LASPOTECH standstill as Masscomm students hold anti-campus corruption rally

By Michael Orodare, HNDII MassComm

The Ikorodu campus of Lagos State Polytechnic, LASPOTECH was brought to a standstill last Wednesday as Film Students of the department of Mass Communication held a rally to campaign against campus corruption.

The rally was in commemoration of the annual costume day tagged ‘Against Corruption Together: Stop Corruption on Campus ACT Now!’

IMG-20151212-WA0001

Vehicular and pedestrian movements on the campus was brought to a halt as the students, who were dressed in different professional, cultural and religious attires, danced round the campus with different placards, flyers and stickers bearing several anti-campus corruption messages.

The students, led by their course lecturer, Steven Anu Adesemoye, commenced the rally from the department of Mass Communication and moved round different faculties, to the Rector’s office and back to their department, dancing, singing with all kinds of demonstration, calling on fellow students, lecturers and all stakeholders in the education sector to join hands to kick out corruption on Nigerian campuses if they are truly desirious of ending the brain drain, dearth of intellectualism among others in the nation’s education sector.

The rally attracted the attention of students, staffers, traders and other members of the Polytechnic community. At the School of Environmental Studies and School of Engineering, the rallying students were joined by fellow students who troop out of their classes to solidarise, dance and take pictures with their colleagues and also lend their voices to the anti-campus corruption campaign.

According to the organizing committee, the theme of this session’s costume day was borne out of the need to put a stop to the endemic corrupt practices which has eaten deep into the nation’s education sector and has therefore put the education sector on a snail movement.

DSC_0645_resized_1

The Course Lecturer, Mr Steve Anu Adesemoye noted that corruption in the nation’s education sector is not limited to the tertiary institutions, but it starts from the primary level.

He therefore advocated for proper enlightenment for lecturers and students to rid Nigeria education sector of corrupt practices, from the primary level to the tertiary level.

Adesemoye said “We are not looking for saints, we only need those who are ready to change and drop the bad in their hands in order for us to have a better society.”

????????????????????????????????????

One of the students, Olowe Temitope described the rally as a success. She however said “we strongly hope that those concerned or affected by our campaign message will take necessary action to address the menace of corruption on our campuses in order for us to have a better academic society”

The President of the Mass Communication Students’ Association (MACSA), Omoniyi Joseph on his part described the procession as a creative and resounding effort towards fighting against corruption in our higher institutions.

DSC_0202_resized_1

Ominiyi said if everyone and every sector in this country can take the bull by the horn by acting against corruption in all sincerity, the whole nation will be better for it.

FG Removes Fuel Subsidy, cut Petrol Price to N85 per litre

fuel

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced that, effective from January 1, 2016 Nigerians will buy a litre of petrol for a reduced amount of 85 naira.

Although Nigerian have faced with the challenges of buying fuel higher than its present official selling price of 87 naira with over two months of unbearable fuel scarcity across the nation.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Emmanuel Kachikwu, made the announcement of the reduction in pump price of the petrol at the Port Harcourt Refinery Company (PHRC), where he spent Christmas inspecting the revamped plant.

Asked when the Federal Government would release the new price template of the Petroleum Product Pricing Regulation Agency (PPPRA), the Minister said he approved the new price for the agency on Thursday.

“Like I said, we have done a modulation calculation and it is showing us below N87”, Mr. Kachikwu said. “I imagine that if PPPRA publishes it today, it will become effective immediately. But the 1st of January that is when we are looking at”.

Dr. Kachikwu explained that the new price template will convince Nigerians that the pricing modulation that the Muhammadu Buhari-led government promised to embark on a few days ago was not a trick.

He noted that following analyses and research, government realized the country could fluctuate fuel price in accordance with the crude oil market fundamentals.

Justifying government’s reasons for scrapping the Petroleum Support Fund otherwise known as oil subsidy, the Minister pointed out that government could no longer afford to subsidize the petrol following the fraud that has marred its operation.

He added that it had become clear that government earnings were dipping on daily basis.

Kim and Kanye West Offered $2.5MIllion For First Pictures Of Saint West

rs_1024x759-150208195248-1024.kimye-grammys-1024x759

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been offered millions of dollars for the first pictures of their new born son, Saint.

According to TMZ, the offers came from various magazines, ranging from $2 million to $2.5 million.

The magazines want more than just a head shot of Saint; they want the full family, including North. Candid family shots are part of the offer.

However there is a snag; Sources state that at this point they’re “almost certain” they will reject all offers. You may recall, the last time around, Kanye unveiled the first pics of North West on Kris Jenner’s talk show. That show is long gone, but Khloe’s got a new show launching in a few weeks.”

Nigerian and Ghanaian Students Suspended in UK University Over ‘Origin of Jollof Rice Fight’

Jollof-Rice-Nigeria

LOL. The Beef and Competition Between Nigerians and Ghanaians is Hilarious. We all know right now that the biggest bone of contention is Jollof rice.

Apparently, it has been historically proven that this delicacy neither originated in Ghana nor Nigeria, but not everyone agrees with or are even aware of it.

Two female students of Nigerian and Ghanian origin studying at the College of South West London, UK were suspended indefinitely for fighting over this matter.

Lateefah Oyedepo was cooking her jollof rice the Nigerian way when Tracy Osei Assibey told her that she was going about it all wrong by using fat grain rice, instead of long grain rice.

fight-2-e1450859117931

Lateefah then retorted that the Nigerian way was the right way and that the classic recipe was of Nigerian origin. She also said that Ghanaian jollof tastes disgusting! It quickly escalated from there.

This wasn’t just a simple fight, fists were involved. The fight started in the kitchen of their fifth floor apartment and moved to the streets.

It went on for about two-and-half hours, until further catastrophe was prevented by one of the college’s lecturers who is Sierra Leonean.

The ladies basically went at each other over something they know nothing about. This situation perfectly shows that ignorance isn’t bliss!

The country boasts of the most populated people in the African continent which makes it one of the very many things that distinguishes it from other countries in the continent.

Its multi-ethnical composition and cultural diversity. Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups and of course, has several distinct dishes and delicacies from the different parts of the country.

The country’s local cuisines have become so popular that there is almost not a country in the world where you can’t find a Nigerian restaurant that serves indigenous Nigerian delicacies.

As we are in the light of Christmas, YBL counts down the top 10 most loved Nigerian dishes which the country’s citizens consume almost everyday and can be found in almost every local restaurant in the country.

10. MOI MOI

moinmoin

Moi Moi or Moin-Moin as some will call it, is a Nigerian steam bean pudding which has its origin from South West Nigeria.

The major ingredient in preparing this mouth watering dish is bean pudding. It can be made in combination with egg, crayfish, corned beef, onions, or sardine to give it that added taste.

This quite tasty meal can be served with other Nigerian dishes or probably eaten alone as a snack.

Ghanaian President Bans First Class Travels For Public Officials.

Ghana President

In a bid to cut wasteful spending, Ghanaian President, John Mahama has banned public officials from first class air travel.

The government said on Tuesday that the ban has come into effect as the country implements an IMF aid deal to revive state finances.

The presidency issued the directive this week asking all ministers and other top officials to avoid “unwarranted” foreign trips on the public purse, Communications Minister Edward Omane Boamah told media.

Finance Minister Seth Terkper told Reuters on Tuesday the cabinet is also discussing a financial accountability bill which would impose penalties such as dismissal or jail time for public officials who are found to violate it.

The schedule would impose penalties such as dismissal or jail time for public officials who are found to violate it.

“It is expected to be clear enough to enable the general public to see malfeasance if there is any and hold the agency involved accountable,” he added.

Boko Haram Victim Blacklisted By Society After Having Rapist’s Baby. (Photos)

Aisha Musa

Aisha Musa has been living in the crowded Minawao refugee camp for seven months, she’s been surviving by selling corn meal at the local market.

Aisha was kidnapped by Boko Haram militants who killed her family, and forced her at gunpoint to become a jihadi bride. Speaking to CBS news, she says:

“They show you a gun, and then whatever they say you have to follow their command,” Musa said.

She said her captor would lock her in during the day and at night, he would rape her.

“He would go on operations and kill people, and then come home and force me to be with him.”

Musa was rescued by the Cameroon military, but the worst of her ordeal was finding out she was pregnant by her rapist.

“I am not enjoying that I have a baby from a Boko Haram man,” she said. But she is resigned and there are moments of tenderness between her and her young child.

Aisha Musa1

Musa never saw the Chibok girls but often heard the fighters speak of them. Like many of the other girls, they too were forced to marry the militants.

In a double injustice, many are now stigmatized by their community. Girls like Musa are regarded as spoiled goods — her baby a very public reminder of a cruel and unfair shame.

Johnny Depp Named Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actor In 2015. (Full List)

johnny-depp

Pirates of the Caribbean crooner, Johnny Depp, has been named the most overpaid movie star in Hollywood by Forbes magazine after posting a string of box office flops.

According to Forbes, Depp, who is one of the highest-paid actors on the planet with estimated annual earnings of $30m, returned just $1.20 for every $1.

His poor position is due to the financial failure of movies such as Mortdecai, Transcendence and The Lone Ranger, all of which bombed at the box office.

The Lone Ranger took the biggest hit with studio Disney estimated to have lost upwards of $150m on the western, while comedy Mortdecai pulled in just $47.4m at the global box office against a production budget of $60m alone.

Sci-fi thriller Transcendence only just recouped its $100m production costs. All 10 actors on the “most overpaid” list are male.

Second on the “most overpaid” list was Denzel Washington, who returned just $6.50 for each $1 he was paid – still more than five times what Depp recouped.

Forbes’ most overpaid actors in Hollywood 2015.

1. Johnny Depp: $1.20 per $1
2. Denzel Washington: $6.50 per $1
3. Will Ferrell: $6.80 per $1
4. Liam Neeson: $7.80 per $1
5. Will Smith: $8.60 per $1
6. Christian Bale: $9.20 per $1
7. Channing Tatum: $10.80 per $1
8. Brad Pitt: $12.00 per $1

Adams Oshiomole Scraps Customary Court Of Appeal.

Oshiomhole

The Edo Government on Tuesday repealed the Act establishing the Customary Court of Appeal in the state. Governor Adams Oshiomhole, signed the Amendment Bill into law, declaring that the Customary Court of Appeal had ceased to exist in the state.

He said one of the reasons for the scrap was that more judges were needed in the high courts for quick dispensation of justice.

The governor noted that it was unthinkable that not less than 6000 cases were hitherto pending before only 24 judges of the high court.

Following this new development, the judges in the court were automatically transferred to the State High Court, thereby increasing the number of the State high court judges from 24 to 30.
