7 Important Things Women Want You To Do In Bed

It is easy for men to focus on the act of receiving pleasure when it comes to intimacy, but the things that can make a girl truly swoon can be very surprising.


If you are not doing these things listed below, then you are most probably not satisfying her the way she expects:

1. Foreplay: A woman needs to get adequately turned-on before the actual sex begin. While a man is usually always ready for action without preamble, a woman needs some time to warm up. She would be completely grateful if you take the time to please her through means like dirty talking, kissing, touching and so on. When she is ready, you would know it, and it would become a better experience between the both of you

2. Comfort: Another way to make sure she is satisfied is when you give her an opportunity to relax and let go. A woman needs to get comfortable with herself and what she is about to do for her to be able to give you her best. Make sure you consider her comfort level. Avoid situations that would leave her feeling pressured or nervous

3. Take Your Time: Making love to a woman often requires a lot of patience. Be in control of her pleasure and avoid rushing her through the process

4. Know Her Body: The difference between good and bad sex, for women, usually comes down to ability to listen to her body. While pleasuring her, remember to keep notes of what she likes. When you do hit the right spot, keep going until you are sure she is completely under your control. Be sure to focus on her as much as yourself (even more) and work with the cues she provides

5. Use Your Tongue: Never underestimate the power of the tongue during intimacy. A lot of women usually do not orgasm from penetration alone but most women would swear by a good tongue action being their ticket to achieving climax. Ravish her with your hands and tongue and she would find it very difficult to say no to being with you.

6. Ladies First: Speaking of orgasm, a truly great sex partner makes sure his lady achieve the ultimate peak of pleasure before he does. There is nothing as disappointing to a lady as leaving her hanging after you have attained your own pleasure. If you have issues lasting long in bed, find other ways to love her that would leave her feeling satisfied before you shift the focus on yourself.

7. Be A Gentleman: Instead of just turning over and going to sleep after the act, take a moment to cuddle her, compliment her and basically make her feel good about what you both just did. No woman wants to be left feeling like a used piece of meat after sex.

It is discovered that most men do not take their time to know their kind of woman before going intimate with them and as a result, most relationships do not last as most men becomes selfish, when they are in bed.

Do You Know There's Now A Competition For Virgins In Nigeria?

In a world where so many things have been taken for granted, it has been made known that there is now a competition for virgins.


Lagos state born Princess Adunni Adediran who has always had a thing for influencing the society is obviously full of great ideas. The successful businesswoman, mother and philanthropist who will be clocking 70 in few months to come spoke to Vanguard about her project called ‘Nigerian Virgin Girls’. The project is geared at rewarding chastity among young girls in Nigeria.
Read excerpts below:

How did celebrating virgins come about?

At a point, I started thinking of our old people in this country, so I published ‘Fragile Fit’, a magazine that was dealing with weak limbs of the elderly. Alhaji Lateef Jakande loved it and said the publication was even over due. As I was doing that, I dreamt 11 times where I organised ‘Recognising and encouraging the virgins in Nigeria’. That is how I started the project in 2007.

Why has there not been consistency in organising the annual event?

I spoke to the who-is-who in this country for sponsorship such Princess Erelu Dosunmu, Late Ambassador Segun Olusola and many others. A lot of them indicated their interest to help but we did not get sponsors except for the owner of Emily Millionaire cosmetics, Joe Brown, who was giving us cosmetics.

Rado was giving us wrist watches to distribute to the virgins. The one that really touched me was the help we got from the former Arch Bishop of Lagos, Diocese, Olubumni Okogie (rtrd). I am glad he appreciated that we are doing something good.

We wrote a letter to the Lagos State Government but didn’t receive a reply but they gave us the Banquet Hall where the event took place. Financially, an important personality in the Lagos State Government gave us N250,000 in 2009. We would also like to collaborate with NACA. This project is supposed to be a collective responsibility of every Nigerian.

In spite of the challenges we are facing in organising the annual celebration, a lot of virgins came from Enugu, Aba, Delta, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano and Abuja. I even sold my house in Ikorodu, Lagos to host and encourage virgins. We also got threatening phone calls from some highly placed men in society threatening to kill me if I did not stop celebrating virgins. They said I am disturbing their fun.


So what changed your mind?

For years, I was walking like a living corpse because I could not continue to host the annual event for virgins. It is unfortunate.

To see a virgin in the modern day Nigeria is not common. How do you ascertain their virginity?

A gynaecologist, Dr. Naheem-Deen Ekemode, who has practised for more than 40 years, was doing that for us. Within a second, he will know whether someone is a virgin or not but some parents started frowning about it.

But are there still virgins amongst ladies of marriageable age?

I have virgins even in my home. My own daughter got married as a virgin at 29. There are many virgins in this country but they are shy to come out because their wayward friends mock at them. They call them fools because they want to spoil their lives before marriage and there is nothing more interesting and good one would be proud of than keeping one’s virginity. In fact, God loves it because I heard the voice several times, urging me to go and encourage virgins and I will not stop it till my demise.

Most men complain that marrying a virgin gives them concern. To them, it is like relating with somebody who cannot satisfy them sexually.

They are saying it because they are in doubt of the authenticity of our claim that there are still virgins. They know that if they marry a virgin, they have assurance that they are marrying somebody who has not tampered with her womb or who has not contracted sexually transmitted diseases. You cannot compare used engine with a brand new one. Men are not realistic. All these they are talking that it is difficult to get virgins is not true. Some men will use these girls, de-flower some of them and at the end of the day, they will jilt them and run after another girl.

We are in year of 21st Century with internet associated sexual activities. How do we check that?

Our business is to encourage virginity, to wake up parents and tell them to make a change in life of a girl in their hands. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah. Men will do it and go free, although some of them will contract virgins and won’t be able to impregnate their wife. Men too should remain virgins till they marry. In pre-marital sex, men will waste important children including presidents in their body before getting married.

What do you teach these girls?

How to keep away from the prying eyes of their uncles, teachers, lecturers and friends. We will teach them how to minimise going to places where they will put something in their drink and rape them.

But how long can one remain a virgin?

It is not good to remain a virgin till above 30 years. When you are in your 20s, pray and ask God to give you a husband. Don’t go in the late hours. I have a 21-year-old virgin living with me. I always advise her to keep her virginity.

Have you ever been challenged because of this project?

I have got a lot of embarrassing questions and comments but I am not perturbed.

Some people sent me text messages and some of them called me and said that I am crazy. One of them said, “Why are you blocking us from enjoying the virgins God made available for us?”

What are the criteria for winning the first prize at the Miss Virginity Contest?

The intellectual prowess, legs, faces and carriage are parts of the criteria. We are more interested in the beauty from inside so we want to know how intelligent they are.

What advice do you have for ladies in Nigeria?

If you are a virgin, remain so until you are married. If you are not, put a stop to having sex till you get married. If you have been cheated by an opposite sex, take heart.

We want to catch them young and make sure that some sexually transmitted diseases are reduced to the barest minimum in Nigeria. They are doing it in Ghana, South Africa, Japan and so on.

I want Nigerians to come together and help curb sex before marriage to save our future.

Buhari Addresses NYSC Members At Swearing-In Ceremony

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday addressed members of the NYSC urging them to cooperate with his government in the fight against corruption. And not only.


The country leader spoke on June 4, Thursday, at the National Youths Service Corps orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos state, Vanguard reports.

Buhari delivered speech through Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos state governor, who was on his part represented by aide Aderemi Desalu.

Buhari stressed the importance of the occasion, which was the first swearing-in of the NYSC members for one-year service under his administration.

“My dear compatriots, the time has come for us as responsible citizens to come to terms with the prevailing realities in our national life. Without doubt, the current situation in our country calls for unity, commitment and hard work to help its development.

“As we have promised Nigerians, my administration will soon unveil a comprehensive National Youths Empowerment Programme, anchored on the model provided by the NYSC scheme, our goal is to comprehensively address youth unemployment, insecurity and other social vices prevalent among our youths.

“Let me assure you all that change for us is not just a political slogan, it is the dawn of new order, sough for by majority of our people. The true change we desire must start with everyone of us, especially you, the Nigerian youths.

“On our part, we are prepared and determined to lead the nation with sincerity of purpose. We will continue to support and encourage corps members and the NYSC scheme by quick intervention and fulfilment of statutory obligations at all tiers of government.

“Corps members must be ready to participate fully and join hands with all Nigerians to fight the scourge of corruption. I call on you to cultivate the spirit of hard work and selfless service.”

Five Die After Attending Naming Ceremony In Lagos

Five people have been killed in the Ajah area of Lagos state by unknown hoodlums suspected to be working for a political party in the state.


According to Punch report, the victims were returning from a naming ceremony on June 3, Wednesday, when the hoodlums waylaid them and opened fire on their bus.

They also slit the throats of some of the bus occupants with cutlasses and knives.

Those who lost their lives were identified as Ganiyu Lawal, aka Ebe; Idris Kolapo; Samsudeen Osoja, aka Songa; Rafiu, aka Ralph; and Ladi.


The building, and three of the victims Kolapo, Songa, Lawal

Five others managed to escape with injuries.

The deceased and survivors were said to be working with the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Oyebanji branch, Lagos Island, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle (aka Seego).

Trouble was said to have started on Sunday when Seego and the leader of a rival gang, Tunde (aka Yellow) met at a function. “During the event, he sighted Yellow and asked him to bow to him. When the latter refused, he became angry and ordered his boys to deal with him. Yellow was beaten and his clothes torn by Songa, who works for Seego,” a source said.

Another source identified as Pepe John said, on the day of the incident, the wife of one of the boys in Ajah had a naming ceremony and men from Seego’s group went there to party.

He said: “As they left after the party, a group of boys shot at their vehicle. They entered the bus and started slashing their throats.”

The head of Songa, who beat up Yellow, was reportedly cut off by the attackers and they took the head away with them, but left the other corpses.

Those who managed to escape later identified their identified their alleged attackers to include Tunde Yellow, Small Kuramo, Sharon, Abbas, Olokodana, Ade, Ibafo John, Orji Mass, Baba Raji and one Ejo Ilaje.

The incident led to chaos in the area as more than 100 hoodlums took to the street on Thursday, searching for the men for their alleged involvement in the killings. They burnt properties, firing shots in the air.

The police later arrived and were said to be arresting innocent people.

Confirming the incident, Kenneth Nwosu, the police public relations officer, said only two people died while three others sustained injuries.

7-feet Cobra Scares Students At ABU Hostel

Palpable fear has gripped the students of  Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria following a 7-feet long cobra sneaked into Room 49, scaring students of the hostel.



An eyewitness, who did not want his name in print, confirmed that the snake was seen shortly after Isha’i prayer by a student lying on his bed.
“The snake might have come through the thick bush at the back of the hostel,” he said.
The snake was killed through the combined efforts of the occupants of the room and others.


A student, Mr. Ibrahim, said: “It’s a sad event, just a coincidence people will say. But one of the factors that could be responsible for the development is the lack of light in the hostel.
“It would have been disastrous had the cobra bitten somebody. I am appealing for constant supply of electricity to hostels.”
Another student, Ben, residing at ICSA, added: “The ICSA/RAMAT Hostel is located at the outskirt of the school and surrounded by bush. One would not have expected this kind of snake, very big snake, to sneak into our room.”
He appealed to the school authority to guard against similar incidence.
“Although, the management has been doing its best to ensure constant electricity supply to hostels, more needs to be done,” he said.

UNN Students Feared Dead In Nasty Car Accident

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka has been thrown into mourning following the death of some students who lost their lives in a horror road smash.

The students as gathered by liveschoolnews.com.ng were traveling home after the University authorities ordered them out of hostels.

It would be recalls that the University was suddenly shut down on Monday, a move believed to have been aimed at averting a planned riot by the students who had suffered acute water scarcity for over three weeks.



The gory incident occurred at the Nsukka-9th Mile Express way.

Although the Enugu State Police Command put the death figure at three, eyewitness account said the number is higher.

In a statement by the spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, he said “three persons have been confirmed dead while five others sustained various degrees of injuries”.

He added that “the auto crash, involves a diesel truck with registration number AWK 311 XB, which is believed to have lost control as a result of suspected brake failure and had hit two buses with registration numbers UWN 406 XA and UWN 57 XA and also a motorcycle.

“The injured are being attended to at our Saviour Hospital, 9th Mile corner Ngwo, while the dead bodies are also deposited at the same hospital mortuary”.

A student, who was traveling when the accident occurred blamed the University authority for the development.

“It was very sad to see our fellow students die like that; we were chased out of school and now they have also been forced out of the world. This would not have occurred if we were not ordered out of school”, he lamented.

NYSC Members Recruited For Prostitution In Minna

Disgusting report reveals how a cartel in Minna, the Niger State capital, has turned National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp into a recruitment ground for “young prostitutes.”

The cartel, according to findings, consists of elitist group; politicians, journalists with the active connivance of some NYSC officials, who approve the requests of the cartel to post selected female Corps members to a particular government agency, boards and parastatals.

The unsuspecting female Corps members soon succumb to their wishes after promises of not only posting them to Government House or choice areas with mouth-watering incentives, including furnishing house for them to stay throughout the duration of their one year national service for sexual satisfaction.



Selected/recruited Corps members by the cartel from the Paiko NYSC Camp are always included on the list of those posted to serve in the Protocol Department, Government House to cover their tracks, the source said.

As a way of rewarding the girls, parties to celebrate birthdays by each of them are organised if they wished, end of their service year is usually celebrated for them as they are quickly replaced with new intakes almost immediately by the cartel, the source said.

To avoid the prying eyes of unsuspecting public, the male partners under the cover of being part of the Government House Corpers’ lodge behind the Idris Legbo Kutigi International conference centre, Minna visit their partners in the unholy act at odd hours.

Investigations reveal that the dislodgement of the journalists and their politician collaborators from the Government House Corpers’ Lodge began when they started having issues among themselves and their activities became an open secret. This, the source said, almost cost one of the protocol officers in government house his job.

Reacting to the developments in an interview, Niger State NYSC coordinator, Mr. Steven Ehoda-Adi, said that he was not aware of any such cartel existing in the state.

Steven however told our correspondent that the NYSC in the state ensures proper documentations for Corps members deployed to government and recognized corperate organizations when it becomes absolutely necessary with reasons in accordance with the laws establishing the NYSC.

Steven however added that the NYSC has little or no control over the private life of Corps members. He said, “I am not aware of any cartel recruiting Corps members for the purpose of prostitution. I am rather shocked hearing that some of your colleagues, journalists are actively involved in this unholy act”.

UNILORIN VC Says Varsities will Stop Post UTME Provided ……

Post UTME will become a thing of the past if the computer-based examination conducted by JAMB continued to be efficient, says UNILORIN VC.


Vice-Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali, during an interactive session with journalists in Ilorin yesterday has said that universities in the country may review their position on the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination if the current computer-based examination continued to be efficient.

Ambali said, “The University of Ilorin was the first to start CBT and I am glad that it is being embraced nationwide, especially by JAMB.

“So, let us give JAMB a couple of trials and once the board restores confidence in the system, many universities may review the need for their post-JAMB. But in the meantime, we will continue to watch JAMB to see how consistent it would be in handling its CBT.”

MUST READ: 5 Things You Must Do If You Have Unprotected Sex

Unprotected sex is sexual intercourse without the use of a barrier method of contraception. This can be either the male or the female condom. Unprotected sexual intercourse increases the risk of contacting/ transmitting HIV, STD and unwanted pregnancy. I have seen a lot of people overwhelmed with anxiety after having unprotected sexual intercourse with some indulging in acts that does not only sound ridiculous but also increases their chance of contacting STD or even affecting their health adversely. Douching is one of such. Generally, women are discouraged from douching because it alters the normal bacteria flora of the vagina which keeps it healthy and free from invading pathogens. If you douche after sex, it increases the chance of contacting STD and it doesn’t prevent pregnancy and HIV infection.

Myths like ingestion of herbal medicines, insertion of caustic soda, ingesting OTCs like ampicillin and aspirin have not been proven scientifically to be effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and infection with STD. In this article, we will review on things you must do if you have unprotected sex.



1. Take Emergency contraceptive pills

This is one of the surest ways of preventing unwanted pregnancy after having unprotected sexual intercourse. You will have to take emergency contraceptives in form of emergency contraceptives pills. Emergency contraceptive pills also referred to as morning after pills are is used to prevent pregnancy. There can be obtained with a doctor’s prescription or as an over the counter drug (OTC) in drug stores. A commonly used form of EC is Postinor 2® which is taken within 72 hours after having unprotected sexual intercourse. It contains Levonorgestrel which is a synthetic form of a female reproductive hormone that prevents implantation hence pregnancy doesn’t occur.

2. Ask for an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD)

If after 72 hours, then you must contact your health care provider for an emergency IUD. IUD is tiny rod-like devices inserted into the uterus (womB-) by your doctor. There distort cervical mucus and prevents the implantation of the egg. If inserted properly and within 5 days, it is highly effective with an efficacy rate of about 98%. It is important to note that EC and IUD don’t give any protection nor prevent STD and HIV infection.

3. Test for STD and HIV

Fears of infection with STD or the dreaded killer disease HIV is heightened after unprotected sexual intercourse. It is mandatory that you test to screen for STD and HIV. If possible, such test should be conducted with your sexual partner. STD to be tested for includes Hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. This can be carried out with blood samples or via a vaginal/ penile swab. However, results gotten from an early test are inconclusive hence test must be repeated after 6 months for cases of HIV and Hepatitis. Testing after having unprotected sexual intercourse allays fear/ anxiety and increases the chance of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted disease.

4. Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

PEP is essential after a high risk unprotected sexual intercourse. This includes cases of rape by an unknown assailant, sexual intercourse with an individual living with HIV or unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner with known multiple sexual partners. You must visit a health facility that provides such services and after counseling and series of test, you will be commenced on PEP for a duration of one month. The drugs have been noted to be 99% effective in preventing HIV if commenced within 72 hours. PEP provides protection against HIV but not to other STD. However, you will have to do another HIV test after 6 months to be declared free from the deadly disease.

5. Keep calm and watch for symptoms

Unprotected sex may happen unexpectedly or as a result of carelessness from both partners. Once it has occurred, there is little of no need for panic. You should keep calm and watch out for symptoms after undergoing the initial screening test for STD and HIV. Symptoms make take 2 weeks or more to manifest. If after unprotected sex, you begin to experience vaginal itching, vaginal or penile discharge, severe burning pain on urinating, sores or ulcers around your external genitals then it is advisable that you consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Impersonation: 88 Post-UTME Candidates Under Prosecution

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, UNIZIK revealed that 88 post UTME candidates are being prosecuted, other 400 on the run.
During the last post UTME conducted by the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK), about 88 candidates were arrested by the university and handed over to the police for alleged impersonation. The arrested 88 are being prosecuted in Anambra State.

The university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, stated this, on Monday June 1, 2015 while briefing journalists on achievements of his administration within one year in office.
He said the candidates were arrested by the university and handed over to the police that were now prosecuting them, adding that about 400 candidates who had come to impersonate during the examination were on the run.
“We had to track down the impersonators because we have upgraded our admission process. We have digitized almost everything by introducing biometric machine which we will continue to bring sanity not only in our admission process but in controlling our students,” he said.
To ensure early release of results to students, the vice chancellor said the authorities of the institution resolved that lecturers who failed to release their result to students after one month of the examination would forfeit their salaries.
Ahaneku further stated that the university had not increased school fees for students and did not intend to do so, adding that the issue of hostel accommodation was being tackled headlong.

Boko Haram, Religious Intolerance Check radical Muslim clerics, UNILAG lecturer urges NSCIA

A lecturer at theUniversity of Lagos(UNILAG), Dr. Tajudeen Yusuf, has urged theNigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs(NSCIA) to always monitor the activities of radical Muslim clerics.
Yusuf, who was delivering the pre-Ramadan lecture organised by theFountain University, Osogbo(FUO), said clerics with radical views that may be contrary to Islamic teachings and inimical to national development should be checked.
He said the NSCIA should encourage Muslim clerics to promote religious tolerance in the interest of unity and harmony, noting that it was the failure of Islamic leaders in to check such individuals who spread dangerous views that caused the emergence of the Boko Haram sect.
"What brought about the Boko Haram?" he asked.
"It is lack of leadership. Anybody can just say anything or teach anything,
"Everybody turned themselves into Muslim clerics, nobody cautioned them."

He noted that the effect of the activities of such dangerous clerics is suffered by everyone.
"But when the Boko Haram came, didn't they kill Muslims?

"People were praying inside mosques and they opened fire on them.
"Leadership failure brought about the emergence of Boko Haram."
The don also called on clerics to make comments statements on political, economic and religious issues at every time, not just during the Ramadan period.
Yusuf teaches at UNILAG's Department of Actuarial and Insurance.

FRAUD ALERT: Advice to Desperate Admission Seekers

Several “desperate” admission seekers have lost billions of naira to fraudsters who use the internet to dupe them. Studies have shown that the group of people that is most susceptible to internet fraud is the desperate or the greedy. While the desperate would go to any length to get what they want, including parting with the little resources at their disposal at any point in time, the greedy ones are forever obsessed with the acquisitive tendency until they are dispossessed, in the process, of huge financial and/or investment assets.

Cloned websites which scammers present as that of most sought-after Nigerian Universitiesare now live as Post-UTME of various public universities are about to start. An unfortunate scenario is currently playing out whereby some candidates have been made to part with as much as N25, 000 each ostensibly to be eligible to take part in the post-UTME screening test of some universities! On this phantom site, the applicants were told that their respective institutions of choice had released the cut-off mark for the 2015/2016 admission exercise and advised to start “processing” their applications.

Note of Warning to Admission Seekers.
No public varsities in Nigeria will ask you to pay “processing fee” for admission. The only pre-admission charge is very meager and it is for registration for the post-UTME test. It’s always between N1,500 – N5,000. And in any case, it will not be paid into an individual’s personal bank account.
It is obvious that it is this allure and desperation by admission seekers to enter the University that scammers have continually exploited. However, prospective candidates and their parents and guardians should not allow this allure to becloud their sense of reasoning to the extent of falling cheaply for fraudsters!
Want to be the first to know when your institution(s) of choice released the 2015/2016 post UTME screening application form? Bookmark and keep checking ‘ MySchoolGist Post UTME Updates Page‘.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities Union's President condemns the establishment of new Institution

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, National President, Dr. Issa Fagge Nasir has said that the 16 universities and other higher institutions established by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan lack the necessary legal backing and so their accreditation days may be numbered.
This was made known while commenting on the four Colleges of Education upgraded to Universities by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

He said:
“Our quarrel with the government is that universities are not just established by executive fiats like this administration is doing. So the Federal Government is only compounding the problems already bedeviling the education sector and I wonder if the incoming administration will allow this to stand.

Strictly speaking, the Federal Government is not respecting its own laws, and I wonder how you just transmute an institution without looking at its laws. What happens to its staff, facilities and infrastructure?”

According to him, the 500m Naira released by the Jonathan-led administration as take-off grant to the universities is not even enough to fund training of staff not to talk of infrastructural upgrade.

Dr. Fagge urged the incoming administration to critically assess these decisions and make impartial judgment that will benefit the mass of the people and return the country’s education sector’s lost glory

WAEC vows to maintain examination standards

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Saturday said it would continue to maintain best practices in the conduct of its examinations, irrespective of security challenges it has witnessed.
The council’s Head of National Office (HNO), Dr Charles Eguridu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the conduct of the council’s examinations was improving by the year.

Eguridu spoke against the backdrop of efforts it made in ensuring the successful conduct of its recently-concluded May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
According to him, the examinations were conducted hitch-free, with no major interruptions, unlike in the past.
He said there were no hitches in states with security concerns, adding that this was because the council used indigenes of such areas as personnel during the examinations.
“The examinations went on well; there were no major hitches during the conduct of the examinations.

“Having said this, however, I will quickly like to point out that security wise, the council had a few challenges, which had to do with communal clashes in states like Benue,” Eguridu said.
The WAEC HNO added that a youth corps member who supervised the examination in one of the states was attacked on his way home by candidates of a school.

He said the attack was prompted because the youth corps member prevented the candidates from cheating.
“We shall continue to do our best to protect our personnel and materials, to ensure safety. We shall continue to improve on our strategy in the area of security.

“We shall do our best in this aspect, even though as you know, there is no way we can deploy security personnel for every staff of WAEC or every supervisor representing the interests of the council.”
He said this would be an expectation too high to meet.
Eguridu, however, lauded the various security out

Addressing newsmen, the ASUU Chairman in the school, Prof Olufayo Olu-Olu, said the union could not take a lead role in the protest because it had yet to obtain approval from the congress.
The aggrieved lecturers shut the two gates of the institution and turned back students.
The SSANU Chairman, Comrade Kolawole Falade, told journalists that the unions arrived at the decision to embark on a protest at its meeting held on Tuesday

Rochas Okorocha "We need to make classrooms more beautiful" - Imo Governor

The Chairman, All Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Imo State, Rochas Owelle Okorocha, said on Monday that Nigerian leaders should learn to make schools more comfortable than homes for conducive learning.
He stated his regrets at how leaders pay more attention to home beautification than making schools more conducive for learning which he said, hinders educational development in the country.
“We must make our classrooms more beautiful, comfortable and centres of attraction than our homes because it is where the future of our country lies,” he said.
Commissioning the Model Primary School built by the Sokoto State Universal Basic Education Board in collaboration with the UBEC at Mana area of Sokoto, he said the era of beautifying homes and buying flashy cars for children had gone.
He maintained that there is no future for children without education, quoting a verse of the Holy Qur’an which says “read” to buttress his argument. He pledged to build a Rocha’s Foundation College in the state.

University of Lagos 'Take education serious, make your parents proud, 1st class graduate tells Nigerian students

Korede Akinpelumi, the best-graduating student ofUniversity of Lagos(UNILAG) in the 2014/2015 session, has advised Nigerian students to take their education serious in honor of their parents.
Speaking in an interview withDaily Trust, the 21-year-old said studying is tough but inevitable.

"I know we don’t like reading," Akinpelumi said.
"It is good to appreciate the efforts of our guardians and parents by way of paying our school fees and taking care of us.

"The onus is on us, students, to make them proud always by taking our education serious because we are the future."
He graduated with 4.96 CGPA, earning a First class degree in chemical engineering.
Akinpelumi said achieving such a remarkable grade was not easy, even though he "came in through a diploma foundation programme" which prepared him for full degree studies.
"In my second year, both first and second semesters, I had A grades. Just after my second year, I was on a CGPA of 5.0," he said.
"I guess that was how it started and somehow, people knew that I was going to make it."
"So, overall, it’s been tough and challenging but tougher maintaining the first class than even attaining it."
Even the loss of his father in his final year, a period he described as "tough and trying", did not stop him.
"The emotional trauma I faced at that period because my dad was my source of inspiration and motivation toward my academic success.
The chemical engineer attended UNILAGInternational Secondary Schoolwhere he also finished as the best-graduating student with 8 A grades in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASCE).

Akinpelumi, who is about to proceed on the mandatoryNational Youth Service Corps(NYSC) scheme is now weighing his choices, between pursuing a masters and PhD or taking up a chemical engineering career in the oil and gas sector

MTN Moves to Withdraw Digital Library Donated to UNILAG

UNILAG VC, Professor Rahmon Bello
MTN Nigeria Communications Limited (MTNN) moves to withdraw the abandoned Universities Connect Library at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, Lagos.
The digital library was donated to UNILAG in 2005 when internet enabled phones were still a luxury. The digital library has been placed under lock and key in the last five years and much to the dissatisfaction of the donor organisation.
In-house sources at the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) office of the telecommunication outfit informed newsmen that the evacuation processes would begin soon, even as it was gathered that troubled Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo Campus may be the new beneficiary.
MTN Corporate Social Executive, Akinwale Goodluck, recently at the Lagos State Support Our School Initiative Breakfast Meeting, said the world-class facility, a pride of his organisation, had been locked up for years, because the school management could just not keep to agreements in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2004.

Goodluck, who gave credit to the Lagos State government and the ministry of education on effective partnership till date, said a state-owned tertiary institution would be the new beneficiary of the digital library when it was retrieved from UNILAG.
“We are happy to transfer this facility to Lagos State,” Goodluck said.
Authorities of UNILAG, however maintained that they had given the telecommunication outfit their blessing to remove the facility, after sections of the second agreement were breached by the mobile outfit.

Muslims secondary school students have been urged to remain morally upright, focused and self-confident so as to have a better future.
The Amir (President) of the Yaba Area Council of theMuslim Students Society of Nigeria(MSSN), MallamSulaiman AbdulRaheem, gave the admonition while speaking at a Youth Conference to commemorate the World Children’s Day at theYaba College of Technology(YABATECH) yesterday.
AbdulRaheem urged the students to be morally and spiritually upright so as to excel and build a better future.

“What you do today would determine what you would become tomorrow," AbdulRaheem said.
“To secure a better future, you must first have confidence in yourselves.
"The second is to be focused. Never lose focus on whatever you are doing."
The Amir also advised them to be cautious of the company they keep.

"Also, at every point in your life, you must be conscious of who your friends are and to have total reliance in Allah for He alone knows what is going to be."
Participants from different schools took part in a quiz competition won by Aminat Isaof Fazl-Omar Senior High School.

EKSU organises entrepreneurship orientation for students

The Ekiti State University (EKSU) has made a second attempt to entrench vocational education in the school curriculum by organizing an entrepreneurship orientation for its students with N100,000 loans for capital.

The Ekiti State University(EKSU) has made a second attempt to entrench vocational education in the school curriculum by organizing an entrepreneurship orientation for its students.

EKSU had two months ago introduced a compulsory course titled Entrepreneurship Skill Course (ESC) to students.
Students however protested, faulting the program after they were asked to pay N1000 charges which they labelled extortion.
Now the management is making a second attempt.

The ESC course Director, Dr Abel Awe, said students have a lot to gain from the course which will begin in the current semester.
He noted that the management structured the course to ensure that students go through the theoretical aspects before the practical phase.
“Students must understand the reason they need to take the course and the benefits they can gain from it," Awe said.
"Those in 300-Level and below are the major beneficiaries of this course, because they would have to go through two theoretical aspects before they are allowed to practise.”

A Faculty of art student who spoke to The Nation said the course has no certification and increases students' academic load.
But Awe noted that the course was aimed at making students self-reliant on graduation, not giving addition certification.
“We don’t want to be producing graduates to be unemployed; we want to make our product to be employers of labour,” he said.
He added that start-up capital will not be a problem for the students because the institution had arranged with the Ekiti State Chamber of Commerce and Nigeria Development Bank for to the students to access soft loans of N100,000.
The courses covered are barbing, fish farming and snail rearing, fashion designing, bead making, make-up artistry, catering, furnishing and carpentry, graphic art designing, brick making and printing.
