Uniport Alumni Spotlight: Meet Professor Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice Chancellor, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education. From the classrooms of the University of Port Harcourt to the helm of one of Nigeria’s foremost universities of education, Professor Okechukwu Onuchukwu represents the power of academic consistency, institutional loyalty, and purpose-driven leadership. A proud product of the University of Port Harcourt, Professor Onuchukwu’s entire academic foundation was built within the Uniport system. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Economics, followed by a Master’s degree, and later a Ph.D. in Economics, specializing in Econometrics and Economic Theory. His journey at Uniport was not just one of learning, but of deep intellectual formation — shaped by rigorous scholarship, research discipline, and a strong commitment to excellence. Rather than leaving academia, Professor Onuchukwu chose to give back to the system that shaped him. He rose steadily through the academic ranks to become a Professor of Economics, distinguished for his contributions to teaching, research, and mentorship. Over the years, he served Uniport in several key leadership roles, including Head of Department, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and Director of the University of Port Harcourt Business School — positions through which he helped shape academic policy, faculty development, and student training. His career is marked by scholarship and productivity. Professor Onuchukwu has authored and co-authored numerous books and over 90 academic journal articles, contributing significantly to economic research and policy discourse in Nigeria. He is also a respected member of professional bodies, including the Nigerian Economic Society, and has supervised and mentored countless students who now occupy strategic positions across academia, government, and the private sector. In November 2021, his long record of service and leadership culminated in his appointment as Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Rivers State. As Vice Chancellor, he has focused on academic discipline, institutional stability, staff development, and the promotion of integrity within the university system — values deeply rooted in his Uniport training. His leadership style reflects the enduring influence of his alma mater: quiet confidence, intellectual depth, respect for process, and an unwavering belief in education as a tool for societal transformation. Beyond administration, Prof. Onuchukwu remains a scholar, mentor, and advocate for quality education. His journey reminds current students and young academics that greatness is often built through patience, service, and commitment to one’s calling. Today, Professor Okechukwu Onuchukwu stands as one of Uniport’s distinguished alumni — proof that the University of Port Harcourt does not only produce graduates, but builders of institutions and shapers of minds. Your Uniport journey can take you anywhere — lecture rooms, boardrooms, or leadership offices. What matters is how you prepare, serve, and give back. ▪️ If you know any Uniport Alumni doing exploits, do well to mention them in the comment section and we might just shine the spotlight on them. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

“The Children Who Try Too Hard” Some children are not asking for attention. They are asking for relief. They try so hard to be “good.” They try so hard not to stress anyone. They try so hard to hide their tears. They try so hard to keep up — even when school drains them. If you look closely, you’ll see it… Their eyes always searching. Their shoulders always tight. Their smile always too quick. These children don’t explode. They fold. Quietly. This holiday, check on them too. Ask gentle questions. Offer soft spaces. Give room for rest. And remind them… They don’t have to earn love with perfection. Because the children who try too hard are often the ones who feel unseen the most. 💛 If you are a parent, sibling, caregiver or teacher— look out for them this season. If you find our educational contents valuable, then follow us for an amazing ride. 📌I am putting together an eBook that highlights psychological challenges school children face and the way forward, make sure you grab a copy to keep you ready to handle any child especially when school resumes. I'm rooting for you and your children 🌹 #Cikamo

The Lost Son Who Never Left. When we hear the Parable of the Prodigal Son, our minds almost always sprint toward the younger brother, the rebel, the runaway, the one who traded home for hunger and dignity for desperation. He’s dramatic. He’s messy. He’s relatable. But standing in the shadows of that celebration was another lost son. The elder brother never left home, yet his heart wandered miles away. And if we’re honest, painfully honest, we sometimes look a lot like him. The elder brother did everything “right.” He stayed. He worked. He obeyed. But when grace burst through the front door wearing the younger brother’s tattered clothes, the elder brother froze in the doorway, unable to celebrate what he believed someone else didn’t deserve. He wasn’t lost in a distant land. He was lost in his bitterness. Lost in comparison. Lost in entitlement. Lost in the quiet belief that his faithfulness earned him more love than his brother’s repentance did. And Jesus tells this story because this type of lostness is just as real, just as dangerous, as the kind that rebels and runs. We become the elder brother when Someone else gets a blessing we’ve been praying for. When God pours grace on a person we think should’ve “known better.” We serve faithfully, quietly and feel unseen. We clutch our sense of fairness more tightly than God’s heart of mercy. We start believing God owes us something. Sometimes our feet never leave the Father’s house, but our hearts wander far from His. But here’s the part we often overlook, The father didn’t just run down the road for the prodigal. He walked out into the night for the elder brother. He pleaded with him. Invited him in. Assured him of his place. Reminded him, “You are always with me, and everything I have is yours.” The father pursued both sons with the same relentless love. One comes home from rebellion. The other needs to come home from resentment. And many days, that second son? That’s us. The gospel is wide enough to welcome the broken and the bitter. It restores the rebellious and the resentful. It calls home the ones who run and the ones who stand outside refusing to celebrate. Grace doesn’t just rescue the prodigal. It softens the elder brother. It takes our clenched fists and opens them. It pulls us out of comparison and back into communion. It reminds us that every blessing we have is a gift, not a wage. God is asking us to be present ones. Ones who step inside the celebration because His joy is better than our pride. If you’ve been the prodigal, there’s mercy. If you’ve been the elder brother, there’s healing. If you’ve been both, then welcome to the family. Most of us have. The Father is still standing at the door, light spilling behind Him, saying “My child, come in. Everything I have is yours." Sharing to encourage everyone.✨ l #cikamo

See ehn, let me just confess. All those exam hall experiences we thought were ordinary? Plot twist is that some people like me were having mini enjoyment at the same time. As the tension is mounting, you go just dey sit down, pressing your thighs like say you wan hatch egg, and boom! One sweet vibration from nowhere. No arousal. No romance. Just tension plus adrenaline doing voltron. Does this sound familiar? The first time it happened, I was in the exam hall that day, trying to recall which particular sonnet/verse Chaucer wrote when the invigilator announced... “Ten minutes more.” And just like that, the entire hall tensed like Nigeria’s economy whenever CBN sneezes. My brain froze. My handwriting started speaking in tongues. Even my biro was vibrating like it had malaria. But the real problem did not start until my thighs... those two stubborn pillars of Sodom clenched themselves together without my permission. My pelvic floor tightened as if the Holy Spirit was trying to descend through my spinal cord. Every muscle in my body contracted like ASUU during strike season. Next thing I knew… something shifted. A wave. A tremor. A small pentecostal revival between my legs. I said, “Holy Moly...what's happening to me?” Before I could baptize myself back into focus, one quiet, heavenly, mind-blowing release escaped from my pelvis like rapture for only one person. It was a clandestine release rising from the hidden geography beneath my waist. I sat there in shock. Stunned. Still clenching my thighs like Samson holding the pillars of the temple, I mused inwardly... Is this how people fail exams? Is this how destinies are redirected? Is this how Adam must have felt when the forbidden fruit started sweeting him? Nobody prepares you for this part of adulthood. Nobody warns you that sometimes, under extreme tension, your body will press the wrong button. That the same anxiety that makes your handwriting disappear can also trigger a COREGASM. Coregasm is an accidental, stress-induced pelvic release that comes when your nerves are shouting hallelujah in confusion. Nobody tells you that biology can betray you faster than friends in group projects. So yes, if you’ve felt that thing before… If exam stress ever gave you one small forbidden jubilation… If tension ever triggered a pelvic “amen” you didn’t register for… Congratulations. You are not alone. You have simply experienced what scientists politely call a stress-induced COREGASM. As you were...class dismissed. ✌️

Funny ppl 😂

Right from start, We all hate school, we hate homeworks, hate how long school is, but when its the last day, we all will miss our friends, our caring teachers, the fun times we had, the drama, field trips, seeing your friends.., swimming.. etc..all of those will be missed when its the last day of school, we miss the fun times that happened. even if school starts next year(for some people), we will just start remembering fun things at school, and realizing you dont actually hate school, you just hate studying, too much homework, and a long time to go home. to realize you only liked the fun things. we all HATE and LOVE school. school is fun, when theres drama, crushes, fun activities, painting, swimming, etc etc, even seeing your favorite teacher. but.. school ending just feels like fun faded away from our lives. we all loved the fun, but it has to fade away, we will meet our friends someday, and maybe create fun things in the future, but we will always remember the fun stuff we all did at school. homeworks, studies, exams made us struggle alot and stress out, but seeing friends, having fun, drama, cheers us up at school. everytime we say we hate school, we dont actually mean it. we hate studies, exams, homeworks because it made us stress out. but we love the fun stuff that happened, we need memories to make. fun secrets n stuff. we will all miss school, but not the parts that made us stress out and struggle. seeing friends is the only way at school that makes us free. we should forget the bullies too. they dont know anything. but when its the LAST day of school. the loudest classroom goes SILENT. the hyped and energetic person goes TIRED. the class clown DOESN'T make JOKES anymore. the smart one doesn't HELP anymore. the kindest student isnt KIND anymore. ♡

Editorial: Embracing the Pause – A Break Amidst the New Session at the University of Port Harcourt. The start of a new academic session is always an exciting time at the University of Port Harcourt. With fresh faces, renewed energy, and the promise of new opportunities, the campus is once again alive with the buzz of learning, engagement, and discovery. However, as the semester picks up speed, it’s also a time when the university community, from students to staff, finds itself in a brief yet essential interlude—a momentary pause before diving back into the full swing of academic and administrative responsibilities. As the Christmas season approaches and festivities begin to spread throughout the university community, the pause also offers a chance to reflect on what truly matters. For students, this break allows for time with family and friends, reconnecting with loved ones, and finding the mental clarity to approach the semester with renewed focus and determination. For the faculty and administration, it provides a moment to reset—to step away from the day-to-day grind and return with a fresh perspective, ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the semester ahead. Uniport, with its blend of academic excellence, research innovation, and vibrant campus life, has always been a place where the pace of activity can sometimes feel overwhelming. But it’s in moments like this—the brief break between the initial rush and the sustained grind—that we’re reminded of the importance of balance. While we may be ready to dive into the full swing of academic life, it’s essential to embrace these pauses, for they help us maintain our energy, our focus, and our passion for what we do. As official duties wind down during this interlude, let’s take a moment to appreciate the power of rest and reflection. This break is not just about slowing down, but about recalibrating, preparing for what’s next, and ensuring that we return with a renewed commitment to the university’s vision of excellence. It’s a time to remember that in order to move forward, we must sometimes take a step back—to recharge, reconnect, and refocus. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

Uniport Strengthens Research and Training Ties with Nigerian Navy Intelligence School. The University of Port Harcourt has continued to deepen its academic and research collaboration with the Nigerian Navy Intelligence School, Ubima, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. As part of the ongoing partnership, Dr. Obinuchi Chimezule (Esq.) of the Uniport Faculty of Law and Dr. Gift Chukwu-Okeah—Director of the Institute of Niger Delta Studies and Deputy Director of the Academic Planning Unit respectively—visited the Navy Intelligence School to advance joint research and teaching initiatives between the two institutions. During the visit, the Uniport scholars delivered lectures on the admissibility of forensic evidence and security profiling, providing critical academic and practical insights to participants at the Navy School. The engagement was described as a worthwhile and impactful experience, reinforcing the shared commitment to capacity building and knowledge exchange in security and intelligence studies. The Institute of Niger Delta Studies, University of Port Harcourt, also expressed anticipation for a reciprocal engagement, as plans are underway to host the Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) of the Navy Intelligence School. The FOC is expected to deliver lectures on security investigation at the Institute, further strengthening the collaborative framework. The initiative underscores Uniport’s ongoing efforts to foster strategic partnerships that bridge academia and security institutions in addressing national and regional challenges. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
