Ghen Ghen!!! UNIOSUN Set To Strictly Flush Out 4,000 Students Who Invested Their School Fee In MMM


Ghen Ghen!!! UNIOSUN Set To Strictly Flush Out 4,000 Students Who Invested Their School Fee In MMM

Management of the University of Osun, UNIOSUN, has threatened to expel over 4,000 students for allegedly using their school fees to “invest” in popular Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, MMM and other purpose.

A statement issued by the acting registrar of the institution, Gafar Shitu disclosed that the affected students are owing fees amounting to over N2bn.

According to the statement, “Over 4000 students of Osun State University may lose their studentship for failing to pay their school fees before the expiration of February 28, 2017, deadline set by the university management.

“No fewer than 400 parents/guardians of the defaulting students have called the University help lines to report that they had long given money to their children/wards

“The university Senate at its meeting of January 26, 2017, after observing that a large number of students had refused to turn up in spite of ceaseless appeals, decided that the students’ portal be reopened longer into the 12th week of resumption against the four weeks stipulated in the University regulations.

“The decision of the University Senate, which was adequately communicated to all the students on February 2, 2017, was to afford more students the opportunity to pay their fees with effect from 17th to 24th February 2017, a date which was later extended until February 28, 2017.

“On 16 February 2017, some students embarked on a protest against the enforcement of extant rules and regulations regarding fee payment and registration.

“Investigations show that over 90 percent of the protesters had not registered for between two and 11 semesters, and were thus using the stipulated late registration penalty of N10, 000 as a smokescreen for their years of defaulting in fee payment and registration.”

SEXY AT WORK? ...Woman claims she was sacked for being too good looking


Woman claims she was sacked for being too good looking

A 24-year-old female television worker, Emma Hulse, has claimed she was sacked from her job because she was ‘too good looking’.

MirrorUK reports that Miss Hulse who was hired as a freelance runner, claims production firm UNIT TV, located in Soho, told her to go home during a shift because ‘she should be on a catwalk’. 

She was however sent a message by her agent barely five minutes after starting work telling her she was ‘no longer required’.


Miss Hulse said: ‘

I was quite disappointed to be sent home. I didn’t really know what to do. Maybe that company employs plain looking people and maybe if you don’t look that way they don’t take you, maybe I was a distraction.’

She went on to say that she did not wear anything provocative as many might be thinking. She said she was wearing a shirt and trousers and ‘did not look inappropriate’ and had never been sent home before ‘because of her looks’.

But the company owner, Adam Luckwell, told the Mirror Miss Hulse was dismissed following a three month probation period.

He said there were a number of things they found out in which they were not happy with.

It Is Happening Again!!! South Africans Burn, Destroy Nigerians Houses In SA… Tell A Friend To Tell A Friend To Be Careful!


It Is Happening Again!!! South Africans Burn, Destroy Nigerians Houses In SA… Tell A Friend To Tell A Friend To Be Careful!

At least 15 houses either belonging or rented by immigrants, especially Nigerians, have been burnt by angry residents in Rosettenvile, south of Johannesburg.

The residents are reported to be angry that foreign nationals had turned the neighbourhood into a drug haven.

According to Africa Review, some shops belonging to foreign nationals in the area were also looted on Sunday.

South African residents in the area claim Nigerians had illegally taken over most property and turned them into drug and prostitution dens.

Marc Gbaffou, African Diaspora Forum (ADM) chairperson, confirmed the attacks and blamed Herman Mashaba, Johannesburg mayor, for his inflammatory comments.

Early last December, Mashaba told a media conference that illegal immigrants got there criminally and should be treated as such.

During a visit to Rosettenville on Friday, he made claims that foreign nationals were using girls as young as nine as prostitutes in ‘drug houses’.

“According to community members, these homes are illegally occupied by Nigerian foreign nationals who run the homes as brothels and have girls as young as nine years old working as prostitutes,” he said.


“Many of the women in these brothels are also alleged to have no official identification documentation.”

Gbaffou said it was reckless for the mayor to make such a statement without proof.

“What proof does he have that foreigners are running these brothels? His remarks are very inflammatory, and it makes no difference that he has diverted from illegal immigrants to drug peddling. It is very dangerous and we see it as propaganda of hatred,” he said.

A community leader, Andile Tshem, called on residents to desist from violence, adding that it was high time law enforcement agents took action against criminals.

“We don’t encourage this at all, you cannot correct a wrong with another wrong. South African people must not be living on the streets when foreigners are using houses as brothels,” he said.

Police have arrested a man found in one of the houses that was set alight in Rosettenville.

Some Nigerians in Johannesburg took to Twitter to express their anger.

FG Recovers Another $151million And N8billion Looted Funds


FG Recovers Another $151million And N8billion Looted Funds

The Federal Government has recovered another $151million and N8billion from three sources.

The recovery of the looted funds comes hot on the heels of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC’s recovery of $9.8million and 72,000 pounds sterling from the Kaduna home of a former NNPC GMD, Andrew Yakubu.

Revealing the recent recovery which was made possible through whistle-blowers, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in a statement released on Sunday in Lagos noted that the recovered loot is not part of the cash recovered from the former NNPC GMD.

Lai Mohammed said: “The biggest amount of $136.7m was recovered from an account in a commercial bank, where the money was kept under an apparently fake account name.


“This was followed by N7bn and $15m from another person and N1bn from yet another.”

Lal Mohammed further noted that the whistle-blower policy instituted by the president Muhammadu Buhari administration has started yielding positive result in recovering the funds mindlessly looted by officials during the previous administration.

He said: “The whistle-blower policy is barely two months old and Nigerians have started feeling its impact, how a few people squirrelled away public funds.

“It is doubtful if any economy in the world will not feel the impact of such mind-boggling looting of the treasury as was experienced in Nigeria.

“Yet whatever has been recovered so far, including the $9.2m by the EFCC, is just a tip of the iceberg.”

The minister further reminded Nigerians of the whistle blower policy adding that “if there is a voluntary return of stolen or concealed public funds or assets on the account of the information provided, the whistle blower may be entitled to anywhere between 2.5 per cent (Minimum) and 5.0 per cent (Maximum) of the total amount recovered.”
