ASUU strike: Students protest, block UI-Mokola road in Ibadan

On Friday, a large number of students demonstrated against the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ continued strike (ASUU).

Because the Federal Government and the union failed to follow the 2009 agreement, the union called a warning strike in February of this year.

Following the expiration of the warning strike, the union decided to extend it for another 12 weeks.

Our correspondent, on the other hand, adds that students in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, held a peaceful protest on Friday to express their dissatisfaction with the strike.

According to reports, the students also blocked the University of Ibadan-Mokola Road in Ibadan during the demonstration.

Solomon Emiola, a University of Ibadan 200-level student, claimed that the protest was important because they were tired of remaining at home.

“Our politicians have continued to play politics with our future,” he remarked. We intend to shut down the entire city of Ibadan till our demands are met.”

In his personal contribution, former TUC Chairman Comrade Andrew Emelieze remarked that the protest sought to “awaken the spirit of students whose rights are being violated by the government.”

C’River guber: How we arrived at APC consensus guber candidate – Ita-Giwa

Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, the former Senate Deputy Minority Leader, said that her seven-member team worked through the night to reduce the list of 17 governorship candidates to four.

Ita-Giwa, who served as Secretary of the committee led by former Senate Majority Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba, said they had invited all APC aspirants in the state to a meeting where they were asked to talk about themselves and, if they didn’t make it, to point to someone who they thought would fit the bill.

She stated as she addressed a big audience of women’s organisations in the state who had gathered to applaud the ruling party’s choice of Senator Prince Bassey Otu as its flagbearer.

“The APC leadership in the State gave our committee 72 hours to reduce the number of aspirants in the party to four.”

“We had a meeting with all of them.” We had them speak about themselves and their achievements. We asked them to take a look at themselves and offer who they think would be the best governor if everyone couldn’t make it.

“After our committee screened the candidates, Prince Bassey Otu received the most private nominations from the majority of them. As a result, the committee targeted him. That is how Otu became the APC’s Cross River State consensus candidate,” she explained.

She praised Governor Ben Ayade for accepting the committee’s suggestion.

She also applauded Ayade for sticking to his commitment that he wanted to pass over to someone from the Cross River Southern District out of fairness and equity.

Senator John Owan-Enoh of the Central District and Chief Chris Agara, an oil and gas entrepreneur, have both expressed strong opposition to the deal.

Chris Agara is “dedicated and prepared to take his governorship quest to its natural end,” according to a statement issued by his campaign’s Director-General, Barrister Richard Ogbeche.

“Our principal was invited to the meeting on Monday, May 9th at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja to examine the findings of the 7-man committee previously set up by the Party and not to settle on any agreement,” he explained.

“That when the issue was raised on the floor of the meeting, our principal stated his doubts about the Consensus Option and declined to participate.”

“He went on to say how the blatant ambush meeting showed tremendous disrespect to some Governorship contenders by asking them to a meeting for a specific reason and then turning around to do something different.”

Owan-Enoh, who ran for the APC in 2019, stated that he would not concede until he had spoken with his throngs of supporters.

Deborah: Atiku’s action shows Nigerian politicians only care about votes – Mr Macaroni

Mr Macaroni, a comedian, has chastised presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar for deleting Facebook and Twitter posts criticising the assassination of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto.

A mob in Sokoto State burned Deborah alive for allegedly disrespecting Prophet Mohammed.

Atiku reportedly deleted his posts because some zealots threatened his presidential campaign in 2023.

In a tweet, Mr Macaroni added that Atiku’s actions demonstrate that politicians do not care about the people and only play to the gallery to win votes.

“Atiku deleting the tweet condemning Deborah’s terrible murder reflects what we have been preaching this entire election season,” he wrote.

“Politicians are unconcerned about the public. When they want our votes, they only play to the crowd. People must be able to see past these ruses.”

Militants kill policeman in Bakassi, others injured

One police officer was killed in a gun battle with suspected militants in Bakassi on Friday morning, according to police.

Irene Ugbo, the Public Relations Officer for the Cross River State Police Command, said the gunfight was tough but they were able to neutralise the group.

“It is not true that the Bakassi militants attacked us and killed two of our men. A police officer was killed.

“We’re still on their tail, and we’ll get them shortly,” she said.

The attack took place at the Ikang jetty in Cross River State’s Bakassi LGA.

According to sources, many more people were hurt during the attack and were taken to the hospital.

The name of the terrorist group was unknown at the time of this publication because no one had claimed credit.

At the jetty, police officers were believed to be on duty.

In retribution for the execution of their commander and the disappearance of another by Cameroonian forces, a pro-Biafra militant group bombed two gunboats about a month ago.

Which Country Has Flattened the Curve for the Coronavirus?

Sugar seems to have developed a reputation as the big bad wolf in relation to health. We have reported on numerous studies associating sugar intake with increased aging, cardiovascular disease, obesity and even cancer. Such research has led to many health experts around the globe calling for reductions in recommended sugar intake, with some saying we should cut out sugar completely. But is it really that bad for our health?

There are many different types, including glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose and sucrose. Some of these sugars, such as glucose, fructose and lactose, occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and other foods. But many of the foods we consume contain “added” sugars – sugar that we add to a product ourselves to enhance the flavor or sugar that has been added to a product by a manufacturer.

The most common sources of added sugars include soft drinks, cakes, pies, chocolate, fruit drinks and desserts. Just a single can of cola can contain up to 7 tsps of added sugar, while an average-sized chocolate bar can contain up to 6 tsps.

It is added sugars that have been cited as a contributor to many health problems. In December 2014, MNT reported on a study in the journal Open Heart claiming added sugars may increase the risk of high blood pressure, even more so than sodium. And in February 2014, a study led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) associated high added sugar intake with increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD).

A 2020 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggested that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increases weight gain in both children and adults, while a review paper from the World Health Organization (WHO) notes an increase in the consumption of such beverages correlates with the increase in obesity.
