During a birthday celebration for his wife Gloria, Mike Bamiloye, veteran Christian filmmaker, expressed his gratitude for her contributions to his drama ministry and congratulated her on her 58th birthday.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the clergyman explained that his wife, back when she was serving in the National Youth Service Corps, used to send him her allowance so that he could organize activities for others.

Part of his message stated that the couple had been married since October 8, 1988, and that they had been blessed with three children and grandchildren since then.

Read the full statement below:

“What did she see in me when she said yes to my Proposal? She saw visions! She saw callings! She saw what I did not see! The girl who saw tomorrow!”

“I had been on full time ministry and she had been in school. I would collect money from her and use it to print program posters. Then when she began to work during f the one-year service, she would collect her allowance and bring it to me to use for programs.”

“Celebrate the girl who saw tomorrow! Ah! She never saw any inadequacies in me but visions and calling and ministry. No job, but ministry.”

“No house but only one room that contained all my belongings: standing hanger, cupboard, bookshelf, cooking pots and a standing fan that had no leg and a small black and white television.”

“She saw into the future! She saw greatness and relevance in the future. She married me at 24! And I was 28!”

“Today, she is 58 and still growing stronger in Him! Still looking radiant and beautiful!”

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Bamiloye

The University of Benin’s (UNIBEN) Department of Accounting is poised to commemorate its 40th anniversary and have an alumni reunion on the institution’s main campus in Benin City on February 11.

According to Prof. Peter Ibadin, chairman of the planning committee, and Chief Tajudeen Akande, chairman of the alumni local organizing committee, the anniversary celebration would provide a unique opportunity for past and present students to reconnect, share fond memories, and celebrate achievements.

According to them, the jubilee will mark the beginning of alumni projects for the department, which now consists of five 300-seat lecture theatres, twenty professorial offices, and a bus.

The announcement said, “As part of the occasion, the department will present the Award of Excellence to exceptional alumni and non-alumni of the institution who have made extraordinary contributions to society and humanity in general.”

“The anniversary would be a chance to honor the school’s founders and to recognize the school’s achievements to the community and to the City of Benin.

“The anniversary programme will include a Welcome Cocktail/Alumni Reunion on Thursday, February 10, 2022; a documentary on the history and milestones achieved; and an anniversary lecture on the theme: The Importance of the Fifth Industrial Revolution to Business, Accounting, and Finance – a Humanistic Perspective, to be delivered by Emeritus Professor Abhulimen Richard Anao (Founder of the Department of Accounting and Former Vice Chancellor, University of Benin).

They said that the accounting course was initially taught as part of the university’s B.Sc. Economics program in 1975/76 and later became an integral part of the B.Sc. Business Administration program.

“In October 1981, the department was established to offer a B.Sc. in accounting. The degree has since been offered as a three- or four-year full-time program.

“The Bachelor of Science in Accounting program has generated highly qualified alumni who today hold senior management positions in both the public and private sectors of the national economy. A few have also earned a name for themselves in academia.”

Around 30 of Veritas University’s 331 graduating students in Bwari, Abuja, will be awarded first class during the institution’s tenth convocation ceremony.

Prof. Hyacinth Ichoku, Vice Chancellor, who announced this in Abuja, said the 30 graduands had distinguished themselves in terms of both quality and performance.

Ichoku reports that 60 of the 331 graduates are in the postgraduate class, 151 are in the second class higher, 130 are in the second class lower, and 20 are in the third class.

The vice chancellor stated that the school has contacted several embassies throughout the country in an attempt to establish language classes at the university to enable students to acquire vital languages that will facilitate communication.

“We have written to embassies and received favorable responses; we are hopeful that we will be able to start a language course in the near future where individuals can come and study vital languages,” he explained.

According to him, the university currently offers over 32 undergraduate and over 18 graduate programs through its faculties of education, administration, humanism, social sciences, engineering, natural and applied science, and law.

He noted that the school is developing new programs and is awaiting clearance from the National University Commission’s (NUC) sub-verification team before beginning admissions to the colleges of pharmacy, medicine, and medical laboratory science.

The vice chancellor added that the school was also relying on the verification team to approve PhD programs in English and literary studies, accounting and mass communication, as well as a master’s degree in counseling.

The crisis engulfing Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, over the disbursement of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) has not subsided, as members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the institution’s management continue to argue over ASUU’s call for strike action.

While ASUU’s National President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, insisted that members are on an indefinite and total strike over management’s failure to follow a pre-established template for the disbursement of EAA, the university urged parents and members of the public to disregard any strike notice, stating that academic activities continue in the institution. Osodeke had accused the vice chancellor, Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede, for the OAU branch of the union’s walkout.

He stated that the vice chancellor, not the Federal Government, was responsible for the industrial action launched in response to unpaid EAA.

According to the ASUU president, only academics who have performed excessive labor are eligible for EAA and are compensated based on the volume of work performed.

“The template is what other universities, over 40 in total, have utilized in accordance with the amount of money granted by the Federal Government since December,” he explained.

He criticized the vice chancellor’s plan to enlist a parallel union within the university, the Congress of Nigerian Universities Academics (CONUA), in developing a new template for calculating the allowance each lecturer should receive.

“CONUA was not just an unlawful trade union,” Osodeke explained, “but the money was donated to OAU in the name of ASUU, not CONUA, and so the body cannot dictate how it should be distributed.

However, university officials stated in their response that academic activities continue at the school. Mr Biodun Olanrewaju, the university’s spokesman, told The Guardian that the institution has two academic unions, ASUU and CONUA, and that only ASUU has called its members out on strike.

He said, however, that a meeting of all academic employees was held on Tuesday, during which it was agreed that management should convene a committee to investigate the vexing issue.

“Only a small percentage of ASUU-affiliated professors are discussing strike action, while the vast majority of lecturers are working and not planning any strike,” he explained. A greater proportion of instructors at the institution are on duty, while other campus activities continue as scheduled.”

Olanrewaju urged parents and guardians to avoid any circular from any quarter declaring university-wide industrial action.

Olanrewaju stated in a statement that the overwhelming majority of academic staff at OAU are not on strike and have no intention of doing so.

“The university administration is using this means to inform the general public, notably our students, their parents, and guardians, that courses are continuing and students are being attended to by lecturers in their various departments,” the statement said in part.

“In light of this, parents, guardians, alumni, and friends of the institution can be guaranteed of an uninterrupted academic calendar, as our students are instructed to continue with their normal academic activities.”

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for our 2021/2022 admission exercise for candidates seeking admission via UTME (100 level) and DIRECT Entry (200 level) into the Osun State College of Education, Ilesa and University of Ibadan Degree Programme.
