ASUU Strike: Officials Confirms Postponed NEC meeting to Hold on Friday
University, Bauchi, Dr Lawan Abubakar has debunked media reports that the union had postponed its
National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting slated
for tomorrow. He restated that the leadership of
the Union postponed the scheduled NEC meeting at Bayero University, Kano, following the demise of
Festus Iyayi, a former President, who died last Tuesday in a motor accident along the Abuja-Lokoja
highway. A car in the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, had hit the vehicle conveying the deceased and some ASUU members, leading to
Iyayi's death. Others injured are presently receiving treatment.
Abubakar who spoke in Bauchi further denied that the striking lecturers had accepted the over N1trillion offered by the Federal Government. "There is no iota of truth in that. What the union is agitating for is
the full implementation of the 2009 agreement and nothing less," he said.
The Union has been on strike since July 1 over the 2009 agreement it reached with the Federal
Government. Its leadership has said it will deliberate on the current Federal Government's offer and take a
position after Friday's NEC meeting.

SSS Uncovers Boko Haram Cell in Kogi State
The suspects, who were being held by the SSS over the alleged plots to carry out attacks in Kogi State was led by a Ph.D holder, who lectures at the Kogi State University, Anyangba, Kogi State.
According to the SSS, spokes lady Marilyn Ogar, the five extremists were planning to attack the Igala ethnic community. The new cell, which the service
uncovered was plotting to launch violent attacks in Igala land. They include Muhammad Nazeef Yunus, 44 – Spiritual Leader and Recruitment Coordinator; Umar Musa, 37 –Head of Operations/ Instructor (Munzir);
Mustapha Yusuf (a.k.a Habib) 21, – Armourer/ Chief Courier, Ismaila Abdulazeez, 19, Foot soldier; and Ibrahim Isah (a.k.a One in Town) 22 – Foot soldier.
All the arrested persons were the natives of Kogi State and attended Islamic schools, where they were
indoctrinated by Yunus, himself a lecturer at the Kogi State University, Anyingba. He had graduated at the University of Medina and hold a Ph.D in Islamic Studies, and had been the Chief Instructor to the Boko Haram adherents, especially on the supremacy of the Sharia legal system, and on how to use the
Jihad to topple governments.
The SSS urged Nigerians to be vigilant and report any suspicious moves and persons to the security
agencies, stressing that the war on terror was still on. "This Service in collaboration with other
security agencies will not rest on their oars until we rid our society of all criminality. We must all remember that we are not terrorists we are Nigerians," Ogar said. He said the battle against the insurgents was a must win, adding that this would be done fast as delaying was not in the best interest of
anyone. "Within few weeks we must be able to win the fight against the insurgents" calling on his men that the oath to preserve the integrity of the nation is sacred and they must continue to demonstrate absolute loyalty to the country."
He said he was happy with "the resolution of all Nigerians to deal with this issue (terrorism). Terrorism is not the way of life of Nigeria."
Iherijika argued that Nigeria is a democratic country and "anyone who is aggrieved can join any of the political parties to express their grievances," insisting that room would not be given for dissent and lawlessness.

Golden Eaglets Defender Friday Njengo Passes Away
Njengo, a regular with the Manu Garba team during the qualifying series for the 2013 CAN U-17 Championship, during which the Eaglets thrashed Niger Republic, Guinea and Mali home-and-away, was involved in an accident with team-mate Adamu Abubakar while traveling from Jalingo to Calabar for
the team's first phase of final camping for the African Championship. The accident occurred on February 3.
"This is very sad news. We had looked forward to the boy eventually recovering to be part of the team again as the squad progresses to the next level. It is a thing of sorrow to lose such a huge talent this way,"
NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa
Amadu, said on Tuesday.
While Njengo sustained head injury in the accident, goalkeeper Adamu Abubakar was luckier and was discharged after a few days. NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, who was at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, had ordered that Njengo be moved
from the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo to the National Hospital, Abuja two days after the crash.
At the National Hospital, an operation was
performed on the player and he was thought to be recovering, though still suffering from memory lapse, until his death on Sunday night.
The Nigeria Football Federation stated on Tuesday that burial arrangements would be announced after consultations with the family.
May his Soul rest in Peace.

New Technology Preview
RAM
The new version enhanced memory direct read and write tests. It can reflect the influence of memory to overall system performance better by test the reaction speed of data flow through memory write and read. Memory capacity affects system performance to a certain extent. When the capacity exceeds a certain (1G or above), however, the impact on system
performance is limited then. Thus, a larger memory will still not get extra scores.
2D Scene
2D test of old versions has low graphics requirements. The brand new 2D test code redesigned difficulty for 2D test in the new version. It supports more 2D rendering, particle effects and it has higher requirements for GPU, which can show 2D game performance better.

Gunmen Storm Hospital in Ekiti, demand for Newborn Babies
beating up staff who could not give satisfactory answer.
A senior health officer, who pleaded anonymity, said that the armed men invaded the hospital located along Irona area at about 1:00 a.m. and suddenly began molesting medical officials on night duty. According to
the officer, the invaders, who were fully armed, are rhetorically demanding for the whereabouts of a particular baby, said to have been delivered earlier in the day. "They got more annoyed when they were told
that no baby was available in the hospital as at the time they came, it angered then the more and they went berserk,'' the officer said. This development, NAN learnt angered the men who beat up the hospital staff and injured some of them. "As a senior person on duty, I tried to convince them that all new born babies have been discharged from the centre in the last couple of days, but they refused to be convinced.
"This angered them the more and they descended on the staff beating us, some of them were busy ransacking the place in search of babies,'' the source said. When contacted, the Chairman of Ado Local
Government, Mr Tope Olanipekun confirmed the incident, saying "this is a new twist to crime in the area''. Olanipekun, who claimed to have visited the
hospital to see things for himself, described the incident as "highest point of callousness on the part of the perpetrators.'' "As I speak, the incident actually happened and I want to assure you that we are taking step to forestall a recurrence.'' The chairman said
that he had already ordered that night duty be suspended in all the hospitals in the council, pending when tight security measures, which would include
fencing of all health centres be taken.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr
Victor Babayemi, ASP, who was surprised at the
development, however said the incident was yet to be reported to the police command.

Fw: Nigeria Defeats Ethiopia to become 1st African Team to reach 2014 World Cup
-----Original Message-----

Subject: Nigeria Defeats Ethiopia to become 1st African Team to reach 2014 World Cup
Nigeria became the first African side to reach the 2014 World Cup after a 2-0 victory over Ethiopia in Calabar confirmed a 4-1 aggregate play-off win. Victor Moses coolly slotted home a first half penalty before substitute Obinna Nsofor slammed home a
late free-kick to see Nigeria through to their fifth World Cup finals in six attempts.
Efe Ambrose had the first Nigerian shot in the opening moments after Brown Ideye had broken into the Ethiopian penalty area, but the Celtic defender's effort was wild and high. Sisay Bancha then produced a wonderful double save after a seemingly innocuous
throw-in by Ahmed Musa reached Emmanuel Emenike in space inside the Ethiopia penalty area. His shot was stopped and Moses' follow up was turned behind for a corner by the Ethiopia No1.
The game then turned in Nigeria's favour as Musa received the ball on the Nigeria left and attempted a cross. Aynalem Hailu – the defender who conceded a last-minute penalty in Addis Ababa – jumped to block and was adjudged to have handled the ball. Moses
stepped up, and scored an almost identical penalty to Emenike's first leg effort, passing the ball into the bottom right-hand corner and sending Bancha the wrong way.
It was Moses' third penalty against Ethiopia in 2013, having scored two spot kicks against the Walya Antelopes at this year's Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Ogenyi Onazi then received the ball on the Nigeria right and whipped in a cross to the back post, but Ideye headed wide of the goal. The two combined again just before the interval, with Onazi's shot from distance parried by Bancha, and Ideye hitting his
follow-up over the bar.
Salahdin Ahmed found himself free of the Nigeria defence after the break, but the in-form Vincent Enyeama rushed off his line to smother the ball before the Ethiopia No7 could get his shot away. Emenike then sprinted in behind the Ethiopian defence after a through ball by Onazi, but Bancha was quickly off his line to thwart the Fenerbahce
frontman.
The match ended 2:0 in favour of Nigeria thus booking their place at next Summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Unemployed Graduate Attempts Suicide in Kwara State
Kwara state has another reason to be thankful.
The 29-year-old University graduate who battled unemployment for years decided to end it all last week at a secluded location.
Over her battle with unemployment, Esther was said to have gone to a secluded location last week Thursday to hang herself but was intercepted by one Alhaji Akeem Mustapha, who was said to have gone there to inspect a building site.
When asked why she wanted to take her life in
such manner, Esther responded that she got tired of looking for a job to no avail.
"I am from a poor background. My father is aged while my mother is no more. I struggled to see myself through school, but because I am indebted to the institution to the tune of N15,000, I have been unable to collect my certificate", she said.
Reacting to the incident, the Permanent
Secretary in the Ministry of Social Development, Culture and Tourism Samuel Osuolale Ajayi, said youths should be creative by exploring their inert potentials for economic gains instead of resorting to suicide which he said is a criminal offence.
He added that the ministry would rehabilitate
Esther, a graduate of Health Information Management from the University.
This is what many qualified graduates are going through in Nigeria today.
Hope the government can do something to help
them out.

Odo told the News Agency of Nigeria in Nsukka on Friday that her husband, Mr.John-Patrick Odo, disappeared when he realised she would give birth to triplets."It's been seven days since I put to bed, yet I
have not seen my husband. Several attempts to reach him through his telephone have failed as he switched off his mobile phone.
"I know he has no job but that should not be the reason for him to abandon me and the babies," she said of her husband of three years.
Odo appealed to the government and good
spirited individuals to come to the aid of the triplets, saying they required a lot of care to survive having been born pre-term.
"I will be very grateful to all who offer
financial help to me and my babies at this
difficult moment," she said.

Covenant University Develops Software that Checks illegal Arms Detection.
The software is known as the "Radio Frequency Identification (RID) Enabled Ammunition Depot Management System''.
It was on display at an exhibition organised
by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Research and Development centre to showcase NAF's efforts in equipment maintenance and management, in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the institution, Prof Aderemi Atayero, who presented the product, said the software had a human tracking capability and could be useful to security agencies in the country.
Atayero said the software was developed at the university in August and was the result of the institution's efforts in the area of research and development.
According to him, the technology is already in
use at the university to track the movement of staff and other key members of the university community.
In her remarks at the event, the Minister of Communication Technology, Mrs Omobola Johnson, reiterated the commitment of the present administration to support innovations by the nation's armed forces.
Johnson said that the modernisation and re-
equipping of the armed forces were of top priority to the present administration, hence its emphasis on training and re-training of its personnel.
According to Johnson, the acquisition of new and modern platforms for the armed forces and training of its personnel to handle such platforms, clearly explained government's commitment to the armed forces.
The minister said the effort to develop local capacity to maintain some of the platform and equipment was a welcomed development and should be emulated by other agencies of government.
Earlier, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, said the exhibition was put together by the reinvigorated NAF Research and Development Centre to encourage its internal mechanism for repairs and
maintenance of its equipment and aircraft.
He said that the new approach was adopted to address challenges associated with the rising cost of aircraft maintenance.
According to Badeh, NAF cannot afford to be dormant, it must strive to remain relevant even as the cost of maintenance of its platforms and equipment continue to increase.
Badeh called on other agencies of government and research institutions to collaborate with NAF to achieve its mandate in spite of the dwindling resources allocated to it.
The six commands in the Nigeria Air Force
and its Kaduna-based Institute of Technology
showcased some of their research works at
the event. The Training Command, Tactical Air Command and the Logistics Command took the first,
second and third positions respectively at the end of the exhibition assessed by some experts.
The event was attended by the Supervising Minister of Defence, Mr Labaran Maku, some
legislators, service chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police.
Other institutions that participated at the
one-day exhibition included, the University of
Lagos, Federal University of Technology, Minna and the Covenant University, Ota.
The rest included, NigComSat and the
Nigerian Air Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA). (NAN)

Top 4 Best Android Phone Trackers
Like the saying goes, they say no one is above mistakes and so no matter how careful you think you might be, losing your belongings especially your smartphone is very likely.
No matter how careful you are or how much you pay attention to your phone, there are chances of it getting lost. If you own a expensive and high end smartphone, it's bound to attract attention, even of the wrong kind.
Even though newer Android phones have a remote lock and locate facility available, it might not work as intended, so it's recommended to get a good Android device tracker app. You'll find hundreds of such apps
on the Google Play Store, but only a few of them really work well and are free, so here's a list of the top 4 free Android device tracker apps!
TOP 4 ANDROID TRACKER APPs.
1. ANDROID LOST
Android Lost is one of the most recommended apps in the security category, and for good reason. Once set up, you can control and locate your phone via a web portal or SMS. Features include remote location, data wiping, service start/stop, call list logs, alarms and much much more. Best part is, it's completely free,
so you don't have to worry about paying to get the best features!
2. WHERE's MY DROID
One of the oldest Android device tracker apps on the market, Where's My Droid is still going strong. The free version lets you locate your device, notifies on SIM change and keeps phone tracking active without draining battery. If you want to do stuff like remotely lock the phone or wipe data, you'll have to get the Pro version. One of the best features in the Pro version is the ability to activate the app via landline, great if you can't access another mobile phone.
3. PREY ANTI-THEFT
Not the most well known of apps, Prey Anti-Theft is quickly turning out to be one of my favorite Android tracker apps. Combining a great UI and easy to use functions, it should help you track down your phone in no time. Apart from the usual geolocation features,
Prey Anti-Theft also takes pictures of the person/people your phone is with from both cameras, lets you display a custom message on the screen and plays a loud alarm sound when triggered even if the phone is on silent. The paid version unlocks even more features such as unlimited device tracking, reports and real
time logs.
4. LOOKOUT ANTI-VIRUS
Lookout isn't only a tracker app, it's also an antivirus. So apart from standard location features, it takes pictures of the person using the phone and sends out a "Signal Flare" when the battery is low, plus saves the phones last location. The added ability to backup data is useful. More features like remote lock and erase come with the paid version, as well as additional backup and privacy control.
Have you ever lost an Android phone and recovered it? Do let us know your experiences and if you
think other apps should be added to the list!.
