The community of Kogi State Polytechnic has again been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of a lecturer, Mr. Anslem Ojodomo.

‎Mr Ojodomo’s death comes just a month after another lecturer, Dr. Barnabas Akuba, died in February shortly after completing his PhD programme.

‎Ojodomo was said to have collapsed and died on Thursday while delivering lecture to students.

‎”The incident occurred during a classroom session. The lecturer suddenly slumped while addressing the students, throwing the class into confusion and panic,” a source within the school said.

‎”He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention but was later confirmed dead despite efforts by medical personnel to save his life.”

‎Sources within the institution also disclosed that there is now apprehension within the school community, as Anslem’s death was the third in six weeks since the new Rector, Prof. Salihu Sanusi, assumed office on February 11.

‎”It is more worrisome that both Anslem and Barnabas died after defending their PhD thesis.

‎"Anslem was in a meeting some hours before going for the lecture. We cannot imagine that a man who was bubbling and full of life in the meeting is now dead,” a member of staff of the institution stated.

The management of the Kogi State Polytechnic had yet to issue a statement on the incident as of press time.

Yes, So it's the devil responsible, yes??

I hope its not what am thinking...

A new rector assumed office??

Rip!
He die in active service

Reminds me of when we lost four lecturers in my faulty back in School within the space of a semester.
Dr Ekaette ,Dr Obed,Dr Akachi and one other .They had to organise emergency prayers for the us.

Two of them were newly promoted before their deaths.
Some used relocation as excuses to leave and never returned.

Forget titles and Degrees, most of them are fetish and devilish.


Rest in peace to the deceased.

A pull -him-down spirit in that school. Sad.

A few weeks ago, the Head of Service where my wife works made it compulsory for all staff to undergo a health screening, which was fully sponsored by them. During the process, one of her colleagues discovered that she was pregnant, even though she was still breastfeeding her six month old baby.

What am I trying to say? Many people are living with underlying health conditions without even knowing it. Institutions should take the initiative to organise free health screenings, especially since many of them already have health departments. This would go a long way in saving lives.

The harsh economic conditions in Nigeria will make you think less of your health and make one focus on how to make ends meet

If men avoid carbonated and alcoholic beverages, their bodies will fix themselves in a few months. Sadly, we have been taught from childhood that consuming green and brown bottles is a manly trait. My old man has drunk at least one bottle of beer every night since I was conscious of my environment. My mother said he was the same way before they married — he was 20 at the time. That he’s lived a complete life and more still baffles me. It won’t shock me if he one day “slumps to death.” That aside, do something physical with yourself at least once a week. Nature did not make a mistake programming your body. Modern life makes us soft, weak and prone to dropping dead at a moment’s notice. Build a strong body and your mind will follow. Avoid sugar and alcohol; they are poison. Don’t go seeking bitter food, moderate whatever you eat right now.

Well said sir!

The further you are away from nature, the closer to death.


Nature doesn’t cheat.

We are born of nature and should align with it

Moderate exercise , social interactions, drink water, rest well..

Some people can lock themselves indoors for days without coming out to see sunshine or stretch their bodies, they are dying slowly

Pregnant? Her husband needs to be flogged.
