This VC is daft.

Is this not the same school that a 300level female student of History department was r@ped right on campus by security staff this same month of May?

Is this not the same school where the SU president leaves the school with several women on weekends to party recklessly and engage in all manner of activities that is the opposite of the godly character picture this VC is trying to paint?

Why are there cases of food poisoning, poor student welfare and constant complains by the students of this same university?

Just google Ajayi Crowther University, and you will see they are mostly in the news for the wrong reasons.

I hope Seyi Makinde and the Federal Ministry of Education through the NUC take a critical look at the Management of this institution. This is definitely not how to run a University, talk more of a private one.

This Vc in his days at LAUTECH was a chronic womaniser. He lacks the morals to talk about fasting and prayers.

Sorry am not igbo, I don't know.

Does this leaf really work? I tried it but no results. We need feedback in this thread. Someone was promoting moringa leaves, has anyone seen positive results?

Chomyg:
Please I have a question, my husband had staphylococcus and was treated since 2022. His sperm count and motility has refused to come up even after treatment. He has taken supplements, even herbs but still the same. Recently we went to fertility treatment and after receiving treatments for over a month, test was conducted but still no improvement. Even went from 8 million to 3 million and 5 percent motility. No infections has been detected since that 2022 even after using different labs.What could be cause?

This is quite puzzling, there must be an underlying cause.Did you do the HVS/MCS test, to find out if you are infection free. For his sperm count to be going down.something must be wrong. Am just thinking.

Akanbi was also caught on camera smoking hemp.

Them Don run you street. I used to think Nigerians are the master of fraud but Indians and Pakistan beats us. I had a Pakistani trading forex for me. The guy defrauded me by hackinginto my account and wasting my equity. I was being faithful by paying him his share. They are more terrible than us, is just that Nigerians make too much noise.

shine your eyes very well.

The members are encouraged to “tell on” anyone who has negative thoughts or doubts.
4 – The group is paranoid about the outside world.
They promote theories about the “end of the world” and deliverance from the evil world which is intent on their destruction. The charismatic leader fosters his theories and ideological system to transcend the “imperfections of life outside”.
5 – The group relies on “shame” tactics to maintain conformity.
The leader imposes strict codes of conduct, guilting members for their shortcomings. They are made to feel unworthy of love and acceptance unless they conform to the rules and confess any shortcomings.
6 – The leader considers himself above the law and moral standards.
This idea allows the leader(s) to exploit the members economically and sexually without repercussions. Sexual grooming is common and members must simply “ignore and/or justify” their leader’s immoral behavior.
7 – The leader uses different means to weaken the minds.
They will use constant lecturing, obsessive praying, and the lack of sleep to maintain the people’s minds in a constant debilitated state. The leader keeps the devotees constantly fatigued, and deprived of sensory input. The group uses “thought reform” methods to correct each other. “Brainwashing” is used to break down a person’s sense of individual identity. Short cliches such as “just follow your leaders” or “doubt your doubts” are used constantly so that the followers don’t critically analyze complex issues.
8 – The group is elitist.
Cults see themselves as selected enlightened ones given the task of transforming the world. This creates a sense of greater unity and purpose. Members are required to cut all relationships with family, friends, or any other contacts who do not agree with the teachings of the cult leader.
9 – There is no financial transparency.
Members are required to make great sacrifices and are not allowed to know where their money goes.
10 – The group performs secret rites.
This is usually discovered only after becoming a member and is used to solidify a member’s loyalty to the group. Their loyalty to the “inner circle” is affirmed through shameful proceedings which make the initiate more susceptible to manipulation.

How to Get Out
My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken Me, the spring of living water; and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Jeremiah 2:13
Walking away from a cult is difficult. By the time folks realize that the organization is a cult, they have developed a strong social circle and strong emotional ties to the group. To make matters worse, the abusive cults will also dominate other areas of a person’s life including personal, private, professional, and financial aspects.
Here are some considerations when leaving a cult:
Run, Don’t Just Walk Away! And Don’t Look Back

Signs You’re In a Cult, Not a Church

A cult is a social group that is defined by its unusual and non-traditional, religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals. A cult has a charismatic leader who is “the Axis Mundi” and believes that the entire world revolves around his theories and line of thinking. He requires “exclusive devotion” to himself and his unorthodox beliefs or goals. He also requires absolute obedience from his followers. Cults can range from small, local groups to international organizations with millions of adherents. “Christian cults” are groups that have a Christian background but are considered to be theologically deviant. Their beliefs deny some or most of the fundamental Christian teachings.

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
Acts 20:29-30
The dictionary defines a cult as a “great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers; a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.” As of right now, there are 2500-3000 active cults in the USA and thousands more around the world. Statistically, there are more men than women in cults who are recruited when they are going through distressing emotional conflicts; during those vulnerable times, they are promised companionship, peace of mind, and security. Examples of Cults
This is a list of just a few of the cults that showed up starting in the 1950’s. In 1955-1978, The Peoples’ Temple was led by Jim Jones. 909 members of that cult died of mass suicide. The Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh in 1955-1993, led to the death of 77 people. In 1957 until 1991, Saul Newton led a cult (Sullivanians) of over 500 members. They disbanded after he died. Children of God International is another cult that began in 1968 and is still currently led by their leader David Berg. Heaven’s Gate, led by Marshall Applewhite, started in 1972 until 1997 and caused 39 members to commit suicide. Another well known cult is the Charles Manson Family which started in 1969. The Rajneesh movement in Oregon, led by Osho also started in 1979 and ended in 1985. And the Church of Scientology which began in 1953 and is currently still running.

Descriptions of a Cult
1 – They reject orthodox, Biblical teaching and oppose all critical thinking.
The only work required for salvation is our belief in Jesus and trusting in His redeeming work on the cross.
•
•
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
John 6:29
2 – Cult leaders act like lords.
A cult leader will often isolate their adherents and penalize them for wanting to leave the group. The following is a gruesome, macabre example of a cult leader:
Jim Jones was a psychopathic, manipulative, controlling, and insidious leader. He was an early social justice warrior who promoted Marxist or communist ideology to implement his utopian worldview. He founded the People’s Temple in Indiana during the 1950s, moved to California in the mid-60s, and gained countless followers there, exerting full mind control over them. His magnetic charisma prevailed. In the mid-1970s, he relocated hundreds of his followers to Jonestown, Guyana on the northeast coast of South America to avoid tax evasion charges by the US Government and to establish a commune based on his ideology. Many people who relocated to the settlement became aware they were now confined to a type of isolated prison in the jungle. In 1978 rumors began to circulate, alleging that human-rights abuses were occurring within the People’s Temple organization in South America. The United States Congressman, Leo Ryan, went there to investigate. One day later, Ryan and four defectors were murdered by gunfire while boarding a return flight home. Shortly thereafter, Jones led all of his 918 followers—including 304 children—to commit suicide by drinking Kool-Aid spiked with cyanide.
While this appears to be an extreme example of a dangerous cult, there have been others like it throughout history. Looking at this bizarre example helps us to analyze the traits of less manipulative cults. We need to know how cults function, what keeps people in deception, and how to help someone leave.
3 – Leaders glorify themselves as infallible while also promoting a previously unknown revelation.
In the eyes of their followers, they are the ultimate authority. These kinds of leaders are often authoritarian, charismatic, and narcissistic. They emphasize special doctrines outside of the Scriptures, and no one in the group is permitted to think or reason for themselves.
4 – The organization is managed like a cartel or mafia, requiring absolute loyalty to its leaders.
In an article entitled “The Power Abusers,” Ronald Enroth demonstrates some of the tools used by cults to control their members:
• Behavior Control: An individual’s associations, living arrangements, food, clothes, sleep, habits, finances, etc., are strictly controlled.
• Information Control: Cult leaders deliberately withhold or distort information, lie, propagandize, and limit access to other outside sources of information.
• Thought Control: Cult leaders use loaded words and language, discourage critical thinking, bar any speech critical of the cult leaders or policies, and teach an “us vs everyone else” doctrine.
• Emotional Control: Leaders manipulate their followers via fear (including the fear of losing salvation, the fear of being shunned, etc.)
5 – They claim exclusivity.
Those in cults are often be led to believe that they are in the right. Everyone who believes something else is wrong and destined to certain perdition or doom.
6 – Intimidation, fear, and isolation are used on those who have joined.
The leader is paranoid about the “outside world.” When that’s the case, threats are made against members who want to leave. They are often kept isolated from their family members. The even go as far as dishonoring the family unit by crossing Biblical boundaries of social behavior and morality, such as sexual purity and personal ownership.
7 – They cross legal boundaries.
Cult leaders usually influence their members in such a way that they consider themselves above the law. In some groups, there is no financial transparency, oversight, or accountability to anyone.

Signs You’re Probably in a CULT
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:6-7
1 – A leader is the ultimate authority.
The leader has charisma, claims supreme knowledge, and considers himself to always be right. As a member, you’re not allowed to criticize or question your leader, even if he is wrong. Members of the organization have to forfeit their critical thinking in order to belong. The leader will usually convince his followers that he is divinely directed and all other religions are false and diabolical. And his objective is to replace every individual’s identity through gradual and incremental sessions of indoctrination. This helps his goal of total mind-control over all the adherents.
2 – The group suppresses skepticism and forbids criticism.
To maintain “spiritual purity,” the members must avoid contact and conversations with “outside persons”. They are also forbidden to read any outside material in order to achieve spiritual harmony within the group. For this level of domination, cult leaders utilize manipulative and authoritarian mind-control over the members.
3 – The group delegitimizes former members.
Cult members must shun defectors to prevent being infected with their “so-called truth”. To leave the cult would result in eternal damnation and spiritual suicide.

A visually impaired teacher and freelance broadcaster, Ayanwale Ayantola, teaches English at the Adeniran Memorial Grammar School, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, and shares his story with ALEXANDER OKERE

Some people with visual impairment had difficult childhoods. Was it the same for you?

I can say yes because the impression Nigerians have about people with disabilities is not encouraging. I was not born blind. I lost my sight when I was a SS2 pupil, though I had a visual problem when I was in junior secondary school. I attended Ori-Oke Baptist Primary School, Ogbomoso, and Ori-Oke Community High School, but did not graduate from the school because of the problem I had with my sight. As a JSS2 pupil, I noticed that I could not see clearly. That led me to use recommended glasses. Later, I found it difficult to see the blackboard unless I moved closer. My school principal and some other teachers noticed the problem when my performance dropped because they knew I was a brilliant pupil.

So, they told me to bring my parents to school and when they came, my father explained the challenges I had with my eyes. We later went to Jos, Plateau State, where I had the first surgery. Each of my eyes was operated on three times, but I did not know what the doctors told my dad. However, I was advised not to force myself to read with the eyes but rather to use the level of vision I had left to aid my movement.

Did the doctors tell your parents what was wrong with your eyes or why you could not see clearly?

Yes. I was told I had glaucoma and my father was advised to enrol me in a school for the blind. In 2007, I was enrolled in the Oyo State School for the Blind, Ogbomoso, where I spent about eight months learning Braille and typewriting. I wanted to become a medical doctor and was a science pupil at Ori-Oke Community High School. I was told that I could not continue as a science student, so I became an arts pupil. After learning Braille and typewriting at the school for the blind, I went back to SS1 at Adeniran Memorial Grammar School, Ogbomoso, where I currently work as a teacher.

Can you remember the point when you completely lost your sight?

When I was at the school for the blind, I could see partially and move about to do one or two things. I lost my sight completely in 2006. That was the time I forced my eyes to read printed copies of the materials I used to prepare for examinations organised by the West African Examinations Council. That was against the advice I was given not to read with my eyes. I can remember that on the day I lost my sight, I visited one of my seniors in school. As I tried to enter the class, I hit my forehead on one of the pillars and fainted. That was when I realised that I could no longer see.

How did your condition impact your relationship with people in your community?

Many of my friends left me because they thought I was no longer part of them since I would attend a school for the blind, which was a boarding school. When I graduated from the school, I could not find any of them, because they had moved ahead of me academically, having returned to SS1 due to my condition.

How did you qualify as a teacher?

I attended the Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, and studied English/Visually Impaired Study. I graduated between 2004 and 2005. I found it easy to cope there because of my knowledge of the use of Braille. I could still see partially when I was at the college, so it was not difficult to find me around the school. In fact, I was the one guiding most of the blind students there. But now, people guide me because my sight is completely lost. I also attended the National Teachers Institute.

Were you bugged by your inability to attend a university and study Medicine, which was your dream course?

I felt bad. My life has totally changed. If not for the advice I received, I wanted to commit suicide.

How did you come out of that?

I was discouraged from ending my life when I saw blind teachers making the best out of their lives, so I told myself that I could still make it in life

Why did you decide to become a teacher?

God deposited the spirit of teaching in me. I was a Sunday school teacher in the church I attended, so I love teaching. So, when I lost my sight, I had no other choice. I thought the only job a blind person could take up was teaching, singing, or becoming a pastor. Although I have the ability to teach, I did not want to become a teacher.

For how long have you been a teacher at Adeniran Memorial Grammar School, Ogbomoso?

This is my 13th year in service. Teaching is good because when one teaches, one is moulding a life. I teach SS1 and SS2 pupils. As a blind teacher, I relate with sighted teachers.

How do you teach your pupils?

After preparing my (lesson) note, I give it to one of the sighted teachers or class captains to help me write on the chalkboard. After that, they submit their notes and read them to my hearing for marking. I don’t see anything difficult in that; we form our notes the way sighted people do theirs. In fact, I can tell that most of our pupils enjoy the classes of blind teachers more than sighted teachers. I teach my pupils with different methods.

How do you teach your pupils oral English?

I learnt the symbols when I could see. The reason why I give kudos to the Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, is because it made use of modelling.

What does that mean?

For us to make the blind pupils understand the symbols, tactile diagrams are created to enable them to feel the symbols and understand what they look like. That was how I was taught at the college of education. However, I usually draw most of the symbols on the board for my pupils.

What are the barriers the disability community faces in Nigeria?

Discrimination is the biggest problem we have. People do not believe that the blind can do something meaningful in society. For example, some people do not believe that a blind man can be a broadcaster or a presenter, but as I speak with you, I work with five radio stations. When I appear on TV or Facebook, people find it difficult to believe that I am blind.

Another barrier is the orientation many Nigerians have about blind people or people with disabilities. People think that getting married to a blind person can lead to something bad. They think they can contract blindness by holding a blind person. It is a superstitious belief. We are also not given the recognition we deserve in the area of employment. Some people don’t believe that the blind can perform well in politics.

What is the biggest form of discrimination you have faced?

I have many but the one that really hurt me the most is discrimination in marriage. However, I thank God that I have a beautiful wife and we are doing fine.

Can you tell me about your marriage?

I have had many disappointments in relationships. I can count about 35 ladies who disappointed me before marriage. I have been making a name for myself in broadcasting, having been a presenter for over 23 years. People who want to come close to me run away when they realise that I am a blind man.

I met my wife through one of my younger brothers, who is a phone technician and who usually guides me when I want to go to a radio station to present. One day, she went to his shop to repair her phone and I was also at his shop. When I asked for her number, she declined until my younger brother persuaded her to release her number to me. That was how I got the opportunity to relate with her.

Did her parents welcome your advances?

They have not even agreed till this moment.

not good enough boys

I see no reason State Universities should continue with the strike. LAUTECH should also do the needful

The church should be ready for the final move of God in these last days and DLBC should strive not to be left behind in this move of the spirit. The Bible says in Joel 2.28 that in the also days God will pour out His spirit on all flesh. Guess we haven't quite understood that prophesy.

You are on point. The spirit of God is on the move. if you resistance the move you sink, it cannot be boxed in a place. I think that is what Baba is trying to correct. It is the Church of Christ and determines what must happen. How many Churches fully follow the doctrine of Christ.

Plz house, what can be the cause of a sow eating the piglets, they are a week old

Some times it has nothing to do with hunger. it has to do with the sow/gilt. Some don't have good mothering abilities. if you study many of such incidences you notice they have aggressive tendencies

benzion72:
It still bit my imagination that a pig farm can be in Ilorin though a cosmopolitan city and a capital city but headquarter of world Alfas and Islamic city

There are pig farms in Ilorin. its usually in the outskirts. Are you saying there are no villages under Ilorin Emirate?

adeyinkapiggs:
well my brother, we dont need to argue much on here, i believe if you have any issue with what i sold for you, i expect you to come back to the farm, complain, and we can address the issue , not coming up here and behave like a kid.. we are business men and am a practicing farmer, i have a lot to do in the farm than wasting my pressure time arguing with you here.

Thank God you later realised your comment was off the track. customer satisfaction is key to any business. little foxes destroyes the vine. a little dent can cause business setback. A good name is far important than a bag of gold.
