stop running post HND,PGD..FG warns POLYS

Abuja – The Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufai, has warned polytechnics undertaking the post-graduate diploma programmes to stop, saying it is not part of their mandate. Rufa’i gave the warning on Monday in Abuja at the inauguration of the governing councils for the National Teachers Institute, National Educational Research Development Council, 15 federal polytechnics and 19 federal colleges of education. She directed that henceforth, no polytechnic convocation would hold without issuance of certificates to graduating students. The minister also ordered that the provosts and registrars of colleges of education must sign NCE certificates as obtained in polytechnics and universities. “The provosts and registrars of colleges of education should sign NCE certificates as obtained in polytechnics and universities. “Issuance of certificates to graduating students is a prerequisite for approval for holding convocations; thus no certificate, no conv

Two people chelsea will love to have next season

There are two people that most Chelsea fans want to see at Stamford Bridge next season. One of them is Jose Mourinho to return to take over the club and start the second coming of the Abramovich era and the other is Radamel Falcao!. According to the written press this morning, Mourinho has all but sealed his return and has instructed Roman Abramovich to do whatever it takes to go out and sign Falcao. There are differing reports in the media over the fee for the Colombian striker but the general consensus is that a fee of around £45-£50m will persuade Atletico to sell him. One report even states that the buyout clause in his contract is around £51m. If Atletico refuse to budge, Roman will activate the clause by paying the money and then it comes down to the player negotiations. One paper has reported that Falcao could earn as much as £200,000 per week if he were to come to Stamford Bridge but as I said yesterday, the stumbling block could be his partner who is

4_0 is a big disgrace for me:MESSI

Lionel Messi has described Tuesday’s 4-0 humiliation Barcelona suffered in the hands of Bayern Munich as “a disgrace”. The Argentine forward and his team mates were completely outclassed and outmuscled by the Bavarians and have a huge task at the Camp Nou to salvage anything from the tie. “It’s 4-0 and it will be difficult because they are a great team,” Messi told reporters. “They were a lot stronger than us – physically superior in fact. It’s a disgrace what happened, but we have to go on. “We’ll try to score at home and do our best. We must go on. Now we must win La Liga soon.” Messi has not played for the Spanish giants, since he came off the bench to help them oust Paris Saint-Germaine, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but waved aside talk that his fitness was key. “It was some days since I played and I didn’t feel 100% comfortable but I was not injured, so I could play,” the 25- year-old insisted. @LastßornNews(07060428346)

Comedy have done everything for me:BASKETMOUTH

Recently, Bright Okpocha “the world famous Nigerian comedian” popularly known as Basketmouth was interviewed by the guys at YES International! Basketmouth was asked to state what comedy has done for him and he has this to say: Oh! There’s nothing! There’s nothing, man! Comedy has done everything for me. Comedy has given me a reason to be a better person, a reason to work hard, because making people laugh is my dream; it’s an accomplishment for me, and comedy has given me a reason to do all these things. Comedy has given me a career, comedy has put food on my table at the same time. So, comedy is my life, comedy is what I do, and comedy is me. I didn’t choose to be a comedian, comedy chose me and that’s the reason I cannot disengage myself from comedy. It’s done everything. It’s done every single thing that I want. It’s even done more things than it’s done for a banker (Laughs). – Basketmouth @LastßornNews(07060428346)

"It would be nice, whoever comes in, to have a good crack at consistency and staying in the job and I think the fans would be happier if we get a manager who can stay more than half a season," he told The Sun.

@LastßornNews(07060428346) Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has come to the defence of his under-fire teammate Fernando Torres. The £32million summer signing believes Torres has been unfairly treated by critics of the Stamford Bridge and insisted the Spaniard would come good again. Hazard even claimed Chelsea’s £50million record signing was criticised more than any other player in football and feels he has to deal with greater pressure. The Blues winger then voiced his confidence that Torres would stay with Chelsea and continue to find the net. “He's the most criticised player in the world. When we play bad they all say that it is his fault,” he reportedly told French newspaper l’Equipe . “However, he will remain with us and he will continue to make a lot of goals for us.” Torres has failed to fire in the Premier League this season only scoring seven times but has been in good form in the Europa League of late. While much criticism has been thrown at him

@LastßornNews(07060428346) Don't mean to put this lady on blast but she has refused to leave me alone...even going as far as threatening to sue me...lol. I think she wants some kind of publicity...so here we go! Hehe! So I've been getting mails from this lady called Onyinye (pictured above right, and left with Flavour).
