A 3-year-old baby girl died has reportedly died after her mother absconded with N3 million which was donated for the little girl’s brain surgery.
A lady identified as Nymart Jamal, shared the story on her Facebook page. She narrated how the donor refused to pay the money to the NGO’S account due to undisclosed reasons, but preferred depositing it into the account of the sick child’s mother.
Unfortunately, the mother ran away after receiving the N3m meant for her daughter’s brain surgery, leaving the poor girl to the cold hands of death.
Read the write-up;
Last month we had a case of a 3yr old girl with a brain tumor who needed N3m for surgery. A donor insisted on paying the money to the account of the mother, stating that he’s not comfortable with NGOs.
We initially wanted him to pay directly to the hospital, but that was not possible because 80% of the medical materials needed for the surgery has to be bought outside the hospital.
Eventually, the donor credited the mother’s account, and the mother absconded with the N3m. Sadly, the child died this morning. Rest In Peace Ada”.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the use of email would no longer be required for the processing of registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME and Direct Entry.
JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this known while addressing journalists on Tuesday evening.
According to him, email would only be requested at the successful completion of the registration exercise by candidates to access information on the examination.
Oloyede said the new system was to ensure candidates’ information are not exposed to dubious cyber cafe operators and other criminal elements who in the course of UTME/ Direct Entry registration steal email passwords to perpetrate fraud.
He said, “As from Thursday, April 15, 2021, candidates will no longer be required to provide any email address during registration.
“Consequently, candidates will have the following options to access their profile during or after registration.
“i. Mobile APP on the candidates’ phone
ii. On the 55019 option (being designed) for example admission status checking, acceptance of admission etc on their profile.
Printing of examination slip (Notification) or Result notification slip or ticketing can be done anywhere using the candidates JAMB registration number only.
“At the conclusion of the 2021 UTME/DE registration exercise, candidates will provide their email addresses only after the 2021 UTME/DE registration exercise has been declared closed by JAMB through (a) Mobile APP on his/her registered phone
(b) Sending the word email (space then the email address) on his /her registered phone to 55019.
The email is typed twice for correctness (Email addresses will be entered twice for validation and prevention of typographical errors.”
The JAMB boss said an individual’s mobile phone now remains the only major tool to carry out all the registration processes.
Oloyede also disclosed that the organization has phased out the use of cash for any transactions in the Computer-Based Test centres owned by JAMB but Automated Teller Machine cards.
He said the move was to frustrate the antics of touts who hang around JAMB CBT centres as well as prevent illegal charges.
Oloyede added that candidates who are only keen on using cash can visit privately owned centres for their registration and other activities.

While opening up on the rocky experiences she had before enjoying a smooth ride now, she revealed that she was famous for hawking different things including bread.
Biola further revealed that she lost four admissions due to financial restraint, and also spent seven years in the University.
Taking to social media, she wrote;
This picture reminded me of my humble beginning … I hawked different things on the street but was more popular with bread cos that was the last thing I hawked as a young adult seeking for admission into Uni, it was a tough one, I know a few people can attest to that here.
“I lost 4 different admissions because I couldn’t afford to pay, it took me about 7 years to finally got into Uni but today, I’m not just a graduate but a master’s degree holder. It wasn’t easy but in all, I never stop loving God and hoping, and for truth, God has been very good to me…. I am not there yet but I am definitely not where I used to be.
The reason for my epistle is to encourage someone, please don’t give up on your dreams, no matter what life throws at you, you’re going through those challenges for a purpose, just keep praying, put God first, be diligent, keep working harder, get better at whatever you do on a daily basis and stay focus……your light will soon shine.”

An Ugandan man, Dr Patrick Mbusa Kabagambe, has made local news headlines after he reportedly ran away on his wedding eve.
He was said to have gone to his friend’s house to rest because he was stressed.
According to Daily Monitor, Patrick and Christabella Banturaki were to set to tie the knot at All Saints Cathedral Nakasero in Kampala City last Saturday, April 10. The reception had been organised at Silver Springs Hotel in Kampala.
However, on the eve of the historic day, Dr Kabagambe disappeared and his mobile phone was switched off. This triggered panic, frantic calls, anxiety and confusion among his friends, family and in-laws.
His worried bride-to-be in company of her uncle went to Kasangati Police Station, Wakiso District, where they opened a case of a missing person.
Detectives, relatives and friends began a frantic search for the would-be groom. Worried relatives flooded social media with messages announcing the sudden disappearance of Dr Kabagambe, imploring well-wishers to share information wherever he is spotted, dead or alive.
Dr Patrick Mbusa Kabagambe has been reported missing with his car UBH 905X on the eve of his wedding this Saturday, 10 April 21, and all his known [telephone] contacts are switched off. The case has been reported at Kasangati Police Station, SD REF 22/10/04/2021. Patriots, let’s assist trace the suspect/victim,” a relative posted in a WhatsApp group last Saturday.
On the wedding day, Dr. Patrick still didn’t show up, converting what should have been a blissful ceremony into an agonising blind search.
The bride, who had been informed hours earlier that her groom has yet to appear did not head to All Saints Nakasero Cathedral.
However, some relatives, unaware of the developments, appeared at the church for the scheduled wedding, only to find neither the bride nor the groom was present.
The search continued the following day, Sunday, April 11. But before the police could engage other tracking units to establish his last contacts, Dr Kabagambe presented himself at Wandegeya Police Station in Kampala.
The deputy spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire, who confirmed the incident on Monday, Aprl 12, said Dr Kabagambe told detectives that he was not a missing person as reported to the Force, but elected to spend a night at the home of an undisclosed friend.
He said he was stressed. He didn’t have a reason why he didn’t want to marry Ms Banturaki. We later released him on police bond as investigations continue,” Mr Owoyesigyire said.
However, there is no clear penal offence that the police can prefer against him given the fact that he claimed that he married Ms Banturaki in customary ceremony and even paid bride price. In Uganda, the law recognises customary marriage.
Mr Owoyesigyire said they are waiting for Ms Banturaki to record a statement with detectives to determine the next course of the case.
A close relative of Dr Kabagambe, who spoke to Daily Monitor, said the runaway groom is “traumatised” while the entire family is distressed over the flopped wedding.
