BREAKING NEWS: UNILAG has ended 10-year SUG suspension, inaugurates Bolaji Akinpelu as new SUG President

This is alarming, disgusting and embarrassing. The CP has ordered an investigation into the incident. The command condemns this in totality, no custom or tradition is superior to the rights of citizens. The Commissioner of Police Delta State CP Aina Adesola urges Deltans to remain calm while assuring that those responsible for this barbaric act will be arrested and brought to justice. The command also calls for witnesses who can provide with useful information that can aid the ongoing investigation.

We attended a guidance and counseling session at a girls' secondary school. The principal invited us into her office and warned us never to discuss anything with the girls beyond the purpose of our visit. We agreed. In the hall, one girl answered most of the questions—so much so that she was eventually stopped from participating in the quizzes. I was impressed by her sheer intelligence, so I asked someone who she was. It turned out she was the Senior Prefect. That was the only information I sought. I kept my composure. Back home, I told my aunt about the girl and how I felt about her. She promised to gather more details for me. Days passed. Then weeks. Then months. I kept pressing my aunt for updates. My feelings only grew stronger. I found myself constantly reimagining the exact moment I first laid eyes on her—how beautiful she was, and how brilliantly she answered nearly every question. Then, one evening, while I was at an Indomie junction waiting for my order, my phone rang. I checked and saw it was my younger sister. I hesitated but eventually decided to answer. She screamed at the top of her voice, "Yaya Abdull, guess what?" I replied, "What?" She said, "We just got the phone number of the SP!" The way I jumped up, one would think I'd been promised Jannah. I had to send my sister some money as a token of appreciation. I left the Indomie spot without eating—I suddenly felt a sense of fullness in my stomach. I just headed back to class (I was still a student then). Happy. Fulfilled. Hopeful. All mixed with a hint of dread! Exactly at 9:00 p.m., I sent her a message that read: "Assalamu Alaikum. My name is Abdullahi. I am one of the students from UDUS who visited your school some months ago. I was impressed by your performance, and I would like to discuss something important with you. What's the best time for me to call?" She replied the next morning: "9:00 p.m." So, I waited patiently. At exactly 9:00 p.m., I placed the call. She picked up almost immediately. After exchanging greetings, she asked what important matter I wanted to discuss. I told her, "I want to marry you." The response caught her off guard. A long silence followed. I think she even ended the call. I had to call back and reiterate my intentions. She said she'd have to think about it. I agreed; she needed time to process my request. The call took place on Monday, September 24, 2018. We got married on Friday, March 3, 2023. On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, we celebrated our third anniversary. PS: She maintained her brilliance even at university level. She graduated with a First Class Degree.
