Image
• The Chief Executive of the fund Kweku Adjei Yeboah said beneficiaries of the fund who have defaulted must pay their loans or be prosecuted in court. Chief Executive of the Student Loan Trust Fund Kweku Adjei Yeboah The managers of the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) have indicated that beneficiaries who have defaulted in their loan payment will soon face legal action. “Former beneficiaries must live up to their moral and legal obligations by paying back the loans which gave them the opportunity to better their education and their lives,” he said. Mr. Yeboah also said that employers must deduct the loan amount from their employees who are beneficiaries of the fund. “Since the student’s loan is a senior loan, employers are obligated by law to deduct payments from their employees at source and pay to the Fund.

The penalty, if awarded and scored at a time the match was 1-1, could have wrapped up a second round ticket for the Eagles. Speaking at the post-match briefing in St Petersburg, Mikel said: “I asked the referee if he thought the ball struck Rojo’s hand and he said ‘yes;. The referee told me that the ball came off Rojo’s head before it hit his hand.” Mikel added: ”I then asked Cakur why he didn’t award the penalty to Nigeria, he said: ‘I don’t know.’ That was sad because we checked the match video in the dressing room and it was a clear penalty kick. “When the ball touches your hand in

SELF-MOTIVATIONs (Written By:Adeagbo Emmanuel)

When cloud of pain loom in the sky, When shadow of sadness flicks by, When tears find its way to the eye, I tried to console my heart, Why is it that you cry? I ask, These deep silence within, Have been handled out, to all by time, Everyone's story has a little sorrow, Everyone's story has a little sunshine, No need for tears in your eyes, Every moment can be a new life, Why do you let them pass you by, Oh heart, why is it that you cry? You want to get rid of the fear with You? Well then, here is our deepest fear,Death Let's face it, Because beyond this fear lies Victory.

LIFE OF AN ADOPTED CHILD- Written By: Timilehin Ogundipe

Image
I don't want any questions from you, She denied me the privileges, You should be contented she clamours, I wasn't happy like other children, I was enclosed in a private world if my own, He had affection for his mother and sisters, But really hate me, He bullied and punished me, Not once or twice a day but continually, Every nerve in my body feared him, And the flesh in my bones shrank, Whenever he came near, His mother was blind to any act of her only son.

The clamour for youthful leadership: The stormy sea of murky waters

Image
My participation in political and socio-economic discourse has been at its lowest ebb for a long while now. Even though i'm no social media freak but i visit several social media platforms and online news platforms every six hours to check on latest happenings in the country. And as expected there is always a new gist about governmental actions and proceedings in the country. I have only chosen not to comment on the rather pathetic and horrendous shape of our country not because everything is quite good and cool instead its because every latest news about our country seems to be laced with comic and hilarious substances to which one cannot but smile and ponder over what our country has become, which brings to the fore the title of Chinua Achebe's book that indeed "there was a country". The Nigeria political space has been inhabited by comic actors who are obviously apparelled in suits, agbada, or babariga wears with little or no knowledge about how to steer the affa

BREAKING THE BARRIERS OF MY LOVE

Image
Based on Logistics, I never can tell Why I love Her, I can't just explain why I love Her, How 'just' she solved it, Breaking my 'barriers' of love, My love of skimpy girls, Fair and tall girls, With automated voice, are unlimited, She just came in without knocking, She's busty,blackie and brilliant... I never can tell how she made her way Into my heart, Its unexplainable, Knowing fully well of my love for, fair and skimpy girls, I can't explain the genesis of our love, A single smile of hers, Can whoop my Bank Account, A wink of hers can command so many things, I just love her the way she is. I believe that's what is called LOVE N.B: Nothing about this poem is attached with the Poet just like any other Poem Written By: Timilehin Ogundipe, 07069491510

He talked about their poor attitude and said they were too complacent and too relaxed.

Mourinho has to take a bit of personal responsibility for this. Jose Mourinho needs to take more responsibility after his side missed out on winning the title United suffered a shock defeat at home to West Brom to hand Manchester City the title You look at the signings Mourinho has made.

#I Stand With Her- By Kimilokan

"I used to have aspirations", she said as she broke down in tears. Just like many women in our present day society, she suffers from emotional instability and depression due to her inability to combine her family life and the professional heights she dreamt of attaining all her life. Quite alarmingly, about one in every five Nigerians suffer from depression, about the highest rate in Africa. The Nigerian woman suffers double because she faces marital, family, career and emotional struggle. Women need to find passion in whatever they do. You're special creatures, strong and empowered to break grounds and attain great heights. Find happiness in whatever you do and always remember, you have the ability to change the world. In the season of appreciating women, make it a point of duty to support a woman today! #I Stand With Her! #Female Empowerment! #Support Women Today! Watch this space for our series that StandWithHer.

Moving against the torrent of reality The meaning of the day is vague in calamity Sun looks like the moon sound like it lacks veracity But nothing is vague in saner clarity He works against human's imaginations Living in a land of no man's beautification Yet expresses himself in easy clarification His identity still remains beyond recognition Yet he meets all humans satisfaction His integrity is greater than any man's morality He has given us stars like one in duality Whose birth are surrounded by 'enigmatism' Different from social conventionality Their appearance is has caused pit of hell calamity Their voice sound unism Their stars glitter in purity Happy birthday to these beautiful and enchanting Queens of the light.
