LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR ORDERED THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CHRISLAND SCHOOL FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF A STUDENT
~6.5 mins read
LAGOS—The Lagos State Goverment, yesterday, ordered the temporary closure of Chrisland School, located at Opebi-Ikeja, following the death of a student of the school, Whitney Adeyemi
The order was contained in a statement by the state Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, yesterday.
Adefisayo said the closure was ordered pending the outcome of a full investigation into the unfortunate incident.
According to her, “On behalf of the state Ministry of Education, we commiserate with Mr. and Mrs. Adeyemi, parents of Whitney, over the death of their daughter.
“We also note the impact of this unfortunate event on family, friends and acquaintances of Whitney and call for calm as we assure that no effort will be spared in investigating the incident. We, pray for the repose of her soul.”
Meanwhile, controversy is trailing the circumstances surrounding the death of Whitney, whose demise occurred during the school’s sporting competition last Thursday.
This followed claims by some of the students that 12-year-old Whitney was electrocuted, contrary to claims by the management of Chrisland International High School, that she slumped in the full glare of other students and not under any hidden circumstances.
But the bereaved father, Dr. Michael Adeniran, said the battle line had been drawn, as legal action would be filed against the school over its comment that his late daughter was sick.
Electrocution
Some of late Whitney’s schoolmates, who claimed to have witnessed the incident that led to her demise, said she “was electrocuted by a naked wire from a cotton candy machine.”
One of them, in an audio recording on a school group chat, said Whitney and her friend had gone to buy candy at a cotton candy stand that fateful day when tragedy struck.
According to the student, “I don’t know what happened when they got to the stand, whether she placed her hand or leg on something. But, we noticed all of a sudden that a strong force pulled Whitney up and threw her on the ground. That was when people started pouring water on her. Immediately, the owner of the candy stand switched off the machine and ran away through the fence.
“There were no medical personnel to attend to Whitney or administer first aid on her before taking her to the hospital. It was fellow students that were pouring water on her, until the school nurse arrived. The nurse couldn’t do much, so they had to convey her in the school bus since there was no ambulance at the venue.”
School’s position
But the school exonerated itself from culpability, explaining that its immediate response was to identify the nearest medical facility, where the doctor on duty administered oxygen and every aid possible on her.
The school in a statement by its management said: “The management and staff of Chrisland Schools Limited are heartbroken and distressed over the death of our precious student, Whitney Adeniran, whose painful exit occurred on February 9, 2023.
“Whitney was one of our Day students, who opted not to participate in the Inter-House Sports march-past for reasons we were not very sure about. However, on discretion, we respected her decision to err on the side of caution because on January 20, 2023, it is in our records that she complained about not too buoyant health and we immediately contacted her parents. Her father, Mr. Michael Adeniran, came to the school to take her home. We emphasized to her parents to take a critical look at her.
“It is instructive to state that Whitney slumped in public view and not under any hidden circumstances whatsoever.”
How I found out my daughter died during inter-house sports —Mother
Mrs. Blessing Adeniran, Whitney’s mother, has taken to social media to narrate how she found out her daughter had died.
In the video on her Instagram page, yesterday, the tearful mother said she was told her daughter slumped and had been rushed to the hospital.
Blessing said she immediately rushed to the hospital but had a hard time finding it because she was given the wrong address. However, after she finally located where her daughter was, she said Whitney was already dead and her lips and tongue were black.
Narrating her ordeal, she said: “We drove out of the stadium to the gate, we asked the gatemen (for the hospital), they didn’t know. As we were driving around, we were asking people where we can find Central Hospital but they all said they only knew Agege General Hospital. When we couldn’t locate the place, we decided to go to Agege Central Mosque and on our way to the mosque, we saw the school bus packed, so, we knew we were at the place.
“I jumped down from the car when we saw the school bus and rushed in. I saw the staff that went with her (Whitney) and I asked her ‘Madam, where is my child, what happened, why did she faint,’ she (the staff) said ‘I don’t know, she’s in there’. I went in there and I saw my daughter’s corpse, Desola didn’t say anything to me. I went in there and I met my daughter on her deathbed, she was already dead.
“She was drenched, soaked to the skin, water was dripping. I knelt down, I called on God, I shouted, I screamed. I felt her pulse, there was no pulse. My daughter was silent. I asked the doctor what happened to my daughter and he said from the look of things she died of cardiac arrest.
“How does a 12-year-old have a cardiac arrest? No pre-existing heart condition, no pre-existing medical condition. She was hale and hearty, she was not sick in any form. Even if she will die from cardiac arrest, why should one arrest kill a healthy teenager? Let me state this, that by the time I got there, my daughter’s lips and tongue had already turned black.”
Blessing added that her daughter as not taken to a hospital but an immunisation centre, adding that there was no proper first aid management.
She said: “My child was not taken to a hospital, she was taken to an immunisation centre but that is not even my pain. My pain is there was no proper first aid management, there was nothing that was done for her, she was brought to the hospital dead.”
It would be recalled that Michael Adeniran, Whitney’s father had taken to social media on Saturday night to demand a probe into the death of his daughter, calling on the Lagos State government and the police to intervene in the matter, also demanding for Chrisland to explain what actually happened to his daughter.
Bereaved father
But Dr. Adeniran, father of the deceased, who addressed newsmen at his Ikeja residence, refuted claims by the school that his daughter was sick.
As a way of unraveling the exact cause of his daughter’s death, he disclosed that he had begun a legal process to ensure justice was served on the matter.
He said: “I gave birth to Whitney in 2010 and since that day till date, my daughter never slept in the hospital.
“If my child was sick, who should know? The teachers in school or the parents that gave birth to her? A child that was healthy, they are telling me that my child was sick and emotional?
“What I’m engaging with Chrisland now is a legal battle. Everything I need to do legally has started and one thing I can guarantee Chrisland is, they should get their lawyers ready while I get mine ready. They are afraid of going to court because they killed my child.
“If they think they know the judges or ministers, I am ready because I have Nigerians right behind me.
“Chrisland should make sure they don’t go and bribe the Pathology Department of Lagos State. They initially told me not to go for an autopsy. But suddenly, they are coming to tell me that I should make sure the autopsy is done, meaning they have gone to bribe their way through. But I will give them a shocker of their life.
“As much as they know what killed my child and are not telling me, the battle line is drawn. They can bribe, whoever, they want to bribe but they won’t escape this. You killed my child and told me she slumped and died. They have forgotten fellow students were there as eyewitnesses and they will talk.
“If they want to shut the mouths of two students, they cannot shut the mouths of 500 students. It can be them tomorrow too.”
Police confirm incident
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident yesterday, said the matter was reported to the police immediately after the incident occurred.
He said: “Yes, the case has been reported to the police. It was reported immediately the incident happened on Thursday.
“The case is currently at the State Criminal Investigation Department and an autopsy is going to be carried out to know the circumstances that led to her death. That’s all the update I have for now.”

Fears As Binance Stops USD Deposits, Withdrawals
~1.7 mins read
Crypto exchange, Binance has announced that it will temporarily suspend USD deposits and withdrawals on February 8th because of an administrative issue.
A Binance spokeswoman told WatcherGuru that affected clients would be notified individually and that the suspension would affect only 0.01% of monthly active users.
Though the information appears to be regular, crypto users have expressed worries on as many strong and successful crypto enterprises have experienced an unexpected crash in recent weeks.
“We are temporarily suspending USD bank transfers as of February 8th. Affected customers are being notified directly. All other methods of buying and selling crypto remain unaffected, including bank transfers using one of the other fiat currencies supported by Binance (including Euros), buying and selling crypto via credit card, debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and via our Binance P2P marketplace” Binance spokesman said.
Also, the spokesman for Binance confirmed that “all other methods of buying and selling crypto remain unaffected,” including bank transfers using one of the other fiat currencies offered by Binance.
Binance’s hurriedly stated intention to suspend USD withdrawal and deposit is not the cryptocurrency company’s first such abrupt measure. Something quite similar happened late last year.
The exchange announced the suspension of UDSC stablecoin withdrawals on December 12th, following the fall of FTX.
This brought about worry from users who predicted that the largest cryptocurrency company would face the same fate as FTX.
However, CEO Changpeng Zhao added in a tweet that, as the exchange witnessed an increase in USDC withdrawals, the exchange opted to suspend withdrawals because the banks that might honor them were closed.
Zhao’s answer calmed the users’ fears and suspicions.
Users are urged to remain calm and assured that nothing disastrous or terrible will happen to their funds as a result of this latest upgrade.
Users should expect a more detailed explanation of the administrative issue from the Binance team.
The company has shown to be one of the greatest and most honest cryptocurrency companies and so, there is no cause for concern.
The cryptocurrency exchange has no record of any wrongdoing or anomalies. Users can feel certain that nothing fishy is taking place.
Binance announced the debut of Binance Tax on Monday, a service that will endear many users to the platform while also ensuring taxation is easily tracked and computed.

Why I Dumped Music For Mass Communication - Korede Bello
~1.0 mins read
Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter Oluwakorede Bello has disclosed why he dumped his successful music career to pursue a degree in Mass Communication.
Korede, best known for his hit single “Godwin”, a semi-gospel/pop song that topped many music charts across Nigeria, signed a record deal with Mavin Records with the release of the globally successful hit song “Dorobucci” in 2014.
But at the peak of his career, the singer returned to school to pursue a degree in Mass Communication.
In a recent interview with The New Telegraph, the singer opens up about how he has been able to cope with the mental health struggles that come with being in the entertainment industry, as well as his decision to leave his music career and study mass communication.
“I love education, not so much traditional education, but I love to learn how the world works and how the human mind operates. So getting a degree in Mass Communication seemed congruent with my profession,” he said.
Speaking further, he said: “Writing a headline is similar to writing a chorus. They both have to be catchy and evoke some emotional reaction. Music and news are both languages of emotional connection. So, it is a good thing to be educated on your passion. I have observed that you can be the most famous or richest person on earth and still be unhappy or unsatisfied on the inside.”

What Exactly Do Women Want
~2.1 mins read
I seat and wonder to myself what women really want. The most difficult thing to do is determine how to satisfy a woman,let me explain.
Its only a woman that will say she want to be an independent Lady with no man because they are distraction but end up having craving for a mechanic that they call on demand to service there engine once it dry.
Women the try about life is that you can't eat you cake and have it. Its only a woman that will want a rich husband that works Sunday to Sunday and still complain he does not have her time and when he does,she will complain either its too small or the satisfaction ain't up to standard. Still on the matter, its only a woman that will say " I want a man with a big p****" but when they do they will start complaining and even go ahead to end the relationship because in their words " the p*** is too big", and when they see a moderate size,they complain it small or the duration is not long.
Ladies one advice for you; Most men that are very well to do or are always busy with work don't have either the duration or size you want and thats because of stress, and the once that have the duration and mega size u ladies end up still complaining about are the once Una dy call " upcoming, or broke or moderate or not meeting your expensive life style".
Another advice; Ladies you Man is not your ATM card with pin number. Most ladies once they have a man,they expect its his full responsibility to take KIA of her every needs including the ones that are extravagant and when you don't you are tagged " Stingy" and still expect he should still be superman on bed." Madam you no go pity am".
A man has responsibility and should know what he is to do, so stop pouring 100% of ur financial needs on him and when he talks you reply will now be " am I not also giving u my body", after all before he was there,you were doing your finance by yourself.
To the ladies that want to get married,always support your husband financially. Yes its his responsibility to take KIA of the financial needs of the house but help out,don't seat back and watch him carry all the load of the family financially because he is the man,your responsibility as a wife is to support him. One secret I will give you is; that little thing as small as dstv sub or light bill u decide to take off his place and u are paying every month,he brags about you in front of his friends " that you are a supportive wife".
To the Guys, never ever date a woman for sex. Don't allow sex be the first priority or reason for going into a relationship because the day she stops giving you sex or u find someone that gives you better or a better style,that relationship /Marriage has ended

After months of surveillance and evading arrest, Ukatu who is Chairman of Mallinson Group of Companies was eventually nabbed onboard a flight to Abuja at the MM2 terminal of the Lagos airport, Ikeja on Wednesday 13th April.

Ukatu owns Pharmaceutical and plastic manufacturing company, which he used as a cover to import illicit drugs into Nigeria. This is in addition to operating 103 bank accounts, most of which are used for launder money.
Ukatu came under watch last year after five carton of Tramadol 225mg were seized from his staff on 4 may 2021 when he sent them to undercover police officer(unknown to Ukatu) from the then Kyari- led IRT of the Nigeria police, Ikeja Lagos. The price of the cartons of Tramadol was negotiated at N17million each as against the black market value that ranged between N18million and N20million a carton in Lagos.

After over eight months of following the lead, antinarcotic officers of the Agency eventually arrested Ukatu at the Lagos airport on 13th April 2022. Kyari and four top members of his team are already facing trial for different but similar offence at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The incident was said to have occurred at a beer Parlour in Abasha area of the town when Muslim faithful were observing late evening prayer.
An anonymous source told our correspondent that , "we were observing the late evening prayer at 8pm and all of a sudden, we heard aloud explosion and after the prayer, we were told that it was a suspected IED that exploded in the Abasha area".
