United Airlines to End Their Flights to Nigeria Next Month
After many years of operating a daily route from Houston to Lagos, United Airlines will stop flying to Nigeria next month. Their last fight will be on June 30th, ending the airline's only route to Africa. They confirmed this to a twitter user who asked them if it was true.
According to reports, United Airlines is ending their flights to Nigeria for two major reasons asides the one they mentioned above.
1, the weakness in the energy sector in Nigeria and 2. they (and other airlines) have been having difficulties collecting money from airline tickets sold in Nigeria.
Nigeria in the last few months have restricted the amount of money that can be moved abroad after the global slump in oil prices depleted our dollar reserve. Nigeria owed airlines about $575 million in air fares as of March 31, according to the International Air Transport Association.
United is not the first airline to end it's route to Nigeria. British Airways had also allegedly threatened to stop flying to Nigeria if something is not done about their money being stuck here.
Delta Airlines will now be the only major U.S. carrier flying to Africa.
United Airlines closing shop here means a lot of Nigerians will lose their jobs.
Female University Student Commits Suicide Due to Late Registration
This is a real shame! A female student in the Department of Library Science, Faculty of Education, Bayero University Kano (BUK), Sarah Imoleaya Ighidabo, has ended her life by drinking Sniper.
She left a suicide note saying that she has failed to meet a dateline for the registration of an elective course.
In the note she said, “I will not apply for course suspension my academics is all I live for, if I can’t get it right, fuck existing.”
Sarah, from Edo State, failed an elective course unit in the faculty of sciences after missing examinations and was made to repeat the course. She had passed all her major courses in Library Science, but by missing registration of her elective course, it meant that she was not enrolled for the course during the semester and had to retake the course next year.
However, on Thursday May 12, 2016, the deceased went to the faculty’s office to see if anything could be done about her case, but she found out that it was too late to make any amends.
Consequently, she became restless, left the office and descended the stairs to where she had kept her bag. There, she was said to have written a suicide note and brought out a container of Sniper insecticide used mostly in driving away soil borne pests and drank it. She left her mobile phone, charger, suicide note, her bag and the container under the staircase and returned to the office.
A source in the Computer Science Department told Daily Trust that soon after the student was told that her registration for the course was incomplete due to a late registration, she left the office without talking to anybody.
The source added that it seemed the student had already planned the suicide even before she encountered some challenges in the process of her registration.
“She drank the insecticide under the staircase and left the container, her handbag, phone charger and other belongings in a hidden corner,” the source said.
“When she returned to the office, she began to complain of a chest pain and, in no time, she lost her consciousness. She was then rushed to the university clinic.
“But the problem was beyond the university clinic and she was taken to AKTH (Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital) and that was where she died,” said the source.
Immediately after the incidence occurred, the news went round the campuses and sent the faculty into a state of shock.
Daily Trust gathered that by the time that the news of her death filtered out, the empty container of the Sniper, her handbag, registration forms, bank payment receipts and phone charger were discovered by some students under the staircase.
The registration forms contained her name, registration number (Edu/12/LIS/00195), mode of entry, which is Direct Entry (DE), date of birth (01/01/1970), local government of origin (Etsako East local government) and her state of origin, Edo State.
The forms also contained her home address (Yelwa Television, Kaduna), her marital status, (single) and her next of kin.
Philomena Umoru was stated as her mother’s name. She resides in the same area in Kaduna.
The student’s payment form of N29, 000 in the First Bank of Nigeria, Kuje branch, also contained her phone number and email address.
On the top of the form and at its bottom, a hand writing indicating: “Library & Information Science LIS4205,” was seen.
At the back of one of the two forms, the student wrote a message that read: “I will not apply for course suspension. My academic is all I live for. If I can’t get it right, fuck existing.”
Daily Trust learnt that a similar message was found in her room outside the campus.
Prostit*te Cuts off Customer's Genitals with Knife After Payment Dispute
A man has had his pen*s cut off following a dispute over payment with a prostit*te. The man is thought to have had s*x with a woman working as a s*x worker but the pair had not agreed on payment, leading to the alleged attack.
The man’s genitals were placed in a black paper bag and he was admitted to hospital in Nakuru, Kenya, “bleeding excessively”.
Investigators are now searching for the alleged attacker.
Local police Chief Stephen Macharia said: "The victim told me that he picked the woman from the streets but unfortunately they did not agree on payment in exchange for s*x, only for her to attack him with a sharp knife." Authorities said they recovered two blood-stained knives from the victim’s house.
After the attack, the man was discovered by his nephew. His aunt later arrived and described the scene: "Being a woman, my nephew did not explain to me what transpired but I was shocked the house was full of blood including his clothing,” she told local newspaper The Standard.
“He called the taxi driver who rushed him to the hospital,” she added.
"He was in deep pain when I found him in the house,” the taxi driver told the newspaper. “He said that a woman, whom he picked from the streets, had chopped off his manhood."
The driver said the man also managed to tell him his genitals were in a black paper bag but was unconscious when he was admitted to hospital.
"The patient was received bleeding excessively after his private parts were chopped off,” said Gender Violence Recovery Centre officer, Angela Gwaro. “He was taken to theatre and his condition has been stabilised."
Urologists will now work with the man to find a way to allow him to urinate.
