As the demolition of houses take place along airport road


Over a hundred houses have been demolished along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. Billions of Naira just like that gone down the drain! 

Personally it brings me to some questions..
If at all these home owners will get any compensation?
Also, why did the government allow these structures to get to this level if they were illegal? 

This is really sad

Over 100 people arrested over Mubi killing


Security agencies said yesterday that they have arrested over 100 suspects, including students of the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, over the killing of at least 25 students of the school on Monday night.

The Adamawa State Police Command didn't release the identity of those arrested but said not all the people arrested are guilty or are directly connected with the crime. They said those found innocent would be released.

A security agent said some of those killed were students of the school that recently won executive posts in the students' union government (SUG) election held recently. He also said there was insider factor in the crime because many of the victims were called by their names before they were killed.

Investigation into the killings is still in progress

Obama vs. Romney; Romney wins first presidential debate?



President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney squared off in their first face-to-face presidential debate last night Wednesday Oct 3rd, and according to CNN phone poll, Romney won by a margin. 67% for Romney and 25% for Obama

Romney needed a win, and from what I'm reading online, it looks like he got it. I didn't watch the debate...was sleeping...but they say Romney came out swinging. Did you watch the debate? Did it harm Obama?

MGT 360 mid-term exam


 Yesterday, the 3rd of October, we the students of the mgt 360 class wrote our midterm exam and I would say if you concentrate, take notes and revise, it couldn't have been that difficult. May be a bit confusing though. LOL!! 

I learnt something new during the test. Putting your head up to make eye contact with the instructor brings about suspicion. 

After the class, I reasoned with what the instructor said and it made actual sense. If you focus on what your doing and concentrate on the paper, you have no reason to look around or at the instructor. It kind of just gives the signal that says your checking if the instructor is distracted or so.

Topic of the day: Do we not have a right to know what is going with our first lady?


First, we heard that our first lady had food poisoning and had to be flown abroad for treatment. Then we heard she had Parkinson, and died. Now we hear she's being treated for cancer of the uterus at a hospital in Germany. All these speculations!

Dame Patience Jonathan has been MIA for over a month now and there has not been an official statement regarding her whereabouts from the presidency. Does it not make sense for President Jonathan to address the nation and maybe tell us what's up with our first lady? Does he owe us that, or is it a private matter that he can choose not to talk about? 

Please share your thoughts
