It’s unsafe to reopen varsities now, Covid-19 guidelines absent – ASUU

Branches of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Sunday assessed COVID-19 protocols in the universities and said the institutions were not ready for safe reopening.

The chapters of the union, in separate interviews with The Punch, commented on the directive of the  National Universities Commission that universities could resume on January 18, but must adhere to COVID-19 protocols in hostels and lecture halls.

ASUU said although its members  were ready to start work, government had not put measures in place for safe reopening of the schools.

ASUU’s concern came amid coronavirus cases and deaths, which rose to 99,063 and 1,350  respectively on Saturday.

The union Chairman at the Obafemi Awolowo, University, Osun State, Dr Adeola Egbedokun, in an interview with one of Punch correspondents, said  classroom and hostel situations in universities did not in any way conform with  COVID-19 protocols.

Egbedokun further said no preparations had been made so far for the safe re-opening of the universities and urged parents to insist on safety before re-opening.

He said, “COVID-19 is very real and this second wave is as real as described. We cannot afford to toy with our health and the health of our dear students in the name of resumption, which is politically motivated.

“There are no preparations for safe re-opening of the universities and I think parents must insist on safe re-opening. The current classroom and hostel configurations in our universities do not in any way conform with the PTF (Presidential Task Force) on  COVID-19 protocols. There is no way universities can achieve that. I have said this elsewhere, that rather than for government to have addressed the obvious deficits in the public universities during the lockdown and strike, they were playing to the gallery.”

But the OAU spokesperson, Abiodun Olanrewaju, said the university management was ready for resumption and had put in place “a lot in relation to the COVID-19 protocols” in a bid to ensure safety.

ASUU at the Federal University of Agriculture,  Abeokuta  said the university was not ready to cope with COVID-19 challenges.

The Chairman of ASUU-FUNAAB,  Dr Adebayo Oni, in an interview with one of our correspondents on Sunday,  stated,  “The lectures halls are overcrowded.  As of today, in my own campus,  I have not seen any facility for hand washing  Who is to provide sanitisers? Do you expect lecturers to provide sanitisers for themselves?

“Fumigation of the environment from time to time should be done, How do you cope with students surge and  the challenge of power supply ?”

Oni said the union had observed that conducting physical lectures with students would be more disastrous.

He described   as alarming,  figure  of COVID-19.  He said, “It is definitely  a threat to the resumption of academic activities .

“The fact is that under this circumstance and looking at the threat of  the figure, going physical  with students would be more disastrous.  Conducting physical session, physical lectures  with students would be more disastrous.

“The truth of  the matter is that  we now propose a mixed model of  online teaching and probably  some level of physical teachings .

“Even the online  teaching also comes with  its own  facilities  which are not readily  available .

“We don’t want to be pessimistic to say that it is not going to be workable. However , it is going to be at the risk of  our lives and the lives of our students if the required facilities are not  provided by the government.

“The truth  is that the facilities to cope with the pandemic are not  available in our institutions . It appears the government is not ready and our institutions are not helpful.”

Dele Momodu and President Buhari's aide, Lauretta Onochie tear each other apart on social media

Dele Momodu has responded to the attack from Lauretta Onochie, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Social Media.

Onochie called Momodu, the king of scavengers after the publisher of Ovation magazine stated that Muhammadu Buhari has failed.

Why reacting to a tweet attacking him for supporting Buhari in 2015, Dele Momodu said: “I did not bring Buhari. I did what most reasonable Democrats would have done in the circumstance of PDP’s failure after 16 years in power by trying the next most electable candidate and when he failed tried the next, Atiku, and that is the essence and risk and flaw in Democracy!!.”

Responding to Dele Momodu’s comment, Lauretta Onochie said: “He (Buhari) “Failed” because he won’t dish out cash for photos that can easily be obtained on Instagram and other picture apps. #BabaNoDeyDrop.

“Because #BabaNoDeyDrop, your ego-massaging, ostentatious and filthy-wealth-flaunting customers, can no longer afford you. Try Diversification.”

In another tweet, Onochie wrote: KING OF SCAVENGERS! Hahaha! Look who’s talking…

DELE MOMODU IS SYNONYMOUS WITH SCAVENGING. Dele Momodu has a scavenging history. I don’t.

Here is a short history of his scavenging:

He latched onto late Chief MKO Abiola years ago.

Scared of Gen. Abacha, he went into exile.

He returned to Nigeria and latched onto Gen. Sani Abacha and began to scavenge from him, didn’t he?

Then he latched onto the nouveau riche in Nigeria.

After them, he latched on to Pres. Buhari. But #BabaNoDeyDrop. He even dried up the taps of the emergency millionaires that Dele latched unto.

So to former VP. Atiku he ran. That was not profitable. He didn’t win the presidency so the serial scavenger ran off.

From Atiku he ran and latched onto a former Ghanaian President.

Ghanaians brought him down to the ground and used his face to wipe the floor during their last presidential election.

Now Dele is looking for how to get off the Ghanaian floor and he’s angry with our President again.

He thinks I’m the reason his scavenging is not producing results. He thinks i have taken his place.

Who wants to buy photos that I have already shared on the Social Media? He’s busy eating his vomit that he cannot reason properly.

You’re not the only one affected by the downturn of the world economy. I’ll help you. Try diversification, it won’t kill you. Some states are recruiting teachers. Retrain and see if you’ll have a proper job. Or open a restaurant.

President Buhari is diversifying the Nigerian economy and it’s working. Nigeria recently moved from the 46th to the 25th richest nation in the world, contrary to the expectations of unpatriotic angry birds like you. And You dare call him a failure. You King of scavengers!

Keep speaking from your wild imaginations, insulting the President and his Vice, and I’ll keep stuffing your mouth full of bitter facts.

Dele Momodu, in response to the attack, described Lauretta as a troublesome woman.

He said: “Once again, my attention has been drawing to the tweets by a troublesome woman called Lauretta who claims to be working for President Muhammadu Buhari on social media but continues to attract public odium to the exalted office of the Nigerian President. Here’s my simple response.

“Lauretta is obviously peeved that I described her as a scavenger in the corridor of power. I stand by that assessment and assertion. If she has any iota of shame, she would’ve resigned after her nomination was sent to the national assembly, but rejected, as an INEC Commissioner…

“Lauretta was promptly and soundly rejected by a national assembly that is largely controlled by the ruling party APC and the shameless woman has no modicum of self-respect that would have enabled her show she can survive outside power, but NO, Buhari is her last HOPE in life!!!

“Lauretta now calls me a scavenger for doing my job professionally & objectively without any tinge of vindictiveness. Her reasons? I covered the Abachas, Atikus & others because I was hungry. Imagine such chicanery. A supposed media aide who doesn’t know the basic tenets of media!

“Lauretta, what have I done wrong by interviewing and interacting with fellow Nigerians? Apart from being a journalist, I was a Presidential candidate like your boss in 2011 and you should know that leaders interact with fellow leaders while their lackeys are busing breaking heads!

“Lauretta, have you forgotten that Abacha once served under Buhari but Buhari later served under Abacha when the tides changed. Buhari even praised Abacha to high heavens and said he was never corrupt! Pls quote, anywhere I ever praised Abacha! I covered a wedding like other media.

“Lauretta, have you forgotten that Buhari’s military government was toppled by Babangida in 1985 and they became sworn enemies. But this did not stop Buhari from visiting Babangida in Minna several times when he needed his endorsement. Yet a journalist cannot report newsmakers!!

“Lauretta, please be patient as I take you down memory lane since you were trying hard to eke a living abroad while we were busy fighting for the good of Nigeria. Buhari visited Obasanjo for endorsement despite their altercations in the past. Did he do so because he was scavenging!!

“Lauretta, you said I ran to England during the Abacha era but was I scavenging in England like you? By the grace of God, I managed to build a global brand & still found time to join hands with freedom fighters like Soyinka, Akinrinade, Tinubu, Oyegun, Fayemi, Afikuyomi & others!

“Lauretta, get a life. You are the biggest nuisance drawing negative vibes constantly to your boss. You dey lucky say Buhari no dey sack, you for don scatter since.”

Pope Francis loses personal doctor to covid-19

Pope Francis’ has lost his personal doctor, Fabrizio Soccorsi to coronavirus according to the Vatican. 

The physician, 78, who was being treated for an “oncological pathology,” died at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, according to Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. 

Pope Francis named Soccorsi his personal physician in August 2015, after not renewing the term of papal doctor Patrizio Polisca, who was also head of the Vatican’s healthcare services. 

Since the pontificate of St. Pope John Paul II, the two positions had been tied together, but Pope Francis diverged from this custom by choosing Soccorsi, a doctor from outside the Vatican.

Lady calls out man and his wife for maltreating 2-year old boy

A lady has called out a man and his wife for allegedly maltreating a two-year old boy.

The lady, Facebook user, Kwin Oge, made the call out on her page.

According to her, the mother of the little boy left him in care of his father.

The father and his new partner, the boy's step mother have however been maltreating him.

Sharing a very disturbing photo of the boy, she called on Delta State Government to come to his aid.

She wrote;

“Mr kwin Oge wall

This is Zino. A 2 year old child whom the biological mother dropped with his biological father and step mother at No 113 Okumagba Avenue, Ojabugbe junction off Deco Road, Warri, Delta State. Since then the father and step mother has been giving this child all sorts of maltreatment and starvation.

Please I call on the Delta state government and all human right activists to come to the aid of this child as the father and step mother has refused neighbours from feeding the boy even when they have refused to give him food. They lock him up in dark room and beat him up when he receives help from neighbours. Neighbours now are afraid to help so they don’t end up killing him. Please come to the aid of this child.Please help repost till he gets an helper”

After the call out, a Nigerian activist, Harrison Gwamnishu  came to the aid of the boy.

He then later came back to give update about the case.

He wrote;

''Gwamnishu has given an update about the child on his Facebook page, as he states that the father has been arrested ad the child taking to the hospital.

“’2-YEAR OLD #SaveZINO RESCUED IN WARRI.

Unknown persons build N20m bridge in Ogun forest

Some unknown persons have constructed a bridge worth N20 million in a remote area in Ijebu East Local Government area of Ogun State.

The bridge, it was gathered, was built across Oluwo river to link Omo Forest in Area J4 to a village in Ondo State.

But, the Ogun state government has ordered the demolition of the N20 million bridge, which it termed as “illegal”.

DailyPost learnt that some illegal loggers, who have been engaging in illegal felling of tree, had tasked themselves to begin the construction of a bridge in the state government forest reserve.

On Saturday, the state Commissioner for Forestry, Hon. Tunji Akinosi was said to have led a monitoring team to Laagan village where he saw the 50-metre long bridge.

A statement by the Information Officer of the Ministry, Soji Solarin, stated that the Commissioner ordered that the bridge, which is almost completed, be destroyed within two weeks.

According to Akinosi, those constructing the bridge were doing so to have easy transportation of stolen state’s forest resources by illegal loggers and taken away to neighbouring states.

He disclosed that some unscrupulous elements are behind the illegal bridge, saying it must have gulped about N15 to N20 million.

He threatened to arrest and prosecute settlers keeping illegal arms to perpetrate crimes in the area.

“Armed soldiers would remain part of the frequent monitoring exercises in order to prevent banditry which is becoming prevalent nationwide,” he said.

Another college revokes Honorary Degree awarded to Trump

Oh dear.. it;s beginning to look like a bad end for Trump.

A private school in the New York borough of Staten Island, Wagner College has revoked an honorary degree given to President Donald Trump.

This is coming after Lehigh University, a private school in Pennsylvania also revoked the same degree awarded to Trump in 1988.

Individuals including cabinet secretaries and institutions have distanced themselves from Trump since his supporters vandalized the Capitol and disrupted Congress during Wednesday’s certification of the Electoral College count.

According to a statement from the school, a committee of Lehigh’s board of trustees voted to strip the degree on Thursday January 7, followed by the full board on Friday, January 8.

Wagner’s trustees, on the other hand, met in a special session to review the honorary degree granted to Trump in 2004 and voted to rescind it.

The school disclosed the new development on social media, it wrote;

“The Wagner College Board of Trustees met in a special session to review the honorary degree granted to Donald J. Trump in 2004. Today, the board voted to rescind that degree.”
