Jarus: In my final year, I was alloted room 31, Faj. I sold it shap shap and go buy space for Awo, where I had stayed from year 1-3.

I only slept in Faj for one night(with a friend during vacation period) and one night at PG (with another friend during break when school was dry) throughout my Ife years. Awo thru and thru.

Jarus: Yes, there is an aura that goes with staying in Awo. And it may even take years after graduating from before the 'aura' finally leaves.

I hardly guess wrong hall of residence of any Ife alumnus I meet. For example, when I joined my current company last year, the first Ife guy I met. From mere interacting with him for 3 minutes, I knew he was a Faj person (i was right), He also guessed right that I was an Awo boy.

longjon: Was in FUTA at the time. Those guys left quite a legacy. I also remember that medical student SUG presido who stayed out of school for some years due to problem with authorities. What's his name again ?

Blazinraj01: Yes

The Action Congress of Nigeria
(ACN) has heaped the blame for
the ongoing crisis in Rivers State
on President Goodluck Jonathan
and asked the National Assembly
to immediately commence
impeachment proceedings
against him, for failing to live up
to his oath of office to uphold
the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement issued in Lagos
on Wednesday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said by
Jonathan’s abhorrence of the
rule of law and majority rule, the
latest indication of which is his
unmistakable support for
a group of renegade lawmakers
who are fomenting trouble in
Rivers State, the President has
become a clear and
present danger to the country’s
democracy, and must be shown
the way out in accordance with
the Constitution.

ACN said.
The party decried the anarchy
that is now reigning in Rivers,
simply because the five renegade
lawmakers have the backing of
the
presidency, which has
emboldened them to take extra-
Constitutional measures to try to
remove the majority-backed
Speaker
of the State House of Assembly.
”Taking a cue from the
presidency, the State
Commissioner of Police has
turned himself into a politician
and abandoned his
constitutional role. Instead of
providing security for the entire
House to sit, he chose to back the
renegades and their thugs to
unleash mayhem on their
colleagues. This is what you get
when a leader dons the garb of a
partisan instead of being a
statesman.
All sorts of minions simply follow
suit,” it said.
The party said that in the
aftermath of the crisis, the
soldiers attached to the State
House in Rivers have been
withdrawn while there
are real fears that the police
security will also be withdrawn
by a Commissioner of Police who,
apparently, no longer takes
orders
from his boss.
”This is not the democracy that
was watered with the blood of
many Nigerians. This not what
Nigerians bargained for after
years of
military rule. We should not and
must not allow those who are
now reaping where they did not
sow to reverse the little progress
that
we have made,” ACN warned.

BENIN – A middle-aged man
identified as Friday Ekuase was,
Monday, electrocuted in Benin
following an early morning
downpour.
Vanguard gathered that a Power
Holding Company of Nigeria,
PHCN, high tension wire was said
to have fallen within the water-
logged premises of the victim at
59, Gapiona Avenue, Benin City,
resulting in the discharge of
electric current in the flood
water.
Ekuase was said to have stepped
into the water and electrocuted.
Reacting to the incident, Public
Affairs Manager of the Benin
Zone of PHCN, Mr. Babatunde
Fadipe said: ”Whatever manner
in which the accident occurred,
the information on ground
which we are investigating is
that the high tension wire fell in
the area where he traversed and
unfortunately, he was
electrocuted. The company is
investigating with a view to
preventing future occurrence.”
