Beautiful Female Student Bags First Class in UNIZIK, Breaks A 10 Years Record (Photos)

It seems to be a harvest of First class degrees and setting of records in the Nigerian higher institutions as another young Nigerian lady has made history in the South-eastern part of the country. Naijaloaded has learned that Miss Obidinma Sylvia Ijeoma who is convocating today, 17th of March, 2016 has bagged a first class degree in Banking and Finance from the prestigious Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka in Anambra state. The beautiful lady who is well conveted and admired by several male colleagues has successfully joined the list of history-making individuals in the school’s Department of Banking and Finance which has never recorded a female first class graduate in the last 10 years. The great feat of Obidinma Sylvia Ijeoma follows a memory lane of brilliance as she also bagged a distinction in her one year Diploma programme in the same discipline, Banking and Finance. According to her friends, Obidinma Sylvia Ijeoma is a very hardworking student that leaves no stone unturned as far as academic issues are concerned which has singled her out as the best among her equals. Ijeoma’s celebration is currently incomplete as a cash prize of N1 million accrued to her iconic achievement is to be denied her simply because she is not from Anambra state.

Photo of the day! Lol

My husbands niece from the village came to stay with us because I recently put to bed and needed help with the house work. The girl is lovely and funny. She was nice so I bought her some nice cloths and made her hair. The real drama began last weekend when I bought her a tecno camera phone and ever since she has been taking photos anywhere.

You need to see the excitement that ordinary phone and few new cloths gave to her. So yesterday, we were headed to my shop and we had to cross the railway. She has never seen one in her life and she was ecstatic. she pleaded that I snap her so she can show her friends in the village that she is now a city girl. I wanted to explain it was unnecessary but she insisted.

I have been looking at the photos and can stop laughing. Its amazing how small things we have no value for some can mean so much to some other people. I have promised her that she wont go back to the village anymore. I will register her for WAEC and hopefully she will go to a higher institution.

The 7 Reasons Why Nigerians Are Happy People...

The United Nations has released its 2016 ranking of happiest nations and Denmark is on top of the list while Burundi is the least happy nation. Our dearly beloved Nigeria is placed 103rd country making it the happiest country in West Africa. Of course, we know it’s not as high as Algeria which is on the 38th rank or Mauritius or Libya on 66th and 67th respectively, but we try to be happy, really. And we’ll be highlighting some of the reasons why Nigerians are happy people. 1. Football Football is one reason Nigerians are happy. All over the country, there are groups of people – old and young alike who take football as a way of life. There are even social tournaments now such as the Socialiga and the TPL 2. Food Food makes us so happy – so happy that we could forget our sorrows whenever we eat. From the woman who screams okpa di oku in Enugu, to the people at White House and their bomb ass rice and stew, to the Hausa mishai who’s making noodles in Lagos. Not to forget the dope ass party jollof rice. 3. Music Don’t mess with Nigerians. Whether we hear “It’s Young John the Wicked Producer” or “Legendury Beatz” or some old Nigerian musician from way back, we love music and we enjoy listening all the time. It may be on our headset or in the barbing salon when you’re cutting your hair, you feel slightly better with the right music. 4. Party Nigerians love to party. We love to wear our favorite clothes and expensive jewelry and come out and dance. We love the thrill that comes with parties – be it weddings, birthdays and even nightlife. You know we throw the best parties and sometimes for the flimsiest of excuses 5. The Hustle It may come off as tiring but the hustle for the good life keeps us happy. Better put, the quest for the good good life makes us grind so hard we don’t feel it. That is the spirit of the average Nigerian. 6. Dance From Shakitibobo to Yahoozee and back to Shoki, we love to wiggle and go down low and just shake body! In the line of a P-Square song “Even if you get money, dey jolly dey shake body.” 7. Social Media Like it or hate it, social media keeps a lot of Nigerians happy. In a city where ther are people who have no off hours except on the weekend, social media is their one tool to meet new people and build new relationships and we cherish it a lot. From Facebook updates to tweets and subliminal messages and Instagram, or Snapchat videos, we love them all.

Boko Haram Terrorists Fell Into their Own Trap – Army

Troops of 81 Battalion and 251 Task Force Battalion of 25 Task Force Brigade on Wednesday engaged in hot pursuit of remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in Kumala. This followed an earlier incident in which suspected Boko Haram terrorists ambushed fighting patrol elements of 25 Task Force Brigade. After clearing the ambush, the troops exploited further off Damboa road from Kumala. During the pursuit, the troops traced the axis of withdrawal of the terrorists and discovered that the terrorist vehicle mounted with an Anti-Aircraft Gun tasted a bit of the Boko Haram terrorists’ evil intents as it ran into an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) buried by them. The vehicle was shredded into pieces by the IED while 2 of the Boko Haram terrorists died in the process. The troops recovered 1 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), 2 AK-47 Assault Rifles as well as one Boko Haram terrorists’ flag, 6 primed IEDs, Anti-Aircraft Gun links and rounds of ammunition. Other recoveries include 43 rounds of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition and a mobile telephone handset. This incident of the terrorists group falling victims of its evil plans against the troops, the wrath of God has been aroused by the retributive justice against the devilish Boko Haram terrorists. Lets keep praying and hoping.

Nigerian Politicians Are The Most Difficult To Deal With In The World – attahiru Jega

Former INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has described Nigerian politicians as the “most difficult to deal with in the world”. Jega made the remarks at Chatham House in London yesterday in an interactive session after delivering a lecture titled: ‘Challenges of Modernising Election Processes: the Nigerian Experience’.

“When I was vice-chancellor, I thought students were the most difficult to deal with”, he said, but added that at INEC, he found out that politicians in Nigeria were the most difficult to relate with. He said despite efforts aimed at “carrying the politicians along” by keeping them abreast with INEC activities and initiatives, the politicians would later turn round to reject what they approved or accused the commission of trying to favour rival parties if things were not going the way they wanted.

He said both the former government and the National Assembly approved funds for smart card readers and permanent voters cards, among others, after being convinced of their necessity in ensuring credible elections, but when it dawned on them that they would not be able to manipulate elections as they did in the past, they strongly opposed the initiatives.

Describing Nigerian politicians as dogged and adept at pursuing their interests by “hook or crook”, Prof. Jega said the politicians could easily change tunes and cry foul when they realise that issues do not favour them or they could not manipulate them for their personal gains.

He attributed the huge success of the 2015 general elections to the adoption of technology in both the planning, management and conduct of the elections, and expressed optimism that “transparent and credible elections have come to stay in Nigeria”. He listed funding, people’s suspicion of technology and aversion to changes by politicians, security of data, qualified manpower, among others, as some of the challenges of using technology in the conduct of transparent and acceptable elections.

He recommended partnerships between nascent African democracies with donor and development partners to make the necessary technological tools affordable, ICT capacity building, quality assurance, specification and standardisation of facilities to make them adaptable by electoral bodies in Africa.
