Cash strapped university students are being paid as much as £3,500 to be infected with dangerous tropical diseases including typhoid, malaria and pneumonia.
The UK students are among a growing number of healthy volunteers being paid to be infected with exotic bacteria and viruses for scientific research at institutions including Oxford University and Imperial College London.
The UK is a world leader in the study of infectious diseases and the experiments – known as “challenge trials” where human guinea pigs, mainly students, are “challenged” with an infectious disease – have become a popular way to progress the development of new vaccines at a fraction of the cost of field studies.
Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, has stated that Higher National Diploma graduates cannot rise above level 14 except such a person acquires an additional degree for his or her conversion to officer cadre that terminates at Grade Level 17.
Oyo-Itra made the clarification while briefing newsmen on some of the achievements of her office under the Change Agenda 2015-2018.
“This issue of HND/B.Sc dichotomy came up after the last National Council on Establishment and I think a lot of people are still confused about the policy. What was approved by the Council was that henceforth the HND holder can enter at the same level with B. Sc, which is level 08.
“But the issue of where they stop still remains that they will terminate at Grade level 14 unless they are able to acquire additional relevant degree that can now convert them to officer cadre,” she said.
A new video which shows the moment relatives of a rape victim confronted the rapists at a hotel owned by the father of one of the rapists.
25-year-old Don-Chima George (whose father owns the hotel where the rape allegedly took place) and Razaq Oke aka Ricco, 28, are accused of drugging a 23-year-old woman at a club and carrying her slightly unconscious to De Lankaster Hotel in Lekki Phase one where they both had sex with her without her consent and filmed the act.
When the woman gained consciousness, she allegedly asked them what they had done to her but they denied touching her. She then called her brother and he came to the hotel with policemen.
The rape suspects were searched and in their phones, a video of them having sex with the unconscious woman was allegedly found.
A woman has now released a video showing the moment the brother of the victim arrested his sister’s rapists.
The young men are reportedly still in police custody, although, yesterday, a friend of one of the rapists tweeted, rejoicing that they’ve been released and are back home.
Watch the video showing the moment Don-Chima and Razaq Oke were arrested below,
The Edo State Police Command, on Thursday, arrested six persons for torturing and inserting pepper into a girl’s private part in Benin City over an alleged missing phone.
The breakthrough, which was recorded following calls by the Abubakar Yesufu-led League of Patriotic Lawyers and other human rights groups, came as a relief to outraged members of the public.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Frank Mba, said two male suspects were still at large, adding that efforts had been intensified to arrest them.
The statement reads,
“Two other male suspects are still at large. Efforts are being intensified to arrest them and bring all involved to justice. The Nigeria Police Force condemns jungle justice in its entirety and warns of dire consequences for persons who resort to criminal acts of self-help.
“The six male suspects arrested are Otoghile Joel (owner of the phone alleged to have been stolen by the young woman); Lucky Igbinovia, alias One Man Squad, in whose house the young woman was tortured; Edobor Osemwengie (Manager of Lafun Hotel); Kingsley Iyamu; Gregg Eweka and Friday Omorogbe.
“The Police have established contact with the victim, aged 24 years. Her health status and recovery rate are being monitored.”
While speaking to newsmen yesterday, President of League of Patriotic Lawyers, Abubakar Yesufu, said the Police showed courage and professionalism in ensuring that the hoodlums were arrested within 24 hours.
He said,
“The League commends Edo State government for giving marching orders to the various agencies to ensure that the culprits were apprehended. “We also commend various women organisations which include but not limited to the International Federation of Women Lawyers, FIDA, Women Arise, and Ethel Women Initiative.
“Worthy of special mention is Curtis Eghosa Ugbo of Benin Solidarity Movement. The victim, Ada Friday, 24, did not steal any phone.
“She refused the sexual overtures of the kingpin, who orchestrated the aforesaid missing phone and with the aid of a native doctor, he became the accuser and enforcer in chief of that sordid show of shame.
“With the arrest of these hoodlums, Ugbiyoko, Ekewan neighbourhoods of Edo State would now know peace. We have also spoken to the state government and have been reassured that all the suspects, including the native doctor, would have their day in court.”
The Nigerian prophet who prophesied that Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele was only destined to be rich and to be without child, Faleyimu Olagoroye, has spoken yet again on the actress’ matter.
The prophet had at the time even said that she must marry a gate-man – it’s no news that FAB defied the Prophet’s claims as she and her husband JJC Skill, welcomed their first child together on Saturday, December 22.
Few days before Christmas 2018 and few months after they had their wedding anniversary, the couple welcomed twin babies – reports flew around social media and fans and well wishers sent love their way.
In a new report by Yoruba Movie Gist, the prophet, who is the founder of Blessing and Miracle Church of Christ, is now claiming that the actress had her babies through In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).
The prophet opined that the actress did not give birth through a means that is in the Bible – he claims that IVF is scientific and it is only advised for people who do not have the ability to conceive naturally.
Read him below,
“About Funke Akindele, she was a nobody when I have been giving out revelation about her. it was revealed to me that she will be very rich and famous but she will find it difficult to have a child, only prayers can help her out.
After her first marriage, the news was everywhere that she was pregnant, thereafter, we read something else about the pregnancy in the news. Subsequently, she got married to another person and I repeated the prophesy. She was said to be pregnant again and after sometimes, news came out again that she lost it.
The media came to me and I explained what was happening and the only way out. When she delivered twins, I read people’s comments on social media that I am a prophet of doom.
Remember I said she should pray very hard if she must have a child because she chooses wealth above children when she was coming to this world. One of the things I said was that she should go for a deliverance and she should ask God with her mouth what she want, not to go to pastors or prophets for prayers.
If I pray for her to have a baby, no miracle will happen, the only thing she can do is to pray with her mouth or she get married to someone who is not up to her standard. Then, when she is pregnant, her wealth will be reducing. After she delivered, it was revealed to me that she got the baby through IVF.
If Funke Akindele had followed any of the 3 solutions I gave her, she would have been pregnant naturally. People should read Genesis 25 vs 21-26, Genesis 3 vs 9-24, Genesis 17 -21, and 1Samuel 25-28, you will see people who are looking for the fruits of the womb from God and see how God answered them naturally, not through scientific method. It is only the people who can’t conceive naturally Doctors will advise to go for IVF.
Meanwhile, IVF is 50/50 things, not everyone that did it ended up with babies. It is a scientific method which is not in the Bible. Jesus Christ was born through Holy Spirit not IVF and there is no other miracle like that after him. IVF is not for poor people, it is for the rich who can afford it.”
The Nigerian police got a hold of budding Nigerian artiste, Teniola Apata, and was confronted for one of the lyrics in her song, Case, concerning the police.

The singer then responded jokingly that what she meant was She [sic] will hug police for your case.

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson has revealed that she cannot act nude in a movie even if she was offered a whopping $5million.
She gave this revelation in an interview with Asempa FM where she also disclosed that she disagrees with people who think money is everything in life.
In her words,
“Oh no I won’t. This time it is even crazier because I have a child. I will never act nude because I want to serve a good example. The money is cool but no. The act is going to be there forever and I wouldn’t want to do that,” she revealed.
Mrs. Rita Korankye has said that being a pastor’s wife is really a lonely journey – the spouse of Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, the Founder and General Overseer of the Royal House Chapel in Ghana, revealed this to Lexis Bill on the Personality Profile on Joy FM, Thursday.
She said,
“Every woman wants to be a pastor’s wife but it can be a lonely journey”.
She also revealed that one of her wishes growing up and due to her passion for kingdom business was to become a member of a religious community of women.
“I had always wanted to be a Catholic nun…It’s something that I wanted to do…,” Mrs Korankye Ankrah revealed.
Rita Korankye who landed a job as a banker later resigned on the advice of her boss. According to her, when the boss listened to a tape of her sermon, she advised her to resign because banking wasn’t her calling.
“After she listened to my preaching she advised me to resign. ‘This is not your calling, go and help your husband’s ministry’ she told me,” she recounted.
Mother of Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Mrs Olubisi Osinbajo, has stated that all naysayers who say the Buhari-led administration has done nothing since assuming office in 2015 are living in another world.
The octogenarian revealed this on Thursday after her son paid her a visit in her home during his house-to-house campaign in Somolu area of Lagos State.
“They have tried. If anybody says they have not done anything, then you can say that man or woman is not in this world because they have tried. What Buhari and Osinbajo did in three years, people couldn’t do it for 16 years. We are praising God and we shall praise God after the elections” she said
The elated mother thanked God for sparing her son’s life in the Kogi helicopter crash last weekend.
“I am overwhelmed with this visit and I must thank God for everything that He is doing in my life. Do you know that on Thursday (January 31), I was busy thanking God and praising God. I didn’t know what was going to happen on Saturday (day Osinbajo’s helicopter crashed in Kogi). I have been praising God and I told my people I wanted to praise God on that Thursday until evening of that day, not knowing that something would happen on Saturday. That gift was given to me by Jesus Christ that I should be praising Him and that I will never be sorrowful. That was what God told me,” Mrs. Osinbajo said.
A handful of Lagosians are enraged online after all the illegally parked tankers and containers that usually cause traffic gridlock on the bridges on Ikorodu road mysteriously disappeared for the second time this year.
The first time they were cleared was for the Lagos City Marathon last week and now, the road is once again clear and free ahead of President Buhari’s visit to the city for the APC rally tomorrow.
See how some residents are reacting,
"@comr_KK: BREAKING News:because President M Buhari is coming to Lagos Trailers,Tankers & Containers have suddenly left Lagos Road oo!…. how did they do it. wonders shall never end.@Gidi_Trafficpic.twitter.com/xP9TmEmIpe
@AkinwunmiAmbode its so pathetic that we V a seating Governor who careless about d people in Lagos. Cos @MBuhari is visiting Lagos, d tankers now can do d right thing by moving their illegal parks away from d bridges.@dynastykotun@APCNigeria@OfficialPDPNig
Buhari’s visit to Lagos..hmm..what happened 2d tankers on the Eko bridge, Carter bridge, on d roads parking illegally? These people are acting, we are watching. Who is fooling who. My Lagos peeps can you see this! Vote wisely.@dynastykotun@NigeriaNewsdesk
The tankers that have been on Eko Bridge & Ikorodu road have only been cleared on 2 occasions in more than 1 year. For the Lagos Marathon & for Buhari's visit on Saturday.
These people can solve problems. They just don't rate us
If PMB coming to Lagos is the solution to the Tankers and Trucks on the Eko Bridge, I think APC should add it to their Manifesto, that President Muhammed Buhari would visit Lagos every Saturday.
So because Buhari is coming to Lagos tomorrow the Lagos state government cleared all the trailers and tankers on the road. See ehn, as many as you people are, causing us untold hardship in Lagos, your punishment will be immense. In fact, it will rain heavily tomorrow.
I see political e rats are already politicizing the evacuation of tankers off the road of Lagos state because PMB is coming for campaign with talk of one party not caring about us
But we know the other party won't do anything different/better as we've seen in the past #sameni
The president is coming tomorrow to Lagos and suddenly the tankers have disappeared from the road. Somehow, they have found a solution. @followlasg@AsoRock this is the definition of perfidy, the height of hypocrisy, after two years, what a shame.

Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold’s wife, Simi has proven to her fans that her marriage is a decision for life after she harshly tarnished a fan’s hopes of marrying her.
The said fan had urged the petite singer to marry him and it’s almost certain that he’s fully aware that she is currently married. He said if Simi failed to grant his request, he was ready to commit suicide using a deadly insecticide.
Not so surprisingly, as she’s dedicated for life to another, Simi did not beg the follower guy to not end his life over his impossible request, instead, she pleaded with him to greet Jesus when he gets to the other side.
