There was a minute's applause before Manchester United's game
with Newcastle United on Saturday as the English Premier League honoured former South African president Nelson Mandela, who died on Thursday.

Prior to kick-off, the players from both sides and the match officials stood around the centre circle at Old Trafford to applaud, with the crowd of around 75,000 spectators following suit.

Similar tributes are planned for the remaining six Premier League
matches on Saturday, as well as fixtures in Scotland, the English lower leagues and the FA Cup.

Moreover, banners honouring Mandela were held aloft during Celtic's Scottish Premiership game at Motherwell on Friday, which was also preceded by a minute's applause.

The Scottish Professional Football League stated: "We recommend that a minute of applause is held before all SPFL fixtures this weekend as a mark of respect for and to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela."

According to the available information, the tributes to the great South African hero will also be paid at rugby union matches in the European Cup and European Challenge Cup taking place in the United Kingdom this weekend.

"He is now resting… he is now at peace," said South African
President Jacob Zuma about the death of Nelson Mandela, the
towering moral giant of the 20th and 21st centuries, who has died
aged 50.

"Our nation has lost its greatest son." As soon as the news about his death started spreading in the media and via social networks, thousands of tributes emerged.

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan also mourns the loss of one of history's 'greatest liberators' in his condolence message to South Africa.

"Mandela will always be remembered and honoured by all mankind as one of its greatest liberators, a wise, courageous and compassionate leader, and an icon of true democracy," Jonathan said, describing the former South African president as a "source of inspiration to the oppressed peoples all over the world."

His passing will "create a huge vacuum that will be difficult to fill in our continent," Mr. President concluded.

Meanwhile, first black president of the United States of America
Barack Obama, too, decried the loss of the "profoundly good" man who "took history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice."

President Obama remembers Nelson Mandela: "A man who took
history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe
towards justice."

She went as far as attaching
screenshots of their conversation.

National President, ASUU, Nasir Issa-Faggae

More units of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, including the University of Ibadan and Ahmadu Bello University chapters, have voted for the suspension of the strike by the union during chapter congresses held nationwide.

The union met with a Federal Government team led by President Goodluck Jonathan last Tuesday in Abuja.
Government has promised to inject N220bn yearly into the public universities for the next five years.

The ASUU leadership, after briefing the zonal coordinators on the offer,had directed the local branches to organise congress meetings between Friday last week and Tuesday (today).
This is to enable all the lecturers to make input into the action the union would take after its NEC meeting on Thursday.

As at press time on Monday, 20 of the 28 chapters that had concluded their meetings supported the suspension of the strike, while the remaining eight preferred that the varsity teachers pressed on with the strike.
The teachers in the University of Abuja, for instance, supported the
suspension of the strike but listed conditions that must be met by the Federal Government.

A source at the meeting on Monday said the congress demanded that the withheld three months salaries of the lecturers must be paid.
“Members also demanded for commitment on funding. We also want assurance from government that no lecturer will be victimised on the account of participating in the strike.
We also asked that the template for sharing the earned allowance should be prepared within the next two weeks,” the source added.

The conditions were the same for Nasarawa State University, which
voted for continuation of the strike.
Chairman of ASUU in the school, Dr. Theophilus Lagi, told our
correspondent after the congress that as far as his members were
concerned the strike should continue.

He said, “There are certain grey areas that must be cleared. The ‘no work no pay’ policy must be sorted out. Government must pay lecturers the arrears.
“We also need evidence that the N200bn that government promised to release this year is in the central bank.
We are not going to suspend the
strike until the money is there and available for sourcing. That is the
position of the congress.

“Nobody trusts government. They have been making promises since
2009 and nothing has been implemented except the N30bn earned allowances.
“Secondly, the 2009 agreement is due for review; nothing has been said about that. Lecturers have been denied salary for three months, those monies must be paid.”

Among the universities that supported that the strike be called off are Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; Federal University of Technology, Minna; University of Lagos; University of Ibadan; University of Calabar; University of Port-Harcourt; Federal University of Technology, Akure; Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto; and Ekiti State University.

The list also include the Federal University of Technology, Owerri; Delta State University; Bayero University Kano; Imo State University; Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta; and Olabisi Onabanjo University, among others.

On the other hand, majority of lecturers at the University of Benin; and University of Jos wanted the strike to continue.
However, in the Bauchi zone of the union, five universities voted for continuation of the state strike, while the remaining three threw their weight against the continuation of the strike.

Tragedy struck in Osogbo, Osun State capital, in the early hours of
Wednesday when a 75-year old grandfather, Pa Adisa Hassan, a resident of Oke-Ayepe, Onward Estate in Osogbo Local Government Area of the state committed suicide inside his house.

His neighbours and other residents in the area, where the incident occurred, wore a mournful look, while others who could not control their
emotions wailed uncontrollably over the death of the old man.

Nigerian Tribune reliably gathered that Pa Hassan, popularly known as “Baba Tawa” decided to take his life following the seizure of two out of his three commercial buses some days before the incident by Vehicles Inspection Officials (VIO).

Credible sources informed the Nigerian Tribune that Pa Hassan, who operated three buses for his inter-city transport business, was devastated and psychologically disturbed, hence he decided to hang himself in a store room around 5.00am on Wednesday.

According to some witnesses’ account, “Pa Hassan had woken up alongside his family members around 5.00am in order to observe their usual morning prayer (Subri) but changed his mind on his way to the
mosque situated directly opposite his house and went into his store room and took his life.”

COMMUTERS at the Ojodu/Berger terminal of LAGBUS, on Friday, took to their heels in panic after a bus which had just been driven into the station suddenly burst into flames.

A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos said that the commuters fled in different directions when flames erupted under the front wheels of the bus with registration no: XP 962 AKD.

The driver, simply identified as Amuda, and other officials of the LAGBUS Asset Management Company, operators of the buses, however, were able to promptly bring the fire under control.
A commuter, Mr Oyewole Kayode, told NAN that somce friction on the brake linings might have caused the fire.

Kayode, who claimed to be a technician, lauded the officials for being able to put out the fire without any causality.
He described the situation as unfortunate, but added that it could have happened to anyone.
Some other commuters, however, urged the company to increase the number of buses on its fleet to avoid long waits by passengers at the Berger – CMS/Lagos terminal.

A senior official of LAGBUS, who refused to identify himself, however, declined to comment on the issue.

“Madam, there is no problem,” he said.

A 34-year-old man, identified simply as Sunday, is now cooling his feet in one of the cells of Ekiti State police command headquarters in Ado Ekiti,
after he was arrested for alleged causing the death of a 13-year-old girl he was said to have defiled.

Police told newsmen in Ado Ekiti on Friday that Sunday allegedly
committed the offence in Eyio-Ekiti community in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local
Government Area of the state on Monday, October 28.

A source in Eyio community told newsmen that Sunday and the parents of the late girl were labourers in the same farm.
The source added that a search party was raised for the girl and it
searched for three days before her decomposing body was found in a
cocoa plantation, adding that the suspect was in charge of the cocoa
plantation while the victim’s parents were in charge of palm tree plantation.

He alleged that Sunday and the victim went to the farm on the fateful day and further alleged that he tricked the girl to a far corner of the cocoa plantation and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.

The source, who said the girl must have died due to excessive bleeding,also revealed that Sunday must have covered the victim’s mouth with a
wrapper, thereby suffocating her to death.

The source said, “When the parents of the girl could not find their child till 8.00 p.m. on Monday, the second day, the Eyio-in-Council held a meeting
and insisted that the girl must be found at all cost, so members of the O’odua Peoples Congress mobilised into the bush and combed everywhere.

“But when they could not find her, they later contacted the police. The police now joined the search party. When they got to a portion in the farm, the police perceived an odour and they traced the spot and found her body with blood from her private part.”

He said Sunday was immediately arrested by the OPC being the only
person in the farm that day and, upon interrogation, he was said to have confessed to committing the crime before being handed over to the police.

According to the Public Relations Officer of Ekiti command, Mr. Victor
Babayemi, the 34-year old suspect, who is a native of Cross River State,had tricked the girl, whose parents were said to be of Urhobo extraction in Delta State, and allegedly raped her to death.

Babayemi announced that the body of the deceased rape victim had been deposited at the mortuary of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).
He said the suspect was being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department in the command headquarters

THE Federal Government, on Thursday, disclosed plans to revisit the posting policy of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), to see how serving corps members would be retained in their places of primary assignments, instead of being used as cheap labour.

This was disclosed in Abuja by the chairman of the governing board of the NYSC, Chief Gordon Bozimo, during a visit to the Minister of Sports and the Supervising Minister of Youth Development, Bolaji Abdulahi.

According to him, the board was working towards empowering youths to be self-reliant after service year, through the skills acquisition programmes.
Chief Bozimo said since the inauguration of the board, it had held series of meetings to look into the problems confronting the NYSC.

He said the board would also work closely with stakeholders in the agriculture sector to improve the economy of the country.
“Essentially, what we try to do is to find out the status and see how we can add value, if there could be changes in the routine of how things are done, so that the NYSC can once again be something to look forward to by the youth,” he said.

Responding, Abdulahi lauded efforts of the council to reposition the corps, adding that the Federal Government would continually assist the board members in their quest to re-position the NYSC.

The Senate, on Thursday, unanimously agreed that the maximum punishment should be meted out to a police corporal, Anthony Onoja, for allegedly sexually assaulting a two-year-old girl.

This was as it also urged the Inspector General of Police, Alhaji
Mohammed Abubakar, to commence prosecution of the police officer who was said to have committed the offence at Mararaba in Nasarawa
State about two weeks ago.

The upper legislative chamber, in its resolution, also condemned the act in its entirety and consequently, mandated its committee on Police Affairs
to investigate the matter and report back within one week.

The Senate resolution followed a motion, “Cruelty to Infants”, moved by Senator helen Esuene.
She said Nigeria had been witnessing various acts of cruelty to babies,including kidnapping, abuse and outright sales as cheap commodities.

Esuene recalled that the recent incident was a case of criminality meted to a two-year-old girl, Chinwendu Onwudiwe, by a man who was supposed to up-hold the law.
According to her, the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), on October 20, reported the alleged sexual assault on the two-year-old by a neighbour who, incidentally, is a police officer.

She said even though the matter was immediately reported to the Police,the case was yet to be charged to court.
“Sections 31 and 32 of the Child’s Right Act make this case a criminal
offence which attracts life imprisonment or 14 years jail term, depending on the nature of abuse.

“This is not the first time it has been reported in this hallowed chamber of a police officer sexually abusing an infant girl.
“The Senate should note the unacceptable situation of rape offenders often going unpunished.

“There is the need to arrest this impunity and weed out bad eggs and protect the image of the Nigeria Police.
“The Senate should note that, because of the innocence of our minors,they are very vulnerable to different forms of abuse by unscrupuluos persons”, she said.

Senators, who took to the floor to speak after Esuene, roundly
condemned the rape incident, saying it bothered on insanity, sheer wickedness and for ritual purposes.

Deputy Senate Leader, Abdul Ningi, dismissed the incident as a mental case, saying its un-African and inhuman.
He admonished that the country returns to its history and core moral values, which emphasised human dignity.

“What this motion informs us is that as long as we don’t go back to history, as long as we don’t go back to humanity and begin to appreciate our culture and history as Africans, some of these anomalies would continue to happen”, he said.

Senator Chris Anyanwu was of the opinion that, as a way of curbing the social malaise, there should be a system that would protect the identity of people who lodge reports and complaints of rape incidents.
“I am not surprised by this incident. They are bound to continue; things are going bad and we are not doing anything.”

Yesterday, new details of last week's Boko Haram attacks on
Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, emerged and it was revealed
that no fewer than 128 people were killed.
Reports by Associated Press (AP) have made it known that 23 soldiers,
eight policemen and 95 insurgents were killed in the five-hour long battle
between the Islamic extremists and troops.
These details were compiled through the use of Military and Hospital
reports.
Although, no exact figure was given on the number of casualties, reports
showed that militants had a strong hand and caught troops by surprise.
The attack came after a lull and almost six months after the federal
government imposed a state of emergency in Yobe along with Borno
and Adamawa states.

THE interim deputy national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has said based on the ongoing talks with the Baraje-led New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), the G7 governors
of PDP may soon join APC.

el-Rufai, speaking with newsmen on his arrival at the Mallam Aminu
Kano International Airport, Kano, said the rationale behind his visit was to interact with stakeholders, so as to map out strategies ahead the 2015 general election.

When asked if the consideration of the factional PDP members would not undermine the manifesto of APC and its criticism of the leadership style of the PDP-led Federal Government, the former Minister of Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) insisted that there were some good elements
among PDP members who were already tired of the present situation in the country.

“It is well known that not all PDP members are bad. Going by the way the new PDP members were going, it is clear that there are still some members of PDP that are not happy with the way President Goodluck Jonathan is running the country.

“Therefore, if these people now regard themselves as new PDP and were confronting their party, it is an indication that there are still a few people within the party that believe in change.
“Based on this and the principle they stand for, they are welcome to join the APC, in order to effect the change the generality of people are yearning for and it is only the APC that is capable of bringing the change,” he said.

He assured that with the political antecedents of APC leaders, the party would not disappoint Nigerians in its advocacy for good governance.
Kano State governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, had, during the Hausa service of Vision FM Radio, in Abuja, on Sunday, said himself and other aggrieved governors in the PDP were open to four options in their ongoing battle with the Bamanga Tukur-led party.

The governor said one of the options was to defect to the mega
opposition party, APC.
Other options, according to him, included finalising the ongoing
reconciliation efforts by President Jonathan; aligning forces with an
unpopular party; or floating a new political party.

The governor lamented what he described as the lack of will to address the group’s grievances by both the party leadership and the president.
“None of all that we demanded from the party and government, which we see as the way forward for the party, was fulfilled. Therefore, it is
surprising to see a party that is toying with its warfront commanders.

“We don’t want to leave the party. But if leaving PDP is what will only save our states and people, we will leave it. As such, we call on people to support us on that, because our concern is to ward off anything that will harm our people,” he added.

If you’ve been swimming
circles around the dating pool with no luck, chances are you’re
getting bored of going from one bad date to another. If that’s the
case we’re here to help.

We put together some simple tips for making dating fun again. So before you lose your faith in love for good, check out our tips for getting back into the excitement of dating.

1. LET GO OF EXPECTATIONS

Once you’ve been on enough dates, you start to get bored of the whole process and then every dinner, movie or picnic in the park
becomes a breeding ground for expectations. You start hoping
every guy you meet will be the one.
But going into a date with
any kind of expectation is always risky and could set you up for
disappointment. The more you go in with an open mind and avoid
any preconceived notions about how you may or may not feel,
the better the date will go.

2. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Since there are only so many movies you can see and so many
restaurants you can go to before they all seem the same, one of
the best ways to bust dating boredom is to do something non-
traditional.
First dates especially can be pretty nerve wracking so doing something different to help take the pressure off.

Here are some ideas to think about:

3. TAKE THE LEAD

You might have more fun on your next few dates if you take
more of an active role in making sure the evening goes well.
For example, if you’re at a restaurant where the service is awful and the food sucks, suggest skipping dessert and heading to your favorite bar for a nightcap, or if you can’t stand the thought of
seeing the movie he suggested, tell him and offer an alternate.

Just going with the flow can be fine, but when you see an
opportunity for improvement, you shouldn’t be afraid to point it
out.

4. DO SOMETHING ACTIVE

Never mind sitting in a movie theatre – why not work up a
sweat? OK, sweating on a first date might not be everyone’s cup
of tea, but doing something that gets your endorphins flowing can
be a great way to spend an afternoon with a new guy.

Play catch in the park, head to a rock climbing gym for a lesson, or pack a Frisbee with your picnic so you can toss it around post-meal.
Getting up and doing something active will help conversation flow,
plus you’re both likely to have more fun.

Over 2,000 workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria,
PHCN, embarked on a protest Monday, over the delay in payment of the severance benefits to about 55 per cent of electricity
workers.

The workers, under the aegis of the National Union of Electrical
Employees, NUEE, staged the protest at the Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies and threatened to commence indefinite strike on November 1.

The workers locked the gates to the two offices and prevented people from entering the premises.

"The reports reaching the union is that majority of banks cannot give
financial backing to the schedule sent to them by the Federal
Government.

This means that government does not have money,'' Adeleke Ibrahim, the Chairman of Lagos Chapter of NUEE, who led the protest, told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.

The union official said that if the workers' entitlements were not paid by the end of October, the entire workforce of PHCN in all the 36 states will embark on indefinite strike. Mr Ibrahim said the union was not against
privatisation of the company.

"But government should pay all workers' entitlements before the new owners will commence operation," he said.
He appealed to government to ensure that all the agreements it signed with the workers were met to avert the strike.

Mr Ibrahim said that some of the issues in contention included non-
payment of retirement savings to pension fund administrators and non-remittance of dues of two per cent deducted from workers' salaries to the unions.

Others are non-payment of benefits of retirees who disengaged in 2011 and non-regularisation of service of some casual workers.

Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State, says Gov. Sullivan Chime, has placed her under house arrest, and has cried out for assistance to human
rights bodies to rescue her.
In a letter dripping with pain and suffering, Mrs. Chime (pictured above with Governor Chime) disclosed that she married Mr. Chime in Oct. 2008
but that she has been unable to share the matrimonial bed with him for over four years. Describing her desperate situation, she said that even President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan have intervened with her husband without success.

“My father is late, my Mum and few of my siblings are confused and have done all kinds of prayers they know of, 3 of my siblings prefers me dead than to see me leave the Government house. He treats my Mum and my siblings bad,” she wrote.

The Enugu State First Lady said she has been introduced to two
psychiatrists whose names she gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who have prescribed “all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping me acute depressed and also drives me into hallucinations.”

The doctors, she noted, are scared of her husband the Governor, to
whom nobody can tell the truth.
According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu state (Callistus Onaga), and top priests have come to intervene, as have the President and the First Lady of the nation, without success.

Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor Chime has ordered her to leave with her four-year old son whom she conceived before their wedding.
However, the governor, according to her, later threatened to
disown the boy should she leave with him.

“He has told everyone he can reach that there is no marriage between us that I can leave if I wish to but whenever I plan to leave he instructs
them to lock me in. I have told him through Sms that I will leave my son behind and leave alone but still he instructed his securities to lock me inside the house.”

Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost touch with the real world and all that makes her beautiful because of the side effects of the drugs she is taking, stressing that she is under house arrest for committing no crime.

Of the situation in Government House, she said, “He does not take care of me personally, the government gives me allowance to run the house and that's where I save little from to take care of my elf, my Mum and few of my siblings,” she said in the letter.
He shut me out of his life years ago; I don't have access to his apartment. The problem is enormous; I don't know where to start to explain from.”

She said that even the security detail in the lodge has resorted to
praying for her, while the few that can be bought with money are taking advantage of the situation.
“Police and SS men have been instructed by Br Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place for a long time now against my wish [but] it is my wish to leave these premises,” she said, begging, “Please assist me to reach to
the human rights and say to them to please come hastily and release
me.”

Four security operatives have been killed in an attack by members of the outlawed Boko Haram group on a military checkpoint at Bama-Banki Junction road, close to the Nigerian border with
Cameroon.

According to reports, after killing four persons said to be security
operatives, the sect members zoomed off in their patrol vehicle,
and also made away with their arms and ammunition.

Bama-Banki road is along the Firgi-Gwoza federal highway and
located around the notorious Sambisa Games Forest which links
Pulka town of Gwoza, a zone believed to be a cluster for many
Boko Haram camps.

It was learnt that the gunmen who were fully armed with rocket
propelled grenades and Improvised Explosive Devises (IEDs),invaded the military checkpoint at 11.26 pm on Saturday and started shooting the security agencies whom they overpowered,killing four of them before taking away with their patrol vehicle.

The suspected terrorists were also said to have set ablaze the
houses, filling stations and shops around the popular junction
including the security post, before they fled into the bushes.
