Some political thugs have been apprehended in Akwa Ibom state while allegedly attempt to snatch ballot boxes and electoral materials during the ongoing governorship and House of Assembly elections.

The suspects were nabbed and overpowered by youths at the rack centre in Ward 2, Ibiono Ibom local government area.

They were beaten to pulp by the youths after being caught as they revealed a politician/senator as their sponsor.

The suspects were later handed over to the security operatives at the polling unit.

Senator elect, Orji Uzor Kalu, has showed off his 4,969 hectare of farm in Abia State. The former governor of Abia State shared pictures of the farm on his social media account.


According to him the farm was started in 1998 and half of it is dedicated to Cassava farm.

“A visit to my farm after the day's campaign, a 4,969 hectare owned by me since1998 with over 2,500 hectares dedicated to Cassava planting. Our last harvest crashed the price from N1800 to N850 per-ton. Our 2017 oilpalm is also ready for harvest & we've planted more.”


Orji Uzor Kalu was recently elected as senator to represent Abia North Senatorial District in the next 9th National Assembly. He was elected under the platform of APC.

There’s a certain allure that accompanies being one of the best graduating students in any educational institution for that matter, not to mention one as prestigious as the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Boston, U.S.A.

Finishing at the top end of your class from such an institution, to a reasonable extent, would imply that you get to wear the “Hot Prospect” label and enjoy the rare privilege of having your pick of six-figure job offers from top firms who would be tripping over themselves to have you put pen to paper. And that’s just for starters.

Well, that was pretty much the case for Nigerian techie, Obinna Ukwuani, who may have left everyone in shock when he opted to toe an entirely different line.

By turning his back on the lure of a fat paycheck that could well build a comfortable life to pursue a deep-seated passion that could have just as easily proved a fiasco in the end, he exhibited quite the courage.

Obinna Ukwuani is on a path to building Africa’s first STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) campus in Nigeria – a project that was borne out of the need to level the playing field and bridge the learning gap between young African students and their counterparts in the developed world.

The seed for the project was sowed some years ago, when Obinna was only a boy. Having lived most of his life in Washington D.C. where his parents had relocated the family to when he could barely form words, his folks thought it important that he paid a visit to his home country, Nigeria, to get a feel of his roots.

That meant Obinna returned to Nigeria where he completed both 8th and 9th Grades. The experience was an eye-opener for him in many ways, but none more so than the realisation of the problems bedevilling the school system in his homeland.

“I met up with my peers, the friends and classmates I’d met during my time there and it was shocking to see how far behind me they were. It was a very real experience for me,” says Obinna.

Most kids would simply revel in the knowledge that they had the edge over their school mates, but Obinna knew better. It was clear to him studying in the United States had given him an advantage and just about anyone could be just as good if they had the opportunities he’s had.

Rather than taking pleasure in the satisfaction that besting everyone else should normally bring, he felt sick to his stomach. To him, it was an “injustice.”

He returned to the United States with a hole in his heart; one he knew would not be filled until someone did something about the disparity. At the time, it didn’t occur to him that that “someone’ might as well be himself.

Back in the States, Obinna Ukwuani blitzed his way through high school, and his stellar academic was to earn him a place at MIT back in 2008.

All that time, he worried about students like him back home who would be hampered from going anywhere near their full potential due to the flaws in the system, and it wasn’t until freshman year that he realized he could just as well be the one to effect change.


And that realisation eventually morphed into organized action. In October 2011, he launched Exposure Robotics Academy – one of Nigeria’s first high-profile STEM education programmes – in Lagos.

It was designed as a five-week residential program aimed at teaching creative problem solving, engineering principles, and programming to high school students during the summer.

Within three years, the academy coached up to 113 students from 17 states across Nigeria and Ghana on how to code and build robots, some of whom have since gained scholarships into American universities and are just as determined to further the teaching of STEM back home.

With Obinna overseeing the programme, and Shell Oil as its sponsor, a number of MIT students were also jetted off to Nigeria where they taught and mentored high school students.

Interestingly, the programme was also recognised at the Roxbury International Film Festival. Naija Beta; a documentary based on the program, took home the award for “Best Documentary Film.”

But the Nigerian techie seems to be far from done and is spoiling for more. After putting in some relentless work towards putting together a business plan and trying to sell it to potential investors for several months, it does look like he’s making some headway.

In January 2018, he partnered with the Bank of Kigali to launch Makers Robotics Academy Rwanda; the first-ever robotics Bootcamp in the country. The programme hosted 40 Rwandan high school students on an intensive three-week course facilitated by MIT students.


The Nigerian tech entrepreneur has also gone on to set up NESA by Makers; a brick-and-mortar new economy skills accelerator based in Lagos, Nigeria. It rolled out its first course; full-stack web development, in June 2017.



NESA by Makers aims to provide a learning environment that inspires trainers, as well as a rigorous curriculum that would transform students from novice coders to employable junior web developers within three months.

Through such initiatives, the Nigerian entrepreneur hopes to build capacity in young Africans which would bring about the unlocking of potential and the discovery of genius innovations that would put the continent on the technology map.

Obinna is determined to change the perception of Africa as a mere consumer of technology by helping to equip young creators with the tools with which they can develop novel technological solutions to some of society’s most-pressing problems.

Babcock University performs knee replacement surgery on 70-year-old.

Babcock University Teaching Hospital says it has successfully carried out a complex total knee replacement surgery on an elderly male patient.
This was contained in a statement by Joshua Suleiman, Director, Marketing and Communication, Babcock University.

The patient, aged 70, and who requested anonymity, was said to have had features of bilateral severe osteoarthritis and a previous history of right patellectomy.

Dr. Kelechukwu Onuoha, Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon, who supervised the surgery, said he had evaluated the patient for a right complex posterior stabilising Total Knee Replacement.

According to him, the surgery was carried out on February 11 under the combined spinal/epidural anaesthesia, and it lasted not less than three hours.
Onuoha said the implant instruments and power tools for the surgery were supplied by Zimmer Biomet, an American company with regional headquarters in South Africa.

He said: “The next plan is for the patient to go for rehabilitation for a period of two to three months and return for the second surgery on the left knee.
“‘’The patient, who had a smooth post-operative recovery and rehabilitation was discharged after five days.

“The patient is also doing very well and can now live a normal life and walk straight.”

On the risks associated with the surgery, the surgeon noted that the patient’s age, body size and blood pressure level were of concern to the medical team.
However, there were no complications throughout the duration of the operation.

There's this guy who has been my friend for a long time. He asked me out recently. He has very good qualities.

The issue is, he lacks confidence whenever he's talking to me thereby making him boring.
I'm thinking of turning down his request because I can't imagine myself living a boring life or are there ways I can help him improve on that?

Thanks

Nigerian billionaire businessman, Prince Engr. Arthur Eze has recently made fitness his priority as he was recently spotted at a popular exquisite gym center in Awka, Anambra state.

The wealthy philanthropist came in there unannounced and registered for gym sessions at the facility.

He said many should not be surprised, that at his age, keeping fit is a priority to be able to keep up with his demanding engagements and that he picked X-fit gym center due to them being the only gym with state of the art gym facilities and the exclusiveness of the facility.

In a viral video posted online, the business mogul gave the staff of the gym N1million naira for breakfast on his way out as he said they should eat well so they can be able to face their day's activities properly.

N1m for breakfast sounds like a very hefty breakfast that will cause katakata soon (will Okon who did not come to work that day also partake in the breakfast?)

If all those candidates that contested for president focused on the senate, we would have had the opportunity to elect credible people to serve as a check to the excesses of the executive arm of government. But in our usual pursuit for the biggest price, we have allowed numerous crooks in he likes of orji uzor kalu, Theodore orji, chimaroke nnamani and co to sneak into the senate. It will be an interesting 4 years for Nigerians. We thought the last 4 years were tough

Traveling through the western states in Nigeria you might decide to pay a visit to Idanre town, a serene town hovering with mind-wrenching mountian as high as 3000ft tall. The town is reputably known for it’s tentative UNESCO world heritage site, the famous ‘ Idanre Hills’ which is unarguably one of the most visited tourist attraction in the country.


Idanre Hills fondly called Oke Idanre is a beautiful landscape that sits at the top of a hill in Idanre town, Ondo state Nigeria. It is significantly known for the remains of the ancient settlement that existed with clear evidence of inhabitants on it’s summit. The hill which also serve as a resort is known for it’s majestic view and the mysterious stories of chiefs and warlords that comes with it’s storytelling.

When most attack the efforts of the church they do so in ignorance! The Church remains the most potent Non government movement that has impacted positively on both education and healthcare from the very first times missionaries set foot in Africa. Today 70% of Congo's entire secondary schools are catholic while a significant portion of Nigeria's public secondary schools where initially established by white missionaries.

Faith Academy schools are spread across Nigeria. The living faith Church hopes to own about 700 of these secondary schools across Africa in addition to 5000 primary schools. The FA schools are all managed by the Education commission of Living Faith Church headed by Professor Bridget Sokan. The Education Commission of the Church Operates from the 4th floor of Covenant University Senate building.

In attestation of the quality of Church high schools the last highest jamb scorer for 2018 was a product of Faith Academy Ota with 364. Apart from this thousands of teachers are needed to service these schools creating massive employment.

By 2032 the LFC church total secondary schools would equal that of Oyo and its primary schools would equal that of the entire south west states in Nigeria.

When you read this know full well that these schools just represent a minute portion of the total christian effort in education.

I need advice on travelling to Australia. What's the possibility of getting any job over there. I have Bachelor of Engineering degree. Can 4.5 Million facilitate my travel expenses and a modest accommodation over there before getting a job.
I want to leave asap.
Advice from travel agents will be appreciated.
I have Australia in mind but can change my decision if I'm convinced with your advice.
How long will it take me to get Australia visa?
I can't stay in this country any more.
Thanks and God bless you as you respond.

Your Nigerian engineering degree will not get you an engineering job in Australia
You will have to go back to school when you get there.
N4.5m is AUD17K. That will be gone in 3mo when you factor in air tickets, visa, initial accommodation and feeding.
I'd start with getting admission into a school there before jetting out.
Get into a profession that is sort after in Australia
Do your homework before you leave
Spend less time on Nairaland and more time researching Australia and everything you can about the country
That way, when you get there, you hit the ground running.
Avoid travel agents unless you have $$$ to lose. Everything you need is available online if you use your senses well and be skeptical of deals that sound too good to be true.
If you can withstand the cold, Canada is a better option.
