UNIVERSITY OF PORT-HARCOURT Matriculates 8,248 New Students For 2016/2017 Academic Session

2017-05-03T04:40:00.000-07:00

The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) held her 38th Matriculation ceremony on May Thursday 27th, 2017 at the Convocation Arena, University Park and it was recorded that 8,248 fresh students took an oath of the institution.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ndowa Lale, in his speech, congratulated the new students for successfully scaling through the stringent admission criteria specified by the Senate of the University, charging them to justify their selection amongst thousands of applicants who were not so lucky to secure admission into the University.

He also charged them to justify the investment of their parents and guardians in their education by taking their studies very seriously if they hoped to make a success of the rare opportunity.

“We are matriculating you at a time the University of Port Harcourt is repositioning itself as a globally relevant and locally competitive institution. It is, therefore, important for you to note that the first reason you have been sent here by your parents and guardians is to study. The second reason is to study and the third reason is to study very hard; everything else you do in this University is merely an appendage of your dedication to a culture of academic excellence and refined conduct”, he said.

“There will be no room for intellectual pedestrians or loafers on this campus when the time of reckoning comes, as it must,” he further warned them.

The Vice-Chancellor said that Management would not tolerate a situation in which students refuse to pay their charges in the false belief that they could go to school on credit.

“You must pay your charges in subsequent years until your graduation. Be warned that any year you fail to pay your charges; we will put your status as a student on hold. You will be subsequently deregistered from the University if we establish that you have stopped to meet your statutory financial obligations to the University as and when due.”

A breakdown of the 8,248 students showed that the Faculty of Humanities admitted 1,275; Faculty of Social Sciences 889; Faculty of Science 1,836; Faculty of Education 1,107; Faculty of Engineering 581; Faculty of Management Sciences 1,098; Faculty of Agriculture 422; Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences 192; School of Science Laboratory Technology 470; while the College of Health Sciences took in 378 students.

They gave us N 2,500 to bomb Yola Barracks arrested kids confesses

2015-07-10T20:49:00.000-07:00

Four children have revealed how they were paid 2,500 each for bomb attack on Thursday in Yola.

Punch gathered that the bomb, which occurred on Thursday close to a mechanic workshop along Numan Road, was in possession of four children. The children told the police that an unknown man gave them N2, 500 to carry out the attack. It was gathered that the Boko Haram insurgent instructed them to drop the explosive at a specific place in Bachure suburb, near the Army Barracks mainly inhabited by retired military personnel.
A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said two of the kid messengers who were arrested by the police told interrogators that “an unknown person gave us N2,500 to drop the explosive at the barracks.”

The boys were aged between nine and 15 years. The two arrested boys said the bag containing the explosive was too heavy for them to carry, so they had to sell it to a dustbin scavenger, whom they ran into at the nearby mechanic workshop.The dustbin scavenger, said to have been arrested, has been helping the police in their investigation.
He told the police that while they were negotiating with the four bearers of the container, he started noticing smoke coming from it and before he could inquire about its content, it exploded, shattering his legs and injuring two of the children.

While two of them fled, the other injured two were arrested by the police. The police source also revealed that in the ensuing confusion that followed the loud bang from the blast, two of the bearers sneaked away from the scene of the blast.

The Koko Master and DB records Boss, D’Banj is gradually becoming an unshakable entertainer both within and outside the country as he keeps the African love at heart wherever he goes to. Despite his recent widely speculated debt crisis, the rumour has not deterred the singer from doing what he knows how to do best and his continuous agricultural campaign for Africa.
D’Banj who recently featured in the remix of ‘Double Wahala’ by Oritse Femi, is warming up as he sets to release his new single within couple of some hours which fans have been anticipating for long.
The singer has been moving from one place to another all in a bid to make the ministry of entertainment grow and to help propagate the essence of self development around the world.

While fans await the release of his song, they got shocked when they saw the singer with some policemen guarding him but never disclosed where he was being taken to. Don’t think too much, nothing serious as the entertainer is being guarded on his way to entertain

Photo: ‘Uganda’s Ugliest Man’ welcomes his eight child

2015-06-25T00:11:00.002-07:00

A man crowned the ugliest man in Uganda has become a dad for the EIGHTH time. Godfrey Baguma, known as Sebabi – which means ‘ugliest of them all’ – suffers from a rare medical condition giving him his distinctive looks.

The 47-year-old married his second wife Kate Namanda, 30, in 2013.

Since then the couple have had six kids – two of Sebabi’s nippers come from his first marriage which
broke up some years ago.

Speaking to KFM, he said:

“I caught her cheating with another man and I assured her our relationship was over. She liked me because of my money, but people kept telling her that she could do better, so she started eloping with another man.”

Sebabi then met Namanda, who was 18 at the time, through his aunt who played go between. He said:

“I stayed with her four years before her people knew where she was. I didn’t want them to see me until we had a child because they would definitely advise her to leave me. She left me when she was six months pregnant but I think she later accepted her fate because she came back two months later.
I told her that I didn’t choose to look the way I do and that if she feels I am a burden, she is free to live me.

But she chose to stay and in 2013 they held a wedding ceremony that put his hometown Kyazanga, in the Lwengo District of Uganda, at a standstill. Guests at the wedding had to pay 4,000 Ugandan shillings (about 70p) to attend the reception and see the woman Sebabi married, MirrorUK reports.

Sebabi is a former cobbler who now uses his unique features to earn a living. He appears at events as Uganda’s Ugliest Man just for people to see him, but he took it a step further by launching a singing career.

He says he doesn’t want to go on stage for people to just stare at

Frat Stories “We are coming back to kill more people” – cultist who drowned friend says.

2015-06-24T23:45:00.001-07:00

Anu Olokodana, a suspected cultist. who is wanted by the police in Lagos for allegedly killing his friend, Adeleke Awosiga, has reportedly threatened to unleash terror on residents of his area, Punch reports.

They had reported on Tuesday that Olokodana, said to be a member of the Buccaneers Confraternity, drowned a childhood friend, Awosiga, in a swimming pool at the Royal Hotel in the Isheri, Ojodu Berger area of Lagos during a birthday party.

It was reported that the cause of the killing, which took place on Saturday, June 13, was because Awosiga, 20, refused to join the cult group.

It was learnt that Olokodana, who was still in hiding with members of his cult group, had made calls to some residents, threatening to mobilise his cult group to kill more people.

A resident, who gave his name only as Rashidi, told our correspondent that Olokodana called, saying his gang was not afraid of the police. He was quoted to have said the cult members were planning to come back for residents who narrated Awosiga’s killing to the press.

He was quoted as saying, “We are not a cult group that fights and cannot come back. We are coming back to kill more people. You have the guts to go and put me on the newspaper.”

It was learnt that the two cult members, who were arrested by the police the day after Awosiga’s killing, had come to spy on the area when they were apprehended by residents.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Awosiga was the third person in the area who the cultists would kill in recent times for refusing to join their group.

He said, “The second day after the man was killed was a Sunday. In the afternoon, we saw two young men entering a church near Awosiga’s family house. They were dressed in Yellow shirts and caps. They were caught eavesdropping on people’s conversations.

“When we challenged them, they attempted to run away, but the residents rounded them up and took them to the Mowe Police Station.

“The cult group’s threats are very real. Awosiga is the third person they would kill in the Mowe area for refusing to join their group. They have hideouts in the Lotto area, and they boasted that even the police could not arrest them. The birthday party that Olokodana held was actually their yearly anniversary and they must kill someone at the party to mark the event.”

At the Awosiga’s family house, the deceased’s mother, Ololade, told our correspondent that her son was not a violent child, adding that the police should investigate the matter, and bring the culprits to book.

She said, “He is my second son. After he finished secondary school, he learnt how to lay tiles so he could work and save money to gain admission for further studies. He and his boss were going to several places to work in Ogun and Lagos states.

“He was not a violent boy. I cannot express my sorrow. I lost his father about 10 years ago. My children have been my succour. I want the police to fish out his killers.

Delta Hospital refuses to release 6 copses over N13.5m mortuary debt

2015-06-24T23:42:00.002-07:00

A private hospital in Delta State has seized six copses over N13.5 million mortuary debt.

The undisclosed hospital, which is located in Oleh, headquarters of Isoko Local Government, refused to release the deceased because of the accrued debt – since 2002.

The six persons died in the 2002 Irri inter-communal crisis. While the remains of five others who died in the same crisis were buried on Wednesday, June 24, the six deceased remain in the morgue.

Speaking on the matter, chairman of Irri Development Union,Goddey Igorigo, said the hospital management instituted a lawsuit against the community asking for the payment N13.5 million deby.

He said: “We are supposed to have also buried all of them today but because we do not have money, the management of the hospital took us to court to pay the sum of N13.5 million and also demanded for the payment of N1 million damages to them.

“The matter is in court as we speak now but with the judgement so far passed, the court asked the management of the hospital to reduce the bill. So we are begging the local government, state and federal governments to come to the aid of Irri to settle the bill so that we can bury the remaining bodies of the victims of the crisis.”

He blamed the crisis on power tussle and the divide and rule tactics of an oil company operating in the area, Igorigo advised the people of the community to keep away from anything that could lead to a recurrence of crisis in the community.

Commercial activities were brought to a halt at Irri in honour of the deceased as indigenes of the community who were clad in black attires wept uncontrollably.

Boko Haram Terrorists kill 5 in Niger

Boko Haram terrorists have killed 5 people in a community in Southern Niger, reports say.

The insurgents were said to have arrived the town on motorbikes and horseback on Wednesday, June 24, 2015.

“Boko Haram attacked overnight on 23 June the village of Yebi, near Bosso. The terrorists came on horseback and motorbikes and killed at least five villagers,” a source told Reuters.

Another source confirmed the attack saying that the terrorists had later set fire to the village.

This comes barely a week after Boko Haram members killed 38 people near Niger’s border with Nigeria, where the group operates from.

Niger has suffered attacks from the group due to its expansive border with Nigeria and its participation in a joint multinational force against the sect.
