The United Kingdom government has finally accepted Nigeria’s classification of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation. Following widespread killings and acts of lawlessness, the Nigerian government designated IPOB a terrorist group in 2017. But some foreign countries, including UK, which IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, holds its passport, did not acknowledge the declaration at the time. However, four days after the outlawed group beheaded an army couple, who were on their way to Imo State for their traditional wedding, UK acknowledged IPOB as a terrorist organisation, directing that it should be excluded from its asylum programme. Although the killing, which sparked nationwide outrage, was not among the atrocities of the Nnamdi Kanu-led terror group the UK listed in its policy review document, the action was taken a few days after the murder. The acts of the terrorist group listed by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), a division of the British Home Office, were the ...
Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, has warned that his former club could still lose out on finishing in the top four places. The Gunners bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in midweek to beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday. The win opened a four-point gap between Mikel Arteta’s men and Manchester United in fifth place. However, Keown feels that their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur who are currently seventh with 48 points, could clinch the last Champions League spot. “Now there’s a lot of games ahead and I still put Spurs as favourites to make top four. Let’s see if they can do it. Arsenal, we have now got to see, but when I look at the fixtures and I see games away at Chelsea, Spurs, it’s tough. It’s in Arsenal’s hands and if they keep performing as they are they can do it. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on the Arsenal players. I said they are rebuilding their reputation and sometimes they’ve been guilty of too many pats on the back and they’ve lost con...
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock examination will now hold on April 9, and not April 16 as earlier scheduled. The board made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar on Monday in Abuja. JAMB said that the change was due to the realisation that April 16, earlier scheduled, was an Easter Saturday; a holy Saturday, celebrated by Christians to mark the end of the Lent period before Easter Sunday. Easter Saturday; a holy Saturday, celebrated by Christians to mark the end of the Lent period before Easter Sunday. The board also noted that the date for the exercise had been affected also by the shift in date for the registration of the UTME and Direct Entry (DE), which was earlier scheduled for Feb.12, but later commenced on Feb.19. It, however, urged all candidates who registered and would want to sit for the mock exercise to note the change of date and be prepared. The News Agency ...
Leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) led by its’ President, Biodun Ogunyemi Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo (1909 – 1987) was Premier of the Western Region from 1952 to1959, seven years in total, yet the profound influence he has on Nigerian education lingers on from the 20th to the 21st Century. Perhaps it would be there forever, nobody can say. Therefore, it is possible for a thoughtful policy to influence any aspect of society. So with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). It does not matter if the policy was followed or not, by future governments or institutions. In the case of ASUU, it was not followed. In spite of that, ASUU has influenced not only the universities but both the primary and secondary education. I am not sure of pre-primary education. ASUU was formed in 1987 not only to look after the welfare of the members of the intellectual class of the universities, but also the welfare of Nigerians altogether. They did this by joining the...
The need for some attractiveness is almost universal among men who are involved in relationships. Some men have gotten into the habit of spending a lot of money on body creams, lotions, and even clothes in order to preserve their attractiveness in front of their partner and perhaps other women they come across. However, a man who wants to increase his attractiveness must first realize that it is a broad notion that encompasses more than just one's physical features or complexion; it also includes one's attitude, self-assurance, personal hygiene, and a positive outlook toward other people and situations.

As part of this, you should constantly have a pleasant scent, maintain a healthy dental hygiene routine, and dress neatly. Most women respond favorably to men who maintain a...
