NYSC / FG Dismiss N50,000 NYSC Monthly Allowance Increase, No Increment Yet by Xquisite360: 2:49pm On Aug 22, 2018
Recently there had been rumors speculating NYSC monthly allowance would increase from 19,800 to N50,000. But FG has dismissed this, saying there is no truth to it.
Minister for Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has dismissed reports that the Federal Government was planning to increase the monthly allowance for youth corps members.

Rumours had been rife weeks ago that the Federal Government was planning to increase the monthly allowance from N19,800 to N50,000, but Ngige has said there’s no truth in it.

He said in a press briefing in Anambra that the Federal Government wouldn’t increase the allowance of corps members without first coming out with a minimum wage for the Nigerian workers.

Sports / We Were Punished By Mistakes We Made - Man United Coach, Jose Mourinho by Xquisite360: 1:08pm On Aug 20, 2018
Mourinho’s side were left stunned as Glenn Murray and Shane Duffy of Brighton scored twice in two minutes midway through the first half.

A shell-shocked Jose Mourinho conceded United’s players had only themselves to blame for their first defeat of the Premier League season.

He said, “We were punished by the mistakes we made. For me that’s the story of the game. We made incredible mistakes in some crucial moments. Mistakes that killed us.

“Especially that third goal — we expected to come at 2-1 with positivity — then the third goal killed us off in the second half. Our second goal came too late.

“The week leading up was good and I expected the team collectively to be better. There are basic mistakes that makes almost an impossible mission to win the match.”


Many of Mourinho’s stars, including World Cup winner Pogba, new signing Fred and French forward Anthony Martial, were anonymous for long periods, but the boss refused to criticise individuals.

He said, “I don’t want to go in that direction. I have to learn from my reality

“Last season when I was critical of my team and was debating openly of the performances I was criticised for being too open about my players.

“I will be open when they are doing well. I cannot criticise the desire of my players.”

Education / 10 Grammar Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes by Xquisite360: 7:16am On Aug 16, 2018
This is a list of 10 grammar mistakes almost everyone makes alongside their corrections so they can be avoided.

1. Irregardless
This word is incorrect. It has been sometimes used in place of 'regardless' but it's simply "regardless," as in "Regardless of what you think about grammar, you'll look silly if you use it incorrectly."
2. Whet your appetite

This common phrase is often incorrectly written as "wet your appetite." "Whet" means to sharpen. Thus, "whet your appetite" is correct, as it indicates that you're sharpening, or prepping, your appetite to enjoy a meal.

3. Misplaced apostrophes

Adding "apostrophe 's'" to a noun indicates possession. A common area where people misuse apostrophes is with last names.

If your last name is Johnson and you want to invite people to a party, the invitation should read: "The Johnsons invite you to a summer soirée," not "The Johnson's invite you to a summer soirée."

4. i.e. and e.g.

These two abbreviations are often used interchangeably, but their meanings are different. I.e. is Latin for id est, which translates to "that is." Thus, i.e. should be used to clarify something.

It can informally be replaced with "in other words." "He is training for the marathon before work, i.e., he puts in over a dozen miles each morning."

E.g. is short for the Latin "exemplī grātiā," which means "for example."

"I've recently started cooking with local ingredients, e.g., tomatoes and corn."

5. First come, first served
The proper way to write this expressions is "first come, first served," because the people in the scenario will be served in a specific order. The idiom is often mistakenly written as "first come, first serve."

6. Invite/invitation

Formally, "invite" is a verb, and "invitation" is a noun.
However, the English language is constantly evolving, and Merriam-Webster now allows for "invite" to be used as a noun as well.

Thus, both "I haven't responded to her invite yet" and "I haven't responded to her invitation yet" are correct, but the former may annoy some of your more grammar purist friends.

7. Pique your interest

People can often distinguish between the homophones "peek," which means "to look," and "peak," which refers to the top of a mountain or a similar shape.

However, "pique" is used in the phrase "pique your interest," because "pique" means to excite or energize. Thus, if something "piques your interest," that means that it excites you.

8. Brands and 'they'

A brand is a singular entity, thus is takes the pronoun "it." "Kleenex is my favorite brand because they have the softest tissues" is incorrect, since Kleenex is a singular noun.

The sentence should read, "Kleenex is my favorite brand because it has the softest tissues."

9. Piece or peace of mind?

As "peace" and "piece" are homophones, or words with different spellings and meanings that sound the same, be sure to use the correct spelling to be clear on your meaning. "Peace of mind" refers to serenity. To give someone a "piece of your mind" is to harshly express a concern.


10. Due diligence

To do your due diligence on something is to do a very thorough job. However, "due diligence" is often mistakenly written as "do diligence."

"He exercised due diligence in preparation for the case" is the correct, as it means that the subject went to great lengths to get ready.

Sports / Super Eagles Victor Moses Announces Retirement From International Football @ 27 by Xquisite360: 6:09pm On Aug 15, 2018
Super Eagles Victor Moses announces retirement from international football At 27

Nigerian winger Victor Moses has announced his retirement from international football at the age of just 27, in order to focus on his career with his club, Chelsea.

The Chelsea wing-back, who made 38 appearances in a Super Eagles shirt, played every single minute of their World Cup campaign in Russia, scoring against Argentina and picking up an assist in the 2-0 win over Iceland.

Moses, whose first team prospects at Stamford Bridge look far bleaker under new manager Maurizio Sarri than during Antonio Conte’s time in west London, made his international debut in 2012 against Rwanda, going on to score 12 goals across six years.

In a post on social media, Moses wrote: "I would like to announce that after much thought I have made the decision to retire from playing international football.

"I have experienced some of the best moments of my life wearing the Super Eagles shirt and have memories with me that will last a lifetime. Nothing will ever compete to what it felt like to represent Nigeria on behalf of our country.

"However I feel that now is the right time to step away in order to be able to focus fully on club career and my young family as well as to allow the next generation of Super Eagles stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish. We are blessed as a nation to have so many exciting young players coming through and now is their time.

"I have already spoken to the manager by telephone and would like to say thank you to him and his staff, the NFF and all of my teammates for all of their support over the years. Most importantly I would like to say thank you to the Nigerian people for believing in me and supporting me over the years. It’s meant the world to me and my family and I will always be a proud Nigerian supporting the team.

"Thank you for the memories and good luck to the team for the future"

Health / How Blue Light From Phone Screens Accelerates Blindness by Xquisite360: 5:20pm On Aug 13, 2018
Research has found how blue light generated from smartphones, laptops and other digital devices can damage the eyes and speed up blindness.

Research by the University of Toledo in the US has revealed that prolonged exposure to blue light triggers poisonous molecules to be generated in the eye’s light-sensitive cells that can cause macular degeneration – an incurable condition that affects the middle part of vision.

Blue light, which has a shorter wavelength and more energy compared with other colours, can gradually cause damage to the eyes.

Dr Ajith Karunarathne, an assistant professor in the university’s department of chemistry and biochemistry, said: “We are being exposed to blue light continuously and the eye’s cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it.


“It’s no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye’s retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop.”

Macular degeneration, which affects around 2.4% of the adult population in the UK, is a common condition among those in their 50s and 60s that results in significant vision loss.

It is caused by the death of photoreceptor, ie light-sensitive cells, in the retina.

Crime / Omg! girl Chops Off Boyfriend’s Pen!s In Jigawa by Xquisite360: 6:09pm On Aug 12, 2018
This is serious o!  So they have brought this rough play to Nigeria. 
17-year-old girl, Ramatu Tafida, has chopped off the manhood of her 25-year-old boyfriend, Abdullahi Sabo in Jigawa State, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence (NSCDC) said yesterday.

Spokesman for the organisation in the state, Adamu Shehu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse yesterday  the incident occurred in Babura Local Government Area.

Shehu said the victim is a resident of Kofar Gabas and a teacher at Government Girls Secondary School Babura engaged under N-Power.


“The incident occurred on Thursday in Babura when the attention of our officers was drawn by a good Samaritan who informed them that some youths were about to lynch a girl in Kofar Arewa, the residence of the suspect.

“Immediately the officers swung into action and went to the scene and whisked the girl away to the office for safety, but they still followed her.

“It was upon reaching the office that we realised what led to the whole matter.

“Ramlatu confessed to have used a knife to cut off the manhood of her husband-to-be.

“According to her, Abdullahi is the love of her life and he was even introduced to her family members and has equally given the sum of N30, 000 as an introduction fee.

“And because of that, she was free to be with him almost all the time. As a result they became too intimate that they engaged in sexual relationship.

“However, Ramlatu later learnt that the victim planned to dump her for another girl since he had already known her as a woman. And that was what made her to plan and execute her attack,” he said.

Sports / Show Me Love And I’ll Give My Best – Paul Pogba Tells Jose Mourinho by Xquisite360: 8:04am On Aug 12, 2018
World cup winner Paul Pogba has told Jose Mourinho he needs to be loved and trusted to produce his World Cup performance for Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Pogba, 25, ended a turbulent week in which he was linked with Barcelona by starring as United’s captain in their 2-1 Premier League victory over Leicester on Friday night – his first game since helping France become world champions.


But afterwards the £89million record signing fuelled suggestions his relationship with Mourinho is strained by failing to mention the manager when praising fans and team-mates.

He said: ‘You have to know one thing. A player that gets chosen and is happy, you always feel more comfortable than when he’s not happy. That’s all I’ll say.’Pogba’s mentality has been questioned by Mourinho and the midfielder was dropped last season for the Champions League tie against Sevilla.


‘I am the same Paul Pogba (as at the World Cup). It’s a different team, obviously. I still love football and give my best. When you are comfortable, when people trust everyone, are good in the head, it’s going to be easier. If you’re not happy doing what you’re doing, there’s no point doing it, right? There’s point doing things because you love it.’

Asked if he was happy and comfortable, Pogba replied: ‘There are things I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined.’
He was, however, happy to describe why it clicked with France at the World Cup under Didier Deschamps, where Pogba was filmed in the dressing room rallying his team-mates.

‘It’s easier for a player to be on the same page with all the group,’ he said. ‘The manager was inside, the physio, the kitman, we were all a group. So obviously it’s easier to go and speak and express yourself, and we went for an objective and the big one was to win.’

Pogba is unhappy about Mourinho’s suggestion that his World Cup success was due to being ‘isolated’ and better able to concentrate on his football. The United manager offered an olive branch on Friday when he described his captain as a ‘monster’ in midfield.

3-month-old baby rescued after being put under trailer by his mother to be crushed.

A 3-month-old baby boy, whose mother allegedly wanted dead, was rescued from beneath a trailer where she put him so he could be crushed.

Aisha Yau, who stays under the popular Kawo bridge in Kaduna, was said to have purposely kept the baby under a trailer’s wheel with the expectation that when the trailer moves, it will crush him.
But the baby was rescued before that could happen, The Nation reports.
It was revealed that after the mother put her baby beneath the truck, she stood to one side and prevented people from carrying the baby while also persuading the driver of the truck to start the engine.

Fortunately, a passerby quickly called the attention of the Kaduna State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hafsat Muhammed, who then rescued the baby from Aisha.

When queried, the child's mother said she could not explain how she found herself in Kaduna. She hinted that it was the crisis in her state, Taraba, that scattered her family members and she hasn't seen any of them for over a year.
She explained: "One of my suitors in Kasuwan Baici here in Kaduna, got me pregnant but he denied the pregnancy and refused to take care of me and the baby. So, I want to kill the baby to save myself from shame." .
.
.
Speaking with newsmen, the commissioner said she has directed the social department in her ministry to take Aisha to the hospital for medical examination and treatment before repatriating her and her child to Taraba State.

Boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua believes he has 10 years to cement his boxing legacy, and victory over Alexander Povetkin is part of his journey to greatness.

For all the talk of a future unification bout against Deontay Wilder and the threat posed by his Russian opponent, AJ said he is only concerned by how far he can go.

The heavyweight champion told Sky Sports: ‘It is not just about Povetkin and Wilder, it’s me and my legacy and what I can reach.‘I feel like I am back in a tournament like it was in the amateurs or the Olympics. I have to get past people like Povetkin to fulfill my legacy.’
.
Joshua and Povetkin posed for pictures together at Wembley Stadium after the press conference and there was no animosity between the pair as they smiled and shook hands.

The IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO champion also revealed he has changed his mentality regarding opponents.‘I used to concentrate on the opponent and always worried what was next,’ he added.

. ‘I used to box within myself, stopped expressing myself and fulfilling my potential to become a great world champion. ‘It creates a great fight, I can’t afford to get beat and Alex thinks he can beat me.

Povetkin was respectful in his succinct responses and acknowledged the calibre of fighter he is stepping in against on September 22. ‘I want to say that Anthony Joshua has proved that he’s one of the strongest fighters here – and I’m excited about this fight,’ the 38-year-old said.

. ‘This fight will be all about experience.‘I know Anthony Joshua is a world champion, but we have been training hard for this fight.’Head of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn also underlined the serious threat posed to Joshua’s record in the upcoming bout.

‘The pace that this young man is moving at and the challenge he is wiling to take is fantastic for the sport of boxing,’ said Hearn.Anthony Joshua wants to create a legacy and the only way you do that is by fighting real fighters,’ he concluded.

Sports / I Regret Having Sacrificed Everything - Ex Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger Reveals by Xquisite360: 8:41am On Jul 19, 2018
Arsenal Wenger who has been Arsenal Manager since 1996, reveals regret for having sacrificing everything he did. Wenger who was replaced by former Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery left the Gunners at the end of last season following 22 years at the helm. Speaking to broadcaster RTL, Wenger said: “Perhaps staying at the same club for 22 years. I’m someone who likes to move around a lot, but I also like a challenge. I’ve been a prisoner of my own challenge at times.


“I regret having sacrificed everything I did because I realise I’ve hurt a lot of people around me. I’ve neglected a lot of people. I’ve neglected my family, I’ve neglected many close ones.”


Wenger left the Gunners at the end of last season following 22 years at the helm, where he won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, as well as going the season undefeated to win the title in 2003/04. After his departure from the Emirates, he was replaced by former Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery. “Deep down though, the obsessed man is selfish in his pursuit of what he loves. He ignores a lot of other things. But it’s a bone to chase at the same time,”he adds.


The 68-year old ex Arsenal manager holds the record for the longest serving manager in Europe.
