A young Nigerian man simply identified as Emeka was killed in a fatal car accident. The deceased who hailed from Awka-Etiti town in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was reported to have come back from South Africa in December 2017 to celebrate Christmas festivity and officially launch his new house.

According to reports, he went back to his base in South Africa on January - only for him to die in a fatal accident while driving his classy car last month, February 2018.

Preparations and arrangements for his burial are underway. May his soul rest in peace.

Because of your love for football, we have compared your fave schools with some football power houses. Check it out.

In a country where the third largest religion is soccer, Nigerian youths can see football in everything.

Nigerians’ love for football is so much that university communities are not left out of the soccer fever in the country.

Soccer is a national sport, that gets Nigerians attentions. From local leagues to European football leagues, there are fans everywhere.

If Nigerian universities have football academies, the soccer department would probably be oversubscribed because of our seemingly national passion for the round leather game.

Interestingly, Nigeria Universities are not offering soccer related courses but some of these institutions share similar behaviours or characteristics with some European football houses.

Pulse compares your favourite Universities with European Football Clubs and here are the results of the comaprison.

1. UNILAG vs Manchester United FC



The University of Lagos in terms of characteristics and history share some similarities with the Red Devils.

Just like Manchester United FC, UNILAG has a history with records that no university in Lagos state has been able to match.

As you all know that the Red Devil is the first English Club to win the treble, so is UNILAG the first University to win double – the first to have Radio and TV station. The respect UNILAG commands is much like that of the Red Devil. Even a president could not change its name.

2. Covenant University vs Manchester City FC



Tucked away in the heart of Ogun state, Covenant University from a state of obscurity rose to be one of the best (if not the best) in Nigeria. Even if we all agree that CU is not the topmost university in Nigeria, we can not deny the fact that it is one of the top four institutions. If you disagree, check out the top 10 universities in Nigeria here.

The rise and rise of Covenant University among private and government-owned universities in Nigeria is pretty like that of Manchester City FC. The striking similarity between these two institutions is their financial strength. As institutions, both Man City and Covenant University have rich owners.

3. Obafemi Awolowo University- Liverpool FC


The common denominator between Obafemi Awolowo University and Liverpool FC is what many people refer to as past glory.

Liverpool and OAU some years ago used to be the best institutions in their different leagues. As an academic institution, OAU is one of the first generation universities that made land mark achievements in the past.

4. University of Ibadan- Real Madrid FC


In the 2017 THE World University Ranking, the University of Ibadan is the only institution that represents Nigeria in the rating. That makes UI the best University in the country, right?

Also, in the Webomatric university ranking in 2018, University of Ibadan tops the list. Doesn’t that make UI the champion back to back?

Because of these achievements, we decide to place the premier institution side by side with Real Madrid because the Los Blancos always prove their worth among European Champions…that is what UI is to Nigerian Universities.

Again, University of Ibadan is the first University in Nigeria, it has produced great scholars and academic giants renowned for their works. From Chinua Achebe to Wole Soyinka to Christopher Okigbo, Elechi Amadi and so on, this institution has a lot of scholars to be proud of.

Same can be said of Real Madrid’s the Galacticos.

5. Lagos State University vs Chelsea FC



One would have thought LASU by virtue of its location-Lagos would have been regarded as Man city rivalling the Red Devil, but LASU and Man City do not have many things in common.

Like Chelsea, LASU has had series of management crisis that led to the sack of Vice Chancellors.

Another interesting fact about these two institutions is that BLUE is the official colour of both Lagos State University and Chelsea Football Club.

Honorary Mention… Arsenal FC

Shout out to Nigerian students who are Arsenal fans. The North London Club could have made this list, but we look around but didn’t see any higher institution that has been overseen and managed by one Vice Chancellor for over 20 years.

But if you think there is any Nigerian university, polytechnic or College of Education that shares some characteristics with Arsenal FC tell us in the comment section. Thank you.

Bottom line is, marry from good homes. Homes of learned and morally sound parents. Not the kind of homes where the mother is living separately in one location while the father is living somewhere else. Also avoid the homes of "money-miss-roads" with zero education but bags of money. Those are usually the type of people who don't consider other people beyond how much they have in the bank.
The best thing in life is having both money and wisdom to make unbiased judgements about life generally.

Coalition9ja:
We all know the ails of our country, the shortcomings of its leadership and we have discussed them in various fora, debates, articles, papers and many other mediums but the plain truth is that the endless analysis of our problems and solutions proffered on paper without taking action on them will leads us nowhere and as dire as the situation may be today, we must unite to take back our fate in our hands, unite to create a third force; the true force, a united front that will reclaim not just our future but reassess the rules of engagement at all levels of government.

The road to reclaiming our future requires the unification of all well meaning Nigerians particularly the Nigerian youth and unfazed resolve to do the right thing.

The precursor to the actualization of this goal is the birth of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement.
The Movement will not just amplify our feelings and struggles as a Nation, but will also be at the core of enabling a transition from where we are, to where we ought to be.

This movement is more than a demand for good governance and a better standard of living for every Nigerian, it is a movement that sets in motion and works the wheels towards the eventual actualization of our demand by bringing everyone together to collectively tackle the immense challenges that stunt our progress and their enablers and to consciously activate our constitutionally enshrined right not just to decide those who lead us but to keep them constantly accountable to us.

Come on board and reclaim your Country, its yours to preserve, protect and perpetuate. .

This media war on innocent Fulani tribe will be lost. Why must we blame every atrocity on Fulani herdsmen? Haba this is getting out of hand. Even though some fulani's are guilty of violence, it doesn't mean there are no good fulanis. Should we conclude that all Igbos are criminals because of Evans? I'm surprised the Rivers new year killings wasn't blamed on Fulani herdsmen. You guys need to take it easy on Fulani's. How many igbo or yoruba can rear cattles to meet the commercial demand of Nigeria? Instead of demonizing the fulanis, let's support the cattle colonies so we can live together in peace. Remember no tribe in Nigeria can defeat the Fulanis should we embrace violence. I pray for peace

•Says governance failure cause of secession agitations
https://23069-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/bola-tinubu-450.jpg

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, has linked the secession agitations agitations in the country to the “chronic failure of government to meet basic aspirations” of the citizens.



Tinubu has consequently advised the Federal Government to dialogue with the agitators rather than embrace confrontational approach, warning that the “cry of separation has gained traction among the average people.”

He posited that if successive governments had delivered on their promises of abundant life and justice for the citizenry, those rooting for secession would not have been taken seriously.

Tinubu spoke in Lagos in a keynote addressed entitled “A New Nigeria or a Better One: The Fitting Tools of a Great Repair,” at the 2017 annual dinner of the King’s College Old Boys Association.

“Thus, we have people clamouring for secession in one part of the country and the murmur of such a course grows stronger in other sections. These other areas resent that some have advocated secession. Blame and recrimination become the political currency. Statesmanship falls in short supply. The dominant urge is to confront instead of reconcile.

“It would be wrong to mistake this for a tempest in a teapot. If not careful, we may be tossed about like a teapot in a tempest. We must listen to what is being said so that we can determine what is really meant.

“Let us be frank. Many who cry separation do so because their personal ambitions will be better served by such a thing. They believe they will have greater chance at political power under a different arrangement.

“Yet the cry for separation has gained traction among average people; this is due to the chronic failure of government to meet basic aspirations.

“If over the years, government had delivered on the promise of growth, prosperity, and justice, those calling for such extreme remedies would be but a small fringe of little consequence.

“Our task is not to condemn but to listen and understand. I care not at all for this proposed solution. But I dare not discount the concerns and problems that have led many people into advocating such a thing,” he said.

Tinubu opposed the dismemberment of the country as canvassed by the secessionists, and in its stead suggested a roundtable discussion of the problems militating against the growth and development of the country.

“Being more pragmatic, separating the nation into small pieces resolves nothing and creates additional problems…Such a thing would make us more vulnerable to outside influences. We would forfeit our rightful place on the world stage and as a leader of this continent.

“Moreover, not every split solves a problem. The political mentality, either good or bad, that defined a group before the split will remain after the divide. If one is imbued with factionalism, that perspective will remain even when the immediate problem is surmounted. Division will manifest differently, but manifest it will,” he said.

He suggested a rethinking of the national economic model, which he described as not only old but crumbling and presented the greatest challenge, suggesting a national industrial policy that would foster the development of strategic industries, create jobs and ginger economic growth.

Breaking: Withdrawal of solders from the streets commences tomorrow says Ikpeazu
Media Update by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State on the security situation in the state.
Gentlemen of the press, permit me to use this medium to update my brothers and sisters of Abia State origin, and those living and doing business in the state on the current security situation.
Dear brothers and sisters, the security situation in the state in the past few days, which led to the deployment of soldiers into our state ahead of the Operation Python dance 11, has become of great concern to both the government and the citizenry.
After several interventions, I want to inform you that by tomorrow morning, there will be withdrawal of solders from the streets at Aba and Umuahia, apart from the pre-existing military checkpoints at various location in the state.
With the expected exit of soldiers from the streets, we must warn that we will not tolerate agitators and protesters taking over the streets for any reason at all.
I will also be meeting the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Mohamaudu Buhari, to discuss possible ways of relaxing the Operation Python dance 11 in the state for now.
Our attention have been drawn to ugly incidences of attacks on police stations and military posts at Aba and Umuahia and we hereby warn that we will no longer tolerate that, and all other acts that are capable of causing insecurity in the state.
We have also observed illegal acts of throwing petrol bombs and setting up of bonfires to obstruct free movements along some roads by suspected miscreants and wish to warn that such acts should stop forthwith.
To mischief makers who want to use Abia as their base, let me announce to you that henceforth, Abia will be too hot for you to carry out your wicked acts as the government will work with security agents to ensure the protection of lives and properties in the state without fear or favor. There will be no hiding place for you.
At about midnight yesterday, we received security reports that hoodlums and miscreants, some of whom were allegedly brought into the state by unscrupulous individuals, were mobilizing around Uratta road at Aba with a view to converging at Ariaria International Market to burn it down. Their aim was obviously to take advantage of the security situation in the state to cripple the economy of the state and cause widespread suffering.
It was this group that originated the rumors of attacks and counter attacks around the area and also tried to create panic to force people out of their homes to enable them execute their evil intentions under the cover of orchestrated crises.
Thankfully their plan was nipped in the bud by the combined team of soldiers and policemen that promptly moved to the area and later positioned around Ariaria market to protect the lives and properties of our people.
We have it on good authority that the same group of hoodlums attempted to burn down the police station at Ariaria market early today and security agents are currently on the hunt for them and those outside the state who are sponsoring their evil actions. Not even one of them will escape the full weight of the law.
Members and sympathizers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should henceforth desist from spreading false rumors capable of throwing our state into disorder. Those spreading such falsehood will be dealt with, according to the Law.
My fellow Abians, it is in the interest of all our citizens and residents for full and total peace and security to return to our state immediately. No meaningful progress can be made in an atmosphere of violence and and anarchy.
Those at Aba are therefore advised to fully observe the current curfew in the city and ensure that they cooperate with security agents to maintain peace and order.
I swore to protect lives and properties of all Abians and residents and that I must do. I therefore call on all to support our efforts at making sure that lasting peace prevails in our dear state.
God bless Abia State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Dr Okezie Ikpeazu
Governor of Abia State.
