STUDENTS PHONES SNATCHERS
If only Government will provide Industrial Attachment/vacation jobs for students I don’t think snatching of bag and collecting of phones by student will be going on.
There’s a proverbs that says an idle mind is a devils workshops. When ever some students find themselves Idle, they engages in some illegal activities, just on Tuesday a male student (name withheld) of IMSU was camps gist reported to how some fellow student stopped him and his friend at Item street requesting for their phones “Imagine” on the process of dragging with them he escaped but his friend could not, and they collected his friend’s phone. And all this was happening in a broad day light and no one came close in order not to get involved. We are lacking good security at this part of Owerri, also an Industrial Attachment vocation job centres should be put in place to keep the entire student busy to avoid losing innocent livse.
WOMEN OF EASY VIRTUE
The adage that “your body is the temple of the Almighty God no longer holds for young ladies of this generation. The worst aspect of it is that they seem not to be interested in getting married these days, as the love for money be clouds this very important issues institution. If not so, why must beautiful young lady accept to be a second wife if not for the lust and love for money?
Another very ugly development now is that secondary school female students now go out with men old enough to be their grandfathers in the quest for money and maternal things. What is this world turning into? Recently campus gist heard the irritating discussion of some secondary school girls in a taxi where one of them told the other girl that she is tired of her sugar Daddy because he does not bring out money as before but is always telling stories.
Fortunately I have run into a new man that is ready to pay my bills. The other girl exclaimed “O girl” you have to take it easy, the way you change man and she busted said “What is there” “I give him what he wants and he pays my bills it was really shocking to campus gist. If a secondary school student should be thinking this way it means the world is really coming to an end. Campus gist warns that every one has to be cautious and ready at all times to avoid “HAD I KNOWN”
Extortion Endangers Graduating Students
Service Call Up In IMSU.
Fresh fears has emerged that extortion activities currently going on in Imo State University Owerri, may endanger it’s graduating students service call up.
‘Campus gist’ recently observed that the Exams Records Department of the Institution has turned to an internal revenue generating center.
According to one of the victims who preferred to remain anonymous, the racketing business is not just restricted to the Non-Academic staffs of the Department, hoodlums who parade themselves around the offices as secretaries and personal Assistants (PA’s) to the Department leads in charge of the screening exercise for graduating students of the Institution.
It has in fact become a NORM in IMSU, as it is no longer news that if you do not have an ‘Abraham’ (God father) you may just be wasting your time in that Department since every thing is all about the ‘Benjamin’s’ (money).
Heaving observed and gone through this rebellions act, I have now come to terms with the popular Igbo adage that say’s “Ihe ojjo gbaa afo, O buru Omenala”, (when bad things which are supposed to be addressed are over looked, they will become a tradition).
Most of the prospective graduates in IMSU who in less than six days are supposed to be in Orientation camps for the National Youths Service Corp (NYSU) program are yet to be cleared as a result of the ‘Racketing” business popularly known as sorting (bribe)
The source narrated to ‘Campus gist’ that even as the students come as early as 6 to7 am for the screening exercise, the touts who act as syndicates for the screening officers will make them write names which often times is not respected as highest bidders get attended to when the screening officers who report to their offices very late arrive.
He called on the school authorities, especially the Acting vice-chancellor, Prof. B.E.B Nwoko and the Governing Council to use their good office to address the issue in other to save the innocent victims as well as save the image of this great Institution.
Final Exam Madness
…students pour gutter water coke on themselves
By Joshua Ahaneku
It was a scene of temporal madness as final year students of the Imo State University (IMSU) who reside in the hostels located alongItem Streetpoured all sorts of liquids on themselves in celebration of their final exams.
At the Spacia hostel located close to Diamond bankItem Street, students were seen scoping gutter water which they proceeded to pour on their final year colleagues.
Campusgist observed that many of the final year students that just finished their exam and who reside in the hostel ran for their lives when they got wind of the “gutter water baptism” that some of their colleagues were experiencing.
The Campusgist nearly experienced the same type of ‘baptism’ when the students scoping the gutter water asked whether he was a final year student. It took some efforts for campusgist to get out of the situation.
At another hostel along the sameItem Street, it was the same story of temporal madness as the students there used soft drinks as their own ‘baptismal water’
Campusgist observed a female student opening a bottle of coke which she then proceeded to pour on her fellow students. Other students in the same hostel liberally poured full buckets of water on themselves.
While the celebration is seen and taken as part of school fun and life scheme, campusgist advises that caution should be exercised as there have been instances where corrosive acid has been poured on students in the guise of water.
Compusgist wishes the graduating students success in their exams and NYSC.
