There has been palpable tension in Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, Delta State in the past few months over the wave of abduction of lecturers by suspected kidnappers. Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Mordi said that lecturers were particularly disturbed, as educators are not millionaires, but the gunmen keep attacking them. In the last two years, he said over 20 members had been abducted, but what has troubled the academic community more in recent times, was the kidnap of a lecturer of Department of Science Education, Dr. (Mrs.) Mercy Mokobia, from her nuptial home in Obiaruku, since April 9 without trace by the Police. Indeed, during his visit to the university, some months ago, the vice-chancellor, Professor Eric Arubayi, told Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, that the university was under siege. Mordi said in most of the previous kidnap cases, it was demand for ransom by abductors, after wh...

Arogundade Actress and singer, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Photo: KATE PETERS She scores a zero on the  Hollywood  Richter scale. She has never starred in a major motion picture. Her most recent film,  Last Flight to Abuja , means nothing to devotees of  Netflix  and  LoveFilm . When she sat next to  Steven Spielberg  at a  Time magazine  dinner earlier this year he didn’t know her name. Yet  Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde  was attending that dinner because, like him, she had been honoured in Time’s 2013 list of the  100 Most Influential People in the World . Alongside  Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama  and  Beyoncé . The star of more than 300 films, Omotola – or ‘Omosexy’, as she is known to her legions of fans – is bigger across the African diaspora than  Halle Berry .

Suntai sandwiched between PDP operatives on Sunday shortly after arriving from the US The severity of Governor Danbaba Suntai’s brain damage became obvious to the leadership of the Taraba State House of Assembly who visited him today, two of the legislators have told SaharaReporters. A surprise invitation was extended to the lawmakers to meet Mr. Suntai after a group of state legislators threatened to commence the ailing governor’s impeachment. One of the lawmakers who saw Mr. Suntai said the sudden invitation was designed to placate lawmakers. The delegation of lawmakers was led by the speaker of the Taraba State Assembly, Haruna Tsokwa. Our sources revealed that the legislators met Mr. Suntai who was seated on a couch struggling to speak some words to the delegates. They disclosed that Mr. Suntai did not recognize any of the lawmakers. His speech was characterized as garbled, confused and mostly inaudible, according to one source. He added that, at one point, the brain-injur...

Reports reaching us from Jalingo say that the Taraba state governor, Danbaba Suntai has dissolved the state executive council. All special advisers also have been seen off the premises; special assistants' positions, however, remain intact. Also, Governor Suntai, whose actions now are heavily scrutinized by the general public and his fellow politicians, has endorsed the appointments of Mr. Timothy Katap as the new Secretary to State Government (SSG), and Mallam Aminu Jika as the new Chief of Staff.

All commissioners have been directed to hand over to their respective permanent secretaries while the special advisers are to hand over to the Government House

Medical advances mean it will soon be possible to bring the dead back to life, a doctor claims. Modern techniques will enable a patient to be revived up to 24 hours after they stop breathing, Dr Sam Parnia says. The American critical care physician, who trained in London, said: ‘We may soon be rescuing people from death’s clutches hours, or even longer, after they have actually died.’ He claims the US actor James Gandolfini, star of The Sopranos – who died in June aged 51 in Rome – might have survived if he had suffered his massive heart attack in New York. ‘I believe if he died here, he could still be alive. We’d cool him down, pump oxygen to the tissues, which prevents them from dying,’ Dr Parnia told Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine. ‘Clinically dead, he could then be cared for by the cardiologist. He would make an angiogram, find the clot, take it out, put in a stent and we would restart the heart.’ Dr Parnia, whose new book on resuscitation science is called Erasing Death, said dea...

Getting written about in the media is one thing most public figures cherish a lot but being  in the news  for negative and controversial reasons is what some don’t like at all. Apart for few eccentric stars like Tonto Dikeh, Charly Boy and few others, who don’t mind about controversies, others try to protect their names and brands to attract endorsements and good image. For those who hate to be linked with negative  news stories , they guard against such because they are not the only affected victims but their close  family members . Their children, siblings, relations and spouses most times get hurt because they become a source of ridicule among their  friends and associates. For Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, she has had her own fair share of negative and  dirty  stories written about her person. From a controversial  picture  taken at the Grammy Awards few years ago to her alleged sex scandal with Sifax boss, Taiwo Afolabi.  Even recently, ...

Two Kenyan men have signed a written contract to “marry” the same woman, reports say. The woman had been having affairs with both men and refused to choose between them. The agreement sets out a rota for the men to stay in her house and states they will both help raise any children she bears. Lawyers said their “marriage” would be legally recognized if they could prove polyandry was part of their custom. Sylvester Mwendwa and Elijah Kimani made the deal after realizing they had both been having an affair with the woman in Mombasa County for more than four years, the local Daily Nation newspaper reports. Community policing officer Adhalah Abdulrahman persuaded the two men to marry the woman after he saw them fighting over her, it reports. “We have agreed that from today we will not threaten or have jealous feelings because of our wife, who says she’s not ready to let go of any of us,” the agreement says, Kenya’s NTV station reports. “Each one will respect the day set aside ...

The liver plays a vital role in the body by regulating most chemical levels in the blood. It’s involved in many vital roles including cleansing and detoxification processes in the body, and therefore must be in top performance for optimum health. A healthy liver relies on a healthy diet, regular exercise, lots of rest, and avoiding things that can cause liver damage. Too much alcohol consumption is a culprit that has been known to cause extensive liver damage. In addition to this, here are habits that can damage the liver: 1. Too much eating.

As the cloud of adultery mess hovers around the Ministry of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly, COZA, concerned members of the church have expressed disappointment that the ‘Apostle’ has not clinically come out to either accept or deny the allegation levelled against him. Fatoyinbo has been in the news for allegedly sleeping with one of his church members who gave her name as Ese Walter.
