11 long days in kidnappers’ den
When some staff and students of the Turkish International College in
Ogun State were kidnapped, they never bargained for the physical and
emotional trauma they went through not with the huge ransom demanded by
their kidnappers. OLUYINKA OLUKOYA reports the whole kidnap saga.
WITHIN the past five months, kidnappers had abducted several students in
schools across Lagos State, including the adjoining Ogun State. Two
schools, privately- owned Babington Macauley Girl’s College, Ikorodu and
the government-owned, Model College, in Lagos, had been visited by the
hoodlums. The most recent attack was on Nigerian-Turkish International
College (NTIC), located in a swampy area of Isheri/Ifo Local Government
of the state.
Just like the earlier abductions, there was a media frenzy surrounding
it more so because of the very high ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
Following public interest in the criminal act, security operatives soon
swung into action. Knowing that kidnappers often threaten to kill their
victims if relatives reported to police, media report was all that the
police needed to swoop on the school located at about one kilometre from
the Ogun State end of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Now this pisses me off. I'm sick of H1B visas and tech companies
depending on immigrant tech labor while our inner city kids still
fucking rot. I've had it with their lies and bullshit. Apple and
Google can scratch my ass.
https://www.wired.com/2017/01/tech-lash-trumps-ban-personal/
The educational system in the US continues to treat backs and minorities
like crap and tech companies flatly discriminate against innercity
youth. Advanced degrees are shuned by Americans because of the huge
dept load, and the who educational system is being kept afloat by
foreign students. It has to END.
