In its bid to retain its number one position
among
Nigerian universities, the University of Ilorin
has
launched mobile applications on the android
platform
to enhance learning, teaching and research.
The Unilorin mobile apps has 30
applications that bring
the best experience in learning to students
and the
University community. The applications
include
Unilorin e-learning portal, Unilorin Map,
Unilorin Cloud,
Academic Publications, and Unilorin
Journals. It also

technological feat, the Vice-
Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, noted
that the
University is committed to making learning
and
teaching effective by exploring every
available
technology. Prof. Ambali explained that the
University has always
been keen to improve accessibility by
increasing its
bandwidth to provide seamless internet
access to staff
and students. He added that the apps would
ensure the
full utilisation of the PC Tablets made
available to new
students recently. The Vice-Chancellor gave
assurance that the
University would continue to improve its ICT
facilities
to “make learning and teaching effective and

CONFUSION AS RESIDENTS FIND BABY’S
PLACENTA WITH ALFA
The discovery of a baby placenta in the
residence of a man, identified simply as Alfa
Gani, is causing confusion in the Laduba
community, Ogidi area of Ilorin, Kwara State.
Our correspondent gathered on Thursday
that the discovery was made when some
volunteers went round the Laduba
community to appeal for financial
contributions from residents for the repair of
a faulty transformer in the area.
It was said that the volunteers perceived
offensive odour at Gani’s residence, which
they later reported to other members of the
community.
It was said that curious to know what
smelled, some members of the community
rushed to Gani’s residence and demanded
an explanation for the offensive odour
oozing from his house.
An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, told
PUNCH Metro that Gani initially accused the
community members of intruding into his
privacy.
He was said to have rushed to the Oloje
Police Station to report the community
members.
The source added that before Gani could
come back with the police, the community
members had entered his house and
discovered a boy with a baby placenta.
The enraged community members were said
to have beaten up the boy, making him to
confess that he was asked to prepare a
charm by Gani, who allegedly exhumed the
placenta.
While this was going on, our correspondent
gathered that a woman, whose baby naming
ceremony was recently held near Gani’s
house, arrived at the scene.
On seeing the placenta, she was said to
have rushed to where the placenta of her
new-born baby was buried, only to discover
that it was missing. She was said to have
raised the alarm, alerting the community
members to the ugly development.
When he came back with the policemen to
arrest the community members, the
commotion was still in progress.
The source said, “The residents narrated
their discovery to the policemen. It was at
that point that the policemen decided to
search the entire house including an
uncompleted building behind the suspect’s
house, after which they discovered some
human parts.”
It was gathered that the enraged mob
vandalised Gani’s house and set it on fire.
Our correspondent gathered that the
policemen, who were overwhelmed by the
crowd, managed to prevent them from
lynching the suspect as they whisked Gani
away to their station.
It was learnt that the incident fuelled
speculations that there were dens of ritual
killers and markets where human parts were
traded in Ilorin.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kwara
State Command, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi,
however, told our correspondent that there
was no den of ritual killers in the state
capital.
He said, “That is not true. What was
discovered was not a den of ritual killers,
but a suspected criminal who was used to
performing fetish activities.
“The man was looking for a placenta of a
new baby, exhumed the buried placenta and
used it for whatever yet-to-be identified
purpose.
“He just came back from jail. He went to
where a placenta was just buried about
three days ago before the incident. He dug
up the placenta and while he was doing that,
people saw him and tried to do things their
own way.
In the process of damaging his house by the
youth, the police got there and arrested the
suspect with the exhibit.
“The police have started investigation to get
to the root of the matter.”

Josephnice: may God almighty reward you for such uncommon sacrifice. this cause my tears flowing

@Feranmicharles, this NL did!

Antanananovic: Let us consider the issue carefully!

Firstly, the society has moved from matriachy to patriachy a very long time ago. matriachy reduced men's roles to only domestic duties. I mean, men swept the floor, cooked the food, manages the home in most of the old civilizations in South America and carribeans. Women, with hewn animal skin and intricate labels on their shoulders, go to war to defend or get more land and other resources while the men with hairy chests cheer them on. That was a period when Men were taught to grab their bulls by the horn. Consequently, the arrival of patriachy brought about a change in the roles played by both sexes in the society. I guess Men finally realized their desires and collective responsibilities, by grabbing their bulls at the f^vkn balls!!
Hence, the society has experienced, without prejudice and exaggeration, positive developments, transformations and a modern civilization.

Secondly, men r naturally egoistic and aggressive. We are hunters. The female folks are naturally soft, fragile and passive! they are the prey. We ought to hunt and dominate them. That is our mission. So if a girl ask a man out or something, it no longer becomes an ethical, gender equality, or critical aspersion questions on its right or wrong. It is a golden opportunity for the hunter to grab its prey after it had willingly submitted to the hunter's rigourous power.

In conclusion, Men should follow the instructions carved on the walls of the Persian extant empire, kept in the secret domes and hallways of Renaisance chapels, spoken in the metaphors of the ancient Roman and contemporary scholars. The message is as old as ever and suitably meets the rapid changes experienced by men and women. The message is simple: GRAB YOUR BULLS(relationships, faith, achievements, success, setbacks)BY THE BALLS!!!! If she asked u out and u are interested, find a way to dominate her. Dont EVER give her the control stick. and do all these things in a respectable manner too so u wont hurt her feelings!

u sound well.

just2endowed: Honestly, that's the modern way a lady should propose, as a girl am dating currently is proposing to me indirectly. Operator what should I do

still asking what to do no wonder d bold lady proposed!

Suarezilla: The primary aim of his parents sending him to skul was to study his books and a course....not meddle wit polltics! He was not even studying political science which cud hv made sense but somtin dat did nt relate to politics in d 1st place...Such a person can not mentor me on anytin!

life is not about your policies all the time.. that is why greediness has eaten deeply into us all..we care about ourselves too much.

lyriclekidd: Am still on ma mark. .oau is foolish

and still rated among the top 3 universities in Nigeria? could it be they are building on past glory or NUC is clueless??

STUDENT GRADUATES, 13 YEARS AFTER ADMISSION

Says ‘Self-fulfi llment is my joy’
Akinola Saburi was 19 years old when he gained admission into Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State to study a five-year course. But something happened along the line that his stay on campus was prolonged with additional eight years. He recounts his ordeal
When Akinola Saburi was admitted by Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife in 2000, he had no feeling that he would not graduate on a record time.
His course of study, Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology, in any Nigerian university is for five years. Though, extension could occur on academic grounds when students have deficiency in one course or another or the school is shut due to students’ unrest or lecturers’ strike, Saburi’s problems were never any of these.
His involvement in campus activism was what held him on campus for additional eight years. All started in 2003 when he was elected as the Secretary General of the students’ union and along the line, he became an acting president of the union when the incumbent president, Akinkunmi Olawoyin, was sick and could not perform his official duties again.
Saburi’s administration was said to be in constant face-off with the school authority on issues bordering on students’ welfare.
The union, according to investigations, always demanded from the authority to put things like accommodation problem, high tuition fee, overcrowded lecture rooms and hostels as well as policies they considered oppressive in the right perspective so as to make their studentship a worthwhile experience.
And at a time when there was no positive response, the students embarked on protests and the management fingered 13 of them as ring leaders including Saburi and consequently expelled them from school.
The students challenged their expulsion at the Federal High Court in Osogbo, Osun State, and the court ordered their reinstatement pending its judgment.
“But when we got back to school, we were advised to plead with the authority to reinstate us fully and this was granted on the condition that we must withdraw the case from the court,” Saburi, from Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State, recalled.
And after the pardon, according to him, some of them bowed out of unionism but Saburi and a few others did not. “Ï didn’t bow out because I was not comfortable seeing the privileged few using their positions to oppress and truncate the future of younger generation and those coming behind. To do so for me, like other progressives in the society, can make me sick,” Saburi said.
So in 2006, Saburi popularly known on campus as “Malcom X” contested again for the office of the president of the union and one hour to conclude the election and announce the results, the school authority came up with a release circulating round the campus that Saburi was still on suspension.
“The release added that my earlier pardon was not total but commuted to three academic year’s suspension and that if I should be declared winner of the election, the university authority would not recognise me.
The school took this decision to prevent me from becoming the president again because all my mates who bowed out of unionism were left to continue with their studies,” Saburi said.
Expectedly, the students’ union objected to this position, arguing that such explanation was too late since Saburi had already done his course registration, issued a valid student’s identity card and contested the election.
And because the students refused to dance to the tune of the authority, a fresh expulsion order was slammed on him and to enforce this, Saburi was arrested by the officers of the State Security Service (SSS) and arraigned the following day at a magistrate court on a 10-count charge.
“Their major allegation against me was that I was among the students who attempted to kill the Vice-Chancellor during a protest two years back, whereas I wasn’t in school on the day of the said protest,” Saburi claimed.
And because I couldn’t perfect my bail on that day, I was taken to Ilesa Prison where I spent the next eight months.” Saburi left the detention exactly on March 12, 2008 and was at home for one year and one month before he was recalled by the school authority to continue with his studies.
“Ï knew I would be recalled one day since my punishment was politically motivated but I wasn’t sure of when,” he stressed. Saburi was asked to write an apology letter to the authority and provide guarantor letters from a first class traditional ruler, a senior lecturer and a student leader on what they called “his good conduct” before he would be allowed back in school.
Saburi returned in 2010 and he still spent another three years due to the prolonged 2012 nationwide lecturers’ strikes and the students protest on campus. He came out of the university with Second Class Lower, the grade that is considered to be for above average students at OAU.
“I am happy to be graduated eventually while at the same time, I have no regret whatsoever over my actions.
I considered my punishment as a sacrifice for a better tomorrow,” he said. About his parents’ position on the matter, he said though they didn’t influence him whatsoever on his campus unionism’s stand, he still let them know that office of the students’ union president particularly in OAU is highly demanding.
“The exception is when you play along with the school management whether it does it right or not,” Saburi pointed out. “So, my parents were fully aware and they did not object to my stand more so they knew I am a child of unquestionable character.
“Ï did tell them whenever they visited me in detention that over 20,000 OAU students and several thousand others from other institutions stood solidly behind me. And truly their consistent clamouring for my unconditional release and reinstatement facilitated the process.”
In the interim that Saburi was not in school, he didn’t sit at home expecting manna to fall from heaven.
He was engaged in productive activities. “Now, I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator and I had also been trained on some entrepreneurial skills,” Saburi, who just returned from India where he went for Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) training, said. On his feeling seeing some of his mates in advantaged positions in the society today, Saburi said.
“Really as a human being, I feel slight pains particularly when you see those riding nice cars and living a bit comfortable; you feel you might be doing better if you had graduated at the same time. This is not about jealousy.
My conviction is that it is not about how far but how well. We have got different paths to tow and what is important is the destination aiming at. Life itself is not about material gains, but about the values you have brought into it. Self fulfillment is my joy.
“I strongly believe that if we have the OAU Ife of my dream, all of us including our children and the yet unborn generations will benefit enormously from it.
What we are enjoying today are the proceeds of some people’s sacrifice in the past.” Now Saburi’s next line action is to settle down, venture into farming and ICT and raise a family.
“I believe with God on my side, I will be great in life and leave good legacy behind,” he concluded

FORMER SPORTS MINISTER, ABDULLAHI, JOINS APC

A former Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday publicly declared his membership of the All Progressive Congress.
In an interview with journalists in Ilorin to announce his membership of APC, he claimed that only APC held the key to a credible political future for Nigeria.
Abdullahi advised Nigerians to seek change at national affairs and demand better governance.
According to him, it is important for Nigerians to actively show interest in politics, as he noted that political decisions have great impacts in national affairs and people’s wellbeing.
Abdullahi said, “The question you should ask yourself is whether you are better off today than you were six years ago; whether the education your children receive today is better than what they received six years ago and whether the health services available to you is better than what was obtainable six years ago?
“If you conclude that they are better, then there is no need for you to change, but if like many of us, you face the reality that they are not, then you will understand why we say that we need a change.
“I have served both at the state and national level and I am convinced now that I should be more involved in contributing to solving problems, not just writing about them (problems) again and that is why I am now a full member of the APC.
“Yes, I used to see myself as a technocrat and it was strategic because I needed to have an environment to perform the job I was given without necessarily becoming political or promoting myself because whether as a commissioner or minister, I was only there by the recommendation of my bosses and I needed to do the work assigned to me without failing.
“However, I also discovered that much as that gave me the opportunity to perform, the truth also was that it became a limitation in some ways because when the decisions are to be made which would affect the people, technocrats are not allowed to be in such gathering. They are only called upon to implement the decisions and even in doing that, he has to be careful because it may affect the fortunes of the politician.”

thumb up for the real men on this thread..to be man is not a day job!

The Federal Government has launched the newly introduced 64-page electronic passport. Launching the travel document at the State House in Abuja today, President Goodluck Jonathan said the key thing was not the 64-page passport, but the security.

The president said he had always sympathised with frequent travellers who changed passports so often, noting however that with the introduction of the new travel document, Nigeria had moved a step forward.

"The key thing is for us to have a robust relationship with key countries so that some of these frequent travellers may not need visas. That'll really help us
One thing again is how Nigerians can get passport easily, especially those living outside this country. When I travel, there is this complaint about how to get the Nigerian passport, not necessarily the issue of 64-page passport, but how do they get passport. So, the ministry must look into this", he said.

Jonathan charged officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to conduct themselves properly while attending to visitors at airports.

"What affects every traveller is how efficient and committed our immigration officers work at our airports. Visitors that come into the country have different impressions about our
immigration officers. So, they must improve. They're the image of this country, how they handle visitors matters so much. If they
conduct themselves poorly, it reflects on all of us. So, their
conduct at the airports is key besides the passport.

"The issue of the image of the country is what we'll all work for, both people in government, the media and civil society. I always say that when people continue to paint their country with all kinds of colours, that's the way they'll
associate those colours with your green passport. I want a situation where you travel to another country and you raise your green passport, people will
appreciate you and not when you raise your green passport, people
will begin to think your green passport signifies some
suspicious character. We're not helping ourselves when we paint
ourselves the colours that we're not supposed to bear.

The president appealed to all Nigerians to be mindful of their actions and statements in order to paint "brighter colours for our green passport".

Earlier, Interior Minister Abba Moro said the new passport was aimed at enhancing the integrity of Nigerian travel documents and the image of the Nigerian traveller anywhere in the world.

NIS Comptroller-General David Parradang said each applicant would pay N20,000 for the new passport and get it within 72 hours.

According to him, those below 18 years would pay N8,750; 18 to 60-year-old applicants, N15,000: 60-year-old and above, N8,750; while change of data/lost e-passport would attract N20,000; and change of name as result of marriage, divorce and deceased spouse, N8,750.
Parradang said the Service was very serious about the persecution of any of its officers found engaged in abusing the process of the new passport.
