The memories of July 10, 1999 will never cease in the Obafemi Awolowo University memory. It will forever remain fresh as it is passed on from generation to generation while we commemorate tribute to the founding father of Great Ife Students Unionism for many reasons. George Iwilade Afrika who was hacked to pieces by members of the Black Axe Confraternity in alliance with other neighbouring cult groups wasn’t just the only victim of the bloodshed. Four other roommates (Eviano Ekelemu; a graduating student, Yemi Ajiteru; 100-Level Philosophy student, Babatunde Oke, and Ekpede Godfrey) were murdered in their sleep, as the group came for the then president of the Union, Lanre  Legacy. Prof. Roger Makanjuola account is even more descriptive: “Tunde Oke was still alive but died in the surgical theatre. Four others, George Iwilade, Yemi Ajiteru, Efe Ekede and Eviano Ekelemu, were brought in dead. Eviano Ekelemu bled to death from gunshot wounds to the groin and thigh. The other t...

Facing Cristiano Ronaldo in the final of the Confederations Cup would hold no fear for Germany midfielder Emre Can. Joachim Low’s world champions meet Mexico in Thursday’s semi-final in Sochi, with Ronaldo and Euro 2016 winners Portugal taking on Chile a day earlier in Kazan. The Real Madrid superstar has scored twice in three games in Russia, while being voted man of the match by supporters in each of Portugal’s group matches. He is prolonging a trophy hunt that yielded LaLiga and Champions League glory in 2016-17 – including five goals across both legs of the quarter-final against Bayern Munich – but Liverpool’s Can would welcome the challenge of taking on the former Manchester United favourite. “Nobody is scared of Ronaldo,” he said. “Obviously he is a world-class player, but nobody is afraid of him.” Mexico might at least be a little apprehensive over facing Julian Draxler, who has responded to taking on the captaincy of an experimental Germany squad in Russia by turni...

What makes an Embassy or Consulate reject providing you with a Schengen Visa? This is the question many people ask anytime they are about to apply for such a visa. The fact is that whenever a Schengen visa or any visa gets rejected, there is something UNSATISFACTORY as regards of that visa application. Many visa applicants get confused and unable to exactly understand the reason for their visa refusal. That is why the article will focus on presenting the commonly known reasons for such refusal. A visa application might be considered unsuccessful if the consular officer fails to get from the candidate all the needed information about him/her. Lacking to possess such information, the consular officer will be incapable of deciding if the candidate qualifies to be given a visa. On the other hand, sometimes the consular might get information from the applicant that is unacceptable or beyond the fixed procedures. Sometimes the candidate is prone of illegitimate and/or dishones...

The All Progressives Congress ( APC ) Oyo State chapter, says the on-going re-alignment of forces by the opposition political players in the state ahead of the 2019 gubernatorial election would fail. This was contained in a statement by Mr Olawale Sadare, the party’s Public Relations Officer in Ibadan on Saturday. The leaderships of opposition political parties in the state, including the Accord Party, Social Democratic Party, Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party have initiated a move to regroup against the ruling APC. The re-alignment is aimed at dislodging the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC ) in the state in the 2019 elections. Prominent among the state political leaders in the move were former Gov. Rasheed Ladoja, former Gov. Adebayo Alao-Akala, Mr Seyi Makinde and Alhaji Sharafadeen Alli. “We are a governing party that has distinguished itself as the only vehicle of good governance, peace and wholesome development desired by the majo...

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has opposed moves by Morocco to be admitted into the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). MAN, at its 45th annual general meeting (AGM) in Lagos yesterday, warned the Federal Government against supporting Morocco. It noted that the admission of the North African country will be disastrous for Nigeria. Speaking through its President, Frank Udemba Jacobs, MAN noted that admitting Morocco into ECOWAS would be equivalent to signing the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Jacobs said: “We urge the Federal Government to oppose the move as it would spell doom for the productive sector of the economy. “We are aware Morocco and the European Union (EU) have a trade agreement, which means if it becomes part of ECOWAS, products that come into Morocco from EU will end up in Nigeria. After all, Nigeria is the biggest market in ECOWAS. “So, we oppose Morocco being admitted into ECOWAS. It will affect us. We are telling our...
