Fresh air.

Come Thursday, the people of Scotland will be voting in a referendum to either remain with UK or become independen.

If Scotland votes yes, the UK will split and they'll go their seperate ways forever.

Will Scotland be able to sustain its economy.? I believe the risk is great. Even the Scotch whisky companies might relocate to Britain.

What are your views?

Somehow true. Being in public university has given me lots of opportunities. Aporoaching 200L at 20 i bought my first multimedia equipment valued at almost 200k after hustling during carnival calabar. Approaching my final year now, i know 80% of what life is.

Dear Sir/Ma,
This is to inform you that the much anticipated 2nd All Nigerian Universities Debating Championship has been POSTPONED. The postponement became necessary as a result of a memo from the National Universities Commission to the Vice Chancellor of All Nigerian Universities.

The memo is as a result of the recent outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Nigeria and the advisory issued by the Federal Ministry of Health towards effective containment of the Virus.

The NUC advised that clear measures should be taken to prevent its spread within the campuses given the high rate of student and staff mobility. Also, all non-essential travels by staff and students should be discouraged, and visitors identified to have come into the campus from affected areas must be duly screened for the virus before being admitted into the campus. They further advised all Universities to take precautionary measures that will ensure the safety of their communities against this dreaded disease.

Consequent upon the above, the Local Organizing Committee at its emergency of Tuesday, 26th August, 2014 unanimously agreed to postpone the competition till further notice. However, registration continues.

While thanking you for your understanding, we wish to reiterate our commitment to organize a successful and hitch-free competition. Thank you.

Dr. A. K. Adebayo
Chairman, LOC

A typical money loving Nigerian would rather sponsor a politician than an entrepreneur talkless of sponsoring the production of a movie which does not guaranty high returns because of piracy.

TEAM APPLE

Na from bbc o

Apple and Samsung return to court to establish how much the South Korean firm must pay in damages for infringing patents
Apple and Samsung are returning to court in one of the most high-profile patent battles of recent times.
In August 2012, a jury found Samsung guilty of infringing six Apple patents and awarded one of the largest payouts of its kind on record.
The verdict and $1bn (£626m) awarded in damages were seen as a massive victory for Apple.
This is just one of many patent cases the two companies are fighting in courtrooms across the world.
In March 2013, a judge re-examined the $1bn awarded to Apple and reduced the amount saying the damages would need to be assessed at a new trial . Judge Lucy Koh said the original jury in the court in California had incorrectly calculated part of the damages.
The judge said that $550m of the award had been worked out in the proper manner but she ordered that the remaining $450m be reassessed.
That $450m could be increased or lowered meaning that Apple could conceivably end up with more than the original $1bn awarded at the first trial.
Apple had originally sought $2.5bn in damages from Samsung.
Apple claimed that Samsung copied elements of its user interface on its iPad and iPhone devices.
It argued that the South Korean company had copied its designs for the bodies of the original iPhone and iPad as well as user-interface elements such as the bounce-back response when a person scrolls beyond the end of list and tap-to-zoom.
Samsung argued it was already working on rounded rectangular handsets dominated by a screen and a single button months before the iPhone was revealed. It sought $519m in damages from Apple.
Stealing isn't right
At the time of the original ruling Samsung said the decision was bad news for consumers and would "lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices"
Apple said it applauded the court "for finding Samsung's behaviour wilful and for sending a loud clear message that stealing isn't right".
Even after this latest trial, which will involve a new jury, both companies could appeal.
"I think they will appeal unless they settle," intellectual property consultant Florian Mueller told the BBC.
"But at this point neither party has enough leverage to force someone into settling if they don't want to. And we're not there yet," he said.
Apple has asked for a sales ban to be imposed on the Samsung products that had been found to infringe the patents. But the judge ruled that Apple could adequately be compensated financially.
"Between these types of big players a $1bn damages award is not as bad as a sales ban," said Mr Mueller.
Battles between Apple and Samsung have escalated as Samsung has eaten into Apple's market share
Apple appealed against that ruling and the result of the appeal is due before the end of the year.
Samsung and Apple are currently locked in a battle in the courts of more than 10 countries across Europe.
The European Union authorities had said the South Korean company's litigious actions were stifling competition. Samsung faced a potential £11.3bn ($18.3bn) fine if found guilty of breaching European anti-trust laws.

And the op did not deem it fit to come back and tell us which university won.

Kai how do you expect him to know all that happens during church events where multitudes gather? And even if he was aware of the incident, must he broadcast his actions for the world to know what he did? I guess you're not happy because he ain't a show man

nora544: Adeboye is not a real christian because he preaches about witchhunting that kill kids, and no real christian can do this.

bufness: no1 clearly understand d question.... for me Drz a practice in rccg I do not lyk tat z members giving tanks 2 adeboye wen giving testimony,I even witnessed 1 wen daddy was kinda embarrassed and ordered members to STP
