How automated registration makes orientation stress-free

Nigeria definitely is moving, even if it seems that there is no movement. It is believed it seems there is no movement simply because substantial and critical operators and institutions in the country are yet to properly key-in to the use of ICT as an enabler in whatever their business is.


Several institutions of higher learning in the country have already used and are using ICT to manage things; one very good example is the Rivers State University of Science & Technology under the leadership of Professor Barineme Fakae as vice-chancellor (see his story in Vanguard Learning tomorrow).

Neighbours want to destroy our relationship

I love your wonderful advice on so many topics! Please advise me on this urgent issue. I live in a face-to face apartment in a crowded compound. People don’t seem to mind their business here. I cannot have privacy even though I live in two rooms.

It seems the paper thin walls in my apartment make it tough for me and my boyfriend to be intimate, during conversations, during sex, without the neighbours reacting. If I’m on the phone and tell him how I feel about him, the couple next door starts to crack up. I thought at first it was a coincidence, but it has happened about eight times. Once I even said, “let’s talk later because the neighbors are listening” and they shut right up.

Schweinsteiger set for 2014 return

 
The midfielder has been plagued by a succession of injuries in recent years but is closing in on full fitness once again

Bastian Schweinsteiger is likely to make his Bayern Munich return before the winter break after missing the start of the campaign with a knee injury.

Following Germany's World Cup success in Brazil, Schweinsteiger picked up a minor ankle problem in Bayern's close-season preparations before irritation around the patellar tendon prevented him from returning to competitive club action.

The midfielder, 30, has been ruled out of the early stages of Bayern's Bundesliga defence as a result, but chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed the midfielder was set to return before the turn of the year.

Hong Kong police charge British banker with double murder

 

Hong Kong (AFP) - Hong Kong police charged a 29-year-old British banker who worked for Bank of America Merrill Lynch with murder after the grisly discovery of two female corpses, including one in a suitcase, in his upmarket apartment, investigators said Monday.

The women were found dead on the 31st floor of the residential block in the popular expatriate district of Wanchai in the early hours of Saturday morning -- when many revellers were out celebrating Halloween.

Police said in a statement early Monday that a holding charge of two counts of murder had been laid against the man, adding that he would appear in court later in the day.

He was identified by local press as British expatriate Rurik Jutting.

"A person with that name previously worked at this firm," Bank of America Merrill Lynch spokesman Paul Scanlon told AFP.

The man was arrested after he called police to his flat on Saturday where they found a naked woman with knife wounds to her neck and buttock in the living room.

The corpse of the other woman was discovered decaying inside a suitcase on the balcony.

The woman found in the living room, described by police as a foreigner aged between 25 and 30, was declared dead at the scene, with the cause thought to be a cut to her throat.

Police were scouring thousands of photographs stored on a mobile phone seized from the suspect, including some showing one of the corpses wrapped in a carpet inside a suitcase on the balcony, the South China Morning Post reported.

On social network platform LinkedIn, Rurik Jutting is listed as a graduate of Cambridge University.

A person by the name posted on social media last week he was embarking on a "new journey".

"Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited. The first step is always the hardest," said the posting uploaded to Facebook on Monday.

- Body in suitcase -

The victims are believed by police to be sex workers of Southeast Asian origin, local reports said.

One of the victims was thought to be a 25-year-old Indonesian, the government in Jakarta said, adding that its consulate in Hong Kong was coordinating with police to identify her.

Officers said earlier maggots were found in the corpse hidden in a suitcase.

"From what we can see it was intentionally hidden because it was put in a travel suitcase," police assistant district commander Wan Siu-hung told reporters.

"This body belonged to a person who has passed away for quite some time."

A resident said a "disgusting" smell had been emanating from the building.

"It was the smell of a dead body. Maybe the police were moving it," the man, who lived on the 11th floor and refused to give his name, told AFP on Sunday.

Britain's Foreign Office confirmed that a British national had been arrested in the southern Chinese city.

"We are in touch with the local police and stand ready to provide consular assistance," it said.

Maryland man charged with threatening to kill Obama in email

 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 42-year-old Maryland man accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and first lady Michele Obama in an explicit email strewn with racist remarks was in custody on Sunday, the United States Secret Service said.

Christopher Perkins O'Brien, of Annapolis, was arrested on Thursday and charged with making a violent threat against the president and threatening bodily harm against the presidential family in an email sent to the White House website on Oct. 16, according to court documents.

O'Brien was also charged with using interstate communications to make the threats, the documents said.

In the email, Obama is called "stupid" and a racial slur for his handling of ISIS, beheadings in the United States and of the Ebola outbreak before he is threatened with physical violence.

"I ... hope to reach out to slash Michele's throat... You?? I will make a point to behead you, then throw your head into the nearest body of water, as I drive off into Maryland," O'Brien is accused of writing, according to charging documents first reported by The Baltimore Sun.

O'Brien was convicted in 2007 of manslaughter in the strangulation death of a 32-year-old female friend, the paper has reported. He served part of a 10-year sentence for the crime, which was later reduced to involuntary manslaughter.
