UPDATE ON ASUU STRIKE

Ahead of today’s meeting with the Federal Government, President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, has declared that the union will not back down on the ongoing strike if a compromise is not reached.
Speaking to PM News, Dr. Fagge maintained that the strike action was not embarked upon just for the demands, but for the Federal Government to honour a Memorandum of Understanding which it signed in 2012 with ASUU.
“Who’s talking about demands here? We presented our demands in 2006 and it took us three years to get it into an agreement.
“The Federal Government signed an MOU in 2012, that’s what we are asking them to honour, period. The strike action will not continue only if they implement the MOU we had last year,” Fagge said.
He further disclosed that “If we call off the strike when the MOU has not been implemented, of what use was the strike action in the first place? We are holding on until everything is sorted out.”
The industrial action by the lecturers will be forty-nine days old if ASUU does not reach an agreement with the Federal Government at the meeting scheduled to hold later today. [PMNEWS]

wizkid involved in an accident

Wizkid was reportedly involved in a car accident at about 3:30AM today. He was lucky to have walked away from the incident injury free. Thank God for his life. AT 3:30Am me and my friends were about to leave the Nokia Lumia beat party at the Oriental hotel . As we waited for a cab it was raining all of a sudden we heard a loud noise behind us. We turn to check what has happened, right in front of our eyes we see a car made 2 drifts and a tumble … First we had the shocking/ trilling feeling we got to actually experience such a magnificent incident… As we rush down to check if their was any survival all of a sudden we realize it was star boys new porsche car with the plates ‘W’ as we approach further the MAN OF STEEL (star boy) walks out not only saving him self but along with the girls with him lol, without any scratch or injuries.. The only thing damaged was his new porsche car worth of 50m, i guess we wouldn’t be seeing wizz in his porsche for a while…

A Series of Shots

A SERIES OF SHOTS is similar to a Montage, but it usually takes place in one location and concerns the same action. Think of the movie Earthquake ... SERIES OF SHOTS A) Store windows start to rattle and shake. B) Hanging signs swing back and forth. C) Bricks and shards of glass begin to fall onto the sidewalks. D) People run for cover. A SERIES OF SHOTS is formatted as a SHOT. Just like a Montage, the shot series are action paragraphs and may also be numbered 1) 2) 3). A MATTER OF STYLE Some writers will incorporate a series of shots into a script without noting it as such. This generally contributes to a smoother flow of the action. The action lines might be short, descriptive sentences on separate lines. The Piazza de Palma is packed with Saturday shoppers. A LOUD SHOT rings out. Pigeons take flight, WINGS FLUTTERING EN MASSE. Heads turn in the direction of ANOTHER GUNSHOT. A frightened child drops his ice cream cone and CRIES. A woman SCREAMS. Anothe...
