As a result of some rumblings of a protest by some KSU students living around Lokoja,the S.U.G President took to his Facebook wall around 6:00 PM today to post this :
"Pls all students should debunk any information stating that there would be protest in lokoja on Thursday 2nd 2016. We should nt use our hands to jeopardise efforts made so far as the government has promised to pay 5month salary this week. The SUG is in the position to call for protest when time is due and any one who takes part in any protest not organized by SUG is on his own as SUG would not stand liable or for any students who make such mistakes. I believe we re all literate as students and should know the procedures involved before embarking on a civil disobedience. SUG is nt sleeping as various steps has been taken and its almost yielding results. Pls we shouldn't use our hands to spoil the efforts made so far. And since we ve all entrusted the power of our representative on the excos of SUG then we have to trust them to take decisions for us. Always call the President on 08050476454 for information 24hrs his phone line is on. Thanks. Aluta continua, Victoria asserta . from comrd . P.S OMEPA (SUG president ksu)"
Well,this is coming as a surprise,we didn't see that coming did we ??
Nah,just kidding,we saw it coming. As a matter of fact it was part of the write up we published yesterday in the part where we said :
"You have a student union government,they look like they mean well,with all the keke napeps and stuffs,and they are trying to make sure that the government understand your plight without moving at a speed capable of killing a spleen,you can't blame them,they have their reasons,right ??
Can you act ?? Off course you can act,but as a student if you act without been told to by the SUG,then you're on your own."
So we expected something like this,even more assertion from your part,MR President :
" We should nt use our hands to jeopardise efforts made so far as the government has promised to pay 5month salary this week. The SUG is in the position to call for protest when time is due and any one who takes part in any protest not organized by SUG is on his own as SUG would not stand liable or for any students who make such mistakes."
So thanks MR President for again saying something we were expecting you to say,but not what many (KSUstudents) want you to say. Thanks for not varying from the script. By the way,as at yesterday,this is what we said just yesterday:
"But,isn't the SUG the body that connects you as student to them(the upper guys), they are your voice,but they clearly don't know what exactly you want them to voice out. So what you have to do is make them know exactly what you want,how you feel,what you want them to say. You have to start taking steps. Like I said,action speaks louder and clearer than words.
Its strike day 46,your patience has ran thin,you should start taking steps,you will start taking steps,you MUST start taking steps."
So you should understand where and why this protest talks is coming up,mr President. Its totally understandable why this is coming,the students are tired of just sitting at home and watching ASUU and the state government play chess with their future. You are the president of S.U.G, we are mere students who wants to earn a certificate,so at some point this protest talks was bound to come up,and at some point if something is not done,is bound to escalate.
Meanwhile,enjoy this report :
"Niger Delta University (NDU) on Saturday protested the indefinite closure of the university following the non-payment of workers by the state Government.
The students under the aegis of the Niger Delta Visionary Movement (NDVM) threatened to march naked with their books and block the entrance to Government House if after a week the stakeholders failed to settle their rift and open the university.
It would be recalled that the ASUU chapter of Niger Delta University on April 26th, embarked on indefinite strike over non payment of salaries."
To the Student Union Government of Kogi state university,brace up your "keke napep",its going to be a bumpy ride in the coming days if something isn't done. As of now,we are still watching !!

Motivational Letter By A Teacher To Her Pupils(touching)
This headteacher’s letter to year 6 students in
barrowford primary school has gone viral.if you can’t
read directly from the picture…its written out below:
“Please find enclosed your end of KS2 test results.
We are very proud of you as you demonstrated
huge amounts of commitment and tried your
very best during this tricky week.
However, we are concerned that these tests do
not always assess all of what it is that make each
of you special and unique. The people who create
these tests and score them do not know each of
you… the way your teachers do, the way I hope
to, and certainly not the way your families do.
They do not know that many of you speak two
languages. They do not know that you can play a
musical instrument or that you can dance or
paint a picture.
They do not know that your friends count on you
to be there for them or that your laughter can
brighten the dreariest day. They do not know that
you write poetry or songs, play or participate in
sports, wonder about the future, or that
sometimes you take care of your little brother or
sister after school.
They do not know that you have travelled to a
really neat place or that you know how to tell a
great story or that you really love spending time
with special family members and friends.
They do not know that you can be trustworthy,
kind or thoughtful, and that you try, every day, to
be your very best… the scores you get will tell
you something, but they will not tell you
everything.
So enjoy your results and be very proud of these
but remember there are many ways of being
smart.”

Top 5 Ways To Increase Your Intelligence
1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard
sell. People love vegetating in front of the television.
The problem is watching television doesn’t use your
mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having
the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health
benefits of exercise.
Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of TV? Your
eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the
light box for so long. You don’t even have the energy
to read a book.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead.
If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re
with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have
a conversation. All of these things use your mind more
than television and allow you to relax.
2. Exercise – I used to think that I’d learn more by
not exercising and using the time to read a book
instead. But I realized that time spent exercising
always leads to greater learning because it improves
productivity during the time afterwards. Using your
body clears your head and creates a wave of energy.
Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate
more easily.
3. Read Challenging Books – Many people like to
read popular suspense fiction, but generally these
books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to
improve your thinking and writing ability you should
read books that make you focus. Reading a classic
novel can change your view of the world and will make
you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be
afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t
be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read
when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to
the author’s style.
Once you get used to reading challenging books, I
think you’ll find that you aren’t tempted to go back to
page-turners. The challenge of learning new ideas is
far more exciting than any tacky suspense-thriller.
4. Early to Bed, Early to Rise – Nothing makes it
harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be
most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t
sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and
compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic
and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early
morning hours are the most tranquil and productive.
Waking up early gives you more productive hours and
maximizes your mental acuity all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps
when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything
longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will
refresh you.
5. Take Time to Reflect – Often our lives get so
hectic that we become overwhelmed without even
realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate
because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending
some time alone in reflection gives you a chance
organize your thoughts and prioritize your
responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better
understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The
unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your
mind will feel less encumbered
