  By Efe Precious Rukevwe Students Loan (Access to Higher Education); Interest-Free Loans for Higher Education is an innovative bill introduced by Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, which was signed into Law by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) on the 12th of June, 2023 as a “fulfillment of one of his campaign promises to liberalize education funding” according to Dele Alake, a member of the Presidential Strategic Team. It aims to revolutionize access to higher education in public institutions in Nigeria by establishing the Nigerian Education Bank. This bank will provide interest-free loans to students, ensuring equal opportunities for all. However, in an interview with PUNCH, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the National President of ASUU, expressed strong concerns about the newly implemented Students Loan Act. He emphasized that introducing tuition fees through the law would be counterproductive, as over 133 million people in the country live below the poverty line. Osodek

  Senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice Ekweremadu and the doctor, Obinna Obeta have each been convicted for the offence of conspiracy to commit human trafficking. They brought a young man to London to exploit him by proposing to give him money, coupled with facilitating his stay and getting a job in London for the donation of one of his kidneys on behalf of their sick daughter, Sonia. People trafficking across international borders for the harvesting of human organs is a form of slavery. It treats human beings and their body parts as commodities to be bought and sold. It is a trade that preys on poverty, misery and desperation. The evidence shows that those who are impoverished and often living in multidimensional poverty desperate for a better life and ignorant of the true risks are sometimes willing to donate their organs for money or the chance to work in the UK. Significant risks  are attached to such without proper care. Judge Jeremy Johnson, in delivering the jud

Game week 33 featured two sides who, based on recent records, are apart from each other in terms of head to head results, class, points and pedigree. Udinese, the home side definitely came into this match as the underdogs, with many expecting Napoli, who have been high flying this season to finish what their fans were expecting them to finish at Naples in their last match against Salernitana.  Siting currently at first position in the Serie A, with clearly intimidating points, Napoli are expected to be confirmed as champions of the Italian league today if they can just get a point in this game against Udinese.This is probably not a big deal for the current league leaders but you know complacency can be a problem. Also, you never know what football has in store for us. There are normally surprises at the corner. The game against Salernitana on Sunday, 30 th  April, 2023 was definitely a party spoiler, as Napoli were anticipating victory in front of their home fans, who had m

This game turned out to be as expected, with everyone predicting that Man City will finally go top of the league ahead of Arsenal and continue their dominance going forward. It only took City 3 minutes to get the party started, as Fulham’s Tim Ream was negligent in his 18 yard box by tripping Julian Alvarez in the penalty box. Erling Haaland took the penalty and scored from the spot kick.  Once the first blood was drawn, it was City all the way - in control of the majority of the possession and dictating the run of play. City made several attempts to double their lead with multiple attempts from Riyad Mahrez, Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez but eventually, it was Fulham that got the equalizer in the 15 th  minute of the game. The goal came from Vinicius, assisted by Harry Wilson. With that goal making it stalemate, the game was back on. Mancity continued dominating possession; Fulham’s Tim Ream was then injured, taken off and was replaced by Issa Diop. There was also the Jac

  An English Premier league match which everyone wanted to see today was the game between the contenders for the English Premier league title. The current league leaders, Arsenal came into this game with a few unpleasant results, as they were expected to keep the momentum going in order to maintain the lead against a resilient Mancity team under Pep Guardiola. Rather, they drew their last 3 games against Liverpool, Westham United and Southampton, who are bottom of the league. Despite all of these, the game with City, although not an easy game, could have changed Arsenal's fortune. What they needed was a proper game plan and most importantly; the right mentality 🧠 The party started early for Mancity, with Erling Haaland switching roles with Kevin DeBruyne by giving him an assist for the first goal, just within the first 7 minutes.  A one goal lead doesn't mean much generally in football, as it can easily be overturned at anytime. However, anyone who watched that gam

  The hottest news right now about one of the most popular social media software (twitter) is that a lot of its users, including celebrities like most popular footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo and popular Nigerian politician, Peter Gregory Obi had previously lost their twitter verification badges otherwise known as blue ticks due to Elon Musk's recent policy that the verification badge must be maintained by subscribing to it financially, contrary to the previous position where it was free for all.  The subscription ranges from monthly ($8) to yearly subscription. For Nigerians, the yearly subscription is #38,500 (thirty-eight thousand, five hundred naira) at a certain percentage discount. This got the whole twitter community fuming, as it is rather strange to them that they would be paying for their accounts to be verified, as opposed to the earlier position when twitter was under the supervision of Jack Dorsey as the CEO.  This policy, although may not have sat well with a
