"Odumeje-indabosky" -A disgrace to Christianity


“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves"
Matthew 7:15

Greetings to our brothers and sisters in the name of our lord jesus christ, As many may want to say that it is not my right and even biblical to judge anyone, Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven" the bible also note that John 7:24 "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” with this I think I am right to call out the general overseer mountain of holy ghost and deliverance ministries popularly called odumeje.

In recent times, the videos of prophet chukwuemeka odumeje has surfaced on the internet with the popular chants of indabosky and some incantations which is against the teaching of our lord jesus christ.

The first thing we should look at, is the act in which he performs miracles, which I feel it's a crime against humanity, I don't understand the rationale behind performing miracles like there is a royal rumble or something similar to a John cena vs undertaker fight. The bible told us how our lord jesus christ performed miracles in Mark 1:30-31 "Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them" if we call ourselves christ-like we should behave as one. The introduction of thuggery to the christendom is shameful and the national chistain bodies should act fast.

Pastor odumeje as seen on the internet dancing to worldly songs and display of money at the mall are attitudes that's shouldn't be exhibited by respected men of God in our society, although those who use it for clouts and bring ridicule to the church might not agree with me, I believe that the church integrity is at stake, therefore for us not to be seen as extremist we cannot take laws into our hands, but there's a need for the leadership of Christians in Nigeria to look into the matter.

Most of his preachings are Used as comic relief, there's absolutely no sense in what he's saying, I'm not condemning his grammar or the way he pronounces words, but the fact that he chants some words like he's in the shrine is pathetic at the same time thought provoking, this attitude have generated a lot of controversies on the internet , with daily debate on the authenticity of his calling. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come" Prophet odumeje is not only a christain but a Christian leader, his acts are of the old ways and those not shows that truly he is a man called by God.

Our lord jesus christ gave us some warning about the end time and false prophets as seen below:

(Matt. 24:4-5), “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.
(2 Tim. 4:3-4), “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
Truly the end is here and christain need to be careful where they worship, and the way of life that their leaders live, prophet odumeje is leading young folks astray and if care is not taken, a lot of young people out there will copy similar character and before we know it, the Christian family will be polluted. This is a call to the Christian association of Nigeria and other christain bodies, to form a panel of enquiry on the mountain of holy ghost ministries owned by prophet chukwuma odumeje.


2 Timothy 4:2, NIV: "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."

The northern hegemony and the thirst for blood and power; By @omobabaijebu

The amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorate in 1914, gave birth to what we have today called Nigeria, if you agree with me , since our independence in 1960, it has been difficult for Nigerians to live as one big family, from the first coup in Nigeria led by General ckukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, to the Nigeria -biafra war and other coup d'etat led by soldiers of the federal republic of Nigeria, it is evident that it's impossible for us to live together as one, which makes the one Nigeria campaign a hoax.

The northerners have always seen themselves as the superior and they have a common believe that Nigeria belong to them, there is a popular saying among them that, "they are born to rule" of course they are born to rule , no thanks to the British government who handed over the affairs of the nation to them and ensured that they enjoy at the expense of the southerners.

In 2015 Alhaji lawal Keita a senior citizen of this country and one of the northern leaders said that " A northerner must emerge else we will divide", such inciting statement from an elder statesman was uncalled for, as it was capable of setting the country on fire, are we going to neglect the fact that from 1960 to date, we have got more northerners rule this country than the other region (The south ) so what's wrong if Jonathan decide to go for a re-election.


Also that same year Dr junaid Mohammed, who is also a leader in the north said that "there will be bloodshed if Jonathan run in 2015" this leaders have forgotten that it is within his right to contest any position in the country and for our country to develop we must look beyond religious and ethnic lines, the best man must be put forward, which is left for the citizens to vote in who they feel it's right, Although a northern candidate emerged after the general election, should things have turned out the other way, there are probability that by today Nigeria will only exist on paper.

The love of power and the thirst for blood by the northerners when they are denied leadership position can be seen in the remarks of General Muhammad Buhari before 2015 elections, he told people that came to visit him in Kaduna that it will be bloody if the election is not transparent, one could wonder if Buhari was the inec chairman to determine if the election is transparent or not, As a respected citizen of the country why threaten violence when an election have not been conducted ? Should Buhari have lost that election the southerners living in the north would have been the target and many of them would be killed like chicken.

Recall that Abdulaziz sulaiman the spokesman of coalition of northern groups gave the federal government a 30 days ultimatum over the controversial RUGA settlement policy as reported in the punch online newspaper, he was quoted to have said that "the north isn't weak to defend itself" what does that mean? Why do the north see every means for them to spill blood whether between their southern counterparts or the minority northern Christians. I can continue to bring more examples on how the north on several occasion have threatened our peace as a nation.

The new generation have taken from their fathers "born to rule behavior" recently the #IamNorth on Twitter, where northern youths take pride in how there leaders have enslaved the south and dominate the political arena of our country, a user named truth seeker said
"Nigeria is ours , we will keep ruling and leading Nigeria , leadership is in our genes coz we are Northerners , if you don’t want us to lead you , just gather your belongings and leave Nigeria." This is the thought of an average northerner toward the south. It should be written on every where that the south are not slaves, and federal character needs to be respected.



Just like beans and bread, to the north power and blood is the same, they don't mind going through the hole of a needle to get power, but what they fail to understand is that you can get power by any means you which to, even if it means killing your brother, but power come with so many things, from knowing where to use it, to proper distribution and respect for federal character and rule of law. The northerners are blinded by power as such they see other regions to be inferior to them.

Take a look at the result from the last presidential election, it will be difficult for any southerner to win elections, without the full support of the north, without electoral reform, results may be written up north without proper election and at the end the winner will emerge from the north, the fact that the two leading party produced northern candidate shows that, in terms of power Nigeria is built around the north and they are here to stay for a very long time, unless the south is ready to take up the fight and get their right.

The Muhammad Buhari administration have not hidden their hate for southerners, from 2015 northerners have been given juicy appointments, controlled our militarywhile thet subject our politicians in the south to political witchhunt and harrassment. While many writers don't go with the idea of federal character, but competence, we must ask ourselves in the south if there's no one who is competent among us ? Our political leaders are been painted corrupt to give ways for their northern allies and at the end we all claim that we are one.


To the northerners since they are ruling, everything is seen natural and normal, it doesn't matter to them if others are hurting, or even if there's a need for them to be aware of the workings of the government. Nigeria is for all of us , and if we must succeed as a nation, the north must see herself as equal to the south.


Long live federal republic of Nigeria

@omobabaijebu

what does this mean

president Buhari and his team of sycophants -omobabaijebu

To God be the glory, finally the president of the country finally heard our prayers tweets and post, it was a nice feeling to see our president again even if some quarters agree that the so called press conference was pre-recorded, at least that has perished the thought whether the president is around or not.

Ever since, the God people of this country have been asking the president to address the nation, especially a time like this where there is a global epidemic and on a regular basis we have seen president's of sister countries address their respective nation.

In November 2012 senator victor Ndomma-Egba sponsored a bill to provide an act for the state of nation address by the president, but then the bill didn't pass through as the Senate agreed that it is unconstitutional for the president to address Nigeria via a media chat and if he must do that, he must come to the national assembly, constitutionally its not mandatory for the president to address Nigerians from time to time, but in difficult time it's expected that he speaks and assures Nigerians of safety.

The presidential address yesterday made many of his sycophants looks stupid, most of them gave the entire nation over 100 reason why he should not adress us, all I can say is that shame to them, it high time they stop embarrassing their generations, and be patriotic. patriotism should be to the country and not to the leader, you can't support fraud and claim to be patriotic, the biggest challenge of the Muhammad Buhari administration is sycophants surrounding him, they will never tell him truth.


With the result of the chief of staff to the president testing positive to covid-19, rumours have been flying around that the president might have been infected with the virus, considering his closeness between the duo, as it stands now, Nigeria is like a bus without its driver, and like our people will say it's better for your "child to die, than for him to get lost"


I have read various tweets and articles defending the president with some people going as far as threatening opposition voices for daring to ask about the whereabouts of their president, this is not only troubling, it's a difficult situation we are into. we must continue to ask where is president Buhari ?

Series of press release by the presidential media team is not enough, as we are not sure that he's aware, all we need is an address, this will be enable us to rate the intellectual capacity of our president, is plan and way forward, the careless statement made by the special assistant to the president on media Mr femi Adesina, that the failure of the president to address the nation is as a result of his leadership style, is insensitive because one could wonder what leadership style warrants that he doesn't address the nation, even during the military regime in a situation like this,the leader would have address the nation.

President Buhari is a problem himself, owing to the fact that he has always been traveling to London for treatments, but his hallelujah boys are more of a problem to him than his health, defending incompetence and failure is a threat to national development. no country makes progress when sycophants are within the corridor of power, to them it is about defending their leader than defending the masses, we all know it's their job to protect the image of the president likewise it's their job to take the plea of the masses to him.

Nobody knows the true state of health of our president, till today not even those who call themselves aides are sure of what's wrong with the president, this action will allow the citizens believe whatever they see on the internet.

if the president must perform as expected then he must do away with his hallelujah boys.

Vibes with Dj Tuzo: The birth of a monster on the wheels of steel by Omobabaijebu[b][/b]

For the very time in my life, I have the opportunity to attend a show, not just an ordinary one but fun filled, it was a pleasant moment and I enjoyed every bit of my time, I was not happy at first because looking left and right I could see a lot of sexy ladies, as a single guy I stayed glued to my phone, a fucking unhappy me will still "gbese" irrespective of my present situation.

Let me use this medium to greet my special friend, Damilare, he's tuzo younger brother and the inspiration why I am here today, I never had the intention of coming but after we crossed path, I decided to turn up, I like his energy when tuzo was coming on stage at first, I was rooting for my guy not to loose his voice, keep up the energy brother, you and your team are going places.

Music's plays a key role in our lives and there's nothing more sweet than when a Dj is mixing the old and new generation music, I must say today event redefines our music, honestly your party is not complete without a Dj, the likes of Dj small and A4 also played key role In today's event, the marlian music mix by Dj A4 got the student on their feet with everyone screaming to the high heavens.

The energy of king Tife is on another level, never knew he was a hype man, his delivery was mad, contents was top notch and he got the building electrified again, I am proud to identify with people like that, whatever you do, ensure that you put your best in it, one day it will surely be your turn. Never will I forget the effort of the director of photography of this event, Elite photography was everywhere, captured the shots and I can't wait to see the pictures.
.

The second coming of Dj tuzo, got me sitting right there with two beautiful ladies beside me shaking the bum, the hard guy in me is smiling now, "mo ti ready ati gbe body" the official hype man setting me in the mood already and nothing is stopping this gbedu, somebody hold my school public relations officer, videoing every moment but this crowd won't let her pass, the tears on the face of tuzo is a symbol of love, I could only imagine myself seeing this lots of love from people I barely know, this is a testament that Dj tuzo remains the best we have in our community at large. This were the highlight my eyes could catch or reach, but trust me if Dj tuzo should hold another program I am definitely coming.

The likes of Dj Jimmy jatt, Dj kaywise and Dj spinal, are notable names in the industry, they started small and today they are a force to reckon with, the magic fingers of Dj tuzo is incomparable, his life and gameplay should serve as motivation to every one's pushing, the road may seem rough but one day you will get to your peak. To the students who showed up today, you made this event a memorable one, without you there will be no show today, this is the kind of energy we need, we need to support our own, a win for him is a win for all of us.

There's no program without its ups and downs, today the electricity wanted to spoil the show, but in between of the shenanigans we still had maximum fun, the upcoming artists too also try to fit in their best, I'm optimistic that in the nearest future, event hosted by bosscity will put all the shortcomings into consideration.


I will end it here with the word of the legendary Naira Marley, "Dj tuzo fans come forward the rest Bleep off"

internationalman:
Stop saying ''again'' as if it was ever great before.


They should just share the national money evenly and let everyone find their way to the country of their choice

As funny as this sounds, it's never the solution

ludd2018:
Keep on dreaming . Nigeria 'll never be great . No progress where there is infighting n too much hate amongst nations in Nigeria.

Every one seems to be saying one negative thing or the other, but then this is not the solution.

Arda1000:
Keep decieving urselfs..... Waiting for Nigeria to be great while Politicians ship the money away....
Bt abeg when was Nigeria great?

Well we just need to be positive, it all fall back to the citizens, we need to stop electing foolish leaders or recycling old politicians

MOSHOOD1044:
We all have a stake in the country. To contribute our quota is to make a successful country.

We can
We will
We must.

I believe Nigeria will be great and we will all witness it.

NwaNimo1:
Its never been great and never will.

Don't say this in our lifetime Nigeria will be great

NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN[b][/b]

"They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you declares the LORD"

My country people, I brought a message of hope to you this morning, from the Bible verse above you will see that our politicians in respective of the political parties they belong, have chosen a battle against the citizens, though they have their way now but surely they cannot overcome us.

As citizens of this great country, we need to come together to champion the course of a better Nigeria, we need to think about ourselves and the generation to come, if we don't and we allow them to have their way, they will eat up the federation and nothing will be left.

From a country ranked to be the fastest growing economy to a country globally known as the poverty capital of the world, this is shameful as our leaders have failed us in all capacity, the 2020 budget presented by the president shows that there is no headway for a better country, we keep living in debt that even the 10th generation cannot pay.

Budgeting 48 billion Naira for education shows that the present administration don't value knowledge, this didn't catch me as a surprise because the president himself doesn't value education, the only way the poor can be exposed is by giving them formal education, our leaders deliberately want to kill education so thar they can have their way, without education it's easy to manipulate brains to make them believe anything they say.

Let's talk about security and how government official have locked up critics, the security of the country has worsens, our army generals are fighting wars with fasting and prayer instead of going to war with guns and war equipment, about 743 soldiers have been buried in the north east, the figures keep rising and our leaders are bereft of ideas on how to end insurgency in the country, some government official will rather fight critics instead of contributing their quota to fight injustice, from Joseph odok to Abba jalingo to Stephen kefas and dadiyata. Most of them are paying the price for holding their government accountable.

Our health care facility as at today is in a state of comatose, most of our government own hospital don't have neccesary equipment to take care of the citizens, some don't have doctors to attend to them, our best hands are leaving the country, seeking greener pastures elsewhere , their country of birth have failed them, and since they don't want to be a failure theh have to move.

Are we going to forget poverty in the land, No we can't, they don't even rate us, they want civil servant with a family of four to spend #22, 500 while they spend billions doing nothing. The present government use every meduim they have to glorify poverty and advise citizens to live within their means, the means they failed to live to, our leaders are worst than the devil but can we blame them? We can keep blaming them but we should blame ourselves the most as we keep voting fools into power.

The masses need to come under one umbrella, seek for Electoral reform and ensure that our votes count, Nigeria will be great again but as citizen we have a huge role to play, not only electing leaders also demanding great leadership from them, we shouldnt allow them rest until they fufil their campaign promises.

They have started again, using sycophants to push there 2023 ambition, but then the lucky ones among us are not wise enough to ask them if they have delivered on the purpose they were elected? God has giving Nigeria all it needs to succeed, it left to us to do what is needful.

May God help our leaders to lead us right.

Nigeria at 59 : The fall of a great country. By @Omobabaijebu101

My country men and women let me take us back a bit to 2009, when the federal government of nigeriabrought about the vision 2020, the goal then was that by "2020 Nigeria will be one of the 20 largest economies in the world, able to consolidate its leadership role in Africa and establish itself as a significant player in the global economic and political arena"
Nigeria economy covers manufacturing, finance, service communications, technology and entertainment sectors. Nigeria is ranked 27th largest economy in the world, 7th place short of its 20th position mark in 2009, with few month to go, I don't think it's possible for Nigeria to meet the mark.
Let's no forget that Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa but how as it affected the life of a common man?
In the year 1999 the unemployment rate of Nigeria was at 4.01% with a population of over 119 million, that is a larger percentage of our people have one or two things they were doing to earn a living, between 1999 to 2019 Nigeria population has increased to 200 million, that's about twice the figure we have in 1999, but then the unemployment is currently on the high at 23%, it means more people lost their job or investments.
Our leaders are selfish and corrupt, most of them have held up to power since 1999 with nothing to show for the role they have played in developing Nigeria.
From unemployment to insecurities to lack of basic amenities to lack of basic health facilities e.t.c, our politicians have not been able to build the Nigeria of our dream for the past 59 years, today they will all gather to celebrate independence, in the right sense we are still in bondage, the only difference is that before it was the white men that were holding us but now it's our politicians that are holding us to ransom.
In the year 2015, when the leadership of president Muhammadu Buhari came on board, they promised heaven and earth, they promise to drive the country on the right path and bring back the glory days, little do we know that we are in for a 8-year torture and bad governance.
The last 4years Nigeria lacked quality leadership, instead of celebrating 59th indepence with lots of achievements, Nigeria will be rembered by the rest of the world has the poverty capital of the world, Nigeria is not safe to give birth, Nigeria has the highest out of school children, the list can go on, On how our leaders have failed us.
The north east /north west have seen bandits and Boko haram take almost half of the villages, instead of fighting insurgency our leaders have resulted to spiritual warfare or paying ransom to this set of wicked people, how do we fight insurgency when the government encourage them to do more by paying or praying for them. The special anti robbery squad, are the latest killers and extortionist in town, killing and extorting innocent citizens of their hard earned money, regards to people who have lend their voices to speak up against the oppression from the men of the police force.
In 1967 when idea of Biafra started and led to the Civil War, one would have thought that Nigeria will split, but after the war ended in 1970 we were able to come together as one for the development of our dear nation, today we are more divided due to the attitude of our leaders, today we can say two indepence day are being celebrated, while one his on record as October 1 the other is used as a Remembrance day for the Biafra agitation, in the right sense we all know that day is a sign that the people needs freedom. This division is everywhere, we are now blinded by our ethnic affiliation even into government position, the current leadership have abandoned federal character.
The recent clampdown on the press also show our we have deteriorated, freedom of speech is no longer guaranteed, about 10 or more persons have been arrested and are in detention for holding their government accountable, the recent one is dadiyata who was kidnapped from his home in August and till today he hasn't been found. Is this how we will continue? Is this the dream of our founding fathers? These are question on the lips of every Nigerian, lack of leadership have drawn us back and at 59 we can only conclude that Nigeria is 59 years backwards.

May Almighty God heal our land

*Delivering Effective unionism* : my account on *Yusuf Ismail* [b][/b](leading presidential aspirant)

Written by *@omobabaijebu101* on Twitter.

*Greatest Nigeria students!! Articulate Laspotians!!*

It's no longer a news that my brother,  The symbol of hope is no longer in the race of the top most seat of the union, it's within my right as a student of this great institution to search for credible candidate, which I feel has the interest of students at heart, the search went four couple of days, and after declaration of position by various candidate, my brother *Yusuf Ismail* happens to be the best man for the job.

In this piece, I will take us around on the achievement and what the *Yusuf Ismail* administration is all about, it's benefit to Laspotians and a need for us to support him.

Within our school, *Yusuf Ismail* has been useful to his department, faculty and the entire school, in the year 2016/2017 he was the Vice President for the department of food technology, his immense contribution to the development are there for record purposes, little wonder he enjoys the support of all members of the department.

In terms of leadership he has shown to be distinctive during his time at UTIVA in 2017 where he served as the team lead, with the help of God he has been able to deliver in every capacity of leadership he finds himself, this is divinely given and I believe he will reciprocate such when he's elected as the president of the student union government.

He was a volunteer member at the Lagos Digital Summit, 2018 and Marketting Edge Summit 2019 coupled with his role as the social media manager for let's learn Africa, this is to tell you how digital our school will be, the social media presence, using this mediums to increase the finance of our institution.

The *Yusuf Ismail* administration will be an all inclusive one, where every one's opinions count, he's youthful, unique, smart, faithful and has a great understanding on how the union government is runned.

His intellectual capacity and his mode of addressing issue is top notch, very responsive and responsible in discharging his duties, what more do you need of a president, *Yusuf Ismail* is a 7 in 1 package that all Laspotians must embrace, support and vote him in the next election.

A *Yusuf Ismail* administration will bring about stiff competition with other schools who will be trying to emulate his style of governance, Laspotians will be proud of his administration and will be great full to God for giving us the kind of leader we have.

I have a great faith in him that he will perform beyond expectations and I'm calling on fellow students to also look at the choices before us, put them on a scale of preference and see what I'm saying about his candidature, let's come out en mass to support him and vote him on election day.

I remain *Omobabaijebu*.

suicide is not an option :An appeal to student of  LASPOTECH. BY @LASPOTECH_HYPE



Notorious B. I. G said in one of his hits songs “I swear to God I want to just slit my wrists and end this bullshit and squeeze until the bed's completely Red. I'm glad I'm dead, a worthless fuckin' buddha head the stress is buildin' up, I can't control it. I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me but nah, you wouldn't understand. Suicide's on my fuckin' mind, I wanna leave"

Depression which happens to be the cause of suicide didn't start today, it affect everyone irrespective of the complexion, marital status, financial status and so on. According to wikipedia, SUICIDE is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Mental disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse—including alcoholism and the use of benzodiazepines—are risk factors. Some suicides are impulsive acts due to stress, such as from financial difficulties, troubles with relationships, or bullying.

Suicide is a complex issue involving numerous factors and should not be attributed to any single cause. Not everyone who took their life was diagnosed with mental illness and not all people with  mental illness make an attempt to take their life. Suicide often stems from a deep feeling of hopelessness, the inability to see solutions to problems or to cope with challenging life circumstances may lead people to see suicide as the only option to what is really a temporary situation.

Depression is a key risk factor for suicide; others include psychiatric disorders, substance use, chronic pain, a family history of suicide, and a prior suicide attempt. Suicide is the result of actions taken to deal with intolerable mental anguish and pain, fear or despair that overwhelms an individual’s value for living and hope in life.


At the end of the tunnel, there is always light but it takes consistency and perseverance to see the light. Suicide has become a norm among the youths of the in our community, rejection also make people depressed, but that is not enough, when you are rejected you always work on a better version of yourself ,Criticism leads to confusion, Confusion leads to deep thought
Deep thought leads to depression Depression leads to suicide. You have to value your life and always give it a second thought, speak up for your helper might be behind.

We all have the potential to turn a negative situation into a positive situation so why having a thought that can claim your life when all our dreams can come true. Developing courage to fight any situation is one step to fight against being depressed. Are you feeling miserable? depressed? sad or despondent, just sit back and think of the best moments you've ever had and the better things God have for you.

There are some notable people who have fought suicide and have we will be sharing the story of few and we hope it get you motivated.


In 1967, Johnny Cash was mired in a deep addiction to amphetamines and barbiturates. Abandoning all hope, the beloved country crooner drove to Nickajack Cave in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he aspired to get totally lost in the pitch blackness and die. After a few hours, however, he claims to have heard the voice of God himself telling him to hang in there; when he eventually found his way out of the caverns, he was greeted by his wife and mother, who later said they felt drawn to the site because they sensed something wasn’t quite right with the Man in Black. He would go on to record music for another three and a half decades – winning heaps of Grammys along the way – before succumbing to natural causes in 2003.

Elton John song “Somebody Saved My Life Tonight?” Well, it’s based on a true story – specifically, the time John collaborator Bernie Taupin literally yanked his head out of an oven to keep him from asphyxiating on gas. It wasn’t the only time the flamboyant frontman tried to check out of the mortal coil, though. John also tried to kill himself by downing 60 Valiums a few years later – ironically, smackdab in the middle of “Elton John Week” in Los Angeles. Now 69, the “Rocket Man” remains one of the most successful musicians on the planet, raking in an impressive $42 million in 2016 alone.



In 1996, Marshall “Eminem” Mathers was a struggling Detroit-area rapper whose debut album “Infinite” was a colossal financial flop. After his girlfriend Kim left him and he lost custody of his daughter, the dejected artist sought to end it all via a Tylenol overdose. Mathers survived the attempt and less than a year later, one of his mixtapes was discovered by rap producer extraordinaire Dr. Dre – and since then, the once-suicidal rapper has “only” gone on to sell an estimated 172 million albums worldwide.

Suicide is wrong even in the religious setting, and that is why we at laspotech hype deem it fit to write about this and make an awareness towards committing suicide which is now rampant, also with the latest tragic event that happened in our school, it is high time we all come together and speak against this devilish act.

Depression is a key risk factor for suicide; others include psychiatric disorders, substance use, chronic pain, a family history of suicide, and a prior suicide attempt. Suicide is the result of actions taken to deal with intolerable mental anguish and pain, fear or despair that overwhelms an individual’s value for living and hope in life.


At the end of the tunnel, there is always light but it takes consistency and perseverance to see the light. Suicide has become a norm among the youths our community, rejection also make people depressed, but that is not enough, when you are rejected you always work on a better version of yours,Criticism leads to confusion, Confusion leads to deep thought
Deep thought leads to depression Depression leads to suicide. You have to value your life and always give it a second thought, speak up for your helper might be behind.

We all have the potential to turn a negative situation into a positive situation so why having a thought that can claim your life when all our dreams can come true. Developing courage to fight any situation is one step to fight against being depressed. Are you feeling miserable? depressed? sad or despondent, just sit back and think of the best moments you've ever had and the better things God have for you.

There are some notable people who have fought suicide and have we will be sharing the story of few and we hope it get you motivated.


In 1967, Johnny Cash was mired in a deep addiction to amphetamines and barbiturates. Abandoning all hope, the beloved country crooner drove to Nickajack Cave in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he aspired to get totally lost in the pitch blackness and die. After a few hours, however, he claims to have heard the voice of God himself telling him to hang in there; when he eventually found his way out of the caverns, he was greeted by his wife and mother, who later said they felt drawn to the site because they sensed something wasn’t quite right with the Man in Black. He would go on to record music for another three and a half decades – winning heaps of Grammys along the way – before succumbing to natural causes in 2003.

Elton John song “Somebody Saved My Life Tonight?” Well, it’s based on a true story – specifically, the time John collaborator Bernie Taupin literally yanked his head out of an oven to keep him from asphyxiating on gas. It wasn’t the only time the flamboyant frontman tried to check out of the mortal coil, though. John also tried to kill himself by downing 60 Valiums a few years later – ironically, smackdab in the middle of “Elton John Week” in Los Angeles. Now 69, the “Rocket Man” remains one of the most successful musicians on the planet, raking in an impressive $42 million in 2016 alone.



In 1996, Marshall “Eminem” Mathers was a struggling Detroit-area rapper whose debut album “Infinite” was a colossal financial flop. After his girlfriend Kim left him and he lost custody of his daughter, the dejected artist sought to end it all via a Tylenol overdose. Mathers survived the attempt and less than a year later, one of his mixtapes was discovered by rap producer extraordinaire Dr. Dre – and since then, the once-suicidal rapper has “only” gone on to sell an estimated 172 million albums worldwide.

Suicide is wrong even in the religious setting, and that is why we at laspotech hype deem it fit to write about this and make an awareness towards committing suicide which is now rampant, also with the latest tragic event that happened in our school, it is high time we all come together and speak against this devilish act.

Just as we move closer to the student union government election, it's no longer a news that student  from various departments have declared interest to run for different position, while some are still not sure of what post they would contest for, some are ready and are already hitting the ground.

So therefore we must set the record straight, considering all available options the symbol of hope conveneer seems ready and fits to lead the student union body and here is why.


In year 2016  our leader *JAMES OLUWATOSIN SAMUEL* PKA *SYMBOL OF HOPE* was elected as the vice president of national association of science and technology student (NASTES), he recorded great success.
When the Rotary club of laspotech introduced operation make laspotech clean, an operation that involves the proper sanitation of the school environment, ensuring that students are free from germs, he took it upon himself as the vice president, participated in the process of making our great institution clean and free for all.

In the Area of health, our leader *JAMES OLUWATOSIN SAMUEL* joined the rotary club of laspotech and other critical stateholders in the health sector to provide free medical test for student, educating them on their state of health and to God be the glory sanitary was restored to our great institution .

The welfarism of the students was paramount to him , and he did all he can to ensure that every student of the association enjoys its dividend.

The question is if as a vice president of an association he can achieve all this by volunteering himself what do you think he will do when the mantle of leadership is passed to him?

He will do wonders and the we will all be amazed, the hope of the students is coming, and the  face of unionism will be restored, we're all students will be able to lend their voices and contribute their quota in the development of our dear school.

OH MY LASPOTECH THE SYMBOL OF HOPE IS COMING :by omobabaijebu


Fellow laspotians:

I woke up this morning tired and thinking about all the stress I will undergo in school tommorow, which made me more sick, then I realize the words of Robert fulghum in 1892 which says

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."

My freind oluwatosin popularly known as SYMBOL OF HOPE has the experience, the knowledge, and the understanding of student politics, his urge for a good student union government that will accommodate all gave me hope that indeed laspotech will be great.

Yes there is hope and the Bible confirmed it in Isiah 40:31a but those who hope in the lord they shall renew their strength.

There's is a hope of good governance, quality welfarism, education, reformed health section among others and this can only be achieved if we support the man of the people, the symbol of hope.
I have known him for some time, his accountability and transparency spirit is incomparable and he will deliver on his promise.

Comparing the way unionism is run in laspotech compared to other schools you will agree with me that there's a need for a reformed student union government with proper representation and consideration of the three C of aluta.

Laspotians should make no mistake of electing incapable hands because our school must move forward, our passion for good governance must not die and we must push for the person that represent the interest of the student populace.

On this note I enjoin you to support and embrace the symbol of hope.

Aluta continua! Victoria Arceta!

Opinion: The need for a vibrant unionism and activism in laspotech.

By @lasspotech24/7.


Greatest Nigeria students, Ever sagacious laspotians today  I write to you on the need to consolidate the effort of our past student leaders and also rebuilding the image of student unionism in laspotech.

Why do we need a union?

This is the question on the lips of every student in our nation  who felt betrayed by the actions of our leaders, who have turned unionism to a negotiations platform for politicians and school authorities at the detriment of the students.

Unionism is meant for the student, to enjoy, have access to information concerning them and assuring them of hope for a better tomorrow, through proper consolidation, consultation and confrontation with the management.


The game is game but the game as changed, unionism has been hijacked by mediocres leaving students in the lions den.

Bad leadership is like cancer to every developing institution and must be eradicated at early stage before its destroys the institution completely.

Why do we need a vibrant unionist in laspotech?

As a new student in the school, I would like to commend the leadership who has done one or two things to keep the union moving forward, but their best is not enough and there is a need for us restructure unionism in laspotech.

The lingering crises between the non teaching staff and the management is another show of shame and a weakness on the path of the student union body, the SUG without taking sides is suppose to write both parties, thereby restoring peace back to the campus.

It's is also observed that there's a comunication gap between the union leaders and the student, which has made it difficult for the students to question the attitude and activities of the student union leaders.

In the course of my research I also find out that the union leaders at the end of their tenure fail to give an account on how they utilize the funds avaliable to them, if a union leader who as  promised us accountability and transparency during electioneering period, he should be able to tell us the state of the finance of the association in which we all contributed to.

Capital projects: it has been the usual manner of all student union leaders to share note books and other inferior stuffs as their capital project, this should be rejected by all well meaning laspotians, the Era of exercise book should be gone, the union should engage critical stake holders on what to do and how to go about it, instead of offering peanuts to students and the end of the year.





Laspotians should crave for someone who represent their interest, some one who can't be compromise, someone who's ready to take up the battle, ensuring that all laspotians have one or two reasons to smile.

In my next column I would be talking more about who I feel can take us to that greater laspotech we desire.

God bless laspotech.
