WE PREFER FOREIGN UNIVERSITY BECAUSE OF SEX-MARK SYDROME - AKPABIO


Former governor of Akwa Ibom state and senate minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, tabled made his grievances on the eroding moral decadence in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

While making this known on Tuesday during the screening of Isaac Adewole, the ministerial nominee from Osun state, Akpabio said members of the upper legislative chamber are worried by the sex-for-marks syndrome in Nigerian universities.

“In Nigerian universities today, many female students don’t go to class because they know that they will end up sorting,” he said. “The issue of sex-for-marks is very prevalent in Nigerian universities, which is the reason why most of the senators you see here, their female children are not in Nigeria because they do not want lecturers to ask them for sex in favour of marks. “If you end up as a minister, as a member of the federal executive council, how will you advise the federal government to address the issue of ‘national sorting’? The issue is very disturbing.” 

In his response, Adewole addressed virtually all the questions raised by the lawmaker but did not utter a word on Akpabio’s last question.

REVEALED: THE US ARMY IS DEVELOPING THE ULTIMATE 'BIG GUN'

On March 19, U.S. Marine Corps staff sergeant Louis Cardin, a field artilleryman assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit,  died during an attack  on Fire Base Bell outside of Makhmur, Iraq. Coincidentally, the U.S. Army is hard at work developing a farther-firing howitzer that could help keep artillery troops out of range of enemy forces. The Army is cooking up a suite of improvements could double the range of the existing M-777 howitzer. Right now the 155-millimeter gun, in service with the Army and Marines, can lob shells at targets up to 18 miles away. The M-777ER version the Army is working on “will be able to reach out and hit targets … before the targets can reach them,” David Bound, the lead engineer on the project at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey,  told Army reporters . Troops “won’t have to worry about coming into a situation where they are under fire before they can return fire.” The modifications add fewer than 1,000 pounds of extra weight ont...
