20yr Old Boy Found Hanging In Mother’s Kitchen
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police wants to determine whether the boy, Wale Lijoka, committed suicide or was murdered.Lijoka was found yesterday in a room at No. 2, Olanusi Avenue, a close between Okeloro and Lebi streets in Okitipupa.The body of the deceased was found dangling from the ceiling of his mother's kitchen.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs. Moyin Lijoka, told NAN that the deceased could not have hanged himself, alleging that his death was a conspiracy of friends he had misunderstanding with.
She said the boy, who was an aluminium construction apprentice in Lagos, came to Okitipupa on August 18, 2013, to visit her."I called him on Tuesday evening to follow me to the church for prayers but he refused, only for me to wake up this morning to find his corpse in my kitchen.
"He could not have killed himself; I believe some assailants killed him and hanged him in my kitchen just to cover-up because his legs are not far from the ground. I have called his father, who is a police officer in Ilorin and he said he doesn't want to have any issue with the boy's death, that we should do what pleases us,'' Lijoka said.
Meanwhile, a sympathiser, who preferred to be addressed simply as, Mrs. Ajoke, also corroborated the mother's claim that the boy could not have killed himself.
Ajoke who described the scene as gory, also said the deceased was "a rascal and street fighter" before he was sent to Lagos for apprenticeship. "I saw him when he came home but I don't know if he quarrelled with anyone. From what I observed his body might have been dumped here and made to look like suicide,'' Ajoke said.
Nigerian Students Spend Over N100bn Annually On Tuition In Ghanaian Universities
Former lawmaker and educationists, Senator David Iornem, who disclosed this yesterday at a briefing to mark his 64th birthday anniversary in Makurdi, said the figure represented a major capital flight from the country.
According to him, "available figures show that the over 200,000 Nigerians currently studying in Ghana, expend over N100 billion annually on tuition and sundry fees.
This situation arose because official figures show that out of N1.7million Nigerians seeking admission into institutions of higher learning, only 500,000 find placements leaving many with no other option but to seek admission in Ghana.
The federal government should take immediate steps to unbundling the higher education sector in Nigeria by adopting the United Kingdom, American, Malaysian and German models which allows for the establishment of small university colleges by willing entrepreneurs.
"In these countries, small university colleges which may be affiliated to bigger universities are set up by small scale entrepreneurs with adequate resources. I believe that when we kick start this process, more than 500,000 university places will be created in the first year."This can be achieved by involving small entrepreneurs and allowing existing universities to set up satellite campuses. By the third year of starting this system, no Nigerian youth wanting to enter a university, polytechnic or a college of education will have any difficulty or denied the opportunity to development him or herself.
Prof. Iornem added, "it is totally unacceptable to officially shut the door against young Nigerians wanting admission, thereby, leaving them stranded and hopeless; we must return the higher education sector to its days of glory when brilliant young people were sure of their future."
