Arinze Okolobu, a Nigerian resident in Awka, came across a boy who was sent out of school and promised to pay his school fees henceforth.
According to the post he shared on Facebook, he was on his way to work when he saw the boy crying, trailed by his mother. He stopped them to inquire what the problem was and discovered he had been sent away from school due to non-payment of school fees.
The kind man wrote that he drove them back to the school, paid the fees and even went on to promise to take care of the boy’s education till he gets to University level.
Here’s what he shared below:
“It is Good to be Good. As a Passerby this morning along Capital City Secondary School road, Awka while driving to work, I saw a little boy crying profusely while his Mother walks helplessly along with him, I had to slow down and asked what the problem is?
The mother answered that her son was driven away from school due to tuition and was not allowed to sit for exam this morning.
Behold, I was moved to tears and drove them in my car to the School where I managed to sort out the issue of payment and at the same time was inspired to cater for the Boy’s academics till he enters University.
The School authority were astonished by such gesture of a passerby. Such inspirations of doing good to people is normal to my lifestyle, these are one of the qualities I inculcated from Ohamadike.
The picture (above) is that of me and the boy with the mother.
Really it is Good doing Good.”
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi has disclosed that the country’s football ruling body will pay the players and officials of the senior women national team as soon as funds are available.
The Super Falcons returned from Cameroon on Sunday morning after emerging as champions of the African Women’s Cup of Nations for the eighth time, and Sanusi has appealed to the team to exercise a little patience with the federation which is currently going through recession at the moment.
“We know we have financial commitment to you (players and officials of Super Falcons) and we have not at any time stated otherwise. But the money is not readily available at the moment,” Sanusi told NFF media.
“I have come to appeal to you, to understand the situation of the Federation, to understand the situation of the country at the present and exercise patience.
“We will pay you all monies you are being owed as soon as we receive same from the Government, just as we paid the U17 boys who won the Fifa U17 World Cup in Chile last year, after the tournament.
“And just as we sorted out Coach Samson Siasia’s wages as soon as we had the funds, after the Olympics.”
UPDATE!!!
• Super Falcons Reject $100 a player travelling allowance
Players of the Super Falcons, who on Saturday defeated Cameroon to win their eighth African Women Nations Cup title, yesterday rejected the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) directives to vacate their Agura Hotel, Abuja camp, saying they would not leave the camp until all their emoluments were settled.
The players claim that the NFF has not paid them camp allowances, match bonuses and their coaches’ salaries, which have accrued for over eight months.
One of the players, who pleaded anonymity, told The Guardian that “officials of the federation came to give each of us $100 as transport allowance and told us to go home with the promise that they will pay us in January.
“That was the same trick they used to deceive us after the qualifiers in Abuja and up till now nobody has said anything about the outstanding bills.
“Now, they are telling us that they are making arrangements for the president to host us at the Presidential Villa. All these are stories we are tired of. We want our money, full stop.”
The NFF yesterday pledged to pay the players and their officials for winning the Women Africa Cup of Nations, but it craved the understanding of the team that the money is not readily available at the moment.
In a statement yesterday, NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, who met with the players and officials at the Agura Hotel, said the Federation was not happy owing players and coaches, but present severe economic challenges informed that it could only continue to seek the understanding of these persons, as well as hoteliers, travel agents and Management and Staff until the situation improves.
“There is no gainsaying that there is severe economic challenges and all organisations, whether government or private, are feeling the pinch. It is not Government’s doing; it is not anybody’s doing. We know we have financial commitment to you (players and officials of Super Falcons) and we have not at anytime stated otherwise. But the money is not readily available at the moment.
“I have come to appeal to you, to understand the situation of the Federation, to understand the situation of the country at the present and exercise patience. We will pay you all monies you are being owed as soon as we receive same from the Government, just as we paid the U17 boys who won the FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile last year, after the tournament. And just as we sorted out Coach Samson Siasia’s wages as soon as we had the funds, after the Olympics.”
A Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday sentenced three Bolivians to six years’ imprisonment for dealing in illicit drugs.
The convicts are Reuben Jorge, Yhugo Moreno and Yerko Dorado.
They were sentenced by Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo, who affirmed their guilty plea to the two counts pressed against them by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
The convicts had been in detention since February 3, 2013, when they were arrested by operatives of the NDLEA on Daily Times Estate, Satellite Town, Lagos State, the base where they illegally produced Ephedrine and Methamphetamine.
The convicts were said to have been housed by their Nigerian accomplices between November 2011, and February 2012, before they were caught.
The NDLEA had told the judge that the foreigners violated Section 22 (a) of the NDLEA Act and were liable to be jailed for life or imprisoned for not less than 25 years.
But in her judgment on Tuesday, Justice Oguntoyinbo said what the law prescribed was a maximum of 25 years, but that a judge could, based on his discretion, impose a lesser jail term.
She therefore sentenced the convicts to six years on each count. She said the sentence would run concurrently and would start from February 3, 2013, when they were arrested.
Justice Oguntoyinbo said, “It is, therefore, in the light of Section 22 (a) and Section 12 of the NDLEA Act, that these three defendants, having been found guilty and convicted of the offences alleged in counts one and two of the charge (sheet) dated the 18th day of February, 2013, are now sentenced on count one to a period of six prison years and on count two to a prison period of six years.
“Both sentences shall run concurrently and shall be calculated from the date the defendants were first arrested, which is the 3rd day of February, 2013.
The defendants have benefited from the commitment of their counsel. Both defendants and the NDLEA have a right of appeal.”
Following the judgment, the three convicted foreigners jubilated outside the courtroom where they hugged one another and posed for a snapshot by Punch correspondent.
The convicted foreigners were first arraigned on March 23, 2013, before Justice Ibrahim Buba of the same court, where they earlier pleaded not guilty to the initial six counts pressed against them by the NDLEA.
Following their not guilty plea, Justice Buba admitted them to bail in the sum of N50m each with two sureties in like sum.
The judge said one of the sureties must be an owner of a landed property in Lagos valued at not less than N10m, while the other must be a Bolivian with resident permit in Nigeria.
The foreigners were equally ordered to report weekly and sign an attendance register at the office of the NDLEA, to show that they were still in Nigeria.
They were mandated to sign and file an undertaking that they would not delay trial.
In spite of the bail, the foreigners remained in detention as they found it difficult to perfect the bail

His 34-year-old wife watched in horror as he grabbed a kitchen knife and sliced off his penis, before collapsing on the floor.
She called for help from the couple’s neighbours before a local doctor came to treat him.
The pair, from a village in Uttar Pradesh in northern India, have been married for 18 years.
They have a daughter and two sons together.
Ghasi said: “I was frustrated. We have not had sex for the last ten or 12 years.
“She would never make love to me. She will not sit close to me and always refuses my demands.”
His wife said:
“He would come home drinking every night and never listened to me or cared for me.
“I just simply said no to him as he was drunk and I was very angry with him.
“Now he is blaming me for all this when I have done nothing.
“He has lost his mind.”
