Ollachi Holman, a former Igbinedion Secondary School student, describes the brutal bullying and violence she and her classmates endured. She says some peers attempted suicide, while others joined cults for protection.

She recalls teachers ignoring male students who flogged and slapped girls in broad daylight. When armed robbers broke into the girls’ hostel, the school locked students in dorms and refused to alert parents.

Ollachi links lifelong trauma, drug addiction and even her brother’s death to the school’s abuse. She urges all former students, including ex-bullies, to speak out and hold the Igbinedion Education Centre accountable.

King Comr. Charles Alex, President of the National Association of Science Students (NASS), IAUE Chapter, has led a major effort to upgrade classrooms in the Science Village. He began with a full inspection of damaged furniture and identified key areas for repair.

To keep standards high, Comr. Alex has issued a warning: any student caught dirtying the classrooms will either pay a ₦1,000 fine or clean the rooms for a full week. A monitoring committee will soon enforce these rules.

I spent months hunting for scholarships in Kenya by randomly clicking links and checking scattered sites. Every source I found was half-baked, outdated, or confusing.

One day I realised the mistake: I had no system. I was letting deadlines slip and missing great opportunities because my research was all over the place.

Then I found a single page that collects government, international, and university scholarships in one place. It even explains eligibility and application steps. That organised approach saved me time and opened up options I never knew existed.

If you’re searching for scholarships, stop relying on random links. Use a consolidated source, stay organised, and you might discover you’re eligible for more than you thought.

Delays in stipend payments hurt trainee morale and threaten the success of Nigeria’s 6-month and 1-year TVET programs under the Ministry of Education. These initiatives must equip young Nigerians with real, employable skills.

Prompt stipend disbursement will sustain focus and productivity. We must end corrupt delays and fund mismanagement. Youth deserve transparency and accountability, not empty promises.

National growth demands integrity in every process. When we value and support our young people, they gain skills and help build a stronger nation. We call on the World Bank, Federal Government, Ministry of Finance, EFCC, and ICPC to act now.

Let’s raise our voices together—respectfully, consistently, and collectively. #PayTrainees #TVETNigeria #SupportYouth #Transparency

Coal City University emphasizes that it has not established a Faculty of Law. No students have been admitted into an LL.B. programme.

All our academic programmes and admissions follow National Universities Commission (NUC) regulations. Any claim to the contrary is entirely false and misleading.

We urge the public to disregard the erroneous publication. A formal request for retraction and an unreserved apology has been sent to the newspaper in question.

A Magistrates’ Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has adjourned the case filed by the National Association of Private School Owners (NAPS) to April 16, 2026.

The court advised NAPS, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) to pursue an amicable settlement through dialogue. It stressed the importance of restraint and constructive engagement.

NAPS is challenging overlapping tax demands imposed on private schools by both the FCTA and AMAC. Counsel Alexander N. Ogbo said the dual levies disrupt school operations and create confusion, calling for harmonised regulatory responsibilities.

NAPS President Rukayat Agboola urged the creation of a single regulatory channel to streamline directives. The association is seeking a court order to halt multiple taxation and ensure clear oversight.

Education once promised social mobility. Today, it teeters between promise and collapse. Nigeria’s system still bears colonial legacies and neglect.

Almost 19 million children are out of school. Classrooms are overcrowded. Infrastructure is falling apart. Teachers and lecturers go unpaid or sleep in offices.

We need bold reforms. Increase funding to at least 15% of the national budget. Appoint experts to lead with transparency. Prioritise educators’ welfare. Only then can Nigeria build its future.

I grew up in a home where parents treated sex talk as taboo. They never discussed it with me or my siblings.

As a result, many young people learn from uninformed friends. I saw this firsthand during my NYSC in Port Harcourt. When someone showed a condom, a fellow corps member laughed and asked what it was for.

This lack of guidance can lead to unintended pregnancies and diseases. Parents should teach children about sex. They need to cover safe sex practices or the option to abstain.

This knowledge protects youth from serious complications and helps them make informed choices.

Staying focused in a noisy world is tougher than ever. Notifications and endless updates compete for your attention. But focus is not just a skill; it is a superpower you can build.

First, notice why your mind drifts. Distractions often start inside your head. When a task feels boring or hard, your brain seeks comfort. A quick check on your phone feels easier than hard work.

Next, do one thing at a time. Multitasking slows you down. Commit to a single task until it reaches a clear stopping point. Your work will be deeper and more accurate.

Finally, set clear reasons for your focus. Remind yourself why each task matters. Work in short bursts with breaks. Practice returning your attention when it wanders. Over time, your focus muscle will grow stronger.

Good day, community.

At ReviewShield, we monitor digital platforms to protect professionals. We are investigating reports that Aureton Business School demands unexpected "verification fees" before releasing diplomas. Standard administrative costs are normal, but this extra out-of-pocket charge signals potential operational risks.

Has anyone here recently received their diploma from Aureton Business School without paying additional fees? We want to know if this is a technical glitch or a systemic problem. Please share your experience and exercise caution with your career investments.

I’m exploring part-time MBA options in Nigeria so I can keep working while studying.

My first choice was Lagos Business School, but the fees are currently beyond my budget. Covenant Business School is full-time only, which doesn’t fit my schedule. UNILAG Business School is convenient since I live in Lagos, but I’m still undecided.

Beyond the certification, I care about the learning experience, teaching quality, and networking opportunities. Has anyone attended UNILAG Business School or know someone who has? Is it worth it? Are there other part-time MBA programs I should consider?

Hello NaijaWorlders,

I have mentored my sister in tech, but she’s now based in Abuja and we want to transition her into construction. I plan to register a construction firm for her soon, but first she needs to build project management skills.

Could you recommend reputable institutes or short courses in Abuja that cover construction project management? We’re also looking for a 3–6 month internship placement on an ongoing site within AMAC to give her practical experience.

We have the capacity to fund her firm, so this is purely to help her gain hands-on knowledge. Thanks in advance for any leads!
