Seriously, this is an irresponsible write-up

There are also islamic organisations that will be affected by the law. PMB, a Muslim will not rule country forever. Table always turns. CAMA law will make professional, religious and charity organisations to be more financial transparent and responsible.

The Islamists have continued to target Christians and even kill Christians.
Each time what do the Christians do? --- Pray more for your enemy that stand and fight!

In Joshua 6: 1-27, God himself asked the Israelites to march round the city walls for 7 days and on the 7th day to Priests must blow the trumpets and every Israelite must give a loud shout. This happened as instructed and the walls of Jericho came down.

The Priests and Pastors in Nigeria have refused to blow the trumpet and so that the people of Nigeria will yell out a loud shout against these evil regime. They can continue to hide themselves out of fear for this regime until they are all rounded up and imprisoned.

Israel's existence and astronomic growth is all thanks to Washington DC...
Isreal can never surpass USA...
USA played a masterstroke politics in that region by pitting the Sunni Powers against Iran... Thereby giving the Israelis, Saudis, Emiratis e.t.c common ground to unite and tackle IRAN...

If you build an apartment sharing website and tenants get connected on it, will you be willing to pay tax on a transaction you facilitated or help facilitate?

Mynd44:
The problem is that these hailing companies say they are not employers of the drivers and the drivers work independently hence they can't pay operational taxes.

The same BS that has been happening in London and New York.

While Nigerian universities are still under locks owing to both the COVID-19 pandemic and ASUU strike, Babcock University is preparing for the virtual convocation ceremony of their graduating students.

After all forms of physical teaching were halted in order to restrict people from spreading the Coronavirus, some private schools and universities continued with lectures and tests.

According to a source close to the school, Babcock University made use of the virtual conference platform, Zoom, to carry on with lectures, complete tests, conduct exams as well as for project defence.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the school already conducted some exams online from its CBT centre. General courses like the use of library and some of its 100 and 200 level courses already had their exams taken online from the CBT centre.

To meet the challenge of assessing students by examinations and quizzes, the school connected its online examination platform to each student’s portal thereby making it accessible from other remote venues besides the CBT centre.

The challenges when Babcock went virtual
For the students, it was an easy transition because the institution already issued each one of them a Samsung tablet that aids study. Before moving classes to Zoom, the need for a suitable device had already been met.

The devices came at no additional cost to the student besides ensuring that they had adequate supply of data and electricity.

The virtual examination platform, however, was another story. The first time it was used, the platform proved unable to handle the traffic of students that needed to write their exams on it. But Babcock has since scaled up the platform and it now handles every traffic.

Still employing technology, final year students of the institution are set for their graduation ceremony on August 20. While a select few will be invited to represent the entire set at a physical ceremony, others will join the event via Zoom.

The problem with online studies in Federal and state Institutions
Responding to the progress made by private universities like Covenant and Babcock University, some undergraduates of federal and state-owned universities have taken to Twitter to share their opinions on why the online model is not working in their schools.

For some, the lecturers in these institutions do not have relevant and updated content that can be taught in video format to the student. According to @am_leg_end_ary, “Normally some of our lecturers just come to class to read note without any proper explanation I doubt if they will have any reasonable thing to teach.”

A glaring reason why the online model may not be easily embraced by these other universities is that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has taken a stance against online learning. According to the President of ASUU, Prof Abiodun Ogunyemi, “It (virtual learning) will not work.”

“Let’s break it down; when you talk of virtual learning practically online teaching and learning, I think the first question we need to ask ourselves is: do we have the infrastructure for that? When you talk of infrastructures in the institutions concerned, do they have facilities? And if you want to take it to individuals, can they afford it?”

To support Ogunyemi’s stance, some students agree that infrastructure and cost are two major reasons why the model is not being embraced by schools.

As the Universities prepare to reopen, whatever the stance of schools is towards online learning, it is evident that technology has created a divide between students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Whether the online model is perfect or still in its formative stage, the schools that have embraced it for academic continuity have made some progress and have results to show for it.

I'm into religious studies and symbolism. You can trust me that there's more to what you are about to see.

Below is a bird's eyeview of covenant university with indisputable symbols of freemason: knight Templars crosses and pentagrams. I'd overlook if it was one symbol, but two?? Nah!

nokatakata:
But how did she get pregnant after being treated. Shouldn't the treatment have included flushing out the semen from the demented bastard fulani herdsmen terrorist aka bandits? Shouldn't they have carried out all necessary tests and screening. And why would the NA dismiss their soldier for getting raped instead of going after the bandits.

Amotolongbo:
No time changed.

Only that Christianity has shattered into small pieces like pebbles and no much enough unity to fight. Unlike Islam.

Islam has two major branches, Sunni and Shia. The Sunni is by far the largest and always easy in unity to fight against Shia or any other religious group.

Unlike Christianity which you can’t really say one has a larger body than the other, though Catholicm has been estimated to have more numerical advantage. Christianity isn’t anymore a United body like it used to be during the crusaders.

A microcosm of that is in some places in the south east where Catholics and Anglicans dominate. You can imagine the rivalry between them.

CU Always on Top, Setting the Space for others...

The Covenant University Scholastic Aptitude Screening (CUSAS) is a mandatory screening test of the institution for prospective students. It is held once a year before the beginning of the academic year.

However, unlike previous years, this year’s CUSAS is being held virtually in observance of the social distance rule occasioned by the COVID-19 caused by a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) previously unidentified in humans.

Covenant has been able to transmute seamlessly from the usual physical screening to the virtual, courtesy the state-of-the-art Information Communication Technology infrastructure of the University.

According to the Chairman, CUSAS 2020, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, the screening exercise had been seamless since it started on Wednesday, July 29, 2020. “Screening of candidates has been hitch-free because, at Covenant, we are accustomed to the use of ICT. Since COVID-19 started, we’ve been on virtual, delivering lectures to our students and having meetings and conferences. So, I believe that’s the way to go,” he stated.

Not less than 3,000 candidates had at the time of filing this report indicated an interest in participating in the 2020 CUSAS. Professor Ajanaku said that the University sent conditions for successful screening to candidates, and he encouraged parents and guardians to provide the necessary equipment and data for their wards to ensure a smooth exercise.

Covenant had consistently been the most subscribed private institution by candidates seeking admission into Nigerian universities. Competition is keen for admission to study in Covenant owing to the cutting edge world-class education and infrastructural facilities on offer at the institution.

I support you, but I'm not for the privatization of all our public institutions. There is stoic poverty in Nigeria and 80% students won't afford the exorbitant tuition fee of these public universities if they were to be privatized. That would only increase the number of school drop-outs and mass illiteracy, very indecent development.

Government should just force them to acquire necessary infrastructure vital for e-learning. The onus of data for distant streaming lays on students. But if palliatives been reach everybody they would have been able to access.

CodeTemplar:
HigherEd, are u sure of that N30b? That's huge if true o.

If we talk further now, some may tag us agents of the church system and get defensive.

flyingpig:
See ASUU na, they are not engaging FG now on the issue of e-learning. They are only enjoying at home while collecting salaries. The issue of their strike which they are on till now is majorly hinged on arrears, promotion and personal benefits. I will never accept within me that ASUU cares about the students. Just a selfish body promoting the welfare of lecturers.

It could happen during pre-intimacy. In the case of my mom, she was almost raped, the guy ejaculated on her panties without him even penetrating. She escaped. She got pregnant. Didn't know she was pregnant for the first 6 months. Even elderly people around her didn't know. It still baffles her how the sperm strolled in lol.
It could happen.

As part of numerous mysteries and sacred practices of the Kingdom of Ife which our Ancestors handed over to us in preservation is that, it remains a taboo for an Ooni to get near a tomb except for the ones of the past Oonis because they are immortal beings and are all present in the Palace.

All spirits of past Oonis are always recalled, yesterday I was privileged to have Ooni Adesoji Aderemi come out of his tomb to celebrate with us. He was extremely happy.
