Kanye West accuses new wife Kim Kardashian of hoarding?
Sources tell Dish Nation,
"Kim rents two storage lockers and had two rooms in her old house reserved for piles of clothes and shoes she never wears."
"She also keeps years of backdated magazine and newspaper clippings that she's been mentioned in. Kanye doesn't mind that Kim is so self-involved; he just wishes she was more organized about it. He told her to scan it onto a hard drive and to toss the paper trail
"They had their first major post-wedding fight after Kanye threw out boxes of Kim's hoarded items because Kanye says Kim's crap is wrecking his design aesthetic."
"They don't see eye to eye on this topic. Kim was furious after Kanye told her she should go on a show like 'Hoarders.' He warned Kim that he can't live with her if she continues to stockpile useless goods."Who believes this story? She's confessed on her reality show that she's a hoarder though.

Over 900 LASU students pay new tuition fees
Authorities of the Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, on Monday said that over 900 students had complied with the payment of the new tuition fee as directed by the management.
Lagos State Government had on 11 June approved between 34 per cent and 60 per cent reduction in the LASU tuition fee following protests from students and civil society group.
The University Governing Council on 20 June released a new tuition fees to be paid by students, which ranges from N76, 750 to N158, 250.
The tuition fee was increased in 2011 from N25, 000 to N198, 000 for humanities and education, while medical students were made to pay N350, 000.
Following the new development, the management of the institution recalled the students from recess, and directed them to start paying the reduced tuition fee for the 2013/2014 academic session.
Kayode Sutton, the institution’s Public Relations Officer told NAN in Lagos that students had started complying with the payment and registration process as directed.
“As at today, over 900 students have paid the new fees as directed by the management,” he said.
Commenting on the low turnout of students on campus, Sutton said the population of the students on campus should not be used to determine the number of students who had paid because the payment and registration process were done online.
“You do not need to see the presence of students on campus before one can ascertain that they have complied,” he said.
The spokesman said the management would refund the balance of those students who had paid the old rate if they showed a receipt of payment for confirmation.
Meanwhile, Students Union President, Nurudeen Yusuf, told NAN that the union was still not satisfied with the new tuition fee.
Yusuf said the union was still pressing for the proposed N46, 500 for the returning students and N65, 500 for the fresh students by the union.
He said that the union would hold a congress on 24 June to determine its next line of action on the fees.
Sutton said that the university community had enjoyed a gracious opportunity, and got a fair deal from the state government on the reduction of the fees.
“I think the government had been magnanimous enough to have heeded to the fee reduction proposal by the students, even though it is not the same amount as the students proposed,” he said.
Sutton urged the students to pay as directed, while the payment and registration portal remained open for them

ASUP/Govt. Meeting Aborted As Indifferent Federal Officials Fail To Show Up
A meeting on Tuesday scheduled between the national executive of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Government officials to discuss solutions to close down of Polytechnics did not hold.
Sources say the meeting, which was called by the Senate Committee on Education, stalled owing to the absence of the Ministers of Education and Labor, Messrs. Nyesom Wike and Emeka Wogu, as well as the Secretary to Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim.
The committee called the meeting following the failure of the Education minister and other relevant agencies of the government had failed to end the industrial crisis in the polytechnics.
In the polytechnics strike, which is now extending into one full year, none of the key issues has been significantly resolved. ASUP executive members said the meetings with the Ministry of Education and its leadership have yielded no fruit. The Senate intervention is seen as the next big hope for resolution to enable the students to resume their education.
Some students of affected institutions embarked on a series of protests recently in Lagos, but were violently repressed by the police.
The students professed support for their lecturers’ action, describing ASUP demands as being in order and covering the academic interest of students.
