, but Nigeria has one doctor to 5,000 patients ratio. 233 doctors moved to the United Kingdom (UK) in 2015, 279 in 2016, 475 in 2017, 852 in 2018, 1347 in 2019, 833 in 2020 and 932 in 2021. To aggravate the phenomenon, it was widely reported that 9 out of 10 doctors, who have less than five years experience, plan to leave the country to seek a higher standard of living.

| Education › Meet The Us-nigeria Professor Who Wins 300, 000 US Dollars Dan David Prize by Emeritus1200(op): 11:31pm On Mar 15, 2023 |
The Biography Of Professor Saheed Aderinto Professor Saheed Aderinto is a lecturer in the Florida International University teaching Professor of History and African and African Diaspora Studies. He hails from Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State Nigeria. Professor Saheed Aderinto was born on 22nd January 1979. He had his primary education in Adeen International School and his secondary school education in Ibadan City Academy. He went ahead to study History at the prestigious University of Ibadan where he had Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History in 2004. In 2005, Aderinto travelled to the United States, where he had his Masters Degree in University of Texas at Austin. He completed his MA programme in 2007 and his PHD in 2010 respectively. Aderinto became a household name in Nigeria in 2023 as he clinched the notable Dan David Prize, winning a huge sum of 300, 000 US dollars for his illustrious contributions to historical research in Africa, Nigeria in particular. His scholastic acumen has made him publish no fewer than eight books, thirty six articles on different journals, forty articles on encyclopaedia and twenty books reviews. The selection committee of Dan David Prize showered encomium on Aderinto for his robust impact in the historical development of Nigeria, "situating African history at the cutting edge of diverse literatures in the histories of sexuality, nonhumans, and violence, noting that it is exceptional to see a single person leading scholarship in all of these fields." While congratulating the Ibadan born professor, the US Mission wrote in a Facebook post, "The first Nigerian to receive the $300,000 Dan David Prize—the largest financial reward for excellence in the historical discipline in the world. Professor Aderinto is the Founding President of the Lagos Studies Association.” The Dan Prize stated the quality of Aderinto, "Aderinto’s work challenges historians to think about what constitutes the past in completely new ways, to ask new questions about the makers of history and to question conventional assumptions about power, agency and authority,” the website reads. “He aims to recalibrate conventional definitions of sources used to reconstruct African history.” The contributions of Aderinto towards the research-based history of Nigeria in Nigeria cannot be overemphasised. He leaves no stone unturned as he writes about violence, sex, medicine, colonisation and the political culture of the Nigerian society. His published books are: book, When Sex Threatened the State, Animality and Colonial Subjecthood: The Human and Nonhuman Creatures of Nigeria; Guns and Society in Colonial Nigeria, Firearms, among others. His first book, When Sex Threatened the State, was the winner of Nigerian Studies Association’s Book Award Prize in 2016. https://www.emeritushub.com/the-biography-of-professor-saheed-aderinto/ |

8 University Students Burnt To Death No fewer than 8 students of Madonna University on 18th February, 2023, have been reportedly burnt to ashes in a fire accident, while others were severely injured in a road accident that occurred in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. It was reported that the students were going home after the school management had given them the compulsory election holiday, when their motor caught fire, on their journey to Port Harcourt. The report made available stated that 8 of the students died instantaneously. Ten other students were rescued and had been taken to the Alex Ekwueme Teaching Hospital in Ebonyi State to receive maximum medical attention. As at the moment of reporting the news story, the cause of the motor fire incident is still a mystery. But there have been a series of investigations in order to unravel the sudden outrage of the fire outbreak. The management of the institution is yet to react to the tragedy. But a lot of people have expressed their sympathy for the deceased families, saying it is a great tragedy for the country as a whole. https://www.emeritushub.com/8-university-students-burnt-to-death/ |

SmartyPants:You don't understand language. I don't think you even studied English as a course in the university. Register is a concept or a topic. So, it must be without article, just as, What is noun. Without any article, what is required is the generic definition. Supposed someone asks you, what a noun is, you can tell that person that a noun is a cup. But what is noun demands that you give the definition of noun. Learn and learn before you jump into conclusion that someone is wrong. Asking what is a register can birth many definitions in the exam. You should know that the word 'Register' is polysemous. Someone can say it is a book that is used to mark attendance in school. However, what is register means 'Explain what you know by the term in this particular subject. English isn't hard, sir. Good morning. |

Lecturers Protest in UNIPORT Over Non Payment of 22 Month Salaries The lecturers of University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) staged a protest over the non-payment of their 22 month salaries. The angry lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) halted the academic activities on campus today. They under the leading of their ASUU chairman Dr. Darlington Uzoma, trooped out en masse from the secretariat of the union to the senate building of the university. Uzoma said, “About 20 of our members in UNIPORT are being owed 22 months’ salaries because of the carelessness of the Federal Government through the payment system it adopted.” Recall that the deliberate payment of half salaries by the federal government sparked outrage from the ASUU, with each unit being told to take a day to protest. It was learnt that the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and University of Jos (UNIJOS) had both embarked on their respective lecture-free day. https://www.emeritushub.com/lecturers-protest-in-uniport-over-non-payment-of-22-month-salaries/ |

| Education › Uites Are Wise, You Cannot Blackmail Me — UI'SU PRO by Emeritus1200(op): 6:32am On Nov 13, 2022 |
Uites Are Wise, You Cannot Blackmail Me — UI'SU PRO In the wake of the report of the divergence of union funds by the office of the Public Relation Officer (PRO) of University of Ibadan Student Union, the PRO, Olalekan Michael Ajibola prominently known as OMA Our PRO, had stated that the whole reportage was an attempt to blackmail him, saying it was poor and outlandish. The celebrity PRO was under fire yesterday when a news publication went viral and published by some student news outlet especially on ucjui.com, the apex campus journalism news outlet in University of Ibadan. It was reported that OMA diverted the funds garnered from handling UI'SU TV into his personal account. He was also alleged of using his personal number for the TV with the aim of making the TV his at the expiration of his tenure. According to the report, when challenged with the constitution of the University of Ibadan Student Union, OMA admitted that he had violated the constitution. He also admitted that he was supposed to have told the Students Representative Council (SRC) to amend the constitution of the union arguing that his office needs a legal back up to appropriate funds when needs be. However, the publicity team of OMA Our PRO released a press release yesterday, blowing hot, and ascribing the report as outlandish, poor, an attempt to blackmail the PRO, and demeaning the news writer as a writer who lacks even the basic knowledge of journalism. It was stated in the release that the report was false, stating that it had been diluted to serve some parochial interests, while also projecting OMA in bad light. OMA advised the writer of the report to focus on becoming a good journalist instead of scaremongering. "The writer should be aware at this point that Uites are wise, addicted to the TV, enjoying it and expressing their affection for OMA Our PRO. The signs are there. If you disagree, try asking a random Uite about OMA Our PRO; the response will contradict the full picture of what the writers try to paint, and many of his faceless blackmailers." The embattled PRO later stated that the publication is a libel suit and threatened to file a suit against his blackmailer(s). https://www.emeritushub.com/uites-are-wise-you-cannot-blackmail-me-uisu-pro/ |
| Education › UI'SU Accused Of Diverting Union Funds Into Personal Account by Emeritus1200(op): 5:41pm On Nov 12, 2022 |
UI'SU PRO Accused of Diverting Union Fund Into Personal Account The University of Ibadan Student Union Public Relation Officer, Olalekan Michael Ajibola popularly known as OMA Our PRO, has been accused of diverting union funds into his personal account. The celebrity PRO was exposed by an investigative journalist writing for Indy Press, a reputable press organization in the University of Ibadan. OMA controls the handling of the UI'SU TV, a campus TV for the whole institution, which has more than 5, 000 viewers according to reports. The embattled PRO, according to the news published by Indy Press, who controlled the handling of the UI'SU TV used his number for the TV. It was reported that he tried to make the WhatsApp TV his after his tenure. It was also known that OMA charged advertisers 2 thousands for a day, 5 thousands for 3 days and 10 ten thousands for 3 days, with all the money entering into his account directly. The act is against the constitution of the University of Ibadan Student Union. It was stated in the constitution that all funds should be directed into the union account. And when needs be, on a special occasion, it should be directed into the treasurer's account. When contacted, according to a report on ucjui.com, OMA agreed that he had violated the law. Nonetheless, he stated that he disregarded the constitution because it is outdated. He also agreed that he did not inform the SRC concerning how he had been contravening the UI'SU constitution when there was an urgent need to amend it. He argued that the UI'SU TV is an innovation and his office should be given the legal back up to receive funds and allocate resources when needs be. In the wake of the report, the PRO, Olalekan Michael Ajibola, debunked the allegation, saying that the news was written by a notorious investigative journalist who is well known to being unprofessional in his reports. https://www.emeritushub.com/uisu-pro-accused-of-diverting-union-fund-into-personal-account/ 1 Like 1 Share |

| Education › Ten Things All Jambites Must Know Before Registering For JAMB by Emeritus1200(op): 11:39am On Nov 07, 2022 |
In this article, I will list ten things that aspirants must know or do before they register for UTME. What Do JAMB And UTME Means Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the body that conducts Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). So, it is right to say you want to write UTME, not JAMB. JAMB is the body that conducts the examination. Also, the students that write JAMB are called Jambites. Be wise in the school that you choose Many aspirants just choose a school because the school is popular. Some choose some tertiary institutions because they have relatives or friends in the school. However, it doesn’t work like that. Choose the school that has a proven record to do what you want. Some people choose some schools that do not offer the courses that they want to study. Therefore, they change their desired courses and choose the available ones. Know what you want to become Passion keeps driving men. Choose the course that you have passion for. It is very important to do this so that you won’t lose focus when you gain admission. Some students in higher institutions do not have motivation to study because they are studying the course they have no passions for. Do not choose a course because your friends choose the course. You are special. Do Not Be Afraid Cowards die millions of times before death comes, while heroes live billions of years before thinking about death. Be optimistic. You are a success, a miracle. You can’t fail. UTME isn’t rocket science. It is an examination. Ipso facto, be calm; sit right and be ready to destroy it. Prepare Very Well Anyone who fails to prepare will prepare to fail. This is the reality that occurs in any examination. While students that prepare well pass excellently, the unprepared ones always have themselves or others to blame for their failure. The people who study a particular course don’t have two heads. They all have one just like you. What can make you be in their league is to prepare accurately. The sky isn’t your limit if you do this. Know Your Financial Ability As an aspirant, you must know the financial ability of your sponsor. This will help you choose the best school for yourself. Getting admission to study the course that you desire is much more important than studying a course that you don’t want in a popular university. Because of the gradual collapse in academic activities in public universities, I will advise you to choose a private university or a state university, if your sponsor has the ability to finance you accordingly. At first, this will make your effort to get admission easy and you will have a strike-free academic journey.

| Literature › Difference Between Blank Verse And Free Verse by Emeritus1200(op): 6:45pm On Nov 06, 2022 |
Both blank verse and free verse are free from rhyme scheme. However, they are different in forms. I will first explain them one after the other. Free Verse Free verse is an element of poetry that refers to poetry that does not have rhyme and a rhythmic pattern (regular rhythm). Free verse is free from rhythm and meter; it does not follow any patterns. It allows the poet to be expressive without any limitation of the confined pattern. It is also called vers libre. Example: Nigeria, a great in-country Nigeria, the home of wild animal Nigeria, the refuge of felonies Nigeria, we always hail thee! Blank Verse Blank verse is a poetic device that refers to a poem that has a meter with 10 syllables (iambic pentameter) but does not have a regular rhythm and rhyme. A blank verse does not have specific lines in poetry, not like a sonnet that has fourteen lines. The iambic pentameter of a blank verse is not rhymed due to its acceptance of any kind of meter in poetry. In short, free verse does not have the regular rhythm, meter and rhyme scheme, but, blank verse has. Blank verse usually has meter iambic pentameter which means five stressed syllables and give unstressed syllables. The syllables in each line of a poem that is blank verse are always the same.

Armed Robbers Invade UI, Kill One A gang of armed robbers have reportedly invaded the staff quarters of University of Ibadan. In the robbery attack, the armed robbers killed Mr Vincent Odinko, who was an occupant of the building and a NECO officer. The robbery invasion, according to a reliable source in the institution, occurred last Friday night. The robbers broke into the Boys Quarters (BQ) of the deceased where he lived with his family members. The reason why the robbery invaders murdered him is unknown.

Notheless, nothing has come out of the Oyo State Police Command since the incident occurred. Before his demise, Mr Vincent Odinko worked in the SSCE Internal Unit, Ibadan branch of the National Examinations Council (NECO). Many occupants in the staff quarters had wondered how the robbery incident would occur in a public universities personnel meter fencing, good security architecture and personnel. https://www.emeritushub.com/armed-robbers-invade-ui-kill-one/ |
