toboy: John, that particular stage wasted me like 2 good hours before i could figure it out. The essay must not be more than 250 words with spacings. here is how u you should do it. open a Microsoft word and type the essay there. to check your word count, Highlight all the essay, click on format in menu bar,then click on word count to check the number of character spacings. when you reach the essay stage then copy from the MS-word and paste the essay in the MUSTE essay space. make sure your essay is not more than 250 words with spacings otherwise you wouldn't go to the next page of the application. Good luck !

Dider Drogba and Jose Mourinho shared
many memories together at Chelsea and
while the giant Ivorian is retired these days,
it appears the two friends shared and will
continue to share a bond that is simply quite
special. Here’s Jose Mourinho’s foreword to
Didier Drogba’s autobiography. If you don’t
feel the urge to cry after this, you’re not
human!
I’m a person who likes to treasure
memories, and with them I can tell the
world many things. I’m not a writer, even
less a poet, but my life has been rich with
stories, stories full of extraordinary
moments. Looking back at them, I can find
only a few special people who I will keep in
my soul and in my heart forever.
Didier Drogba came into my life in the fifth
minute of a Champions League game in
Marseille’s mythical Vélodrome. I’d hardly sat
down when that giant with the number 11
on his shirt scored. I remember he
celebrated that goal like it was his last and
he turned an already hostile atmosphere
into a fireball of flares, chants and emotion.
The crowd went mad, the noise was
deafening.
At half-time I found him in the tunnel and
told him: ‘I don’t have the money to buy you,
but do you have any cousins that can play
like you in the Ivory Coast?’ In the middle of
this tense qualification game he laughed,
hugged me and said: ‘One day you’ll be in a
club which can buy me.’
Six months later I signed for Chelsea. I had
found a super powerful club which
everybody wanted to negotiate with,
everybody wanted to be linked to – and
everybody wanted to play for. I had a
number of options, but I arrived and said: ‘I
want Didier Drogba.’ Doubts and questions
were raised by a few people: ‘Why this
one?’, ‘Why not that one?’, ‘Are you sure he
will adapt?’, ‘Is he really that good?’
‘I want Didier Drogba,’ I said.
A few days passed and I met with Didier in a
private airport in London. Again he hugged
me, but this time in an unforgettable way:
an embrace that showed this man’s
gratitude, and the affection he feels towards
people who mean a lot to him.
Indescribable. Then he told me: ‘Thank you. I
will fight for you. You won’t regret it. I will
stay loyal to you forever.’ And that’s just
what he’s done. His loyalty came out in his
leadership and in the way he always faced
up to the difficult moments. Moments when
nothing else matters than to be there for
your leader and your colleagues. This was a
person I knew I could count on whenever
and wherever I needed. When the team was
under pressure he would go back and help
the defenders; when he felt pain he would
stretch himself to the limit and never give
up. Then of course came what he did best:
he scored and scored. Those goals brought
him titles, amazing awards, but what stays
with me are the countless stories we have
together.
Didier is a special person. And I repeat if I
may: person. I could say player of course –
and he’s an unbelievable one – but above all,
his impact on the world at the moment is as
a person: as an African, as an emperor of
the Ivory Coast, as a father, and as a son and
as a friend. And some of us have the
privilege to have him in our lives. Months
after the Cup final I was out of Chelsea. As
on the first day, there came that same
embrace. I couldn’t speak and Didier could
only say: ‘This is not possible, this is not
possible, this is not happening.’ I could only
find the strength to turn and walk away.
Perhaps this preface should focus on Didier
the player. But the player everybody knows –
the leader, the title collector, the benefactor
as well. All these things he has achieved with
skill, effort and humility. Didier is in my life as
one of the best players I have managed in
my career. But much more importantly, he’s
in my life as one of the best and most
unforgettable friends.Together, the two of
us side by side, fighting for the same thing?
Far away? In different clubs? In different
countries? Or old, with Didier in retirement
and me coaching in a wheelchair? It doesn’t
matter.
Didier. Always near to my heart.”
José Mourinho

Culled from SoccerNation!!!

Following two meetings (on
Thursday 19th Sept 2013 and Friday 11th
Oct 2013) of representatives
of the AVCNU (Association of Vice-
Chancellors of Nigerian
Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof.
Hamisu of ATBU)
and ASUU Representatives (led by its
President, Dr. Fagge)
with the Vice-President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria,
Arc. N. Sambo, Minister of Education Barr. N.
Wike and
others, all Vice-Chancellors have been urged
to inform and
enlighten academic and other staff on the
following
developments so that we can ensure a
return to normalcy in
our universities within the shortest possible
time.
1.Earned Allowances: The N30 billion already
released will
now be increased to N40 billion, and should
be regarded only as first installment, and not
a once-and-for-all payment.
Government will top it up with further
releases once
universities are through with the
disbursement of this new
figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are
urged to
expedite this disbursement within the
shortest possible time using guiding
templates that have been sent by the CVC.
2. NEEDS Assessment Capital Money:
Government was
cognizant and mindful of the ability of
Universities to
effectively/efficiently utilize the N100 billion
fund
immediately, hence that figure. However, in
addition to
this N100 billion dedicated and already to be
made available for 2013, N200 billion
(increased from N150 billion previously
agreed) will now be earmarked in the 2014
Budget as well as each of the following
three-four years until the Universities are
brought to world-class standard.
3. Project Prioritization: Universities will now
be allowed
to determine their priorities and not be
“rail-roaded” into
implementing a pre-determined set of
projects with respect to the NEEDS
assessment. Decisions are not to be
centralized.
4. TETFund Intervention: Government
assured that the
operations of the TETFund will not be
impaired, and that the regular TETFund
intervention disbursement to Universities
will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS
assessment capital outlays are in addition to
regular TETFund intervention.
5. IMC: A new Implementation Monitoring
Committee
(IMC) for the NEEDs ASSESSMENT intervention
for
universities has been set up to take over
from the Suswan
Committee. The new one is under the
Federal Ministry of
Education and chaired by the Honorable
Minister of
Education. In addition, to build confidence
and ensure faithful implementation and
prevent any relapse as before, the Vice
President will meet quarterly with the IMC to
monitor progress.
6. Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit
a blue print
for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President.
7. Official Agreement Document: A signed
document
would be issued very soon to itemize the full
issues on which this present consensus
outlined here, brokered by AVCNU, has been
reached.
8. An Appeal to Call Off Strike: The Vice-
President
Sambo appealed to ASUU to call off the strike
and apologized for the "take-it-or-leave-it"
comments credited to the Hon Minister of
Finance. All other parties present at the
meetings also prevailed on the ASUU
leadership to consult objectively with its
members to get them to agree with what is
now on the table and to call off the strike as
soon as possible after the Sallah break of
Tuesday/Wednesday October 15/16 2013.
9. ASUU President Responds: At both
meetings, the President of ASUU thanked the
VP for taking over
negotiations and promised to consult with
his ASUU
Constituency.
We keep our fingers firmly crossed, as we
await both the
official consensus agreement document and
full ASUU
reaction. Statesmanship from all sides is
called for at this point in time.
Signed:
Prof. Mobolaji E. Aluko
Vice-Chancellor
Federal University Otuoke.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!!!
