If you believe ASUU has been fighting for the interest of Nigerian students, then you are wrong.

Even when all their demands are met, they will find another hand twisting demands to outwit governments.

Majority of Lecturers have other businesses they do, some are just lecturing for the fun of it, so they have nothing at sake

Those are offers, demands haven't been met. If you take this as demands being met that means we will see another strike next year and another offer that will be made without implementation.

Story! ASUU currently boycott the meeting

Serious what's your source

La Liga president Javier Tebas says he is "ready" for the exit of Lionel Messi - while criticising Manchester City, a club he believes could sign him.

Messi submitted a transfer request in August at Barcelona - who he joined as a 13-year-old - but backed down after they refused to sanction his release.

The forward had fallen out with Josep Maria Bartomeu, who subsequently resigned as Barca president in October.

Tebas wants Messi to stay in Spain but feels La Liga would cope without him.

He argued that the competition had continued to thrive following Neymar's 2017 departure from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain, and Cristiano Ronaldo's 2018 move from Real Madrid to Juventus.

"We would prefer Messi to stay in La Liga but Ronaldo and Neymar left and we have not noticed any difference," Tebas said. "We are ready."

The Argentina international, 33, would be available on a free transfer at the end of this season.

Tebas indicated that Messi's likeliest Premier League destination, if he went to England, would be Etihad Stadium - although club sources have pointed out that no-one at City has ever spoken about signing Messi.

La Liga's president has repeatedly criticised City, having previously made numerous allegations about their structure, including accusing them of financial doping, before they were cleared of serious FFP breaches by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in July.

He aimed more criticism at them when he spoke on Tuesday.

Tebas said: "It seems the only club in Premier League that talks about registering Messi is Manchester City, who compete outside the rules. I am not the only one saying this.

"I am not too worried about them. I have criticised what they do so many times. Doing it one more time makes no difference. City is neither affected by Covid or pandemics or anything because they are financed differently and it is impossible to fight against that."

City opted not to respond to Tebas' comments, although it is understood they are wrestling with the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic - limiting manager Pep Guardiola to a net spend of £31m during the most recent transfer window.

'Barca not considering insolvency proceedings'
Tebas was speaking at the end of an hour-long presentation to outline the financial state of La Liga following the close of the transfer window on 5 October.

Of particular interest was the situation at Barcelona, who he said had reduced their budget by 43%. In July, the club revealed their debt had more than doubled from 217m euros (£194.5m) to 488m euros (£437.4m), amid annual losses of 97m euros (£86.9m).

One journalist questioned whether it was possible Barca might even have to go into administration, although Tebas rejected this.

"Barcelona are not considering insolvency proceedings," he said.

"Their debt might be slightly larger but they were perfectly solvent pre-Covid. But Covid has come along and taken away a lot of revenue. They are not so capable of repaying the debt, so their salary volume has to go down.

"That is the essential factor for most clubs. It is not because they were mismanaged earlier."

Barcelona are eighth in La Liga under new coach Ronald Koeman, having won three of their opening seven games.

Much of the problems at the club have been blamed on Bartomeu, who as he left the club in October, said he had signed them up to a European Super League.

This claim has received no backing from elsewhere, as Tebas pointed out.

"It was a clandestine league for the 10 minutes after Bartomeu said they had joined," he said.

"I feel sorry for Bartomeu. He said it but then no-one else said they were joining. This project is not viable financially for the clubs competing or the other clubs. It would really break the eco-system we have established."

Tebas said he expected transfer spending to remain low in January, but added that the financial limitations being put in place across Spain's top two divisions would make them healthier in the future.

Tebas said that, in reducing transfer spend by 66% to £392.6m, La Liga's clubs were being "much more responsible than the other leagues", citing the Premier League, whose clubs spent more than £1bn on new players.

Marcus Rashford has called on the government to reverse a decision not to provide free school meal vouchers during the summer, saying that "the system isn't built for families like mine to succeed".

The Manchester United and England forward has raised about £20m to supply three million meals to vulnerable people while working with charity FareShare UK during the coronavirus lockdown.

Campaigners have threatened to bring legal action against the government for not extending the food voucher scheme into the summer holidays.

In an emotional open letter to MPs drawing on his own experiences of relying on free school meals and food banks growing up, Rashford said his story is "all too familiar for families in England".

Speaking to BBC Breakfast about the letter, Rashford, 22, said: "It's written from the heart and it's about how my life was at the moment - the letter is to open up and let people understand the impact on families and to know I've done the right thing.

"What families are going through now, I've once had to go through that - and it's very difficult to find a way out. It's very important for me to help people who are struggling. Whether the outcome changes or doesn't change - that's why I wrote it."

'This is not about politics, it's about humanity'
In the letter, Rashford wrote: "My mum worked full-time, earning the minimum wage, to make sure we always had a good evening meal on the table, but it was not enough.

"The system was not built for families like mine to succeed, regardless of how hard my mum worked."

Rashford added his plea for the government to "make the U-turn and make protecting the lives of some of our most vulnerable a top priority" was "not about politics" but about "humanity".

He added that it was about "looking at ourselves in the mirror and feeling like we did everything we could to protect those who can't, for whatever reason or circumstance, protect themselves".

The Department for Education confirmed the scheme would not run during summer holidays: "As schools open more widely, and their kitchens reopen, we expect schools to make food parcels available for collection or delivery for any children that are eligible for free school meals who are not yet able to return to school. Where this is not possible, schools can continue to offer vouchers to eligible pupils.

The spokesperson also pointed to the new £63m local authority welfare assistance scheme to support the most vulnerable families, and its Holiday Activities and Food programme, which offers activities and free meals in the summer holidays.

Families claiming free school meals have been issued with either an electronic voucher or gift card - worth £15 per child, per week - to spend at supermarkets, while schools have been closed.
Rashford wrote: "Political affiliations aside, can we not all agree that no child should be going to be hungry?"

The United youth-team graduate, who is one of five children, added: "As a black man from a low-income family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, I could have been just another statistic.

"Instead, due to the selfless actions of my mum, my family, my neighbours, and my coaches, the only stats I'm associated with are goals, appearances and caps.

"I would be doing myself, my family and my community an injustice if I didn't stand here today with my voice and my platform and ask you for help."

Around 1.3m children in England are eligible for free school meals and a survey by the Food Foundation in May said that more than 200,000 children have had to skip meals because their family could not access enough food during lockdown.

"Ten years ago, I would have been one of those children, and you would never have heard my voice and seen my determination to become part of the solution," said Rashford.

"Food poverty in England is a pandemic that could span generations if we don't course correct now."

Rashford stated that the government's Universal Credit benefit system "is simply not a short-term solution" to the issue of food poverty, because "I am fully aware that the majority of families applying are experiencing five-week delays".

He is concerned that child poverty is "only going to get worse" when the government's furlough scheme ends.

Rashford added that with many children still not able to return to school and have more of their nutritional needs met "we're encouraging this cycle of hardship to continue".

Enoch07:
so u expect a black man to crowd himself with white people abi. anyways we know say Trump na anyhow man normally

Obama is equally white
He grew up with his white mom and white sister.

Dozis:
The only thing I have against Obama is the killing of Muammar Gaddafi.
Look at the mess in Libya now.

The mistake was that he never had a plan after Gadaffi same as Bush did with Iraq

If you support Trump Delegitimizing the Media and you speak against all the Arrest Buhari has done to Journalists. You are a big hypocrite.
Because the Freedom of the Press is actually essential to Democracy.
Trump is one of the Worst lyers in the world.

An Ethiopian soldier shot a man dead in front of several people after his phone rang during a public meeting, Amnesty International says.

It is one of many incidents the rights watchdog recorded from a security crackdown in Oromia regional state at the end of 2018 and 2019.

This was the year that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed won the Nobel Peace Prize.

He has been praised for his reforms, but they may have lifted a lid on ethnic tensions.

The BBC has tried to contact the authorities to respond to the report but they have not reacted.
What else does Amnesty say?
It says it has found evidence of the extrajudicial killings of 39 people in Oromia, including Mr Ariti.

Through witness testimony, it details how three other victims were taken out of police cells and shot dead.

In late December 2018 soldiers killed 13 people in the town of Finchawa in what Amnesty International describes as indiscriminate shooting.

The security forces are also accused of rounding up thousands of people they believed were supporters of the OLA.

The OLA is a breakaway faction of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), a former separatist rebel group which laid down arms following peace talks with Mr Abiy.

What is the Oromo issue?
The Oromos, despite being Ethiopia's largest ethnic group, had long complained that they were marginalised from political and economic power.

A wave of protests in Oromia preceded the appointment of Mr Abiy - who is Oromo himself - as prime minister in April 2018.

He introduced a number of reforms, including recognising the OLF, that helped the country move away from its more oppressive past.

But many in the state continued to feel excluded and disquiet did not go away. Protests sprang up and opposition groups began to gain support.

In general, Mr Abiy has said he wants to foster a sense of national unity in the face of ethnic divisions, but also wants to celebrate that diversity.

His efforts to walk this tight-rope have created difficulties.

What are the other accusations?
The report also highlights the alleged role of security forces in inter-communal violence in January 2019 in Amhara state, north-west Ethiopia.

It says that at least 130 people were killed in fighting between the Amhara and Qimant communities after local militias were deployed against the Qimant.

Federal soldiers, who were stationed nearby, did not intervene, Amnesty International alleges.

Has there been any official comment?
The authorities have not issued a formal response.

Daniel Bekele, who leads the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, which is a statutory body, told the UK's Guardian newspaper that Amnesty International's report should be taken seriously but "it is also important to understand the complex nature of the security operations where armed groups are seriously destabilising the affected areas".

Mr Daniel used to work for Human Rights Watch and Action Aid and spent two years in prison for his own activism.

Is this part of a trend?
The accusations come as a growing number of voices express concern that old habits of state-sanctioned violence might be creeping back in, reports the BBC's Kalkidan Yibeltal in the capital, Addis Ababa.

Although ethnic related violence seems to have relatively subsided in 2020, it remains one of the key challenges facing Mr Abiy's administration, our correspondent adds.

Political tensions were increasing ahead of elections scheduled for August and their indefinite postponement, because of coronavirus, has not helped matters.

Authoritarian

Trump is losing support of Christian's due to his corona virus response so this is widely political if you ask me

GuestLog:
Nice. Satanic globalists and their plans for humanity will fail. The pandemic was released to destabilise Trump's administration and regain power & control. Many secrets will be exposed when OBAMAGATE begins.

Meanwhile, here is a viral video of Obamagate you need to see before it's taken down!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edhc3b5JkDY

You don't even know what Obamagate is about and why Trump is doing it

emusmithyy:
Trump is a Christian.

He believes in God. It's hard to find a president who speaks for God as he is.

I believe he's there because God wanted him there.

Someone that grabs women by the pussy
Eat money from charity
He there because Russia wants him to be there

Game of Thrones actor Hafthor Bjornsson has set a world deadlifting record by lifting 501 kg (1,104 lbs).

Bjornsson, a powerlifter who portrayed Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in the HBO series, broke the record at his gym in his native Iceland.

He lifted the barbell for two seconds, before dropping the weights and roaring in delight.

The event was streamed by sports broadcaster ESPN and filmed for Bjornsson's YouTube channel.

Bjornsson, who is 2.05m tall (6ft 9in), previously won the World's Strongest Man competition in 2018.


Speaking in a "behind-the-scenes" video posted on YouTube, Bjornsson said: "I'm extremely proud, you know. I'm extremely happy.

"It's great - there's nothing better than proving people wrong. So many people didn't believe in me, so many people that said, '501 kg is never going to go up'... But I also had a lot of support."

He added: "I feel healthy, I feel good. I'm just absolutely speechless, even though I'm talking a lot now. But I'm excited, super excited - this is huge for me."

The record was previously held by Eddie Hall, a British man who in 2016 became the first man to lift 500 kg.

chewwie:
1. Economy was shit under Obama. Trump's tax cuts and deregulations aided small businesses.
2. A top military general lamented to Trump after his elections that the military has no ammunitions and that's why they haven't been able to stand against Iran or China or North Korea. Why didn't Obama's military end Isis?
3. Which quid pro quo? The one that Biden did?

U are deluded guy
I don taya m out

pseudaria:
I watch CNN and I can categorically say everything you just wrote here were gotten from CNN especially Jake tapper and Anderson Cooper who have been dishing out this narrative for weeks although they've been debunked but people like you still believe those crap. That's why Fake news needs to be stopped

I don't watch CNN my Gee

chewwie:

chewwie:
1. Trump never called the virus a hoax, he said the dems trying to pin it on him as they do with everything is a hoax. Did you know that they've set up a committee to investigate Trump's reaction to the virus?
2. Of course Obama has a share of the blame. He didn't restock America's medical stockpiles after Ebola.
3. Between October and February when the virus first started, what were the Democrats doing? They were busy impeaching him.
4. Trump did listen to the briefings, that was why he imposed a travel ban as early as June and your precious Democrats called him a racist. CNN, NYT, Pelosi, AOC, etc. were telling people to eat at Chinese restaurants, hug any Chinese they see.

He did so man and so did Fox news
Trump has been President 4 3 years
They were trying to Impeach him 4 a Crime he commited

Frezhkid10:

He could have acted

PervertProphet:
Even the liberals/Democrats are steadily pushing in to own Fox completely. Through Disney, they bought about $71 Billion Dollars stake in Fox. If they are finally able to conquer Fox. The liberals/Democrats would totally have 100% US Media in their control to push whatever narrative they deem fit against anyone that they hate just like they do with Trump 24/7 today.

� Disney bought 21th Century Fox not they have nothing to do with FOx new or any plans for FOX COPERATIONS
YOU SOUND LIKE A WHITE RACIST PRICK

odinga1of:
Beer parlour fake news from Benue State or Zamfara State.

Same President Trump called the virus a "Chinese Virus" y'all blasted him for being a racist.

Why didn't your PMB closed bother early?

Why did Abba Kyari, Atiku sons and PMB daughters flew into the country late?

������ Believe what you want to. Trump said it with his own mouth that the virus is just a flu, b4 that during his campaign when it wasn't yet in the US he called it the "hoax"

Dpharisee:
GEJ handled Ebola better than Obama, give him and Nigerian Doctors some credit on Ebola please

Do you know Obama created a pandemic emergency team and provided steps for the prevention of pandemics guess who dissolved everything innocent Mr Trump

PervertProphet:
I am not a republican nor a democrat.

I am only setting the record straight.

Plus Fox News was not created today so there you are wrong.

It was created by a Conservative in 1996.

You know the problem with most of you. You guys don't understand the values that Conservatism and the liberals represent differently.

When you understand that first looking at it through the lens of the Americans. You will come to understand why the two sides differ differently.

I will suggest you carry out a simple research on this first and later come back to the conversation.
