Dare devil armed robbers who attacked the premises of the University of
Calabar Teaching Hospital, have been accused of stealing three new born
babies from the pediatric ward of the hospital. According to Punch. the
robbers who were about 10 in number, invaded the premises on Sunday
night, November 25th and carried out their attack, with no mask on. They
reportedly moved from bed to bed to pick up babies. They beat up the
hospital staff and also attacked pregnant women in the pediatric ward.
They also stole phones and cash from people in the ward.A nurse in the
hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity, said“Sunday night, several
armed robbers gained access to this (paediatric) unit. They came with
guns and machetes. They beat up my colleagues and some nursing mothers.
They took away some babies and money from the patients and nursing
mothers. The security in this hospital has been very porous. Lives of
patients, nurses and doctors are at risk. There is nowhere in this
hospital that is safe. There is so much stealing going on. Visitors are
no longer controlled. People troop into the wards without any check.
Many, including thieves, come in the guise of being patients’ relatives.
Hospital properties are stolen frequently, while electricity supply is a
big challenge in the hospital, because the diesel and generator parts
are stolen frequently by the workers and armed robbers.”The nurses said
security in the hospital has been porous for months as the private
security firm employed by the Hospital management, had withdrawn their
services over non-payment of salaries.When contacted, the Chief Medical
Director of the hospital, Prof. Thomas Agan, denied that the incident
happened in the hospital.The Cross River State Commissioner of Police,
Hafiz Inuwa, said he could not speak on the incident because he was out
of Calabar.A 24-year-old man, Godwin Banchir, who beat his 65-years-old

greetings, was, yesterday sentenced to death by hanging by Plateau High
Court, sitting in Jos. Shocking: Boy makes love with dead mother’s
corpse in Edo NAN: Man to die by handing for murder NAN: Man to die by
handing for murder Justice Daniel Longji, handed down the sentence as he
found Banchir guilty of killing his biological mother. Delivering the
judgment, Longji said: “Going by the findings of this court, you Godwin
Banchir, mercilessly took the life of your mother, Mrs Saratu Banchir,
in cold blood. “This sentence is mandatory, as the law states that any
person convicted of murder shall be punished with death by hanging. “The
sentence of this court upon you is that you, Godwin Banchir, will be
hanged until you are dead, may God have mercy on your soul,’’ he said.
It was gathered that the convict was first arraigned on June 6, 2016,
charged with culpable homicide, contrary to Section 221 of the Penal
Code punishable with death upon conviction. The convict was said to have
committed the crime on Jan. 21, 2016, when he used a stick to beat his
mother to death. Banchir in his confessional statement said that he
returned from the farm on the said date and found his mother sitting in
the compound and when he greeted her, she ignored him. He said that
infuriated him and he picked a stick and hit her. In his words: “I got
angry when she did not respond to my greetings, so I picked the stick of
an axe and hit her around her ribs. “She fell down and started
shouting, which attracted our neighbours who came to beat me up and
later took me to the police station. “I have been having
misunderstandings with my mother each time I return from the farm, she
doesn’t cook for me on time, and she always quarrels with me whenever I
want to bathe with the water she fetched from the stream. “Her actions
always annoyed me, I did not know that she was going to die from the

After countless hours of rigorous coaching, scores of intra-school
contests, six regional championships and one grande finale, the joy of
Kehinde Lawal and Idowu Ayomikun representing Lagos State could hardly
be contained after they emerged winners of the 2018 Lafarge Africa
National Literacy Competition. They know they are closer to achieving
their dreams in future. Ayomikun wants to become a psychotherapist while
Lawal wants to become a playwright like the special guest, Prof. Wole
Soyinka. “I was intimidated with the knowledge of fellow contestants
when I saw them for the first time, but as the competition progressed, I
got more confident,” Ayomikun said. “Now this victory has brought me
closer to my dream and I am sure I can achieve whatever I focus my mind
on.” 
For
Lawal, it is a story of resilience and determination. “Last year, I
contested in the school level, but I could not qualify,” he explained.
“This year, I came in with more determination and experience and it
resulted in this victory. I thank Lafarge Africa for this opportunity
and I urge all other kids to keep trying their best. It will definitely
be rewarded just like mine has been rewarded now.” Parents and teachers
of the winners were also excited. They recounted the winners’ efforts
during preparation for the two-month long competition. For Mr. Osho, one
of Lawal's teachers present at the event, it was an estatic moment.
“These pupils have made me proud. I am the happiest person in the world
with this victory,” the teacher said. The organisers of the event and
special guests shared the joys of the moment. 
Presenting
prizes to the winners, the Chief Executive Officer, Lafarge Africa,
Michel Puchercos applauded all the participants acknowledging all the
students who participated at every stage of the competition. He said:
“Apart from the cash prizes received, those who take part in this
competition go away with skills indispensable for building a sustainable
future. We recognize the importance of better literacy skills in
helping individuals succeed in life. The Lafarge Africa National
Literacy Competition builds capacity and contributes to developing this
much needed skill in public primary school students across
Nigeria. “Seeing states like Gombe, Nasarawa among some others here, I
am sure that the battle against illiteracy… can be won,” Wole Soyinka
said.Though only two out of the thousands of pupils who competed emerged
as winners, all who took part benefited from the competition. As part
of the preparation for the competition, all the students are coached in
spelling, pronunciation, essay and summary writing. In this way,
overall, the competition builds capacity, and contributes to improving
literacy of pupils in public primary schools. More photos below...

as dragging all athletes and calling them slaves who are sold to the

There's been a development in the family of the late South African Hip
Hop legend, Jabulani Tsambo aka HHP, and this is one of the hottest news
out of South Africa.HHP's baby mama Lerato Khanye, who has a
13-year-old son with the rapper, died in the early hours of yesterday
Nov 26 at a Johannesburg hospital. The exact circumstances surrounding
Lerato Khanye's death are not clear but social media users are dragging
HHP's wife in the wake of the death. 
HHP
and Lerato Khanye HHP, who committed suicide on October 24, 2018, was
married to publicist Lerato Sengadi, whom he loved crazily, according to
reports. He also had a son named Leano with his former partner Lerato
Khanye. It so happens that after HHP committed suicide last month and
was buried, there was a bit of a misunderstanding as to who has a right
to his estate. 
HHP
and Sengadi Wife Sengadi with the help of the courts and the
police established that she's the lawful wife and as a result, has a
right to the late rapper's estate. This didn't go down well with HHP's
family and there's been tension between them since. 
Sengadi Earlier
this month, a family spokesperson, Nkululeko Ncane, took to Twitter to
claim that HHP’s teenage son has been kicked out of the late rapper’s
home in Randpark Ridge by Sengadi. Ncane shared photos of his belongings
outside. 
In the midst of the family drama, Lerato Khanye died. And social media users are now dragging Lerato Sengadi without proof.

this has seen him commit resources, time and energy to the discovery,
development and refining of musical talents, thereby, enabling such
talents to attain world class standard.A man who has created such an
inspiring environment by being a mentor, has also made unreserved
financial commitments, by providing such talents with opportunities for
further development through music studies. Interestingly, he himself is
also a musician, who has several musical compositions to his name as
well as a massive collection of negro spiritual songs. This love and
passion for great music led to his unreserved support for the ‘Shalom
Chorale’ - a gospel choir group in MFM United Kingdom.Dr D.K Olukoya’s

individuals who cherish singing to the glory of God, whenever and
wherever they can. Simply put, as they described, their mission is to
share the message of peace and love through godly music.They expressed

community and its founder (General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and
Miracles Ministries church) Dr D.K. Olukoya who has been a source of
blessing, mentorship and immense support to them.Their passion, efforts
and breath-taking performances didn’t go unnoticed, as they got the
world’s attention and were selected to compete as one of the top 5
choirs for the BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year 2018
competition in the United Kingdom. At the first stage of the finals, the
delectable choir sang to the amazement of the audience who couldn’t
help but give a standing ovation to that effect, the judges:

Gibson and actor and singer Shaun Escoffery, were not left out as they
gushed over the choir. The choir then proceeded to the final stage of
the competition, where they were announced winners!Dr D.K Olukoya
expressed his utmost joy, seeing how God has rewarded his labour of
love, sacrifice and commitment to the growth of Christian music in
Nigeria and around the world. 
He
rejoices with the music director of the Shalom Chorale and its entire
members. He also reassures them of his unending support and love for the
group while restating his commitment and efforts towards ensuring that
gospel music attains greater recognition all over the world.

Dotun has successfully carved out a niche within a diverse entertainment
industry. The intent of the shoot was to showcase and story-tell
Dotun’s many presenting-styles as Alter-egos through fashion. Starting
with the good, the corporate smooth look, followed by the bad, with the
attire showing an affinity for martial arts and space travel. Finally
the energy, with the use of fire and illumination. All these showcase
his daring character to be different. This is the evolution of
the Energy gAD. The Evolution of HypeDotun observed in his hosting
career, a lack of ‘parties with life’ and the Nigerian notion of ‘sit
and be seen’ or ‘just be there’. He saw an opportunity to carve out a
niche. He saw in his own personality a catalyst and portal to bring the
energy to the party-space, by creating an Alter-ego that channelled his
God-given energy and control. Not only has Dotun been able to master the
skill of crowd-control, he has tapped into our reciprocal human energy
to be controlled in the euphoria of a crowd. This very powerful mix has
been the success behind this now established brand.Like Sàngó, the Ife
god who was the 4th king that ruled as the Alaafin of Oyo. Sango was
known to have controlled Thunder. ‘f èdùn kó lè b’ ebè isu’ , meaning
the one who uses the thunderbolt to till the earth into heaps like those
for planting yams.This powerful simile and constant improvement of
Dotun’s brand means the genre of Hype is here to stay. Where, in
previous times, on stage, the Hypeman’s role was to support the music
Artist, Dotun has shown through precedence that he can be the forefront,
even without the Artist. He ensures the event/party has the influence
and energy required.This is Oladotun Kayode, this is the Energy
gAD. About Oladotun KayodeOladotun Ojuolape Kayode (Born April 8, 1984)

The meeting between the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) on Monday in Abuja ended without any agreement.
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President, while speaking to newsmen after
the closed door meeting, said negotiation was ongoing and the meetings
will continue. The meeting, which started at 5 p.m. at the Federal
Ministry of Education, was to find a lasting solution to the ongoing
strike. The union embarked on the strike three weeks ago over the
funding of Nigerian Universities and an alleged plan by the Federal
Government to increase students’ fees and introduce an education bank.
The union is also demanding the implementation of the Memorandum of
Action (MoA) agreement by both parties in 2017.
