Not with playing like this sir

If they want to win the tourney they need massive improvement

Wait for the first team...

justicechichex:
With this kinda football they're playing, they'd be fortunate to be in the semis

You should understand with them based on the COVID setback facing the team

Stormtrooper11:
It's probable, but Algeria remains my tournament favorites. Tbh, I don't think our Super Eagles under Rohr could hold its own against this Zimbabwe side but I hope Eguavoen's gon' impress the Nigerian people with some quality football in Gauruoa tomorrow. We don't want him playing too safe against those Egyptian lots.

Senegal will be more determined whenever it confronts Algeria unlike their last meeting. Bear in mind it's present COVID issue

The Director of Admissions at the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Mr Mohammed Babaji Ahmed has decried the slow pace of admission processing in tertiary institutions for the 2021 admissions exercise.
Thus, the Board has called on tertiary institutions across the country to expedite action on the completion of the 2021 Admission exercise.


The Director of Admissions, Mr. Ahmed appealed while briefing some selected institutional Desk Officers, and implored them to interact with their respective institutions to ensure that even if they are not ready for the students to resume.
He advised them to conduct such admissions before their respective chosen resumption dates to enable their candidates to know their fate.

Besides acknowledging the numerous challenges that have impacted the academic calendars of tertiary institutions, the Director urged them to close the gap whereby only about one hundred thousand candidates have been processed out of the over six hundred thousand eligible candidates and urged affected institutions to close the process on time.
Ahmed explained that the call became necessary following the negligible number of fully-processed 2021 Admissions on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) out of the teeming population of eligible candidates with the requisite qualifications yearning for admission.

He urged them to devise acceptable means of closing the gap and complete the 2021 Admission exercise on schedule.
Ahmed disclosed that the Board was on the verge of rolling out the 2022 UTME application documents hence the need for Desk Officers to be proactive.
He expressed the resolve of the Board to prevent candidates from incurring unnecessary expenses through buying new e-pins that they may not use if they are eventually admitted.

Recall that over 1.4m candidates registered for both the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME) and Direct Entry(DE) out of which only about 600,000 possessed the requisite qualifications to be admitted based on available records with the Board.

Forty-four-year-old Terhemen Anongo, who dropped out of the University of Ibadan as a 500-level medical student, says he has castrated his second testicle. punch reports
The newspaper in March 2021 reported the story of Anongo, who became a cart pusher after dropping out of school and removed one of his testicles. Several people, including his classmates at UI, supported him after the report.

On why he removed the testicle, he had said, “You know how the issue of sexual urge torments one when you don’t have a wife, coupled with your religious beliefs. I am someone deeply involved in religion and I read about Origen Adamantius, one of the early church leaders from Egypt, who paid to be castrated so that he would not be bothered by sexual urge

It was in an attempt to do the same thing that I removed my right testicle but there was a heavy flow of blood, so I abandoned it (castration) and rushed to hospital.”

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, Anongo said he decided to remove the second testicle because of his religious beliefs.

He said, “Yes, I went to remove the second testicle based on religious belief. But I told this man (his friend) not to tell you (the reporter) because I don’t want to disturb you and don’t want it in public domain, still he (the friend) told you.”

When asked the day he removed the testicle, he said, “I removed it on Monday. The first one had little hitches but this one, having learnt from that experience, I did (remove) it very well. Somebody is always coming to dress it for me.

I’m fine; there is no problem; I’m only waiting for when the wound will be healed so I can remove the stitches.”

The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations kicked off with a number of global broadcasters prepare to beam Africa’s largest sporting event and the world’s third-largest football competition after the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship from Cameroon to millions of fans in 157 countries
A total of $1.850 million was added to the prize money from the quarter-final stage to the final for this year’s edition.
According to Business Insider, In addition to that, but the new prize money for eventual champions of the competition is $5 million – a half a million increase from the previous prize in the 2019 edition.
Plus, the further a nation goes in the tournament, the more money they will automatically receive, so it is within their best interests to progress through the rounds not just for success on the pitch but also for the financial gain

Recall that, CAF was cash strap after last year Nations cup, with many decision makers raising opinions about the organizers and the contract they signed with Total

Each of the eight teams who qualify for the quarter-final of the tournament will receive USD 1.175 million (an increase of USD 175,000 from the previous prize in the 2019 edition).”
Each of the four teams who qualify for the semi-final of the tournament will receive USD 2.2 million (an increase of USD 200,000).” The winners of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will receive a prize of $5 million, while the runners-up will receive a reward of $2.5 million.

Source of the money

Sponsors are essential, and for thE 33rd edition of AFCON, TotalEnergies is the title sponsor of the tournament as part of its eight-year partnership agreement with the Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF). Although CAF does not reveal details of individual sponsorship packages, the expectation is that the revenue generated from brands wishing to be associated with Africa’s top players will generate over US$35 million in revenue for Africa’s governing footbal.

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Nigerian Newspapers:
January 4, 2022

1. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday said cows reared by Fulani herdsmen would no longer be used for any social event in the Southeast. The group stated this in a New Year address by its Head of Directorate Mazi Chika Edoziem, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.

2. No fewer than three people have been killed in Rafin Bauna village of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State. The victims were reportedly on their way from Dutsen Kura to Rafin Bauna when they were ambushed and killed by the assailants.

3. The Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) says it has no connection with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu and Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi. Publicity Secretary, Yinka Oguntimehin said the organization was not involved with a “Mega Accord of 57 civil society groups rooting for southwest presidential candidate”.

4. Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong is saddened by the killing of three people at Rafin Bauna, Bassa Local Government Area. The governor, in a statement on Monday, mandated security agencies in the State to “go after the assailants” who attacked and killed the people on Sunday, and chase them out of Plateau.

5. There was tension in Edo State yesterday when scores of persons with some of them dressed in military uniform and suspected to be Fulani herdsman reportedly invaded a farming community known as 2nd Abumere Ojigbelu Camp in Ovia Northeast Local Government Area of Edo State and chased the villagers away.

6. The University College Hospital, Ibadan, yesterday narrated that the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, died at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital at 01.15 am. The hospital in a statement by its Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations Officer, Toye Akinrinola, said the monarch was referred to UCH from a private hospital in Ibadan about 9.30 pm on Saturday.

7. The Lagos State Ministry of Education has insisted that public and private schools in the State will resume on Tuesday, January 4, 2021, to begin the second term of the 2021/2022 academic session. This is as the Commissioner for Education in the State, Folasade Adefisayo, urged school administrators in all public and private schools in the State to step up safety measures towards reducing insecurity and untoward incidents.

8. Bello Turji, a notorious bandit in Zamfara State, on Monday, released 52 people who had been under captivity for a long time. Turji is the arrowhead of killings and kidnappings around Shinkafi – Sabon Birni and Isah local government areas of Zamfara and Sokoto states.

9. Farmat Paul, a bride-to-be, was kidnapped hours before her wedding in Plateau State. The resident of Ngyong community in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau was abducted at her pastor’s house where she was expected to pass the night before the wedding.

10. One person was killed and many others wounded as gunmen attacked the palace of Eze Imo, Dr E. C. Okeke at Ezioha Amaifeke in Orlu Local Government Area of lmo State. According to the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Mike Abattam, the gunmen stormed the palace around 1pm on Monday.


God bless Nigeria

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Monday, stated that pre-examination activities, including registration for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would start late due to issue arising from the National Identification Number.
2020
Though the board also defended its decision to enforce the National Identity Number requirement in the registration process.
The spokesman for the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the clarifications in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja.
“Most of the board’s pre-examination activities, including the 2022 UTME registration, are starting late owing to some circumstances beyond our control. We are, however, ready to do all that is necessary not only to meet up with the schedule, but also to make the 2022 UTME registration and examination the best so far,” he said.
The board stated in its weekly bulletin published on Monday that its decision to implement the NIN was a game-changer in the fight against impersonation.
Dr.Fabian Benjamin said, “The introduction of the NIN in UTME registration in 2021 by the board was a game-changer in the fight against impersonation and other examination infractions. It is to be noted that the decision to adopt the NIN was a very difficult one given the various challenges and opposition from many quarters to the policy.
“However, the board, seeing the many benefits associated with the deployment of the NIN, took the unpopular but beneficial decision, knowing that any departure from the norm would, more often than not, be met with initial opposition and rejection, and was, therefore, understandably undeterred in its chosen course of action.”
