The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, is giving out free data to its students as it prepares to commence online teaching and learning.

South Africa, with 3,034 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus, has been on lockdown to halt the spread.

The public university said, in a statement posted on its website, the “emergency remote online teaching and learning” will begin this Monday, April 20, in order to get the students back to ‘classes’.

The online learning is for both undergraduate and post-graduate students and covers all the faculties.

Wits said it has 5,000 new laptops for students who would need them.

It said it has also entered into contracts with MTN and Vodacom which would enable the students to receive free 30 gigabytes of data (10GB anytime and 20GB night express) for one month.

“Whilst many students are looking forward to starting the second teaching block, we understand that many of you may feel uncertain and anxious about learning online,” the school said. “We would like to reassure you that we are on hand to support you as we embark on this different learning journey together.

“The academic programme will be introduced in phases over the next few weeks, so that you have time to adjust to the new learning environment.

“All lectures will be available on our learning management systems and can be downloaded at any time. If you are still waiting for your mobile computing device to be delivered or your data to be connected, do not despair – you can access your lectures and other resources from Sakai or Moodle as soon as you are connected.

“Whilst we will be resolute in our efforts to recover the lost elements of the 2020 academic year, we remain committed to you, our students who are an integral part of the Wits community.


“Wits has negotiated with telecommunications service providers to have learning and library sites zero-rated so that you can access them at no cost to users.”

The students would not be given assignments or tests until May 4, the school said. “These measures will ensure that students are not academically disadvantaged in any way.”

In Nigeria, where universities are also shut due to the coronavirus outbreak, no public university conducts online classes for students or has immediate plans to do. Officials mentioned various reasons for this including lack of essential facilities and inadequate technical training for personnel. Moreover, Nigerian university lecturers, ASUU, are also on strike.

I learnt it was when Chinese went to Italy under the guise of helping their situation blew out of control. Hope it's not what I'm thinking?

It shouldn't be what you're thinking o...
Cos Nigeria can't handle what happened to italy

dangermouse:
Still in lagos, people are moving up and down unperturbed about the pandemic. Couldnt blame them much as man must eat...

Honestly that's just the basic truth

The coronavirus pandemic is still spreading and official data shows that the scourge is not stopping yet. Nigeria, like many other countries of the world, is yet to flatten the curve as the country recorded its highest weekly figure last week.

Also, last week, Nigeria recorded 223 coronavirus cases, 41 per cent of the total 542 recorded since the index case in February. The country also recorded nine deaths, almost half of the 19 deaths recorded so far.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has ascribed the increased number of cases to increased testing of suspected cases.

Nigeria’s tally of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country rose to 542 cases on Saturday night.

Lagos State has now reported 306 cases, followed by FCT – 81, Kano – 37, Osun – 20, Edo – 15, Oyo – 16, Ogun – 12, Kwara – 9, Katsina – 9, Bauchi, Kaduna and Akwa Ibom – 6, Delta and Ekiti – 3, while Ondo has 3 cases. Enugu, Niger and Rivers have two cases each, while Benue and Anambra have recorded one each.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) said so far, 542 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed. Of these, 166 have been discharged while 19 people have died.

An analysis by PREMIUM TIMES revealed that Nigeria recorded the highest number of its weekly figures last week. Before this week’s 223 cases, the highest weekly figure was 104, from April 5 to April 11.

Also, the average daily figure of confirmed cases rose last week when compared with the previous week’s average daily figure. The average daily figure for last week was 32 compared to 15 for the previous week.

Last week, Nigeria recorded 223 cases, 9 deaths and 96 discharged patients, while the country recorded 104 cases, 5 deaths and 45 discharged the previous week.

Lagos remains the epicentre of the outbreak in Nigeria, while confirmed cases in Kano have been on the rise since the first confirmed case was announced in the state.


As of the time of reporting, 19 states and the FCT have confirmed at least a case of the virus.

Nonetheless, the Director-General of the agency, Chikwe Ihekweazu, said Nigerians should expect the virus to spread to all states.

Chikwe Ihekweazu, CEO, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
“We have responded to Lassa smoothly and nobody shut down the country because it wasn’t necessary, the response was fairly efficient.

“Now, COVID-19 is on a much larger scale – at the moment in 22 states but it will grow to every state in Nigeria, there is no reason why it won’t – it is a respiratory virus,” Mr Ihekweazu stated.

He said NCDC will continue to be transparent with its operations and emphasised that the virus “will circulate in Nigeria, absolutely no doubt.”


PREMIUM TIMES, in this article, takes a look at how the cases increased last week.

He said the rise in the figures necessitated the extension, adding that one million households would be been added to the previous 2.6 million vulnerable households to benefit from the government’s palliatives.

Some states like Kwara and Osun also extended the lockdown by two weeks. They gave the residents at least two days to restock foodstuff and other essential commodities.

‘Too many’ deaths

Gunmen have reportedly killed an inspector with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Joseph Ochogwu, in Benue State.

The Media Assistant to the NSCDC Commandant General, Ekunola Gbenga, confirmed the development to The PUNCH on Sunday.

He said an investigation had begun into the killing of the inspector, an Idoma man from Benue South senatorial zone.

He said, “The Commandant of Corps in the state, Mr. Isah Ado, confirmed the killing during the handing over of over 460 cows belonging to Fulani herdsmen that were impounded by the Livestock Guards for violating the anti-grazing law of the state.


“Ado said Inspector Ochogwu was killed in Guma Local Government Area in his line of duty, a fortnight ago.

“An investigation panel has been set up to unravel the dastardly murder of the gallantly officer whose corpse had been deposited in the mortuary awaiting burial on April 30 this year.”

A statement from the NSCDC noted that the North Central Zonal Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Danladi Ciroma, was cooperating with the corps to apprehend the perpetrators for prosecution.

“Zonal Chairman of MACBAN confirmed that Ochogwu was murdered while trying to ensure peace in the state,” it added.

Oga naso you go carry problem for yourself... You Better receive sense

I mean she ain't interested in vaginal penetration due to reasons known to her. Its a red flag... Walk away and look for another babe who will gladly give whatever you want.

Yet you still wan go further... Continue at your own risk, because I don see wetin you never see.

And for the records, you are shamelessly cheating on your girlfriend and even bold enough to say it in a public forum. How sensible you are.

Please can you share your experience with me

Easybela:
some people are in hospital fighting covid-19,this fool is here worrying about pussy,receive sense bro

The fact that this is a faceless forum doesn't mean you display your foolishness here because you won't like it if I rain insult on you

Charleys:
She's a virgin.

Congratulations.

What made you to draw this conclusion please?

devilmaycry:
That's ur purpose in life abi....

Not really my purpose but it's necessary

Below is my story

Am 26 year old and I have a girlfriend too but finding it hard to stay without sex for long I decided to approach a girl within my vicinity because my girlfriend don't give it to me constantly the way I want.

When the new girl I approach paid me a visit I tried having sex with her but she resisted telling me she's a virgin, I believed her and didn't make any move again that very day.
Coming to my house for the second time during the course of our romance I decided to use my finger only for me to realise there was a hoe though it's still tight and fresh and she's still claiming she's a virgin, please someone should tell me how I can determine her virginity without necessarily penetrating.

What baffles me alot is that I have tried on several occasions to sex her but am surprised she always resist it, we do alot of romance like kissing, sucking her breasts, fingering her but my greatest shock is that she don't even moan, no heavy breathing, she don't feel anything and the moment i want to thrust she pushes me away and sometimes I wonder if she's going through health issues or she's a lesbian because I haven't met a girl so strong enough to resist sexual urge in this manner.

Please I need advice because I really don't want to loose out on this tight fresh pussy

Eulalia:
How?
When your mind is set on winning the game? Serious.

They'll surely be a period of rest in the course of the game and that's when the feeling will set in.

The feeling is natural as far as you're a normal human

To be honest, it's very difficult to make him 100% Happy without sex.
Pussy is meant to be bleeped and enjoyed by both partners

Eulalia:
Like,
Ludo
Chess
Scribbles
Ayo
Snakes and ladder
WHOT and other fun indoor games.

I Wonder why you asked though Cos everyone knows what indoor games are.

The indoor games will surely lead to sex and they'll all find it difficult to resist

NairaMaster1:
That's Benue politics. He wants to tell Benue people that index case is of Idoma origin, portraying the Idomas as their problems

You're the one bringing politics to it because I think the reason he gave is valid and please be informed that Idoma can never be a problem to the Tiv origin.

Sexytincoll:
Dont even bother yourself looking forward to a relationship else you keep getting what you don't deserve from Bleep boys.I can't even remember the last time i was in a relationship.For the few ones I've been in my life were for the wrong reasons. I get too much attention everyday and I don't take any serious because they either come for the breast or nyash which is not what I want. It's very hard to recognize real this days because of too many Bleep boys around.Focus on whatever you are doing and in no distant time you will find that true person who will dig with you in every.Dont sound desperate, dress to kill and pamper yourself more.Life is good. Stay safe

Hmmmm
So you're even aware that they always come for the breast or yansh

My advice is that one might come for the breast or yansh then along the line fall deeply in love with you so it will be nice given them the chance so you both can know each other

NDLEA not discriminating against PWD in recruitment — Spokesman

Head of public affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Jonah Achema, disclosed this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.

Achema said that PWDs had laid siege at the gate of the agency’s National headquarters at Area 11, Garki- Abuja, in protest that they had not been issued a letter of employment.


“NDLEA has described as “baseless and premature” claims by some persons with disabilities that have invaded its premises on account that they have not been offered employment in the agency’s ongoing recruitment exercise.
“The recruitment process of the agency is ongoing and over 100,000 graduates, including the PWDs, have written the Computer Based Test (CBT) Examination.

“The result is being collated to select the candidates in accordance with the Federal Character Commission Guidelines given to the agency.
“The shortlisting of the Junior (Narcotic Agent) Cadre has reached an advanced stage,” he said.

Achema said NDLEA was an equal opportunity organisation in respect of recruitment and would not discriminate against any category of Nigerians, including PWDs provided the conditions for the recruitment are met.

He stressed that the recruitment of staff was individual and no pressure group or trade union can put pressure on the agency to circumvent the process.

Am not discouraging anyone, with God everything is possible.
They're some people I know that got good jobs without a connection so it all depends on God and luck

BLUELemon:

My elder brother that recently got a job with federal fire service never went for screening or documentation but TWO appointment letters came with his name on it
