~1.4 mins read

SARS officers attached to the command headquarters in Asaba , Delta State, have been accused of assaulting and extorting money from a 26-year-old man named Samuel.

The alleged attack took place on Saturday, August 22, and was brought to social media by activist Harrison Gwamnishu.

According to Harrison, the victim was on a motorcycle with his girlfriend when he was accosted by the officers at Koka Junction in the state capital.

Harrison added that Samuel's only crime was that he was wearing a dreadlock hairstyle. As a result, the officers allegedly tortured him and his girlfriend.

Gwamnishu said, “The SARS officers dragged him from the Okada and forced him and his girlfriend into their car.

"The victims demanded to know where they were being taken to but the officers responded by macheting Samuel’s leg.

"They seized his ATM card and forced him to disclose his pin and withdrew N15,400 from his account.

"I’m calling on the Delta State government to please intervene by putting an end to the constant harassment Nigerians face from SARS.”

10 Dangerous Side Effects Of Artificial Sugar That You Are Not Aware Of
~3.1 mins read
Don't rush the article...Take your time and read in between lines.....Health is wealth°°°

Below aee some of the dangerous effects of Artificial Sugar intake that most people don't knoe.

➡️1. Sugar causes glucose levels to spike and plummet.

Unstable blood sugar can leave you experiencing mood swings, fatigue, and headaches. It also contributes to cravings, which begins the cycle of false hunger. By contrast, those who avoid sugar report having fewer cravings while feeling more emotionally balanced and energized.

➡️2. Sugar increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

While we all like to indulge once in a while, foods that quickly affect blood sugar contribute to a greater risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.1 Emerging research also suggests connections between these high-glycemic diets and various forms of cancer.2,3,4 These effects are often a result of added sugars working in your body, so be sure to read those nutrition labels.

➡️3. Your immune function can be affected by sugar.

As if being sick wasn’t bad enough, studies have shown that sugar can interfere with the way your body fights disease.5 Bacteria and yeast feed on sugar, so excess glucose in the body causes these organisms to build up and cause infections.

➡️4. A high-sugar diet can lead to chromium deficiency.

Chromium, a trace mineral, helps regulate blood sugar in the body. While it can be found in meats, seafood, and plant foods, 90% of Americans still don’t get enough chromium because of refining starches.6 Other carbohydrates can also rob foods of their chromium supplies, so limiting your carbs is your best bet for increasing those mineral levels.

➡️5. Sugar accelerates aging.

While you probably know that sugars can affect your body composition, they can also mess with your skin by contributing to wrinkles and sagging. After sugar hits your bloodstream, it attaches to proteins. The mix of these proteins with sugar causes the skin to lose elasticity and leads to premature aging.

➡️6. Sugar causes tooth decay.

With all the other life-threatening effects of sugar, we sometimes forget the most basic cosmetic damage it does. When it sits on your teeth, sugar causes decay more efficiently than any other food.8 It’s important to brush your teeth at least twice a day to stop sugars from fueling plaque and bacteria.

➡️7. Sugar can cause gum disease, which can lead to heart disease.

Increasing evidence shows that chronic infections, like those that result from dental problems, play a role in the development of heart disease.9 Most researchers believe that the connection stems from the body's inflammatory response to infection. Luckily, this works both ways. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will decrease your risk of common illnesses, which reduces the chance that they’ll become a more serious condition later on.

➡️8. Sugar affects cognition in children.

Let’s not forget about our little ones! When New York City public schools reduced the amount of sugar in their lunches and breakfasts, their academic ranking increased 15.7% (previously, the greatest improvement ever seen had been 1.7%).11 The study also eliminated artificial colors, synthetic flavoring, and two preservatives, showing the importance of natural ingredients for children.

➡️9. Sugar increases stress.

When we’re under stress, our bodies immediately kick into fight-or-flight mode, releasing large amounts of hormones. Surprisingly, the body has the same chemical response when blood sugar is low. After you eat a sweet snack, stress hormones begin to compensate for the crash by raising your blood sugar. The result? Unexplained anxiousness, irritability, and even shakiness.

➡️10. Sugar takes the place of important nutrients.

According to USDA data, people who consume the most sugar have the lowest intakes of essential nutrients––especially vitamins A, C, B-12, and calcium. The trade-off is especially dangerous for children and teens, who simultaneously consume the most sugar and need the most nutrients.

These 20+ Photos Of Islam Wedding Gowns Will Melt Your Heart. So Decent, You Might Want To Try Them
~7.6 mins read


When it comes to modesty, give it to Islam. Revering God is the most important guideline for Muslim women when they choose their dress especially for Nikah (wedding). The righteous reverent woman will know that God is always watching her, she will therefore dress modestly and in line with God's requirements for decency and morality. Any woman knows full well what clothes are considered decent and what clothes are revealing, she will not need to be told. This is why God set the rule of reverence as the first rule.


Hijab is the term used by many Muslim women today to describe their head cover. The Arabic word 'hijab' literally means barrier or veil. Other meanings for the word 'hijab' include, screen, cover(ing), mantle, curtain, drapes, partition, division, divider, barrier.

The word 'hijab' is used in 7 Quranic verses. The verses are: 7:46, 33:53, 38:32, 41:5, 42:51, 17:45 and 19:17.

None of these occurrences of the word 'hijab' mean a head cover for women.

God knows that there would come a time when Muslims will use the word 'hijab' to invent a dress code that God Himself never authorised. God used the word 'hijab' ahead of them just as He used the word 'hadith' ahead of them (45:6).


Hence, in this article, we shall be looking at photos of islam wedding gowns that looks so beautiful and decent.


Every lady's dream is to have a beautiful wedding outing but that it doesn't mean that you should go nude because of this. You can wear beautiful wedding gown without exposing your body.

This is the reason why I've compiled the photos of Islam wedding gowns you can wear on your wedding day.


These are the photos below;

Now, let's do something prophetic... In the comment section below, write down the year you wish to get married with faith and trust me, either, you believe it or not... It is coming to pass.

UNILAG Senate Meets To Appoint Acting VC
~4.4 mins read
The Senate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, will Monday morning meet to appoint an acting vice-chancellor as recommended by the Visitor to the institution – President Muhammadu Buhari.

As of Sunday night, more than 140 professors have signed for the convocation of the emergency senate meeting, The signatories are already more than half of the senate’s roughly 230 members and four times more than the required 25 to convey such meetings.

The senate meeting is one of the decisions contained in the federal government’s recommendations announced on Friday night, which are aimed at addressing the lingering crisis rocking the university.

The government had also mandated both the pro-chancellor, Wale Babalakin, and the vice-chancellor, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, to step aside from office pending the conclusion of the task before a seven-member special visitation panel appointed to dispassionately look into the crisis.

The panel is to be chaired by a former vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Tukur Sa’ad.

Mr. Sa’ad, a professor, was in office between 2002 and 2007, and was also a resident electoral commissioner in Borno State.

One of the key decisions to be reached at Monday’s senate meeting is the appointment of a new acting vice-chancellor for the institution.

Those in contention for the coveted office are more than eight professors including those whose retirement is due in less than four months.

Those who have reportedly signified their intention include a former deputy vice-chancellor of the university, Babajide Alo, and a former registrar of the Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEP), Duro Ajeyalemi.

But others who are being prodded by various camps among the senate members include the former acting vice-chancellor who was controversially appointed by the governing council following the controversial removal of Mr Ogundipe, Omololu Soyombo; two deputy vice-chancellors – Ben Oghojafor and Folasade Ogunsola – and the provost of the university’s college of medicine, Afolabi Lesi.

Others who are being rooted for, include a former director-general of the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC), Duro Oni, and the incumbent dean of the faculty of Law, Ayo Atsenuwa.

It is not clear what specific criteria the university would use in the selection of the acting vice-chancellor but both Alo and Ajeyalemi have declared their interest. Both men belong to the oldest generation of professors on the campus. Chioma Agomo, the former dean of the Law faculty, who chaired the senate meeting that countered Mr Ogundipe’s removal and led a three-member committee to submit the senate’s position in Abuja, also belongs to this generation.

While Mr Ajeyalemi is due for retirement in November, Mr Alo, a former deputy vice-chancellor in charge of management services during the administration of the immediate past vice-chancellor, Ramon Bello, will also exit the system by early 2021. But this is the same argument being deployed by many of the senate members to counter their nomination, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

Another opinion among many senate members is that the two deputy vice-chancellors, Messrs Oghojafor and Ogunsola, were part of the embattled management of the university, and that they were not impartial in the crisis. Their reappointment as deputy vice-chancellors was also yet to be ratified by the governing council before the imbroglio.

But for the provost of the medical college, Mr Lesi, many are of the view that he is the third in the hierarchy of the university’s organogram. His supporters argue that since he is also a governing council member and was not mentioned in the Saminu Dagari-led committee report that indicted Mr Ogundipe, he should be allowed to step in.
But his opponents have suggested that being a provost should not be seen as an automatic endorsement, and have insisted on giving chance to others. Those who hold this view have suggested the likes of Atsenuwa, who they claimed was part of those who rose to the challenge and represented the senate in Abuja to protest the council’s decision.

Meanwhile, a professor of Finance, Ayo Olowe, has canvassed support for Mr Soyombo. In a letter to the university community personally signed by Mr Olowe and distributed via social media on Sunday, he maintained that the federal government’s silence on the status of the acting vice-chancellor in its recommendations should be seen as an endorsement.

He, therefore, appealed to the senate to disregard the reported resignation of Mr Soyombo as acting VC, claiming he was yet to formally notify the university’s council through the registrar, Oladejo Azeez.

He wrote; “Luckily for us, though Prof. Soyombo has issued a press statement, he has not submitted any letter to the registrar or governing council stepping down his appointment. This is an internal UNILAG matter not for the press. By implication, he is still the acting vice-chancellor. We need somebody like Prof. Omololu Soyombo to save the university out of the current crisis.”

There is yet to be any argument against the former CBAAC DG, Mr Oni, but the former deputy vice-chancellor seems not to be the favourite of many of his colleagues reportedly due to his discipline and principles.

None of the contenders who were approached by our reporter agreed to speak on the matter while other senate members only spoke on the condition anonymity.

The leadership of the university’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has said all the contenders are members of its union, and so it would not support any candidate.

According to the union’s chairman, Dele Ashiru, the union stands for due process and it would enjoin the professors who are to take part in the process to ensure that due process is followed.

ASUU has been vociferous in its opposition against the chairman of the university’s governing council, Mr. Babalakin, especially over the crisis on the campus.

“Everyone interested in becoming the acting VC is in one way or the other our member. So it will be wrong for the union to throw its weight behind anyone. However, we will plead with the senate to conduct the process in a very civil and legal way. The university is bigger than anybody’s ambition,” Mr Ashiru told our reporter on the phone.
