Father of Female Corper Sues Federal Government Over Her Death In NYSC Camp
The bereaved father, who is seeking N100m as damages for the death of his daughter, who finished from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso with a First Class in Transport Management, filed the suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Wale Afolabi, who is a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Osun State, prayed the court to order the defendants to pay N100m to the bereaved family as general damages for the emotional distress caused by Ifedolapo’s sudden death.
Apart from the Federal Government, other defendants in the suit are the Director-General, NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure; and Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
The father stated in the statement of claim that his daughter died on November 29, 2016, due to negligence on the part of NYSC because the agency failed to give his daughter prompt medical attention when she took ill three days after she reported to the camp.
The plaintiff asked for, “A declaration that the officers of the first defendant (NYSC Director-General) breached their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo, daughter of the plaintiff, by their failure to give proper medical attention and proper medication to the deceased, which culminated in her worsened state of health and eventual death on November 29, 2016.
“A declaration that officers of the 1st defendants breached in their duty to the late Ifedolapo Racheal Oladepo by their failure to refer the deceased to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital when the adequate facilities to cater for the deceased’s health condition were not available at the NYSC Kano Orientation Camp Clinic.”

Actress Yvonne Jegede Says Her Big Boobs Is Not Her Selling Point But Brain (See Photos)
EducationI studied International Relations at a university in Cyprus.
Modelling
As a child, I wanted to become a beauty queen and win the Miss Nigeria beauty pageant. That was all I looked forward to becoming. However, I never got to participate in any pageant because I wasn’t tall enough.
ActingI never knew that I would become an actress someday. I’m not one of those people that would say that they discovered their talent while in the womb. It wasn’t something that I planned for but along the line, I realise that I was very passionate about it and I decided to take it serious. I got into the industry through Charles Novia, and he was the one that invited me for my first movie role. It was on that set that I met Uzodinma Okpechi, who invited me for the video of 2face’s African Queen.
Challenges
I don’t remember having any challenges apart from going for auditions. I was young at the time; I wasn’t 20 yet when I joined Nollywood.
Role modelsIn Hollywood, I love Meryl Streep. Everybody knows I’m crazy about her and she is my idol. In Nigeria, I love Bimbo Akintola.
Memorable rolesI have not been challenged enough yet. I have played almost every character, so there’s really nothing left to do. If you look at it critically, almost every story these days is a version of something that had been written earlier by another person. And this also applies to Hollywood with movies like Batman, Superman and others. However, I once acted as a widow who had to mourn her late husband for a very long period. That script really touched me and I actually cried on set. I can be very daring on set and go to any length to interpret my character but I can never act n*de.
Body shape
I thank God that I have a good figure and I have no regrets. However, I like my eyes so much and you can say that they’re my best features. Even though many people feel my big boobs are my selling point, but it is my brain. As for the people insinuating that I did surgery to enlarge my boobs, I have always been this way. People who know me from way back will confirm.
MarriageI feel very happy and blessed in my marriage. I think I married at the perfect time even though I’m in my early 30s. My husband is a very special person and I always say that men like him are very rare. Being married will not affect my career. Meanwhile, my husband is also an actor so he knows the terrain.
Fashion
I love simplicity and I believe that fashion is a thing of the mind. It’s all about how you carry yourself. Some people might wear designer clothes and still not command attention while others might wear things that are not that expensive and be the cynosure of all eyes.
Photos: Governor Udom Emmanuel Gives Priority Attention To Industrialization of Akwa Ibom State
Before now Akwa Ibom proudly owned Peacock Paints, Sunshine Batteries, Quality Ceramics, Qua Steel, ALSCON and the likes, which made the state an industrial leader and offered jobs and business opportunities to the citizens. Unfortunately, these companies all faded away decades ago.
The administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel is one that has effortlessly gained the support of the masses not through the usual channels of propaganda or rice distribution, but by delivering its promises to the people, especially that of industrializing the state. Since assuming office, the governor has been working and breathing industrialization. The seriousness with which the governor has taken the industrialization drive is yielding tremendous results already.
It has resulted in the AKEES Pencil and Toothpick factory with production capacity of 5000 pencils per day and 20,000 tons of toothpicks per hour, creating employment for over two hundred Akwa Ibom youths currently working at the factory.
Peacock Paint Limited, a company that was moribund and overgrown with weeds for decades, has been revamped. The completion of Akwa Prime hatchery is another bold step taken by this government in its bid to ensure that day-old-chicks are produced in sufficient quantity to meet the demand from within the state and ultimately from the entire South South and South East markets.
The governor’s vision of industrialization has seen him make efforts to create an enabling environment through improved power supply. The state has, in recent times become the destination of choice in Nigeria for investors. To this end, many National and International conglomerates have indicated interest in siting either their manufacturing facilities in the state. The metering solutions company which will make Akwa Ibom state a manufacturer of electric metering machines, is one.
The governor, nicknamed Mr. Industrialization by the people, is also embarking on a construction of coconut processing and refining plant which has already begun with the planting of 2 million coconut seedlings. The same goes for the rice mill where improved rice seedlings have already been planted and the processing mill is under construction. On completion these projects will employ over 5000 skilled and unskilled workers as well as reduce the cost of the commodity in the state.
The recent expression of interest by the Federal Government to partner with the state on the Ibom Deep Sea port to the tune of a billion naira is another sign that the people’s Governor is setting the pace for an industrial revolution and the federal government does not want to be left out in the glory. These initiatives show that as a good leader, the governor is creating opportunities for the people. Akwa Ibom is becoming an industrial hub and the citizens are already feeling the impact. #Govudomspriority #Industrialization
