'How OAU Student drowned in our Hotel

Fresh facts have emerged on the circumstances surrounding the death of the 300-level student of Obafemi Awolowo University student, Emmanuel Fatile, who died on Sunday at the Hilton Hotel swimming pool in Ile-Ife.

The General Manager of the hotel, Mr John Olalekan, said on Tuesday in Ile-Ife that the deceased, who was a good swimmer and trainer, had initially completed his swimming before going back into the pool.

He said all efforts to save Fatile, who came in company with two friends to the hotel, proved abortive.


“I want to put it straight that our swimming pool is fenced and secure.

“The person that died inside the swimming pool was an expert and a trainer himself. He usually teaches other people how to swim.

“He had already completed swimming; he came out and went back inside the pool again.

“It is only God that can tell what happened. It is not explainable. If he was an amateur that came to swim, we couldn’t have allowed him to swim without using the floaters and tubes.

“We even give experts tubes. I think it is the wish of God. It is an unfortunate thing. This is the first time such will be happening.

“No one has died in our hotel before,” he said.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Osun, DSP Folashade Odoro, said the incident was still under investigation.

15 Business Theories That Will Improve Your Living

1. Humans respond best to motivation theory   Many companies operate on the "principal agent," or "incentive theory. " It's based on research by economists Michael Jensen and William Meckling , who determined that Human beings work as hard as you pay them. For example, it's why shareholder values are aligned with executive compensation. But incentives are not the same as motivation. Incentives are based on "hygiene factors," including status and job security. Motivating factors include a broader sense of purpose. If you choose a job based on motivating factors, you are much more likely to be rewarded with hygiene factors, because you will do your job well — you're intrinsically motivated. Hygiene factors only go so far, and operating on a principal agent theory will eventually lead to burnout. 2. Balance deliberate and emerging strategies The best strategy is a balance between having a deliberate one, and a flexible, or emergent ...

Family declines autopsy for U.S. student released by North Korea

An Ohio coroner, abiding by family wishes, has performed an external examination instead of a full autopsy on the body of the U.S. student who was held prisoner in North Korea for 17 months and sent home in a coma, the agency said on Tuesday. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office was still conferring on Tuesday with doctors at a Cincinnati hospital who were treating Otto Warmbier, 22, before reaching any conclusions about his death a day earlier, investigator Daryl Zornes said. Investigators also were continuing to review radiological images and awaiting additional medical records requested by the coroner, Zornes said. He declined to estimate how long it would take for the coroner's office to complete its inquiry. Preliminary autopsy findings had been expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a com...
