Arsenal Fan Beats Wife To Coma For Taunting Him Over Loss

A man in Uganda is wanted by police for assault after he beat his wife to coma because she taunted him over Arsenal’s loss to West Brom on Saturday.
The man identified as Abbas Mukobere reportedly thrashed his wife, Ketty Mbali, who is a Manchester United fan, with a cane until she fainted, News24 reported.
Neighbours said they heard the woman crying for help and attempted to see what was happening inside the couple’s apartment but could not do so as the door was locked from behind.
They then went to the window and saw Mukobere beating his wife with a cane.
By the time they were able to break the door, Mukobere had escaped through the back door, while his wife had fainted from the impact of the severe beating.
Neighbours then took her to hospital where she was treated for a fractured arm and bruises on the face, News24 reported.
When she was asked to explain the details of the quarrel, Mbali said: ”As usual, I started joking about my team Manchester United winning and his team Arsenal losing. It seems he was drunk and upset by his team’s loss that he started beating me up.”

NOUN "We can admit 1million students annually" - VC

Vice chancellor of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Prof. Vincent Ado Tenebe, has disclosed that the university has the capacity to admit over one million new students annually. He stated that this has been made possible through its open and distance learning education.

Tenebe made this revelation at the unveiling of the university’s new goodwill ambassador, Ahmed Is.
Tenebe said Nigeria records an excess of 1million students yearly from prospective university admission seekers due to the inability of the existing 124 universities to admit above the current 500,000 carrying capacity.
According to him, NOUN now has presence and learning points in all the 36 states in Nigeria, plus the Federal capital.

“124 universities cannot only admit 500,000 students, the carrying capacities of these universities is always stretched. NOUN can admit 1million students and they will get the same quality education.
“Any student graduating from NOUN will be graduating at par with students of other universities across Nigeria,”Tenebe said.
He added that getting educated through open and distance learning prepares graduates for work with less supervision in the future.
He added that countries like China, India, Indonesia, United Kingdom and the United States of America are using this means to educate their millions of citizens.
While urging Nigerians to take advantage of the democratised system of learning at the university to increase literacy level in the country as NOUN will have a study centre in each of the 774 LGAs in the next 15 years.

LASU Management says it has the right to increase fees

TheLagos State University (LASU) management are standing by their decision to increase acceptance fees from N10, 000 to N20, 000.

The University's students union have protested against this increase and demanded for a ‎reversal of the fees with immediate effect to prevent crisis.

The LASU authorities, in response, have maintained that they have the right to review and increase fees, aside tuition fees which the State government was in charge of.

LASU registrar, Mr Akin Lewis made this known while speaking to press on Friday.
Lewis said that the university only expected the new students who had been offered provisional admission, to pay an acceptance fee.

“This is not the first time new students are paying acceptance fee, so, an increment should not be an alarm, the management has the right to review and increase fees.

“This is not an increment in tuition fees, but an increment in acceptance fee and the management has reasons for its decisions,” he said.

Meanwhile, the students' union, has released a statement which asked new students not to pay these fees until the issue is rectified.

They insisted that making this decision without informing the union is wrong.

”The recent increment of the new students’ acceptance fee and indigenous verification fee, from N10, 000 and 1,000 respectively to 20,000 and 5,000 came as a shock to LASUSU.

“We state emphatically that the management coming out with this increment at this time is a calculated attempt on the part of the management.
“The idea is to introduce what we tag as a “divide and rule” principle between students and the newly admitted students, which the students’ union firmly and judiciously stands against.

“This is also an attempt to bring back the already solved issue of school fees hike; an increment in the acceptance fee will surely lead to an increase in the school fees of new students, which we reject in its totality,"it said.

Success And Academics 5 ways to ensure you get a job after graduation

It can get pretty difficult to get a job once you are done with University, but this does not mean, with a few tips, that you cannot increase your likelihood of this happening for you.

1. Know what you want: In the name of trying to keep your options open, a lot of students make the mistake of trying to apply for anything and everything. This is not the way to go. Having a focus gives you a chance to take your time to research on that career path, know the organisations that will best suit you and build professional relationships.

Remember, do not rely on just your passion when it comes to choosing a career. Most people have a lot of passions. Just look at something you in your life that you put a lot of effort in, and think how you can make a career out of it.

2. Build an online presence: This is 2015, employers will not only look at your CVs to determine if you will be hired. Having an online presence on platform like Linkedin, or having a blog, will give them more idea about who you are. There are a lot of competition out there, and these days, employers can base their final decision on how you come across online, even before they meet you.

3. Don't be money-obsessed:We are all so eager to get out of school and start making money that sometimes we get blinded. How about you consider an unpaid internship for a few months? This is a great opportunity because it gives you the needed experience that you will need for a well-paid job in future, it gives your employer a chance to know you on the job, even employing you, and it gives you a chance to get acquainted with employee life without the immediate pressure to perform. Organisation now have internship programmes for this purpose because it gives them a chance to train you and know how you fit with the team before making the commitment to hire you.

4. Find a mentor: You have to find someone who is doing what you want to do. You can try advanced search on LinkedIn for the company and field where you want to work. For instance, if you want to work in marketing and MTV is your dream employer, enter those two search terms (Marketing and MTV) and see who comes up. Contact them and as for a chance to meet. This could feel like a long shot, but try with as much people as you can, you only need one "Yes." If you get one mentor, it can change everything for you
5. Double-check your application:Before you hit submit, triple-check everything for spelling, syntax, and grammar. Also, be sure that you have the right details in the right applications. Create separate folders on your computer for each company so that you don’t proudly state how excited you are to work at Company X when your application is for Company Y.

Bank of Industry Company trains 150 NYSC Members

According to reports, 150 National Youth Service Corps members are being trained by the Bank of Industry (BoI)under its N2bn Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund (GEF) scheme, in Katsina.

The corps members, taken from six states, were selected from the North-west zone and are among the 1,000 successful applicants nationwide.

Mr. Rasheed Olaoluwa, managing director of BoI, disclosed that the initiative is aimed at empowering Nigerian youths. He said that the the government alone and the private sector cannot solve the issue of unemployment in the country.

He also noted that the training programme was organised for the beneficiaries of the GEF scheme, to give them first-hand drilling on how to successfully run a profitable business.

He stated that while the training would help those who already have business plan but could not translate it to bankable project, the bank’s business development experts would help to fine-tune those who were already in business.

“Although the youth corp members are the direct beneficiaries of the GEF initiative, the entire nation will benefit from it. This is because when the youth are developed, the whole of the environment is transformed,” he said.

UNILORIN May Deploy Drones for Exams Monitoring

If the authorities of the University of Ilorin accede to suggestions by members of the institution’s Drone Team, it is highly probable that the University will, in future, monitor examinations conducted within the campus with drones.
The drones, developed by a team coordinated by Prof. Sulyman AbdulKareem of the Department of Chemical Engineering, added colours to the just concluded 40th anniversary/31st convocation ceremonies of the University.
Other members of the Unilorin Drone Team include Dr. M.T. Yakubu of the Department of Biochemistry; Dr Babalola of the Department of Physics; Engineer Eric and Mr. Ahmed, both of the Department Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
In separate interviews with Unilorin Bulletin last Thursday (November 12, 2015), the Co-ordinator of the team, Prof. AbdulKareem, and another key member of the team, Dr. Yakubu, said that drones can be used to monitor the conduct of examinations in future as well as general campus surveillance in conjunction with the security personnel”.
According to Prof. AbdulKareem, “the use of drones has come to stay because where you don’t want to endanger human life, a machine, which a drone is, can go there and still get the information you need”. He pointed out that “drones, rather than infringing on human rights, actually protect human rights because the man who wants to do evil and knows that a machine can remotely capture his act, will not likely do it”.
The Unilorin Drone Team Coordinator, who is the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, disclosed that some academic departments in the University have started showing interest in the use of the drone. He said, “I believe that apart from giving practical knowledge to those in Geography, Electrical Engineering and Physics, virtually any Department that may have a reason to capture events beyond what is in front of the camera, which has to be aerially covered, can use the drone.”
Prof. AbdulKareem urged the University administration to challenge people to do more “because there are lots of students who are eager to learn and who have ideas that they can put into practice if they have good supervision. He said, “I believe it is a matter of encouragement. Most Nigerian universities should be able to do wonderful things and make major breakthroughs”, noting that some students were co-opted into the team to learn how to operate or fly the drones.
The Drone Team Coordinator enjoined the newly appointed ministers especially for the areas of science and technology, “to see a need for us to self-develop, self-evolve, and self-emancipate as a nation”. He said, “For a long time now, we have relied on personnel from foreign countries to bail us out of every technical problem we get into, but the issue is that, we have so many Nigerians that are trained abroad that are here and even those who have not left the country that are equally talented that should be encouraged to do wonderful things for the nation.”
Prof. AbdulKareem maintained that the new ministers “should see their appointments as a chance of working with the academics in the educational institutions to promote what will be good for the nation, to make the nation as a whole self-reliant on personnel that are available locally.”
In the same vein, Dr. Yakubu said, “We can also use the drone to monitor what is happening on our borders; we have a very vast amount of land, and we can use it to track activities that are going on there. Invariably, we can use the drones to cover the entire University and in getting information to the appropriate quarters. ”
The Biochemistry Lecturer, who urged the University to ensure that the use of drones on the campus remains functional and sustained, advised that “it should not only be used during the convocation as we did last time, but we should put it to all-round use on campus.
Dr Yakubu said that drones can be used to monitor the conduct of examinations in future; we can use it for surveillance on the campus and when you look at all these, it will be of advantage to the whole University”, he stressed.
