Phillip Hughes hoped that South Australia’s first-class match with New South Wales on 25 November last year would help him earn a recall to the Australian Test side. “He was making a statement,” David Warner recounts in the batsman’s official biography. “He was going to go big. He was sick the night before, he was sick that morning, but he had to play because there was a Test around the corner.” Though not at his fluent best as the New South Wales attack tested him with the short ball, Hughes passed 50 and had designs on recording his 27th first-class hundred in the week of his 26th birthday. On 63, he received a bouncer, which he shaped to hook, but Hughes was too early on the ball and it struck him on the back of the neck. Hughes staggered for a few seconds and then collapsed. He would never regain consciousness and, two days later, was pronounced dead.

Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, which is
owned by the federal government is one of the first
generation universities in Nigeria, and it prides itself
as the leader among other universities in the
country.

In fact, the alumni of the university often claim that
OAU is the most beautiful campus in Africa.
Founded in 1961 as the University of Ife by the
regional government of Western Nigeria and
renamed Obafemi Awolowo University on 12 of May
1987, in honour of the first premier of the Western
Region of Nigeria, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, OAU is
ranked as the most productive university in Nigeria
by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

The campus has an eye-catching landscape built
on about 5,000 acres out of a total of 13,000 acres
of land belonging to the university. Unfortunately,
some of the facilities that once portrayed OAU as a
beautiful campus, especially the students’ halls of
residence, are decomposing and the rot bedevilling
the university is now enormous. The beauty of the
OAU students’ halls of residences has given way to
decay due to neglect.

There are 8 halls of residence including Fajuyi,
Awolowo, Angola and E.T.F for male students, while
Moremi, Akintola, Alumni and Mozambique halls of
residence are for female students. Signs of wear
and tear were very visible on the long stretch of
buildings when Daily Trust visited.

The living condition of the students in these halls of
residence is pathetic. At the Awolowo Hall, our
correspondent observed that the toilets were in bad
state in most of the blocks. In one of the toilets, the
closet had broken and the bathrooms reeked of
fermented urine. The students lamented that the
university authority was not carrying out renovation
on the hostels. The motto of the university is, “For
learning and culture” but owing to the bad condition
of their hostels, the students have parodied this
motto to “For learning and suffering.”

Mr Oladapo Rasheed, a 200 level student of the
Linguistics department is the General Secretary of
Awolowo Hall of residence. He told Daily Trust that
bedbugs have colonised the hostel “Our mattresses
are full of bedbugs owing to non-fumigation. We
brought our mattresses from our respective
homes, but over the time, the bedbug penetrated
the mattresses because the environment is dirty. I
once watched the movie titled prison break and the
prison that I saw in that movie is better than our
hostels in Ife.”

A 400 level student of Psychology, Mr Amos Ajileye
said he has spent 4 years on the campus, and that
he has never witnessed renovation of the hostels
since he was admitted to OAU “I have spent 4
years in this university and I have never seen any
renovation on our hostels, except the cleaners that
usually come to sweep the floor and they don’t
come during weekends. This is too bad and we
want the authority to renovate the hostels,” he said.
Another 300 level student of Religious Studies, Mr
Ifedapo Akinola also lamented the rot in the
infrastructural facilities.

According to him, “There is serious infrastructural
decay in our hostels. The condition of our toilets
and the tank where we are fetching water is too
bad. A section of the hostel collapsed recently, and
that is the place where we wash and bath. No one
was there when it collapsed. It would have killed
some of us if any of us had been present . Should
the management wait until we are killed before they
would repair our hostel? It is better they do the
repairs now.”

Mr Nwanegwo Uzor Amaka, a 400 level Civil
Engineering student, also said their hostels could be
mistaken for prison yards. Nwanegwo said
“Prisoners are better than the condition here. I stay
in block 5.We have no toilet and more than 10
students stay in a room meant for two students.
We have 10 rooms on the block making 100
students in that block. Yet, there is no toilet for us.
We bath outside because the condition of our
bathroom is very bad.”

At the female hostel, the situation was similar to
that of the male students hostels, in terms of
infrastructural decay, but the environment was not
too dirty. The female students were taking care of
the surroundings of their hostels, unlike their male
counterparts who relied solely on the cleaners to
help them sweep the surrounding.

At Mozambique Hall, a 200 level student of Public
Administration, Miss Adetayo Adetorera Anna is the
hall chairperson ,and she was not happy about the
living conditions in the hostels. She said, “The
condition of our hostels is not pleasant. Our hostels
are overcrowded. Take for instance, 24 students
share one toilet. We fight to get water. We are
battling with bedbugs. In fact, it was our hall warden
that helped us to fumigate one of the rooms
recently, when the issue of bedbugs became
unbearable, and we had to go and report to the hall
management.”

At Moremi Hall of residence, Miss Babanumi
Oluwadamilola, a 300 level Law student also
expressed worry over the living condition in their
hostels. She was particular about the issue of toilets
and urged the authority of the university to act on
time and fix the infrastructures at the hostels. “Our
toilets are in very bad shape and as a matter of
fact, the hostels need repair. We are suffering
seriously. We are not enjoying electricity and other
facilities and it should not be so. Actually, the
cleaners are trying, but there is a little they can
clean on the rotten facilities,” Oluwadamilola said
.
A 500 level Chemical Engineering student, Mr.
Omotayo Akande is the President of OAU Student
Union and he is not oblivious of the horrible living
condition in the hostels. Akande is not relenting in
the struggle for the welfare of the students.
Speaking with Daily Trust, the Student Union
President said that there is need to renovate the
hostels and guard against overcrowding.
His words, “You can see the level of decay in our
overpopulated hostels on the campus, that is
supposedly the most beautiful campus in Africa.
Under normal circumstances , a room is supposed
to be occupied by the number of wardrobes you
find there, and there are 2 wardrobes in most of the
rooms. However, the rooms are allocated to 6
students officially, while squatters would also join
the legal occupants.

Students are complaining of bedbugs. There are no
good toilets and we are subjected to a condition that
is not favourable to learning. In fact, we are afraid
of an outbreak of diseases on this campus.”
“We have met the university authority and pleaded
with them to take our welfare serious, but they
haven’t done anything. I have spent five years on
this campus and they have never renovated any of
the hostels since I came to OAU. Imagine, OAU
hostels cannot boast of stable power supply and
potable water, yet, they said ours is the most
beautiful campus in Africa. As student Union
leaders, the students are harassing us, blaming us
for not confronting the management over this
issue, but we are helpless since the university
authority turned deaf ears to our cries,” Akande
lamented.

Reacting to the development, the Public Relation
Officer of the university, Mr Abiodun Olanrewaju
faulted the students’ claims as he blamed them for
abusing the facilities in their hostels. He said the
students overcrowded the hostels and
overstretched the facilities.
“Everything that the students told you is not true.
They caused the problem for themselves by
overcrowding the hostels more than the capacity of
the facilities in those buildings. In a situation where
the university authority allocates a room for only
four students, we will eventually realise that 12
students are living in that room and that puts
unnecessary pressure on the facilities. They
usually accommodate squatters in the rooms ,and it
would be difficult for the university authority to
chase out the squatters when the occupants of the
rooms are not complaining. The students should
stop blaming the university authority for the problem
they caused themselves. On the issue of
renovation, I can assure you that the university
authority usually renovates the hostels during long
vacations, and the students will meet the hostels
neat.But they would dirty it within a few weeks of
resumption. You know the students, if we allocate
dirty hostels to them, they would protest. So, the
hostels are usually neat at the beginning of the
session but our students are in the habit of
misusing the facilities in the hostels,” Olanrewaju
said.

Nigerians Are Building Fireproof, Bulletproof, And Eco-Friendly Homes With Plastic Bottles And Mud


These colorful homes are bulletproof, fireproof, and can withstand earthquakes. They also maintain a comfortable temperature, produce zero carbon emissions, and are powered by solar and methane gas from recycled waste.
Plastic is everywhere. In fact, the environment is so riddled with it, researchers predict that 99% of all birds on this planet will have plastic in their gut by the year 2050.
It is not enough to persuade people to use less, plastic needs to be repurposed and reused to be kept out of landfills. Despite informative
infographics , emotional statistics, and recycling programs, many nations – especially the United States – continue to toss plastics into landfills without much care.
This unfortunate reality has spurred many to get creative with the discarded byproducts of society. Some have used plastic waste to construct marvelous sculptures and raise awareness about the issue, while others are repurposing it entirely to construct eco-friendly homes.

As phys.org reports, the housing crisis has become so bad in Nigeria, nearly 16 million units are required to address the shortage. Because crafting traditional homes would be far too expensive for most, locals adopted the idea put forth by two NGOs and are now building plastic bottle homes.
The solution not only cuts costs for building a house, it is beneficial for the environment. Founded by Kaduna-based NGO Development Association for Renewable Energies (DARE), with help from London-based NGO Africa Community Trust, the project is solving two problems at once by addressing the homelessness issue and helping the environment. Not only will there be less plastic in landfills, the house is designed to produce zero carbon emissions .
In addition, it is completely powered by solar panels and methane gas from recycled human and animal waste. To create a two-bedroom bottle house, workers fill plastic bottles with sand and then hold them together using mud and cement. This forms a solid wall that is stronger than cinder blocks.
That’s not all: These colorful homes are bulletproof, fireproof and can withstand earthquakes. They can also hold a comfortable temperature year round. The buildings can be built to three stories, but no higher, due to the weight of the sand-filled bottles. And, of course, the magnificent diversity of recycled bottles give each house a unique and bright look. A two-bedroom house requires 14,000 bottles to complete. To put this into perspective, Nigeria throws away three million bottles every day. Clearly, there are plenty of bottles which can be repurposed to build every individual in their own abode.
At least Nigeria isn’t as wasteful as the United States, which discards 130 million bottles per day . That’s 47 billion bottles every year – nearly 80% of which end up in the landfill.

El Clásico Facts
• In the last nine league Clásicos, both sides have managed to score which makes it the second longest such sequence, after the two teams did so on 13 occasions between 1946 and 1952
• In the last seven Madrid-Barça fixtures in the league, the Catalans have gotten the better of the side from the capital with four wins, one draw and two defeats. If all competitions are considered, Barça again are on top with six wins, three draws and three defeats.
• Madrid and Barça have met in Week 12 of La Liga on seven occasions. The blaugranes have won the last three (2004, 2005 and 2009) and did not concede in any of those matches.
• Andrés Iniesta has made the most Clásico appearances of any Barça player currently in the squad, with 31 matches against Madrid in all competitions. The Barça player with the most appearances in the fixture is Xavi Hernandez who featured 42 times against Madrid with a record of 17 wins, 12 draws and 13 defeats.
• Rafa Benitez has faced Barça on 12 occasions, as manager of Valladolid, Extremadura, Valencia and Liverpool: seven wins, one draw and four losses. Lionel Messi is closing in for the most La Liga Clásico goals. In his 18 matches against Madrid, he has scored 14 times, the same number as Alfredo Di Stéfano. Also of significance is the fact that the Argentine has scored eight of those in the capital.
• Real Madrid have not lost in their last 22 league matches at home (19 wins and three draws).
• Barça have scored in their last 15 league matches on the road (41 goals with an average of 2.7 per game).
• The current top three scorers in La Liga belong to either Barça or Madrid. Neymar Jr. is top of the pack with eleven goals, Luis Suárez follows with nine while Cristiano Ronaldo has eight.

How have Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel
Messi fared in El Clasicos?
Messi has the much better record over his rival.

Projected lineups, El Clásico 2015: Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona
Will Messi and Benzema start? Will James?
Marcelo, Keylor Navas, Sergio Ramos and Benzema are all available, according to Benítez. Still, are they fit enough to start? Real Madrid need them, so Benítez will most likely take his chances and let them play in Real Madrid's most important game of the 2015/2016 season so far. Real Madrid: Keylor, Danilo, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Luka Modric, James, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema. Barcelona: Claudio Bravo , Jordi Alba , Jeremy Mathieu, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves; Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar It would be strange to see Messi on the bench even considering that he has been out for the last 2 months with a knee injury. All things considered, both teams appear to be healthy and ready to go, so neither Benítez nor Luis Enrique will be able to make any kind of excuse after the game. Expect a game played with a lot of intensity between these two rivals.

REAL MADRID V BARCELONA
PREVIEW: INIESTA TARGETS CLASICO
PERFECTION
By Chris Myson

The new Blaugrana skipper hopes to cap his
first Clasico with the armband with a perfect
performance and victory over their fierce rivals
Andres Iniesta says Barcelona will need to
produce a performance that is close to
perfection if they are to beat Real Madrid in the
Clasico.
Saturday's clash at the Santiago Bernabeu is
set up perfectly, with the sides first and second
in La Liga and hoping to have fully fit squads
available.
Sergio Ramos is expected to play through the
pain barrier with a shoulder problem for hosts
Madrid, who have recently welcomed back
Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and James
Rodriguez to fitness.
Barca have been without Lionel Messi with a
knee problem since September, but their
Argentine talisman looks increasingly likely to
be passed fit, as does Ivan Rakitic (calf).
Iniesta will captain his side against Madrid for
the first time and is targeting an away victory
that would move them six points clear of their
fierce rivals at the top of La Liga.
"These are very unpredictable games, two
teams with the kind of player who can change a
game at any moment," he said.
"If there is one thing we need to be clear about
it is ourselves. We have our idea of playing
football, we have our way of organising our play
and we shouldn't make any mistakes which
give them a chance.
"Let's just hope it is a great spectacle and that
we play a great game as that would be a big
step towards getting a good result. It is my first
Clasico as captain but there is no need to
motivate people for this game.

up against Real Madrid
"We have to play a game which is practically
perfect, as they can cause us damage too. We
have to play well to counter their game.
"But rather than thinking about what Real
Madrid do, we have to be clear that we have to
be the protagonists, dominate and take the
chances we get while minimising the mistakes
we make."
Madrid come into the game under pressure.
Rafael Benitez's performance as head coach
has come under scrutiny amid a slump in form
from star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has
only netted in four of his side's 11 league games
in 2015-16.
Defeat to Sevilla last time out was Madrid's first
in the league this season and the returning Bale
hopes he can make a positive impact in such a
crucial contest, as he did in the Copa del Rey
final between the sides in 2014.
He said to Bwin : "The goal against Barca in the
Copa del Rey is among my most favourite of my
career and it is one that will be etched in my
memory for a long time.
"My speed and strength make it hard for
defenders, so that is always a plus for us. I
have to keep giving my very best and training
hard in order to help the team win.
"We are on a good run of form and have only
lost one match so far, although there is room
for improvement. I hope we improve over the
course of the season and go on to win the title.
"I have been out with injuries for maybe six
weeks now, so I haven't played as much as I
would have liked but I feel strong and fit going
into this game."
The home side has won in three of the last five
league Clasicos, with Luis Suarez netting the
winner in a 2-1 win for Barca at Camp Nou in
the last meeting in March.

El clasico: forget the hype, dz is the biggest football on earth
