Governor Lamido Appeals To ASUU To End Strike

Governor Lamido Appeals To ASUU To End Strike

Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa on Saturday appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to end the ongoing strike in the interest of the students.

Mr. Lamido made the appeal when he received a delegation from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Dutse.

He said it was unfortunate that the industrial action was now almost three months since it began.

The governor blamed the protracted strike on lack of trust between the Federal Government and ASUU.

“It is really unfortunate that the strike has lasted up until this time. There is no trust between the two bodies and when there is no trust it will be difficult to have a common ground.

“As a parent, I am so worried seeing our children that supposed to be in school at home.

“I am appealing to ASUU to go back to the classroom while the negotiation with the government continues,” he said.

Mr. Lamido, however, pleaded with the Federal Government to continue to dialogue with the union, even after the strike had been called off.

He said this would enable the two parties to sort out the gray areas in the dispute, adding that ASUU and the Federal Government should approach the dialogue with sincerity.

Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Ahmed Jibril, appealed to Lamido to intervene to end the lingering industrial action.

Mr. Jibril, who is the Vice President National Affairs, NANS, said that it was unfortunate for students to be allowed to stay at home for more than three months as a result of the strike.

He said parents and students are left to bear the consequences of the strike.

He told Mr. Lamido that they were in the state on tour of education facilities.

She looks very young like a lady in her early 30s, but actress Kate Henshaw is 42 years old and she is single again after she was married for several years. Below is what she said about her collapsed marriage:

I just decided that, ok, it didn’t work. Next, I had to move on. There is no need holding on to the past – no need holding on to something if it’s not working any more. There is no need flogging a dead horse since it is already lifeless. And when you decide to bury the horse, would you not leave the grave site afterwards? You would go now. 
Anything that happens to you now, that sun would still set, another day would come. So, it’s your choice to either be part of the living or be in the grave yard. 
And I choose to be alive, enjoy my life and smile at everything that is happening – good or bad. As long as God is with you, things would always be fine with you.

I’m not thinking about anything. At the moment, I’m facing my career. If it comes, fine. If it doesn’t come, that’s okay. It’s not the end of the world because I’m convinced that God loves me. Love has given me more than enough. I have the most gorgeous daughter in the whole world. That’s enough for me.

When Sonya Gore’s estranged, adulterous husband proposed to her on Facebook, she set him a challenge that doubled as punishment.

She forced Ivan Lewis to post a photo of himself on the social media site holding a hand-written note that read, ‘I cheated on my wife!!! (and she was ugly!!!)’.

But proving that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, the 40-year-old said she would only marry Lewis if his embarrassing September 22 post attracted 10,000 likes. The post already has more than 6,500 likes, although Gore reckons she is ‘not making the decision [to reconcile] solely on that.’

Top 5 Bankable Nigerian Actresses

Top 5 Bankable Nigerian Actresses

Four elements contribute to the success of a movie at the box-office. They include good script, experienced director, professional publicist, and most importantly, the big name stars.

In Nigeria, some movie stars have proven again and again that they can guarantee return on investment as long as their faces adorn the poster. They are Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Omoni Oboli, Funke Akindele and Nse Ikpe-Etim. Or how else could one explain the success of box office hits like Mirror Boy, Ije, and Tango With Me all having Genevieve Nnaji starring in them? And what about Figurine and Anchor Baby which both starred Omoni Oboli as the lead actress?

Here, We take a look at Nollywood’s five bankable actresses, their earnings and what is possibly working for them.

1. Genevieve Nnaji




Topping the list of five is Genevieve Nnaji. Love or hate her, Genny as she is fondly called, has a way with cinema audiences that make them come back again and again for her movies.

So far, Genevieve’s starring in the movies has grossed over N83 million at the box office. Mirror Boy (described by the actress as her first major film and the first to put her at the box-office) made N18 million, while Ije netted N60 million turning out to be Nigeria’s highest grossing movie ever. But Genevieve had to share the money with Omotola, who also acted alongside her. If the sharing formula is 50-50, then Genevieve gets N30 million of the total gross.

Genevieve’s next movie, Tango with Me went on to make N35 million. So, putting all the figures together, Genny remains at the head of the pack. What seem to be working for Genevieve are her enduring power, popularity and social media connection. The actress has been there for over a decade and is still waxing stronger. Her wine seems to taste better with age.

Another plus for Genny is her popularity. Genevieve is hugely popular across Africa and most especially among the youths. Before now, she has been very active on the social media especially Twitter. She even had to put up a Facebook advert after reports emerged that some acts were ahead of her there.

Note: These business cannot reap holes in your pocket, you can start the business
with little capital between N10,000 or less guaranteed!!!


Dear Friend,

Would you like me to show you an effective way to make money from the

 comfort of your home or offices via importation of Hot Good's? then Pay

close attention to this page because in the next few minutes, you'll discover

how to learn the best kept secret of successful importers... 

How you can easily import from China, Vietnam, Thailand, 

The Philippines and from all over the world completely risk free using

 either your Money or O.P.M ( other peoples' money)


I have been into importation business for over three years now and am doing pretty fine,
I started importation business with the sum of N15,000 and
 I have nurtured it to what I call medium scale cause I now import in large quantities
from my house without traveling to china or any part of the world.

Importing is the practice of having goods manufactured very cheaply in 
other countries according to specification and bringing them into your own country to
 sell at very high margins and profit.
It’s a very lucrative business to start and it has the ability to make you very rich quickly.
But There Is a Problem
It is a pretty hard to break into this business.
Why so?
Because. . .the people in this business DO NOT ever want others to join them.
Think about this. In fact, I challenge you to go out to any major market in your area 
(Alaba Market, Spare Parts Market, Aswani Market) or to any major importer’s
 office and ask them to let you in to their secrets, to tell you how to do it. Good luck with that.
It’d be easier to have a camel pass through the eye of a needle before
any one of them will
 ever teach you their secrets.
Why is this?
Simple. Nobody likes competition. In fact most business people will rather have
 their family and 
friends depend on them for scraps rather than show them how to fend for themselves.
Successful importers do not want others to know their secrets because importing
 is a very profitable business, in fact it’s ranked as the second most profitable
 after the oil business.
It’s almost like a secret ‘old boy’s’ club. Outsiders are not welcomed.
But I Have Decided To Reveal These:
Selected genuine websites/portals where you can order for goods, ranging from appliances and 
gadgets to clothing and women’s hair accessories, to smart phones, jewelries etc conveniently, 
in bulk and at rock-bottom funny prices?
How to Get access to a safe, secure mode of payment 
that is acceptable on these sites is a breeze?
How you can invest as little as N10,450 monthly and make as much as
 N250,000 to N400,000 naira 
monthly from this mini online importation business?
How you can even get most of these products brought to you, free of shipping costs - 
this secret of 100% free shipping will shock you big time?.
…and in the event you don’t know, getting a horde of ready-to-pay buyers is not 
a bother, as many of the products you will be importing are
 fast moving consumer hot in demand goods; products that
 people buy on daily basis.There are many ways you can start importing 
goods from china without needing to travel to china, all you need is a computer system
with internet access whether yours or 
from a cyber cafe it doesn’t matter all you need is a guide that will show you how 
and what to do, and am going to put you through the process of starting your
own importation business
There are several items you can buy if you are starting with N10,000 as a start-up fee. these
 includes.
  • Jewelry’s
  • Tablet Pc
  • Brazilian Hairs
  • Shoes
  • e.t.c
The items above are just few of the things you can buy i cant list all cause is in their millions 
and you 
can start buying them with N10,000 and resell them at a higher price, then order more 
and continue 
like that while your business grows up.
And the most interesting part of these is that you get those items far cheaper than it is 
sold here in Nigeria, 
for example everyone know how costly Brazilian hairs are in the market, here in
 Nigeria you can get
 original Brazilian hairs for not less than 30 to 40k but you will buying them from china for just 7k.

    Latest on Asuu: ASUU vows to continue strike, blames NUC boss for rot in Nigerian universities

    ASUU has been on strike for about 3 months.

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has blamed the rot in the Nigerian university system on the Executive Secretary of the National University Commission, Julius Okojie, saying his failure to insist on quality has bastardised Nigerian universities.

    The lecturers also vowed to continue their strike unless the federal government honours the 2009 agreement it had with the union.

    In a statement signed by its University of Ibadan branch chairman, Olusegun Ajiboye, ASUU renewed its call for the scraping or a total overhaul of the regulatory institution if the nation wishes to get it right in university education management.

    Howard Webb To Officiate Manchester Derby


    Howard Webb has been chosen to referee Sunday’s Manchester derby as City host Premier League champions United.

    The Yorkshire official, who took charge of both the World Cup final and the Champions League final in 2010, is yet to referee either side so far this season.

    He will be accompanied by regular assistants Mike Mullarkey and Darren Cann, who also ran the lines at both those showpieces three years ago.

    How To Make A First Class Or Distinction In School

    How To Make A First Class Or Distinction In School

    Every serious student that gains admission into tertiary institutions has the aim of graduating with a first class/distinction degree but the reality shows that the number of first class students in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions is on the decline. Nigeria Education Portal ® gives steps which if diligently followed will enable every student who aspires to make a first class in school to do so with ease.

    1) Get serious from the first day
    It is common for students to get carried away with the euphoria of gaining admission into higher institution that they forget the major reason why they are in school. It is essential to start building your grade point from the first day so as to avoid playing catch up afterwards.

    2) Attend Lectures
    While attending lectures may not be so important in your first year in school as most courses are what you must have already learnt previously in your secondary school and the large number of students in lecture rooms in your first year may not make attending lectures enticing however after your first year, attending lectures must be a priority, this is enable you mark attendance in class which may be the difference between an A or a B, pick salient points which the lecturer may mention in class and to pick instructions and tips which lecturers usually give in class.

    3) Understand your Lecturer(s)
    As all human beings differ in various characteristics so do your lecturers differ in the way they want things to be done. While some may prefer you to understand their notes only, others may prefer you to research more on your own after giving you notes, others may depend solely on past questions and so on. It is very essential to understand each lecturer who comes to lecture you. This might be done by seeking advice from students who have taken courses taught by the lecturer.

    4) Don’t build serious relationships with the opposite sex
    It is very essential to keep only platonic relationships with the opposite sex while in school. This might be very difficult especially if you are a pretty lady or a handsome guy but the truth is if you keep any serious relationships, it will eat out of your valuable time you would have spent studying.

    5) Learn to study
    This usually is the most difficult part of a student’s life as different distractions exist in the higher institution but unfortunately this is the most important step on your way to making a first class in school. While most students are fond of deceiving themselves by either sleeping and waking in the library without actually studying, it is very essential to give at least 2 quality hours studying every day.

    6) Rub mind with others
    No man is an island, no matter how hard you study you can never know it all, there will still be some few things which you still would not know but someone else’s could help you with and save you a lot of time trying to decipher how to go about the problem.

    7) Put God first
    Always remember that God is the owner of all knowledge and gives only to those who he wishes to. Learn to always put God first before every lecture, test or exam. He is the only one who can see you through.

    Man Finds A Crocodile Hidden Under His Bed

    It sounds like the stuff of nightmares - but Guy Whittall will certainly be checking for 'monsters' underneath his bed, after waking up to find an eight foot crocodile hiding just inches from where he slept.

    The 330lbs giant had sneaked into the Humani lodge, Zimbabwe and spent the entire night lying quietly, just fractions beneath an oblivious Mr Whittall.

    The beast - a Nile crocodile - had managed to stay hidden for more than eight hours overnight.



    The following morning Mr Whittall - a former Zimbabwean cricketer -  had even perched on the edge of his bed, with his feet dangling over the edge, just inches from the crocodile's face, as he organised his day

    It is hard to believe that when FC Barcelona host AFC Ajax in Wednesday's UEFA Champion League Group H curtain-raiser, it will be the first meeting between two clubs with a rich history in European competition.

    They have plenty of shared connections though, especially in the legendary figure of Johan Cruyff, who swapped Ajax for Barcelona in 1973 after claiming three straight European Champion Clubs' Cups during nine trophy-laden years in Amsterdam. He soon became the darling of the Camp Nou, hitting 48 goals in 143 games and helping the Blaugrana clinch their first Spanish title in 14 years in 1974.

    Chelsea begin a new Champions League adventure under Jose Mourinho on Wednesday when they welcome Swiss champions Basel to Stamford Bridge in Group E.

    The Blues, who have lost their last two matches in all competitions, struggled in the tournament last year as they failed to get past the
    group stage.

    However, there was eventual joy for the London club as they went on to win the Europa League after knocking out Basel in the semi-finals.

    Basel enjoyed relative success in the Champions League two years ago by reaching the quarter-finals before they were defeated by Bayern Munich.

    Oscar, Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres could all return for Chelsea following Saturday's 1-0 loss at Everton in the Premier League.

    The Gunners drew the short straw when the group stages were announced with Arsene Wenger's side drawn alongside Marseille, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund.

    Marseille, who did not feature in last year's competition, will enter the match full of confidence following a positive start to their league season, with 10 points from five games leaving them in fourth position in the table.

    These decisions were part of the resolutions of the Governor Rotimi Amaechi-led NGF, which met in Abuja on Tuesday evening.

    States which were represented by their governors at the meeting were those of Rivers, Niger, Kwara, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Adamawa, Oyo, Lagos, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kano and Zamfara while deputy governors of Edo, Borno and Nasarawa states represented their governors.

For this reason, graduates should arm themselves with the following observations – things I was forced to learn based on experience - to prevent disappointment:


    1. Getting a degree is a great achievement, but it is only the starting point. Professional qualifications, skills-enhancement training and certifications have made the labour market more competitive. The wise graduates will immediately find ways to enhance their profiles.

    Double blessing for Daniel Oikhena
    Before Governor Adams’ promise, another group that aided his release from SSS office, De Rauf from Osun State has offered to sponsor Daniel’s education till University level
    So with this new deal, the boy has two official sponsors.
    Hear what Governor Oshiomhole said in a Press briefing in Edo State yesterday;
    Without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there need to closely watch him which his parents could not do. “He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal”, Oshiomhole noted. “This incident was probably the kind of trigger that we needed to improve the facilities at our Airports. ……
    What a lucky boy! He has made history by force
    Congrats to star boy Daniel Oikhena.
