Babcock University releases school fees for next session. Students protest
A few students from the school have sent mails to Linda ikeji complaining about the exorbitant fees they are being made to pay to get an education. The university just released the school fees for the next session and some of the students feel its outrageous. See it below...
1) Accounting- N1.5million2) Nursing- N1million3) Law- N2million4) Medicine- N3million5) Others- N860,000
The students are scared to protest in their school because they could get suspended. Babcock is a Christian University and claims to be a non-profit organization, so students don't understand why they have to pay such huge amounts to school there. But here's my thing; complaining about the school fees of a private university is like complaining about the cost of a first class plane ticket. You have other options; business class, premium economy class, economy class. If this is too much for you, move to a federal school, state school or less expensive private schools. Not that I support these fees, I think it's ridiculous. You pay N3million a session to become a doctor and when you eventually get a job, you make less than N200 thousand a month...doesn't make much sense to me...but that's the way the school wants to operate. You either take it or leave it! What do you guys think?
But meanwhile, is there anything the federal government can do for these students? Like, make their University bring down the fees?

Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries’ Divorce Settled Out Of Court
Kardashian have settled their year-and-a-half long divorce battle, and it looks like it will be announced in court today … this according to sources directly connected with Kris.
We reported yesterday Kris had softened his position about demanding an annulment because his case had gone South — in other words, there was no proof Kim committed fraud when she married him.
Our sources say Kris will not show up in court today. Sources connected with the basket baller claims… he’s with his team today, gearing up for the NBA playoffs. This is significant, because Kris was ordered to court — a judge wants him there when he gets hit with fines for not showing up last week.
Kim’s camp claims that she will show up.
As for the settlement, it’s confidential so far, but you can bet this was a divorce and definitely NOT an annulment.
To put this in perspective, the divorce battle raged on for 536 days while they were just married for 72 days.

God bless him for me for covering up my shame"......Princess
"I am so happy I'm now getting married, I can now proudly wear iro n buba like a Nigerian woman...God bless that young man that picked me and decided to pity me and marry me when I had given up all...I am saying this because I want you all to hear it, God bless him for me for covering up my shame".Hmmmmm..
OFFICIAL Statement From Thenetng.com....MOVES To Thenetng.net
We are convinced this is a calculated attack by detractors to unsettle and distract us, knowing our third anniversary (April 26) is just around the corner, as well as the inaugural Nigerian Entertainment Conference holding next Friday.
This incident occurred in the early morning of Thursday April 18, and the hijackers immediately followed up with an email, announcing their operation and demanding $1,200 ransom to reclaim our property. They have since sent other emails, and made fresh requests, which we are reviewing with our lawyers, registrars and IT team.

“The individual or group will also be liable on conviction to a fine of an amount equal to three times the amount misappropriated or diverted, or to a term of not less than 10 years or both the fine and imprisonment.”
“The bill also instructs the Accountant-General of the Federation to make payment of retirement benefits directly into individual bank accounts of retired persons covered under Section 5 of the Act. Details of such payment should be submitted to the Commission and the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate of the Federation and FCT.
