March 16, 2016

Hundreds of admission seekers to the nation’s tertiary institutions and their parents on Tuesday stormed the Lagos State Governor’s Office in Alausa, Ikeja, and the state Assembly complex to protest against alleged manipulation of the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The protesters demanded the cancellation of the exams and the removal of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde.
The protesters, who faulted the conduct of the examination, described the exercise as a “big sham.”
The examination, conducted by JAMB, they alleged, was fraught with irregularities.

A new study shows the 'strongest evidence to date' that height and weight affect how much money you make

A new study offers the “strongest evidence to date” that overweight people and short people face social and economic barriers to success because of their size.
Using genetic data from more than 119,000 British people between the ages of 37 and 73, researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. found that higher body mass index is associated with lower income and greater social deprivation, which takes into account unemployment, car and home ownership, and home overcrowding.
Shorter height is associated with a lower income,

Akagu: I didn’t know much about the army until 1984 when I went to Makurdi, Benue State.

I’m a clown like my father–Ushbebe

March 12, 2016

Taking a trip down memory lane, the comic character told Saturday Beats that he is a chip off the old block. He said that he grew up in an Air Force base and fathered by a very funny man.

He likened his father’s house to the popular Fuji House of Commotion.

“Comedy for me started when I was in my father’s house. My father is a very funny man. I am not one of those that would say certain things to make my growing up days sound like a bed of roses. I grew up in the Air Force base and if you know anyone that grew up there, you can ask of Baba Congo. That is what they call my father. Just imagine the nickname my father has, Congo, who bears a name like that if not a funny man? He is a funny man, a clown, and that is the kind of house I grew up experiencing funny things. My house was like that Fuji House of Commotion when we had a full house. Because of my background, I went to the university to study Theatre Art. Even in my secondary school, I was the head of the drama society and I held the same position during my NYSC and in my church. In fact, I have been doing drama for a very long time and I call myself a ‘dramarian’. The only thing I can’t do is act because I don’t like to stay in a place for too long, so I decided to stick to comedy. Besides, the money actors collect is too small; when they increase their money, I will start acting,” he said.

He told Saturday Beats that he decided to explore his talent after he was doing poorly as a bank worker.

“I didn’t join the comedy business because I studied Theatre Art in school; I am in my line of business. I was not doing well as a banker, so I left. Meeting targets has always been the problem with banking, not calculation; the problem is meeting up the billons they set for you as target. If you don’t have anybody that has millions in your family, how do you want to get billions? It’s easy for people that can say ‘uncle, just lend me two billion, I will give you next week and he gives you’, they will promote you in the bank and you collect your money back for your uncle. I didn’t have such an uncle, so I knew I would not last and before they sacked me, I just sacked myself,” he said.
