Editorial: A New Era of Action — Uniport SUG Executives Hit the Ground Running. The University of Port Harcourt Students’ Union Government, led by Senator Amaechi Walson Tamunotonye, continues to demonstrate that true leadership is defined by action. From day one, this administration has shown commendable urgency — responding to student needs, strengthening engagement, and ensuring visible presence across key issues affecting the Uniport community. A notable highlight of this momentum is the proactive stance of the Students’ Judiciary Council, which has formally announced that all channels for student complaints, reports, and suggestions are now fully open and operational. This includes matters concerning welfare, academics, misconduct, or rights violations. By guaranteeing confidentiality, impartiality, and adherence to due process, the Council reinforces the administration’s commitment to transparency and justice. This seamless coordination between the executive arm and the judiciary reflects a refreshing era in Uniport’s student governance — one where structures are active, accessible, and responsive. Senator Amaechi Walson Tamunotonye’s team is not only hitting the ground running; they are building a culture where student concerns are heard and addressed through the right channels. As the new administration continues to create impact, we at Unique Stoary commend their early strides and encourage them to sustain this spirit of service. A stronger, more accountable student leadership is clearly unfolding — and Uniport students stand to benefit the most. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

After more than a year of trial, Rivers State High Court has convicted and sentenced a 400-level Petrochemical Engineering student of the University of Port Harcourt, Damian Okoligwe, to death by hanging for the murder of his girlfriend, Justina Otuene, a 300-level Biochemistry student. Delivering the judgment, Justice Chiwen Nsirim-Nwosu ruled that the prosecution, led by Charles Obediah-Mbaba, proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, establishing that Okoligwe committed the crime. The court also held that Justina’s death resulted directly from the actions and conduct of the convict, Damian Okoligwe. The prosecution lawyer, Charles Obediah-Mbaba, who spoke to our correspondent after the judgment, hailed the court for ensuring that justice was served on the matter. Osat-awaji Otuene, elder brother to the late Justina Otuene, also spoke. Recall that the case first came to light after operatives of the Ozuoba Police Division received a complaint from a neighbour about a foul odour coming from Damian Okoligwe’s room. Police say officers responded immediately, forced open the door, and discovered a Ghana-must-go bag containing the lifeless body of Justina Otuene. The murder trial began in May 2024, two months after the Rivers State Government took over the case. #UnportInfo

The Weight We Carry as Medical Students. Sometimes I wish people understood that studying Medicine is more than wearing a lab coat or carrying a stethoscope. It is a journey that constantly threatens to break you — not just academically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As a medical student, your entire future can hang on one exam — MBBS. One. Single. Exam. People say, “Just read, you’ll pass,” but they don’t understand the fear that crawls into your lungs when you’re studying at 2am, fighting sleep with coffee and tears, because you’re afraid of what happens if you fail. Because in Medicine, failure isn’t just failure. It is rejection. Repetition. Reset. While other students retake a course and move forward, medical students are told: “You didn’t pass. Start again.” Do you know what it feels like to watch your mates move ahead while you go back to the beginning? To sit in a class where you’re now the “older one”? To pretend you’re okay while battling shame, disappointment, and the feeling that maybe you’re not good enough to save lives? It’s emotional torture. You study harder than you’ve ever studied in your life, with a level of fear that no one prepares you for. And even when you pass, the relief doesn’t feel like victory — it feels like survival. Like you escaped something designed to swallow you whole. People see our white coats. They don’t see the panic attacks, the self-doubt, the nights we whisper prayers through trembling lips: “God, please don’t let this be the end for me.” Every MBBS stage feels like standing at the edge of a cliff — one wrong step and the whole journey restarts. And somehow, we are expected to be strong. To smile. To keep going. But the truth is, many of us are tired. Not because we don’t love Medicine, but because Medicine demands pieces of us we didn’t know we could give. Still… we push. We fight. We hope. Because we believe that one day, all this pain, pressure, and emotional weight will turn into purpose — and into the lives we will save. Until then, we carry on. Not because we’re strong… But because we refuse to give up on the dream.

Here's How To Start Branding Yourself As A Student. Many students are walking around campus with vibes, exam stress and indomie energy, but zero personal brand. Meanwhile, your future employer is somewhere scrolling through LinkedIn like, “Who can I trust with this opportunity?” And you? You’re posting ‘outside tonight’ and shouting “God when”. 😭 Or are you saying: "I'll cross that bridge when I reach there😒" Toor. Let’s fix it now. Here are simple ways to start branding yourself, even as a student: no pressure, no ring light, no tripod, nothing. 1️⃣ Pick ONE thing you want to be known for. Not five. Not seven. Just one. 📌 “Future Pharmacist Pen” (already taken sha 😌) 📌 “Public Health storyteller” 📌 “Campus tech guy” 📌 “Makeup artist who saves students’ pockets” Your brand starts when people can say: “That’s the person that does…” If they can’t complete that sentence, your branding hasn’t started. 2️⃣ Start sharing the SMALL things you already know. People think branding is dropping TED Talks. No. It’s simply showing what you’re learning. Examples: “What I learned today in Biopharmaceutics…” “A study tip that helped me survive this week…” “A funny mistake I made during practicals…” “How I improved my makeup game this semester…” Consistency beats perfection, every time. 3️⃣ Clean your social media like someone expecting visitors. Your bio should not look like: “📍ABSU | ❤️Jesus baby | 🤪 Born to be wild | ✨Small girl big God.” Ah ah! My dear, what should people follow you for? Fix it: ✔ Pharmacy student | Future clinical pharmacist ✔ Public health advocate ✔ Content creator sharing study, career & lifestyle tips That’s a brand. Simple and clean. 4️⃣ Your DP matters. You can't be shouting “personal brand!” But your profile picture looks like someone hiding from EFCC. Pick a clear, friendly, confident photo, that’s your first impression, and that's what people trust. 5️⃣ Start showing your growth journey, not perfection. People don’t fall in love with “experts.” They fall in love with students becoming experts. Post things like: ✅Your struggles ✅Your small wins ✅What you learned ✅What you failed at and corrected ✅Behind-the-scenes of your daily grind That's what builds connection, and connection builds brand loyalty. 6️⃣ Network like someone that wants to leave Nigeria eventually. Reply comments. Talk to seniors. Engage other creators. Connect with lecturers with sense. Build your circle before you need your circle. 7️⃣ Be consistent even if your procrastination spirit is fighting you. You don’t need to post daily. Just show up enough for people to trust your presence. Remember: You are your biggest project. And people are watching you more than you think. If you start today, you won’t recognize yourself in 6 months. Branding isn’t just for influencers. It’s for students who want to stand out. Students who want opportunities. Students who want visibility. Students who want to matter. And that student can be YOU.

Uniport Pharmacy Students Reeling After Shocking ICT Results: 95% Failure Rate Sparks Outrage A sense of shock and dismay has swept through the 200 Level Pharmacy program at the University of Port Harcourt (Uniport) following the release of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exam results. The outcome was nothing short of devastating, with 129 students failing, a mere 7 passing, and not a single student achieving a distinction. This staggering 95% failure rate has left many students feeling frustrated, confused, and wondering what went wrong. The news is made even more bitter by the fact that those who failed will have to resit the course, a move that comes with a hefty price tag of ₦10,000 per student. To add insult to injury, the students were reportedly under the impression that they could carry the course over, as stated in the handbook. The students are now calling the situation "unfair and confusing", and many are questioning the fairness of the system. "How could this happen?" is the question on everyone's lips. The massive failure rate has sparked outrage among the student body, with many demanding answers from the university administration. The situation has raised concerns about the quality of teaching, the effectiveness of the course materials, and the support systems in place for students. As the students prepare to resit the course, they are left wondering what the future holds and how they will move forward. The Uniport administration has yet to comment on the situation, but one thing is certain - this shocking result has left a mark on the 200 Level Pharmacy program and will have far-reaching consequences for the students involved. #Uniport_Story #Pharmacy_faculty
