Reports reaching DAILY POST from Maiduguri, the Borno state
capital on Sallah reveals that, the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko
Haram attacked Monguno and Baga in the northern part of Borno
state, killing many.
According to residents of the two local government taking
refuge at Bakasi IDP camp, several people who returned
home for Sallah were forced to return back to Maiduguri,
but could not gain entrance as a result of restriction of
vehicular movement for the Sallah in Maiduguri.
” we have to trek down from Shagari low cost to Bakasi
last night because the soldiers could not allow us to come
in with vehicle following the restriction for Sallah. I do not
think this Boko Haram is over as government wants us to
believe.” Mammadu Ibrahim who returned to camp told
newsmen in Maiduguri.
Speaking on the attack, he said, ” we learnt that Baga was
attacked at about 12 midnight and by 2am, we were
attacked at Monguno. I do not know the number of
casualties but certainly, many people were killed by the
insurgents.”
It could be recalled that, suicide bomb attack in Maiduguri
recently killed over 100 people.

Earlier this year, Microsoft released Office 2016 suite
for Mac, but to only users with an Office 365
subscription. Yesterday the company finally made the
suite available globally, making it the first major
update the suite has received since Office 2013
Office 2016 brings a host of new features including
much requested real-time collaboration that has long
been available on the web version of Office 2013 and
Google Docs, co-authoring support on Word, Skype for
Business integration and more.
Excel, trying to allow you make the most of your data
now allows publishing to Power BI and new modern
chart-types. Office 365 Group, now part of Outlook
2016 and an Outlook app on iOS, Android and Windows
Phone allows users easily create public or private
teams, including shared inbox, calendar along with
cloud storage, making collaboration quite easy.
Skype for Business, previous called Lync now been
integrated with Office comes in handy as it allows
users co-authoring a document, chat with each other,
share screens and set up meetings right on Office
apps.
Additionally, Office 2016 has brought some enterprise
data protection-focused features like the Data Loss
Prevention (DLP) tool created to “significantly reduce
the risk of leaking sensitive data by giving IT admins
tools to centrally create, manage and enforce policies
for content authoring and document sharing”.
Obviously a convenient tool. Later this year,
Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) which allows more
secure corporate content sharing across corporate
managed apps and network/cloud locations,
preventing inadvertent content sharing outside
corporate boundaries will be enabled by default in
Windows 10, with support in Office Mobile.
Microsoft has noted that Office 365 Business
subscribers should at the end of this month expect
an update to its OneDrive for Business sync client,
promising enhanced reliability and selective sync on
Mac and Windows.
Ensuing this release, the company will be increasing
the cadence of Office updates on Windows to feel
much more like the cadence on the Office mobile and
web apps, with new features release every month.
That means new features and updates arriving quite a
bit earlier.

A Federal High Court in Lagos has adjourned further
proceedings till November 23, 2015, in an alleged copyright
infringement suit filed by a popular Nigerian musician, Paul
I.K. Dairo, against a telecommunications company, Etisalat.
The multiple award-winning artiste is seeking an order of
the court compelling Etisalat and others to pay him
N200m for allegedly making use of his 2009 hit track,
“Mosorire” without his authorisation.
Paul Play claimed that Etisalat used “Mosorire” in its
popular television reality show, tagged, “Nigerian Idol” for
two consecutive years without paying him.
Joined with Etisalat in the suit marked FHC/CS/581/2014
is Optima Media Group, which is the organiser of Nigerian
Idol.
Optima Media Group has however filed an application
urging the court to join the Copyright Society of Nigeria as
a defendant in the suit.
Optima Media Group, which is the organiser of Nigerian
Idol, sponsored by Etisalat, claimed to have obtained the
licence to use the Paul Play’s track from COSON.
Justice Aneke on Wednesday adjourned till November 23,
2015 to hear the application seeking to join COSON.
Paul Play, in the affidavit filed in support of his suit and
deposed to by himself, averred that, “I am the copyright
owner of the work named and tagged “Mosorire”, contained
in my repertoire, exclusively for the jurisdiction of Nigeria
and the authority or permission to exploit such work can
only be obtained from me.
“However, the defendants being an organiser of a television
reality show tagged, “Nigerian Idol” caused the use,
adaptation and deployment of my said work, titled
“Mosorire” on the said show without my consent, and
which was broadcast to several millions of television
viewers throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the
rest of Africa for 2012 and 2013 editions.”
The artiste said the defendants particularly infringed on his
copyright when they allowed one of the contestants on the
show to reproduce and perform his song in the glare of the
whole nation and beyond.
Paul Play averred that as a singer and composer, he was
entitled to an annual fee of N100m on the said track, to
commensurate with his effort in putting the work together.
He however averred that having made use of his work
without obtaining permission from him, the defendants had
caused him loss of income while “they have made gains
and improved on their own brand image.”
The artiste therefore sought a declaration of the court that
the use of his song without authorisation constituted an
infringement of his copyright, as guaranteed by the
Copyright Act, Cap C28, Laws of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, 2004 and sections 6 (6) (b) and 44 of the 1999
Constitution.

The Jonathanians are yet to recover from the
electoral misfortunes of their hero. I don’t expect
them to be objective on this platform about PMB’s
administration. His first foreign trip was about
security of the trouble region of the country. He was
invited to G7 meeting immediately he was declared
winner of the presidential election. His presence
among the world leaders did a lot to improve the
image of our county . His next trip is about AU. If he
refused to attend AU meeting for instance, the
Jonathanians will be falling over one another to
criticise him. To all the Jonathanians, please for
God’s sake let us put the events of the past behind us
and move the country forward.

National Examination Council has concluded plans to
introduce Computer-Based Test in objective papers of its
subsequent examinations.
The Chairman, NECO Governing Board, Dr. Paddy Njoku,
made this known in Abuja on Thursday during the board’s
monitoring visit to the Model Secondary School, Maitama,
centre of NECO Senior Secondary School Certificate
Examination.
He said he was impressed with the progress of the
examination, as pupils and teachers conducted
themselves well.
Njoku said the visit was informed by the fact the day’s
paper — Mathematics — was compulsory for all the
pupils.
“We will introduce CBT in papers that need computer in
the next exams, but some other subjects are either
practical or essay; so you cannot put everything under
CBT. Mathematics is compulsory, so the hall will be full;
that is why we decided to inspect them today.
“We do about four levels of monitoring: we have
invigilators, supervisors, security men and external
monitors drawn from institutions of higher learning, who
independently monitor the centres without getting
involved in the administration of the examination.
“The board comes out to monitor and get direct
assessment of the situation so that nobody tells stories
and all these we do to ensure very strict control of our
examination.”
Njoku also noted that reports from all over the country
indicated that the examination was going on fine.
He said the performance of pupils in the examination had
improved over the last two years, based on those who
made five credits, including Mathematics and English.
According to him, the performance will continue to
improve “since the rot created over the years will take
some time to fix.”
He, however, blamed dwindling student performance on
the quality of teachers, adding that efforts were being
made to address the problem.
On his part, NECO Registrar, Prof. Abdulrashid Garba, said
that in 2016, all objective examinations of the body would
be CBT.
“In the schools visited so far, we have not seen anything
that can cause disturbance; it has been complete
compliance with the rules of the examination. All centres
in Nigeria have been adequately secured in special areas
like Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Extra security
measures have also been taken.”
Garba said that 975, 991 students are currently taking the
examination nationwide. According to him, the results will
be released 60 days from the date of the last paper, which
comes up on July 10.

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’
Forum are expected to meet in Abuja next week.
It will be their first meeting since the end of the elections
and members are expected to confirm Governor Olusegun
Mimiko of Ondo State as the new Chairman of the Forum.
Speaking with our correspondent in Abuja on Friday, the
Coordinator of the Forum, Mr. Osaro Onaiwu, said there
had been informal meetings where about nine of the
governors zeroed in on Mimiko as the new chairman of
the Forum.
According to Onaiwu, an earlier meeting scheduled for this
week was shelved as the governors were said to be
engaged in the negotiations and horse-trading with
regards to the elections of the new leadership of the
National Assembly.
Asked if other governors were not interested in leading
the Forum, the PDP Governors’ Forum coordinator said
the coming meeting will determine if there was such
interest.
He said, “Am aware that about nine of them have already
thrown their support behind Mimiko to lead the forum,
because they said they want very steady and organised
hands now that the PDP is in opposition.”
Former Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Sen. Godswill
Akpabio, was the first and the only chairman of the
Forum.
The Forum was hurriedly formed during the crisis that
rocked the Nigeria Governors Forum, when a former
Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, was elected
the chairman.
Following the emergence of Amaechi as the NGF
chairman, aggrieved members of the Forum later formed
their own faction of the Forum and elected a former
Governor of Plateau State, Mr. Jonah Jang, as their
chairman.

Did I hear MUST...anyway its just an opinion, so it should not be a must.

Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (24 August
1937 – 7 July 1998), often referred to as M. K. O.
Abiola , was a popular Nigerian Yoruba businessman,
publisher, politician and aristocrat of the Yoruba Egba
clan. He ran for the presidency in 1993, and is widely
regarded as the presumed winner of the inconclusive
election since no official final results were announced.
He died in 1998, after being denied victory when the
entire election results were dubiously annulled by the
preceding military president Ibrahim Babangida
because of alleged evidence that they were corrupt and
unfair.
Since then, Nigerians has used this day to honour him and the southwestern states in reference to his memorial has always declared June 12 as a public holiday
