Flashh:
Only gold-diggers and runz girls go into relationship with the mentality that it's a guy's duty to spend on her.

So I think you are referring to "runz girls" in your post, not a real woman who knows she can live her life without depending on a man financially in a relationship.

You didn't tell us where it is written in the bible that a man should be responsible for the bills of a woman he hasn't gotten married to.

Relationship isn't something you buy with money by spending for a girl/lady. So get that!
u nailed it bro..pls keep tellin dem...em gold diggers...

Politics / Radio Biafra Back On Air. by tobybodunde: 12:24pm On Aug 23, 2015
Controversial pirate channel, Radio Biafra, has again resumed transmission,
despite the Federal Government’s claim that it had jammed the station’s
signals.
The Federal Government had on July 14 announced that it jammed the
transmission signals of the radio station, which was operating illegally from an
unknown location.
Our correspondent observed that the channel had not been transmitting on
the FM 104.7 band, on which its signals was received in Enugu, since July.
However, it was observed on Saturday that the station, which was monitored
from 8pm to 9pm, had resumed transmission on the same 104.7 FM band,
from which it transmitted before it went off air.
Listeners were invited to call in from various parts of the South-East, and from
outside the country.
The station was still transmitting as of the time of filing this report.
The broadcast addressed the most current issues in the country, an indication
that the channel was still on air. http://www.punchng.com/politics/radio-biafra/

Education / Protests Greet Tuition Hike In Babcock Varsity by tobybodunde: 4:17am On Aug 20, 2015
More protests and indignation have continued to trail the decision of the
Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, to increase its tuition.
Citing harsh economic realities, authorities at the university had, at a meeting
held with representatives of parents and students’ bodies on Monday,
announced a new tuition regime for fresh and returning students for the
2015/2016 academic session.
It was gathered that while Law students who were paying N870,000 (with
two meals a day), have now been mandated to pay N1.5m; medical students
who were paying N2m per session, now have to pay N3m.
It was also gathered that components of the school fees included
accommodation, tuition, feeding and other sundry charges.
However, students and parents have greeted the news with objections and
disapprovals on the social media.
A stakeholder, who attended the meeting, told our correspondent on the
condition of anonymity that what the university proposed as tuition was higher
than what was released.
While lamenting the plight of some parents, whom the source said were from
states that have not paid salaries in months, the source also alleged that
majority of the beneficiaries of the funds instituted by the Association of
Babcock Students Union were members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Babcock University is owned by the church.
“We understand that the economy is bad. But there are states where salaries
have not been paid for months. Majority of the students who applied for the
funds instituted to support indigent students who cannot complete their tuitions
were members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The school ended the
third week of April and now we have this last minute announcement,” said the
source.
A parent, Mrs. Toun Aderele, whose daughter is a Law student, also decried
the timing of the announcement. She asked the school to reverse the decision.
“My daughter is studying Law at the university and I paid N870,000 last
session. We opted for two meals per day plan because she was always
having early morning lectures. The previous information was that the fees
have been increased to N917,000. But as at yesterday, (Tuesday), we
understood that there was a meeting where the fees have been increased to
N1.5m, less than two weeks before resumption. We are not in support and
the students are counting on us because they are handicapped, ’’ she said.
However, in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Wednesday, the
university’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Mr. Joshua Sulaiman,
told our correspondent that the decision to review tuition was done with input
from representatives of the university’s students and parents.
He added that authorities at the institution were left with no option but to
increase the tuition following the harsh operating environment in the country.
“For five years, the university had not increased tuition in any way. This is the
first time we are making some adjustments. Just look at the economic reality in
our country. The cost of services is going up. Some months ago, a dollar
exchanged for N197, the unofficial rate right now is N220. I don’t even know
which bank will sell dollars or pounds to you right now. That is why the
Federal Government summoned the Central Bank of Nigerian over the
inflationary trend. The Federal Government is also battling with it, ’’ he said.
Sulaiman also denounced protesting parents and students, hinting that they
might not be genuine stakeholders in the university’s affairs.
“In a twist however, executives of the Parents Consultative Forum and the
Association of the Babcock Student Union, have dissociated themselves from
the outcome of the meeting.
While the Treasurer of the PCF, Mr. Sunday Adedokun, who was said to be
at the meeting, told our correspondent that he was not in a position to
comment on the issue.
Another member who attended the meeting, Dr. Abiodun Osiyemi, told our
correspondent on the telephone that attendees were not aware of the
agendum until they got to the meeting.
“I want you to have it on record that we are not the university. The Parents’
Council is not responsible for the fixing and determining of tuition. We were
only informed of what they wanted to do. To say there was no resolution will
be wrong, but to say that parents and students went to fix a fee will not be
right. They had a plan, and when we got there we got to know what it was
all about. Yes, they did invite us and we have no right to say they should not
do what they wanted to do, ’’ he said.
Meanwhile, the President, ABSU, Kako Mavalla, has urged students to
maintain a peaceful protest. “Everybody knows the economy is bad. We are
doing our best to represent the interest of the students. We should remain
civilised. I encourage them to express their feelings in a matured manner,” he
said. http://www.punchng.com/news/protests-greet-tuition-hike-in-babcock-varsity/

Politics / APC Says Jonathans Government Looted 11trn Naira. PDP Kicks Back. by tobybodunde: 8:08am On Aug 17, 2015
THE
All
Progressives
Congress
on
Sunday
alleged
that
about
$56bn
(N11.02tn)
was looted during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan
and that the Buhari government needed to recover the funds to fulfill the
change promised by the APC.
In the breakdown by the ruling party, it said $6bn (1.2tn, at the rate of
N197 to dollar) was stolen by some of Jonathan’s ministers and that 160
million barrels of crude worth $13.9bn (N2.74tn) were lost between 2009
and 2012 while $13bn (N2.56tn) in NLNG dividends was mostly
unaccounted for.
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this
in a statement on Sunday.
Mohammed’s statement read in part, “Some instances of the looting are as
follows: N3.8tn out of the N8.1tn earned from crude oil (2012-2015)
withheld by NNPC; $2.1bn (N413.7bn) from Excess Crude Account
unaccounted for; Department of Petroleum Resources’ unremitted N109.7bn
royalty from oil firms.
“Others are: $6bn (1.2tn) allegedly looted by some ministers of the last
administration; 160 million barrels of crude worth $13.9bn (N2.74tn) lost
between 2009 and 2012; $15m (N2.96bn) from the botched arms deal yet
to be returned to Nigeria; $13bn (N2.56tn) in NLNG dividends mostly
unaccounted for; N30bn rice waiver; and N183bn unaccounted for at the
NDDC.”
The APC consequently lashed out at those telling President Muhammadu
Buhari not to waste time probing the Jonathan administration.
The statement seems to be in reaction to a statement by the National Peace
Committee, which reportedly told Buhari that probing the past administration
was not a substitute for governance.
The APC, however, said there was no way the Buhari government could
effectively take off if it did not recover some of the trillions stolen under
Jonathan and that the party’s promise of change was based on the
assumption that it would recover some stolen funds.
The statement added, “It is absolutely gratifying that Nigerians are vehemently
opposed to the few who would rather have the government of the day turn a
blind eye to the looted funds and, in their words, carry on with the process of
governance.
“Truly, what sort of governance can go on if the billions of naira in a few
hands are not recovered? In the first instance, the government needs every
kobo of the funds it can muster to bring about the change it has promised
Nigerians.
“Secondly, leaving such hair-raising funds in the hands of the few looters is
dangerous, because they can use the funds to destabilise any government. In
fact, no one will be surprised if the looters use their dirty funds to sponsor
public demonstrations against the government’s determination to recover the
funds.
‘’Thirdly, allowing those who privatised the commonwealth to get away is
offering a thumbs-up for looting. No responsible government will do that.”
The party said that those who stole had embarked on an increasingly-bold
campaign to discredit the government of the day and sabotage the funds’
recovery process, using newspaper columnists, ‘talking heads’ and otherwise
respectable opinion leaders.
The APC submitted that it was necessary to remind Nigerians of the “massive
looting of the treasury” that took place in the past few years, so the citizens
could better appreciate the seriousness of the issue at stake.
The party said the listed “missing” funds constituted just a tip of the iceberg,
adding, ‘’The level of looting that went on in other sectors is better imagined,
hence the need for all Nigerians to rally around the Buhari administration to
recover the loots, bring the looters to justice and to put in place measures to
prevent such looting in the future.”
But the Peoples Democratic Party, in its reaction on Sunday, said the figures
released by the APC were imaginary.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement,
described Mohammed’s statement as “reckless, irresponsible and highly
provocative.”
Metuh said, “In trying to escalate their stock-in-trade of lies, wild allegations
and falsehood, the APC failed to understand that their baseless fabrications
are capable of throwing an unsuspecting nation into chaos.
“The spate of fabrications by Lai Mohammed has become a sickening source
of worry for well-meaning Nigerians, including those in his party.”
The PDP spokesperson called on Buhari and the APC, as a party, to call
their spokesman to order before he plunges the country into crisis with wild
and unsubstantiated claims.
He said the APC-led government should get serious with the fight against
corruption by investigating and prosecuting corrupt persons, rather than
unnecessarily playing to the gallery. http://www.punchng.com/news/apc-says-jonathans-govt-looted-n11tn-pdp-kicks/
Politics / Borno State Deputy Governor Is Dead! by tobybodunde: 2:16pm On Aug 15, 2015
Deputy Governor of Borno State, Zannah Umar Mustapha, has died in Yola,
the Adamawa State capital.
Though no ailment was reported, the state government, which expressed
“shock and disbelief” at the deputy governor’s death, said Mustapha was in
Yola to represent the state government at the convocation of the Modibbo
Adama University of Science and Technology, Yola.
A statement by the Secretary to the Borno State Government, Alhaji Usman
Shuwa, on Saturday, added that the deceased was also scheduled to visit
Borno State indigenes, who are quartered in the Internally Displaced Persons
camps in Yola.
The statement by Shuwa read, “It is with deep sense of utter shock and
disbelief but with complete submission to the will of the Almighty Allah that the

Excellency, Alhaji Zannah Umar Mustapha, the Deputy Governor of Borno
State.
“He died in his sleep this morning(Saturday) in Yola, Adamawa State, where
he was to represent Borno State Government at the convocation ceremony of
Modibbo Adama University of Science and Technology, Yola.
“He was also scheduled to follow up on his earlier visit to Yola, in connection
with the welfare of Borno State citizens internally displaced as a result of the
Boko Haram insurgency.
“His is remains would be brought to Maiduguri for funeral at the Government
House, Maiduguri at 4pm today, Saturday, August 15, 2015. He will be
buried in Maiduguri.
“His Excellency, Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno State, expresses his
heartfelt condolence to the family of the deputy governor and the entire
people of Borno State for the irreparable loss and appealed for prayers for
the repose of the soul of our late deputy governor.” http://www.punchng.com/news/borno-loses-deputy-gov/

Culture / OONI-- Seven Day Curfew Begins In Ife by tobybodunde: 7:48pm On Aug 13, 2015
A seven-day curfew will begin after the remains of the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II, must have been buried on Friday, the town’s chiefs have said.

The spokesperson for the chiefs, Chief Dejo Adejobi, told our correspondent on the telephone on Thursday that the restriction of movement for the rites would start from 4pm today and would past for the next seven days.

But asked what the chiefs would do to ensure that the curfew would not affect visitors who would attend the burial, Adejobi said, “I understand you. Yes, we cannot invite people for the burial service and still restrict their movement. But you should understand that the service will start by 10am and the restriction of movement will start from 4:pm.”

Meanwhile, the burial rites which would herald the interment of the late monarch continued on Thursday as town criers from the palace moved round the town to enforce the chiefs’ order.

A resident, who witnessed the scene, Wunmi Adeoye, told our correspondent that the town criers beat their gongs as they moved round, warning residents not to come out tomorrow because movement would be restricted to enable the chiefs to carry out the remaining rites.

The town criers, according to him, warned violators of the order to be ready to face the consequences of their action.

He said, “Around 9.30am some persons from the palace came to Oja Titun and started beating traders and driving away traders. They said the people knew the burial rites still continued but came out to dare them.

“They have shut down the market and they said the rites would continue for seven days.”

Speaking with our correspondent, a resident who said she had visited Itakogun Market to buy some things, said some palace messengers went round ordering traders to immediately close their shops and vacate the markets in compliance with the order.

At Sabo Market, which is mostly populated by non-indigenes, traders hurriedly closed their shops as the news of the closure order of markets reached the place.

Some residents frown on the way the palace messengers flogged traders and those who crossed their path, saying they palace chiefs ought to have gone to the radio station to inform everybody that markets would be closed for seven days.

The announcement of movement restriction may confusion among those who were invited for the interdenominational service which would be held for the monarch before his remains would be interred at the palace.

The interment, which would take place inside the palace, it was gathered, would only be witnessed by some traditional chiefs.

The gates of the Ooni’s place were ajar when our correspondent visited the place on Thursday. This, the chiefs said, was one of the signs that the Ooni had left the world.

Preparations were also in top gear for the burial as workers were seen clearing the bush from Ife Junction to the main gate of the Obafemi Awolowo University on Thursday.
