Jonathan should’ve consulted on UNILAG – Gowon
Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, insists that the protests over the renaming of University of Lagos after the late Chief Moshood Abiola could have been avoided if President Goodluck Jonathan had consulted widely.
In his nationwide broadcast on May 29, Jonathan said the government decided to honour Abiola, believed to be the winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, by naming UNILAG after him for his contribution to democracy in the country.
However, the government immediately came under intense criticism, with the students of the university embarking on street demonstrations.
But speaking in Benin on Tuesday, Gowon regretted the aftermath of the name change, saying the protests could have been avoided.

The Dana Plane Crash: The pains, grief and controversies
Getting access from the Ile-Chelsea Bus Stop to the Toyin Street site of the crash, was like passing through the Biblical needle’s eye as thousands of people trooped to the scene causing unprecedented human and vehicular traffic. But for the thick darkening smoke coming from a certain direction, sympathizers would have had difficulties locating the building that the aircraft crashed into. Men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF; Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC; Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAN; were seen in the midst of the crowd.

Oshiomhole alleges plot by PDP to rig Edo guber poll

But the state PDP, however, dismissed the governor’s claim, describing it as spurious alarm.

This came as the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from making further use of Electronic Collapsible Transparent Ballot Boxes, ECTBB.
The governor who spoke at an interactive session with members of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in the state at the Police Officers’ Mess, Benin City, argued that the pronouncement of the Director-General of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, to stop the use of Youth Corps members for the election would only cause confusion in the state.

My vision is to be the voice of excellence - Paul Adefarasin
Paul Adefarasin is the founder and senior pastor of the House on the
Rock, located in Lagos. In this piece, KEHINDE OYETIMI looks at the life
and rise of the cleric.HIS is an intimidating physique but that quickly dissolves when approached. He carries a mien quite contrary to his frame. For quite a lot of church, celebrating the life of Pastor Adefarasin at his present would be adjudged incomplete without an equal dose of appreciation of what his past housed. His life demonstrates how much the grace and how far the power of God could be harnessed to straighten out the life of any man.
A LETTER TO MY SON'S TEACHER FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Abraham Lincoln’s letter to his son’s Head Master
Respected Teacher,
My son will have to learn I know that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
It will take time, I know; but teach him, if you can, that a dollar earned is far more valuable than five found.
Teach him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning.
Steer him away from envy, if you can.
