CALEB umiversity shut down cos of student riot


Caleb University, Imota, Lagos, has been
shut down following students' protest
yesterday which saw school properties,
including four cars destroyed. The
protest allegedly began after an official
of the school tried to stop a Muslim
student from praying in the school, which
is a Christian school.
The School's VC Prof. Ayo Olukoju
announced today that the school will be
shut down temporarily but will re-open
on June 2nd. Speaking to Punch about
the decision, Prof Olukoju said;
“We have rules and regulations in
the school and all the students
agreed to abide by them. These rules
are in the student handout. Before
now, we have been applying
appropriate sanctions against
students who default in any of these
rules. We wanted to enforce one of
such sanctions on Wednesday before
this crisis escalated. Please, the
crisis has nothing to do with
religion. It has nothing to do with
being a Christian or a Muslim.
People, especially female students
even went to their worship centres
on campus on Wednesday to pray
after the incident. Again, I tell you
this action was carried out by the
male students alone.”

The JNI had, through its Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar, stated: “Christians, who by all acceptable records, are not more than 40 per cent of the country’s population, ironically, constitutes 62 per cent of the total delegates at the National Conference.” Asake, in a statement, yesterday, described the ...

So it has been confirmed, Jude Okoye, elder brother of the dynamic duo P-Square wasn’t present for his brother’s wedding. A source spoke with P-Square’s publicist Bayo Adetu and he confirmed that Jude Okoye was not at Peter and Lola’s wedding yesterday. The gist is that Jude Okoye and some members of P-Square’s band were stuck in Ghana after their Saturday night show. What’s weird is that Peter and Paul also at that show and were able to make the trip back on Sunday morning but not Jude.

Microsoft launches office for ipad

Microsoft has released an iPad version of its popular Office software suite. This breakthrough heralds a new era under new CEO Satya Nadella who promises to focus more on the devices that people are using instead of trying to protect the company’s lucrative Windows franchise. Thursday’s unveiling of the much- anticipated iPad apps for Microsoft’s bundle of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software comes nearly four years after Apple Inc. released the tablet computer that has contributed to a steady decline in sales of desktop and laptop machines running on the Windows operating system. The Office app is free to anyone who wants to read Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the iPad, but it will require a subscription to Microsoft’s Office 365 to create and edit on the device. The Office 365 subscription costs A$119 annually, but comes with a limited number of devices the software can be used on. The Office 3...
