LAUTECH Student Arrested For Stealing Over 20 Phones

A student of Crop Production and Soil Science at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Abeeb Adekunle Olayiwola has been Nabbed For Stealing Over 20 Phones.
Olayiwola, 22, was apprehened by a student who handed him over to security operatives attached to the institution after the items were found in his possession.
Bello Nurudeen, the student who caught Olayiwola, disclosed that he noticed Abeeb carrying a female bag and moving towards a gutter close by.

http://liveschoolnews.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/photo-1-crime-300x225.jpg
The Suspected Thief with the stolen phones

The Agricultural Economics and Extension student said: “I felt uncomfortable when I saw him, a guy carrying a woman’s bag. I almost waved the thought off, thinking it could belong to his girlfriend. However, I followed him up and traced him to the gutter side”.
“I saw him drop the bag and he quickly left the scene. I noticed him carrying another bag from the base of the ICT building again, heading straight to where he dropped the former. This time, the bag appeared like that of a male.
“I monitored his movement as he was transferring some items from the former bag to the latter. I decided to move closer to see things clearly.
“When I challenged him to explain whose bag he was carrying, he felt infuriated and said: ‘Why are you questioning me?’
“Then, it was apparent that something was fishy and I immediately called the attention of other students around and everyone came around.
“While we were questioning him, security officers from the new ICT building noticed the crowd at the scene and came around to take over the case”.
Asked what he was doing at the point where he was caught, Olayiwola explained that he came for exams, claiming to be a student of AEC in his second year.
At that point, he was asked to provide the name of his class rep for the sake of identification but he could not.
The name he mentioned was wrong. It was later learnt that Olayiwola was a fresher in the department of Crop Production and Soil Science.
When further search was conducted on him, three phones for which he could not give convincing proof of ownership were found in his bag and he was handed over to the security unit for appropriate investigations.
Officers from the security unit alongside some Students Union Government, SUG, representatives later recovered twenty other phones from Olayiwola’s room in the hostel.
When the suspect discovered that the phones had been found in his room, he confessed to have committed the said crime and claimed to have sold about three of them already.
The items recovered from him includes 23 phones, six batteries, six SIM cards, five memory cards, two Hand-frees, one hand bag and one HP Pavilion Laptop.
At the time of filing this report, a phone call had been made to inform the suspect’s father, Mr. Olayiwola who promised to join the university’s security unit.

Court Sentenced Provost To Five Years Imprisonment For Collecting Illegal Allowance

Acting Provost of the Federal College of Education, Technical, Gusau, Dr. Bello Ahmed, has been sentence to five years imprisonment for five years in jail for collecting illegal allowance from the institution.

The State High Court In Gusau, Zamfara State sentence Dr. Bello Ahmed to five years imprisonment.

Independent Corrupt Practices ICPC, in a statement by its Resident Consultant (Media and Events), Mr. Folu Olamiti, yesterday, in Abuja, said such abuse was punishable under Section 19 of ICPC Act 2000.

According to the statement, the law stipulates that, “any public officer who uses his office or position to gratify or confer any corrupt or unfair advantage upon himself or associate of the public officer or any public officer shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to imprisonment for five years without option of fine.”

Dr. Ahmed was accused of collecting DTA, between 13 and 16 November 2006, from the college for an official trip to attend a board meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, while equally collecting an equal amount as DTA from JAMB, including sitting allowances, all totalling N385,000.00.

The accused, who was arraigned by ICPC on an eight-count charge bordering on corruption and abuse of office, pleaded guilty to the offence and asked for leniency.

However, the presiding Judge, Justice Amaize, said he was not swayed by the plea of allocutus, as the accused lacked integrity and sentenced Ahmed to five years imprisonment without an option of fine.

The ICPC warned public servants to desist from collecting double DTA from their agencies and also receiving or demanding same in cash or facilities.

The statement partly read, “Public servants should learn from the conviction of Dr. Shallah Ahmed. He was accused of having collected DTA from the college for an official trip to attend a board meeting of the JAMB while also collecting an equal amount as DTA from JAMB, including sitting allowances; all totalling N385,000.00.”

Physicists have finally proved the existence of a new superconductive state, first proposed 50 years ago

After 50 years, scientists have finally proved that superconductivity can exist inside a magnetic field. It’s a breakthrough that could help scientists better understand the behaviour of the Universe and develop new technology.

Scientists from Brown University in the US have finally proved that materials can conduct an electric current without resistance - an ability known as superconductivity - even when exposed to a magnetic field. They do this by entering a superconductive state that was first proposed in 1964.
“It took 50 years to show that this phenomenon indeed happens,” said Vesna Mitrovic, the leader of the project, in a press release. “We have identified the microscopic nature of this exotic quantum state of matter.”
Superconductors themselves put out a magnetic field, which is so powerful it can levitate objects, such as trains, allowing them to travel extremely fast. Being able to achieve superconductivity within magnetic fields greatly alters our understanding of the phenomenon, and also opens up new opportunities for superconductive technology.
But for a long time, magnetic fields were the enemy of superconductivity. In order for a material to gain superconductivity, the electrons travelling through it need to pair up with electrons of the opposite “spin” - these pairings are known as Cooper pairs. Once paired up with a buddy, electrons can easily travel along a material without causing resistance, instead of rattling around as individual electrons do.
But in a magnetic field, it’s extremely difficult to form these Cooper pairs, as the field changes the “spin” state of the electrons, leaving more “spin-down” than “spin-up” electrons. This means less electrons pair together and there are a whole bunch left shaking around causing resistance.
"The question is what happens when we have more electrons with one spin than the other," said Mitrovic in the release. "What happens with the ones that don't have pairs? Can we actually form superconducting states that way, and what would that state look like?"
In 1964, physicists predicted that a magnetic field didn't necessarily have to ruin all of the superconducting fun - their theory was that the unpaired electrons would gather together in bands across the superconducting material and conduct normally, while the rest of the material would be superconductive. They called this state the FFLO phase (named after the theorists Peter Fulde, Richard Ferrell, Anatoly Larkin and Yuri Ovchinniko, who came up with the idea).
However, no one has been able to prove this actually happens - until now.
In this experiment, the researchers from Brown University used an organic superconducting material, made up of ultra-thin sheets stacked on top of each other, to investigate where the FFLO state is possible. They also increased the temperature - in the past scientists had only tested the phenomenon in extremely cold settings, and had failed to observe the FFLO phase.
Using nuclear magnetic resonance, the team was able to watch what was happening to the spin state of the electrons when they applied a magnetic field to the material.
What they saw was regions across the material where unpaired, spin-up electrons had congregated. They behave: "like little particles constrained in a box," said Mitrovic. This is what is called an Andreev bound state.
"What is remarkable about these bound states is that they enable transport of supercurrents through non-superconducting regions," said Mitrovic. "Thus, the current can travel without resistance throughout the entire material in this special superconducting state." The results are published in Nature Physics.
The breakthrough may not sound too relevant, but seeing as superconductors are being touted as the future of ultra-fast transport, such as maglev trains, and imaging technology, it's a pretty important find.
“This really goes beyond the problem of superconductivity,” said Mitrovic in the release. “It has implications for explaining many other things in the universe, such as behavior of dense quarks, particles that make up atomic nuclei.”

ASUU begins week-long Education Summit in Abuja

A week long education summit spearheaded by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU is to open in Abuja today, Dr. Dipo Fashina said in a statement at the weekend in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Fashina, a former president of ASUU and chairman of the planning committee for the summit said the aim of the summit was the restructuring of the nation’s education system.
The summit, with the theme ‘Towards a System of Education for Liberation in Nigeria’, will hold at the Conference Hall of Top Rank Hotel, Utako District, Abuja.

According to Fashina, other stakeholders involved in the summit are the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the federal and some state ministries of education.
Fashina, said in the statement that the country must restructure its educational system if it is to be a stakeholder in the global system.
“The summit will review the educational system with a view to restructuring it to liberate Nigerians.
“The educational system is one-sided, promoting the interests of the world’s powers, who colonised Africa, making the need to develop an educational system, which can serve the interests of Nigerians a necessity.
“The four main unions in tertiary institutions are organising a national education summit, the purpose of which is to look for what will be a liberating educational system in the country.
“Education in Nigeria is dysfunctional; it is one sided in the sense that it promotes the interests of the powers in the world, who have ruled Africa since slavery and after slavery”, the statement said

What makes Aladi's feat even more impressive is that she earned her degree with a comfortable Cummulative Grade Point Average of 4.80.
But it was not an easy walk for the brainiac who revealed that he parents struggled to meet with her financial needs.
“It has not been easy because I even thought  I will drop out, especially when I got to the final year, then all hope is lost, but I want to thank God for my parent because they really stood by me and did all they could to make sure I complete my studies," she told Daily Independent.
"My parents are the ones that actually made me to put in all effort that I can put in because when I looked back and I think of what they have been through for me and my siblings, you cannot understand there are so many things going on financially."
She added that maintaining her excellent academic performance was a further challenge.
"Another challenge I had was staying up there, because my Dean do tell me, 'your CGPA is good, but you have to maintain it.'
"It is not easy maintaining a good grade," Aladi concluded.
Caleb University is a private degree awarding institution situated at Imota, after Ikorodu, Lagos.
