I didnt watch the Algeria match, Argentina are playing right now and I still am finding it hard to watch. I didnt place any bet. And right now I hate football. The last time I felt this way was 2008 champs league final. Is anyone feeling the same way

I cant get over the super eagle loss to France. I have lost appetite upon realising that we are out. I have eaten just small dodo and egg since the end of the match, my girl had to force it down my throat. I have lost interest in the world cup.

My neighbour is a tanker driver, he has narrated his ordeals with me several times. I myself have been through that road a couple of times. Its such a pityable bysmal pysmal and regrettably lugrubrious. Read this article on the state of roads in Lagos: http://www..com/lagos-roads-bad-roads-bad-network-long-queues/

I go for Uruguay.

Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel scored on his 300th appearance for Chelsea as they defeated Derby County 2-0 at the Pride Park Stadium in a third round English FA Cup game.

Mikel was given the captainship handband by Essien who was subtituted in the second half

After an unimpressive first half display, the Nigerian headed home from six yards off Willian’s whipped free-kick to break the deadlock in the 66th minutes of the with only his fourth Blues goal.

Mikel got the starter’s shirt despite Jose Mourinho’s changes to the squad that won Southampton 3-0 on New Year Day.

Even though it was another more prolific African Samuel Eto’o who was expected to deliver the goals for the Blues, Chelsea’s curtain raiser came off the boots of the unlikely Mikel.

Oscar then doubled Chelsea’s lead four minutes later with a powerful strike from the edge of the penalty area that Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant was unable to keep out.

Mikel had earlier broken his 261-game goal drought in the English Premier League in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge on September 21, 2013.

Chelsea will now face Stoke City in the fourth round of the oldest knock-out competition in English football history.

BOLD STEP?

According to a report by PM News, a graduate of Architecture, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ogunsona Daniel Adekunle Adebambo (pictured above) committed suicide by hanging himself in an uncompleted storey building yesterday January 1st 2014.

According to the report, the body of the 30 year old man was found around 1 a.m. yesterday dangling from a rope tied to the hook of a fan in an uncompleted storey building at 1, Alice Ogunsona Street, Hilltop Estate, Eruwen, Ikorodu. His body was found by his younger brother after reading the suicide not he wrote and left at their home. Continue...


The deceased allegedly killed himself because his girlfriend’s father refused to allow him marry his daughter. According to the story, the girlfriend's father, who is from Ondo state, said Bambo couldn't marry his daughter because he's from Ijebu, Ogun State. Some people do not believe that's the reason he killed himself.

A resident of the Hilltop Estate who said he participated in bringing down Adebambo’s body from the ceiling, recalled that he was dead and stiff when they brought him down. "When the family raised an alarm and we came here, he was already foaming in his mouth and his hand was clenched in a fist. This signified that he struggled till he died,” he said.

OP, dont do it. My reason: YOU ARE CONFUSED.

A daughter of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, Iyetade Soyinka, has died at age 48.

She died at the University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital where she was being treated for an undisclosed ailment.

Africanspotlight was able to reach a family member of the professor who confirmed the sad news on phone.

According to a statement signed by Jahman Anikulapo, an aide to Mr. Soyinka, the late Iyetade Soyinka was a student at the Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before she studied Medicine at the University of Ibadan.

The deceased was described as “affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious,” adding that she “struggled with her health in recent years.” Despite her health woes, the late Iyetade Soyinka “greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children.”

The statement, which was issued on behalf of the deceased’s family, revealed that Ms. Soyinka “took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan.

“Iyetade leaves behind two children, both parents, numerous siblings, nieces and nephews.”

No funeral arrangements were announced in the statement.

A woman named Clara Gantt who had been waiting for her husband, Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Gantt since he left for the Korean War in 1950, finally found out he was dead after 63 years of waiting. Before he went to war, he told his young wife to remarry if he didn’t return. Clara Gantt told him she wouldn’t. She’d wait for him. And she did, for 63 years.On Friday, his remains, in a flag draped coffin, were delivered back to Los Angeles with full military escort.Clara, now 94, stood from her wheelchair, tears streaming. The pain of her loss was clearly etched in her face.

“I told him I missed him so much, And I expect him to come home and he didn’t,”

Sgt. Gantt had served in World War II and remained in the Army after that conflict, going to Korean as a field medic.Clara last heard from him just before Christmas, 1950. He was taken prisoner shortly after that final letter.Over the years, Clara was active in an organization made up of the families of MIA veterans — there are 8,000 still from the Korean War — and she often traveled to Washington, D.C. to hear updates from government officials.

She never even dated anyone else. She wasn’t going to “be caught” with another man while she was waiting for her husband, Clara said. She also covered her bedroom wall with military memorabilia and her husband’s medals.

Clara learned in October that her husband’s remains had been found and verified. Officials believe he died in 1951.And on Friday, Joseph and Clara were reunited.

“I am very, very proud of him. He was a wonderful husband, an understanding man,” she told reporters at LAX. “I always did love my husband, we was two of one kind, we loved each other. And that made our marriage complete.”

Thanks everyone for your contribution. Having read and thoroughly diagnosed your thoughts, I decided to call C and I told him to forget about the babe for the sake of friendship and also to save their growing business. He however declined my advice and seem to want to go ahead. There is nothing I can do again at this point than to allow him hang himself. Well, I might still try to persuade him more.

A cobbler who lives in Ikotun area of Lagos reportedly threw away his newly born baby boy in a canal. He has two girls from the same wife and this baby happens to be his first son.

As at yesterday, he was complaining seriously of how the baby has made him broke. The wife had come to his workshop to empty his pocket leaving him with nothing after a long hard day.

Reports getting to us indicates that the cobbler, his wife and 2 children lives in abject penury. He could neither afford to send them to school nor complete their three meals per day. He was left fraustrated and was in tears when he got the news that his wife had delivered a baby boy. His tears were not of joy but of anguish and angst.

However, people in the neighbourhood are strongly against his action. Some of them said they could have offered to help if he had confided in them. Many of them in tears as they narrate the story to us.

(Channels Tv)-The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its over five months old strike.

ASUU Chairman, University of Lagos Chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka told Channels Television that the union decided to suspend the strike after a marathon meeting held in Minna, Niger State capital on Monday.

In attendance at the meeting, which ran till late in the evening, were all the ASUU branch chairmen and secretaries, the national executive members of the body, coordinators and past leaders, including 56 members from 52 universities.

Dr. Ogbinaka said that, in line with procedures, the different chapters of ASUU would hold congress meetings on Wednesday to inform members and managements of the institutions of the latest development.

“We expect the students to resume and expect their members to go back to class immediately after the congress meeting and we expect the government to keep to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU),” Dr. Ogninaka stated.

He said that the union and the government would hold meetings in 2014 to look at gray areas that may arise and come to a common ground.

The Federal Government and ASUU had reached a compromise during a negotiation brokered by the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar on Wednesday, December 11, which led to the signing of the MoU.

Speaking to journalists after the agreement with the government on Wednesday, the National President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, said that the union would consult with its National Executive Council and would intimate Nigerians of its decision on the strike within one week, expressing optimism that the outcome of the consultation would be positive.

It was gathered that the MoU addressed all the resolutions that the leadership of the ASUU and the Federal Government agreed to in their 13-hour meeting with President Jonathan on November 4, as well as their widely criticised fresh demands.

ASUU’s demands

ASUU’s demands include the upward review of the retirement age for professors from 65 to 70; adequate funding to revitalise the university system; progressive increase of budgetary allocations to the education sector by 26%; transfer of Federal Government property to universities; setting up of research and development units by the companies; and renegotiation of the signed agreement.

The fresh demands include a non-victimisation clause, provision and deposit of N200 billion infrastructure revitalisation funds in an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) details of disbursement of the funds and payment of salary arrears which has accrued to the teachers during the strike.

The Wednesday agreement between the two which is reportedly due for renegotiation in 2014 was reached barely 24 hours after the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe presented a proof of payment of N200 billion into an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Nigeria’s university lecturers have been on strike since July 1, 2013 to demand full implementation of the 2009 agreement it reached with the Federal Government on conditions of service for university lecturers, and funding of infrastructural development in Nigerian universities.
