A suspected pickpocket, whose identity is not yet known, has died in a hospital after he was stabbed at about 3 p.m. opposite Igando Police Station, Igando area of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.
Mr. Fredrick Ikuesan, who was at the scene of the incident, told P.M.NEWS that when he saw the bleeding victim, he quickly rushed into the police station to ask for police report so that he could take him to the hospital.
“I told a policeman at the station to please give me a report but he said no, that the victim was caught stealing, that is why he was stabbed so he will die there,” he explained.
Ikuesan disclosed to P.M.NEWS that he didn’t see the man that stabbed the suspect on Wednesday because of the huge crowd that gathered at the scene.
Another eye witness claimed that he called the Lagos state ambulance to come to the victim’s rescue but there was no response from them.
P.M.NEWS gathered that the man who allegedly stabbed the victim has been arrested and is now in police custody at Igando station. A policeman at the station also confirmed that the culprit is already in their net.
When another police source at the station was contacted, he said: “We don’t have a case of pickpocket stabbed to death. The case we have is that of assault, armed robbery and the suspect was attacked by a mob.”
Another officer from the station who pleaded anonymity said: “we actually took him to about three hospitals, and he was rejected before he was taken to Igando General Hospital where he was transferred to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, at the Emergency Ward.”
It was gathered that the victim died yesterday morning.

                             the analysis of www.jamb.com

The aesthetics of jamb website is dull, no beautification, the site is about jamb registration and checking of result only. Looking at the home page, one can easily identify the organisation as a formal one, which oes not require much design. but then it can be improved upon.
search

 The search of the website is poor; you have to log into various website before you can get desired information.

There is no provision for users to contact the management of the organisation neither through a social network or phone contact. The only room provided for contacting the management, is to go through a different web page entirely.

There is no link to other parts or section of the organisation.

Counts

There are no number of counts on the home page to show the number of people that have visited the site. The number of comment is not also  shown.

How I can improve the website

The website is not a social one, it is formal, but then,the page needs to show some fascinating images. I will improve it first, by designing the page in such a way that anyone who is visiting the site for the first time will have a feel of the home page's attraction. Though, that is not the major priority of the site, but there is need for attraction in order to create a relaxed atmospher.
 I will also improve the site's contact, how users can easily log in to any departments or pages of the site.
in addition, i will write short note on how they can contact the organisaton should incase there is problem logging in (especially in cyber cafe)or for easy access for those who do not have  personal computers.
  Finally, i will improve the graphicas in other to pass meaningful expression in such away that it will captivate the viwers.  A formal website does not have to be dull, great graphics on education, will do the magic.

The NUJ, Nigeria Union of Journalist is a body that was set up to convey and discipline the Nigeria journalism profession. The union was set up under a six-man inaugural Executive Council,  at the premises of St. Paul's School, Breadfruit Street, Lagos.
On March 15, 1955, marked the Zenith of years of a silent revolution for the actualization of a common front by some early nationalists who formed the core of a call for an independent Nigeria, via the power of the pen. In earlier times, such struggle that “Britain must go” had manifested in the expressed opinions, appearing in the now extinct newspapers including the Anglo African, The Eagle, Lagos Weekly Times, The Lagos Chronicles, The Lagos Standard, Lagos Weekly Record, The African Messenger, The Lagos Daily News, West African Pilot and others.
There was a problem in the history of NUJ because between 1961 - 1969 the Union's name was struck out from the list of the registered Trade Unions. This was because the Union had failed  to operate as a trade Union.
Some of the nationalist of independence which gave room for operation of nation

O. Davies who, with the launch of the Yoruba vernacular newspaper “Iwe Irohin ni Ede Yoruba”, founded by the late Rev.

                             the analysis of www.jamb.com

The aesthetics of jamb website is dull, no beautification, the site is about jamb registration and result checking website. Looking at the home page, I can say because of the nature of the site, it doesn’t need too much beatification.

 The search of the website is poor; you have to log in into various website before you can get the necessary information.

There is no room to contact the either through a social network of phone contact. All you need to do is to go through a different web page entirely.

There is no link

Counts

There is no number of counts on the home page and this is as a result of the nature of the page which is strictly meant to check for result only and to print out irrespective of the year of the result.

How I can improve the website

The website is either a social one, but it is formal, the page need to show some fascinating images, and I will create one in such a way that the page is going to lead someone to other jamb site, at least how they can be contacted if one is finding it difficult to do other activity on the site.

More so ,th graphical representation will pass meaningful expression in such away that it will captivate the viwers. Because a website is formal doesn’t have to make it dull, I will make the home page colourful

Over 20,000 youths volunteer workers in Ogun State under the aegis of “Keep Ogun State Clean” have lamented the unfriendly attitude of the state Commissioner for Environment, Adebayo Fari, who they claim was not supporting their quest to contribute the cleanliness of the state.
The group, which is a subsidiary of the Late Dipo Dina Charity and Humanitarian Organisation, said it does not want money from the government or individuals to clear refuse on the streets in the state but that it is being driven by the need to help make the state clean.
The Director General of the Organisation, Alhaji Hassan Jimoh, said the commissioner who earlier approved the project is now asking the group not to clean up anywhere any longer. Jimoh said : “We are youths in this state under a registered organisation called the “Keep Ogun State Clean”. We are more than 20,000 from the different local government areas in the state. We have bought wheel barrows, rakes, spade and other tools that are useful in keeping the environment clean. Before we started this project, we informed the state ministry of the environment and he gave us approval. I have his letter.
“We have got all the materials we need and have even bought uniforms for all our members. We are not being paid and we do not collect money from anybody.” Hassan said the project was part of the group’s zeal to join hands with the Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s administration to ensure total cleanness of the state and imagined why they will not being encouraged.
He appealed to the antagonists of the project to give them a chance to do their voluntary work. He also appealed to well meaning Nigerians especially indigenes of Ogun State to help provide materials for the organisation to do its work, stating that the project is meant to empower the youths and check unemployment.
Effort to reach the honourable commissioner were not successful.

Rape has become a, subject matter in the society has we have reasons to attend to number of rape cases in Nigeria today.

Speaking with MR Andoofa Beba said “Several people have come out to suggest measures to in dealing with culprit, but it is so unfortunate that we only make rule and don’t execute it in this country. Our leaders are to see to issues that are most but instead they tackle less important issues”. She said.
The Executive officer of “kick against female abuse” Agoro group, Mrs. Yemisi Akinsemoyin, said that rape is an act of despiracy, fraction on humanity and life pain. “People involve I such act should not be forgiving because they cannot deny their knowledge of doing it”.

She said that cultural practices, police impunity, institutional failure and absence of a strong legal framework, were other contributing factors to the increase in cases of rape.
"However, reports have shown that very few people have been convicted. Court processes are not gender friendly and often leave the victims shattered and frustrated.
"The failure of the state to properly address rape has to a large extent encouraged impunity".
The CEO of Kashie global enterprise added that, “Nigeria, being a signatory to International Treaties supporting women's rights and condemning violence against women, had an obligation to combat the tide of rape and other sexual violence”.
The Executive Director, WARDC, Ms Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, stated that "Rape in Nigeria is a criminal offence that attracts life imprisonment in Nigeria Criminal Code.
She said that the objective of the last campaign tagged ``Let's Talk About Rape’’ was to demystify people's perception about rape and combat the impunity that went with the menace.
