Welldone comrade. You are doing well.

Case so serious, they posted the headline twice!

So Sad. Inna lilahi wainna ilehi rahjihun.

I just checked this message and I don't even know what I was thinking then to post such. I never meant for someone's relationship to end badly and I don't wish for anyone who has found love to end in a bad term. "It will end in tears" was actually a trend then and I foolishly hopped on it. I am not the person I was now so I think it's best for me to delete that comment.

Mercy2006:
I'm sure you don't mean that.Will you jump for joy if that was said to your sister? Haba!!!!! E beru olorun now!

I first heard about them Oct 2019 but I was very skeptical about it. So I watched till June 2020. I invested 5 months with a compound interest of 20% every month. As at December, I have already made more in profit than I have invested, so i removed my profit and continued with my capital. I remove the 20% ROI every month. As at now, January 2021, I can say it is legit. They have branch offices at Lagos, Ibadan and Enugu. They are also planning to open more at Abuja and Ekiti/ Ondo.

Tinyemeka:


When did you first hear about them? Like how long have they been operating?

As at now, I dont have any issues with them. I have been investing with them since june and I have made more than what I invested since then, SO basically I have cashed out my capital and now investing the profit in case anything happens.

It is really a serious case if with all the technological advancement in China, they are still unable to completely control the Virus.

I just hope the climate and geographical location of Africa is the main thing preventing the wide spread of this virus because if not only God knows what would have happened by now.

Most times it is usually on the quick setting or check in the display srttings. Android 8.1 and above tho

how do I locate the reading mode on my android phone please?

Even latest smart TVs come have a blue filter that you can turn on or set automatically. If you are using an old one, you could just buy the blue filter screen and stick it permanently to the TV.

Filtering blue radiation is the way forward.

Windows 10 comes with reading mode and so do standard android phones. In fact, reading mode functionality is permanent on my phone.

*UI Robbery: When Will The Management Get It Right?*

_“A handful of soldiers is always better than a mouthful of arguments.”_ – Georg C. Lichtenberg

*ABD'RAHMAN ONIFADE*


This writer has been drowned in an ocean of thoughts lately. Two days ago, I wanted to do a piece on the effects of cultism on Nigerian campuses, in commemoration of Students’ Unionists whose lives were truncated in Obafemi Awolowo University 20 years ago, courtesy of cultists and OAU management complicity. But I could not due to some issues. Among the many antisocial acts committed by cultists, mentioned in my text, include: liberal consumption of alcohol, use of psychoactive drugs and smoking of Indian hemps; stealing, extortion and armed robbery; sexual abuse, rape and arson; and manslaughter, murder, assassination and maiming.
These nefarious deeds manifest most times when students’ conscience has been battered and shattered; especially when the Students’ Union has been banned outright or technically ‘suspended’ like the case of the University of Ibadan.

*Awo Hall*
I join other alumni to condemn in very strong term the inhumane robbery activities that took place in Awo Hall. The culprits who inflicted traumatizing pains on our ‘Amazing Women Only’ hall shall go down in their waterloo and find no peace. The whole stories I have read on numerous timelines are very saddening.
Dear Awoites, even though you have reasons to be scared, please stay strong. I equally would like to commend those courageous Awoites who raised alarm for help via social media. You’re amazing.

*UI Security – Abefele*
Foremost, it should be borne in mind that security is everybody’s business. Security, without exaggeration, is a catalyst to development. Therefore, management, students, the Abefele and the police must see themselves as partners in progress; even though a chunk of the responsibilities fall on the management.
It is no gainsaying that it is high time the UI overhauled its security unit. I, for one, do not fancy the current Chief Security Officer. A few encounters (including an SDC meeting) I have had with him on campus depicted he has a condescending view of students as some bunch of kids who don’t know what they are doing. This is an aside.
It is an open secret that many of the Abefele personnel are old and have been weakened by age. They are only on the job to get paid and make ends meet. And when some of them eventually get paid at the end of the month, they spend their wages on drinks at ‘Abe Igi’ in Abadina. They seem to have PhDs in harassing students when chances show up; except for a few.
The management can no longer be mortgaging students’ security with aged personnel. While a few of them could be retained based on their experience (which is seldom put to use), I strongly feel young chaps be employed and well-trained to attend to security challenges on campus. Street lights be installed and technologies like CCTVs too.
Likewise, the bureaucracy that characterizes the chains of communications should be revamped. Imagine thieves coming to the hall to rob by 1:00am or so and the Abefele could not get there until about the 2:30am? That is ridiculous.

*Ban on Bikes and the introduction of Keke Napep*
Some of the Abefeles operated commercial bikes on campus; perhaps to augment their salaries. I recall that while we served at the UISU, one Abefele man had wanted to extort me with his bike just around 9:30pm. Not knowing his identity, I had requested the bike to take me from Faculty of Arts to The Great Independence Hall. He said I would pay N100 which I declined. I seized his key and called Hon. Badmus Adebayo (aka Radical Bayo) from Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall with whom I took him to the Abefele unit, only to discover he was a staff. They pleaded on his behalf though and we let go.
My uninformed guesses tell me the ridiculous policy to ban bikes on campus would exacerbate robbery. What is the possibility that some of those laid off through the ban on bikes are not complicit or getting back? As far back as 2017, I recall that a colleague told me some offices were burgled in the Faculty of Agriculture and about 7 laptops were stolen. In actual fact, some offices of the Executives of the UISU were once broken too. And the management has been paying lip services like those at the top echelon of the nation.
I should like to state that the UI management under the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, needs to realize that students are partners in progress and require honesty when dealing with them. Even though he has banned the SU, he could still have had honest meetings with the Faculty Presidents and Hall Chairpersons and open up that the UI wanted to use the Keke NAPEP to generate funds (Internally Generated Revenues); rather than giving unconvincing excuses that bike operations on campus had promoted robbery. Did bikes also occasion the unheroic thievery that happened at Awo Hall?
I made a few calls to some student leaders on campus this morning and revelations made were that they were even the ones who requested meeting with the management based on hearsays and grapevines about the Keke NAPEP policy. And that the VC in his characteristic temperament told them it was no issue to be discussed with students; that they had already finalized it. Well done sir!

*Hostels Facilities*
The truth is that the management is robbing the students of so many things. Accommodation fees were upped from N14,000 to N30,000; and yet, what could be shown for it than some cosmetic beautification of walls and superficial renovations? Before the management comes tell us UI is one of the best in accommodation, we should like to tell them otherwise.
Where I am in the north, fresh students pay N12,500 (twelve thousand five hundred naira only) for accommodation and the sophomores (or stalites) pay N7,070 (seven thousand seventy naira).
Their hostels have fans, they are allowed to use hot plates and the helpers clean the hostels twice a day. I mean twice a day; with very humane relations with students. Of course, in this Nigeria. I heard from our predecessors the management had promised to fit fans in each room since 2008 when the fees were upped. Do the rooms have fans now?

*UISU Can Secure Students – Not Exaggeration*
Though many of our tertiary institutions have continued to stifle students’ voices and the resultant effects could be the upsurge of cultism and other antisocial acts on campus. There is no better time to remind the Vice Chancellor, yet again, that the Students’ Union should be restored.
I recall also that our predecessors in the UISU had laid the foundation for security among students; hence, the Students’ Union Security Committee. When the insecurity gradually surged again, especially when a student was stabbed during a robbery attack along St. Anne’s Hostel in 2017, the SRC 6th Assembly strengthened the Security Committee to also function as a Vigilante Group. Under CSO, Hon. James Ohepo Boniface Olofu , a ‘Bill’ was passed in the House. The Bill had its public hearing in the SRC Chamber with inputs from Defence Ministers, Man O’War, Hall Marshalls and generality students.
Among other things, the Security Committee was broadened to be composed of at least a nominee from each of hall of residence and faculty – making about 26 members – and the Chairman would be a member of the Council Security Committee. The functions of the Committee were to be complementary to Abefele’s activities, not to rival. And the immediate UI CSO commended it and was ready to implement its contents; save the suspension of the SU.
As it stands, only the ‘rank’ and ‘file’ of students under the aegis of the SU can match up these nefarious thieves who want to intimidate students.

*NANS JCC Oyo State*
I should like to commend the NANS JCC Oyo Axis for its show of intellectual doggedness and a presumable disposition to radicalism in its fights so far for students’ rights. Well done, Comrades!
It is absurd that UI under Prof Olayinka suspended the SU and yet for the past two sessions collects the Union dues. The money generated for the session the SU was suspended was not remitted; hence, at least about N15 million would have been collected from undergraduate and postgraduate students on behalf of the ‘suspended’ SU so far. I do not know what to call this in an institution where students are supposedly being trained to be worthy in ‘character’ and ‘learning’.

*Conclusion*
I would like to conclude by beseeching *the student leaderships of Zik and Indy Hall* to mobilize students around Awo Hall for the meantime. The Man O’War too should help; even though the Police should likely be around. I have no doubt that when the tempo is kept high with gyrations, it should ward off these criminals. My uninformed guesses say they could be cultists; after all, the management in its statement says they are aged 15-20 years. How they knew their age baffles me though?
To the management and the VC, we do not pray for any casualties, but #BringBackOurUnion.

You do not run a university in the 21st century with fear and threats and without inputs from the students. You rusticate students and threaten them with SDC in issues in which you cannot be exonerated. Should you continue like this, you would be empowering cultists and endangering the lives of students, to whom like you always claim, are in loco parentis.

I would like to close with Thomas Jefferson’s counsel that:
“I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.”

BOYS MUST BE BOYS AGAIN

Obafemi Awolowo Hall is one of the places I will give back to later in the future. Simply for its history and my experience with the inmates. I sympathize with the inmates of the hall. It is indeed an unfortunate event. It is irritating and sad. One of the memories I relish in is the number of votes I (vying for SU President) was given during the 2016/17 elections. Out of 788 (+13 void) votes, I polled 495. Most of those who cast the votes are still on campus studying. Of course they constitute a share number of the current inmates.

Robbery on campus should never be that easy. But these days, the most stupid things happen easily and go unreported without any form of outcry.

Majority of our "boys" in the nearest male halls of residence decided to stay inside their rooms throughout the entire tragedy. Just 7 or 10 cowards held about 15,000 young people - half of which are "male" - in their rooms and even threatened to come back. It is a shame. Idiocy can never be that great except there is an act of lobotomy involved. Lobotomy gone wrong and it has lead to the loss of human feelings in young people -like robots.

I read in a book by Lekan Akinosho that in 1991(?) when Queen Elizabeth II Hall caught fire, the fire service of the University refused to respond. The fire, apparently, had been caused by an explosion and had engulfed the wooden walls of the blocks. There were buildings made of wood in the halls of residence then. You still find the structures upon which they were built if you look well.

On catching the news, residents of Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall, trooped out and headed for the scene in Queens Hall. I read an eye witness account of the incidence. Zikites put out the fire with bare hands by removing the woods that had caught fire and isolating them. It is a simple tactic from animal husbandry (entailing the separation of infected animals) or local cooking (with firewood) in our various homes.

There have been instances in recent times when young people on campuses dislodged armed men from their vicinity. I mean heavily armed men. Just recently, we did the 20th annual remembrance of George Iwilade who was killed by gun totting men. The Students Union organised the students and, led by their President, apprehended all the killers.

In the very early years of the 2000s, the Students Union Executive Committee members were attacked by armed men. When the latter attacked a religious gathering inside the Great Independence Hall to catch up with one of their targets, they met their Waterloo. Incensed by the daring behaviour of the armed men, students mobilised themselves and with a mammoth crowd, the gun men were arrested. The Kunle Adepeju building that was occupied by the armed man was liberated.

Students responses have scared robbers away from the same Obafemi Awolowo Hall in the very recent past. I personally don't know why girls will be put in such an isolated area in the first place.

We formed a college policing strategy comprising all members of the Students Union which was to report theft and membership of proscribed societies to the Students Union Executives or the Security Unit. We were able to ward off extortions by some people who claimed to have supernatural powers.

It's a shame boys are not boys again. Even if it is a form of scare that you can afford, you should still mobilise yourselves and scare them away. We had a weekly programme in Zik Hall then during the administration of Mr Olurombi Adefolami (alias Case). We called it "Zik @ 7" and I was the anchor. Cas, being a visionary leader, wanted to set a course for training of statesmen, patriots, great fathers and husbands. I amazed to see girls attend the program. It was held at the famous B Block Basement of Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall. We invited many past leaders to speak to us on the agony and joy of being responsible men. Those who attended remember many of the invited guests saying things like 'Zikites take care of their women'.

All major atrocious things in the world were commited by men and many of those things will be fixed by men. Get get that in your head and begin to take responsibility.
