#CAMPUSNEWS:: As UI School of Business (UISB) Debuts

As UI School of Business debuts
Source: Sun Newspaper

University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s Premier University is thinking out of the box.  The 65-year old institution is becoming more creative in order to effectively blend with the current trend in this knowledge driven global economy.
In being creative, the university is beginning to take a second look at most of its courses that have been in existence since 1948 when the university was established in relation with the modern demands.
It was George Kneller, author of Existentialism and Education who noted that “creativity consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know.  Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted”.  This is exactly the scenario in UI.  Many things that had hitherto been taken for granted are now receiving serious intellectual interrogation with a view to conforming to the contemporary needs.
 The recently created and inaugurated University of Ibadan School of Business (UISB), where regular and contemporary, short-time courses, customized workshops, consultancy and research for various organizations and companies will be in the offering is one of the fall outs of a new vision.

#CODED-ish News:: [A Must Read] Things you must avoid to find a good Husband- For Nigerian Single Ladies

It is true that civilization has taken over most practices and norms in Nigeria today, but certain practices and beliefs are still being held with tenacity, especially by the Nigerian male population, and in order for you as a single lady, born and living in Nigeria, to stand a greater chance of finding a deserving husband, who would treat you like a true Nigerian man treats his wife (i.e with deep respect, love and care), you really need to let go of some modern or will I say, western practices that have stopped so many Nigerian single ladies from getting married or ending up in a happy marriage.

And what are those things?

#CODED-ish News:: Donald Trump Sued Over ‘Phony’ University

U.S. businessman Donald Trump smiles during a ceremony in which he was awarded an honorary degree, at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen
Trump was forced to change the name of the university. Donald Trump is being sued by New York’s attorney general for $40m (£26m) for his role as chairman of an allegedly fraudulent “Trump University” which promised to make students rich but ended up costing them a fortune.
The American property mogul said Democrat Eric Schneiderman’s lawsuit was false and politically motivated.
Mr Schneiderman said many of the 5,000 students who each paid up to $35,000 (£23,000) for masterclasses thought they would at least meet Mr Trump, but instead all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size picture of The Apprentice star.
“Trump University engaged in deception at every stage of consumers’ advancement through costly programmes and caused real financial harm,” he said.

#CODED-ish News:: How Girl Became Pregnant For Her Mum's Husband- A Story of Neglect

Nancy’s father died in a ghastly motor accident when she was barely two months old. His photographs were always with her but she never knew him. She prodded her mother endlessly to tell her stories about her father and was never tired hearing the same thing over and again.

Anytime she saw her friends with their fathers, she was sad and longed for that person she could refer to as a father. Along the line, she gained admission into a polytechnic to study accountancy.

As a first year diploma student of accountancy, she became really close to Ahmed, a final year HND student of the same department.
They were from the same tribe and spoke the same language. Being a fresher who was largely ignorant about her surroundings and the way things worked, she found succor in him, who was only too glad to provide a shoulder for her to lean on.
While Nancy saw in him a guardian, Ahmed saw in her, a prey he couldn't wait to feast on. He slept with her and deceived her into thinking that he cared very much about her. Shortly before he graduated, he pledged his undying love for her and she believed him. Unfortunately, whatever existed between them both ended as soon as he left.
