Cristiano Ronaldo has clearly not forgotten Michel Platini’s
comments about who should win the Ballon d’Or this year after he
snubbed the UEFA president at the Club World Cup final
presentation on Saturday.

The European champions released a statement on their website in
November slamming Platini after the Frenchman admitted the
accolade should be given to one of Germany’s World Cup winning
squad.

‘I don’t vote for the Ballon d’Or but, in principle, [in a World
Cup year] it’s a player who has produced big performances in the
tournament who wins it so it should be a German this
year,’
Platini was quoted as telling be in Sport.

And it seems as though Ronaldo – who is hoping to retain his
Ballon d’Or crown this year – isn’t happy about Platini’s views
after he avoided shaking hands with the UEFA president following
Real’s 2-0 win over San Lorenzo in Morocco.

Oyindolapo Shittu


Married medical student, Oyindolapo Shittu,
shares with FEMI MAKINDE and SODIQ OYELEKE
the secret of her success at the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile-Ife, Osun State
A young woman, Oyindolapo Shittu, proved that
being married should not be a barrier to a
resounding academic success recently, when she
emerged the best graduating student at the 40th
convocation of the Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Although she was a medical student, which
obviously made her experience more demanding,
she also carted away 12 out of the 18 prizes up
for grabs in the ivory tower, leaving the other
hundreds of students to scramble for the
remaining six.

It was therefore not surprising that on each
occasion when she was invited to the podium to
receive her prize, a thundering ovation followed
her footsteps.
With the 12 prizes from the

Faculty of Clinical
Sciences alone in her kitty, it was simply easy for
her to win the

Alhaji Kabir Usman Prize for the
Best Overall Student with the Highest Number of
Prizes for the 2012/2013 session.

Her other laurels are the Glaxo Allenbury and the
Paediatrics Association Prizes Prize for the Best
Result in M.B.C.H.B Degree in Paediatrics;

Prof. O. Taiwo Memorial Prize for the Best in Clinical
Examination;

Olaningbe Makanjuola Memorial and
the Nigeria Medical Association prizes for the
best final M.B.C.H.B degree examination.

Others include the Lawrence Omole Prize for the
Best in Community Health;

Maj. Gen. Olufemi
Olutoye, Candido-Da-Rocha, and the Adekunle
Okute prizes for the best in Surgery;

Tony Elemelu
as well as the Prof. Adewale Akinsola prizes for
the best graduating student in Medicine.

But how did Shittu make mincemeat of others,
particularly engineering students, who many
believe, usually win academic laurels with ease?
How did she cope with the marital and domestic
challenges not just to study Medicine but also to
emerge the best graduate in her set?
She noted that three basic incidents in life fired
her enthusiasm to excel. The first, according to
her, was the hospitalization of her mother when
she was still young. The second is her religion –
Islam – and the third, her friend who later
became her husband.


She said, “My mother encouraged me to study
Medicine. There was a time when my mother was
so sick that she was on admission in a hospital
for a long time. Then I was about seven years old.
Many people thought that she was going to die. I
was always by her bedside even at that tender
age, keeping vigil.
“It was on one of such occasions that my mother
told me that she would want me to become a
medical doctor when I grow up.
“Even when my mother finally recovered, I recall
that there were occasions too that my late father,
who was not so literate, would take me to the
University College Teaching Hospital, Ibadan just
to observe the compartment of medical students
at the hospital.”


Besides this parental influence, the valedictorian
also holds the view that her husband, who is a
lawyer, encouraged her to study Medicine.
She added, “I personally wanted to study
Chemistry but he persuaded me to enroll for
Medicine. He made me to believe that I would
make it in Medicine. But taking the decision not
to study Chemistry was not easy because it was
a subject that I loved so much. In fact, it was my
best subject and I looked forward to studying it
until he encouraged me to enroll for Medicine.”
The young Muslim doctor added that she was
encouraged to study Medicine by her passion to
help Islam. She said, “In fact, the zeal to help my
religion was another motivating factor.”


On how she managed to cope with all the
challenges in marriage, she noted that her
matrimony actually brought out the best in her.
The lady, however, does not have a child yet.
Shittu, who married in her fifth year in the
university, said, “It has been very pleasant and
interesting experience. In fact, it was when I got
married that I started enjoying the course. Things
actually became easier for me after marriage
because getting closer to my husband made the
motivation to be more direct.

“I had most of the prizes I won after getting
married. I had all my prizes when I got married
except one. Marriage has a positive influence on
my study. It aided me financially and boosted my
psychological well being.”


For Shittu, the success did not come that easy.
According to her, it took a lot of reading and
planning.
“When it comes to studying, I am not given to
crash programme. I did not have to wait for the
examination to be around the corner for me to
begin my studies. I read every day and that way,
there was never a time that I was under so much
pressure.
“I tried to read six hours every day. In the
medical school, many people are usually under
pressure and that reduces their efficiency. But my
secret is that I tried to work ahead. I read other
books outside medical books. I read novels,
newspapers and watched movies.
“During holidays, I rested and made sure I
enjoyed myself to the fullest and when we
resumed, I continued with my reading style,”
Shittu, who has started her horsemanship at the
Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital,
Ile Ife, added.


Asked the kind of movies she enjoys, she said, “I
watch movies where advanced technology is
being used. I watch medical movies and the
reason I watch such is to show me how medicine
is practiced in advanced countries. It serves as a
means of motivation for me. They practice very
diligently there. When I watch those movies, I try
to picture myself in that setting and working with
that zeal. But whatever I learn, I will make sure I
come back to use it to influence my people.”
While many graduates are not sure of what would
be their fate in the labour market, Shittu is
already planning to impact positively on the
society. She said that she was always moved to
see some poor people dying due to lack of money
for medical treatment.

To contribute her quotas to the welfare of
humanity and especially the poor ones, she said,
“I plan to establish a hospital to treat people and
majorly the less-privileged ones. That has been
my plan for a very long time. The reason is that
not everything is about money. It is about
fulfillment.

“I hope that will make God to be pleased with me.
I feel that the honor, which God has bestowed
on me, is not just for fun. It is not just for me to
be known but to influence other people and to
help the less-privileged ones that are usually
forgotten.”

Wizkid has debunked words that he walked out of the just
concluded Headies Awards 2014 in bad blood. The music star was
pictured leaving the event yester-night but according to him he
didn’t leave the show “angry”, although he didn’t deny leaving the
show prematurely…

Wizkid on his social page denying the reports said “Reports
making rounds is I walked out of the Headies
“angry”.. I respect the Headies and its organizers nd
no I didn’t… “. He also backed Headies following criticism that the
award was poorly conducted. Wiz said, “It’s not easy doing
shows like that in Nigeria with little or no
sponsorship so let’s give that credit to the “Headies”
for always doing it… ”

He also congratulated the big winners of the night, his ‘friend’,
Davido, next rated winner Patoranking and album of the year winner
Olamide.

did he leave after everything or b4 dy start?

One of the biggest supporters and
kinsman of President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-
Asari, has declared that the president
has lost the support of his political
base, the South-south and the South-
East owing to the failure of his
government to deliver on its promises.
Dokubo-Asari, at a press conference
in Abuja on Friday, said that it would
be tough for Jonathan to win the
presidential election in 2015 if he
decides to run based on the poor
showing of his administration.
He said that his decision to speak out
was for him and others who are ardent
supporters of Jonathan not to be
blamed for his failure in 2015.


He said: “I want to start with an Ijaw
proverb, which says: the eyes
watched its seven children to death.
Instead of advising them, it was just
looking at them until they died, while
the mouth talked its only child to life
and success.
“We have continued as Ijaw people
and the entire Niger Delta and South-
South to support the presidency of
President Goodluck Jonathan, but a
time has come when silence cannot
be golden.

“We mainly speak out in issues that
are very critical to the survival of our
people, the survival of the people of
the South-South and the South-East,
which happens to be the political
base of Goodluck Jonathan.
“Jonathan is surrounded by very
greedy people who are only in the
Presidency to enrich themselves at
the expense of Goodluck himself.
“This brings us to another Kalabari
proverb, which says: where there are
elders, a goat cannot be allowed to
deliver tied to a stick.
“If we don’t talk and we continue to
brush it aside, tomorrow we will be
blamed and people will say: Mujahid
Dokubo-Asari was around when
Goodlcuk Jonathan was president and
he didn’t talk.
“Them I will be an accomplice and
accessory after the fact….
“It is alarming because the South-
South must have its uninterrupted
eight years tenure, which is
constitutional.

“But with how things are going under
Jonathan’s watch, we are afraid that
we may not be able to have our eight
years tenure because there will be no
magic about it if it is going to be one
man one vote.”
Dokubo-Asari said he will continue to
speak out despite the fact that he had
benefitted from Jonathan, adding that
one of those causing trouble for the
President remains the Minister of
Niger Delta Affairs, Chief Godsday
Orubebe.


He said: “I have benefited immensely
from Goodluck Jonathan with my
stake but benefit alone is not enough
to make me to keep quiet when the
period is very challenging for our
people.
“So, some of us are tempted to ask
this question: why are all these things
happening?
“Why has the President allow some
ministers like Godsday Orubebe to
continue in government?
“Everyday people die on the East-
West Road.
“If Orubebe is incompetent as he has
shown himself to be, he should be
removed.
“Nobody voted for Orubebe.
“And why is Orubebe so important to
the President that he can’t remove
him even in the face of his obvious
incompetence and several allegation
to corruption?
“We feel very ashamed and
embarrassed.
“Orubebe was one of us.
“He was attending meetings with us,
sleeping in the ground with us,
entering night bus with us and we
nominated him to be appointed a
minister.
“We have gone to him and complained
to him that we don’t like they way
things are going in his ministry and
told him that if the President leaves in
2015 without the completion of the
East-West Road, we are finished.
“And the man keeps telling us there is
no money.
“When IBB (former military President
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida) was
there, there was money.
“When Abacha was there, there was
money.
“When others were there, there was
money.
“How come the money disappeared
when Jonathan got there?
“Jonathan and orubebe will account
for the death in the East-West Road.”
On the face-off between Jonathan and
former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
Dokubo-Asari said there was no need
for it.

He said that no matter what Jonathan
feels, he still remains a beneficiary of
Obasanjo’s large heartedness.
He said: “First, there was no need for
Goodluck Jonathan to disagree with
Olusegun Obasanjo.

“I don’t like Obasanjo.
“I don’t like his face.
“I hate him.


“But he was instrumental in bringing
Goodluck Jonathan to power.
“And the greedy people around
Jonathan have not managed him
enough to the extent that the
President and people around him will
allow Jonathan to disagree with
Obasanjo openly
“And if you check, all the people who
supported Goodluck Jonathan and
fought to bring him to power, have
openly disagreed with him.

“What was the cause of these
disagreements?

“These are the questions we want to
put to the president.

“Some people say Obasanjo is
manipulating Goodluck Jonathan, that
is why Jonathan is disagreeing with
him and we ask: what has Goodluck
Jonathan’s government achieved to
show that it is a departure from other
governments that have existed since
1956?

“For us, nothing has changed.

“It is still business as usual.

“So what are the advice that Obasanjo
gave to Jonathan that were so difficult
for him to fulfill, that made him decide
to fall out with Obasanjo?

“Obasanjo was instrumental and
manipulated the process that illegally
removed Diepreye Alamieyeseigha as
governor of Bayelsa State and
installed Jonathan as governor, made
him vice president, fought for him to
become acting president and also
fought for him to become president of
Nigeria.

“Apart from Obasanjo, there are so
many people who supported Goodluck
Jonathan, some have been pushed out
by those who were not there to give
him any support, while some others
are trapped and they cannot talk.
I have a feeling that Fulani man Buhari
would have done more for Niger-delta
than Jonathan has done so far
Jonathan has done nothing for Niger
Delta actually. It is getting more and
more difficult to support him, the
second niger bridge is another issue.
Even his allies are denouncing him.

What a shame!
