Captain Musa Muhammed grabbed a third goal at the 42nd minute of the game while in the 76th minute, Musa Yahaya dropped his shoulder brilliantly again – pulling out his signature move – before firing low into the corner from 25 yards.

However, Substitute Ali Gholizadeh scored in the 84th minute from the edge of the box to give the Irannians a consolation.

World's tallest man finally finds love

You could imagine how lonely it would be for a man to stay without a wife or lover due to his condition. Such was the situation of the world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen. He has long been searching for a woman to share his life with, and had reportedly given up hope until he met Ms Dibo.

"Now I will have my own family and private life.'How unfortunate I could not find a suitable girl of my own size. My fiancee is over 1.75 meters tall, but I believe I've found the person for me."

The Turkish farmer who at 8ft 3ins dwarfs his 5ft 8ins fiancee, also holds the Guinness World Record for the size of his 27.5cm hands and feet, which are recorded 36.5 centimetres - a massive size 28.

His gigantic wedding suit and shoes will be custom made, and the giant, who has achieved near celebrity status, has invited a host of politicians to his nuptials in the southern Turkish city of Mardin.

Kosen said all he wants now is a car big enough for his size in which he can travel with his bride.

He is one of only ten people ever to top 8 feet and the first in a decade. He became the world’s tallest man in August 2009, when he shot past China’s Bao Xishun at 7ft 9ins.

Make techno add techno jare before these people turn bbm to 2go. share nd let d fun continue..... Love u all."

Is Blackberry the only phone in the world? If no then why all the annoyance;). Please Blackberry users take it easy on them rather blame those that launched the application.

Remember 'there is love in sharing' so show them love.

One of the Associated Airlines crash surviving victims dies in Lagos

Mr. Fatoye Sampson, the flight technician who was among the five survivors of the Associated Airlines plane crash in the October 3 disaster, has died at the Gbagada General Hospital, Lagos, where he had been receiving treatment.

The death occured at about 7pm on Wednesday and has brought to 16 the number of dead victims of the ill-fated plane which crashed while conveying the remains of former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Agagu, from Lagos to Akure.

Fatoye, who suffered severe burns from the crash, had been treated in many hospitals before he was finally taken to the Gbagada hospital.

He died few hours after immigration officials from Abuja arrived in the hospital with electronic data capturing machine to prepare passport for the survivors to travel overseas for further treatment.

The other surviving cabin crew members include Mrs. Quinneth Owolabi and Miss Toyin Sampson. While Miss Toyin was said to be in a stable condition at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Mrs. Owolabi, whose 10 toes and five fingers were amputated days ago, had been in severe pains before and after the surgery.

NLC threatens nationwide shutdown over ASUU strike

The Nigerian Labour Congress on Wednesday threatened to embark on a nationwide strike unless the Federal Government intervened to resolve the protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

At the end of its National Executive Committee meeting in Kaduna yesterday, the NLC, in a communique, said that it was dismayed by the inability of the government to put an end to the strike that had crippled academic activities in public universities.

The President of the NLC, Mr. Abdulwahed Omar and the Acting General Secretary of the Congress, Mr. Chris Uyot, accused the Federal Government of sponsoring protests against ASUU instead of resolving the lingering crisis.

They warned that the NLC would not hesitate to call out Nigerian workers to protest across the country if the present situation was not changed by the Federal Government.
Omar and Uyot also stated that the NLC had taken a decision to intervene in the crisis rocking the university system in order to save Nigerian students from needless pains. 'NEC-In-Session expresses its deep concern for the near total collapse of the education sector. It is a sad commentary that government has allowed the strike by ASUU to drag on for so long with incalculable consequences.

'Rather than resolve these issues, government is busy sponsoring protest groups against ASUU.
'NEC cautions that if government persists with this line of action, it will mobilize its members to stage counter protests across the country. It has the will and the capacity and it advises that government should not test that will.'

Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor, The Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, Prof. Adebayo Adeyemi, has described the lingering ASUU strike as a national problem, and not a blessing to the private universities.
Adeyemi while briefing the press on Wednesday on its 5th forthcoming convocation, said both the Federal Government and ASUU should meet and reach an implementable agreement, so that the strike could be called off.
