arguing that it was its job to provide — without fail– relief for internationals in post-retirement financial distress It is a view that was popular then and still is Akosa said it was not possible for the football body or sports ministry to do what the interviewer suggested in my view– that internationals were paid allowances (certainly not anywhere near the range of what is paid these days) for their services he told the interviewer that the number of ex-internationals including those with caps in single digits Another of his interviewers chipped in with the line that given that internationals brought glory or fame to the country they deserved to be put in a special category deserving of something not far from nannying his interviewers and I continued the conversation over drinks across the road While I did not (and still do not) think the Nigerian society offers strong enough safety nets against adversities I said I did not think (still do not) that the job of getting every distressed former sports star out of life’s jam was that of the sports authorities (read government) who slipped into financial distress on account of his flaming affection for liquor and gambling adding that I did not remember the English FA hurling cash at him or others in a similar situation I also did argue that the Nigerian Railways Corporation an epitome of institutional cold-bloodedness had staff who worked their butts off and were as patriotic as any Nigerian on two legs but never got what was due to them let alone lashings of post-service compassionate gestures Former sportsmen are not the only people the media recommend for special treatment Case after case is made for Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi who was placed on “life salary” by the government of President Goodluck Jonathan A social media post I saw a few years back had the photograph of his home The poster called on the government to get the house repainted for what he did and got enormous support in the comments section Akinkunmi’s entry won the competition for the national flag design while he was a student in England He returned to Nigeria and had a career in the civil service for which he must have been paid a gratuity and is receiving pension directly pick up the tab for those who had been paid for their services because they are prominent is what I struggle to understand many of whom are in the dumps for one reason or the other and without media cheerleaders I was nudged to write this by the viral photo of the ailing former national goalkeeper and the strident view that it is the sports authorities that have the responsibility for funding the restoration of his health I need to repeat that I do not object to compassion and Fregene is deserving of such But the way the conversation is framed is what I find unagreeable raised the possibility that he is being owed the reason he is unable to fund his treatment especially those who go into coaching and administration are owed salaries and severance benefits for long spells something the media need to make a sustained campaign issue with a focus on specific offices/officials responsible for the ill-treatment Most people are just an event away from crisis and even if we are paid for which footballers were cult heroes or out-and-out legends and paid for their services be asked to set aside revenues for distress packages To how many people and what are the criteria for choosing it can be mini-skirt-short (pardon the naughtiness) and in reality there is no guarantee of financial success did not earn the eye-watering sums earned today But I do suspect they earned more than most people The big earnings come early in their careers imposing the need to manage it in a way that ensures it lasts a long time or a lifetime possible injuries and lavish lifestyles put those earnings at high risk One of the things the media and public should be campaigning for is a culture of early saving and investment so that the incomes can grow over time and provide returns organisers of GOtv Boxing Night and of which I am part have organised sessions for boxers on various topics I hope beneficiaries are taking learnings from them A campaign for saving/investment culture is more important given that lucrative second career opportunities I do not have enough familiarity with the local scene to say with authority whether or not sports people have life insurance or permanent total disability insurance to protect future income the media should point those in sports and those with the desire to go into the industry in that direction No plan is fail-safe and we have seen sports people being targets of scammers or victims of bad financial advice We can similarly advocate for the creation of systems to limit exposure to such It is also important that we target a campaign for young sports people to seek to acquire skills and formal qualifications either alongside their sporting activities or once their sporting days are over they are better sandbagged against a wave of misfortune as well as bringing about a reduction in demand for government intervention While these are too late for those already retired journalists and others to society may be less headline-grabbing but are not inferior to those of sportsmen What we need as a society are sturdier safety nets for all It is a no-brainer that this is not going to be a popular view has bagged a Ph.D in International Relations Fregene who will now be addressed as Hon .Dr Saturday November 27 at an elaborate convocation ceremony held at

know each other he said they’re crucial for recent graduates to set themselves apart from the thousands of other applicants in the job market State interns don’t just file documents or answer phones

during the globally recognized Awankere Festival Palazzetto dello Sport and Villaggio Olimpico (1960) Detail of Palazzetto dello Sport and Villaggio Olimpico (1960) “A student once asked me if it was difficult being an architect in Rome,” recalls Raynaldo Perugini is uniquely placed to answer that thoughtful question asked in his class “Rome is where you come to examine architecture To live in it and be influenced by it is a very different story,” he proffers her almost overwhelming and incomparable architectural heritage The difficulty of creating the Roman contemporary is always implicit This is a city whose very essence seems to constrain it to look not forward and fascist architectural styles being well attested and increasingly appreciated Perugini could tell us something about that one of Rome’s swankier seaside communities is known as the Casa Sperimentale (Experimental House) and was designed by himself and his architect parents Giuseppe Perugini and Uga De Plaisant in 1968–75 Italy’s so-called “economic miracle” of the 1950s and 60s is more generally associated with Milan but the country’s capital also experienced a boom Rome’s post-war residential projects show enormous variety with palazzine (small apartment blocks) stretching as far as the eye can see in many parts of the city There are notable examples by architects such as Ugo Luccichenti and the more well-known Luigi Moretti whose protean output dots many a neighborhood Recent years have not treated the Italian capital kindly and a calamitous political and economic situation coupled with intransigent city government has fostered a sense of decline across all aspects of urban life This is felt most acutely in outlying areas that are home to some of Rome’s most experimental and important Modernist buildings it is modernity itself that is ultimately impermanent _________________________________________________ One of Italy’s most controversial social housing projects, the 3,100-foot-long mega-structure — dubbed “il serpentone” (the big snake) — was said to be doomed long before the first stone was laid. The design was coordinated by architect Mario Fiorentino and clearly referenced Le Corbusier’s unité d’habitation with a service axis and stacked “streets in the sky,” home to over 8,000 residents by the time of its completion in the early 80s the complex was already home to many illegal squatters and remains so to this day and lack of connection to the city at large ensure that it still stands only of the inhabited and thoroughly Modern variety Standing right where the beach meets the mouth of a river, this solitary structure was built to designs by architect Maurizio Aymonino on the instructions of celebrated novelist Alberto Moravia (author of The Conformist 1951) to replace his villa that had been washed away by floods in 1965 Despite recommendations from the authorities that he position his retreat on dryer footings Moravia used his celebrity clout and insisted on this beloved spot calling it his “refuge for the soul.” Federico Fellini was a fellow Fregene resident and owned his own Modernist villa close by This palazzina occupies a very prominent position on the nondescript expanse that is the Piazzale Clodio in a middle-class neighborhood in northern Rome It was designed by the young Luigi Pellegrin a follower of Frank Lloyd Wright’s who met his master on more than one occasion including during the American architect’s 1951 visit to Italy This anomalous residential development seems part Fallingwater and part Soviet Constructivism with masterfully articulated volumes and external wooden underside paneling that appears particularly ahead of its time little maintenance has been carried out since the 1970s Built to host the 6,500 athletes who came to Rome for the 1960 Olympic Games the village’s design and construction were overseen by some of the most prominent architects and engineers of the time Adalberto Libera (of Casa Malaparte fame) and Luigi Moretti (who went on to design the Watergate complex in Washington D.C.) worked together to create different typologies of residential block Pier Luigi Nervi engineered the turtle-like Palazzetto dello Sport that served as the Olympic basketball venue the opening first of Renzo Piano’s Parco della Musica and then Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI nearby has attracted more appreciative residents — yet most of the village remains in a woeful state of neglect this suburban district of Rome appears to be scared by huge concrete craters Down on the ground they turn out to be housing clusters constructed during the 1960s building boom who would later go on to design the Casa Sperimentale interlocking ensembles were completed in 1963 to house employees of the treasury ministry The wide cylindrical formations are composed of stacked housing units that together create a Modernist Coliseum of sorts while dead ivy plants have encrusted itself onto their façades like excessive body hair Taken from PIN–UP 24, Spring Summer 2018 Slide "+(i+1)+" of "+$(set).length+": "+$(this).find("figcaption")[0].innerHTML+" A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and leader of Bateren Community in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State played host to the 2020 edition of Bateren Christmas Carnival A cross section of the beautiful entertainers geared towards promoting the tourism potentials of the Itsekiri oil and gas-rich community attracted various groups and guests from within Delta State and beyond Fresh Angle International understands that the 2020 edition was a massive improvement from previous carnivals and showed great promise of what to expect in the years ahead as Prince Fregene’s development efforts in Bateren appears to be attracting more interests to happenings in the community We serve you highlights of the colourful event as sent to us:   Prince Moses Fregene (middle) & two other leaders of Bateren Community Mofe Nobi and the entire family of Late Deacon John Nobi (Captain) Oritsetserundede Fregene and the entire Dimigun Descendants of Ogheye on the installation of Pa Moses Oritsetserundede Fregene as the Olare -Aja of Ogheye Dimigun Community in Warri North Local Government of Delta State development and tranquility in the Benin River commercial community Fresh Angle International understands that Pa installed as the Olare-Aja (oldest man) of Ogheye Dimigun Community at an elaborate ceremony held in Ogheye Dimigun Townhall In a statement made available to This Newspaper to enable him lead people of Ogheye Dimigun uprightly wisdom in every decision you take to lead the people uprightly strength in every battle and the courage to take good decisions UNIVERSITY Challenge fans were outraged when a returning contestant fails to say a word yet again Host Jeremy Paxman introduced the returning competing teams who were battling it out as the phase two quarter finals continued last night First was Southampton who consisted of Ethan Lyon It was Samuel Fregene caught viewers attention -

The programme came under fire for allowing Cambridge and Oxford  to enter individual teams from different colleges within institutions the rules state that each institution that offers a university-level education is allowed to put forward one team each many professors have taken a critical look upon this arguing that it simply allows the two leading universities an advantage to submit more than one team During the latest series of the BBC Two show eight of the 28 teams came from an Oxford or Cambridge based university institution This was one down on the previous series which featured a total of nine The BBC was quick to hit back as it offered up an explanation A statement read: "All institutions that deliver higher education courses at the level of bachelor's degree or equivalent or higher are welcome to apply to take part in University Challenge "Institutions are eligible and welcome to apply to University Challenge independently of each other."
