The student, Ezeh Goodluck was prevented from sitting for his exam when he arrived his faculty on Monday, April 1.

Before going for the exam, his whats-app status expressed hope that the exam will favor him.

However, he was denied entry into the exam hall because his haircut didn’t meet faculty standard and was also told to produce his ID card.


On his way to get a haircut, the bike he took had an accident which killed the rider while he was flung into a ditch where he was unconscious.

The COOU student died at the Chukwuemka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, formerly Anambra State University Teaching Hospital.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has charged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Southwest to purge the party of “bad eggs and hypocrites.”

Obasanjo said the people he described as “bad eggs” lack the commitment to return PDP to its lost glory.



The ex-president spoke on Sunday when he played host to PDP leaders from Southwest, led by the party’s National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Dr. Eddy Olafeso, at his Pent-House Residence in Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The former President said many leaders of the party are after “their pockets and stomach.”

He wondered why some top echelon left the party shortly after the results of the 2019 presidential election was announced, noting that other members have lost hope.

According to Obasanjo, Nigeria demands a vibrant voice and opposition in PDP, with a view to building a virile democracy.

Obasanjo said for PDP to bounce back, it must purge itself of hypocrites and bad eggs, and shop for those he called “critical mass of committed people,” who will be “ready to stand with the party, come rain, come shine.”

Obasanjo said, “I knew PDP would lose election in 2015 because it was clear. And I knew PDP will need to be rebuilt after losing the election.

“You need what I call critical mass of committed people, and come rain, come shine they are committed. With that, you can make Nigeria better.

“You see people’s faces beautiful, but you don’t know what each person harbors inside of him.



“If you discover a bad egg, remove such a person. And if such person has learnt his or her lessons, there can still be room to accommodate the person.”

Comparing PDP presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, with President Muhammadu Buhari, Obasanjo said, “If you compare the two of them, with what I know and all I have written about the incumbent which they have decided to cover up, Atiku is better than the incumbent by far. That’s the point I am making. And nobody is perfect.”

Earlier in his address, Olafeso explained that the visit was to celebrate Obasanjo on his 82nd birthday, which he marked recently and to also thank him for his support for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2019 elections.

“We could not have done well in the last elections in the Southwest without your support. Your voice resonates above all the lies told in the country and you told the world what is actually happening in your country.

“You decided that you are going to stand up and fight. There is nothing we can say here that would compensate for the role you have played.

“You supported our presidential candidate and I know for sure that he won that election, even if the powers-that-be decided to write results for themselves in the North; and I know fully well that God will take this thing back to our party.”

Among those at the meeting were Senate Minority Leader, Biodun Olujimi; Senators-elect, Oyo South Kola Balogun; Ondo Central, Ayo Akinyelure; Rep-elect (Ibarapa North and Central), Hon Ajibola Muraina; former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; former Minister of State for Defence, Erelu Olusola Obada; and PDP gubernatorial candidate in Ekiti State 2018 election, Prof. Olusola Eleka,

Also at the meeting were, former Deputy Governor of Lagos, Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele; former Deputy National Chairman, Shuaibu Oyedokun; PDP governorship candidate in 2017 Ondo State governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), among others.

Banky W charges Nigerian leaders over Kolade Johnson shot by SARS

Singer turned politician, Banky W has called on Nigerian leaders to seek Justice for Kolade Johnson, a man who got hit by a stray bullet shot by a SARS officer.





Kolade Johnson was hit by the bullet while watching an English Premier League game between Liverpool and Tottenham last Sunday.

Reacting to the incident which has drawn lots of cries from Nigerians, Banky W wrote:

Dear Sirs, Kolade Johnson, an innocent, young citizen of Nigeria is dead. He was the only son of a widow, a husband and father. His only crime was being in the right place at the wrong time… watching a football match when SARS operatives who allegedly came to arrest someone, started shooting sporadically. Kolade is not the first innocent victim of reckless behaviour by SARS operatives, and he will almost certainly not be the last. It is sickening, frustrating, and unfair.

Nigeria ranked 6th most miserable country in the world by Steve Hanke

Nigeria has been ranked the 6th most miserable country by Steve Hanke, an economist from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, United States.

The ranking is titled, Hanke’s Annual Misery Index 2018: The World’s Saddest (And Happiest) Countries.



According to an article he wrote in Forbes magazine March 28 edition, Steve Hanke notes that economic indices such as unemployment, inflation and the rates banks charge on loans are used to calculate Misery Index.

“In the sphere of economics, misery tends to flow from high inflation, steep borrowing costs and unemployment,” Hanke warns.

Hanke, in his explanatory note wrote:

“The original Misery Index was just a simple sum of a nation’s annual inflation rate and its unemployment rate.

“The Index has been modified several times, first by Robert Barro of Harvard and then by myself.


“My modified Misery Index is the sum of the unemployment, inflation and bank lending rates, minus the percentage change in real GDP per capita.

“Higher readings on the first three elements are ‘bad’ and make people more miserable. These are offset by a ‘good’ (GDP per capita growth), which is subtracted from the sum of the ‘bads.’

“A higher Misery Index score reflects a higher level of ‘misery,’ and it’s a simple enough metric that a busy president, without time for extensive economic briefings, can understand at a glance.”

Countries ranking as least miserable in the world on the 2018 Misery Index are Thailand and Hungary, having ranked 95th and 94th respectively of the 95 countries ranked by Hanke.
