But when she shows her face again she looks perfectly fine, unbothered and she still manages to smile and go about her business like nothing happened,” Peter wrote.

In reaction, Erica reshared the post on her Instastory with a caption that says ‘Me,’ as she could relate it completely with herself.

See the snapshot below;

A 21-year-old Law School graduand, Amarachi Nickabugu, Saturday narrated how her parents motivated her into making first class honours in the recent result released by the Council of Legal Education of the Nigerian Law School.

Nickabugu,  a product of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, UNEC, was one of the 20 students who bagged first class honours out of 5,770 who sat for the Bar Final Examinations conducted in March this year.

In an interview with Vanguard at the university town of Nsukka, she narrated how her parents motivated her to go extra mile in order to earn first class honours from the Nigerian Law School.

While describing the feat as a dream come true for herself, parents and siblings, she bemoaned the communication gap between the students and management of the Law School.

She equally said that a lot could be done to improve on the infrastructure at the Kano State Campus of the School, recalling that the place has become a haven for reptiles as the Management, sometimes, allows the bushes to overgrow prompting snakes to encroach on the students’ hostels. “I was frightened to the bone marrow the day I saw a snake at my doorstep in the hostel,” she told Vanguard.

While narrating her experiences at the Law School, she said “I feel mostly relieved graduating from Law School because the programme was very demanding. Also, our programme was interrupted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so, a lot of adjustments were made. The challenge of the pandemic on the programme began when Federal Government declared lockdown and asked tertiary institutions in the country to shutdown due to the coronavirus.

“During the lockdown, the Law School Management organised online classes. We used online platforms to receive videos and audio recordings of lectures. It was difficult for me to keep up with because the online materials were voluminous and Internet data-sapping. Some of them could not enter my phone, so, I couldn’t store them for future references. I stayed online all the time, either downloading the materials or reading them. At a point, I was not able to cope with the demands of the online lectures.

“I must say that as much as the Law School had the good intention of facilitating learning considering the circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic, a lot more could have been done to make online classes a lot easier for the students. In a country that has earned the negative tag of the poverty capital of the world, there could have been provisions for the  financially-less-privileged students to cope with the demands of the online classes.

“I had to read textbooks to make up for online classes I could not keep up with. It required more efforts on the students. Some of the online materials were insufficient. I had to search for other materials on my own as supplement for the insufficiencies.

“We had to watch some of the materials live, and some required up to 500 megabits of data to download. I might be privileged to get most of the financial supports I needed from my parents, but I know that some students may not have such privileges. Some of the voluminous materials could have been compressed for easier download from the Internet. I know the management had the best of intentions for that, but a lot could have been done to make the experience easier for the students.

“I am really proud of myself graduating with first class honours because it took a lot of efforts, commitment and consistency to achieve this feat.”

Speaking about the factors that motivated her, Nickabugu who hails from Olido in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State said “My mother would always tell me to make first class honours for her even if I didn’t need it. She was a key player in my motivation story. I know that my father, Barr. Nick Abugu, had expectations too. He knew the calibre of children he has, at least, from the academic point of view. He is a Lawyer too. I knew it would give him a sense of pride if I graduate with first class from the Law School. Though, I am self-motivated person myself, my parents and siblings fired me up for this glory.”

Vanguard equally gathered from an online news site, The Nigerianlawyer.com that out of the 5,770 students who sat for the examinations, 432 made second class upper division, while 2,172 made second class lower division.

1,723 graduated with pass category, 35 others earned conditional pass, while 1,325 failed the examinations. It was equally learnt that 60 students were absent from the examinations.

According to a document endorsed by the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof. Isa Hayatu Chiroma, the Call to the Bar ceremonies for the successful candidates has been slated for 27th, 28th and 29th of this month at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday ordered the military to crush bandits operating in Zamfara and Kaduna in the language they understand.

Former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has gone back to school to pick a Masters degree in a university in the UK.

Adesina made this known while delivering the convocation lecture for the graduating students of American University of Nigeria, in Yola on Saturday.

Adesina said Atiku is studying for a Masters’ degree in international relations.

He started schooling at the age of eight, attending Jada Primary School.

After completing his primary school education in 1960, he was admitted into Adamawa Provincial Secondary School in the same year.

He graduated from secondary school in 1965 with a Grade 3 in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

Following secondary school, Abubakar studied a short while at the Nigeria Police College in Kaduna.

He left the College when he was unable to present an O-Level Mathematics result, and worked briefly as a Tax Officer in the Regional Ministry of Finance, from where he gained admission to the School of Hygiene in Kano in 1966.

He graduated with a Diploma in 1967, having served as Interim Student Union President at the school.

In 1967 he enrolled for a Law Diploma at the Ahmadu Bello University Institute of Administration, on a scholarship from the regional government.

After graduation in 1969, during the Nigerian Civil War, he was employed by the Nigeria Customs Service.

He retired from the Customs in April 1989 and plunged into politics and business.

Yakubu Gowon an elder statesman and a past military Head of State has cautioned youths in the country against agitating for another civil war in Nigeria.

Gowon says it may spell permanent doom for Nigerians.

The former military Head of State warned that a new civil war will also take Nigeria backward in unimaginable dimensions.

Gowon who was represented by former Governor of Bauchi State, Major General Chris Abutu Garuba described war as an unpleasant situation.

He noted that those who have fallen victims to it would not wish that Nigeria goes into another one outside of the one fought between 1967 and 1970.

The elder statesman expressed concerns over the growing tension among the youths and appealed to the federal government to take up the challenge.

A professor of African History, Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac Olawale Albert who spoke at the event said war would only escalate the problems confronting the nation.

“If you see war, you will run. It is only those who have never seen war that can call for it. It does not pay anyone.”

He cautioned those beating the drums of war, stating that Nigerians would gain nothing from it in the end.

She described Samuel as a loving, peaceful, loyal, and hardworking executive member of APC in Oriade LCDA.

Hassan, while speaking with Vanguard over the unfortunate incident, narrated how it occurred, thus:
Hassan, however, stressed that the gruesome murder had nothing to do with the campaign flag-off exercise as all the nine candidates vying for elective positions during the July 24 local government election in the state, were unanimously adopted by APC leaders and members in Oriade LCDA, during the just in concluded local government party primaries.

The council chairman,who was a former member of the state House of Assembly commiserated with the family of the deceased and all members of APC in the council area.

She urged the State Police to carry out a thorough investigation over the unfortunate and bring to book the perpetrators of the dastardly act.

Other candidates who received the party’s flags were: Vice Chairmanship candidate, Moshood Badmus, and seven councillorship candidates in the council area.

The party chairman, Sabitiu, and the apex leader, Prince Sekoni, after the handing over of the flags to candidates, urged party members and eligible voters in Oriade LCDA to come out en masse on July 24 to vote for APC candidates.

The Leader of the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives, Hon. Kingsley Chinda has mocked Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed over the security situation in the country.

Chinda, who represents Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency in Rivers State, said that only the Minister thinks the nation’s security situation is improving.

He said that Nigerians were more interested in seeing results rather than be told what the government was doing to combat insecurity in the country.

Chinda’s comment came hours after 35 persons were confirmed killed after attacks by bandits on five communities in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Speaking on the security situation in the country, Chinda said, “I don’t think anybody, except Lai Mohammed, will tell us there is an improvement in the security situation in the country.

The Sokoto State Police Command has arrested one Isma’ila Sani Isah for allegedly posting a blasphemous comment against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on his social media platform.

Sani was said to have made the alleged comment in protest of not getting a local government job.  In the post, Isah accused one man in their area of denying him offer despite his financial problem.

The Sokoto State Government in a statement on Friday, July 9, condemned in strongest terms the blasphemy against the Prophet, adding that the suspect has been apprehended and investigations are ongoing.

The state Commissioner for Information, Hon. Isah Bajini Galadanci, who stated this while briefing newsmen on behalf of Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at Government House, Sokoto, said the suspect will be brought before a competent court of law upon completion of investigation.

He warned that henceforth the state government would not condone such acts against Prophet Muhammad (SAW) or any other prophet of God or His scriptures.

The commissioner added that already the government, in collaboration with the security agencies and other relevant authorities, are taking necessary steps to ensure that appropriate measures are taken against the offender, stating that already the suspect has been apprehended and investigations are ongoing, consequent upon which he will be brought before a competent court of law to face justice accordingly.

According to him, Gov. Tambuwal has cautioned against the politicization of the issue, saying that it is time for all citizens of the state to unite on matters such as this

The governor commended the coalition of youths who inspite of partisan divides came together and approached relevant authorities, rather than taking the law into their hands.

Tambuwal, therefore urged people in the state to maintain peace and order as all necessary measures are on course to address the matter.

Meanwhile, some youths in Sokoto had on Thursday, stormed the palace of Sultan Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar and demanded the arrest of Sani. 

The youths who were armed with placards, among which read “We are calling on the Sultanate Council to take the necessary measure against the perpetrator” and “Isma’il, must die” among others stormed the palace around 5pm.

They were, however, denied entry by armed policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer of Marina police station, Chief Superintendent M Y Maru.

Maru, while addressing them, pleaded for calm, saying the suspect was under detention at the Criminal Investigation Department of the state command.

"We have arrested the suspect. He is currently under detention at the CID office and i can lead your leaders to the headquarter to confirm,” he said

At the police headquarters, the deputy Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Abdullahi, while receiving leaders of the youths assured them that the suspect would be arraigned before a Shari’ah court on Monday.

Meanwhile a Facebook user, Nafiu Romo also took to the platform to call for Isah's arrest

Former military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) has said that insecurity has set education in the northern part of the country backward by 20 years.

According to Abdulsalami, many children of school age can no longer go to school while those in schools are being kidnapped.
