“Godfrey Okoye University is the best,” Prince Nwanjoku says at its 13th Convocation

The Chairman of Aninri local government area Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku graced the 13th Convocation ceremony of Godfrey Okoye University.

It was the gathering of the eagles as several other dignitaries from Enugu State and across the nation came.

Alumnus of the school, Prince Nwanjoku, when speaking to cheering crowd of students, said his coming was meant to inspire them.

But Godfrey Okoye University in itself provides inspiration. Founded in 2009, it’s the first university owned by a Catholic Diocese in Africa. Since then it has produced several accomplished professionals and successful leaders in different works of life.

“I attended this epoch-making event as an alumnus to encourage other students, especially the less privileged,” Nwanjoku began.

Although the Aninri council chairman is born into a well-to-do family of late iconic king of Ndumeze Kingdom and former Enugu State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Igwe Onyioha Nwanjoku, he has worked to make his own bones in circular politics, playing the big league. He is the first Aninri chairman to ascend the seat without the help of the so-called kingmakers.

Life sentence for Beauty Queen for killing this cute boy

This girl killed her boyfriend’s 18-month-old son. Her name is Trinity Poague – a 20-year-old former beauty Queen from Georgia in the United States.

The cute boy, Romeo Angeles, was found dead on January 14 2024 on the Georgia Southwestern State University campus, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

That time, Poague was a student there, living with her boyfriend. Police had arrested her and have since conducted investigations.

When the Poague’s motive for killing the little Angeles was unravelled it was both petty and shocking. She killed the little boy because she wanted to have a baby of her own for her boyfriend.

Making his verdict on Friday, Judge W. James Sizemore Jr. of the Southwestern Circuit Court of Georgia said he didn’t believe in talking too much. Without hesitation, he handed Poague life imprisonment.

Why the assailants could accomplish all these and went away without being intercepted calls to question the seriousness of state security agencies. Yet again, the dastard act is another reminder of the existential threats facing Christian community in Nigeria.
