REVEALED: Reason Why IMSU Humanities Annex Was Razed By Fire Today

Duru Victor


The Faculty of Humanities IMSU Annex building has been completely razed to the ground today.

The raging inferno which began in the wee hours of today destroyed properties worth millions of naira.

As to the cause of the inferno, a lecturer of the affected faculty who doesn't want his name in prints blamed electricity malfunctions for the mishap while equalling shifting blames to the ongoing ASUU strike.

He said: "We were notified of the fire incident by 4:00am. I got to the area by 5:00am and contacted the fire service. There was little to be salvaged when they arrived the scene. This wouldn't have been the case if the school was in session".

IMSU SUG 17th Rep. Presidential Aspirant Vision Is +1 Today (See photos)

IMSU SUG 17th Rep. Presidential Aspirant Vision Is +1 Today (See photos)

Today marks the beginning of a new year for Comr. Vision as he celebrates his birthday today.

Comr. Ofoegbu Chima Emmanuel popularly known as Vision is an IMSU 17th Republic SUG presidential aspirant from the department of Civil Engineering under the Engineering faculty.

The gentleman dubbed the Voice of Engineering is in his finals and to celebrate this special day Infoscope Media brings to you the profile as well as some spine-chilling things you probably don't know about this fine man.

1. He is a dynamic student politician and strategist: Vision is not only popular among Imo Stars and student politicians for his political chauvinism, his dynamism is what sets him apart and has earned him the name Voice of Engineering - More like the Voice of Imo Stars.
He is a political strategist to the core, his support and strategism has led to the record of political successes for the likes of Comr. Ceejay,Comr. Nelson, Comr. Avalon to mention but a few.

2. He is an academic high-flyer : Comr. Vision did not in any way allow his busy political life encroach on his academics, he has balanced both so well which is unpopular among students politicians. Little wonder he is a 4-pointer!

3. He doesn't like what he hates: Vision is an easy going fellow, hardworking, intelligent and an orator. He is an accommodator too - He doesn't discriminate either good or bad. He welcomes all. However, proud and stingy people are his turnoffs

4. He is a lover of God: Yes, Vision loves God more than anything in his life!

5. He is an achiever: Check out his portfolios and positions-held profile and you will agree with me that he is an achiever -
*In his 200L he was elected president of all course reps in Engineering faculty.
* A Chief Tax Force of Curtclay Hostel Aladinma in his 200L.
* A former senator representing faculty of Engineering in the SUG Parliament in year 3.
* A Deputy Speaker in the SUG 16th Rep. Parliament in his 300L.
* Caretaker Comm. VP of Civil Engineering dept which he later resigned from to contest in the 17th Rep. SUG election which was declared inconclusive.
* He is the current final year course rep of Civil Engineering and the electoral chairman for the next faculty election and the list is endless.

More grace and successes as you embark on another year-long journey. Happy birthday Vision!

A Graduate Makes His Case Between The IMSU Girl And Boyfriend Incident

A Graduate Makes His Case Between The IMSU Girl And Boyfriend Incident

Featured post

Yea you all heard the stories of an imsu girl who wants to quit her relationhip and end up having a fight with her bf when the said guy came to retrive his gift item he bought for the girl and she end up stabbing him, then, was later heard she drank poison and gave up.... Like seriously! Thats all??

Well I don't know this girl but I am shocked with the amount of her friends and people who know nothing spoiling her name...

Looking through this girl's wall I see she is a regular person like you and me with life goals just like us ..

So I just wonder why then would she take her own life, there always has to be the possibility of foul play or something they are hiding from us. .. but none of you even considered that just jumping straight into conclusion..

Like how can a girl like that overpower her boyfriend to fully stabbing him unconscious.. Did you think that?

And why would she have a bottle of poison Laying around in her room.... Did you think that??
How did she take a whole bottle of bitter poison without diluting it in anything
It also takes an average of one hour even taking poisons such as sniper in large quantities to kill you (Google it) ohh you dont know right?

How long does it take to die from bleeding out from a stab wond?
It takes a total of 1-3 minutes if a vital organ was hit if not it may take 10+ minutes but to be stabbed unconscious like the boy in this story I think a vital organ was hit... So how did he survive, while someone poisoned(which takes hours) died. Did you ponder about that?

And the story is saying she stabbed him while he was bleeding to death she drank a full bottle of poison ...

Either I'm not getting the story right or there is something not adding up about the time of death ..

I have no reason to fight for the dead all I ask is think before dragging a persons name through the dirt without knowing real facts.

I'll advise those close to her to carry out proper investigation with the authorities...
But in this country people hardly care what happens after the fact.

No hard feelings please and no insult, i just took time to analise and share my thoughts.... Because i have heard of coiensidental effects or fate of been in a wrong place at the wrong time, that doesnt make one a culprit.

JCCF IMSU PRESIDENT REACTS: What I Said Was Clear And That's What I Still Stand On - Freshers' Night Party Should Be Made Optional - Pst. Ernest

JCCF IMSU PRESIDENT REACTS: What I Said Was Clear And That's What I Still Stand On - Freshers' Night Party Should Be Made Optional - Pst. Ernest

Duru Victor


The social media space as well as offline of IMSU and environs was agog with a statement credited to the Joint Christian Campus Fellowship (JCCF) President IMSU Chapter, Pastor Ernest Ugonna Ezekwere at the just concluded Inaugural Students Assembly in IMSU in which it was alleged that he demanded that the Freshers' Night Party be outrightly banned.

The President has maintained his stance as well as defended his statement. In a chat he granted to our correspondent on Sunday, being the 11th of November, 2018, Pst. Ernest is quoted as saying: "What i said was clear and that's what i still stand on. Freshers' night party should be made optional. Reason being that christians do not believe in what happens there. Alcoholism, fine if you want to do it, but we don't believe in it.

Secular music and a lot of other things and we are saying that it remains optional. If anybody wants to go ahead with it, fine. But nobody should be mandated in any department, in any faculty, in any hostel else JCCF won't take it lightly because christians are being maltreated seriously. You walk into people's hostel, you seize their stuffs because they refused to comply.

You won't do that to the cultist, you won't do that to the native doctor. You walk into a pastor's room, you lock the gate and you tell him he that he will not leave. I mean, that's practically an insult on the body of Christ.

What we are saying is, if you want to party, fine, if you don't want to, fine. But nobody should be forced for any such thing. That's the appeal we sounded and we stand by it".

What do you think?
