21 July, 2013 Education Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Benin zone, on Friday threatened that the ongoing strike embarked upon by the union could be prolonged if President Goodluck Jonathan repeated the mistakes of previous administrations. Addressing journalists at the University of Benin main campus, Coordinator of the zone and member of the National Executive Council of ASUU, Dr. Sunny Ighalo, said the strike could be indefinite if government remained insensitive to lecturers’ plight and refused to honour the agreement it had with the union. Giving an update on the three-week strike, Ighalo said this time around, the action would be total and comprehensive in all Nigerian universities. Ighalo said members would not shift ground except government honoured the agreement it entered into with ASUU, adding that members would not yield to government’s threat of no-work-no-pay rule.

20 July, 2013 Local Olalekan Ishau Abiola, the first son of late Alhaja Kudirat and Moshood Abiola, in this interview, insists his mother’s killers are still living large and walking the streets freely. Excerpt: What’s your take on the Appeal Court judgement which freed Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan? In our religion, we were taught that speculation is the worst kind of speech. Unless you are in a room with the conspirator, it is very difficult to say there was conspiracy to jeopardise the case. I think the Lagos State Government did the best it could under extremely difficult situations. Olalekan Ishau Abiola Olalekan Ishau Abiola The killing of my mother happened during the Abacha regime, which means that those investigating the murder were investigating the people that perpetrated the act. One of the things the Appeal Court said was that there was no police report. Probably, the police did not investigate the case in the best way. So, that was the major

20 July, 2013 Football Former Super Eagles skipper, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, has made a passionate appeal to the out-of-favour Eagles defender, Joseph Yobo, not to quit the senior national team now because of the rift between him and coach Stephen Keshi. Fielding questions from the media in Abuja after the commissioning of the new secretariat of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja yesterday, the former Bolton Wanderers mercurial midfielder quipped that if he had the opportunity he would not have retired as early as he did from the national team, urging Yobo to continue to hang on. Asked his take on the way Keshi has handled the return of Yobo, Okocha said: “Everybody has different approach to handling issues. I will be wrong to criticise the way Keshi is handling the issue. The only thing is we must try to be diplomatic about it and make friends instead of enemies.” “In football, issues must always come up positively or negatively but the way

20 July, 2013 Football Should Nigeria eventually qualify for next year’s World Cup in Brazil, the Super Eagles would only be going to the Samba nation to make up the numbers. Former Benue State Sports Commissioner, Hon. Mike Kusah, who gave the prediction, said the defence of the Nigerian team he saw at the recently concluded FIFA Confederations Cup does not have what it takes to stop world class strikers. “After watching the Confederations Cup, I knew that we (Nigeria) won’t do well at the World Cup in Brazil next year” he submitted during a lengthy telephone chat with Saturday Sunsports. According to him, the Super Eagles back line, as presently constituted is disadvantaged in size and height and, therefore, lacks the fear factor to scare dare-devil strikers. “Football is a physical game and I have not seen that physical approach in our football” the former Benue State sports numero uno went on. “We need huge defenders in the Nigerian defence.
