orisa37: America buys and sells every in Dollars wherever the transaction is done. This is unfair in internatioal relation and trade. Dagote has Escrow in dollars. Let him buy his crude from the Escrow account.
The MOD that suspended, the only prayer for today is that your life would be like Nigeria, Tinubu would be your potion.
jamesharryson: I would rather have you shut up that to yarn gibberish like this. Beautiful edifice like that can come more when the masses are mobilized and helped. Here, you don't food and we are talking about house
Seun should use AI to scan post so useless trolls and sadistic nuisances like you can be banned for life.
flourishing247: Please ignore the publication. They use tabs and laptops. Students speak with their parents DAILY!! Each student is given 50gb for Internet activity. It is funny how people complaining on this thread are not CU students or Alumni. A school Muslims also choose and people are on this thread tearing themselves up. Internet access is the least of their problems. The major issue are the other rules. No romantic interactions, must attend some chapel services or programs, rigorous academic program etc.
Lifeinlight: the school is the best in Nigeria. Every parent want their wards to attend the best school. It is not to rate their status of being rich.
Well with all that restrictions for a university it makes it a glorified prison, children should be allowed to express themselves, the best universities in the world like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge don't do that and they produce better graduates than all this fake private universities running a prison system.
Even our public universities do produce better graduates compared to all this private schools that give admission to the highest bidder with just 180 jamb score
Lifeinlight: please how is it a glorified Jail? Those in public University with access to mobile phone what are they doing with it if not Yahoo and hookup? Does the "no phone" policy make them less human or not employable? The school is the best in Nigeria and one of the best in Africa. This is a school established not too long.
I believe you don't know more than their parents that chose the school over other institution in Nigeria
So why are the parents now complaining that can't reach their kids in times of crisis, so they parents no any better when they use that a place to rate their status of being rich, rather than what their child would learn.

Now you can the advantage of have a cell phone at hand we pray nothing bad happens 🙏 but I don't see why they should stop them from using their phones , must everything be linked to Yahoo and hook up, we still have lots of them in public schools that don't do that, so don't make reference to something bad because you want to justify what's not good
However, with Dangote now set to start supplying products directly to every marketer through their trucks and vessels, the 11Plc boss contended that marketers whose only business is tank farm operation would soon shut down due to lack of patronage. “But now that the product is made locally, there may be no need for keeping all that storage because if you don’t have the product from the refinery this week, you can get it next week. “So, why go and pay N5 extra to the tank farm owner? If you just order from Dangote and you get your order this week or next week. You don’t need to pay any extra fee for storage. You will just go there with your 50 trucks and lift your product. ‘So, it’s going to change the dynamics in the industry a lot”, Oyebanji added. On his projection for the downstream sector for this year, the ex-MOMAN chairman said the Dangote Refinery would be a game changer. Continuing, he said the aviation fuel being produced by the refinery must be produced consistently and in sufficient quantity, saying when that happens, it would significantly affect the market this year in terms of product availability, pricing and requirement for large storage facilities. Oyebanji noted that the artificial pricing arrangement which marketers have with NNPC may change and become more reflective of the dictates of the market. “Since the product is now available locally and everybody can get it, then obviously, the competition may be tougher than what it used to be. But a lot of things depend on if the refineries work consistently and with good quality and the right quantity that can meet the demand, then that will bring about a lot of changes in the market”, he added. Also speaking on the long-awaited commercial terms, the Executive Secretary of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Mr. Clement Isong, said the discussions were still ongoing, stressing that the current discussions were around logistics and administration. He corroborated Oyebanji’s position that they “haven’t arrived at commercial terms yet. We are still in the process of talking about logistics and administrative things like registration. It is only when they have the products that we can begin discussion on commercial terms.” He also said that the refinery would impact tankage and tank farms as it comes with its own storage and loading arms, positing that many of the storage tanks in the country may become redundant as optimisation and efficiencies set in. According to him, “only those people who own 100; 200; 500 filling stations will be able to keep their own storage so that they can control their own supply lines to their stations. But those other people can pick their products directly from the refinery, they do not need additional cost of secondary storage.” On his part, the immediate-past National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Mr. Chinedu Okoronkwo, said one of the things that was yet to be made public by Dangote Refinery was the mode of offtaking the products.
Omihanifa: Hundreds of students of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, have reportedly been hospitalised due to suspected food poisoning in the institution’s butteries.
According to multiple sources who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES, the school’s medical centre has been overwhelmed due to the number of affected students.
But the university is keeping mum over the matter as calls and messages to relevant officials were ignored and not replied to for many hours. Parent confirms development Meanwhile, a parent, who is resident overseas, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone conversation on Saturday.
The source, who does not want to be quoted for fear of victimisation of the child, said the student has regained some balance and is now recuperating in the school.
The source said: “We have had difficulties reaching our child since we received the news. But earlier today (Saturday), we got through to our child who confirmed being affected by the food poisoning but is now recovering well and is fairly stable.
Other sources also confirmed the development but rued the school’s decision to keep the matter secret.
A former employee of the university, who also craved anonymity, said the institution should have spoken on the matter “to douse the tension but all this hide and seek game doesn’t help the university.” Ban on use of phones by students After the founder of the university and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo, had abruptly announced the ban on the use of phones by the students of the institutions many years ago, any student found with a telephone on the campus is sanctioned.
The students who are offered computer tablets for their academic use are barred from accessing many websites and social media platforms.
In the past, the students were allowed to make use of a public phone booth for communication with their contacts outside the campus. Many students who adopted the use of email for communication also fear that their emails could could be tracked.
The development has made communication with the students difficult, even as the ongoing crisis rattles the institution.
Evasive university officials Attempts to get reactions from the institution on the possible cause of the food poisoning, and how the situation is being managed were unsuccessful, as calls were evaded while messages were not replied to by officials.
The university’s Head of Media and Public Affairs, Chichi Ononiwu, who did not pick up her telephone for hours, quickly cut off the call as soon as our reporter mentioned the incident to her when she eventually picked up the call on Sunday night.
Ms Ononiwu, who requested the identity of our reporter when she eventually picked up the call, cut off the line as soon as the matter was raised, and has refused to pick up subsequent calls.
Other journalists also confirmed Ms Ononiwu’s similar behaviour when they called her for comments on the matter.
Not first time It is not the first time the university would be recording incident of food poisoning on the campus. A similar development was reported in 2010 when many students were said to have been hospitalised. Newspaper reports at the time confirmed the development.
I hope these are not staged managed to make people feel they are working, anyway kudos to them if the actual did it.
So they can work like this? What actually prevented them all this while ? They should be proactive in their duties, don't wait for something to happen before reacting.
walefresh3: I am not arguing with hater like u or neither claiming to be from lagos . ... Answer the question above , do u have any beautiful like the place displayed lin the pictures in the whole of Alaigbo ?
LAGOS
Show me the picture of where you come from then I will tell you it's far better than what you just mentioned, moreover calling me a hater wouldn't change the fact you guys there trying to discredit the achievements in the east and south using poverty as a tool moreover we have more poor folks in the west
tollyboy5: Don't use Lagos to compare. Lagos state pays her indigene bursary and scholarship yearly. Lagos does youth empowerment through skills acquisition program. How far has akwaibom rice gone? Lagos has a large rice mill.
The governor wasted money on building church.
Lagos will rather spend such money on Eyo Masquerade Festival
Don't you see Ibom air and the power plant do you just comments because you feel the state spent money in building a church and so everyone should go mad,
azpekuliar: They will travel far and wide indeed. Get your priorities right you moroon. A syringe factory in that same state closed shop the same week this structure was being commissioned.
You are an idiot for say that, get your own priorities right if you have nothing to say save your data
People should go and look for what to do rather than looking for comments made by others they don't like.
If you don't like it you that time and energy you use in trying to point out if the comments is s go or not to work hard to ensure you don't to beg for food.
When you spend your whole day defending APC and Tinubu online you certainly go and beg for food 😂😂😂😂
Nice2023: Any how u want it...the truth is that,u can't be building such a structure when ur people are still behind in almost everything.
Yes everything including education,investments in human development and name it.
That is my point but I am sorry if u feel offended.
Behind in everything thing like what? Akwa ibom state is far better than almost all states in the country outside Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja and maybe Kano up north. Which other states can you compare with them.
Nice2023: Girl,see i respect u as a woman but u are not making sense.
No nation on earth can build artistic edifice without reaching a reasonable sufficiency level in almost everything. That is why u see those development in Europe.
Let me take u back memory lane if u don't know. Our ancestors walked and worked in Europe for 400years without any dime given to them,that was how they developed to this day.
America inclusive. A nation like ours have no means or heart to enslave people to work for us for free and that being said,we should also not waste money when our people live in horrible conditions.
Like I said earlier,most people from that region aren't doing well using HDI as a possible comparisons to make my points clear.
I don't mean to disparage or deride u but never compare Europe with us. Europe and America are rogue nations who stole our ancestors and later destroyed them only to call us names.
Stop being a chevunist, this has nothing to being a girl or a lady.
Nicepoker: I know more about that state. Stop rambling nonsense. Ask yourself is the pencil factory working, the syringe factory down. How about the metering company he built in onna his LGA. A state with poor IGR Don't need that structure.
Since you know have you asked yourself why the companies are down? As you say you know the state.
Why is ibom Power not down, why is ibom Air not down,
It was built with 36billion, 36billion that would have saved 36 thousand AkwaIbom youths, if they were given 1million naira each.
Imagine you do program that say what would you use 1 million naira for if it is given to you and the best 36,000 answers get it.
Evil Governments and them say na witch be evil.
You are more evil than Satan yourself.
Who do Africans this thing?
Economic value 0 percent
And that money would have saved 36, thousand people to stand and they in turn would be able to help friends and family thereby living standards improving in large ways.
You see my name? 666Mymark it is because I know that all those are scams they use to deceive the gullible ones.
@General Ditari .
President, Nairaland Ijaws.
I think you have made enough traffic to move your post to front page, which doesn't mean the post is right, but it's good for Nigerians to know it's not all about handouts, if majority of the state government can do what Akwa ibom state is doing today I believe we all will see the government in a different perspective.
