23-year-old Nigerian college student identified as Bella was allegedly stabbed by a gang of five while she was waiting for a cab at Hennur, India on July 31.

According to Bella, who sustained a stab injury on her hand, the incident happened when she and her female friends were waiting for an Ola cab near Challakere Bridge at Hennur at 11.30 pm on that fateful day.

A car suddenly came to a screeching halt in front of them and a group of men alighted from the vehicle. They allegedly tried to strike a conversation with them, but police said it was not clear from her complaint what the conversation was all about.


According to police, the accused took out a knife and tried to stab on her abdomen, but Bella fought back and ended up sustaining a cut on her hand. The gang fled the spot when she was profusely bleeding and her friends raised an alarm.


Bella was taken to Live Line hospital and treated for her injury. She reported the case to the police and requested them to take action on the gang of five persons. However, police could not trace her after she was discharged from the hospital.


Deputy commissioner of police (East) N Satish Kumar said:

    "We have taken up the case seriously and are investigating it. The attackers will be caught at the earliest."

According to Hennur police, Bella and her friend were heavily drunk and they were not in a position to tell where they were heading for. Taking advantage of their drunken behaviour, the gang may have sought sexual favours from them. That could have led to the stabbing incident, as per the police, Bangalore Mirror reports.


Though there is a CCTV camera installed nearby, the police could not obtain the registration number of the vehicle the miscreants had come in. When police visited the spot, locals told them that Bella and her friends are often found at the same place late night.

    "We have contacted the Nigerian association and requested them to bring Bella so that we can get details on the appearance of miscreants and on what context the gang approached and what went wrong on that day. They have assured to bring her to the station and we are waiting." said Hennur police.

 Withdrawal of 2016 JAMB admission list a national embarrassment, demoralising

 


Dr Victor Akinola, an educationist, on Wednesday criticized the withdrawal of admission lists by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) from tertiary institutions in the country. Akinola, who is the the Director, Information and Communication Technology at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos, described the withdrawal as an embarrassment.

He spoke against the backdrop of the recent withdrawal of the 2016/2017 admission lists from tertiary institutions by JAMB. JAMB had on July 30 withdrawn the lists of recommended candidates for admissions earlier sent to the tertiary institutions.

Dr Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Media had in a statement explained that the withdrawal was to ensure that the various university senates perform their statutory responsibility. “The withdrawal could have been avoided if the board had planned well before the scrapping of post-UTME.
“The candidates whose names had been sent earlier to the universities would definitely be demoralized. “This unfolding event could have been avoided if there had been proper planning by the board before the scrapping of post UTME,’’ he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). “Democratically, universities should have an upper hand in determining the students to be admitted following the laid down rules and objectives.’’ The don said the opportunity now given to tertiary institutions to choose their candidates should have been the first thing to do before the post-UTME was scrapped.

According to Akinola, the federal government does not have monopoly in terms of admission of candidates into higher institutions. He noted that the federal government could only regulate admissions into its own institutions for balancing. “So also states, regions, individuals, corporate bodies, missionaries establish institutions for different motives and objectives. “The proprietors have their own focus and objectives that do not reflect the federal government’s interest.

Anu Yusuf Marries And Graduates Same Day With A First Class Degree In Law

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/check-out-this-nigerian-student-that.html


A Nigerian Birmingham City University student has married and graduated, with a first-class degree, on the same day. Anu Yusuf, aged 26, received her Law LLB in a ceremony at Symphony Hall alongside hundreds of her fellow students on Wednesday 27 July, wearing a traditional cap and gown. However, merely hours before, Nigeria-born Anu was dressed all in white, as she tied the knot at Birmingham Register Office.

Wedding – Anu Yusuf and Joseph Kolawole Ola marry at Birmingham Register Office Wedding – Anu Yusuf and Joseph Kolawole Ola marry at Birmingham Register Office Anu and her now husband – Joseph Kolawole Ola, aged 27 – met four years ago in Gombe while working as part of Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), and their subsequent engagement was prolonged as a result of her coming to study in the UK.

She said: “My husband often joked that he would whisk me away after my graduation to marry me because he can no longer wait. So, we decided to marry on my actual graduation day!

“Romance aside, it certainly worked well logistically too, as it meant that our relatives only had to travel once for both occasions. We both have family all over the UK and we were conscious of taking up too much of their time and for all the added expense in making the same journey twice.”

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/check-out-this-nigerian-student-that.html


Anu and Joseph’s wedding started at 10.40am with a civil ceremony at Birmingham Register Office. Following the official wedding photography, the entire party headed for a midday blessing at Anu’s church, VBCI Treasure Sanctuary, located at Perry Barr Methodist Church, north of the City.

The service finished at 1pm and all 50 guests were provided with take-away meals packaged up in gift bags. The wedding party enjoyed a traditional Nigerian meal on-the-go, including jollof rice with chicken served with salad, along with gizdodo (gizzard and plantain), moi moi (made from black-eyed peas), and poundo yam with vegetable soup.

All meals were prepared by friends and members of Anu’s church, and drinks were brought by her husband’s pastor from Liverpool, whose wife also made their cake.

Anu added: “My husband and I created a notepad with our names on the front as a ‘thank you’ present for our guests to go in to all the gift bags, so along with all the food, the bags were quite bulky!”

Following a bite to eat, Anu quickly changed from her wedding dress in to another outfit and headed back in to Birmingham city centre for 2pm to collect her cap and gown before receiving her first-class degree.

Half of the wedding party accompanied Anu to Symphony Hall, although she was only allowed the maximum four guests into the actual ceremony, including her husband and two uncles, who were both wedding witnesses. Family members unable to sit inside the actual hall remained outside where they finally had time to enjoy the take-away wedding meal.

By 5pm, the graduation ceremony had come to a close and all Anu and Joseph’s guests were on their way home. “I’d be lying if I was say it wasn’t a relief to get to the end of the day, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. It was so special to have my family and friends present for not one, but two of the most significant milestones in my life, and being able to share it with them all is something that I will treasure forever.”

As well as her Law degree, Anu has supported her studies with part-time work at Birmingham City University, including a role most recently in the International Office there as a Marketing and Communications Assistant.
Parmila Murria is Assistant Director in Birmingham City University’s International Office. She said that Anu was at work just two days before her wedding, so her team gave her a suitable send off.

“Because she was so far away from her friends and family, and had little time to get everything ready, we decided to ease her nerves and have a little celebration of our own. We surprised her with a traditional English afternoon tea, complete with cucumber sandwiches and little cakes.

“None of us could quite believe that two days later she would be getting married and graduating all on the same day, but we were so happy for her and are really proud.” Anu hopes to further her studies by embarking on a PhD in Law and her husband is studying in Bradford at LIFE Church College.

                       A student from Imo State University was shot to death

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/imsu-student-shot-to-death-see-photos.html

 

A student of Imo State University who's name is still Unknown was confirmed dead this morning. He was shot by unknown cultist. 
  A student told giststudents team that the guy who was shot is known to be a cult member, he also told us that the boy is a graduate from the department of Law. He was shot around 1:55pm on Wednesday 2nd August 2016 at Imsu extension gate.

This is the Reasons To Avoid Cultism In School
Because what shall it profit a man that he gains the world and losses his soul? The first pics was his last finest post, while the second was posted by other people without him knowing,  because he laid there lifeless. If this young man had known that just after his graduation, then by 1:55pm on Wednesday 2nd August he would be shot dead, he would have giving his whole life to God. He wouldn't have involved himself with any bad group.

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/imsu-student-shot-to-death-see-photos.html


  But the funny thing is that death doesn't come warning for the unsaved, because they are like chess in the hands of the devil, he plays them how he want.
Pls let us remember the primary reason we are in the university. How will the parent feel when they hear that the son that they have been spending money to train died like this. Pls let us change from bad to good so that the society will be a good place fro every one

HND-Bsc Dichotomy: National Council On Establishment Bridges Gap 

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/hnd-bsc-dichotomy-national-council-on.html

 

It was learn t that the National Council on Establishment has resolved that the entry point for HND holders into the civil service would henceforth be Grade Level 08, just like their bachelor degree holder counterparts.

This is in a bid to end the HND-BSc. dichotomy.

The Council equally approved the postgraduate diploma (PGD) as the bridge programme for holders of the Higher National Diploma (HND) to rise to the peak of their career just like their degree holders counterparts.

Before now, a polytechnic graduate with HND cannot be employed into the civil service on Grade Level 8 and cannot rise beyond Level 15 without additional qualifications (including a master’s degree), while a bachelor’s degree holder enters on Grade Level 08 and can rise to the peak at Grade Level 17 (equivalent of the Permanent Secretary cadre).

If a HND holder aspires to get to that level, he/she will have to obtain a PGD in relevant disciplines and also obtain a master’s degree before attaining the level a bachelors’ degree holder could attain, even without a second degree.

However, with this new development, HND holders will only need to acquire postgraduate diploma in relevant field from an accredited institution/university to attain the same status with their university graduate counterparts.

Federal Government to implement “No Work, No Pay” policy across all Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

The Federal Government has observed with dismay that many Workers’ Unions in Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies are in the habit of embarking on strike actions on the flimsiest of excuses, leading to disruption of services and orderliness in the affected Organizations. It is even more worrisome that, often the issues being canvassed could be amicably resolved through dialogue without resulting to industrial action.
Based on the reasons stated above the Federal Government has brought out some resolutions:
  •   Government has deemed it necessary to remind workers and their respective Unions of the “NO WORK, NO PAY” rule as contained in Section 43 of the Trade Disputes Act Cap T8, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 which states that:
“Where any worker takes part in a strike, he shall not be entitled to any wages or other remuneration for the period of the strike, and any such period shall not count for the purpose of reckoning the period of continuous employment and all rights dependent on continuity of employment shall be prejudiciary affected accordingly”
  • Accordingly, Government is constrained to advise all workers and their unions to respect the laws of the land and desist from participating in illegal strike actions and disruption of services in the MDAS.
  •  Accordingly, all Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Government Agencies are hereby directed to ensure that they strictly enforce this rule.

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/07/ksu-asuu-ends-over-3-month-old-strike.html

 

The over 3-month ASUU strike at the Kogi State University (KSU) is over and classes have resumed.

This to inform the general public that the Over 3 months strike embarked upon by the Kogi State University (KSU) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has been called off.

Hence, academic activities have began and the Senate Meeting is on-going now at the Senate Chambers in the Senate Building.

The Commissioner of Education Enugu State, Professor Uche Eze, In a recent interview, revealed plans by the state government to revamp education.


Eze responded to speculations while Speaking to DailyTrust, that the government is clamping down on private examination centres and school principals.

He said, "we have punished so many of our teachers who were supervisors of SSCE for getting involved in one form of malpractice or the other. We are doing these things to serve as deterrent. We also noticed that some private schools are involved in some of these things. In fact, by mid-July there will be an announcement of two private schools we have closed down.

We shut them down; one, for running a substandard school and also for engaging in examination malpractice. It is not acceptable," he added.

"During the exams, I moved around with my team and unfortunately, we discovered that some people did not heed to what we preached. In fact, we are still contemplating sanctioning more schools. I can remember the name of one school involved in malpractices and when I got the report I ordered that the principal be removed immediately and made a classroom teacher because he is not worthy of that position or bring up our children.

Basically, I think we have removed five principals or more for one offence or the other because we agreed that the only way to restore and build a proper system is to ensure discipline. Everybody must be held accountable, starting from the commissioner. I have to play according to the rules; the chairman of the board has to play according to the rules, likewise the principals. When all of us that serve as models do the right thing, definitely the children will follow."

He expressed that he believed it is only by being a hands-on commissioner that he will be able to make the right changes in the education sector. He mentioned that he had visited 17 local government areas of the state and over 200 and primary and secondary schools.

              Best way to make money in Nigeria while still a student.

How to make as a student by giststudents
How to make money as a student by giststudent.com


Many students have been having this problem of not having money to solve little problems in school.


What is the reason?

In every institution there are three (3) types of students:

1.     Students that try their best to find a means to get money while they are still in school but only depend on the little they get from it.

2.     Students that believe that is only when they finish school that they will start looking for money

3.     Students that want to make money while in school but don’t know how.

These are the 3 categories of students in every institution. We the Giststudents team have call it a duty to opine on this matter.


Ø Student that try their best to get money but depend on the little, should know that depending on the little you get will still make you to be in need because when big problem comes, you won’t be able to solve it and that will make you start looking for where to get money. This then mean you have to find more means on how to make more money.


Ø Students who thinks that is only when they finish school that they need job should have this in mind that “70% of students are jobless”. By having something doing when you are still in school will help you build something before you finish school and this will make you to be independent after school or you can be doing it until you get a job that pay more than that one.

Ø Students who want to start making money in school but don’t know how to start or things to do. Don’t worry this post is for you.

We are going to show you the most best 7 ways to make money while still in school. Now let get started.

                    7 ways to make money as a student

1.     Apply for new scholarship and grants. This is the first thing to do as a student when you enter into any institution. Applying for a scholarship will help to lower some of the payment you have to make, like your school fees. If you can get a scholarship that will pay your school fees, you can then use the money your parent gave you for school fees and do another thing. A lot of students think that they are only eligible for funding when they initially apply for admission. This is a mistake! There are often new scholarship opportunities for upper level students, though they aren’t always widely advertised. You may also be able to apply for external scholarships, which are offered from groups outside of your school. So begin by scoping out bulletin boards on your campus and paying careful attention to any information you get in your department group or any society you may belong.

2.     Offer your services as a tutor and sell materials. One of the best way to learn a subject is to teach it. By becoming a tutor, you can hone your own knowledge of your field of study, perform a valuable service to others, and earn some needed cash. It’s a win-win scenario for everyone involved! You can pick a subject you think you know a bit about it and start teaching it to other students. Remember you don’t need to know everything in that subject to start, the more you teach the more you understand. You can write materials on that subject for students to buy. Students who sell materials in any institution make up to #100,000 gain in all the materials they sell per semester.

Open a salon by giststudents
3.     Open a salon in your hostel/lodge (or make house calls). This one is mostly for girls but also boys that engage in this make much money than girls. If you are talented at doing nails, hair, or make-up, consider advertising your services to your friends and course mates, especially before big events like fresher’s night or Valentine’s Day. Students who are into this biz make much money from it.

creativity by giststudents
4.     Use your own creativity. When I said creativity, I mean many things. There is no joy than the joy you get when you get money from the things you know. If you are a fast and accurate typist, if you are great at creating interesting presentations with sophicated graphics, or if you excel at creating tables and graphs to represent data, are you good in developing App, can you create a website, can you use the internet to register course and other online form. If yes to any of this, then count yourself as someone with a potential. You will get money by helping other students with the assignment that relate to the one you know. You can create a website for company, your department (if they don’t have one). You can also create an App that will get you much money.

Start a blog or Website
.Have your own blog or website. Blogging is one of the best way to make money as a student. Many people said that blogging don’t pay but I tell you today that blogging still pay, it all depend on you. Blogging is one of the ways to express your knowledge to the world. If you want to know how to create a blog click here. There are so many ways to make money in blogging, you can check them out here. If you’ve ever seen the film The Social Network then you’ve most likely had your brain spinning as to what website you can start-up to make you billions. And of course there are lots of stories out there about successful students who have started a site while at university, or even bought a domain name and later sold it for 1000s. In fact, Save the Student is one such example of a website started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and successful enterprise. Read Debug’s 4-step guide to setting up a website if you’re interested in finding out more. It’s really not that difficult to get started and there are plenty of opportunities to make money online.
 
Start Affliating Marketing
6.     Affiliate marketing: If you’ve got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online. Sign up to an affiliate network such as AffiliateWindow, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your link you’ll make a nice commission. To take it a step further, set up a website or a topical Facebook page and invite all your friends to join it and post your affiliate offers on there.

Polities
7.     Polities: YES Polities. This is another way to make money as a student, many students became great in future due to their involvement in polities. Many of them got their shop, cars, house, popularity, etc. through polities. Many people have the mind that polities is a dirty game so for that reason I won’t get involved with it. But let me tell you that, why you allow your mind to be occupy by that is because you refused to take risk in life. Those that are into it did they have two heads? The answer is NO! “Polities” not only the money side, it also build people in the area of thinking and ways to handle some problems. So take the chance, who knows you may become the next SUG president of your institution.
