35 Candidates Miss UNILORIN Post-utme Over Indecent Dressing

The authorities of the University of Ilorin reportedly prevented 35 candidates, mostly female from taking part in the post- UTME screening over indecent dressing.

It was gathered that the candidates had assembled at the centre designated for the computer based (CBT) test at the permanent site of the University when officials in charge of the test turned them back on account of their dressing considered not decent enough.

The authorities of the University, had in an advertorial before the commencement of the test, set guidelines for prospective candidates, one of which compels candidates to dress decently to the examination venue.

It was learnt that the pleas by the candidates were turned down in line with the varsity’s zero tolerance for indecent dressing and other anti-social conducts.

With the development, the affected candidates may have automatically forfeited their chances of writing the crucial examination, which allows them admittance into the University.

When contacted, Deputy Director of Corporate Affairs of the University, Mr. Kunle Akogun, said he was not aware of the development, but added that “it is possible”, because of the war against indecent dressing on the campus.

Meanwhile, the bus terminus on the University campus was filled with passengers, mostly post- UTME candidates scrambling to board few taxi-cabs that were on ground.

It was gathered that the commercial drivers shuttling between Unilorin Main Campus and Tanke Tipper Garage, took advantage of the moment to exploit the candidates.

David Oyelowo, first black James Bond in the next 007

David Oyelowo is first black James Bond

British actor David Oyelowo is to play James Bond – though in voice only.
The Guardian reports that the 39-year-old is set to read the audio edition of Trigger Mortis, a new novel commissioned by the Ian Fleming estate and written by Anthony Horowitz.
Oyelowo received a personal invitation from the estate of Ian Fleming, the author of the original Bond spy novels, and claimed he was “very honored” at the opportunity, telling The Guardian, “I am officially the only person on planet Earth who can legitimately say: ‘I am the new James Bond.’”
While audiences today may best know him for his Golden Globe-nominated portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma, Oyelowo has already won considerable esteem for his acting prowess.
In 2001, he became the first black actor to play an English king in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Henry VI trilogy, earning high praise for his performance.
Oyelowo is not the first black actor to play the role of Bond in audio form. In 2012, Hugh Quarshie read the audiobook of Dr No as part of a boxset.
The casting of cinema’s next 007 is still yet to be announced, although rumours continue to circulate that Idris Elba will become the first black Bond – despite Elba ruling himself out.
Daniel Craig is contractually obliged to play Bond in one more film after Spectre, which is released in November, but reports suggest he may be released from his contract early.
Trigger Mortis will be released on 8 September.

Ebola outbreak could end in 2015, but fight isn’t over – UN

Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO

A senior official of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Margaret Chan, said on Friday that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa could be stopped at the end of 2015.
Chan, who stated this in New York while briefing the UN Security Council, said that in spite of the projection, the international community needed to continue the fight against the epidemic.
She remarked that the strong international response to the outbreak of the disease in 2014 put Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone – countries worst hit by it – on a path to ending the epidemic.
“If the current intensity of case detection and contact tracing is sustained, the virus can be soundly defeated by the end of this year, that means going to zero and staying at zero,’’ she said.
Chan cautioned against easing the vigilance on eradicating Ebola.
“All it takes is a single undetected case in a health facility, one infected contact fleeing the monitoring system, or one unsafe burial to ignite a flare-up of cases,’’ she added.
The outbreak, which began in March, 2014 and has been the largest since the Ebola virus was discovered in 1976, has infected no fewer than 28,000 people, killing more than 11,000.

Nigerian exposes Africans in UK on Soundcity Documentary

Labi Odebunmi, a young British-Nigerian filmmaker, is set to premiere in Nigeria a breezy documentary that will educate Nigerians back home about the rise and dominance of Nigerian culture in the United kingdom.
Premiering on Soundcity, an urban lifestyle channel, at 3pm on Saturday, 15 August, the special documentary will debut with a focus on Moelogo, a British-Nigeria music star and first Afrobeat artiste to sign a recording deal with Island Records, one of the world’s most legendary record labels.
Island Records is part of the Universal Music Group, the world’s largest record label group and the home of greats such as Bob Marley and Amy Winehouse.
The documentary will cover Moelogo’s moment in June 2014 at the Island Records’ headquarters in London when he signed the recording deal. It will also include an interview segment with emphasis on his background, his music career, his day-to-day itinerary with the production crew, his video shoot and personal experience on the rise of African culture in terms of music in the UK.

Labi

According to the London-based director, the documentary will expose some of the cultural realities about Nigerians abroad through the personalities he will feature on the programme.
“I want to give average Nigerians who may not have the opportunity to fly to London to have the feel of the society and appreciate the cultural realities being imbibed by most Nigerians in the Diaspora,” Labi explained.
He noted that while a lot of Nigerians at home are looking at UK and America for inspiration, many of their peers abroad are having a reawakening and looking at home for cultural education and copy the cultural values.
“We have got to that stage in the UK where white folks including those at West End now dance to Nigerian music at their clubs and even play our Afrobeat songs on their radio stations. The other day, Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba’ was played on the influential Capital FM and everybody could feel the vibe. This is because of the Nigerian culture which gives originality to the genre of music they play,” he added.
The young upcoming filmmaker disclosed that he has listed a number of African achievers that will also be featured very soon on the programme to tell their stories.
Labi is the son of ace broadcaster and owner of popular Obalende Suya London, Tokunbo Odebunmi. A first class graduate of Film and Television from the University of Hartfordshire, he has been creating visuals in film, music video and other productions.

The #BringBackOurGirls group, a movement which has been campaigning for the release of hundreds of girls kidnapped from Chibok, Borno state by Islamist sect, Boko Haram, said on Tuesday that its confidence has been boosted on the eventual release of the abducted girls by some pragmatic steps being taken by the Muhammadu Buhari administration recently.

Not only governments, everyone can do something however little, to keep their tragedy of their abduction alive and to keep the hope that we can have them back.

Buhari will get weekly report on NNPC, says Kachikwu

Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, NNPC GMD

The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has stated his resolve to usher in a new dawn of transparency through the periodic publications of the Corporation’s financial transaction insisting that transparency must be the watchword of every staff in the new NNPC.
Dr. Kachikwu who stated this at his maiden Town Hall meeting with the staff of the Corporation at the NNPC Towers, Abuja, said the new NNPC of his dream is a Corporation anchored on the foundation of transparency.
“I want transparency. Beginning from next month, I want to be able to publish what the company makes. I have told the President that as from next week I will be sending him weekly reports,” he said.
Charging the staff to break away from the old culture and bring creative solutions to the numerous challenges facing the Corporation, the GMD said with the kind of change he has in mind workers cannot afford to continue with business as usual.
He challenged workers disobey any directive from him or any superior officer that runs contrary to the rules, adding that, President Muhammadu Buhari will not ask him to do anything shady just as he himself would not ask any staff to carry out any unlawful duty.
Speaking further on the culture of transparency, he said it should begin by establishing the current financial status of the Corporation and that he would sign up auditors “to do a proper forensic audit to tell us where we are.”

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria

He promised to revisit old processes that used to make for efficient operations, adding that staff should see themselves the drivers of the changes required to bring about the new NNPC.
“You are the best consultants there are. While there may be need to refer certain issues to consultants, ultimately you are the ones who will implement whatever recommendations they come up with; you are the ones who have been around and who understand the system and so you are the ones who should drive the change,” he charged the staff.
He said the change would be anchored on three key issues of people, processes, and profit, adding that the people element was key to the success of the other two elements which was the reason personnel motivation was dear to his heart.
He dismissed reports that he was out to sack 1000 staff and that nothing could be farther from the truth as he needed quality staff to drive the processes and business in the new NNPC.
Speaking on behalf of members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association, PENGASSAN Comrade Francis Johnson pledged the readiness of NNPC staff with the GMD to achieve the Federal Government’s reform agenda for the Corporation and the oil and gas industry at large.
Echoing the position of the PENGASSAN President, Comrade Igwe Achese, President of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, said that as a group, the union has implicit confidence in the ability of the new GMD to deliver on President Buhari’s reform agenda in the oil and gas industry.

Buhari calls for comprehensive report on sale of NITEL print

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari has demanded for a comprehensive report on sale of Nigerian Telecommunications Limited (NITEL), and Nigerian Mobile Telecommunication (Mtel), from the Ministry of Communications Technology.
The President made the request after briefing by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Tunji Olaopa in Abuja on Tuesday.
NAN recalls that the National Council on Privatisation (NCP), at its meeting of February 27, 2012, approved the privatisation of NITEL and Mtel through “guided liquidation”.
The meeting was presided over by former Vice-President Namadi Sambo.
The preferred bidder of NITEL/Mtel, NATCOM Consortium, on April 2, 2015, completed the payment of the telecommunications assets for 252 million dollars.
Buhari, however, said he was concerned by the continuing protests by former NITEL/Mtel employees and other Nigerians over the manner in which assets of the company were sold.
The president challenged the ministry to work harder to fully develop the revenue-generation potential of Nigeria’s information technology sector.
He also directed the ministry to bring forward for his consideration and approval, all pending proposals for the development of the country’s IT sector which required the approval of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
“Where you don’t need EXCO approval and you are not in breach of the law and will not lose money, you can go ahead.
“Now that oil costs less and we are contending with its theft, we have to move to areas where we can realize revenue quickly,” he said.
Buhari welcomed the plan by the ministry to use post offices across the country for IT and financial transactions especially in the rural communities, saying that he was happy to hear that “we are recovering the post offices from rats and rodents.”
The ministry’s presentation dwelled heavily on the potential of the IT sector in boosting the nation’s economy.
According to the permanent secretary, the sector contributes 10 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product, but could grow to 20 per cent if some proposals by the ministry are approved and implemented.

Over 60 Die in Yobe as Boko Haram Launches Fresh Attacks

Over 60 people have been killed by Boko Haram in Yobe State in fresh attacks.

The terrorists attacked Kukuwa – Gari in Gulani Local Government Area of the state, Punch reports.

Spokesman for the Yobe State Police Command, Toyin Gbadegesin, confirmed the attack. However, he was unable to confirm the casualty figure.

“I can confirm that there was an attack at Kukuwa village and the police and other security operatives were able to repel the Boko Haram attackers. We are not aware of the high death toll,” he said.

Abubakar Aliyu, a member of a local vigilance group in the area told newsmen that over 60 people died.

“Most of the villagers were drowned in the river which was flooded by the downpour while others were shot dead by the terrorists. The terrorists invaded Kukuwa-Gari village and its environs on motorcycles and trucks and started shooting at every possible target.

Some of us in the local vigilance group and some security officials could not withstand the Boko Haram terrorists’ firepower as they were over 50 and were heavily armed.

I was able to hide in the bush for two days, when I came out, many dead bodies which is far more than 60 were seen close to the river bank. Most of us could not communicate with people in Damaturu, the state capital, because telecommunication masks have been blown off by the insurgents,” he said.

Manchester United 3-1 Club Bruges PLAYER RATINGS: Memphis Depay proves his worth but Wayne Rooney still well short of his best

Memphis Depay's double and a late bonus goal from Marouane Fellaini put Manchester United in the driver's seat ahead of their Champions League's qualifying return leg against Club Bruges.

After Michael Carrick inadvertently turned a Club Bruges' free-kick past Sergio Romero and into their own net, Dutchman Depay showed why United shelled out £31million for his services. 

First he brought down a sharp Carrick pass on his chest with a classy piece of skill before dancing through the penalty area for his first and then cut in from the left and onto his right for a sublime second.

Fellaini, on for Wayne Rooney, then delivered a trademark header at the far post to give United a two-goal buffer before they head to Belgium next week.

Boko Haram 150 killed while fleeing from terrorists in Yobe

About 150 people have died in Yobe State after an attack by Boko Haram insurgents, reports say.

Some of the victims were shot while the others drowned while trying to escape from Kukuwa-Gari.

The terrorists reportedly invaded the village on Thursday, August 13, 2015, and opened fire on residents.

“They opened fire instantly, which forced residents to flee. They shot a number of people. Unfortunately many residents who tried to flee plunged into the river which is full from the rain. Many drowned,” Modu Balumi, a resident of the village told AFP.

“By our latest toll we have 150 people either (shot dead) or drowned in the attack. The gunmen deliberately killed a fisherman who tried to save drowning residents of the village,” he added.

“Boko Haram gunmen attacked our village on Thursday which led to the deaths of around 150 people. Most of the victims died in the river while trying to escape. The gunmen opened fire on the village forcing people to run to safety,” Bukar Tijjani, another villager said confirming the attack.

“Most residents, particularly women and children, ran towards the river in confusion. They were pursued by the gunmen, who kept firing at them. In the frantic effort to escape they jumped into the river, which was full to the brim,” he added.

President Muhammadu Buhari has given Nigeria’s military three months to defeat the sect and end its activities.

Kerry Washington Pulls Off Pilates Moves & Talks Handling Her Body, Baby & Career for SELF Magazine

The month of September looks good on Kerry Washington as she covers the latest issue of Self Magazine.

Rocking a green one-piece with a blue insert, the #SelfMade issue centers on Kerry’s ability to balance her popular role on hit series, Scandal, while being a new mom and taking care of her body irrespective of her busy schedule. We also get to learn what she thinks being a self made woman is all about.

In a short clip below, Kerry talks what motivation means to her, how she uses Pilates to find focus while strengthening her core, while pulling off some impressive moves for the camera in a little cleared corner of the Scandal set.

On learning from Olivia Pope
Now that I’ve been playing Olivia Pope for 4 years I feel like she’s taught me so much about who I want to be in some ways, and who I don’t want to be. Characters come into my life sometimes when I need to learn something from them.

On finding Pilates after she was injured
I was introduced to Pilates about 8 or 9 years ago. I got really injured while I was training and I needed to find a way to work out that was both rehabilitating and challenging for me physically so I could still stay in shape, and Pilates was the answer to all of my questions.

On what the key to being a #SelfMade woman is
The key to really being successful as a self made woman for me has been learning to ask for help. Each of us is incredibly unique, we each have things that we can offer the world that nobody else can because you are you. But I can’t really be myself fully until I allow people to help me. And then we can really be our full selves.

Not a good start for Barcelona

Luis Enrique makes his players stay out on the pitch to show respect to Bilbao, who now have hold of the trophy.
Enrique and Barcelona will have a chance to put this right at the weekend. They face Bilbao back at the San Mames on Sunday in the opening weekend of La Liga fixtures.

FT Barcelona 1-1 Athletic Bilbao

Bilbao's players are dancing on the Nou Camp pitch. They followed up a stunning performance Friday at the San Mames by a disciplined display that nullified Barcelona's feared attack.
They beat Barcelona 5-1 on aggregate to win the Super Cup. Barcelona's players look shell-shocked.

• 
  
• 
  

22:48

Luis Enrique dejected

Losing with silverware in sight is not something Luis Enrique or Barcelona are used to but the manager has the look of a man who knows his fate now.
We are in the 90th minute at the Nou Camp and three minutes have been added on.

Aritz Aduriz celebrates scoring for Bilbao against Barcelona

• 
  
• 
  

22:44

Red card! Kike Sola!

High leg down the shin on Javier Mascherano and he is sent off about four minutes after coming on! It was untidy but not mailicious, however he cannot have any complaints.
Three minutes left plus added time.

• 
  
• 
  

22:40

Aduriz taken off by Bilbao

Aduriz comes off with 10 minutes left and Kike Sola replaces him. Aduriz is greeted gleefully by his team mates as he takes his seat on the Bilbao bench.
He has scored four times in two games against Barcelona and Bilbao have a Europa League qualifier on Thursday they will need him to prepare for.

22:34

Barcelona 1-1 Athletic Bilbao, 75 mins

De Marcos wins a header against Mathieu and the ball drops to the feet of Aduriz just outside the penalty area.
But nobody is anywhere near the forward, who has acres of space due to Pique's dismissal. Aduriz shoots low and Bravo, who has rushed out of his goal, parries the attempt back into his feet and he slots home.
That is surely that!

• 
  
• 
  

22:32

Goal! Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Barcelona

Aduriz kills the tie!

• 
  
• 
  

22:31

Suarez so close!

The Messi-Suarez combination is a dangerous one and the Argentina forward feeds the former Liverpool man this time.
Suarez then surges forward and shoots from the edge of the area with his left foot but the attempt is wide.

• 
  
• 
  

22:27

70 mins, Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao

Barca seem set to win the battle but lose the war. They lead Bilbao 1-0, need three more to avoid defeat.

• 
  
• 
  

22:26

Subs for Bilbao and Barcelona

Elustondo replaces Etxeita for Bilbao. Rakitic and Pedro off for Munir and Sandro for Barcelona.

• 
  
• 
  

22:21

Snapshot from Suarez

But the forward drills a low shot straight at Iraizoz from 25 yards.

• 
  
• 
  

22:19

62 mins, Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao

But Barcelona are down to 10 men as Gerard Pique has been sent off. 30 minutes left, three goals needed at the Nou Camp.

• 
  
• 
  

22:18

Rakitic misses a sitter!

Barca get forward down the left from the corner and Mathieu sends the ball across the six yard area where Rakitic is there to meet it but the playmaker sends it the wrong side of the post! Ugly miss.

• 
  
• 
  

22:16

Red card Pique!

The defender has been given his marching orders! He was incensed that Aduriz was not flagged offside and kept on remonstrating with officials furiously... and the referee has sent him off!

• 
  
• 
  

22:14

Aduirz close

The Bilbao striker works a yard of space between Pique and Mathieu and gets a shot away which Bravo turns behind the post.

• 
  
• 
  

22:11

Tepid start from Barcelona

Barca looked rattled, Bilbao look comfortable. They are putting their foot on the ball and passing it round in Barcelona's half.
Suarez stabs the ball into the path of Pedro as Barca try to spring a counter attack but once again, a Barcelona forward is flagged offside.

• 
  
• 
  

22:05

Pictures of the goalmouth scramble

Iraizoz refused to let go of the ball when Messi scored just before half-time. Bilbao will need more of that stubbornness in this half.

• 
  
• 
  

22:03

Players back out on the pitch

Barcelona begin the hunt for three more goals to avoid defeat in Super Cup final. The second half has just started.

• 
  
• 
  

21:48

Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao HT

It was one of the final incidents of the half. Barcelona's first shot on target is rewarded with a goal and it gives them hope. They need three more.

• 
  
• 
  

21:46

Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao

Hope springs eternal at the Nou Camp and it is that man Lionel Messi once again.
Rakitic flicks the ball high across the penalty area and Suarez leaps high to chest the ball down and Messi, on the run, cushions it with one touch and lashes it home with the next.
As the Barca fans roar into life, the Barca squad desperately try and grab the ball out of the grasp of Bilbao goalkeeper Iraizoz. He is not letting go, despite about five players trying to get it off him and the referee has to break it up before it turns into something nasty. Pedro gets booked.

• 
  
• 
  

21:43

GOAL! 1-0 Barcelona, Messi

• 
  
• 
  

21:40

Glorious chance... for Bilbao!

Eraso pounces on a poor pass from Mathieu and he bursts into the Barca penalty area. He has two options and enough time to acknowledge both: shoot, or pass to Aduriz who is alone in the centre and would have the simplest of finishes to apply to kill the encounter.
But Eraso shoots high into the side netting and Barcelona breathe a sigh of relief. How costly could that miss be? It was the best chance of the game.

• 
  
• 
  

21:35

Iniesta way over

This is getting to look very poor for Barcelona now.
Ivan Rakitic works an opening down the right and cuts it back to Andres Iniesta on the edge of the area.
Sadly for Luis Enrique, Iniesta's shot would have been at home in the Rugby World Cup rather than the Nou Camp.
Poor finishing is costing Barcelona.

• 
  
• 
  

21:31

Boveda booked, free-kick in Messi range

Boveda has spent two years on loan at Eibar. This is his first start for Bilbao since 2009. And he has been booked for bringing down Iniesta about 25 yards out.
Messi, who else, stands over the ball but curls it on to the roof of the net.

• 
  
• 
  

21:28

Pedro lets fly

This could possible be Pedro's last Barcelona appearance but he was unable to hit the back of the net with a chance at the start of the game at the Nou Camp.

• 
  
• 
  

21:24

Bilbao with a corner

But it is light relief for the visitors as Pique gets it away with a trademark towering header.
Barca are still looking to break the offside trap with a through ball. Maybe time to start some that one-touch passing they are famed for.

• 
  
• 
  

21:20

Bilbao stubborn, 0-0 after 20 minutes

20 minutes gone at the Nou Camp and while it is Barcelona who have the upper hand in terms of proceedings on the night, it is Bilbao whose four-goal advantage is preserved.

• 
  
• 
  

21:14

Suarez offside again

Low ball forward from Iniesta sees Suarez hit the burners but the linesman's flag is up, much to the striker's disdain but it is a correct decision.
That's the second time this Bilbao defence, which is under pressure but looks organised, has executed the offside trap to perfection against Suarez.

• 
  
• 
  

21:10

Pique staying forward

Andres Iniesta tried to thread in Gerard Pique, yes Gerard Pique, but the defender who is again positioned as a centre-forward cannot find his stride to reach the ball.

• 
  
• 
  

21:08

Pique hits the bar!

He's got to score! Play is scrambled down the left but a low cross eventually comes in at the feet of Gerard Pique, who turns the ball against crossbar from about eight yards on the half volley. He's usually so composed in the other box, especially for a defender!
Moments earlier, Pedro turned a half-chance over the bar form the edge of the area.
Electrifying start from Barcelona!

• 
  
• 
  

21:06

Messi sent sprawling

An incisive pass between the centre-back and left-back by Dani Alves instantly unhinges the Bilbao defence and gives Messi a glimpse of an opening into the penalty area.
But the Argentina international runs out of pitch to keep the ball in, and his momentum takes him into the cameramen behind the byline.

• 
  
• 
  

21:01

We're underway

No side has never come from four down and won the Spanish Super Cup. Can Barcelona be the first?
We're underway and there is a ferocious atmosphere at the Nou Camp. Suarez already narrowly caught offside inside 30 seconds.

• 
  
• 
  

20:58

Players in the tunnel

Both sets of players are walking on to the pitch. Gerard Pique shoots a glare at the Super Cup while Bilbao's players wave at their fans way up in the gods at the Nou Camp. Kick-off imminent.

•

Two to watch for Bilbao

And they are the two scorers from Friday's game.
Mikel San Jose used to be on the books at Liverpool when Rafa Benitez was manager. He is comfortable either as a central defender or defensive midfielder and is a valuable cog in this Bilbao side.
Further up the pitch, Aritz Aduriz might be 34 but he last week's hat-trick saw some of the most clinical finishing of his life against Barcelona. His confidence will be oozing tonight and Barca cannot afford for him to even get a sniff if they are to life the cup tonight.
