ASUU Strike: UNIBEN Worker Commits Su***de Over Financial Difficulty


A member of staff of the University of Benin, UNIBEN, Prince Carter Oshodin, on Friday committed su***de at his Umelu Community in the Upper Sokponba area of Benin City.

The late Oshodin, who until the incident was attached to the Data Unit of the university, was said to have taken extreme action due to his dire financial situation, occasioned by the non-payment of his salary in line with the no- work-no-pay policy of the Federal Government.

Though the Non-Academic Staff Union the deceased belonged to had called off its strike, he, along with his contemporaries in the university, was yet to be paid.

Oshodin’s Facebook confirmed his job description at UNIBEN, while the deceased described himself as Craze J. A message on his profile page reads, “Leave a good legacy behind before you depart”.

In a Facebook post in 2017, Oshodin had advised those who work in the public sector to persevere as there were better days ahead.

“Another thing you have to know when working with the government is that salary is peanuts, you lose hope. Please don’t. I know a woman that started work with N125 In 1986 now she is earning over N300, 000 In 2017. That is why you have to be with what you are doing because the little drop of water makes a mighty ocean”, the deceased had counselled in the post.

A professor at the University, who pleaded anonymity, expressed sadness over the development, lamenting that the workers had not been paid since the strike action began seven months ago.

The university don also queried why those who had called off their strike action like NASU members had not been paid, adding that such indicated insincerity on the part of the government.

“Yes, he is our staff that killed himself due to lack of money. Even some months ago, he was quoted to have been advising people on coping strategies and yet he took his life which has put his family in a bigger problem.

“We have been paid no dime since we went on strike. This is the 10th of September, the non-academic staff that have since resumed have not been paid anything”, the professor lamented. Boko

Another colleague simply known as Edward said the LOshodin on his page lamented that he could not meet his finances and was finding it increasingly difficult to pay his two daughters’ school fees.

“He committed su***de on Friday and according to a post on his Facebook, he said he was facing financial difficulties and could pay the school fees of his two young daughters. It is a pathetic situation”, Edward volunteered.

Edo State Command Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO Chidi Nwabuzor said that the matter was not reported to the police but the DPO of the area went to the community for an on-the-spot assessment where the community head confirmed the incident.

He also said that the co**se had been taken away by the deceased’s family.

“I'm On The Verge Of Losing My Friends, Colleagues, And Associates” — Prof Uju Anya Speaks After Her Tweet Wishing Queen Elizabeth II 'Excruciating' D£ath Went Viral.

She wrote:

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step as rightly put, in the past few days I have been the global topic of discourse not that my assertions were manipulated but because I am a woman of honour, I should shy from the truth.

It's pertinent to note that I have received backlash, condemnation, criticism and all sort of attacks because I made an attempt to unravel the hidden truth.

I am on the verge of loosing my friends from the West, my colleagues and associates in the field of research. I have been subsequently condemned and referred to my tweets as unguided utterances from the mischievous scholar but I laugh because they mostly come from a sect that are ignorant of precolonial, colonial and post colonial history of my home country-Nigeria.

I must appreciate your love and support on the fight against injustice as we all dream for a world of equitable justice and fairness. I am not moved with the pressure and threat coming from mostly my Western associates as "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy," Martin Luther King, Jr.

Engage your friends in the discourse, let's interact together and find a strategy to achieve our dream as African people. Invite more people.”

In a follow-up post, she added, “I am very happy over the awareness I've created 48 hours ago. The likes of Jeff Bezos and many others have reacted. Questions are now been asked about the "British Empire".

Factually, Ojukwu and Gowon had a meeting in Ghana, to avert this sad history. But because the British empire which is now under the leadership of King Charles lll were paranoia, they influenced Gowon to go ahead simply because they don't want another Japan in Africa.

The history books are there. "There was a country" by Chinua Achebe is there for facts!. "The Biafra story" by Frederick Forsyth and many others.

Let me also state it once again that my family was a victim. There is no family in Igbo land who did not had a share of this sad history. Till this day, there's no apology!!.

Again, I only dropped a tweet. The Irish people celebrated it with fireworks. You can check hashtag on twitter for emphasis.

We must speak up! The Igbo needs justice!. Africa needs justice!

The 56 commonwealth countries needs justice!”

Bandits Arrest Thief, Hand Him Over To Police Authorities In Katsina.

Bandits operating in Katsina State have ‘arrested’ a suspected thief found with stolen materials in a community.

According to reports, the middle-aged man specializes in pulling out metal rods and removing iron bars from uncompleted and abandoned buildings in the state.

PR Nigeria reports that the bandits narrated how they caught the vandal while they were patroling the area on their motorcycles.

A video obtained by the publication, captured the armed men parading the scavenger and the looted items which were packed inside a cart.

It also showed a community leader who was invited to ensure that the suspect was handed over to the authorities.

However, the date of the incident could not be immediately confirmed from the video.

The group, armed with different sophisticated fi****ms, further lectured the apprehended thief about the ills of stealing.

They expressed dissatisfaction over the way the thieves are destroying government properties in the state.

“Don’t you know that it is an offence to steal? You’re lucky we are handing you over to the authority We could have exe.cuted you for engaging in a criminal activity”, they cautioned.

The terrorists handed over the accused to the community leader and urged him to ensure he is punished.

They did not just hand him over and walk away, they followed the village chief and witnessed when he was being whisked away by security personnel.
