STUDENTS' UNION GOVERNMENT PRESS RELEASE
.
Fellow Lions and Lionesses,
In the spirit of a new and blessed week, we bring you greetings. We want to thank God for a very wonderful weekend and also thank our amiable Vice-chancellor, Prof. Chukwuma Ozumba for his efforts so far channeled towards improving students welfare. This is very evident in the constant power supply we have been receiving since after our break and also, the water project that was completed over the weekend. We are much delighted and very grateful with this development. The VC has shown responsiveness towards matters that primarily concern students welfarism, and we are proud of him. Ndi Igbo siri na " eto dike na nke omere, ome òzó." We encourage him to do more.
For those of us that are not aware, the most basic needs of students this government promised have been provided. These needs include; constant power supply, availability of clean water, students I.D cards, security, e.t.c. In one of our press releases we enjoined students not to be antsy as all hands were being placed on deck to ensure improved welfarism.
Talking about the water project, the works department is through with the pipe fixing and water has started running evidently. Now, it should be on record that any day water does not run, we should all know that the problem is not internal(from school) rather it is from the Enugu state water corporation. We have been given the tickets to enjoy perpetual supply of water till we graduate, courtesy of the VC, prof Ozumba and the SUG 2014/2015 led by Comr. Ilogebe.
For those of us that haven't gotten the news of the bio-data collection for our ID card production, please, we will state once more; go to ICT beside Access bank PLC and submit your details.
Environmental sciences- Monday
Law- Tuesday
Business Administration- Wednesday
Medical sciences- Thursday

We specially thank the security department for tightening up security within campus. We haven't received any complaint since resumption. This goes a long way to show that everybody is working, both the school Administration and the SUG. Your prayers is still the only key to the success of us all.
we felicitate with our beloved associations, LAWSA,NUAMBS & NUASA as their students' week commences today. The SUG is fully in support of their programs. Students should feel free to participate in their activities so as to foster stronger association ties and in the end, UNEC shall be ONE.
On this note, we want to warn sternly, that, any attempt or attempted attempt by any unscrupulous person(s) geared towards destabilizing the peaceful and ambient studying environment of this prestigious and noble varsity will be met with a very strong opposition and consequence. There is an elected government and every/any grievance(s) must/should be channeled through the union. We stand firmly to state that this government shall not take any form of insubordination from any of her member(s) henceforth. To be fore warned is to be fore armed. Gracias!

The name of Messi saves kidnapped Argentine in Nigeria
The agricultural engineer was abducted on a deserted
road in Kontagora last week but has now regained his freedom after
spending three days in captivity
An Argentine man who was kidnapped last week in Kontagora, northern
Nigeria, has spoken about how chanting the name of his famous compatriot
Lionel Messi helped him during the travail.Santiago Lopez Menendez, 28, an agronomist and staff of Flour Mills of Nigeria, worked on two farms in the Kontagora area but was kidnapped on June 24 by men riding on motorcycles as he traveled on a lonely road in the town of Machagu between Mokwa and Kontagora.
As police swung into action to rescue him, the man also found common ground with his abductors who thought he was North American but could not communicate with him in the local Hausa language.
The mention of ‘Messi, Messi, Messi’ was able to establish him as an Argentine and it gave his frustrated kidnappers clue before a ransom was finally paid and he was released three days later.
"Tell them to thank Messi, his name is what saved me," Menendez told his brother according to Clarin.
He is now in the Argentine Embassy in Abuja with his girlfriend Alejandra Perkins and his brother Jorge and will return to his country.
During the Nigerian Civil War between 1967-1970, combattants called for a ceasefire when famous Brazilian footballer Pele and his club Santos played an exhibition match in the country
Buhari may not name ministers until September - Report
President Buhari may not name his cabinet members until late August or
early September, this is according to a source in the presidency who
spoke with Punch.
President Buhari is reportedly majorly concerned with cleaning the
alleged rot the Jonathan administration left behind before bringing in
new ministers.
“Mr. President is reluctant to build on a rotten foundation he inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party administration.
Presidency replies PDP's assessment
The Presidency has replied to PDP's assessment of President Buhari's administration one month after inauguration. Olisa Metuh, the Spokesperson of PDP had in a statement released earlier today called on Nigerians to pray for the Buhari led administration, saying that it has been all motion but no movement. In a swift reaction, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina in a statement released tonight said the new administration is cleaning the filth of the last one
“It is amusing to read what the National Publicity Secretary of the defeated Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, considers a 30 days appraisal of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Tech: Good news! Google to Bring Free Wi-Fi to the World
Google is rolling out free wifi in New York as part of a trial the company hopes will eventually span across the whole of the world.
The internet giant has even gone as far as to set up a company specifically dedicated to the task, called Sidewalk Labs.
How will they do this you ask – through turning 10,000 of the big apple’s old phone booths into ad-supported ‘Wi-Fi pylons’.
These converted booths are also intended to provide cell-phone charging, free domestic phone calls and a touch screen information hub about the city and transit directions.
According to Bloomberg News, these ‘pylons’ will be rolled out across New York this autumn.

Radio Biafra And Nnamdi Kanu: A Threat to Nigeria’s Stability
I was on a drive back from Aba yesterday with my Mum when the conversation we were having led to the mention of this Radio Biafra which is currently airing on FM 102.1 in most South South and South Eastern states. Last time I heard of this Radio Biafra, it was an Internet radio station that didn’t have that much of a following to warrant any real concerns, however I was shocked to find out that they were now a terrestrial radio station with a Frequency Modular bandwidth. Anyways, I tuned in out of curiosity to find out what they were all about and that was when the hair on the back of my neck stood. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
For the entire period I was tuned into the station, it was back to back tirades against the current Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, raw undiluted anti-Semitic messages targeted mostly at the Yorubas, calls for the destruction of all Deeperlife Church posters, billboards and the burning and destruction of all Deeperlife churches in Aba and all Igbo Land, the stopping of any Deeperlife crusade from holding in Aba, calls for the Igbos to arm themselves pending when he (Nnamdi Kanu who was being referred to as director) would give the clarion call for the war to commence, calls for Igbos and the supporters of the Biafran cause to join their local chapter and contribute money to him (Nnamdi) to purchase arms to prosecute a war against the Government of Nigeria. The Nnamdi character freely spewed hate for Yorubas and Hausas, referred to Nigeria as a Zoo that they would destroy, e.t.c
At first, I just felt that this was a case of a Lunatic who seems to have found his way into a radio station, but my fears didn’t rise until I heard the calls coming into the station from his growing followers. One of such callers actually said Hello Director, If Kumuyi steps into Aba, I WILL KILL HIM”. Another caller said he was a technician of sorts and was willing to offer his services to help build a bomb to destroy Nigeria and the Nnamdi character took his number and promised to get in touch with him. The calls kept coming in and it was just caller after caller pledging support for the cause of this deranged man. It didn’t matter that the Nnamdi Character sounded rude, arrogant and full of himself and obviously had a thirst for power, it didn’t matter that he was insulting and disrespecting most of the callers who dialed in, more people kept calling.
Now my reason for starting this thread is to use this medium to bring the attention of the Government to the birth of a New Terrorist group in the South East.. I couldn’t help but remember that this was exactly how the Boko Haram menace started, First it was just an Islamic preacher who was also doing Charity works and feeding his followers, then it grew into a militia that has cause the death of over 15,000 Nigerians and counting. Please those with the right connect should inform our security agencies. Whilst listening, most of the callers were reading out their phone numbers over the air and I was wondering if someone is noting down these numbers and placing taps on them and placing the owners on the terrorist watch list.
I would be honest and say that this Biafra Radio broadcast really troubled me. One of our workers who is a listener and was a follower only changed his views after I managed to explain to him the implications of what this Nnamdi Character was soliciting. The Nnamdi fellow is not hard to catch, below is a picture of him I pulled off of the Internet. And it seems he freely enters and leaves Nigeria as he pleases.
I really hope someone in a position of authority hears this message and acts on it fast before things get to the point where we now have to start doing damage control at which point many innocent lives would have been lost. Let’s use the Lessons learnt from the Boko Haram case and the arrest and murder of Mohammed Yussuf to find a way of finding, arresting and shutting down this Terrorist Group. Today we may think it’s just a radio broadcast, but if half the callers I heard were not just blowing hot. Air, then we must take this threat to National peace seriously.

From Boko Haram trying to Islamise the whole of Nigeria – to Oba of Lagos asking Igbos to drown in the lagoon – to Biafran supporters making hate speech. Is Nigeria headed for a split???

Oboi!!! See App That Helps You Breakup Automatically
OK as a Technology freak i was going through Apps on My iOS Device when i discovered this wonderful Application called Binder (You can download it on the App store On your iOs/Andriod Device)
Let's face it, breakups are hard, messy and awkward. But the good news is, there is now an app that can help you that relationship if you don't want to do it yourself.
The app, called Binder, available now on iOS and Android, appears to be loosely based on Tinder — it helps automate breakups by allowing you to end a relationship with just one swipe to the right.
The app, called Binder, available now on iOS and Android, appears to be loosely based on Tinder — it helps automate breakups by allowing you to end a relationship with just one swipe to the right.
In order to take advantage of Binder's relationship-ending service, simply choose the gender of your (soon to be ex) significant other, add in their name and phone number, choose from a list of hilariously brutal reasons (like, "our relationship is as patchy as your beard"), swipe right and the app takes care of the rest.
Those on the receiving end are treated to an equally harsh breakup text message and phone call, relaying the sad news in the bluntest way possible, though the phone calls are easily the most heartless.

The app uses several different pre-recorded breakup voice messages — all of which are so mean you have to laugh
Sources say the app appears to have been created by Scottish beer company Tennent's, which promoted the app on itsFacebook and Twitter pages.

ISIS releases another Shocking Video
Shocking new video shows ISIS brutally murdering five prisoners by locking them in a metal cage and lowering them into a swimming pool.
The sickening seven minute long video uses expensive underwater cameras to film the terrified men as they sink below the surface with no hope of escape.

According to Daily mail,Shortly afterwards the cage is lifted back out of the water, with the dying men - who are understood to have been accused of spying - seen foaming at the mouth as they lie motionless on the floor of the cage, piled on top of one another.
Elsewhere in the video, ISIS militants are filmed brutally killing prisoners by locking them in a car and shooting them with a grenade launcher, while another group of jihadis chain a set of prisoners together with explosive necklaces which are then detonated.
I wonder why Humans are this heartless?

'Titanic' And 'Braveheart Composer "James Horner" Dies In Plane Crash
James Horner, the consummate film composer known for his heart-tugging scores for Field of Dreams, Braveheart and Titanic, for which he won two Academy Awards, died Monday in a plane crash near Santa Barbara. He was 61.
His death was confirmed by Sylvia Patrycja, who is identified on Horner's film music page as his assistant.
"We have lost an amazing person with a huge heart and unbelievable talent," Patrycja wrote on Facebook on Monday. "He died doing what he loved. Thank you for all your support and love and see you down the road."
Horner was piloting the small aircraft when it crashed into a remote area about 60 miles north of Santa Barbara, officials said. An earlier report noted that the plane, which was registered to the composer, had gone down, but the pilot had not been identified.
For his work on the 1997 best picture winner Titanic, directed by James Cameron, Horner captured the Oscar for original dramatic score, and he nabbed another Academy Award for original song (shared with lyricist Will Jennings) for "My Heart Will Go On," performed by Celine Dion.
"My job - and it's something I discuss with Jim all the time - is to make sure at every turn of the film it's something the audience can feel with their heart," Horner said in a 2009 interview with the Los Angeles Times. "When we lose a character, when somebody wins, when somebody loses, when someone disappears - at all times I'm keeping track, constantly, of what the heart is supposed to be feeling. That is my primary role."
His score for Titanic sold a whopping 27 million copies worldwide.
His fruitful partnership with Cameron also netted him Oscar noms for original score for the blockbusters Aliens (1986) and Avatar (2009). The pair reportedly were also at work on Avatar sequels.
The Los Angeles native earned 10 Oscar noms in all, also being recognized for his work on two other best picture winners: Braveheart (1995) and A Beautiful Mind (2001). He also received noms for An American Tail (1986), Field of Dreams (1989), Apollo 13 (1995) and House of Sand and Fog (2003).
Always busy, Horner has three films coming out soon: Southpaw, the boxing drama that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams and is due in theaters in July; Jean-Jacques Annaud's Wolf Totem, out in September; and The 33, a drama based on the 2010 mining disaster in Chile that's set for November.
His lengthy film résumé includes The Lady in Red (1979), Wolfen (1981), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1983), Red Heat (1988), Glory (1989), The Rocketeer (1991), Patriot Games (1992), Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993), Jumanji (1995), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Troy (2004) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
His father was two-time Oscar-winning art director/set designer Harry Horner (The Heiress, The Hustler).
Horner spoke about the state of his career in a December interview with David Hocquet.
"I'm much choosier," he said.' "I don't want to be doing these movies that now 85 or 90 composers want, as opposed to six. And now all these movies, action movies. I don't get offered all the movies obviously, but I see a lot of them and I do get asked to do a lot of them, and I just know they're not asking me to do something that I can do something original, they're asking me to do a formula and I'm too rebellious."
"We have lost an amazing person with a huge heart and unbelievable talent," Patrycja wrote on Facebook on Monday. "He died doing what he loved. Thank you for all your support and love and see you down the road."

"My job - and it's something I discuss with Jim all the time - is to make sure at every turn of the film it's something the audience can feel with their heart," Horner said in a 2009 interview with the Los Angeles Times. "When we lose a character, when somebody wins, when somebody loses, when someone disappears - at all times I'm keeping track, constantly, of what the heart is supposed to be feeling. That is my primary role."
His score for Titanic sold a whopping 27 million copies worldwide.
His fruitful partnership with Cameron also netted him Oscar noms for original score for the blockbusters Aliens (1986) and Avatar (2009). The pair reportedly were also at work on Avatar sequels.
The Los Angeles native earned 10 Oscar noms in all, also being recognized for his work on two other best picture winners: Braveheart (1995) and A Beautiful Mind (2001). He also received noms for An American Tail (1986), Field of Dreams (1989), Apollo 13 (1995) and House of Sand and Fog (2003).
Always busy, Horner has three films coming out soon: Southpaw, the boxing drama that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams and is due in theaters in July; Jean-Jacques Annaud's Wolf Totem, out in September; and The 33, a drama based on the 2010 mining disaster in Chile that's set for November.
His lengthy film résumé includes The Lady in Red (1979), Wolfen (1981), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1983), Red Heat (1988), Glory (1989), The Rocketeer (1991), Patriot Games (1992), Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993), Jumanji (1995), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Troy (2004) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
His father was two-time Oscar-winning art director/set designer Harry Horner (The Heiress, The Hustler).
Horner spoke about the state of his career in a December interview with David Hocquet.
"I'm much choosier," he said.' "I don't want to be doing these movies that now 85 or 90 composers want, as opposed to six. And now all these movies, action movies. I don't get offered all the movies obviously, but I see a lot of them and I do get asked to do a lot of them, and I just know they're not asking me to do something that I can do something original, they're asking me to do a formula and I'm too rebellious."

Former White House executive chef Walter Scheib has been missing for more than a week after hiking a mountain trail alone in Taos, New Mexico.
Scheib, who served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, has been absent since June 13 when he left to go for a hike and was later reported missing by a family member.
On Thursday, investigators tracked Scheib's cell phone signal to a mountain in Taos, according to a press release from the New Mexico State Department of Public Safety.
Investigators have been searching the area but the treacherous terrain

MUST HAVES TWO [2]
THE JUMPSUIT
Depending on
the design and style of the jumpsuit, you can wear it as a casual or formal
attire. You can literally wear the jumpsuit anywhere; to work,a party, to
lunch, dinner,anywhere!
MUST HAVES ARE BACK!!!!
THE DENIM
JACKET:
A denim
[jean] jacket can turn a formal outfit instantly into an everyday outfit. It is
the best for days that you do not have time to leave your office or place of
work to go home and change into something casual, you can just slip on your
denim jacket ,take off the heels put on flip flops or sneakers or sandals and

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE LADY GAGA TO MAKE A FASHION STATEMENT
Ladies and
fine gentlemen when i see some outfits and i think about the amount of effort
and time that was put into it, it kinda makes me sad. You do not have to go all
out or go all crazy just to make a fashion statement. Making a fashion statement does not mean
looking like you fell out of lady gaga’s closet [if you know what i mean] or
looking like Halloween came earlier or later than usual.

“Tight”does
not always mean sexy
Wearing
tight fitting clothes does not make you sexy. You can wear a flowing dress, a
loose top or pants and still feel and look sexy.” Tight” sometimes looks trashy
[no offence]. This also does not mean that you should not wear well fitting
clothes, just make sure that they are not in smaller sizes than you wear and
they fit your body shape and type. Remember that tight clothes may bring out unnecessary
bulges

BUYING A LIE FROM THE WHITE MARKET
After series of calls from readers in the international community to know the exact state of affairs as regards the recent developments in University of Nigeria, I have decided to respond thus.
Firstly, will like to thank all the readers of this blog for insisting they wont believe any reports they get about UNN if its not uploaded here. Your support has been the fulcrum pivoting us. Thank you.
While we at gossip Lions we try to bring first hand reports of what is happening all around the world, we chose not to rush into hasty reportage. We consider it sine-qua-non to be circumspect about the happenings in our world before hitting the media, having in mind the integrity our organization is known for. This is an imperative prophylactic against verbal diarrhea we seek to cure the media of.
Yes, the school authority introduced an impromptu mid-semester break. Yes our very own dear colleague lost her life and we sadly mourn and with heavy eyes and tears flowing out of our eyes like rivers into seas. We cant help but pray God grants her soul eternal rest.
She (Sylvia) was a very vibrant 300 level student of Veterinary Medicine and the callousness of the bad state of roads in Nigeria stole her away from us. What a loss!
However, the media has taken the turn of events lately to spread lots of funny information, polluting the minds of those who care to listen (or read).

Its TB Joshua again!!!
A huge birthday
celebration is set to be held in South Africa on Friday 12th June as Prophet TB
Joshua turns 52. An announcement posted on Joshua’s official Facebook page
revealed that award-winning US Gospel Artist Vashawn Mitchell would be among
those performing at the event.The Nigerian cleric’s popularity in Southern
Africa has shown no signs of waning, despite the tragic building collapse that
claimed the lives of 84 South Africans in his church last year.Indeed,
family members of those who lost their lives and survivors of the incident are
among those organising the celebration for Joshua, alongside ‘The SCOAN Family
in Southern Africa’.Joshua has uncannily not appeared in public since his
crusade in Mexico last month. It was announced on his Christian network
Emmanuel TV yesterday that the cleric had arrived back in Nigeria over a week
ago but was “waiting for God's command on what to do next”.Speculations are
rife that Joshua may soon be leaving Nigerian shores on a more permanent basis,
fuelled further by the message yesterday which stipulated no birthday
celebration would be held within Nigeria.
