Sports › Meet Diego Alves - The Penalty-taker's Nightmare by P0intBlank(op): 10:12pm On Oct 02, 2016

If your team is awarded a penalty, naturally you should be excited. However, if the keeper you'd have to beat is Diego Alves then you should be extremely worried. Diego Alves is a penalty king who has defied many big names in Spanish football (Messi, Ronaldo, Diego Costa, Rakitic, Griezmann, Mandzukic, Bacca) from 12 yards. The goalkeeper has faced 45 spot kicks in all competitions for Almeria and current side Valencia, and saved an incredible 22 of them. Only 21 were scored, with one off target and one hitting the crossbar.

Against Atletico Madrid on Sunday afternoon he saved two penalties in the same game, first denying Antoine Griezmann and then Gabi.

Despite his heorics, Valencia went down 2-0, with Griezmann opening the scoring and Kevin Gameiro netting a late second, sending Atletico top of La Liga for the time being.

The goalkeeper was not happy with the defeat. "I don't care about the penalty saves," he said afterwards. "I always say when penalties saved help the team win I’m happy, but I'm not when we lose.”

Sports › Leicester City Striker Ahmed Musa: I Want To Give Something Back by P0intBlank(op): 3:44pm On Sep 30, 2016

Leicester City attacker Ahmed Musa has told The Guardian he wants to "give something back" to people in his native Nigeria.

Musa, who joined the Foxes from CSKA Moscow in a £16 million summer deal, said his success did not mean he would forget his roots.

"The people back home have been so nice to me, so I want to give something back to them," the 23-year-old said.

"When I go back home in the future I can train with the children and feel very happy."

Musa is overseeing the building of a sports centre in Hotoro, reflecting his own start in the game at the Aminchi Football Academy as a schoolboy.

He said he had been persuaded to move to the Premier League by compatriot Nwankwo Kanu, who starred in the division for Arsenal.

"Kanu is like a role model for me," he said. "I got to know him when I started playing in the national team.

"I spoke to him before I came to Leicester. I was in Russia and he called me, because he always advises me what to do. He told me that I would enjoy it in the Premier League and England, that it was a nice place."

Musa said he knew he would need time to adapt to the English game, having made two starts for the champions so far, but said he was looking forward to testing his pace against teammate Jamie Vardy.

"We haven't tried yet, so I can't say now who is the quickest. But I tell you this -- we're going to have a race one day," he said.

SunFlow:
Nigeria won her third gold medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games in Brazil courtesy of Team Nigeria’s Captain Lucy Ejike who also broke the Paralympic and world record to dominate the women’s -61kg event in powerlifting.

Power-lifter, Paul Kehinde, in the 65kg men’s category, had earlier on Friday lifted 218kg to beat his competitors to win the country’s second gold medal after Roland Ezuruike opened the gold haul also in powerlifting on Friday.

Ejike began her campaign at the Riocentro Pavillion 2 on Sunday with a successful attempt at 136.0kg, which was a new Paralympic Record (PR) and World Record (WR). However, that was just the beginning as she went on to set a superior mark of 138.0kg at her next attempt, before culminating with a massive lift of 142.0kg.

Egypt’s Fatma Omar finished in 2nd place with her lift of 140kg. China’s Yan Yang won the Bronze medal with a distant 128kg. China’s Peng Hu (200kg) came second, while Egypt’s Shaaban Ibrahim (193kg) came third. Ejike and Kehinde’s victory take Nigeria’s total medal tally to 5 – three gold and two silver medals which came from Latifat Tijani and Esther Onyema.

Already the performances of Nigeria’s physically-challenged athletes has drowned their main Olympics counterparts who only managed a football bronze medal throughout the competition.

In a pulsating encounter which lasted six minutes shy of 4 hours, Wawrinka defeated Djokovic 6-7(1-7),6-4,7-5,6-3. Djokovic was seeking to win his third slam of the year but could not match the fire power of the Swiss. With this victory, Wawrinka has now won three Grand Slams (same as Andy Murray). Strikingly, all his Grand Slam victories have come against World No 1s (Djokovic [twice] and Nadal [once]). Stan Wawrinka has underlined his reputation as the man for the big occasion. He has now won his last 11 finals in a row. The Late-blooming Swiss star could yet achieve a Career Grand Slam as Wimbledon is now the only major missing in his cabinet.

Education › Recession: Schools Offer Discounts, Dump Foreign Trips To Survive by P0intBlank(op): 2:16pm On Sep 09, 2016

Indications emerged on Thursday that some schools have adopted drastic measures to retain pupils and survive the harsh operating environment.

School managers in Ogun and Lagos states, who spoke to our correspondent, said they had adopted some options, including slashing of tuition, offering ‘saving incentives’ to parents and limiting overseas excursions.

For instance, the KICC International School, a faith-based institution at Maryland, Lagos State, has slashed its tuition by 50 per cent to ‘give back to the society’. Two officials of the school, who declined to identify themselves, confirmed the development on Thursday. One of them said the management of the school made the decision after a series of complaints from parents.

She said, “The school is new and we decided to give a 50 per cent discount on tuition. Fifty per cent discount is a lot on anything. We are a charity organisation and it is our core mandate to give back to the society. So, recession or no recession, we are giving back to the society.”

The KIS is not alone. In Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the Principal, Premier College, Mr. Iyke Okpe, said the recession had presented private schools with difficult choices. According to him, one of the tough choices for many schools offering scholarships to indigent pupils is whether to stop the programme entirely. He added that his school had to introduce savings incentives with the aim of reducing tuition.

“Recession is a fact of life in Nigeria now and no one is more hit than private school operators who are facing very tough times choosing between continuing to educate non-paying pupils and throwing them out. For most schools, including ours, we recognise the challenge brought by the depressed economic situation and so we are offering savings incentives to parents.

“These savings ultimately reduce our fees to the benefit of our parents while we struggle to ensure services are stabilised for a great education experience by the youngsters. We have a responsibility to support our parents at this time and I think our school and some others are of reducing fees to ensure parents are not unnecessarily inconvenienced for sending their wards to good schools,’’ he said.

While Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, has not slashed its tuition, its Vice-Principal, Mr. Muraina Olusesi, told our correspondent that visits by pupils to foreign countries would be shelved because of the difficulty in sourcing forex.

“Our basic programme is still in place because we believe in quality education. Most parents understand that they will need to priortise, they know that quality education for their children is important. We cannot cut corners because we believe in quality. We should be able to carry out all our programmes for the session. However, foreign excursions might not be feasible for now. We will limit our site visits to places within the country because of the forex scarcity,” he said.

The Chief Executive Officer, Edumark Consult, Mrs. Yinka Ogunde, said the recession would have a tremendous effect on school operations. She also predicted that parents who were high-income earners would not be exempted from the effects of the harsh economy.

“A lot of schools have started cutting school fees, offering discounts and gradual payment plans to parents. The reality is that recession is here and it is going to be a major issue in school operations. It is also going to cut across parents who are low and high-income earners. So, you will see many schools planning a way out of the situation,’’ she said.

However, some parents have expressed concerns that a reduction in tuition may result in the lowering of standards. Some of them who expressed their concerns wondered where the schools would get revenue to pay their workers and maintain their facilities.

A parent, Lola Folarin, said that the development was a marketing strategy to retain parents.

She said, “Something is wrong somewhere. Are they going to reduce staff salaries or reduce the quality of education? I think it is desperation on how to retain and entice new parents. I have about two schools around my house also doing that. They claim it is scholarship or discount.’’

Sports › Paul Pogba’s Man Utd Shirt Sales Breaks New Record by P0intBlank(op): 1:53am On Sep 04, 2016*

Paul Pogba may have cost Manchester United a small fortune, but the French midfielder has already started repaying his world record fee after it was revealed his shirt sales have reached £190 million in just three weeks.

As one of Adidas’ main sponsored athletes, the German sportswear company invest most of their marketing and advertising budgets into the 23-year-old, and it seems to have paid off in spades.

It has been revealed by Adidas that Manchester United shirts with ‘Pogba 6’ on the back have blown away records for fans purchasing them – by generating almost £200 million since the first week of August.

Oga if u were even educated and could read charts u would even be more convinced that gej ruined this country...

That graph shows a steady reduction in our GDP since 2014...

Go to school you won't go.

It's funny how people insult others when they are actually the ones that are ignorant. Examine the chart well the GDP did not reduce. GDP kept growing every quarter under GEJ as depicted in the chart. What reduced was the growth rate.

Let me give you an example:

YR1,Q1- N1000
YR1,Q2- N1100 (10% growth rate)
YR1,Q3- N1155 (5% growth rate)
YR1,Q4- N1189.65 (3% growth rate)

YR2,Q1- N1165.86 (-2% growth rate)

You can see from the example above the GDP in Yr1 did not reduced. It never will as long as the growth rate is positive. Only when the growth rate is negative do you have a reduction in GDP. Please note oil is just 13% of our GDP. So do not put all the blame on oil.

Paul Anber's essay "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt:
" '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 1.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 11,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 6,220 individual members, the west 555,776, and the north a mere 2,407 ." ''...

Nice Reply. I saw Ritchiee's post and wondered how he arrived at his conclusion "YOU ARE A LIAR OR ILLITERATE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT YORUBA LEADS IN TECHNOLOGY AS WE SPEAK".

I sent him this link http://nlipw.com/in-honor-of-wipo-day-10-nigeria-inventors/. I expected a response but he carefully ignored it. If his assertions were true, I would have expected them to dominate a list of Nigeria Inventors YOU SHOULD KNOW. The initial list had 16 notable inventors but it was later modified to include 5 more. On this list they are 9 Igbos and 5 Yorubas.

No one can categorically say one tribe is better in technology than the other without exhaustive facts. For him to base his statement on 4 or 5 inventions is presumptuous to say the least. Importantly, He doesn't have put other people down just to make himself (or his people) look better. Our successes are not mutually exclusive.

Why did you prefer manufacturing to importing?

I have passion for innovation. As an engineer, I do not believe that trading is the way forward. Engineers believe that trading does not build the economy of any country; it is through innovative manufacturing and application of the latest technology. Manufacturing is the heartbeat of any economy; without manufacturing, the economy will be stagnant and may collapse under global market pressures. Trading is just a short-term engagement; manufacturing is long-term.

Neymar left the home fans in ecstasy as he arrowed home the fifth and final penalty to give Brazil a 6-5 victory over Germany after both sides could not be separated in 120 minutes. The scoreline after extra time stood at 1-1. The host took the lead in 27th minute from a superbly taken free-kick by Neymar only to see that lead cancelled out in the 59th minute as Max Meyer turned in a cross from Jeremy Toljan.
Both sides scored their first four penalties. Then Wéverton produced a save to deny Nils Petersen. The script couldn't have been written better as Neymar stepped up and scored handing Brazil their first Olympic Soccer Gold Medal. Brazil for all its prowess had never won an Olympic gold. To realise this dream, Neymar had to forfeit playing in the Copa Centenario - that's how much it meant to the Brazil. This victory would to an extent ameliorate the pains inflicted by the losses in The Maracana to Uruguay (1950) and Germany (2014)

P.S. It's been a year of breaking Jinx. Germany broke theirs against Italy. France did the same to Germany and Portugal to France. Leicester broke a jinx (Not since Blackburn in 1995 had any middleweight team won the EPL). Now Brazil have broken theirs beating the otherwise reliable penalty kings, Germany.

And just like Portugal in Euros, the lesson is the same - it's not how you start that matters but how you end.

Politics › New Boko Haram Video Shows Missing Chibok Girls, Dad Says by P0intBlank(op): 9:55am On Aug 15, 2016*

A Father identifies his daughter

The father of one of the missing Nigerian schoolgirls abducted from Chibok two years ago has told CNN he is overjoyed to see her alive on a new video released by the terrorist group Sunday. Yakubu Kabu confirmed to CNN that he saw his daughter speaking in the new video, which demands the release of Boko Haram fighters in exchange for the kidnapped girls.

The Nigerian government has said it is now "in touch" with Boko Haram and "working for the girls' release," the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture said on their official Facebook page."We are being extremely careful because the situation has been compounded by the split in the leadership of Boko Haram," said Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information of Culture, according to the statement.

The video, more than 11 minutes long, is addressed to the "families of the Chibok girls."

In the video a masked Boko Haram militant, holding a rifle, speaks in the Hausa language in front of a group of around 50 girls wearing headscarves. A girl is picked out to answer questions about who she is and she gives her name as Maida Yakubu.
Yakubu is then told to pass on a message to the Nigerian government asking them to release Boko Haram fighters who are in jail.
She also pleads with the parents of the girls to intervene so that she and others can be freed by the militant group.
"We are not happy living here," Yakubu says in the video. "I'm begging our parents to meet the government to release their people so that we can be released."

Forty girls married off?

Her father told CNN that his daughter is also known as Dorcas Yakubu. He said: "I'm very, very happy I saw my daughter on the video and I'm very happy she's alive. Some people has said the kidnapping is not true. Some people have said they are no more alive. Now I see her and I know she's ok." Kabu added that he recognized many other girls from Chibok in the video clip.

In April 2014, Boko Haram militants kidnapped 276 teenage girls from their boarding school in Chibok. Around 57 girls managed to escape, but about 200 girls remain missing. In May, one girl, Amina Ali was found alive on the edge of the Sambisa forest, which is believed to be the terrorist group's stronghold.In the new video some of the girls stare blankly into the camera while others look petrified as the man reels off a series of demands, including freeing Boko Haram fighters in exchange for the abducted girls.

The video also shows what appears to be several dead and injured girls strewn across the ground. The man claims some of the girls were killed by an airstrike by Nigerian military jets.The militant also said 40 girls have been married off. He then issues a threat, saying the girls will never be rescued alive if the government uses force to rescue them.

The table attests to competitive nature of the Premiership. Only Man Utd won by a 2-goal margin.

But Hull at no. 3, you can't be serious.
