This sounds hilarious but a lecturer in one the Universities in the Southeast ‘transformed’ into Spiderman to attend to his students. The unnamed lecturer was spotted on Wednesday morning waling into his office in Spiderman costume. It was gathered that some non-teaching staff present when the incident happened, were stunned to see a man dressed in Spiderman costume walking into the office complex. As they greeted the lecturer and called him his name, he ignored every greeting, pretending not to know anyone since he was not ‘human’. He opened his door, walked in and sat down, waiting for students whom he had told to await the arrival of ‘Spiderman’ to assist them. It was gathered that the unnamed lecturer had told some students he was a strong member of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) currently on nationwide strike for the past one month. According to sources, some of his M.Sc. students wanted to see him to have a final discussion with him before their Dissertation d

The Nigerian government has extended the deadline on an ultimatum issued to striking university lecturers, asking them to go ‘Back to Class’ on December 4 or face being sacked.

The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Julius Okogie, told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday that the ultimatum had been shifted to enable the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) carry out the burial ceremony of Professor Festus Iyayi, a former leader of the union who died in the line of duty. In a bid to lay to rest the issue of non-victimisation that the striking lecturers had stressed in a letter to the government before the ultimatum was issued, the NUC boss stated that all lecturers, who would resume duties and ready to work on December 9 would be

Reasons why the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming general election, Atiku Abubakar , did not travel to the United States of America have been revealed. Sources within Atiku’s camp said although the PDP’s presidential candidate has been issued a visa, his inability to head to the US followed the launching of his campaign. According to a source, Atiku could not afford to miss the launch of the opposition party’s campaign which is scheduled to take place on Monday, December 3, Vanguard reports. “He will certainly travel to the US but the campaign cannot kick off in his absence. That would be ridiculous,” the source said. Other sources said the PDP’s flag bearer aborted his US trip because he needs assurances that he would not be embarrassed over allegations is of corruption for which Congressman William Jefferson and Siemens have been convicted.

The Federal Government has withdrawn the recent threat to activate the ‘no work no pay policy’ against striking University teachers. This was disclosed by the National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, in a chat with Vanguard. Ogunyemi also said that the negotiation meeting between ASUU and the Federal Government would continue on Monday, stressing that what the union was doing was to rescue the education sector from imminent collapse and to ensure that the children of the poor get access to quality and affordable education. The ASUU boss also said that last Friday’s meeting between the two parties did not yield much results. He said: “well, we have confirmed that they have withdrawn that threat (no work no pay). So it appears the threat is not there for now. But even if the threat is there, we are prepared for that because for our members, no sacrifice is too much to salvage Nigeria’s education.

ASUU Gives Reason for Rejecting Babalakin, Says Strike Continues The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the ongoing strike by the union will continue until the federal government resolve all the issues in contention. It also said it has rejected Babalakin who led the FG negotiation team. This stance is coming as the Union maintained that the first meeting held with the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige has yet to go into substantive issues which led to the strike. While speaking to newsmen after the Congress of the Union, chairman ASUU, University of Ibadan, Dr Deji Omole said ASUU members will not allow the ruling elite to destroy the heritage of the poor which is qualitative public varsity education. According to Omole, Wale Babalakin who is the leader of Federal Government team is being rejected by the Union because he is an interested party pursuing a private university license and will do everything to jeopardize public education funding.

On the readiness of the lecturers to call off the strike if tomorrow’s meeting swings in their favour, he said “after the meeting, we will tell members the outcome. They are the only ones who can decide to call off the strike.” The official also said he is not concerned about the formation of a parallel union by some aggrieved lecturers, ”who have kept on teaching regardless of the

Nigerian singer turned politician, Banky W whose love for his wife, Adesua Etomi is shown in every little way, is ‘outchea’ gushing over his wife. Banky W who described Adesua as one thing he got absolutely right amongst so many wrongs, was reacting to his wife’s speech just before he announced his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives. Adesua Etomi had written; Part 1 of 2 Baby, I will speak for you anywhere because I know you and I know that I speak the truth. I see the things you do, more than anyone else in this world. May all the good you do in secret, speak for you as well. Nigerians have been through a lot. We’ve had a lot of people say things and let us down. Please, don’t be offended by those that are sceptical, they speak from experience, they’ve been burnt, they are tired but there is hope because I know you’re different. Different, not perfect. Remember that trust is earned, it will not be served on a platter and while you go through fire, stay

The  Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), says it is ready to negotiate with government toward ending its one-week old industrial action. Its President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, who was guest on TVC News Breakfast show on Tuesday, also advised government to establish an education bank for proper funding of universities. He regretted the attitude of government to the university lecturers’ demands, saying that letters notifying government of the strike, which were submitted to the education and labour ministries on Nov. 5, had not been replied. “We wrote to inform the ministries that we had resumed our strike. We told them that we had resumed the strike we suspended in Sept. 2017 because government failed to implement agreements we signed. “The ministries signed to acknowledge receipt of the copies we gave them, but none has written a reply to us,” he said. He accused the political class of strangling primary and secondary education in Nigeria, saying that 24 states had failed to

 The  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says the process for the extradition of Deziani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum, from the UK has begun. Tony Orilade, acting spokesman of the commission, disclosed this in an interview with NAN on Sunday in Abuja. Orilade said the EFCC’s operations department has made a presentation to the legal department to commence the process, and that it has commenced. He, however, said the action had to be processed through the office of the attorney-general of the federation, explaining that it was not something the commission would commence and conclude on its own. “It is ongoing. Within the next few weeks, the extent to which we have gone will be made known to the public,” the spokesman said. “It is not a fresh case; it is not a fresh petition that is just being looked into; the whole process is a total package. “This extradition is just an aspect of Deziani’s investigation and commencement of trial.” In 2017, a federal high co

University of Ibadan Academic activities were yesterday grounded at the University of Ibadan (UI) following the strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). While lecturers stayed away from classes, students were seen loitering around their hall of residences and classrooms. Some students said they were confused whether to vacate the campus and go back to their parents since they did not know how long the strike would last. When The Guardian went round some faculties like Arts, Education, Agriculture and the Social Sciences, lecture rooms were put under lock and key. ASUU UI Chairman, Dr. Deji Omole, while addressing the congress of the union, asked members to fight for the future of the Nigerian child being deliberately sidelined by the government. He, therefore, inaugurated a strike monitoring committee headed by Prof. Gbenga Olujide. Meanwhile, some non-teaching members of staff stayed away from work despite the suspension of strike

1. Do not use your date of birth as password: Seriously? Those who are tech oriented will understand your password is a unique value, same as your date of birth. You should hence never use the same value for both. Moreover, this makes it very easy for end-time hackers to get access to your accounts. 0298 obviously tells a smart mind you are born February 1998 and also 301282 easily tells you are born on the 30th December, 1982. Be warned! Don’t substitute dad of birth as online passwords neither should you as ATM passwords. 2. Do not use default/ easy codes as passwords: still on laziness, save those with medical condition, why should you use ‘0000’, ‘1234’ et al as passwords? Even hose with medical conditions should rather have a diary for all their passwords. 3. Don’t save passwords on phones: There are viral programs who does nothing but collect user data in form of contacts, notes etc. Do not make the mistake of saving important passwords on your phone.
