Thief caught at Mambilla hostel at Kaduna Poly at past 1am
There was pandemonium and noise of students from IMO hall of the Mambila hostel of Kaduna Polytechnic, main campus, screaming out loud, saying 'throw him down'. Seems he walked into a room which wasn't his and tried to move phones of the occupants, and he was caught, he got some really good beating tho. When he was asked by someone who recognised him as Stainless, he said he was on his "trips" which means he was under the influence and he forgot his room and walked into the wrong room. After a lot of beatings, the dean of Student Affairs came to pick him up at about 1:40am and said he would handle the issue.

ARTICLE BY ONAEDO OKEKE
2nd Year Medicine and Surgery Student , UNN
Half-Baked Cake
So I'm sitting in class one (usually)boring day, trying my hardest to
dodge the lecturer's questions by avoiding all eye contact and
playing Candy Crush(very addictive)when he suddenly asks, "Who knows
where Mt. Everest is?"
Now I'm not usually one to answer questions in class, shyness perhaps but I knew my hand was definitely not going to shoot up to provide the answer. I'm looking around the class for the usual hands of the Einstein’s in the class (I'm pretty smart myself)and there is not a hand up. Let it be noted that this never happens. He asks the question again, takes a look round and realizes he's not getting his answer from this lot but just before he gives the answer, an equally shy soul, but with a little more 'liver' murmurs something.
The answer is correct, but that is beside the point. I am genuinely surprised that no one gives the answer to this question that could be regarded as general knowledge. Don't ask why I didn't answer, I had a perfectly valid reason.
This event leads me to ponder on the state of the Nigerian educational system. We're molded to believe that being a straight -A student gives you a golden pass in all life's issues. The system ends up turning out individuals who can read a thousand-paged text in an hour but who have no idea where the highest mountain in the world is located. The complexity of the human mind allows us to be versatile and explore different areas of human Endeavour. Trust me; there is space in your brain for much more than your anatomy or physiology. When was the last time anyone picked up a novel, watched a documentary for knowledge's sake or purposely tried to expand their vocabulary? These different parts help to make us whole, well -rounded. Don't get me wrong, you should study and aim to be the best but knowing a little bit about everything could be what lands you that dream job or gets you the girl (wink). I'm sure some of you still haven't figured out the answer to the lecturer's question. Hint: It's in an Asian country. Imagine the anticipation for a slice of cake that turns out to be major letdown; half appealing on the outside, half-done on the inside. Just as no one likes to eat half-baked cake, it's quite uninspiring to meet someone who knows everything and yet nothing
