A lecturer of the Obafemi Awolowo university has been accused of stopping a female student from sitting for an examination after he tried to flirt with her.

According to Ayobola Ojo who took to Facebook to make the allegations, the lecturer called the school security to detain her all through the period of the examination.

See Ayobola Ojo’s post below;

So a friend of mine was seriously harrased today by an engineer in ICT by name Ezekiah aliyu in Obafemi awolowo university, they went for an exam after finishing she sat patiently waiting for the next exam by 12noon, in the process of wiatimg Mr Hezekiah aliyu came to her and was trying to start a conversation she innocently ask Do i know you? Only gor the man to angrily ask her to leave the premises,she simply ignored and he call the security to ask them to come and pick her without a valid reason, this was 11:28,she told him she has a paper by 12noon, begged that she asjed who he was since she doesnt know all of this plea fell on deaf ears and the security whisked her away,on getting to the security she wasnt given any right to write,but was detained with the excuse that the man ask them to detain her.

She explained that she has an exam and didnt know the man was a lecturer since he was trying to flirt with her,she was told that she was to endure and not ask who he was since the man was a university staff.

After lingering hours the man showed up and asked that she be released after the poor girl have not only missed her exam but subjected to dishumanization act,i have the voice records, incase you are interested,we are hoping that many more people come up now to join this fight against injustice.

Is it an offence to ask who you are when the person(lady) you are talking to doesnt know who you are?
Is it an offence to be given a right to her exam inspite of whatever circumstances?

Are the security not supposed to question both parties instead of melting out injustice because she is a student and he a staff?

What happened to right of fair hearing?

The university is messed up,OAU is messed up,we want justice cos this has not only physical impact but a great setback and injustice to the girl in question?

Where’s the groom ?

The goalkeeper has been taunted on social media following his mistake that let the Foxes back into Saturday’s Premier League match.

After Loris Karius’ double calamity in the Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid in June, another Liverpool goalkeeper has found himself red-faced following a horrible blunder.

Alisson was signed by Jurgen Klopp’s side in the summer in the hope he would provide more reliable cover in goal, with his transfer fee of £67m ($84m) – then a world record for a shot-stopper – reflecting how much the Anfield side valued him.

The former Roma man compounded Virgil van Dijk’s errant back-pass with a casual attempt at turning away from substitute Kelechi Iheanacho, who robbed him of the ball and squared for Ghezzal to open his Premier League account.

Going through the numerous outputs of some bloggers in this part of the world these days could be as discouraging as they come as some of them appear to have lost focus.

The challenge they pose is a tragedy of our time, when we thought we should be having the best of time with information dissemination.

Indeed, one could conclude that this era of social media a la blogging and all kinds of news sites comes with its disadvantages and painful consequences.

While it is apt to agree that news is broken immediately it happen through the help of some of these next door social media; but how do you explain the use of obvious exaggeration and rhetorics in some of the outputs of bloggers and their media?

In a bid to grandstand and be commended for coming up with newsworthy materials, it is not uncommon to see these sites resorting to cheap blackmail and repackaging old reports to embarrass the organisation or person concerned.

If what we read in some of these reports should be taken retrospectively, then there is a need to apply decorum, at least for the sake of the reading public and of course the concerned organization (s).

Many readers are worried with the way few of these bloggers dwell on the past and insult the sensibility of the readers in their reports.

One of such reports that threw discerning minds off balance was a story relating to a popular bank, which was repackaged by an online medium as if the incident just happened.

It was reported by the online publication that nine staff of the new generation bank conspired to steal customers' money running into N600 Million.

The story was not only repackaged, if the figures given in the breakdown are added they are not up to the N600 Million said to have been stolen by the staff of the bank.

This only confirms that some online media are just passionate about creating tension where there is none and misleading members of the public all in a bid to be relevant.

If we are going to get there as a nation, we have to get things right and do things the way they should be done.

Let the bloggers know that to build takes years, but a big edifice can be brought down in a day and when that is done it will take years to build again.

So, why destroying in the first instance, we should be building edifices and institutions.

It is certain that the bank must have handled the matter, when it occurred and do all within its powers to prevent a re-occurence.

Journalism is about timeliness and not writing for the sake of writing. Why repackaging an event that happened long ago, and presenting such as if it just happened?

Imagine a scenario, where it is being reported that the first Nigerian civil war is ongoing, this was an incident that happened about 50 years ago. This could mislead members of the public and cause more damage than good.

Blogging has been taken to a new dimension with what is being reported by some, may be, misinformed or unfocussed bloggers, whose pastime is bringing up stale news and making it appear as if it is just breaking.

When issues like these are repeated without caution, then the essence of online media is eroded and slaughtered on the altar of charlatans and uncoordinated writers.

We must do all within our means to avoid publishing reports that have been stale as if they just happened.

Such reports belong to the past and they must be allowed to go into the dustbin of history.

There are so many things to write about today. There are issues that could engage the minds of the readers other than matters that belong to the past.



What comes to mind, when a story is read, especially in an online medium is, "oh it has just happened, ha, there they go again, let us see how it ends.' But alas it has ended, someone is just trying to be mischievous and score a cheap goal like Argentina's Diego Maradona in that famed World Cup finals of several years ago.



Social media and blogging sites dwell on immediate occurrences, presenting lucid accounts of fresh happenings and events, rather than bothering the readers with what belongs to the past.


People want to know what is happening now and not then. They want to know if President Muhammadu Buhari has returned from his trip abroad, or if the National Assembly is sitting on Monday to consider the virement proposal of the president, or if anybody has defected from any of the leading political parties in Nigeria and what is the latest about the detained boss of the Department of Stated Security Service (DSS), Lawal Daura and the likes.


We may have started from somewhere, but we can do better than what is being done presently.

When the chips are down only the deep can call to the deep and the future belongs to those, who can do it better and give the people what they need now rather than insulting their sensibilities with old stories that belong to the past.

When things are done ríght, then we will get it right and avoid being left behind by the countries that started with Nigeria and have gone past us in all ramifications.

Suspected political thugs today attacked a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria, covering the bye-election in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Chief correspondent John Amieyeofori recounted that the thugs descended on him at an INEC registration center in Port Harcourt city, hitting him and taking his money and other valuables.

Rivers, the oil capital of Nigeria is one of the nation’s political hotspots where political positions are determined by fisticuffs and guns.

John Amieyeofori said;

“When the thugs approached me, one of them grabbed my shirt and started hitting me.

“The thug then tore my shirt into shreds and dispossessed me of some money and other valuables I had on me.

“As if that was not enough, the thug attempted to use his dagger on me but miraculously missed on several attempts.

“I have never witnessed such vicious and unprovoked attack in my many years of monitoring elections.”

Amieyeofori, who said that he did not sustain any life-threatening injury, wondered why anyone would want to harm a journalist performing his duty.

But the visibly traumatised reporter is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Port Harcourt.

INEC is conducting a bye-election to fill a house of assembly seat vacated by Mr Victor Ihunwo, who became a Local Government Council Chairman.

Usain Bolt has arrived in Australia for a football trial as he says he’s deadly serious about becoming a professional footballer and plans to show the world what he’s capable of.

The superstar athlete has been given the chance to prove his worth by A-League club Central Coast Mariners, who have agreed to let him train with the team indefinitely in his pursuit of a playing contract.

The eight-time Olympic gold medallist and 11-time world champion touched down in Sydney early on Saturday for what the Mariners are calling an “indefinite training period.”

Draped in a club scarf following the 14-hour flight from Los Angeles, Bolt briefly greeted a small bunch of Mariners fans at the Sydney international airport on Saturday.

He told the waiting pack that the trial was “for real” and he was excited to hit the training paddock on Tuesday. He said;

“I always put my best foot forward and I’m going to show the world what I’m made of,”

“This is real,”

“I’ve said since my last season of track and field that I want to play football and I know what I can do.

“I’m grateful to the Mariners for giving me the opportunity and am happy to call Australia home for now.”

The club hopes to turn him into A-League material in just three months, with a view to offering the Jamaican a full-time contract in time for the start of the 2018-19 season in late-October.

Nigerian radio and media personality, IK Osakioduwa has said having a honeymoon is more important than a wedding reception.

He said this in a recent video he posted online to advice people who are planning to get married. See what he said below;

“Actively save and plan to have a honeymoon. I know many people now go without one and they say it is because of cost. No, you can go anywhere. Go to Ibadan, Calabar, Yankari games reserve.

Just go somewhere and have a honeymoon. Escape from the craziness. What does a honeymoon do for you? It takes away from all the business of your lifestyle.

Give this person a chance to relate with you and know you intimately. So before the pre-weeding photo shoots and dinner and the expensive trips people seem to have these days, decide to have a honeymoon.

I would say it is more important than your wedding reception itself.”

Husband who wears sexy thongs and pantyhose around the house has been sued and divorced by his Turkish wife.

he unnamed woman is demanding financial compensation after her cross-dressing husband of nine years made her depressed, she claims.

Reports say the man turned violent when his wife tried to discuss the issue with him.

Turkey's Hürriyet said the woman is seeking 200,000 Turkish Lira (around £24,400) after launching divorce proceedings at an Istanbul Family Court.

The woman's lawyer told the press after launching the divorce proceedings at Istanbul's Gaziosmanpaşa Family Court, the husband began to wear make-up and dress in women's clothes two years ago.

But the husband has filed a counter-suit, alleging that the woman questioned both his gender and fertility.

'His wife implies that my client has a different sexual orientation, attempting to blackmail him with this claim,' said the husband's lawyer, who is seeking a divorce without compensation.

Turkey is notoriously hostile towards the LBGT community and transgender people.

Last month, gay rights activists at Istanbul's Pride parade were tear-gassed by police after the celebration was banned for a fourth consecutive year.

Real Madrid are set to buy former Barcelona star, Thiago Alcantara, following the departure of midfielder, Mateo Kovacic.

According to Onda Cero, Bayern Munich have transfer-listed the midfielder and are open to negotiate. Thiago is a player who Julen Lopetegui holds in high esteem.

The Spanish giants will sign the Spaniard from Bayern Munich, as the player is expected to leave the club this summer.

European clubs still have until August 31 to do business in the transfer market.

Real Madrid are lacking a midfielder after they allowed Kovacic to join Chelsea on a season-long loan deal.

Spanish radio station, Onda Cero reports that Blancos have now reached an agreement with Thiago, but negotiations with Bayern are still to come.

The Barcelona star is said to be the only player new manager, Julen Lopetegui, requested for while taking over as Real Madrid boss.

The 27-year-old, who spent his early career in Barcelona's youth academy, is under contract with Bayern until June 2021, but after fives seasons in Munich where he has been an undisputed first choice, he could be open to taking on a new challenge - especially if it means he is reunited with Julen Lopetegui.

Thiago is a player with vast experience who is used to playing games at the top level; his touch, vision and ability to move the ball around quickly and efficiently are qualities which could suit Lopetegui's Madrid. And his versatility mean he could slot in different positions - either playing out wide, just behind the centre-forward or in midfield. Bayern might be looking for a fee of around 50 million euros for him.

The Croatian national team are obviously having a wonderful 2018 World Cup in Russia, and their President is also having a splendid time as a fan.

The President of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, traveled for the world cup in the economy class like an ordinary fan, and didn't watch the match from V.I.P section.

Grabar-Kitarovic flew economy class to Russia on July 1 and even featured in a joint picture with other passengers onboard the scheduled flight. She stressed her desire to demonstrate that she is a football fan "like everyone else."

The Croatian president arrived just on time for her team’s clash against Denmark in Nizhny Novgorod. Grabar-Kitarovic had earlier received her fan ID for the World Cup 2018 and watched the game not from a luxury stadium suite, but from the stands together with other ordinary football enthusiasts.

She said;

"I wanted to showcase that I am a football fan, like everyone else; I wanted to support the team among other fans in the stands.

I put on a shirt with national symbols, whereas the dress code in the VIP zone, which usually presupposes long gowns, wouldn’t have permitted such an outfit."

After the final whistle, which signaled Croatia’s win over Denmark, she entered the team’s changing room to give them a heartfelt hug. She congratulated the footballers and the lead coach on their triumph.

Does anyone else suffer migraines the way I do? I’m talking about the kind of headache that makes you throw up and keeps you in bed for at least 2 days. Painkillers don’t work for me anymore lol. Some days I can’t sleep without ice or a cold towel on my forehead

Direct sunlight, any bright light, loud sound, tight wig, the smell of coffee and sometimes stress trigger mine but mostly light...

I can’t even look at a computer screen without my glasses(I’m not short or long sighted) and you can’t catch me anywhere outside without sun shades. If not..hmmm.

Sometimes when I have a migraine and it’s night time, I must drive with sun shades on because some Nigerians don’t understand what full headlights are for..hiss!

I hear there’s no cure for migraines and it’s basically managed by lifestyle.
Anyway...What triggers yours? And what lifestyle helps you manage it? I’m tired. Almost 10 years now

Michael Jackson has returned posthumously on Drake's new album by Scorpion.

Drake had kept fans in suspense for weeks as he prepared the release of his fifth full-fledged studio album, entitled “Scorpion.”

As he put out the 25-track album, one of the most striking features was the appearance of a special guest — Jackson, who is credited as the co-artist on the song “Don’t Matter To Me.”

A dreamy mid-tempo R&B track driven by a synthesized bass, “Don’t Matter To Me” is in line with the late output of Jackson whose distinct voice is heard on the chorus. Jackson sings;

“All of a sudden you say you don’t want me no more / All of a sudden you say that I closed the door / It don’t matter to me,”

The Toronto hip-hop star, one of the top-selling artists in recent years has revealed nothing about the song’s genesis.

But Jackson is known to have left a series of unfinished tracks when he died in 2009. A previous posthumous duet, “Love Never Felt So Good,” came out in 2014 between Jackson and pop star Justin Timberlake.

Like “Don’t Matter To Me,” the Timberlake collaboration was credited in part to the legendary crooner Paul Anka.

Jackson had been working on an album of duet with Anka, the voice behind such classic pop hits as “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” in 1983.

But the project fell by the wayside with the former child star’s release of “Thriller,” which went on to become the top-selling album of all time.

The song coincidentally comes out a little more than a day after the death of Joe Jackson, the King of Pop’s father and manager who guided his children’s careers but was so ruthless in his discipline that his children were left traumatized.

Many people were left stunned yesterday after veteran Nigerian musician Daddy Showkey called out musical twin, Mamuzee for neglecting their mother for 17 years.

The very angry Daddy Showkey took to social media to call out singing duo, Mamuzee twins, for neglecting their mum until she died recently at Igando General Hospital in Lagos only for them to rush to social media to mourn her.

Daddy Showkey's allegation was recently backed by the sister of the twin, Augusta who is also the last child of the family.

Augusta, who was present during the old woman’s final hour, told Saturday Beats that their mother’s death was caused by the singing twins.

Augusta didn't stop at that as she also claimed the wives of the Mamuzee twin were also at fault for the neglect. She was quoted saying;

Tony and Andrew killed our mother. It is Mary and Martha that are doing this to them. All is not well, I saw what they posted on Instagram about our mother’s death. They do not even have her recent picture except the one I sent when our mother was in a coma.

The picture that they are posting online is the one my mother took after we just returned from Ghana in 1985.

Little is known till date about the wives of the Mamuzee twin. The two identical men got married to identical twin ladies named Mary and Martha.

The story behind the choice of their wives too is intriguing, as they said they made up their minds to get married to twins while in the secondary school. Andre said;

“When we were quite younger, we used to date different girls. Can you imagine, you are in the room with a girl and she is looking at you askance, asking if you are sure you are Akpos or Andos? It was crazy.

“Later, we actually wanted to get married to one girl, but it didn't work out and we then opted for twins. That is the fun of it, and in our house, there is no sadness.

Two sisters from the same house, there is no quarrel, no problem. We are both expectant fathers and we pray that when the children come, they will not be asking who their father is between us.”

A Nigerian author and politician has reportedly arrested a gay hairstylist who almost raped their friend, last night, in Lagos.



The author identified as Charlie Champagne took to his Twitter page to narrate how the gay hairstylist almost raped his friend, and how the stylist later got arrested.

See his narration below;

I was in my room sleeping when my guy called me, speaking in hushed tones, "guy I dey in trouble. the guy wey I follow comot na gay. he wan Bleep my yansh. na bathroom I dey hide like this.".

Brethren, we don dey Police Station now sha.

My guy is a budding cinematographer/video editor who is kinda new in Lagos, so I let him stay at my place, at least until he found his footing.

He has a director guy he works with who calls him for jobs occasionally. On Tuesday, he went for one of such jobs where he met this guy, one of the popular celebrity hairstylists on IG.

Yesterday, when I got home, he had gone out to meet the guy. Around 9pm, I called to ensure he was not dead. He assured me that he was just ay Lekki with the guy and nothing was wrong.

Well, he's an adult and I cannot police him sha, so I rested. My phone suddenly rang around 1am. This was my guy speaking in hushed tones telling me that the guy was trying to rape him and he has managed to lock himself in the bathroom when the guy slept off.

He managed to send directions to the guy's place, at least the one he could remember. I grabbed @MKO_Olawole who was also at my place last night with another of my flatmate and one egbon for street. Oya make we dey go.

We saw a police checkpoint close the the address he described and we managed to persuade them to go with us. We got there and after about 30 minuted of banging on the door, we finally busy it open to find the bastard practically naked. My friend finally came out from the bathroom

Now to the main story as described by my friend. The guy had promised to link him up with connections who will help his dream of becoming a big time cinematographer. So, he believed him and tagged along with the guy to one of his jobs on the island.

Little did he know that the bastard had plans to disflower his yansh. The guy's customer gave the guy some money to give my friend but he held on to it telling him that he wanted to "flex" him.

He took him to Shrine and sha got him high and took him to his house. I'm going to blame my friend here because he was quite stupid all along not to even see the signs.

They finally got to his place and the guy started telling my friend to go and bathe. My friend refused. He told my guy to give him a massage. He refused. At that point, he became insistent and wanted to have his way.

My friend's voice became louder and he had to hush him telling him to not wake the neighbors. Probably because of the highness, he finally slept off and my guy tried to escape but he had locked the main door and kept the key.

He managed to lock himself inside the bathroom from where he called me. According to him, the guy had asked "you don't want the 3k again" (the money his customer gave him) when he was refusing.

Last last sha, they wanted to bust my guy's yansh for 3k. We sha got him arrested and detained at the Police Station. We'll be going to church this Sunday to give testimony, thanking God for saving my friend's yansh. You're all welcome.

Argentina coach, Jorge Sampaoli could be sacked before their final Group D fixture against the Super Eagles on June 26.

According to reports, Jorge Sampaoli is facing a fight to keep his job, after a 3-0 defeat to Croatia on Thursday night.

The shock loss to Croatia was Argentina’s heaviest loss in the group stages of the World Cup, since they were spanked 6-1 by Czechoslovakia in 1958.

The underwhelming result follows a disappointing 1-1 draw with Iceland in their opening game and leaves the Albiceleste on the brink of an early exit in Russia 2018 World Cup.

This means the two-time winners and three-time finalists now need to beat the Super Eagles in their final game – and hope other results go their way – to have any chance of progressing from the group stages.

Speaking after the whitwashing by Croatia, Sampaoli accepted he was at fault for the loss. He said;

“I am the one who needs to make the final decision.

“The key to our defeat related to my responsibility because I am the coach. Had I set things out differently, things may have turned out better. I don’t think it is right to put the burden on Caballero.

“I don’t know about shame, but I definitely feel pain. It’s been a long time as a coach since I’ve been through this experience and it’s much more painful when I’m wearing the jersey of my country.

“[In the last match] we have to fight, give it our all, and we really have no other alternative. There’s pain because we weren’t at the level that the Argentine people expect of us.”
