Has British 'White Widow' Samantha
Lewthwaite, suspected to be the leader of the
Islamic terrorists that attacked Westgate mall in
Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday September 21st,
been killed?
It was claimed yesterday that the terror attack in
Kenya was being led by Samantha, the widow of
one of the 7/7 bombers, Jermaine Lindsay, who
with 3 others killed 52 people in a series of co-
ordinated suicide attacks in London using the
public transport system during the morning rush
hour in 2005.
Soldiers said a white woman wearing a veil was
shouting orders to gunmen in Arabic during the
bloody massacre inside the Westgate shopping
mall in Nairobi on Saturday.
Samantha may have been killed today as a dead
white woman was found among Islamic
terrorists killed by soldiers as they stormed the
mall this evening. Kenyan authorities haven't
confirmed that the woman is really Samantha.
Her name was first linked to the attack after Al
Shabaab praised her on their Twitter account for
leading the attack at Westgate mall.
Moments after the news of Samantha's demise
broke, Al Shabaab, took to Twitter to claim that
she's safe. Eleven soldiers were also wounded in
the fight with the terrorists this evening. Kenyan
police said that more than 200 civilians were
rescued as troops took control of all the floors
of the mall.

We cannot take FG's promises" -- ASUU says...blasts NUC as strike continues

We cannot take FG's promises" -- ASUU says...blasts NUC as strike continues

The Academic Staff Union of
Universities said the existence of the
National Universities Commission
has not brought improvement to the
standard of education in the country.
The union also said that it would not call
off the strike because of the mere promise
made by the Federal Government to
provide revitalisation fund for the
university system.
ASUU also called on the National
Assembly to investigate the activities of
NUC with a view to determining the
continued relevance or otherwise of the
university supervisory body.
If found irrelevant, ASUU said it should be
scrapped.
Chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan
chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, who spoke
in Ibadan noted that the NUC boss, Prof.
Julius Okojie, had concentrated the effort
of the university regulatory body on
quantity rather than quality while issuing
accreditation to universities.
Ajiboye said, “Okojie should take full
responsibility for all his deeds in the NUC.
Nigerians should be proud of ASUU in its
efforts at repositioning public universities
in the country.”
The union leader added that the result of
the assessment exercise of NUC carried
out by the National Economic
Empowerment Development Strategy
should be used to judge the relevance of
NUC and its leader rather than the self-
assessment of the regulatory agency.
He said some of the accreditations granted
by NUC were enmeshed in controversy,
wondering why the National Assembly had
not taken action on the controversies
surrounding the accreditations so far
recorded.
He said, “One of the efforts of ASUU to
reposition education in the country is the
NEEDS Assess
ent document. This was a product of a
rigorous academic exercise carried out by
dependable and credible members of our
union. Unlike the numerous faulty
accreditation reports which had given
these universities clean bill of health, the
NEEDS Assessment Report stands out as a
classical document of reference detailing
the rot and decay in public universities in
Nigeria.
“All well meaning Nigerians can see the
contrast between Okojie’s packaged
accreditation reports and a credible job
done by ASUU. It has become very clear
from the assessment document that Okojie
and his people have fooled this country for
too long. Time is now for government to
beam a searchlight on the activities of the
NUC. The education committees in both
the Senate and House of Representatives
have an arduous task to do here. Nigerians
are calling for dismantling of an omnibus
body that has done the country more
harm than good.”
ASUU also reiterated its commitment to
the current effort to gain Federal
Government consent to its demand, saying
that the strike would not be called off
based on mere government promise.
Meanwhile, a non-governmental
organisation, Do It Right Foundation, has
appealed to the Federal Government and
ASUU to work hard and resolve the
lingering crisis that has shut down the
education sector.
In a statement on Sunday, President and
National Coordinator of the foundation,
Mr. Dixon Jubril, called on the university
lecturers to give room for re-opening of
the universities in the interest of the
students.
“It has become a burden on both the
government and ASUU to save the
education sector from collapse by finding a
common ground for the amicable
resolution of the crisis. What both parties
to the dispute must have in mind is that
while the situation lingers it is the future
of the students that is at stake.
“We call on ASUU in particular to shift
ground a bit for the common good of the
education system. It’s our belief that the
time has come for ASUU to devise other
means of settling its disputes with
government instead of the constant
disruption of academic activities with its
attendant socio-economic implications.”
