Caleb University, one of the second generation private universities based in Imota, Lagos State, has imposed a record N150 million surcharge on all its students to offset the alleged damages done to the school’s property during a riot by some male students on May 13.

The male students allegedly protested against the school’s “very strict dress code and other strict code of conduct”.
All the students were subsequently ordered to vacate the campus on May 15 and await further directives.
But many parents were shocked when they received text messages on May 23 from the university, asking male students to pay N100,000 each and females to pay N50,000 each as surcharge for damages to the school’s property during the riot.



The surcharge must be paid before they would be allowed to resume on June 2.
The school, with a student population of about 1,500 students is expected to rake in about N150 million from the surcharge for damages, which sources put at barely N2 million.
A concerned parent remarked on Friday: "How can they force us to pay so much for damages.
"The university authorities have seen this riot as another opportunity to milk parents.
"They are so stupid, greedy, callous and heartless.
"Rather than fish out the culprits and punish them appropriately, they are scheming to make money from the crisis.

"What kind of repairs are they trying to do with about N150 million?
"Are they planning to build a new university by exploiting parents?
"The NUC (National Universities Commission) must step in to save parents from these exploiters at Caleb University.


The text message sent to parents by the university on May 23 reads:

"CUL parents and students are hereby notified that school resumes Mon, June 2. Exams start Mon, June 9. Male students are to pay N100,000 while the female would pay N50,000 by bank draft into Ecobank Account 1993000979 to offset damage to school property. Balance of school fees should be paid into Sterling Bank Acct. 0020022195.
“No student would be allowed into the university premises without evidence of payment of school fees and the surcharge. A guarantor must accompany each student with a letter of undertaking to be of good behaviour.”

On Friday May 23rd, the privileged 22 year old son of Hunger  Games assistant director Peter Rodger, Elliot Rodger took his own life  after killing 6 people and leaving 13 others wounded in Isla Vista near the University of California, Santa Barbara.

The Santa Barbara City College student, who was  angry at the world for still being a virgin at 22, posted a chilling  video hours before he went on rampage warning of ‘retribution’ because  girls rejected him.

to nearby Alpha Phi sorority. According to law enforcement agent,  Elliot knocked on the door but no one would let him in and that was when he spotted two women standing outside the sorority and fired shots at

After the shooting, Elliot Rodger returned to his black BMW and drove to IV Deli Mart in Golita where he shot dead 20-year-old UCSB sophomore Christopher Martinez, an unsuspecting bystander. Continue…

A source told X17: 'Rob said he was sickened by Kim and Kanye's display of wealth and clothes and beauty and called it 'superficial bulls***' but Kim was pissed that Rob hadn't made an effort to drop any weight over the past few months. Rob basically thinks Kim cares about him only for his appearance and he said he'd 'make life easier' for her and just leave.'

Rob not only skipped the wedding, he skipped everything else, including the rehearsal dinner. When paparazzi at LAX asked him why he skipped the wedding, Rob didn't answer.

 During her speech at the launch of her foundation, Pamela Anderson Foundation, at Cannes Film Festival last week, glamour model and actress Pamela Anderson revealed how she was molested from age 6 and gang-raped by her first boyfriend and his friends who decided it would be fun to rape her

    "I did not have an easy childhood. I was molested from age 6-10 by my female babysitter. I went to a friends boyfriends house while she was busy. The boyfriends older brother decided he would teach me backgammon which led into a back massage which led into rape- my first heterosexual experience. He was 25 yrs old, I was 12.

    My first boyfriend in grade 9 decided it would be fun to gang rape me (with 6 of his friends) Needless to say I had a hard time trusting humans. I just wanted off this earth. My parents tried to keep me safe but to me the world was not a safe place, my dad  an alcoholic, my mom worked two jobs waitressing. My mom was always crying. Dad didn't always come home leaving us in tremendous pain and worry. I couldn't bare to give her any more disruptive information. I couldn't break her heart any more than it was breaking. I kept these events to myself. Sometimes, when you smile, it's not because you are happy, it's because you are strong" she said

Keep a close eye on your young children and the people around them. Children are getting molested every day...sometimes by family members...and people you trust!

The comment made Nicki feel some type of way and when asked about it on Power 105′s The Breakfast Club yesterday, Nicki said;
“Listen. All Forbes needs to worry about is my finances and when I’m going to be selling Myx Fusions for $250 million. That’s all they need to worry about. We rely on hip-hop connoisseurs and blogs for that kind of information. So we appreciate it, but no thank you.”

The Defence Headquarters has released a statement denying a claim today by a Kaduna-based cleric, Dr. Ahmad Gumi, that there is genocide going on in Borno where security forces/vigilante groups round up young men and kill them in a field for allegedly being Boko Haram members. (Read here).
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has found the latest allegation of genocide against the Nigerian military by a Kaduna based cleric as not only diversionary but unfortunate.
"The DHQ wishes to unequivocally dissociate the Nigerian military from any involvement in the alleged genocide as depicted in the graphic pictures which appeared in the front page of Blueprint newspapers of 22 May 2014 edition entitled, “Alleged Killing field in Borno”. Continue...
While the military will continue to respect freedom of expression of Nigerians, it will not submit to desperate blackmail and propaganda aimed at diverting attention and pitching public opinion against the armed forces. Although the real motive of the report and presentation with the apparent intention to impute military complicity in the event depicted in the pictures is yet to unfold, the DHQ sees this allegation as the manifestation of yet another grand design to tarnish and denigrate the image of Nigerian Armed Forces.The Nigerian military remains a professional force whose operations is guided by high standard of professional ethics and will not be party to such dastardly act. At no time or event in the course of the counter-insurgency operation have the troops embarked on the extra-judicial killing of civilians as exhibited in the gory pictures.

The location and occasion where the events captured in the pictures were taken is unknown and has no bearing whatsoever as insinuated in the report by the Blueprint newspaper. The individual holding stick which the paper mischievously described as “a soldier stand(ing) guard…” is certainly not a Nigerian soldier neither is any of those captured in the pictures.

The media are once again advised not to make themselves available to those who are desperate to tarnish the good name of the Nigerian Armed Forces"
