New mandatory dress rules at OAU that has everyone talking.
Nigerian institutions have a reputation for enacting strict moral codes and values on its students. While this is good in shaping the moral convictions of the students, some of these rules tend to be overly extreme. A social media post recently shared a screenshot of the new dress codes enacted by the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) for the new session and the sanctions. The new rule will now see students rusticated for a semester for dread locks, ripped jeans, multicolored braids for females, rumpled clothes and unconventional wearing of face caps. Many social media users have criticized the school for these extreme rules.
Them go rusticate all of you for this OAU. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/klfw0pGaHZ

Reactions over palliatives distributed in certain LGs in Nasarawa State.
The issue of palliatives distribution in Nigeria continues to be ravaged by massive corruption. While Nigerians suffer, delegated officials mismanage the palliatives meant to help the citizens through this economic crisis. A twitter user has just revealed the ridiculous palliatives being distributed to citizens in some local governments in Nasarawa state. Clearly, this palliative process has done so little to elevate the people from the economic reality of the country, due to the corruption of a selected few individuals.
This is how palliative was distributed in some LGs in Nasarawa State as reported by beneficiary. pic.twitter.com/pjsWNO9TXQ

João Cancelo completes loan move to Barcelona, with buy option.
Despite being one of the brightest full backs in modern day football, Cancelo has been out of place since falling out with Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola. The full back forced a loan move to Bayern Munich in January but still could not break into the team’s starting eleven. With Barcelona hoping to build on last season’s success, a move to the La Liga giant seemed to be the best move for all parties involved and after a series of contacts, Manchester City and Barcelona have agreed on a loan move for the full back with a buy option clause. Cancelo will now travel to Spain to complete the medical process as a Barcelona player.
João Cancelo to Barcelona, here we go! Manchester City and Barça are finally exchanging documents right now to get the deal signed today 🚨🔵🔴 #FCB
João, prepared to travel to Barcelona tonight.
Loan deal with buy option clause included.
