Usain Bolt Injured in Last Career Race in London

Bolt Stumbles in London

The world most decorated short distance athlete, Usain Bolt sprained his ankle, stumbled in IAAF World Championship 2017 in London.

The fastest man on earth felt a sharp pain on his ankle, struggled a bit before dramatically falling to the ground while trying to redeem his team, which is in the position of winning a bronze medal to possibly overrun the ambitious America and Britain's last runners to a gold medal.

Bolt who had earlier lost his gold medal chance in 100m to settle for bronze and lost another chance of bagging any medal in the 200m, stumbled on his way to finish in a medal position in 4x100m Relay.

The Jamaican lost his 100m gold medal to American Justin Gaitlin. He forfeited his 200m gold to Guliyev, a Turkish and fail to reach the end line as the final lap sprinter in the 4x100m relay to the highly motivated Great Britain & Northern Island team while the Americans clinched the silver medal. 

His team mate and first leg runner, Yohan Blake, faults the organizers for their failure in London for delay. "Bolt was cold" he added. 

 The unparalleled 3-in-3 star, however, ended up without any gold medal in London 2017. What a surprise!

Whereas, the former World and Olympic champion had announced his plan to retire after this competition hopefully on a high note but unfortunately it is not to be.

"Will he stand on his words or stage a return?" is the question in everyone's mind. How the mighty falling.

JAMB 2017--See How to Calculate Your Points for Admission

It is no more a news that admission seekers' spirits are high over admission process after JAMB 2017. Parents and applicants are anxious to know what comes next after successfully passing JAMB that would facilitate their children admission into various institution of learning in Nigeria.

Here is a vital information that would guide your thought and possibly your next line of action.

This information is very essential for all those who sat for this year 2017 JAMB exam.

 OFFICIAL JAMB GRADING SYSTEM FOR 2017/2018
 ADMISSION…. FROM OUR SOURCE
 JAMB SCORE GRADE POINTS
 180 – 185 ——–20 points
 186 – 190——–21points
 191 -195———22points
 196 – 200——–23points
 201 – 205——–24points
 206 – 210——–25 points
 211 – 215——–26 points
 216 -220———27 points
 221 -225——–28 points
 226 -230———-29 points
 231 -235———-30 points
 236 – 240——–31 points
 241 – 245 ———32 points
 246 -250———-33 points
 251 -300—- (34- 43points)
 300 -400——-(44 – 60 points)

WAEC / NECO O’LEVEL GRADE POINTS
 1. Single sitting— 10 points
 2. Combined Results–2 points
 A1—————–6 points
 B2 and B3———4 points
 C4 – C6———–3 points

For example
 Yakubu Kehinde Obinna scored 242 in UTME = 32 points
 He applies for Electrical Engineering
 He presents only one WAEC result=10 points
 He has 1A, 2B and 2C in the necessary subjects.
 1 A: 1 x 6 = 6points
 2 B: 2 x 4 = 8points
 2 C: 2 x 3 = 6points
 His total points = 32+10+6+8+6 =62 points
 He will now await the school to release the cut off point for
 his course.

 Now, if the point requirements for the department he is applying to, let us say in  Unilorin, is 56 for instance, he is eligible for admission but it does not means that he  has been admitted automatically, he still needs to wait for the school to possibly  offer him admission.

Fashola Finally Bow to NASS

Babatunde Fashola Speaking to NASS Committee

Recall that there was a disagreement between the three-in-one minister, Honorable Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola and the National Assembly over the amendment of 2017 budget that allegedly affects his ministries.

The disagreement transformed to confrontations, accusations and counter accusations between the two arms of government that led to unwarranted arguments and jibes on social media that also warranted the Senate to release a 3page statement.

However, peace and agreement was restored Friday 28 July, 2017 when the minister appeared before the national assembly joint technical committee on budget reconciliation at the NASS committee room.

The minister said he was only trying to stand for his ministries where necessary by getting back his budget in order to deliver what will benefit Nigerians as expected and that he does not intent to rubbish the NASS or incite them against the public.

Fashola apologised, he said "If you were angry with my comments, I am sorry and I apologise 100%. I am only interested in getting my budget back. Once more I am sorry." 

"I have no intention to rubbish the NASS, The public heard my comments and they have not attacked you, so I have no intention of incitement." he added.

His apology was accepted by the committee and they commended him as a devoted minister and an absolute gentleman.

"We have accepted your apologies and your budget as from today is restored. You are a complete gentleman." NASS Joint Technical Committee on Budget Reconciliation replied.


Now that the conflict has been resolved, Nigerians are eagerly waiting as usual for the busy minister in solving the nation's power failure problem, build adequate and affordable houses and fix the country's roads in which Apapa Lagos is a priority.

Chai! See Shocking Secret About Reekado Banks

The MavinsRecord youngstar, Reekado Banks just reveal a fact about his personal life.

The ladies and gentlemen crooner is no doubt one of the best hip hop artist in Nigeria who has been consistent since he badged into the industry.

Like the popular Nigeria saying "One thing must kill a man", Reekado said he can die for breast. He got some of my Northern brothers back on this, with their rhetorical saying that if they are not killed by sweet things, should they die of bitterness?

Reekado Banks prefer to die of sweet packages, he is human afterall.

"One thing go kill man. Na breast get me" Reekado Banks said in pidgin.

He made this comment via his twitter handle @ReekadoBanks

Nice one Reekado, we are on the sane page.

Fish Out Shekau in 40days, Army Chief Directed

Chief of Army Staff gives Theatre Command, Operation Lafiya Dole deadline to capture Abubakar Shekau

Yesterday, Friday 21st July, 2017, the COAS, Nigerian Army, Lietunant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai directed the theatre commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru Abubakar Shekau, the sectional leader of the deadly terrorist group, Book Haram, dead or alive.

He was instructed to do so within the spate of 40days.

According to the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, the command is to use all arsenal in its disposal to carry out this operation successfully.

The general public is therefore implore to assist and volunteer information that would lead to the accomplishment of this task.

This development is a demonstration that the Nigerian Army has confined with the public that Shekau is still alive after several declarations of his termination.

The Army also announced the rescue and quick treatment of an abandoned Boko Haram terrorist.

Chaos in Apapa as Police shot Tanker Driver, Banks razed

• A police officer attached to Diamond Bank, Creek Road in Apapa Lagos shot dead a tanker driver.
• Diamond, Sterling Bank set ablaze

The incident happened earlier today, Wednesday at about 9am when the police mopol asked the tanker driver to move his vehicle from the spot he parked and he refused, then the police threatened to shoot the victim and he replied that he should shoot him then the ugly incident happened as he was shot on the head.

Other reports said the police wanted to extort the tanker driver before argument ensued between them.

Tanker drivers however did not take it lightly, they ran after the officer while he ran into Diamond Bank. The mob set fire on the bank immediately in there attempt to get hold of him.

The reprisal did not end there, the mob moved to Sterling Bank, beside Diamond Bank and set fire on it too after breaking the entrance with stones and other damaging tools.

Other police officers around fled the environment for their dear life before a van of mopol arrived with sporadic gunshot. Yet, they could not restore parity.

It took the intervention of the men of the Nigerian Army, Apapa to bring back sanity into the area.

As at the time of this report, apart from the victim, there is no record of any casualty yet as much as we await the report of the Nigerian Police.

LIFESTYLE: The Ilaje People and Their Flamboyant Funeral

The Ilaje people are one of the many dialects of the Yoruba race in Nigeria. The people speak Ilaje dialect of Yoruba and occupy Ilaje and Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.  They can also be found in Ajegunle and Majidun Lagos and in other riverine area across the country including Makoko. This is because their main occupation is fishing.
 

The Ilajes hold burial ceremony in high esteem that it seems to be more important than marriage, naming ceremony, or any other good in life. Generally, Yoruba doesn’t celebrate the death of youth, children, or any young person especially one that was survived by parents because they believe that it is a very sad situation. Therefore, the Ilajes only perform burial rite for an aged man or woman survived by at least a grown child.

This rite begins from the day the deceased gave up the ghost till the day he or she is buried. It consist of cleaning the dead and reserving it in the mortuary, Ere Iseyinde (farewell play), having series of family meetings, and the last stage which include church service, a mega party and finally, burial. Our focus here is actually on the Ere Iseyinde.

The importance of Ere Iseyinde is that it is the farewell play used in informing the public of the unexpected news and as a performance to celebrate the decease to the underworld. It consists of singing, drumming and dancing to traditional songs joyously by the participants. The songs are traditional and anyone among the congregation can lead at any point that suit him and the rest of the sympathizers.

TIME: Ere Iseyinde is usually performed in the evening till anytime in the night and possibly till dawn for seven consecutive days from the day of demise.

PARTICIPANTS: Family members, friends, neighbors, and wishers; both men and women. Children are involved as spectators.

INSTRUMENTS: The main traditional instrument is a pair of foot-length bamboo stick for each person. These bamboos are hit against themselves melodiously to the tune of songs. It is typically accompanied with supporting instruments that include Traditional Drum, Sekere (Shaker) and Hands to clap; together creating a percussive sound that gladdens and delights the listeners.

In conclusion, winning and dinning is significant. Traditional foods like Pupuru and Orugbo Soup’ will take centre stage and dominates the period. Also, various drinks headed by palm wine are available. Non-alcoholic drinks are also served but their intake cannot be compare to the amount of Ogogoro, gin and beers’. Trust the Ilajes, they take much alcohol but often not to stupor because it has become part of them.
