EducationCrisis Hits Unilorin , Causes Delay In Release Of Admission List by kunki90(op): 3:37pm On Nov 06, 2017
Crisis Hits Unilorin as Outgone, Incumbent VCs Clash, Causes Delay In Release of Admission List




All seems not to be well with the leadership of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN as both the outgone Vice-chancellor, Prof. Abdulganiy Ambali and the incumbent VC, Prof. Abdulkareem Sulyman Age are reportedly at loggerheads, a development that has slightly affected the running of the school.

Kwara Daily gathered that this development is responsible for the delay in the release of the university’s admission list for the 2017/18 academic session. Applicants have been eagerly awaiting the release of the admission list since they wrote the university post utme early September.

According to sources within the institution, the current VC, Prof. Abdulkareem upon resumption of office, rejected the admission list prepared under the administration of Prof. Ambali due to perceived irregularities and ordered that the admission selection be started afresh.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday reported that alleged friction in the campus was as a result of the former vice-chancellor being locked out of the convocation venue on October 20, just a few days to the expiration of his tenure.

NAN reports that while it was true that Ambali was conspicuously absent at the venue on the the first day of the convocation, he was, however, in attendance on the second day.
Abdulkareem resumed his new position on October 16 following the expiration of the tenure of Ambali.

Sources, who were privy to the issue, stated that Ambali, who was in company of his friends and family members, was denied access into the campus through the main gate. He, however, reportedly detoured and followed a new route, which links the school from the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, only for the gate of the side to be also closed when the security guards sited him.

Ambali was said to have made frantic effort to get the new Vice-Chancellor through a phone call and Abdulkareem reportedly promised that keys would be brought to open the gate. The source said: “After over 45 minutes of Prof Ambali’s stay at the locked gate, his followers became agitated and wanted to cause crisis, which might disrupt the convocation.

“He, however, pleaded with them and urged them to follow him to his private residence.”
This, he said, was the reason why the former Unilorin chief was not part of the University council’s procession on the first day.

Collaborating the issue, a staff of the institution, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that less than 72 hours after Abdulkareem took over, he transferred no fewer than 28 staff in the office of the Vice-Chancellor and replaced them with his people with immediate effect.

He said that the action was against an advice that the staff should be allowed to stay to understudy them before any transfer. It was also gathered that both the Dean and Sub-deans of Students Affairs were also moved without any reason except that they were allegedly loyal to the former vice-chancellor.

All these actions, the staff alleged, was creating a tension and division among the staff of the institution.
Efforts to get the reaction of the former and incumbent VCs did not yield result.

The Head of Corporate Affairs Unit of the University, Kunle Akogun, however, denied the development saying that there was no friction between the outgone and current VCs of the university, describing the report as a rumour and urged the university community to ignore it.

Head, Corporate Affair Unit, Kunle Akogun

He told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Sunday that the report was just an imagination of those that did not mean well for the University. Akogun explained that there was no tension whatsoever in the school as there were no disagreement and misunderstanding between Ambali and Abdukareem.

He noted that the incumbent vice-chancellor even sang the accolade on his predecessor throughout the programmes of the University’s 33rd Convocation. Akogun also quoted the new boss to have pledged to continue with the good work the former VC engaged in during his five years reign at the University.

He disclosed that presently 69 projects were inaugurated during Ambali’s tenure.
RomanceMultiple Personality Disorder(mpd): The Other You We Just Didn’t Know Of. by kunki90(op): 10:59pm On Oct 11, 2017
What do you know about MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER MPD/DID? I know you might not just want to believe that there’s another”you” in you. Afterall, I can’t love the thought that another “me” does with my body, the things I wouldn’t naturally do by my own self. What am i really talking about? Previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder(MPD), DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder has been a controversial topic among psychiatrists today. DID is a severe form of dissociation involving lack of connection with your thoughts, memories, feelings, actions or your sense of identity. It is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities/personalities known as alters that continually have power over a person’s behavior. The alters have their own age, sex or race with different postures, gestures and distinct way of talking but they are actually all within the same person. When manifested, each alter reveals itself and controls individual behavior and thought. Are you getting me? Let’s go on… Symptoms attached to DID include depression,mood swings, suicidal tendencies, insomnia, anxiety and phobias,alcohol and substance abuse, auditory and visual hallucinations, eating disorders, amnesia, trances, time loss etc. Someone suffering from DID might just find themselves doing things they wouldn’t really do. It’s like being a passenger in your body while you ought to be the driver. So, does DID just happen or is it caused by something? Though causes are still vague, research indicates that alters are “born” in a response to a trauma, usually physical, sexual or emotional abuse, especially during childhood when the host’s mind cannot cope with a great deal of pain and the alter the comes to be to protect or feel the pain for the host. When these alters act, the sufferer loses track of everything and experiences some kind of time loss and might be completely oblivious of what is being done by an alter at that moment. Well, does it have a cure? Though there’s no exact cure for DID, a long term treatment plan can the helpful if the patient is committed. This could take an average of 5-7 years and it includes talk therapy/psychotherapy, hypnotherapy or hypnosis using Sodium Amytal and adjunctive therapy such as art or movement therapies. Though cases of DID are more pronounced in the Western World with 0.1-1% tendency in the general population, cases of MPD/ DID are almost none existent in our very beautiful Nigeria, but you just might not know… So the next time, someone sneezes in your face in a bus and does not apologize, don’t get angry. It might just be one of their alters and not them acting. Funny? Then, you’re a book lover, you might just like to read Sidney Sheldon’s “Tell Me Your Dreams” for a fictional (with facts) approach to DID. And you know, I’m too dumb to write all of this, so, my very brilliant other personality, Bleyyson , did. Anyways, I hope you have a very lovely day.

Politics; NYSC And Its Unlawful Discrimination Against NOUN Students By Elias Ozikpu by kunki90(op): 10:41pm On Aug 30, 2015
As Nigerians, one of the distasteful cultures that we grow up to inherit is
the flagrant disobedience of established laws which is often executed
with boundless impunity. One of the delusional convictions of those
championing this cause is the belief that their actions cannot be challenged by
anyone, however grave and unlawful such actions may be. This is largely so
since the society, for quite a long time in the history of its existence, has
consciously encouraged and even nurtured the culture of indiscipline,
recklessness and total disregard for the laws of the land. The result of this
unfortunate system is that it has successfully created a society with
individualistic government, thereby invalidating the supreme laws of the land.
This is a monumental tragedy and the reason for which our society has
acquired a broken leg. More disheartening is the reality that the vices
responsible for this deformity have grown so bold and ravenous!
To avoid misconceptions of all shapes and sizes, it is proper to emphatically
state that this article is solely aimed at questioning the unlawful decision of
the authorities of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to debar fellow
students of the National Open University of Nigeria from participating in the
one year service scheme like other universities across the nation. That no one
has risen to properly challenge this deplorable decision strikes me with unusual
puzzlement.
I must, unapologetically, affirm that there is no legal ground on which the
authorities of NYSC should bar students of the National Open University of
Nigeria or any accredited university in Nigeria from participating in the
scheme. I will prove this by presenting clauses as contained in the NYSC Act.
Whilst I present these clauses, certain words may be capitalised for emphasis.
Such emphasis are entirely mine, employed to achieve certain effects:
Section 2(1) of the NYSC Act says:
'Subject to the provision of this Decree, EVERY NIGERIAN shall
a. if, at the end of the academic year 1972-73 or, as the case may be, at the
end of any subsequent academic year, he shall have graduated at ANY
university in Nigeria.'
Quite obviously, the Act did not indicate the exclusion of graduates of National
Open University of Nigeria or any other accredited university. It explicitly said
ANY UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA, and National Open University is clearly not a
Congolese institution. I challenge the authorities of the NYSC to repudiate the
existence of this clause. My deduction, therefore, is that the ongoing
discrimination against fellow students of National Open University of Nigeria is
the product of those running the agency, who have resorted to apply personal
sentiments in a desperate attempt to squash ethical standards.
Although the Act did provide, in clearly written clauses, circumstances that
may render certain graduates ineligible to participate in the Service Corps,
these clauses pointed no finger at students of National Open University of
Nigeria or any other accredited university in the country. I have presented the
clauses below whilst putting the general public on the Judge's seat:
Section 2 (2) says:
'Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, with effect
from 1st August, 1985, a person shall not be called upon to serve in the
service corps; at the date of his graduation or obtaining his diploma or other
professional qualification -
a. He is over the age of thirty
b. He has served in the armed forces of the Federation or the Nigeria Police
Force for a period of more than nine months
c. He is a member of any of the following, that is:
i. The Nigerian Security Organisation
ii. The State Security Service
iii. The National Intelligence Agency
iv. The Defence Intelligence Service
d. He has been conferred with any National Honour.
After rendering the above clauses as contained in the NYSC Act, it remains to
me an inscrutable mystery why authorities of NYSC should unlawfully debar
Nigerian graduates from National Open University of Nigeria and with no one
raising an eyebrow at the scale of such brazen injustice. I should like to learn,
is this facile discrimination a way of questioning the intellectual competence
of graduates of the institution? Or a way of expressing inordinate antipathy
towards these graduates? Let me say, with boundless certitude that the
feeling of antipathy and the obvious scepticism they nurse as regards our
intellectual competence have nicely manifested into this fully-fledged
discrimination.
The point of my observations should be quite clear by now, namely that the
NYSC scheme is NOT the prerogative of any university in Nigeria as the
authorities of the agency have made it to be! And that the authorities of
NYSC are legally incapacitated to debar graduates of the National Open
University of Nigeria or any other accredited university in Nigeria from
participating in the scheme. That this simple truth is glossed over is largely
due to the fact that (as I stated at the beginning of this article), our society
has fostered a world where scorning or trampling on established laws attract a
standing ovation. Preposterous!
I have previously read articles telling stories about how NYSC awards
'Certificate of Exemption' to graduates of National Open University of Nigeria.
Doing so is to brutally insult the intellectual sensibilities of these students who
are not less gifted than their counterparts in other universities. Can no one see
the unreserved antipathy that this agency holds towards these students? Can
no one feel the undercurrent hostility against a group of students who clearly
have the backing of the law on the matter under reference? That the
authorities of the National Open University of Nigeria have made no single
reference to the NYSC Act, a document recognised in Section 315 (5) (a) of
the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, leaves behind a trail
of questions on the supposed spirited efforts by the University to ensure its
students are mobilised for the Service Corps exercise. It is unthinkable that
the world should continue to look on with such utter silence whilst some
individuals run the terrible risk of creating factions in our academic
community. In the midst of this ominous situation, what appears frightening to
me is that no one seems to understand the insidious implications of allowing
the survival of such factions.
Partnering in this despicable business of discrimination against graduates of
National Open University of Nigeria is the Council of Legal Education (CLE)
that has firmly sworn never to admit Law graduates from National Open
University of Nigeria into the Nigerian Law School. Well, let me not dance with
two deadly masquerades in the face of this terrible night. God willing, I will
strongly address the Council of Legal Education on their discriminatory stance
in another article.
For now, what I must say is that we cannot embark on this dangerous trip of
celebrating prejudice without undermining our own progress and civilisation as
a nation and as a people. To this, I must seek your permission to quote a very
brilliant assertion by one of the world's greatest thinkers and writers, Professor
Chinua Achebe. Hear him:
'America, which we copy when it suits us, should provide an excellent example to
us in this connection: that although we may not be able to legislate prejudice and
bigotry out of the hearts and minds of individual citizens, the state itself and all
its institutions must not practice, endorse or condone such habits.'
Professor Chinua Achebe made this loud cry thirty-two years ago, some years
before Providence ushered me into a world where justice is sadly the scarcest
commodity. It is not surprising, therefore, that with the pace of civilisation in
the 21st century, individuals and even state-owned institutions in Nigeria are
still being pictured casting narcissistic glances at the garments of
discrimination in which they clad. With the weight of this guilt resting so
precariously upon us, I am left with the heart-rending conclusion that we quite
do not have the moral justification to question the consistent racial prejudice
that our compatriots get subjected to in the West. Doing so would be quite
hypocritical, to say the least. Indeed, the wanton and colossal destruction
inflicted upon the Nigerian soul by these champions of discrimination is simply
unforgivable!
There exist no tenable reasons for negotiating, pleading, or holding discussions
of any kind with those heading the Service Corps in a bid to persuade them to
'consider' students of National Open University of Nigeria to participate in a
scheme for which they already have the full endorsement of the law. But here
lies the unprepossessing antithesis of life, particularly in a society like ours
where injustice has been so extolled to a point where the victim, unfortunate
as always, must be loud in heaping adulatory songs upon his fierce-looking
oppressor.
Although the management of NYSC may not be armed with the natural
decency to render any apology to students of National Open University of
Nigeria for this long-standing injustice, they must, however, reverse their
unlawful decision within the maximum period of one month from the date of
this publication. In the event that they insist on treading on this anarchical
path, authorities of the National Open University of Nigeria should, on the
reliable strength of the quoted clauses contained in the NYSC Act, immediately
take DECISIVE STEPS to ensure that it defends the interest of its victimised
students, using the appropriate channels as prescribed by the law. If the
University fails to intervene in spite of the revelation of the above clauses,
such silence shall be construed as complicity.
For now, this is what I have to say on the lingering issue of NYSC at the
National Open University of Nigeria. And now that I have cleared the heavy
cloud in my heart, sleep will pay me a visit tonight!
PoliticsIt’s 500 Days, And Chibok Girls Are Not Back by kunki90(op): 10:28pm On Aug 30, 2015
It is now 500 days since the abduction of 276 schoolgirls from Government
Girls Secondary School Chibok, Borno state, and 219 of them have still not
been freed.
In the night of April 14, 2014, the marauding insurgents besieged the school,
carting off the girls in trucks and torching the building. It was a commando
operation, sinister in conception and daring in operation.
Although Boko Haram had been trafficking in the abduction of women and
children, the Chibok case, due to the number of girls involved, was
convincingly unprecedented.
Surprisingly, the immediate past government of Goodluck Jonathan responded
feebly to calls for the rescue of the schoolgirls; it spent the first week after
the incident drawing clouds in the air and munching conspiracy theories.
The lacklustre pose of the Jonathan administration to the incident irked
concerned citizens, and soon a movement crystallised – the
“Bringbackourgirls” campaign group.
Technically, it began on April 30, and a week after, the advocacy group – led
by Obiageli Ezekwesili, former minister of education and Hadiza Bala Usman,
chief of staff to Nasir el-Rufai, the Kaduna state governor – led a protest to
the national assembly, in the crucible to demand immediate rescue of the
girls.
In the blitz of the rain, David Mark, former senate president and Aminu
Tambuwal, former speaker of the house of representatives, received the group,
which at that time “commandeered” about 1000 protesters.
The lawmakers gave assurances that they would ratchet up pressure on the
government for the safe rescue of the girls. This was in May, 2014. But sadly,
to this day, the schoolgirls are still captives to some blood hounds.
The Ezekwesili-led citizens’ group did not let up. They took their cry to the
defence headquarters, to the office of the national security adviser and even
to the presidency, but got assurances that thinned out with the exit of that
administration.
However, the campaign gingered up and mushroomed international appeal and
call for the rescue of the Chibok girls. Global personalities like Michelle Obama
and Hillary Clinton adopted the advocacy slogan, “Bringbackourgirls.” Even
celebrities cued in.
As the movement for the rescue of the Chibok girls assumed a global
dimension, the world became more attuned to the atrocities of Boko Haram in
Nigeria.
So with more global media attention, some countries like the United States
(US) and the United Kingdom (UK) offered to help search for the girls, but
their effort petered out in rumours of conspiracy.
President Muhammadu Buhari has said the rescue of the girls and the
extermination of insurgency are his “select-executive” actions. He has since
planted the military command control centre in Borno, and has rallied the
support of regional leaders in the “holy” fight against Boko Haram.
Interestingly, in June, just a few weeks after he took the oath of office, he
invited the advocacy group to the presidential villa, in a show of solidarity. He
also provided buses to convey members of the group to the villa. But his
predecessor had repeatedly turned down requests for an audience with the
group.
In one of the citizens’ movement aborted protest to the villa, former President
Goodluck Jonathan had sent his ministers to “waylay” the protesting group on
the road leading to the villa. There, the ministers conveyed the message of
the president to the group.
According to Olajumoke Akinjide, former minister of state for the FCT,
Jonathan told the group to direct its campaign against Boko Haram and not
his government.
So, it was not surprising when a pirate group, ‘#Releaseourgirlsnow’ emerged
to counter the campaign of the pioneer, ‘#Bringbackourgirls’ group. Thugs
were also unleashed on the group. Yet it remains dauntless.
Although Buhari has given a rather warm disposition to the campaign for the
rescue of the Chibok girls, it is still early in the day to say the Buhari
government has failed to do its duty to the girls. Let us hope that within the
three-month time limit given to the military to crush Boko Haram, the Chibok
girls will return to the waiting arms of Nigerians, and indeed their parents.
The advocacy group for the rescue of the girls has kicked off a series of
activities to commemorate 500th-day of the abduction, and they have vowed
to keep standing until the girls return – because it is not in anyone’s interest
for the 1,000th day of abduction to be commemorated.
PoliticsFLASHBACK: The Coup Speech That Overthrew Buhari On August 27, 1985… by kunki90(op): 10:21pm On Aug 30, 2015
I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the
following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian
Armed Forces.
Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was
welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were
unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to
progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become
clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.
Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no
other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group
of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and
interest.
No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there
is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has
become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as
a body it lacks a unity of purpose.
It is evident that the nation would be endangered with the risk of continuous
misdirection. We are presently confronted with that danger. In such a situation,
if action can be taken to arrest further damage, it should and must be taken.
This is precisely what we have done.
The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of
the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was
due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.
Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian
government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due
to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the
business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power
play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has,
therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few
members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies
and decision.
The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and
illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the
government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met
with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or
disloyalty.
Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed
oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary
opposition rather than to effective leadership.
The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a
whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be
getting any better as we witness daily increased inflation.
The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive
ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings
and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been
ignored.
This is because a few people have arrogated to themselves the right to make
the decisions for the larger part of the ruling body. All these events have
shown that the present composition of our country’s leadership cannot,
therefore, justify its continued occupation of that position.
Furthermore, the initial objectives and programmes of action which were
meant to have been implemented since the ascension to power of the Buhari
Administration in January 1984 have been betrayed and discarded. The present
state of uncertainty and stagnation cannot be permitted to degenerate into
suppression and retrogression.
We feel duty bound to use the resources and means at our disposal to restore
hope in the minds of Nigerians and renew aspirations for a better future. We
are no prophets of doom for our beloved country, Nigeria. We, therefore, count
on everyone’s cooperation and assistance.
I appeal to you, fellow countrymen, particularly my colleagues in arms to
refrain from any act that will lead to unnecessary violence and bloodshed
among us. Rest assured that our action is in the interest of the nation and the
armed forces.
In order to enable a new order to be introduced, the following bodies are
dissolved forthwith pending further announcements: (a) The Supreme Military
Council (b) The Federal Executive Council (c) The National Council of States.
All seaports and airports are closed, all borders remain closed.
Finally, a dusk to dawn curfew is hereby imposed in Lagos and all state
capitals until further notice. All military commanders will ensure effective
maintenance of law and order. Further announcements will be made in due
course. God bless Nigeria.

1. “ Our economy should not have been this bad. When I was leaving office
about eight years ago , I left a very huge reserve after we had paid all our
debts . Almost $25 billion we kept in what they called excess crude. The
excess from the budget we were saving as reserve for the rainy days . When
we left in May 2007 , the reserve was said to have been raised to $35 billion . ”
Today , that reserve has been depleted . The reserve we left when we
finished paying all our debts , our debts that was about 40billion dollars , that
is including debt forgiveness, the remaining debt was not more than $3billion .
Our reserve after we had paid off this debt was about $45billion . As I said ,
they continued till the end of 2007 , I heard that the reserve increased to
almost $ 67billion before the end of the year . Our reserve now , learnt is left
with around only $30 billion . ”OBJ ON GEJ'S ADMINISTRATION ....SO MUCH MONEY SCATTERED ALL OVER EVEN THE PRESIDENCY NOR HIS SUBORDINATES DOES NOT KNOW WHICH IS WHICH........
