National Association of Nigerian Students NANS torn apart over ‘Golden Man’ award to Buruji Kashamu

Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) are divided over the 'Golden Man of the Year' given to Senator Buruji Kashamu by NANS National President, Tijani Usman.

Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) are divided over the 'Golden Man of the Year' given to SenatorBuruji Kashamuby NANS National President,Tijani Usman.

Trouble started after Usman presented the award to Kashamu, a Senator representing Ogun-East senatorial district, at a ceremony held in Ogun state last week.

In a statement issued by its Chairman,Dotun Opaleye, the Ogun State chapter of NANS, criticized Usman and distanced itself from the award.


This incidence is terribly disturbing to all sane minds and is capable of drawing the anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari backwards when men of questionable character who are wanted by American authorities for drug crimes are celebrated by the apex student body," Opaleye said.

"We sincerely ask: What is so golden about Kashamu? Is it because he destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West?"

“We decided to honour Senator Kashamu because we know that he is neither the richest businessman nor politician in Nigeria, yet we constantly hear of his philanthropic gestures to Nigerians of all shades and colours, especially the less-privileged.
“We are fascinated at his large-heartedness even in the face of needless distractions.

"We reckon that if all wealthy Nigerians are like Senator Kashamu, the country will be a better place for us all.
"That is why we decided to encourage him by giving him this award.”

But Opaleye faulted Usman's claim of the Senator's 'philanthropic gestures', adding that students of the state have not benefited from him.

“What has Kashamu done for Nigerian students domiciled in Ogun State to merit such award?

"Even in his immediate environment, he hasn’t been able to donate a single toilet to schools like Olabisi Onabanjo University or Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, not to mention other schools in his senatorial district like Tai Solarin University of Education.”

Also reacting to the award, the Ogun State chapter of theAll ProgressivesCongress (APC), has through its Publicity Secretary,Sola Lawal, also faulted the NANS leadership.

“The honour signifies a pitiable erosion of value which points to the fact that indeed the future is bleak for the future generation of Nigerians as represented by the current leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, that has been so debased, backward and visionless,"Lawal said.

In a related development, Kashamu's position in the Senate is at risk as the National and State Houses of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, delivers judgment on a suit challenging his victory in the March 28 Presidential and National Assembly Election on Friday.

Nigeria Education Buhari urged to emulate Jonathan, establish more universities

President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to emulate former President Goodluck Jonathan by establishing more universities in Nigeria to serve the growing population of students seeking admissions at the tertiary level


The Vice Chancellor of theFederal University, Wukari, ProfessorGeoffrey Okogbaa, made the call while receiving members of the Joint Action Coalition of Civil Society Groups.

Okogbaa said the creation of universities in the six geo-political zones by Jonathan's administration helped in no small measure.

“One thing you cannot take away from the Jona­than administration is the fact that he gave edu­cation priority attention,” the don said.

“The universities he established in all six geo-political zones have gone a long way to reduce the psychological trauma, rejection and destruc­tion of dreams being faced by many helpless Nigerians in the past."

The group honoured the Vice chancellor with the “Man of the Year 2015” award for his sterling performance as the head of the university.

Panic Hits UTCH Emergency Ward Over Ebola Scare

Nigeria might have another case of Ebola to worry about following the forced closure of the accident and emergency ward of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital over a suspected case of Ebola disease.

The scare was occasioned by a patient’s death at about 2pm on Tuesday, October 6, after symptoms related to the deadly EVD manifested prior to his passing on.

Sources reveal that the unidentified patient was brought in from Akpabuyo local government area of Cross River state, with high body temperature as well as vomiting, stooling and bleeding from the nose.

It was further disclosed that the patient died before any test could be carried out on him, causing the accident and emergency ward to be quarantined on suspicion that the virus might be the cause of death.
The Punch reports that the patient died of Haemorrhagic fever, however, the state Ebola emergency team was invited at about 6pm to investigate sample of the deceased.

Dr Queenet Kalu, the deputy chief medical director of UCTH, confirmed the scare but said the patient was suspected to have died of Haemorrhagic fever.
Kalu who is also the chairman of medical advisory committee, said though a patient was suspected to have died of Haemorrhagic fever, it development does not call for alarm.
She said everything was under control and that the public had no need to be scared of EVD which is yet to be ascertained.

Escape Health FacilityMeanwhile, the new cases of Ebola discovered by the Ministry of Health in Liberia and Sierra Leone has revealed that more needs to be done in combating diseases in Africa, especially within the western region.

In August, there were three new cases of Ebola reported in Liberia, barely two months after being declared Ebola free by the World Health Organization (WHO), a development which some say exposed major vulnerability of African countries to public health emergencies due to infectious diseases.

In the light of the this problem, Dr Pate Mohammad, former minister for state for health, said Nigeria should fully domesticate its capacity for public health disease surveillanceand response as a core public health function of Federal and all states ministries of health.

I Will Soon Become A Man Of God - Terry G

Eccentric singer cum music producer, Gabriel Oche-Amanyi, famously known as Terry G, has informed that his fans should not be surprised if he becomes a messenger of God soon because there is already a prophesy to that effect.

Terry G, who started his career as a gospel musician and a devoted chorister at a Lagos based Redeemed Christian Church of God, said he is definitely going to quit secular music and take up God’s work because that is what he is destined to do.

The Benue state-born entertainer reiterated:“By God’s grace; it has been prophesied that God is going to use me to prophesy to multitudes, and I think I’m already doing that in a way, but when God calls me at the right time, I will go for it fully.”

Describing his foray into secular music, the controversial singer hinted:“Sometimes, you need to put yourself in people’s shoes. When a preacher is preaching to you, and you already knew all what he was going to say, it might not sound interesting.

“I think God knows why He chose a path for everybody because if you look at it, everybody has done gospel music at some point; it worked for some people, and didn’t work for some. That is because we have different purposes in life. I’m only doing this (secular music) temporarily.”

He also explained to Naij.com that he was attracted to Mimi, his heartthrob andbaby-mamabecause his mother, who is a pastor, always insist that he must bring a responsible lady home.

“My Mom said I must bring a responsible girl home, and that is the image she (Mimi) has. It is very hard for men of nowadays to find the right woman, but I was determined to get a homely girl. She is lovely, understanding and very intelligent. It is always difficult to find the right partner, but I’m lucky to have found her,”Terry G chuckled.

The artiste and his Edo state-born Mimi, who are blessed with a son, Rex, met at an event in the United Kingdom, and dated for about five years before having a baby.
