 Sports / World Cup Draws Eagles May Face Rússia, Belgium And S/korea by ipasco: 7:21am On Nov 22, 2013 |
World Cup draw: Eagles may face Russia, Belgium, S/Korea on november 22, 2013 at 1:07 am in sports African champions, the Super Eagles are set to be placed in Pot 3 when the draw for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is made in the Brazilian state of Bahia on December 6. And interestingly, the Eagles may find themselves in Group F, comprising Belgium, Russia and South Korea, who coincidentally, were in the same group B with Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/eagles-may-face-russia-belgium-skorea/ After 26 months of qualifying matches around the world, the 31 nations that will join hosts Brazil at the 2014 World Cup have emerged with Uruguay becoming the last team to seal their place after taking out Jordan in their two-legged playoffs. FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke will conduct the draw and the balls will be picked out by former World Cup winners from the eight nations who have won the 19 tournaments to date. According to The Metro, these will include Cafu, Fabio Cannavaro, Mario Kempes, Lothar Matthaus, Zinedine Zidane and 1966 legend Sir Geoff Hurst. According to Bleacher Report, the pots separate out the top eight seeded teams and help ensure that teams from the same confederations are separated as much as possible.There are four pots, each containing eight nations. Each pot is drawn in order, so that its teams end up in different groups. So, once Pot 1 is drawn, each group will have their first member. And it will, in all likelihood, be the biggest team in their respective tank. Pot 1 is for the seeded teams, which is based on the October 2013 FIFA rankings, therefore Pot 1 will contain the following, Brazil (ranked 11th), Spain (1st) Germany (2nd) Argentina (3rd), Colombia (4th) , Belgium (5th), Uruguay (6th) and Switzerland (7th) And the authoritative American sports portal added that the Eagles might be drawn in Group F, housing Belgium, Russia and South Korea, though the likelihood of it happening is not just guaranteed, since it is a draw.

| Education / Iyayis' Kinsmen Demand For 50b Naira Compensation From Kogi STATE Government by ipasco: 9:04am On Nov 15, 2013 |
BENIN — THE Onojie of Ugbegunland, hometown of former President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Professor. Festus Iyayi, in Edo State, HRM, Samuel Obade I, and his people, are demanding a compensation of N50 billion to be paid to the immediate family of the late professor by the Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada. The community in a letter dated November 13, to the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, Abuja, on the death of its son in an automobile accident with the governor’s security details, called for a thorough investigation for Nigerians to know the actual cause of Iyayi’s death. This came as eminent Nigerians, including the supervising Minister of Education, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, continued to lament the untimely and tragic death of Professor Festus Iyayi Also, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, described late Professor Iyayi as “a man who gave his all in the struggle and led by example.” *VISIT: From left: Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State; Mrs. Grace Iyayi, (widow) and Mr Oriabure Iyayi, (son), during a condolence visit, yesterday, by the governor to the Iyayis over the death Prof. Festus Iyayi, former ASUU President. Tragic death was avoidable Yesterday, Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, Peoples Democratic Movement, PDM among others said the tragic death was avoidable.’ While NMA, asked the Federal Government to probe the circumstances which led to Iyayi’s death in the crash along the Lokoja – Abuja road on Tuesday, NUPENG claimed the recklessness by the convoy of Governor Wada brought to the fore the need for the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, the police and other relevant traffic agencies to enforce speed limits on our highways by those carrying dignitaries. Wike, in a statement, said: “The late former ASUU President was an erudite scholar whose academic and professional contributions to national development will be missed. I pray God to grant the ASUU, the family of Professor Iyayi and the entire nation, the strength to bear this loss. We are very sad about the death of Professor Festus Iyayi who had been a strong voice in the advancement of quality university education in our country. His death is a huge loss to Nigeria.” NMA calls for probe Commenting on the death, NMA’s President, Osahon Enabulele, said: “While we mourn the extremely sad and tragic death of this dogged and courageous fighter for socio-economic and political justice in Nigeria, and an unrepentant crusader for restoration of standards and excellence in university education, we are pained that his death followed another despicable act of recklessness and impunity by executive convoys. “The NMA, calls on the Federal Government to institute an urgent official inquiry into the circumstances that led to Prof. Iyayi’s death while machinery is urgently put in motion by the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, to put an end to the recklessness of executive convoys whose intolerable impunity has sent many innocent and productive Nigerians to their early graves. ‘’Surely, we shall miss the inspirational literary works and great personality of Prof. Festus Iyayi, especially at this crucial period of our country’s history when his usually frank contributions to the resolution of the several questions bordering on the existence of the Nigerian state, are most needed. ‘’While we await the outcome of the official inquiry into the auto crash, we deeply condole with the entire Iyayi family, the President and members of ASUU and the Vice-Chancellor, University of Benin.’’ NUPENG wants reckless drivers punished NUPENG, in a statement by its General Secretary, Isaac Aberare, while commiserating with the immediate family of Prof. Iyayi and leadership of ASUU, insisted that Iyayi’s death “is just one death too many caused by convoys of this nature and the National Assembly must pass a law to stop such reckless driving and penalise offenders. “NUPENG also calls on the federal and state governments to rehabilitate our roads to make them motorable, instead of the bad incidences of pot holes dotting our roads causing accidents. The nation cannot continue to lose innocent lives due to negligence and recklessness on the part of government and uncaring government drivers. NUPENG condoles with the family of Professor Iyayi, who was a dogged activist, and known for his non-compromising position when he held sway at ASUU and pray that God will grant him eternal rest. Professor Iyayi will be remembered as an astute academic and labour leader who brought the activities of ASUU to limelight and a force to be reckoned with in the fight for better education in our tertiary institutions today.” Iyayi led by example —Oshiomhole Condoling members of the immediate family at their residence in Benin City, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, who noted that Iyayi’s death was a rude shock to him, said: “I am here on behalf of the good people of Edo State to condole with you and members of your family on the death of Professor Festus Iyayi. The Iyayi family cannot be defined in terms of the wife, the immediate children, as well as family members. “Iyayi was a member of a much larger family that cuts across the length and breadth of Nigeria. For me, and I believe for all those who knew him, it was a rude shock. In fact, I was extremely shocked. It was extremely shocking when somebody showed me a text message and suggested in that message that Iyayi might not have survived that accident. I told the man not to spread false rumour. “A week before then, I saw him on television along with his colleagues providing intellectual backing as to why the Federal Government should deliver on its commitment to ASUU as per the agreement signed in 2009. I played a part in the signing of that agreement after both parties shifted ground. “When I learnt that our comrade died in such gruesome manner, only a stone hearted person would not be moved. I do not know how to convey, not just my feeling, but the feelings of those who have known him. “I had known him when I was in the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and ASUU at that time was not part of the NLC. Iyayi along with his colleagues provided intellectual backing to support and encourage the NLC to articulate its position on a variety of socio-economic and political issues. So he was always there”, he said. Oshiomhole noted that “in line with the ASUU tradition of selfless service and sacrifice in the true sense of that word, he would always travel by road covering long distances where even junior officers and lower people would rather take flights. ASUU leaders would always go by road to any part of the country, leading by example. “When people talk of selfless service, commitment to nation, leadership by example giving your all to what you believe in, constituting yourself to a one man liberation army driven by national passion to reposition our great country to lead the continent to the way God had intended, Iyayi represented the best of that tradition”, he noted. Oshiomhole insisted “even those who disagreed with his logic could not fault his position. Even those who faulted his logic could not fault his patriotism that informed those positions. Those are the kind of leadership every community needs if Nigeria would be different from what it has been. “When I came here, I was troubled by the position of Ambrose Alli University and I wanted people who have dedicated their lives to the cause of education, Professor Iyayi and Dr Peter Ozo-Eson are people I knew all their lives they have worked persuading government to accord the appropriate recognition and sufficient allocation to the university system in order to build the much needed competent human capital. “I approached them to be members of the governing council which they readily accepted and offered their time generously along with others to provide leadership for the AAU. When I say that we feel the pains, it is not a matter of rhetoric”, he said. Responding on behalf of the family, Professor Austine Ebewele thanked the governor for the visit and said the death was a big loss not only to the family but also to the university community. PDM blames executive recklessness On its part, PDM, blamed Iyayi’s death on executive recklessness and tasked “highly placed Nigerians to lead by example instead of engaging in acts which continue to make our roads unsafe.” PDM in a statement by its National Chairman, Mallam Yusuf Ibrahim, lamented that Iyayi’s death came at a time “when his academic services are needed the most.” The party said it “deplores the incessant loss of valuable Nigerian lives due to avoidable road accidents caused by poor road construction and, often, by reckless and dangerous driving by highly placed Nigerians. “Nigeria has endured too much loss of its priceless human assets through untimely deaths resulting from unnecessary road accidents.”

Lord have mercy, is all i can say. aggiel: The rate at which planned marriages are failing these days is quite alarming, its no more nollywoods, real life scenario. I never believed white wedding preparations could come to an abrupt end even when the bride price has been paid, bride 6 months pregnant, e be like action movie for my eyes. Wedding was scheduled to hold in mid August, cards printed and distributed, aso-ebi sold, hall was paid for (quite expensive in yaba area), bridal train chosen and their wears made etc. On the day of the traditional marriage which was held a month to the proposed date for the white wedding, the bride was nowhere to be found, my brother paid her bride price in her absence, after traditional rites, where was the bride, we were assured the bride would be brought to us in my hometown, 1hr after we got back to my hometown, we got our shocking news, a sealed envelop containing the bride-price, returned to us. Reason the brides mother said my big bro was not financially capable for her daughter as he could not afford to give her(bride's mother) complete 500k, to throw an evening party for her club friend. Of which my bro had already parted with 250k in respect to this club party stuff. According to her its a party each club member throws on the day of their daughter's wedding, and she couldn't afford been laughed/mocked at. It was like nollywood movie, believe me, that was the biggest joke I've ever experienced, wat amazed most was that the pregnant bride supported her mother in canceling the traditional and the planned white wedding. |

Noted! With all effort. judii: Pls, don't just vamoose without informing her people o! At least, for respect sake, call her parents and find out when you could meet them at home and tell them why you no longer want 2 carry on with the wedding. Nobody knows tomorrow and you don't know where you would meet in future. Its a very disappointing and sad thing, so ensure you do it with all sense of maturity. I hope your decision 2 cancel the wedding is not a rash one? Are you working with facts or rumours? Whatever it is, may God help you to do the right thing. |

A former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Festus Iyayi, is dead, union officials said. Detail of the incident is still sketchy but a News Agency of Nigeria report says Mr. Iyayi, 66, died in a motor accident in Lokoja. The late university teacher was among ASUU leaders who met with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja last week to deliberate on how to end the four-month strike by lecturers. Mr. Iyayi is believed to be travelling to Kano for Wednesday’s National Executive Committee meeting where a vote is likely to be taken on whether the ongoing strike should be called off. Details later…

Thanks but how did your friend recover from The ordeal? baby_123: Call her parents and send an email or letter to all concerned. Take care of the financial aspect of your friends let her handle hers. Go back and retrieve what you can from vendors and you both split the proceeds according to the contribution for the wedding. if your friends want to return the aso ebi, that is if it has not be designed then you will have to swallow the loss. I had a friend that cancelled her wedding. We, her friends told her to forget about returning the aso ebi money. They usually wouldn't want such a money back.lol. Goodluck |

From a male reader I'm not asking if I should cancel my wedding because that has been decided I am only asking how do you go about canceling it and letting invited guests know that this wedding will no longer hold. My ex-fiancee's friends have already paid for the aso-ebi, the wedding invitation has been printed, the hall for the reception booked but there will be no wedding. My wedding was supposed to hold this December but I'd rather commit suicide than marry this woman. I won't go into details about what she did but understand that no man cancels his wedding except it's serious. My parents have been informed about the new development but her parents are yet to be informed. She has refused to tell them, insisting that I do it since I canceled the wedding. But her parents are the least of my worries. How do I tell excited family members, friends and colleagues that this wedding will no longer hold? Where do I start? |
