Two students of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, were found dead in a room at a private hostel.
The Punch reports that the bodies of the students were discovered on Sunday, February 20, after Room One of the hostel, located at the William’s Lodge, was forced open following a report to the police by parents of the deceased.
According to an eye witness, the two students, a male, and a female, might have died some days ago, due to the level of decay on their corpses.
The source added that the parents of the dead female, simply identified as Adaeze, had been calling her phone line for some days without any response. When she didn’t answer her calls, her parents became bothered and reported to the Police.
The parents in company with the security operatives stormed the hostel to check on her, but they met her door tightly locked. On forcing the door open, they found the two students lying dead in the room.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, who confirmed the incident said the student died from carbon monoxide poisoning from generator fumes but a post mortem test will be carried out on their bodies to confirm the medical cause of death.
20-year-old Moses Oko, who was arrested for the gruesome murder of a 300-level University of Jos student, Jennifer Anthony, has been arraigned in a high court in Plateau State.

The suspect was arraigned by the police before the Plateau State High Court presided over by Hon. Justice S. P. Gang, on Monday, February 21.
Daily Trust reports that the suspect was led into the court and had a quiet session with his counsel before his parents later joined them.
However, drama started as soon as the case file of the suspect was called and he was asked to move into the witness box to take an oath.
On reaching the witness box, the court clerk called his name to know if he understood the English language or Hausa language, so as to know how to administer the oath for him, but he did not respond and instead kept starring at the court without uttering a word.
Everyone in the court was baffled as the court clerk called him several times but he did not respond.
In his explanation, Counsel for the defendant N. E Jesse (Esq) told the Court that Oko was not mentally stable, as his senses fluctuates.
“It appears the weight of charges slammed on him is too heavy for him to bear and as a result has developed imbalanced mental conditions,” Oko’s Lawyer said.
Reacting to Jesse (Esq) submission, Muleng Alex (Esq), Counsel for the Prosecution told the court that the medical report before the court shows otherwise.
Muleng claimed that the defendant spoke very well to his Counsel in English language before the matter was called.

“As I was sleeping with my partner last night 🛌I got a notification from fb. I stood up to check; it was a friend request from a lady. I decided to go through her profile to know who she is. Finally, I found out that it was my old time coworker.
I accepted her friend request and she sent me a massage “Hello” since I was still online. I replied “Hi, I heard you are in a serious relationship ” I responded, “Yes”. she said, “I used to have a huge crush on you and I was afraid to tell you but I’m not afraid anymore✋really love you and I’m willing to do whatever it takes just to be part of your life”.
Hmmm🤥I quickly closed the chat to make sure my partner was sleeping😌and I just slid off the bed and sat my ass down and asked myself is this girl worth my time🤔.
I looked at my lovely wife , she was deeply sleeping after the busy and exhausting day she had from taking care of our son and chores. As I was still looking at her, something came into my mind. “This woman doesn’t deserve to be cheated on, look at how safe and comfortable she’s sleeping in our bed. She really trusts me so much that I can’t hurt her” I started thinking, ” she left her family, her caring mother and father, who at all times were providing almost everything she needed and her siblings who always brightened her day. But she decided to leave all that behind just to come and share her entire life with me. All these thoughts and more were driving me crazy. Then I asked myself, “how can I do this wickedness to this innocent woman?”
So I hurriedly picked up my phone and hit the “BLOCK” button.I turned to my lovely wife and I rolled over to the bed and cuddled her and she adjusted herself to accommodate me🥺♥️ I can’t afford to lose her trust or make her cry. Never!
I really hope my bond with my partner doesn’t break, I really love my Ayanda Chantell Mnyambo ❤️🤞”

A Nigerian Twitter user has averred that female medics in Nigeria are “hardly ever desired for who they are” as most men want them just because of their profession.
In a series of Twitter rants, the lady noted that once a woman tells a Nigerian man she’s a doctor or a nurse, they bring up marriage without getting to know her.
She added that most Nigerian men see female medics as trophies, and most of these men are usually unwilling to support the female medics because they believe they have money.
To buttress her point, she quoted a tweet that stated that men drive around the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in search of female doctors and nurses.
In her words,
“It’s quite interesting and sad to see that Nigerian female medics are hardly ever desired for who they are. The moment you tell most Nigerian men you’re a doctor/nurse, they bring up marriage because to them, they’ve found a trophy.
They fixate on that little detail and get so immersed in it that, as far as they’re concerned, that’s all they need to know about you. They just want to be able to say “My wife is a doctor.”
Your entire personality doesn’t matter, they are not willing to spend on you like they would other girls, they just want that “trophy” in their house. And you spend so much time in school that by the time you graduate, these men think they are doing you a favour.”

Reno, who made this assertion in a post he shared on Instagram, noted that it’s better to be average in a high-rent district than to be a lord in a ghetto.

In his words,
“Better to be an average guy in a high rent district than be a lord in a ghetto. Move from a low rent area even if you have to live in a room in a high rent area. Poverty is not caused by generational curses, but by generational bad habits triggered by your environment. You are the average of the 5 people you hang around with the most. Your neighbours either add to your labour or your favour. That is why you should choose where you live wisely. Slums often come with scums. It is hard to rise above your location.”
A follower who had a different opinion took to the comment to ask where he would get the money to pay for a high-rent apartment and if neighbors really “connect” people.
