Call Off The Strike; FG Has Done Enough For Education, UNIJOS VC Tells ASUU

Mafuyai

The Vice-Chancellor of University of Jos, Prof. Hayard Mafuyai, yesterday, said the Federal Government has done enough and even shown commitment for the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU to call-off the strike.

Speaking while answering questions from journalists at the end of the year dinner and award night of UNIJOS 80-85 Alumni Group in Abuja, Mafuyai said the challenges facing the education sector in the country over the decades cannot be corrected overnight, so ASUU should call-off the strike.
“We just met with the Supervising Minister of Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, and we have been appealing to our colleagues and ASUU to do what we believe should be done, that is to call off the strike,” Mafuyai said.
“I think the Federal Government has done enough to move the education sector forward as the ills of many decades cannot be corrected overnight and we should listen to the mood of the nation to call-off the strike in the overall public interest”.
Asked about the security situation in Jos and how it has affected University of Jos, Mufuyai blamed the media for poor reportage and how it is adversely affecting socio-economic development of the university and Plateau State.

ASUU Expects Monday Meeting With FG To Be Fruitful

Hopes are high within the ranks of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, as the union is set for a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan tomorrow that the two parties will arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to the four months old strike which has paralysed the nation’s university education.
The union however expect the solution to be within the context of the implementation of the 2009 agreement, the 2012 MOU and the recommendations of the Needs Assessment Report, warning that any proposal by the Government would be based on a clear acceptance of a framework for the implementation of the 2009 agreement.
The union stated clearly that any imposition will not present a solution to the current crisis.
In a statement by Dr. Uzochukwu Onyebinama, Chairperson ASUU, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia state, ASUU urged the President “to be guided by the principle of honouring agreements in the interest of justice and industrial harmony in the country”.

“As the National leadership of our union, the Academic Staff Union of Universities meet with his Excellency, President Goodluck Jonathan, tomorrow 4th November 2013 [tomorrow], we hope that the meeting will be a dialogue that will lead to a mutually acceptable fair and far reaching solution within the context of the implementation of the 2009 agreement, the 2012 MOU and the recommendations of the Needs Assessment Report.
“Any proposal by government should be based on a clear acceptance of a framework for the implementation of the 2009 agreement. Any imposition will not present a solution to the current crisis.
“We therefore call on the President and Commander- in- chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to be guided by the principle of honouring agreements in the interest of justice and industrial harmony in the country”, the statement said.

Nigeria’s 5 Worst Dressed Celebrities (Photos)

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We have so many best dressed celebrities lately cos it seems every one ‘em wanna look superb, even tho some go the extra mile just to look good at events or gatherings, so they are bringing up their ‘A’ game.
A best dressed person is someone who is perfectly styled, decently dressed, someone who has charisma, captivating look, has a very good combination and most importantly the dressed most fits you.. Even if you are wearing cheap material you still make the dress look expensive..
Best dressed is totally different from being fashionable… Being fashionable is the combination of good or bad or crazy or weird materials together just to make you unique. You can be fashionable by looking crazy or weird but can’t be best dressed looking crazy or awkward..
So here are the list of worst dressed celebrities in no particular order:

1. Rukky Sanda : She’s an actress, I’m sure you know her right.. She’s got a great body but she doesn’t dress spectacularly but always careless with her dressing.. Do you guys still remember the nip slip and also the tight leggings showing her crotch?

2. Modenine: As long as I am concerned, the rapper still remains the worst dressed Nigerian rapper.. He’s a very good and talented artiste but being talented doesn’t necessarily transcend into your dressing… Modenine is one artiste that wears big blazers to an award show in a hot weather.

3. Denrele: Denrele is one of the most fashionable people… He’s not best dressed he’s just got the taste and eyes for fashion.. The Crazy looking guy is far from being best dressed but he’s got a fashion statement that makes him standout and unique.. Looking like Denrele does not make you a best dressed but a worst dressed.. No parent would allow his or her child to grow up and look like Denrele *lol*

4. Mercy Johnson: She still remains the sexiest nollywood actress, but in terms of dressing; it is a no no. She’s one actress that doesn’t know how to put it together despite her hourglass shape.. Mercy Johnson is one of worst dressed actress but one of the most talented actress ever..

5. Charly Boy: Area father still remains worst dressed celebrity of all time, he’s a legend and he started this weird and scary look even before we knew about Denrele. Charly boy is totally fashionable but still remains the scariest worst dressed celebrity of all time.. At some point I thought he was gonna change his dress sense cos he’s a grandfather, he has grown up kids oooo. We love area father but not his dressing..

Confusion Rocking Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment?!

Its no longer news that there is some hot smoke emerging from Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment Record label.
The gist is that LAX is about to set up his own label reason being that Wizkid allegedly cheated him from the proceeds made from their hit single, Caro.
Wizkid who floated his record label during his fight with EME’s boss banky W has landed himself in similar mess with his newly signed artist just right after there first single.
LAX is now set to establish his own music label to be called SMR Entertainment.
Like they say, what goes around comes around.

Nigerians To Experience 7 Days Of Darkness

Nigerians will experience a week-long electricity rationing that will put the country into darkness for the period.

This will be the longest period in recent years that the country would be faced with blackout.
The development is coming few days after the Federal Government declared that its hand-over of the assets and facilities of PHCN including generation and distribution plants to private firms was successful.
The authorities had explained that the problem was due to the loss of 400 megawatts following repair works being carried out by the  Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), the major suppliers of gas to the power plants particularly Afam VI Power plant.

The management of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in a statement in Abuja yesterday said there would be a reduction in generation output by 400mw, from today to Saturday, November 9, 2013. According to the statement, “this is due to the Shell Petroleum Development Company’s (SPDC) scheduled maintenance work on Okoloma gas plant supplying gas to Afam VI Power Plant, thereby leading to the shutdown of the power plant, resulting in nationwide power rationing.”
It explained further that the shutdown of Afam VI power plant became necessary to allow SPDC inspect and carry out routine maintenance work on the Okoloma natural gas station in Afam, Rivers State, to ensure its technical integrity.
“Maintenance work on Okoloma gas plant, SPDC revealed was important to guarantee continuous and uninterrupted supply of gas to Afam VI for power generation into the national grid.”

The Top 10 Sexiest Nollywood Stars, Male + Female

As the year slowly draws to an end,  the quest of discovering the Sexiest men and women in the movie industry also creeps on us.
Fresh development has seen Benjamin Joseph and Nadia Buari taking their bow, wth the top ten emerging for the final lap.
This is how it presently stands: -
————————————————————————
Men
————————————————————————
-Yul Edochie: Yul hasn’t got anything to worry about almost from the beginning of the ‘quest’. The first spot for him has been a sort of birthright.
-Ramsey Nouah: Ramsey is still on second but for him to remain so or move up, he will need all the help he can get. Shaking at 2nd.
-Benson Okonkwo: Benson started as a low shot who is beginning to ride home like a prince in shinning armor. Each week has been an eventful one. Holding on to 3rd.
-Pope Odowondo: There hasn’t been much separating Pope from Benson until a couple of weeks back when he let slip on his hold, thus allowing Benson a thrust forward. 4th place still.
-Uti Nwachukwu: Uti always looked like a trouble brewing. Now as we come to the next phase he has overtaken Frank Artus, who is looking more shaky everyday. Uti is now 5th
-Frank Artus: The Ghanaian star is practically living on the edge after having pushed to the 3rd spot and then finding himself on 6th place now.
-Ali Nuhu: Ali has been the quiet one, though, not without some measure of strength pushing him along. This gut seems to have a faithful follower-ship that don’t give up easily. 7th place not bad.
-Van Vicker: Another Ghanaian that started like a train ready to devour everything along its path, but somehow lost the will to fight. He started on 2nd, 3rd but now chilling at 8th position.

-Odunlade Adekola: The only Yoruba star left in the ‘quest’ and this may turn out to be a strength rather than a weakness but whichever way it swings, a couple of months is all that is there to see. On 9th position.
-Mike Ezuruonye: Mike was looking like a guy on his way out a couple of weeks back but by some touch of genius he is still in the reckoning. Last man in at 10th place.
————————————————————————
Women
————————————————————————-
-Tonto Dikeh: Tonto is now hanging on to the first place with all the tenacity she can muster because the next person to her is breathing hot down her neck.

-Ebube Nwabo: Still keeping her 3rd spot even though Yvonne looks to be having bad intentions week in, week out about her. The duo are also having a tussle of sort.
-Yvonne Nelson: Yvonne is still at 4th place but very restless. Though she lost her grip when she moved to 2nd at a point but she’s coming back so strong again.
-Angela Okorie: Angela has the funniest story among the lots. At a point she was put up for eviction, then surviving it, she seemed to develop a phobia for the exit as she has pushed herself up to 5th place.
-Colette Orji: Colette too has had a scary time at one point or the other but she has survived and is still surviving. She holds on to the 6th place.
-Biodun Okeowo: Biodun is also the only Yoruba actress remaining in the ‘quest’ and what a week she has had as she has moved to 7th place.
-Queeneth Hilbert: Queeneth is as good as they come even though she has had some turbulent stay in the quest. She’s now on 8th spot.
-Cynthia Agholor: Cynthia isn’t having a bad run, it is just that the ‘quest’ is getting more intense and too erratic for anyone to be able to stick to anything. She remains on 9th spot.
-Rita Dominic: Our leading lady isn’t having a fairytale outing in this ‘Sexiest’ business. She has come short of expectation but hanging on by the strand of her hair at 10th place.

Shekau Boasts On Leading Latest Damaturu Attacks… Says Dialogue Won’t Work

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has claimed that he personally led the October 24^th attack on security formations in Damaturu Yobe State which left many persons dead.

In a 28 minutes video titled “Gazwatu Damaturu” (the “Battle of Damaturu), the most wanted Nigerian terrorist claimed that it was one of the most successful operations of his group because they seized a large cache of arms and ammunitions.
Shekau, who spoke intermittently in Arabic, Hausa and Kanuri languages, vowed that his group will keep on fighting until they establish Sharia system in Nigeria.
“Look at what happened in Damaturu. I do not need to disclose the number of troops that we killed. Glory is to God. We know how much we killed among them… I do not need to tell you. According to him, “We carried out the Damaturu attacks with Allah’s help, with Allah’s Might, with Allah’s Glory and with victory from Allah, The Creator.
In the video, cache of arms, including Ak47 rifles, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and countless ammunition were displaced.
Shekau said, “This is a glad tiding to our brethren. These weapons you are seeing, it is Allah that blessed His servants that are waging Jihad to establish Islam in Nigeria. All these weapons were seized in just one town and what it shows is that Nigerian rulers – traditional and secular – are liars, he said.

“Someone will be saying dialogue is ongoing with a faction. This is not the way to bring disunity among a community that is working with the Qur’an to establish Islam”.
It would be recalled that many people were killed when suspected Boko Haram members attacked the headquarters of the 233 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Kukareta in the outskirt of Damaturu; the police criminal investigation department (CID) office, police area command office, Mobile base and C division police station all along Gujba road, Damaturu as well as many checkpoints, public buildings and private residential quarters in the North-east town of Damaturu.

Man Sleeps With Best Friend’s Skeleton For 13 Years

A 47 year old man from Brazil has been found living with the skeleton of his best friend who died 13 years ago.

Fabio Beraldo Rigol moved in to the cemetry after going broke and being abandoned by his family over his drug addiction.
The former broker only leaves to go into Santa Isabel, Brazil, to ask for food. He claims he found himself penniless and homeless after his business folded and he started using drugs .
He said: “I’m more afraid of the living than the dead. I’ve never seen a ghost. It gets a bit quiet here sometimes, but I’m not a big talker, so it suits me. I’m not very good around living people.
“I had to leave the house, and I ended up wandering the streets. One night it was raining hard. I don’t remember how, but when I woke up I was here in the graveyard.”

On most days he leaves the graveyard to ask for food in the town centre.
He said: “When it’s raining I stay inside. I never want for anything. When I need people there is always someone who gives it to me. God never lets me go hungry.”
But Mr Rigol said he doesn’t intend to stay in the cemetery until his own time comes.
He added: “I want to get out of here alive. I still want to have my own house, even if it’s just a bedroom and a bathroom. I want to go back to work if there’s a chance. My live hasn’t finished yet.”

“Tu tu tutututu, tu tu tutu tut tutu tu tutu”
Ghen Ghen Ghen!
Phew! Let’s do this. Before we go into this story, I want every one of my dear readers to know say we at Amebo Pulse, do not support breakups, or heartbreaks. Neither do we condone any attempted attempted attempt to scatter any man-woman matter wey sweet. We encourage quick-quick marriage, and work hard to support their waka. What God has joined together, let no olofofo put axe under.
Let’s go!
During that month when the Big Brother Africa was on TV, I was one happy man. I was happy for the BBA because it felt like Christmas had come early. Whenever I turn on the TV, na so so flexing we go dey see. Left, right, centre.
One fine bobo go dey eye one fine chick. Another man with one hungry look, and fat bulges in his trousers go dey run round the house like dog wey wan born pikin. If I make mistake wait small, Jesu! Na so we go dey see naked people dey bath, some dey play, others dey kiss, and then others go carry themselves go one quiet corner go do….you know na. Nosense dirty mind. Na my mouth you wan hear say no be today wey yansh don dey stay for back. (So said Abraham Lincoln).
Enjoyment No be small. Tu tu tututu “Tu tu tutututu, tu tu tutu tut tutu tu tutu”
I so loved BBA sotay, during my quiet time, BBA was my number one prayer point. Every day I got down on my knees, closed my eyes, sip one shot of Schnapp, then begin to pray; “O lord, may Boko Haram never bomb the BBA, may their  fine faces never grow old, may all the badbelle prayers of Nigerian Christians never be answered, and may Beverly Osu no carry belle. Amen”.

Amen somebody!

Beverly Osu entered that BBA House with a list of missions; 1. To talk like say she never see gist before.
2. To find love. Even if na one weed-smoking Rastafarian.
3. To get ‘fingered’ and also, to have hot sex! Boom!
And since she’s a determined go-getter, hmmm, the girl achieve everything o. First she talked about everything, and everyone. How she was a runs girl, how her father had his ass waxed by aliens, how she crucified Satan, and killed Holy Mary. Na she born Jesus.  Virgin Beverly Osu.
She also found one ugly South African Rastafarian who smokes weed for nutrition, and talks like he’s spent his entire life at the Dentistry. And yes, I Amebo Pulse, fine pass the bobo times 100. If God made anything finer than me, he kept it for himself, and named it one sweet angelic name. Amebo-iel. But Beverly no see me. The lady grab this bobo, begin dey kiss am like say him mouth na Iyaba Sera Kpomo. Then she allowed him finger her. And later, boom! The guy  port go. She had awesome sex.
After all my prayers, BBA still end, Beverly no win the money, her boyfriend still no win the money too. So both of them carried themselves out. Beverly came home to angry hypocritical Nigerians, and Angelo go back SA to further his career in weedology (the eternal study of marijuana). Later Beverly had her birthday, and the guy carry him small kpomo mouth come Lagos. He ate Ewa Agoyin, and drank Alomo. After the party, him and Beverly off the lights, and…..you know na.  heheheheheh.
Later, he went back to South Africa (with all the 3 points), and broke up with Beverly.  My very own Beverly Osu.
See what he wrote; “I love u guys, even the ones that hate… right now I need clarity… not chaos & scrutiny; I need to focus on what’s important, my youth development programs and my family. I don’t think I should be in a relationship right now; it overshadows what I really wanna do; I hope u guys can respect me for my decision… thanks to everyone that supported me.”
In order words, he haff dump Beverly!
After all the Kpomo-eating, and fingering, the man has decided to dump my sweet Bevrly Osu. The girl wey fine like winch. Chai. It is not good o.
Beverly won’t cry for you. No. That girl is strong. Anybody who got fingered and had sex on international TV either has the heart of a Lion, or the mind of a criminal. Beverly is fine. She’s sexy, she’s super hot. She deserves more than that SA Rastafarian. She deserves Amebo Pulse.
Come to me Beverly. We’ll play love. Sweet bush love. We’ll eat Amala in the morning, smoke marijuana in the afternoon. Bath in Rivers of Kai-kai mixed with Agbo. At night we will hunt bush dogs, and make love on plantain leaves.
I love you Beverly. Talk your own.

5 Home Remedies For Sore Throat

Let’s talk about the five best ways to cure a sore throat without turning to toxic chemicals or knocking yourself out.

1) Echinacea: This wonderful herb comes in tea and supplement form and has been proven to work with the same efficiency and quickness as the over the counter alternatives. You can buy it just about anywhere, and you can read more about it over here.
2) Sea Salt Water: Many of us have heard the old wives tale of gargling salt water to improve a sore throat. I don’t know about you, but I always discredited it until recently when I read a study that confirms it – Gargling salt water can soothe your throat.
3) Turmeric Tea: Turmeric is a natural healer for a lot of ailments, but one thing it does well is cure a sore throat. Why? It’s packed full of vitamins that help boost your immune system and cleanse your body. Want to learn to make it into a tea? Check out a recipe here.

4) Apple Cider Vinegar: What’s great is that if you add this to a tea with a little bit of honey, you’ve got a soothing warm drink that is sure to knock out your sore throat in a pinch.
5) Steaming: This remedy is debatable and the studies on it are limited, but from personal experience, it helps. Either take a warm shower, sit in the bathroom with the steam in full effect, or do a “steam tent” over a bowl of hot water to feel the relief.
When you’re trying to cure a sore throat, remember to get lots of rest and water; as a side note – please don’t give any remedies involving honey to children under two years old as infants can have adverse reactions to honey.

“If You Can’t Pay, Don’t Call Me” – Mercy Johnson To Movie Marketers

Star actress, Mercy Johnson, has decided to call the bluff of movie marketers who vowed to ban her for being too expensive, telling them to stop calling her for movie jobs if they cannot afford her fee.
The marketers, it was alleged, had planned to blacklist her because of her exorbitant fee which is in the region of N1.8 to N2 million naira but Mama Purity has told them to go to hell if they cannot pay her. She advised the marketers complaining about her fees and services to try other actresses if they can’t afford her. The marketers want to follow the example they set some few years ago when they placed a blanket ban on actors they felt were too expensive. Some of those affected then included Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Ramsey Noauh, and others.
But Mercy seems not to be perturbed with the threat. Apart from her tweets to that effect, she had this words for them: “what’s wrong when you keep quiet till you know what’s up? No petition, no complain, just fees. Those who can’t afford Heineken should stick to ‘Kain kain’ (local gin consumed in Nigeria

9 Tell-Tale Signs He’s Not Into You

Here are signs he does not want to be your man

1. He’s Not “Around” You:
This is probably the number one tell-tale sign that lets you know if a guy is into you or not. If he’s not into you, then he’ll surely not be “around” you. Even though when a guy is attracted to a woman, he’ll act in many different ways (he might tease her, he might ignore her, he might be annoying), but at the end of the day, he’s always “around” her when he’s doing this. If a guy is into you, he’ll find reasons to be close to you. You’ll notice him popping up in your vicinity. This is something that you probably didn’t notice initially, but once you realize it, you’ll start to see it all the time.
2. He’s Not Interested In Talking To You:
It can’t get any more straightforward than this. If he doesn’t have an interest in you, he won’t have an interest in talking to you. The key here is to not automatically assume that he’s not interested in talking to you because he’s afraid of making the first move, or takes a long time to reply to your texts. A lot of guys have all sorts of weird texting habits, but the general, not-interested-in-talking-to-you issue should be apparent over the long run. You need to see if he actually has ample opportunities to text you or talk to you, and then based on those, decide whether or not he chooses to take those opportunities or simply ignores them.
Finally, if you’re talking but he always seems to be the one who’s trying to end the conversation, that’s another clear sign that he’s not actually interested in talking to you.
3. He Talks To You Like He Does With His Friends:
This is actually quite easy to spot. If he always talks to you in a casual tone of voice, similar to how he does with his friends, then he’s probably not into you. When a guy is interested, there’s always at least a slight variation in how he goes about speaking with you, a variation that proves he’s interested. He has a special way of talking to you, or extends some special kind of attention — something that he doesn’t do with anyone else.
One of the best things you can do is to observe his behavior with other people; that way it will allow you to judge if how he’s acting with you is any different.
4. He Has No Problem Telling You About The Girls He Likes:
Yet another clear-cut sign that he’s not interested. Make sure you don’t confuse this with the occasional story about some girl — all guys do that from time to time, and it really isn’t a big deal. However, if you talk to a guy and he’s having no trouble telling you about all the girls he likes, the girls he’ll sleep with and any other fantasies of this nature, on a regular basis, you can take that as a clear sign that he’s not that into you. If he was, he wouldn’t be telling you about all these other ladies.
5. Bad Body Language:
If he avoids eye contact, sits with his body away from you, doesn’t try to keep the conversation going, or generally maintains a distance from you, you can take all of these as signs that he’s not interested.

6. He Doesn’t Seem To Have Any Time For You:
I hate flaking. When a woman flakes, I learn two very important things. First of all, she is probably not into me, and secondly, she is probably not worth my time.
On that note, if a guy is flaky, cancels plans and doesn’t reschedule, he is not interested in you. Quite frankly, if he misses two consecutive dates, you can be absolutely sure of this. Missing one date is one thing, but if he really wants to see you, believe me, he will make the time and put in the effort.
7. He Seems To Flirt With You, But Also With Everyone Else:
As mentioned on point 3, noticing a guy’s behavior with other people is critical in determining whether or not he’s into you. If you think he’s flirting with you, look closely at how he acts around other women; does he seem to flirt with them too? He might just be that flirty guy, and the fact that he acts that way around you means nothing.
8. He’s Friendly To You, But Also To Everyone Else:
Again, this is another reason why you need to pay attention to his behavior. You might think he’s overly friendly with you, but in fact, he’s just a friendly, social, outgoing guy. If you see that his behavior is no different with you than with any other person, that’s a clear sign that he doesn’t have any particular or special interest in you.
9. He Keeps His Feelings Hidden:
Although this issue is probably more prevalent in relationships, if you’re seeing a guy for quite some time and he has a hard time talking about his feelings, or seems to keep them all hidden, that’s a common sign he’s not interested. If a guy is into you, he’ll generally let you know about those feelings sooner or later. If you’re unsure about this issue, the best thing you can do is to give him some more space. Just make sure you don’t waste your time on him.

Jim Iyke Slams Marriage Rumors

Blogs and social media were filled with the rumor that Nollywood’s bad boy turned born again, Jim Iyke, was making plans to walk down the alter with Ghollywood superstar Nadia Buari.
The actor and reality TV star came out on Twitter to claim the marriage rumors, stating that they were all unfounded and false.
Hmmm, that’s all they always say. Lets watch and see though.

ASUU INSISTS ON 2009 PACT

Again, govt seeks end to strike 
AGAINST the backdrop of reports that the Federal Government intends to use Monday’s meeting to compel the reopening of universities, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that any proposal not based on a clear acceptance of a frame-work for implementing the 2009 agreement would not be acceptable.
  The union further warned against the threat of forceful reopening of universities, stating that it would be the height of dictatorship and would deepen the present crisis in the education sector rather than end the union’s ongoing industrial action.
  Chairman of Bauchi Branch and member of ASUU National Working Committee, Dr. Lawan Abubakar, declared Sunday: “It is our hope that the meeting of ASUU leaders with the President scheduled for Monday (today) will be a dialogue leading to a mutually acceptable, fair and far-reaching solution based on the implementation of the FGN-ASUU 2009 agreement.”
  His declaration came as Vice President and Chairman of the Federal Government’s negotiation team, Namadi Sambo, called on the ASUU to end the protracted strike in the interest of students and the nation.
  Speaking yesterday at the commissioning of Bauchi State University at Gadau, Sambo said that about N2.2 billion had been approved for the university as a special intervention fund by the Federal Government.
  He assured that government would continue to support and partner the state on education, stating that no nation would grow without education. Sambo said the Federal Government had embarked on total rehabilitation of railways, development of irrigation farming and training of youths on ICT to create wealth and improve the economy of citizenry.
  However, Abubakar maintained that the outcome of today’s dialogue must also include the January 24, 2012 Memorandum of Understanding and the recommendations of the 2012 Needs Assessment Report on Nigerian public universities.
  According to him, anything short of implementing the 2009 agreement will not be a solution to the present crisis. He called on President Goodluck Jonathan to honour the agreement for justice and industrial harmony.
  From the Secretary of University of Ibadan (UI) chapter, Dr. Ayodeji Omole, came the submission that the Federal Government’s reported plan to forcefully reopen the universities could portray the government as anti-democratic.
  Omole said that while the union welcomes the invitation of ASUU to a meeting today (Monday), it would be unacceptable to the striking teachers if government does not come out with a clear agenda for implementing the 2009 agreement.
  He asked President Goodluck Jonathan to set good example by sticking to agreements and promoting justice and industrial harmony, noting that ASUU is a body of intellectuals and that its members were ready to pursue the revitalisation of public education to a logical end.
  Also, Chairman of the University of Uyo Branch, Nwachukwu Anyim, has expressed fears over the proposed meeting with government. In a statement in Uyo, Ayim said the union appreciates Mr. President’s interest but is worried that such optimism might not yield desired results.
  “Ordinarily, the invitation by the President would give the impression that the resolution of the strike was on the horizon,” he said.
  “While hoping that the Federal Government would see reason to finally resolve the issues in contention, we urge well-meaning Nigerians and stakeholders to persuade government to implement the agreement with the union in order to save Nigeria’s public universities.”
  Also yesterday, a statement from the ASUU Zonal Co-ordinator, University of Abuja Chapter, Dr. Clement Chup, said it would be unacceptable to members if the Federal Government fails to come up with a clear agenda for implementing the 2009 agreement.
  “We wish to further state that while our union looks forward to an immediate resolution of the impasse through government’s commitment to implementing the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, we shall not in any way be intimidated into jeopardising the future of our students, and by implication, the country, through half measures or by coercion,” he said.

Equine dining? Horse meat now a possible menu item in U.S. after court sets new precedent

• Lawsuit brought forward by animal protections group Humane Society and filed in New Mexico
• Suit claims that three companies were being granted approval to slaughter horses without proper checks from the Department of Agriculture, calling for permanent halt in killing horses for human consumption
• Suit alleged horses were being given medications not approved for livestock, resulting in pollutant waste
• Judge dismisses the claims saying the 'grants of inspection were properly issued'

A District judge in New Mexico has tossed out a lawsuit attempting to permanently halt the slaughter of horses, potentially allowing for the resumption of equine meat as food in the United States.
The lawsuit, filed by the animal protection group Humane Society, alleged that the Department of Agriculture had failed to carry out environmental reviews before giving approval to three separate companies to slaughter horses for human consumption.
Horse meat cannot be sold as food in the United States, but it can be exported.
The meat is sold for human consumption in China, Russia, Mexico and other countries and is sometimes used as feed for zoo animals.
Nearly 159,000 horses were exported from the United States to Canada and Mexico during 2012, most likely for slaughter, officials said.
The companies at the center of the lawsuit was Valley Meat Co. in Roswell, New Mexico, Responsible Transportation in Iowa and Rains Natural Meats in Missouri, reports NBC.

But in a 33-page ruling, Chief United States District Judge Christina Armijo concluded 'that the grants of inspection were properly issued'.
She dismissed the lawsuit and denied a request for permanent injunction sought by the plaintiffs.
Humane Society alleged that horses are being given medications not approved for livestock so the waste products of slaughterhouses may include pollutants.

Following Armijo's ruling, their lawyers lodged a notice to appeal the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
The Humane Society said in a statement it would 'not only appeal the decision, but also work with the states to block the plants from opening in Iowa, Missouri and New Mexico and step up its efforts in Congress to stop the slaughter of American horses'.

Animal groups have argued for years about whether a ban on slaughter would save horses from an inhumane death or cause owners to abandon animals they no longer want or cannot afford to feed and treat for illness.

Congress effectively banned horse slaughter in 2006 by saying the USDA could not spend any money to inspect the plants.
Without USDA inspectors, slaughterhouses cannot operate.
The ban had been extended a year at a time as part of USDA funding bills.
Groups have argued for years about whether a ban on slaughter would save horses from an inhumane death or cause owners to abandon animals they no longer want or cannot afford to feed and treat for illness.
