Lovely pictures. I'm surprised at the beauty of ABU. However, I can say OAU is the most beautiful campus in Nigeria. The school literally takes you breath away. But in all fairness, ABU seems quite beautiful too. Only someone who has been in both schools can give an unbiased assessment.

Seconded. For those comparing ABU and OAU, you need to see both campuses before making comparison. OAU is architecturally the best and well structured and planned

Chartey: Thank you for those nice words.

So what decadence is ASUU fighting for

Police have detained six people after opening a second investigation into football match-fixing following allegations that a player rigged a Championship game in return for cash. The National Crime Agency (NCA) confirmed this weekend that it was examining claims passed to it by the Sun on Sunday.
The newspaper said an undercover investigator met ex-Portsmouth defender Sam Sodje, who said he could arrange for footballers in the Championship to get themselves a yellow card in return for tens of thousands of pounds.
He also claimed he could rig Premier League
games and even said he was preparing to fix
matches at next year's World Cup in Brazil.
Filmed on camera, Sodje allegedly claimed he
could arrange a booking in exchange for tens
of thousands of pounds. The ex-Nigeria
international also allegedly said he had
punched an opponent during a game against
Oldham in February in order to be sent off in
exchange for a 70,000 pound payout.
Portsmouth spokesman Colin Farmery said: "If these serious allegations are true, then we are extremely shocked and saddened by them. Match-fixing of any type goes to the heart of the integrity of the game.
"The player in question no longer plays for the club, and we have not been contacted by the authorities -- but of course we would co-
operate fully with any inquiry."

The crisis between the embattled members
of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
[ASUU], Adekunle Ajasin University
[AAUA], Ondo state and their management
is now deepened as new lecturers have been
employment to replace the striking lecturers.
Recall that when DailyPost visited the
campus last Monday, some old lecturers were
seen in various lecture rooms teaching ,
thinking the AAUA authorities and the
striking workers have agreed to end the five
months old strike.
However, with a statement later issued by
the AAUA ASUU’s Chairman, Dr. Meruyi
Mekusi, insisting that they will not call off
the strike until their national body orders
them to do so might have forced the
management to recruit new lecturers.
Relatively, the Vice Chancellor of the
institution, Prof. Femi Mimiko, has charged
the newly recruited lecturers to key into the
work ethics of the Institution and always
observe the values of the teaching
profession.
Prof. Mimiko, who also enjoined the
academics to be loyal to the University at all
times, gave the charge on Monday last week
at the Opening Ceremony of a two-day
orientation programme organized by the
Institution for the new academics.
The VC said, “Our expectations from you on
the job are to be in constant search for
knowledge and devise the innovative way of
dissemination. There must not be mention of
you in anything that is not worthy. Be role
models to students and enhance their moral
standard. You must be like counselors to
them at all times. Be shapers of opinions.
Engage in constructive criticism of society.
Be solution generators. Be focused and play a
big role in national development.
“AAUA is a public trust that is dedicated to
building leaders. You must, therefore, be
loyal to the system. We expect you to give to
this University an undiluted loyalty. We just
launched AAUA ALWAYS as a new campaign.
The message is that you must think about
this University at all times.”
While the VC commended them for being
found worthy of employment after rigorous
interviews, he said that the orientation
became necessary to expose them to AAUA
culture.
He said, “This induction is to expose you to
our own peculiar form of pedagogy that we
want you to imbibe and to continue to
sustain.”
The VC was one of the four resource persons
at the orientation programme and he spoke
on “Who is an Academic?” He said the new
intakes were supposed to teach, engage in
research and community service.
Prof. Mimiko urged those among them who
were yet to earn Ph. D. to pursue it
vigorously, saying, “For us, Ph. D. is a must
have. Those who are yet to possess the Ph. D.
should know that the most important thing
that we will ask when you get here is, ‘How
far you are going in the pursuit of
knowledge, leading to the award of the Ph.
D?”
He promised that the University would give
them support to undertake Ph.D. Programme
in any University of their choice.
Other speakers were the Deputy Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Rotimi Ajayi, who spoke on
“Academic Profession in the 21st Century”;
Prof. Francis Oyebade, who examined “AAUA
Academic Culture”; and Prof. Niyi Akinnaso,
who spoke on “21st Century Teaching”.

Even though a penis is controlled by the
nervous system, it also has a mind of its own.
Erections can occur at random due to some
impulses firing from the brain during sleep and
that is why most mornings, men experience
‘morning glows.’ The penis is turgid without a
prior sexual arousal trigger. In fact, the penis
does not need the man’s brain before it
climaxes. It is basically the function of the
penis than the brain of the man. Orgasm
actually starts with the spine; the signal to
ejaculate is the result of muscle contractions
in the spinal cord and pelvis, not the brain. But
amazingly, simple things like having a rough day
at work can lead to a man not gaining an
erection for a week.
On average, adult penis typically measures
between four and six inches when flaccid and
six to nine inches when erect. So typically,
most joysticks are created equal in almost all
men. Human penis still weighs and looks bigger
than that of other animals. Many men worry so
much about the look of their penis but the
truth of the matter is curves are common in
penis. The vast majority of joysticks lean ever so
slightly to the left or right when erect (you
are probably just too distracted to notice).
However, some bend so dramatically (or curve
up or down) that having sex is almost
impossible. This is known as Peyronie’s Disease
and it happens when the penis doesn’t expand
evenly during a hard-on.
The structure of the penis does not help men
to finish slowly; rather they are programmed
to finish quickly. So wives, don’t take it
personal. One of the purposes of intercourse
for men is pleasure, then procreation. In fact,
85 per cent of men think of pleasure first
before procreation while having sex.
Penile rupture is very real; it tends to happen
mostly during vigorous sex and also overly
enthusiastic solo action like masturbation.
Most men who have experienced this
unthinkable breakage always report hearing a
cracking noise, followed by excruciating pain.
It is always advisable to get treatment on time
because an untreated fracture can lead to
permanent erectile dysfunction (ED).
Penis size, thickness and shape are not genetic.
joysticks are actually formed in uterus when the
male hormones are in active service. joysticks
have a ‘seam’ as all men have a line going down
their penis and over their testicles. It’s more a
‘seam’ on the underside of the penis. It forms
when the foetus is in the uterus. In women, the
seam becomes the inner lips of the vagina. In
men, the seam encloses the urethra along the
length of the penis. joysticks contrast in colour
to other body parts; joysticks are generally
darker in colour than the bodies they hang
from. Why? It’s part of the sexual maturation
process. Every penis experiences a degree of
shrinkage on a daily basis, especially when it is
very cold. In other words, cold weather and
cold water are a penis’ mortal enemies. A
typical testicles need to be warm to
effectively make sperm and testosterone. So
when you stay too long in a chilly air-condition
room on a daily basis, try to take a ten
minutes’ walk in a warm environment away from
the cold. But there is no correlation between
penis size and shoe size, hand size or wallet
size. And the worst exercise for the penis is
masturbation. Masturbation is not healthy at
all. Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs; it is
also bad for the penis. It’s no secret that
smoking clogs the arteries, including those
that fill the penis with blood, especially at the
initial stage of ejaculation. This means the
joysticks of smokers may have a harder time
rising to its full potential at the occasion of
sexual activities. Also, men will go limp if they
drink too much.
Men really do get ‘blue-balls, technically called
‘prostatic congestion which is caused by
‘trapped’ blood in the testicles. It has been
discovered that a lukewarm shower or aspirin
will also do the trick. With a vasectomy, a man
can still be a father because some sperm cell
can still hang around, ready, willing and able to
cause a woman to be pregnant two weeks post
operation. So, it’s important to use some kind
of protection until your family doctor says the
coast is clear.
Please note that if an erection comes on and
refuses to go away, this is not a miracle, but a
medical emergency. This means that the blood
flow that causes an erection doesn’t eventually
leave the penis. Serious complications can
result, like blood clots and some major
damage.
Questions and Answers
Should I or should I not?
Seven months ago, my wife of 11 years
suddenly left my home unannounced with my
seven-year-old last child. I was so worried I
had to report the case to the police who after
series of searching, eventually discovered that
she actually moved to the house of one of my
church members, a wealthy business tycoon.
This became a court case and when she was
asked why she left without traces, she said it
was on the basis that I do not satisfy her
sexually. Now, she is begging to come back.
Should I take her back? Her insatiable sexual
craving has been a big issue since the inception
of our marriage. I can’t satisfy her even if I
over try.
Peter Ajukochi
This is a case of libidinal mismatch leading to
unfaithfulness, I think you both can still sit
and talk things over. There are quite a lot of
things to do together when couples’ sex drive
do not match. Amazingly, every human being
has untapped sexual potential in us. If she has
been complaining from the outset of your
union, what have you done to rectify the
situation? Bear it in mind that your low desire
affects your wife immensely; so you must
stretch yourself to take time to enhance your
libido. This will bond the two of you together
the more and grant you some discoveries about
your own sexuality. Take quality time to
discover your wife’s sexual peculiarities. It is
very wrong and unethical for your wife to
abandon her matrimonial home in search of a
momentary pleasure. But I would also plead for
your forgiveness. Since she has discovered her
mistakes, I am sure she will make it up to you.
Please take her back and in future, don’t
ignore her complaints.
Why should I be careful about semen
analysis?
I have done quite a number of semen analyses,
yet I can’t make my wife get pregnant. Why
should I be careful about semen analysis or
continue to carry out the same test?
Matins Matins
Are you sure you are carrying out the
necessary test? Frankly speaking, semen
analysis is not a measure of fertility; rather,
it is a measure of sperm production and sperm
delivery. So, a single semen analysis really
does not mean everything is normal or
abnormal. It just means there’s normal
production, normal delivery of sperm. Most
men, when there are concerns about fertility,
will be told to get a semen analysis. It is a
good thing but it is important that if a man has
concerns over fertility, he has at least two and
probably three separate semen analyses, each
one after three days of abstinence, each
about six to eight weeks apart. And then, and
only then, can you say you have successfully
completed the test.
Is it advisable to send a spy after my
partner?
If a husband or wife notices some suspicious
moves, activities and behaviour in the life of
his or her partner especially sexual life, Is it
advisable for the suspecting partner to send
spies to get adequate information before
taking necessary action, If no, why?
Simian Jubilee
I do not think it is a wise idea. One thing is
certain, there is nothing hidden that will not
be revealed over a period of time. And from
observation, when you are not too sure of
something, it is either you patiently wait for a
proper timing or you wisely confront your
spouse. And if he or she denies the
confrontation, you can just keep your calm.
Things will definitely reveal themselves sooner
than you think. But if you start sending spies
here and there, searching for information,
digging up stories, you may end up destroying
the very thing you want to protect. Where
mistrust, doubt, and suspicion reign, every air
that blows is a potential danger bomb.
Can erectile dysfunction prevent pregnancy?
Apparently yes but this depends greatly on
the degree and level of the erectile
dysfunction challenge. If it is a chronic
erectile dysfunction, it has 75-83 per cent of
preventing pregnancy, especially when the
erection is not hard enough for effective
ejaculation or when the man ejaculates just at
the tip of the vagina. If it is an acute erectile
dysfunction [ a sudden event of either
premature ejaculation or quick ejaculation],
there may be a likelihood of the man being able
to impregnate his wife when the man is
treated on time.

filed criminal charges against Senator
Yerima Bakura and 29 others at a Zamfara
High Court over alleged conspiracy to commit
armed robbery.
In a report by NAN, the counsel to the police, Oloye Torugbene, sought the leave of the court to prosecute the case, pursuant to the Criminal Procedure. He told the court that all relevant documents,including affidavits, exhibits, names and addresses of accused persons, as well as written statements of witnesses and the accused persons, had been submitted to the court. He, therefore, urged the court to proffer a criminal charge based on the evidence provided for prosecution.
He said, already, the accused persons who had been served arraignment notice, were released through police administrative bail and pleaded with the court to fix a date for hearing. The Chief Judge of the state, Justice Kulu Aliyu, said in a ruling that the court was competent to handle the case. Aliyu urged the prosecutor to serve the accused persons with all the relevant documents and fixed Jan. 13, 2014 for hearing.

Do you know that ASUU itself that prides it self as a union is fighting against the entrenchement of SUG( which is the student union body) in virtually every schools in the federation?their is virtually no SUG in most schools, thanks to them

For those of us especially the pro ASUU who thinks the government sack notice is a fluke, below was how the insistent strike in River state university of science and technology was curtail.

RSUST had been in the news over incessant
strike actions called by the local ASUU
headed by Felix Igwe over appointment of the
vice chancellor by the Visitor. The university
authorities and the state government later
lost patience and crushed the confrontation,
employing about 100 fresh lecturers to
replace recalcitrant ones. The rest rushed
back to classes. Later, the lecturers created
a slogan; “strike not an option.”
Now, lecturers in RSUST have disassociated
themselves from the strike. According to one
of them, “strikes are evil and destructive to
the education system.”
Adolphus Ejetobi, a professor and financial
management expert and lecturer in the
University, told BusinessDay in an exclusive
interview that they are not part of ASUU and
will not join the strike action. He said,
“RSUST is not part of ASUU. We are not on
strike. We have already agreed that strike is
no more an option in this University because
we see strike as evil and destructive to the
public university system. We believe in
dialogue and more so, RSUST is one of the
highest paid universities in Nigeria.”
Desmond Wosu, the public relations officer
[PRO], said the academic staff of RSUST
had no intention of embarking on any strike
action. “The lecturers that we employed do
not have any problem with the management of
this university nor do they have with the
Council. They are teaching,” he said.

THERE are indications that the strike
embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU) may be called off
anytime from now.
These indications emerged on Friday following a secret meeting of some branch chairmen of the union in Kano, which sources said might not be unconnected with an attempt at the resolution of the strike.
According to a source, the ASUU branch
chairmen, who came in their cars, parked the
vehicles at the old campus of the Bayero
University, Kano and then left in a bus for a
secret location for the meeting.
The source said the choice of a secret
location by the chairmen might be for security reasons. The branch chairmen at the meeting, it was gathered, included those from the North- West, South-South and South-West.

There is strong indication that academic
activities may resume in the nation’s public
universities early next week, Saturday Punch
has gathered. Our correspondent gathered on Friday that members of the National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of the Universities again converged on Kano to deliberate on whether to call off their over four months old industrial action or not. The NEC members, who gathered at the Bayero University, Kano, penultimate week to review the reports of the various university congresses over the strike, suspended the meeting following the death of Dr. Festus Iyayi. Iyayi, a University of Benin lecturer and former ASUU president, who died in an auto accident involving the convoy of the Kogi
State Governor, Idris Wada, on his way to
Kano to attend the NEC meeting.
There has been no date yet for the interment
of his remains. However, feelers from Kano on Friday indicated that the ASUU members went into hiding for the meeting. One of our correspondents gathered that the
NEC members, who reconvened in BUK, on
Thursday, retired to a secret location for the meeting. Reporters made frantic efforts to trace the venue of the meeting without success. But many vehicles belonging to the members of the union were seen on campus.
But a member of ASUU NEC, who craved
anonymity because he was not authorised to
speak on the development, confirmed to our
correspondent that the union leaders were
converging on Kano for the meeting.
According to him, though the union has lost a
leading member and an academic, they were
mindful of the feelings of the students and
the public over the protracted industrial
action. He noted that all the union’s national officers as well as other branch chairmen had arrived at the ancient city for the assembly.
However, attempts by our correspondent on
Friday evening to reach out to the University
of Lagos chapter ASUU Chairman, Dr. Karo
Ogbinaka, to confirm the meeting failed, as he did not pick his calls.
He also did not respond to the text message
sent to his telephone.
Ogbinaka had earlier said the academic
community was mourning Iyayi and so was not
in a hurry to fix a new date for the NEC
meeting. The telephone line of the union’s National President, Dr.Nassir Fagge, also did not go through. President Goodluck Jonathan had led a Federal Government team that met with the leadership of the union penultimate week. Following the discussion, the FG reportedly promised to inject N220bn yearly into the public universities for the next five years. The new offer is to begin from 2014.
A majority of the chapters of the union had
agreed on the suspension of the strike
following the fresh commitment the leadership of ASUU obtained from the FG.
Teachers in the nation’s three but 78 public
universities embarked on strike on July 1,
2013 to protest the failure of the FG to
implement the agreement they signed with the authorities in 2009. The pact largely centered on greater funding of the universities, a declaration of a state of emergency in tertiary education, better wages as well as payment of earned allowances to lecturers.
