There is lost of sympathy for ASUU – Jos Archbishop

I have lost sympathy for ASUU – Jos Archbishop

National President, ASUU, Nasir Issa-Fagge
Catholic Archbishop of Jos, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, rued the prolonged strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, saying he had lost sympathy for the lecturers.
Kaigama, who spoke at the 80th Anniversary of St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Jos, Plateau State, said that members of ASUU had lost focus on the cause for their battle.
The cleric said that ASUU, by allowing the strike to linger and allowing students to stay at home for four months running, had exhibited utter insensitivity to the plight of Nigerian students and their future.
Kaigama said, "Initially I was with ASUU, but when they have allowed the students to stay at home for four months now they begin to lose my sympathy. You don't go on a strike for a long time, especially in a sector like education, which is the bedrock of the development of any society.
"You said you are fighting for the students and have allowed them to stay at home for more than four months, you must be fighting for something else. You have made your point and all I expect is that they should have listened to all the pleadings by Nigerians, including the Catholic Bishops Conference, which has just ended its meeting in Benue State and where we appealed to ASUU, in the interest of Nigerian students, to go back to the classroom"

I’m the ultimate champion – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has hit back at claims his teams are defensive and
claims he has a "place in history" thanks to his records.

The Chelsea boss has been criticised for adopting safe tactics with
his sides, but the Portuguese insists his records speak for
themselves.

"My teams are great teams. My teams are the ones with all the goal
records. I am the champion of the League of Records. That is my place
in history," Mourinho said.

Mourinho secured back-to-back Premier League titles with Chelsea in
2005 and 2006, and won the '05 crown with a record 95 points. He also
wrestled the La Liga title off Barcelona with Real Madrid in 2012 with
a record-breaking side.

"Who is the manager of the best Real Madrid team in history? That is
me," he said. "One hundred points, 121 goals, champion against the
best Barcelona there ever has been. I am the one.

"Real Madrid was a defensive team? We scored 121 goals and got 100
points. My Chelsea was defensive? But they still have the Premier
League points record.

"Sometimes a lie that is repeated a lot fools people into thinking it
is true. Are my teams attacking? They are built to win. You have to be
dominant to win more than not so that is what my teams try to be."

Nigeria movie producer win two Oscar Award

After winning two African Oscars in the US, Nigerian movie producer
and director, John Chuka, moves closer to achieving his dream for
Nollywood.
Nigerian filmmaker based in the United States, John Chuka, finally
approaches the climax of his dream to initiate sweeping changes in the
movie industry.
Chuka's entry in the 2013 Nollywood and African Film Critics Awards,
The Fetus, wins in the Best Short Film/Trailer and the Best Original
Score/Soundtrack categories at the 2013 Nollywood and African Film
Critics Awards that was held recently in Washington DC, USA.
The feature film, which happens to be his final thesis film at the
prestigious New York Film Academy, was initially nominated in four
categories of the awards, also known as the African Oscars.  They are
the  Best Short Film/Trailer, Best Original Score/Soundtrack, Best
Visual Effects, and Best Makeup categories.
"I am proud to inform you that I returned to Los Angeles with two of
the awards at the event: the Best Short Film/Trailer and Best Original
Score/Soundtrack. This is a huge validation in the film industry in
which my future lies. The New York Film Academy made it possible and
I'm very grateful,"
The dreadlocked filmmaker is full of praises for the cast and crew of
The Fetus, especially Jessica Garza, who performed the award winning
theme song for the film, 'America the true Dream'.
Also, he attributes his success at the awards event partly to the
training that he received at the New York Film Academy as a graduate
student.
"What I consider most important about The fetus is that it cuts across
a wide range of topical and social issues and delves deep into the
effects on ordinary people, especially undocumented immigrants, that
have no voices of their own.
Now that Chuka has scaled the first hurdle, he looks forward to the
future and his immediate plan to "revolutionise" the Nigerian film
industry.
"I am working hard to float an outfit that will generate and develop
African story ideas into screenplays, transform the screenplays into
films, and ultimately distribute the films worldwide,"
