ASUU Strike: Lecturer Disguises As Spider Man To Attend To Students
While the ASUU strike lingers, a lecturer at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli, Anambra State, reportedly disguises as Spider Man in order to attend to his Masters students.
It was gathered that the lecturer, who is an astute member of ASUU, had to undergo the transformation so as not to contravene the union’s directive which requires lecturers to stay away from academic work.
In his capacity as a Spider-Man and not an ASUU member, he was able to attend to the
students who wanted to have a final discussion with him ahead of their project defence.

The Aluta Restoration Executives of the Student Union Government, FUTO. Took to her Facebook page to sympathize with the 500level students of Information Management Technology over the death of one of their colleague name Jenifer Uwakwe who was said to write her final exam on Saturday, 8th of September but had a fatal motor accident along Onitsha/Owerri road.

The singers Tecno and Flavour, alongside Comedian Gordons were said to have escaped the crash on their way to Ghana.
This was disclosed in a video shared by Gordons on his Instagram page @Gordonsdberlusconi narrating how they survived the accident.
In the video, Gordons said the flight to Accra from Lagos developed a fault eight minutes into the trip.
Alongside the video, Gordons wrote: “My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for what God did for me and my colleagues today. Help me praise him.
“God delivered me, Flavour, Tekno together with all their bandboys who flew with us from Lagos to Accra from a Plane crash.
“Eight minutes into our flight, the pilot announced that the plane developed a fault, we had to return to Lagos.
“We were hopeful and prayerful and we landed safely, help us thank God Nigerians.”

Just a week to his Final exam, the Futo big boy popularly known as JOHN MARK died yesterday due to serious illness.

He was very accommodating and a caring friend to all.


May your soul Rest in Peace....Amen!

Senate President Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday, breezed into Minna, the Niger State capital where he met with former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida behind closed doors at his (IBB) hill-top mansion.
Saraki, who arrived Minna airport at exactly 3:58p.m. was received by the Niger State commissioner for Investment, Alhaji Mahmud Mundi on behalf of the state governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello.
There was however a mild drama as Governor Bello on hearing of Saraki’s visit, hurriedly adjourned the state council meeting that was in progress and drove out of Minna for Abuja. He was said to have directed his Commissioner for Investment to go and welcome Saraki at the airport.
The Senate President arrived IBB residence at exactly 4:25pm and was immediately ushered into the private sitting room of IBB where the meeting took place.
All the roads leading to IBB residence and other major roads within the state capital were taken over by heavily armed mobile policemen and men of the civil defence corps.
Saraki was accompanied by a long convoy of seven Suv and two Hillux van for the security men that accompanied him.
Anxious journalists who had laid siege at the gate of IBB house were prevented from gaining entrance as the policemen told them that they were instructed not to allow anybody move close to the gate.

However after about 30 minutes, one of the IBB security guard came to the gate and asked the waiting journalists to leave the environment, saying that the visit was a private one and does not need media coverage.
After about one hour, twenty eight minutes , the Senate President and his convoy drove out of IBB’s residence and headed for the airport.
The details of the meeting was not immediately known. But it may not be unconnected with the current travails of the Senate President and the political development at the National Assembly.
