Market women protest ASUU strtike.
“We all know what they do with our year-one daughters in the university. We equally know that they sell handouts and handbooks.
“Is this not worse than corruption of the highest order?”
On FG/ASUU agreement
Asked why she did not criticise the Federal Government for failing to reach an agreement with ASUU, Mrs Sani said: “Which agreement? How do you expect lecturers in state universities to earn same salaries as Federal ones? That is impossible.
“We are not educated, but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost same price as a hotel in Abuja.
“They are located in different places. So how can a state university lecturer earn same salary with his federal counterpart?
“We are begging them for the last time. If we come out again we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them with so many jobless Nigerians.”

‘FG to complete rehabilitation of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in 2 weeks’
The Federal Government has promised to complete, within two weeks,
the ongoing rehabilitation of sections of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
that usually cause traffic gridlocks.
Commuters plying the road usually complain of wasting valuable man-hours trying to get through some sections of the road washed out by the rains.
The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos State, Olutoyin Obikoya, stated that the Federal Ministry of Works had mobilized Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) to carry out urgent rehabilitation works on the bad sections within two weeks.
Obikoya, who is the engineers’ representative on the reconstruction of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (section I), appealed to people using the road to be patient, explaining that the work would be done to ensure the road remained in good condition for a long time.
Movement on the road, he said, was being slowed by the construction of an additional lane on the Ibadan-bound stretch and the mounting of concrete median at some points.
He further said that “the ministry has been carrying out palliative works on the road and it is this construction work that is causing the slow traffic. They are working on the road and once it is done, movement will be better.”
The construction company, he disclosed, would not work during the holidays, adding that after the holidays, work would be intensified to ensure it is completed within two weeks.
He said it is the Lagos-bound lane that has more bad portions, stating that the pace of work had been slowed by the rains that washed off the chippings put on the road by the construction company.
“We want to finish the work up to the stage of putting binder and, hopefully, this will not be washed off by rain. It only means it will be more expensive. The slow traffic will ease off in two weeks,”Obikoya said.

Eminem Is No 'Rap God'
That's fine, because no one is asking him to start an art collective or bring left-field electronica into the limelight. Those who are still asking Em for anything should be pleased enough with this latest offering. Like "Berzerk" and "Survival" before it, "Rap God" features the dude aggressively rhyming his ass off, melding modern cadences with vintage battle styles, and never-gets-old fast-rap. That's all fine and well, but amidst all of that shock-and-awe, the content is occasionally cringe-worthy. Suggesting that his competition needs maxi-pads is awfully ridiculous-sounding in 2013, as are Ray J references (no one cares), and the line, "How could I not blow? All I drop is F-bombs."
So he raps about inducting Run-D.M.C. into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, identifying himself as an elder statesman (perhaps worth holy anointment) but then weirdly openly admits to not being as popular as he used to be. When Kanye roars "I am a god," the listener knows better than to argue. When Eminem opens this song, it's with a gussied-up whimper: "I'm beginning to feel like a rap god."
Really, dude? Weren't you already there in, like, 1999? As we learned last week, au courant flourishes on the retro-looking MMLP2 are coming via Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, fun.'s Nate Ruess, and Skylar Grey. The album's cover (and title) harks back to 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP, with a foreclosed-upon twist.
