Yesterday, the Delta state government presented the sum of N5,000,000
to each of her first Class Graduates to further their education in any
University of their choice, an act which has raised up another round of
debate. This is how it was reported on the Delta State Government’s
Facebook page:
The debate surrounding this presentation comes in different forms. People will always have different opinion, different strokes for different folks. Some
have argued that the sum is too much. Others have said they shouldn’t
have been given the cash, but instead, should have sent the students to
reputable Universities for their Masters Degrees and paid their tuition
fees directly to the Universities.
Whats your opinion?

On October 15th and 16th 2012,Ms. Genevieve Nnaji, and the MAVIN Crew, Don
Jazzy, Dr. Sid, and Tiwa Savage organized relief supplies and personally
visited the refugee camps located in Asaba, Delta State in order to show both
physical and moral support to the displaced victims.
The flood, currently ravaging through the nation has
displaced over 100,000 families, leaving a lot of people homeless and without
any business to keep them afloat. Our Nigerian stars went down to distribute
relief supplies, as well as utilize their celebrity influence and raise more
awareness to this ongoing natural disaster.
The Reach Out Initiative, a program kick-started by the
stars themselves will be utilized to get a lot more people involved, both
within and outside the country in donating help, either through relief supplies
or financial donations.
Genevieve: “This is just the beginning, as our country
has never experienced anything like this. The government is doing the best they
can, but we as citizens, can also partake in helping the situation in the best
way we can. The plan is to get more people involved, and visit more relief
camps in the affected states.”
REACH OUT today in your own little way, your one kobo is another's one naira. Every kobo counts.

A cleric, whose name was given as Obaleme, committed suicide in Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday by setting himself on fire.
It
was gathered that Obaleme, who had recently complained of family
problems, stopped his car on Udu Bridge in Warri, grabbed a can of fuel
and dashed under the bridge.
Eyewitnesses
say he then doused himself with the fuel and set himself ablaze. Before
onlookers could sufficiently quench the fire, the pastor died.
When contacted, Charles Muka, the state’s police spokesperson, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
