The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the exit of the former Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs Dr Doyin Okupe, from the party would have no effect on the party.
The party described Okupe’s exit as ‘good riddance and a non-issue.’ This was contained in a statement released in Abeokuta on Tuesday signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Adeniji.
The party said Okupe would not be missed in any way, as he was not known for any fundamental ideology.

The statement reads in part: “Okupe in his statement noted that the future of the party may not be significantly affected whichever way the judgement of the Supreme Court goes.
“We find this unfortunate because it shows that he is one of those who does not mean well for the party. It is shameful that at a time when relevant stakeholders such as governors, senators, BOT members and other loyal members, have resolved to forge ahead in unity irrespective of the Apex Court decision, an Okupe is a lone voice, steeped in negativity and backwardness.” On the claim that the party was divided in Ogun state, the party admitted but said the leadership of the PDP was fixed.
“The people are united and working hard towards electoral success in 2019. That some persons decided to form a social group to push the personal ambition of their sponsors, does not translate to factionalisation and we will not allow Okupe to legitimise the aberrant and rebellious activities of some of our members,” it said.

The United Nations refugee agency is condemning an attack on its staffers in Central African Republic.
A spokesman in Geneva on Tuesday said armed men entered the agency’s site in the northern town of Kaga Bandoro on Saturday and robbed six U.N. staffers.
The U.N. says the staffers were threatened at gunpoint. It says staffers have been relocated temporarily to the local base of the U.N. peacekeeping mission and some will be moved to the capital, Bangui.
More than half a million people are displaced in Central African Republic as deadly sectarian violence continues.
The situation has worsened in recent months, with more than 300 people killed and 100,000 people displaced since mid-May after attacks in the impoverished country’s southeast and center.

Yes o.

Is this how polytechnic students welcome their colleagues?
Lalasticlala Mynd44. Come o.

A facebook user who has been identified simply as J. I. Obaji has taken to the internet to lament over two of her phones which were stolen at gunpoints at different locations on campus following her arrival at Oko Polytechnic, a federal polytechnic located in Anambra State.

Ms. Obaji who made a post to break the sad news to her friends on social media had these to say,

"Longest Time my People! Fed. Poly. Oko Students Welcomed Me 2(-to) Their School By Stolen My Phones Wit A Smal Gun Pointed On My Head 2(-to) Shoot Me If I Dont Coperate Wit Dem I Had No Option Dan 2(-to) Surrender. After 3days I Used My Textbooks Money 2(-to) Buy A Phone &(-and) Welcome Back My Sims. They Came Again On Tuesday 14th Feb By 3am. Since Then I've Not Been Wit A phone Not 2 (-to) Talk Of 2 (-to) Chat On Fb &(-and) Whatsapp. Pls 4(-for) Those People Dat Have Any Of My MTN Numbers Should Call Me So Dat I Can Get Back Ur (-your) Numbers. Tnx."

In a bide to translate the news to a more understandable form, here is an edited excerpt of the message,

"Longest time my people! Federal Polytechnic, Oko students welcomed me to their school by stealing my phones with a small gun pointed at my head (threatening) to shoot me if I don't cooperate with them. I had no option than to surrender (my phone to them). After three days, I used the money meant for my textbooks to buy a (new) phone and welcome back by SIM cards. They attacked again on Tuesday being 14th of Feb., (2017) by 3am. Since then I've not been with a(ny) phone not to talk of Chatting on Facebook and Whatsapp. Please for those people that have any of my MTN (phone) numbers should (not hesitate to) call me so that I can get back your (phone) numbers. Thanks."

This is coming at a time when almost everyone believes that our students in the various higher institutions of learning in the country deserve a conducive environment to enhance their academic potentials.

The Significance Of The Holy Week And The Good Friday.

Today, most christians all over the world especially the catholics observe the contested day, Good Friday. It comes during the holy week and precede Easter which is the day of celebration of the rising from the dead of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The 'Good Friday' is observed in most countries of the world where the catholics are located. No one knows why it is termed so but some has contested or argued that the 'good' attached to it comes from etymological usage, "God's Friday", while some would argue that it is termed so because it begets the glorious celebration of the day Christ was raised from the dead.

In all, some christians observers/ tradition would choose to use the opposite. In Germany, for example, it is termed, "Karfreitag" which means "Sorrowful Friday" while also it is referred to as Great Friday and Holy Friday in some doctrines.
The Holy Friday, is usually proclaimed a holiday in most christians countries like Nigeria.

On this day, the christians faithfuls memorize the events of that took place throughout the time Jesus Christ was subjected to worldly humiliation (according to the Holy Bible) and willfully suffered and was put to death to take away the sins of the world.
On a day like this, the churches in the christians faith are not adorned in decorations. The Crucifix bearing the body of Christ nailed to the cross hung on the alters are wrapped with sacred cloths. In most churches, like the catholic denomination today, the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated.

Christian faithfuls on this day to recall the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ on the road to Cavalry.
On this day, the christians faithfuls recall the suffering and death of Christ through public readings of specific Psalms and the gospels, singing of hymns about the death of Christ. In most cases, especially in Nigeria, the series of these events are acted out by the various churches' youths and faithful observes.

Your turn:
What do you think about the Holy Friday? Are you going to be part of it? Do think it should be called sorrowful Friday too?

lalasticlala should see this.

The Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, on Wednesday denied saying God is punishing Nigerians with meningitis outbreak.

The governor said he never said meningitis was a divine punishment from God for sins of fornication committed by the people.

Yari said he only lamented the paucity of appropriate vaccines to confront the outbreak of meningitis in his state.

He said it was unfortunate because the state does not have enough vaccines yet for the Type C meningitis.
The governor, who made the clarifications through his Special Adviser on Media and Public Enlightenment, Mr. Ibrahim Magaji Dosara, said he merely asked Nigerians to move closer to God and plead for his mercy to avert further infectious diseases and other health crisis in the state and Nigeria

The statement said: “No doubt, as a God-fearing man, and a Muslim, the governor believes in the powers of Allah to inflict whatever punishment He decides on the human race. However, the governor who spoke in Hausa had a particular audience in mind when he spoke to the BBC Hausa reporter.

“The governor added for example, that fornication ‘should not spread so much in society that it becomes common place and if that happens, Allah promises to inflict, on its perpetrators (people) a sickness that would have no cure.”

“Let it be known too that the governor still insists that all diseases come from Allah and that at no point in his interaction with the reporters did he insinuate that Allah was punishing Nigerians but instead drew from the teachings of great Islamic traditions to buttress the point he was trying to convey.

“This is exactly what the governor said. But because some people are out there to ridicule him at the slightest opportunity and make a mountain out of a molehill with a view to tarnishing his rising reputation, the innocuous statement was misinterpreted and quoted out of context for reasons best known to the authors.

“We therefore use this medium to appeal to all well-meaning Nigerians to ignore the story making the round and condemn the act of unethical practice by those disseminating the deceptive story.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Zamfara State Government in conjunction with relevant federal government agencies is making frantic effort to contain the outbreak of meningitis in the state by taking immediate steps to secure appropriate vaccines for the latest health challenge.

“Let it be on record that the state under the leadership of governor, Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari, will not abandon the well-being of the people, who elected him to pilot the affairs of the state for any other thing.

“As the saying goes, health is wealth, and the administration will not settle for anything apart from vigorously pursuing the overall well- being of Zamfara people.”

Yari described the situation in his state as pathetic because it has no vaccines.

The statement added: “The governor said the situation was unfortunate because the state does not have enough vaccines yet for the Type C meningitis
“The governor thereafter enjoined all Nigerians to embrace prayers, as God who is aware of the outbreak of the ailment surely has antidote for it.”

Talk2Bella:
A university is a place of learning and so many other things, meet people, make life connections, get pregnant, get carried away, be serious, be unserious and so many others, but mostly it is a place where major decisions which will affect and effect our lives are made, today I will be talking about five things I did while I was still in the university that I totally regret today.


1. I trekked like the children of Israel in my first semester, I schooled in Republic of Benin, and a hundred cefa was like a hundred naira to me, I didn’t want to waste that amount of money on a short distance, I trekked to school, trekked back home, trekked to and fro under the sun and rain and then I became as black as Esau in the bible, till today no cream I have applied have been able to was off Cotonou sun from my skin.

2. Doing free jobs for students, I have never hidden the fact that I am a pure ajepako, I have always been street smart and a street kid and it’s made me the hustler I am today, living in Cotonou is very expensive I no go lie abeg, mum wasn’t sending me money, I was doing house agent work upandan and you know students now they don’t want to pay agent fees, they’d say Bella please do it for us na, na we we, when you get the house we will settle you well, na so I go trek under sun o, knock from compound to compound at the end of the day shishi I won’t see, and so the history of how I became a female Esau continued.

3. Not paying for food or paying less than I ate, mehn I no de carry last, I just eat, stand up and walk away, whenever I feel generous I just write my own receipt and give them, I thought a few of my friends this trick and very soon the whole clique would go there, until we were caught and had to use argument to say we’d pay; well after that day whenever we went there to eat they made us pay first.

4. I didn’t date, my mates were busy finding the love of their lives and all I thought about was where my next meal was going to come from and how to pay my next school fees, I just wasn’t interested at all, I didn’t want any boy to come and beg me the small egusi I brought from home or eat my yam with me and I honestly saw it as a distraction, I finished secondary school very early and gained admission very late all I thought about was just finish and leave, but now I totally regret this who knows me and my bobo would have been going to camp now, but I’m glad I finally found someone.

5. I didn’t keep in touch with 98% of my classmates, by nature I am a chronic loner, my only female friend was my roomie and now we’re very close, I had two male friends and one of them is married now with a kid and my female friend stays in the east so you can imagine when people ask me about my friends what I tell them and what their responses are, this is my nature and a habit which I am trying to break, I am a very sociable person, people like me and want to be friends with me but if you push too hard I feel choked and begin to withdraw and now I have just few friends that I am very proud of.

These are the things I totally regret and a few I don’t want to mention like writing for students but hey! We all got flaws and no one is perfect, I am heading for camp now and I will be better and stronger when I come back.

Same here,
you're welcome.

It feels good to arrive on campus, you have heard much about the university, colleges and also, polytechnics, now is the time to experience it.

Without much ado, a lot of meaning has been given to the word 'stress' looking on from different ways it affects us but the sum total is this; it generates undesirable effects and causes tension on us.

The Merriam-webster (online dictionary) reports stress to be "a physical, chemical or emotional factor thatcauses bodily or mental tensionand may be a factor in disease causation."

Some authorities in psychological studies has argued that even though stress is a cause of mental strain to the experiencer, it also has some good effects as it is said to prepare the body in response to danger or tasking circumstance, hence the "fight or flight" is enacted. This is called eustress, which is a form oof stress considoered normal and beneficial to the person experiencing it.

For the purpose of this topic, stress is seen as any factor which causes the weariness of mind, body and emotion to a common student, it includes activities not completely 0planned, tedious works having to be done by the student, tough schedules and enormous tasks facing an average first year student thereby gives no room for ample 0relaxation of mind, body and his/her life in general.

A lot of things causes stress on campus especially when a student is new. In first years generally, a lot of reasonable things have to be done. Settlements (i.e accommodations) has to be made, acquaintting with the new school enviroment, attending more and more lectures above all has to be made.

This leaves the average student extremely stressed out at the end of the day unlike most old students who must have known their away about the campus and do things so easily, the new student always has to ask around for directions.

In a nutshell, here is a list of ways a freshman can use to deal with the stress on campus on his/her arrival.

1.Stay close to school.

It would be best to stay (live) on campus reason being that most academic activies would be only a few steps away thereby needs no much extra stress to get at, this reduces cost and energy losses.
So, in a situation where the student has the opportunity to do so, he should the on-campus accommodation offered by his or her institution. But, if the ability to do so is not there, he should also endeavour to secure accommodation closer to the school.

2.Have a proper schedule.

Your best bet would be to assess your activities for each new day and make a proper schedule like when and how to easily go about the tasks. Know also those you are mandated to do and those you can easily skip for another day.

3.Priotize your schedule.

Yes, most times it is desirable to do so, listen for an important lecture in the hall would probably be more desirable than running to-and-fro the banking hall to make a particular payment, though it's still desirable on it's own, it's left for you to decide which one to face first before the other.

4.Face the important things first

You can still know everywhere on campus on the due time or gradually but now is the time to handle what you are there for.
Face your studies, places would come to know you gradually, don't go about looking for places you must have heard about etc without first doing the important things which you are in school for, doing so would culminate in a lot of unwanted stresses.

5.Eat good food suitable for your body

It may not have been proven or even investigated that good foods keeps stress at bay but there are some which would strengthen the mind and also calm the whole body system if taken appropriately (mind you, I am not a medical authority of any sort) but eating good food and relaxing the mind wouldo help keep stress at bay, so, don't run out of the doors hoping to catch on on a lecture without caring for your body systems.

6.Take some rest.

Probably you did think all your goals would be achieved just in day? Come off it, it's not so. At some point you would feel tired, slight head ache or any other effect, the best thing you can do is find the best way to relax your mind and definitely, self, in that way you would be refreshed on arrival and more inspired to do more things. Carrying a not too important activity to the next day or shift in time is not a bad idea but always try to do it rightly.

I believe my piece has been able to make your day. Have a blissful stay in the university, college and et cetera.
