Somalia authorities have banned trucks and tankers from entering the capital, Mogadishu, during the day, in a move meant to curb deadly attacks carried out using such vehicles. The ban comes following two attacks that jointly left at least 377 people dead and hundreds others injured. Earlier this week, top security officials were fired following those attacks carried out on 14 and 28 October. The first attack was labelled the biggest in the Horn of African country’s history, and was condemned by world leaders. Somalia-based jihadist group al-Shabaab denied being behind that attack, but claimed responsibility for the second. The militants, who have links to al-Qaeda, say they targeted the hotel on Saturday because it was frequented by security officials and politicians. The al-Shabab gunmen were dressed as members of the security forces – apparently helping them enter the hotel unchallenged – but Information Minister Abdirahman Omar Osman has disputed allegations they had official...

E ight people died and 11 injured in the worst terror attack on New York since September 11, 2001 as a lone wolf extremist screaming “Allahu Akbar” used a pick-up truck to mow down cyclists along a bike path on Halloween.

In the early hours of this morning, there was a heavy down pour that prevented students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu from coming to school. Even those that came to school were late for lectures. Lecture halls were empty due to the rainfall only few lectures took place with scanty students in attendence. Mass communication department students were in class to receive the day's lecture only few were late for lectures.

Students of Chukwumeka Odumegwu ojukwu miss lecture due to heavy rain fall this morning.  In the early hours of today..November 1st 2017.. It rained heavily that most students couldn't come to school thereby missing their lecturers... A 300l student of Mass communication department name with-held said that why he couldn't come to school today was because he went watching football match yesterday and because he's team lost, he took alcohol and couldn't wake up on time to prepare for lectures before it started raining.. He added that he's hoping that dry season will soon start so that students won't find any excuse to miss lectures. 

Rainfall has been the major factor for students late coming to class.  The students of mass communication COOU who were known for coming early to school before every other student has started  coming late to school.   The down pour this morning made lots of students come late and some did not even come at all.The rain started early this morning and rained till 10:00am and the students who had lecture for 8:00am and 9:00am came late for their lectures   Also with the rainfall, the students find it difficult to see bus which will take them to school, it is very painful how a student that has lecture will leave his or her house in an hour or thirty minutes early only to spend close to two hours at the bus stop waiting for bus. At times when the students come late to lecture during a raining day owing to their slogishness or their personal reason they will put it on the rain as the reason fro their coming late.

Little did I know that life has a bigger plan and future for us.After ...
