Bro, chill! I had the same experience as a DE student. I wanted to quit when I had 2.90 in first semester. I re-strategised my mode of studying, changed those friends that I roll with, and make friends with those average students a year ahead of me. My CGPA is now 3.95, still in 300level second semester though. |

My first CPGA at LASU was 2.40. Meanwhile, I have obtained UTME form and chose UNILAG before LASU could offer me admission. On seeing my first semester's result, I wanted to quit LASU and began to process UNiLAG but I can't stand the pain of starting from 100level when I suppose to be in 300level. I sharply changed my group of friends and began to mingle with best brains in my class and faculty, gave up social media for months, studied for minimum of six hours and maximum of eight hours daily and pray to God. That semester, I pulled a G.P of 4.40. That's how I came out of CGPA recession. 2 Likes |

| Politics › $2.1 BILLION ARMS SCANDAL: How We Spent Money, By Northern Elders by sheettle(op): 5:44am On Apr 03, 2016 |
In what appears to be a twist to the lingering controversy over the propriety or otherwise of the investigation into the $2.1 billion arms scandal linked to the campaign activities of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2015 general elections, the Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, has released the details of how his group expended the N53m disbursed to it in tranches for the elections. The NEF Chairman confirmed that a former Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih, spent his money on the assignment on the instruction of then President Goodluck Jonathan . The former presidential adviser told Sunday Vanguard, in an exclusive chat, that he was making the details available to the world to correct the information in the public domain that the funds made available to his group were part of the $2.1 billion arms money. Indeed, many PDP leaders are questioning the propriety of the conclusions of the investigation into the activities in the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, which claimed that some individuals received funds without contracts or that contracts were awarded without documentation or that some of the contracts awarded were bogus. Names of those who allegedly collected funds from the ONSA have already been published. It is against this backdrop – just as Anenih had made it clear that he was not in a position to ask President Jonathan where funds for the repayment of campaign costs he had incurred would come from – that Yakassai gave an activity-by-activity breakdown of the expenditure. In fact, the breakdown of the expenditure profile by the Yakassai group indicated that there is an outstanding balance of N16 million to be claimed. Yakassai, who made the document of the breakdown available to Sunday Vanguard, revealed thus: “Please find below full statement of the expenses incurred during our tour of 17 northern states and the FCT, sponsored by Chief Tony Anenih, on the directive of former President Goodluck Jonathan from January 14 to February 14, 2015”. According to Yakassai, “States visited were Sokoto, Kebbi, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Katsina, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger, Ilorin, BenueBenue, Plateau, Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi and Gombe”. He identified members of his team as Alhaji Sule Iyaji; Senator Abubakar D. Sodangi; Ambassador M.Z. Anka; Chief John Mankilik; Alhaji Sulaiman Lawal; Dr. Luka Bahago; and Barrister Bitrus Gwadah, Personal Assistant, with himself as team leader. The elder statesman said members’ allowance @ N250,000 for eight members for 21 days came to N42,000,000. He disclosed that return tickets for Abuja- Sokoto, Abuja-Kano, Abuja-Ilorin, Abuja-Yola/ Jallingo Abuja-Bauchi/Gombe plane trips were at a cost of N50,000 and the total came to N2,250,000. Yakassai put hotel accommodation of N30,000 per night for nine persons for five nights. The elder statesman further said payments to personal assistants was N20,000 per person, while the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, delegation from Plateau State, which visited Anenih, got N2,000,000. By the standards of those involved, Yakassai suggested that the expenditure pattern was modest. However, like the former PDP BoT Chairman said of the outstanding funds yet to be paid to him, the NEF Chairman put the outstanding claims for his assisgnment at N16,850,000. The breakdown for this, according to Yakassai, is as follows: Car hire for seven persons for 25 days at N50,000 totals N8,750,000, accommodation at other places N6,000,000 and Plateau Special Delegation got N2,100,000. He said the idea behind the release of the details of the expenses of his committee was “just for the record”. Already, tongues are wagging regarding the intention behind the names published as co- conspirators in the arms scandal as some PDP leaders insist that funds allocated to them were for campaign purposes and no one asked where the funds were being sourced from.

| Politics › IPOB Plans Live TV Broadcast, Massive Protest by sheettle(op): 12:56pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
By Chimaobi Nwaiwu. Nnewi - The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that it will resume protest in it bid to free Nnamdi Kanu, Director of Radio Biafra and that it is putting in place a Television technology that it will use to broadcast live all its activities in Nigeria. IPOB also said its leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu will no longer accept any food, including those brought by his close family members to avoid poisoning it by the Department of State Security, DSS, alleged to always scrutinize his food before allowing it in. IPOB in a statement jointly signed by its spokesmen Emma Mmezu and Dr Clifford Iroanya, said 'many people are willing to die for Nnamdi Kanu so Buhari led All Progressives Congress Federal Government should tread carefully with the life of Mr. Kanu because hell will be let loose if anything happens to him, Nigeria will never be the same should anything untoward happens to Kanu”. “Our resumption of protest is imminent but for understandable reasons we can't give you details yet. We are putting in place our TV technology so the whole world will watch it live online and gain firsthand knowledge of the brutality of the Nigerian Army. “We are IPOB and we do things in a unique way, so our next outing will shake the whole earth. The worst mistake this government did is to arrest our leader and now they are beginning to discover how formidable we are. “Death to us is nothing, freedom for Biafra is everything. Those governors from southeast state who have decided to bring them selves out as argent of the APC led government in Nigeria will soon know the stuff IPOB is made of at the appropriate time. “In response to what some South East Governors are doing, IPOB does not expect our elders and leaders to support us openly, we know that not all of them are trust worthy. IPOB worldwide decided to be doing and piloting this struggle without them at this point in time, till the appointed time” they said. Also "there is serious plan to kill Mr. Kanu by his persecutors who are confused on what to do about the charges they preferred against him, just as they said they will resume their protests. “We have advised our leader to reject every food, including those brought by close family members because the DSS that always scrutinize his food before allowing it in as might poison the food. “He will also not mix with other prisoners because we are aware that Interior Ministry officials working through the Prison Service have planted their agents pretending to be prisoners, in order to spy and report on him to DSS. “We have eyes everywhere so we get regular reports on his health status. Nigeria knows the consequences should anything happen to our leader because in every family in Biafra lands are hardcore IPOB” they said. “The bail refusal is not a problem for us because IPOB wants the trial to go ahead, so we can expose and disgrace a corrupt judicial system hamstrung by the whims of a dictator in the the present government of Nigeria” they said. The group alleged that “the trial Judge was hired to do a hatchet job, but he never reckoned that we will be this tenacious. As long as they want to go by the rule in this trial we welcome, it but any silly games will be resisted. “It is obvious that the Nigerian Federal Government has no case against our leader Nnamdi Kanu, hence we continue to call for his release rather than his vindictive detention. Meanwhile, the IPOB through it Media and Publicity Officer Mr. Emma Powerful has denied a local radio and television report in Anambra state that Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is begging President Muhammadu Buhari to release him. IPOB described the report precisely from the Anambra State owned radio and television reports as blatant lie that is calculated to destroy the name of Mr. Kanu and to give the impression that he is chicken hearted when he is not and is in high spirit to face his trumped up charges. According to Mr. Powerful to set the records straight, there no time IPOB, Mr Kanu or his lawyers wrote to Buhari, Nigerian Government or representatives of the Nigerian Government anywhere in the world begging for the release of Mr Kanu, rather IPOB through lawyer to Mr Kanu wrote the British High Commission Abuja over the injustice by Nigerian Federal Government against Mr kanu who is also a British citizen. In the letter through their lawyer Hon. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, titled "Nnamdi Kanu: A victim of travesty of justice and a call for British Government to be on the watch” IPOB said there is a deliberate design by the Nigerian Government to subvert the course of justice in the criminal trial of Mr. Kanu. “It is repeating the obvious to state that Mr Kanu is a full British citizen, by virtue of which position he is entitled to all rights, privileges and protections guaranteed under the British Laws and convention.

| Politics › 2016 Budget Will Lift Millions Of Nigerians Out Of Poverty – Lai Mohammed by sheettle(op): 1:28pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the 2016 budget will lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty and that there is no disagreement whatsoever between the Executive and the Legislature on the 2016 Budget, which has been passed by the National Assembly. ''There is absolutely no rift, no issue of budget being sent back. Things are just taking their due course,'' the Minister said in Abuja on Thursday when he visited the corporate headquarters of the Leadership newspaper, as part of his continuous engagement with stakeholders in the media industry. He said it was not true that the President has refused to sign the Appropriation Bill passed by the National Assembly, adding: ''It takes a few days (after the passage) for the National Assembly to clean up the document in readiness for the President's assent.'' Speaking further on the budget, Alhaji Mohammed said when it is eventually passed into law, it will lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty, thanks to the six focal areas of social intervention contained therein. “The first is the employment of 500,000 unemployed university graduates who we are going to train as teachers. Two, we are also employing 370,000 unemployed non- graduates, people with National Diploma and Technical Certificate. The third tranche is the social intervention targeted at 1 million people made up of market women, traders and artisans to be trained and given loans through their cooperatives. “The fourth one is the home-grown One-Meal- A-Day Programme. Here we are targeting several millions of pupils in primary schools all over Nigeria. The exponential effect of this one meal a day is huge. Even if we are targeting five million pupils and we are giving each of them one egg a day, you are talking about five million eggs that will be provided by our poultry farmers. This will also help to increase the demand for maize and then you are going to employ people all around,” he said. The Minister further disclosed that the Federal Government will also commence the Conditional Cash Transfer to the most vulnerable Nigerians, in collaboration with some development partners, to bring succour to such people. He said that a special bursary scheme will also come on stream to grant scholarships to students of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in a deliberate effort to support the students financially while also bolstering the nation’s drive for industrialization. Alhaji Mohammed also disclosed that the sum of N350 billion will soon be injected into the economy to enable contractors to resume work on abandoned infrastructural projects, with timeline and target on project delivery and job creation. He thanked Nigerians for their patience and the understanding of the challenges facing the government, saying rather than give excuses, the government was working round the clock to alleviate the pains of Nigerians.

| Crime › Senate President Saraki's Links To Kwara Cultists- Saharareporters by sheettle(op): 8:23am On Apr 01, 2016 |
In the afternoon of Easter Sunday, one Wasiu Idris, a famous member of the Aiye Confraternity, was murdered in the Sakama area of Niger Road in Ilorin, Kwara state. The death of Idris, also known as "Wasiu Igbo- Owu" or "Adanri," was reportedly carried out by members of a rival cult gang. Idris, who was in his early 40s, was well known in the neighborhood as a leader in his confraternity. He is also known as one of the elite thugs in the camp of Senate President Bukola Saraki. The deceased, who was living in Saudi Arabia, returned to the country on the eve of the last general election to resume work as a political agent. According to National Pilot, a local publication owned by Saraki, Idris was on the balcony of his house when four gunmen arrived and shot him at close range. "His assailants ensured that he was dead before leaving the scene in a commando style,” the paper reported. It went further to state that the attackers came to the area through Baboko axis around 3:46pm and escaped through Edun axis. One of them, the paper added, was masked. The murder of Idris was the latest episode in the fierce cult gang rivalry that has become a staple in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital. This death, however, produced less shock than that of Bayo Ajia, who was hacked to death by members of a rival gang on January 19 at his carwash business situated under the popular Stadium Bridge, along the Ibrahim Taiwo Road. Earlier that day, another top thug, Bukola Ajikobi, had been assassinated in Ilorin. It was widely believed that Ajia himself was plotting the murder of Ajikobi when he received a call to meet someone, probably a confidant, at his carwash. Ajia, who always moved around with a bevy of well-armed thugs, however, headed to the car wash all by himself and was killed. In 2004, Ajia was sentenced to death for the twin murders of AbdulYekeen Gobir and AbdulGaniyu Hussein. Both men were murdered in cold blood while partying at Deen’s Motel in Ilorin. Ajia's appeal against the death sentence went to the Supreme Court, where it was affirmed. But towards the end of his tenure as Kwara State Sovernor, Mr. Saraki granted him amnesty and he was freed from death row. But Ajia was not just another cult kingpin. He was a premium thug used by Saraki against political opponents. And on his return from prison, he took off from where he left in the service of Saraki. In fact Ajia’s death was ascribed to insinuations that he was knocked off by Saraki because he was blackmailing the Senate President late 2015. The use cultists as thugs in Kwara politics was premiered a few years after the return of civil rule in 1999. The late Muhammed Lawal, who was governor at the time, recruited cultists around 2002 because he needed them in the fight against the Saraki dynasty, which wanted him stopped from being re-elected in 2003. The Sarakis, who operated a major political machine, also had a most vicious army of thugs and cultists. Lawal was no match for the family regarding finance and violence. Also, to the advantage of the Sarakis was the possession of a ruthless propaganda machinery, which was efficient in shifting the blame for the actions of their thugs to others. By the time Mr. Saraki became governor in 2003, the use of cultists as political thugs had become a state policy. Thugs like Bayo Ajia and Ariyo were placed on salaries and were prominent members of the Bukola Saraki political team. Along with their political uses, they continued as cultists carrying out hits and reprisal attacks on rival gangs. Attending parties in the city became a hazardous undertaking because violence, often involving murders, frequently erupted. Many of the nightclubs in the Ilorin GRA are run by cultists, whose strong political connections ensure that such clubs got regular security cover, with security agencies turning a blind eye when they committed atrocities. Cult killings in Ilorin, people in the town, said, also, take the form of ritual killing of young women for traditional purposes. Rumors suggesting this are especially rife when the late Olushola Saraki, Senate President Bukola Saraki’s father, was ill. The recent killings of some young women in the GRA area has also been linked to the problems arising from the Senate President's prosecution for false assets declaration by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). This grotesque trend is new to the community, which has always prided itself on its Islamic heritage. The escalation of violence in the state, many are convinced, is directly linked to Saraki’s vice-like grip on political affairs in the state. Many analysts reckon that young people in the community have come into the voting age in the years of Bukola Saraki’s domination. Opportunities for advancement are limited for most of these young people, as the only openings available are directly related to the patronage structure the Senate President inherited from his father. Saraki decides who receives financial remuneration for political loyalty and when. He also has the mercenaries for whipping dissidents back into line as part of his political machinery. Any member of his political camp that exhibits an independent streak is put down via suspension, ostracism, and exclusion from the state-funded largesse. This implies that a dissident may find himself moved from relative comfort to grinding poverty. Most of the cultists have no real life skills and see Saraki as the only passport to living a comfortable life. This makes them ready to maim and kill whenever they are activated to do so. They are aware that the funds he uses for patronage come from the resources of the state, but have been wired to see the Senate President who is seen as a messiah. A little over two years ago, some thugs accosted Saraki at the Ilorin Airport and shouted: “Ole” (thief)! They insisted that they were no longer interested in working for him and demanded payment for services previously rendered. A very shocked Saraki was said to have sobbed before instructing enforcers like Kayode Yusuf (Maja) to pay off the disaffected thugs so they could disperse. Also last April, Ilorin went close to a total breakdown of law and order when thugs, several of them drug dealers, took on agents of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at a drug den in the Gambari area of the state capital. Early that morning, the NDLEA operatives started shooting in the area, drawing an equally robust response from the firepower of the thugs. Two thugs were killed. Later that day, one Ariyo, known as a drug dealer and Saraki thug, led reprisal attacks on homes of the NDLEA operatives involved in the crackdown. The action resulted in the killing of three people and the destruction of many houses in Agbarere and Ita-Ore areas. The fracas later spilled to other parts like Oke-Kura, Oja-Oba, and Popo-Igbonna, disrupting social and economic activities. Ilorin Info, an online news portal quoted police spokesman, Okasanmi Ajayi, as saying: “There was a confrontation between miscreants and security operatives. It was as a result of problem between the NDLEA and drug dealers….That was what caused the crisis and the police came and rescued the NDLEA officers, and we are trying to control the miscreants there. Some houses have been attacked. We have arrested some people. I can confirm that two people died. They were attacking anything they see. They did not identify any particular place to attack. They were just attacking.” What the police officer failed to disclose was that the 'miscreants' had close links to Saraki. Ariyo, who led the raid, was a member of the Saraki camp.

| Politics › SGF, Others Implicated In Saraki’s Unending Trails by sheettle(op): 7:40am On Apr 01, 2016 |
The current challenges aimed at ousting the sitting Senate President, Bukola Saraki has been linked to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Lawal and some other officials in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration The same implicated group of Lawal and others have also been fingered as the key challenges facing the unresolved Saraki’s matter. The claims were laid yesterday by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isa Misau, representing Bauchi Central whole speaking to journalists. The Senator also dismissed speculations that opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will take over if the current Senate President was removed. The senator further alleged that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation was recently in a meeting with some Elders in the Senate, he said; “I reliably gathered that some of our elders in the Senate once went to meet the Secretary to Federal Government, SGF, Mr. David Lawal, in order to find solutions to this problem. ‘’They were surprised by some of his utterances and they reported back to some senators that he vowed that this matter will not be resolved until Saraki goes down for spiting the party leadership.” He also dismissed the idea that the PDP will take over if the seating Senate President was ousted. “What my friend, distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, said will not happen because the APC caucus of the Senate will under no circumstances allow Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki to be removed. “But I understand the larger implication of what Nwaoboshi is saying because our majority in the Senate is very slim which means we need to be careful and that is why we need to find a political solution to this crisis and this trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.” He further assured the support of other members of the House across the geopolitical zones, “I am a Muslim and I know that nobody can be a leader without the will of the Almighty Allah. ‘’But I can tell you today that 99 percent of the senators are solidly behind Saraki. So what we call closing of ranks is actually for us to unite behind our leadership in the Senate, behind the Federal Government and also behind President Muhammadu Buhari,’’ He continued that; “Several efforts have been made and are still being made. However, there are challenges. Despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s commendable position not to interfere, there are some hardliners within this government who are still fueling this matter and are, as a matter of fact, interfering with the trial.” Source: www.theheraldng.com/sgf-others-implicated-sarakis-unending-trails/?utm_source=nnd&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=nnd
