Federal Govt. to fence University of Maiduguri with N64 Billion

     


THE Federal Government has begun the construction of the 27.3-kilometre perimeter fence for the University of Maiduguri to check incessant attacks by Boko Haram terrorists. The project is valued at N64 billion and it is to stop the terrorists who have been penetrating the North-East part of the institution’s campus.

According to the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities in UNIMAID, Dr Dani Mamman,  only the western and southern parts of UNIMAID campus were initially fenced.

He said, “The UNIMAID perimeter fence is still being constructed. The Federal Government approved N64 bn for the construction kilometre perimeter fence for UNIMAID. That place is very porous.

“The ASUU UNIMAID wrote to the Minister of Education through the ASUU president after an explosion during which we lost a professor and seven other staff.”

The amount budgeted for this project has caused condemnation in the country for being too exorbitant in the current economic climate. The Convener, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju in his statements stated, "We condemn the federal government's proposed plan to construct a 27.3 kilometer perimeter fence around the university of Maiduguri is over bloated, exorbitant, and overtly outrageous.

He continued, "The country currently, is surviving on borrowing and we have seen instances where money meant for projects like this are misappropriated or diverted into private pockets."

The war against insurgency has lingered enough and we believe that the Buhari led administration is not doing enough to tame these monsters killing and maiming our fellow compatriots. The war has turned into a franchise where elites who are beneficiaries of arms deal contracts would do everything to keep their arms and aid business afloat." He added.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split.
