Chelsea’s Victor Moses has been named the English Premier League African Player of the Month of November by organisers New African Soccer, AfricanFootball.com reports.

The Super Eagles winger edged Kenya’s Victor Wanyama of Tottenham and fellow Nigerian Victor Anichebe of Sunderland to win a second straight award in two consecutive months.

Moses has flourished in a new right wing-back role under Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and has been instrumental in his team being top of the Premier League.

*An internet romance scam took an unexpected turn, writes Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani. When Maria Grette first discovered that the "58-year-old Danish man" with whom she had fallen in love was actually a 24-year- old Nigerian "419" internet scammer, the 62-year-old Swede was distraught. But, soon, her feelings changed. "The most terrible thing was not that he had cheated me, but that he had lost his innocence," she said. She became consumed with what she describes as "a profound need to make a difference to the people of Nigeria".

This is particularly true for those coming by air. Sometimes, this may end up as permanent impression about the host countries judging from the standard and organisation of their airports. The airport, especially the international wing, serves as the gateway or key indices to empirically assess and measure the infrastructural and development level of the country concerned. This accounts reason governments concentrate so much resource in standardizing and making the roads to the airport not only motorable but beautiful just to create the impression of a model city in the minds of the foreign and local visitors. However, the reverse is fast becoming the situation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja. The airport has become anything but model. It is now a common sight t...

*A week ago, the Academic Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) served notice of its intention to embark on a one- week warning strike with effect from Wednesday, 16th November, 2016. Its President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, claimed that ASUU took the action after nationwide consultations with the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Union, though the Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, insisted the Federal Government (ASUU members' main employer) was not notified.* *ASUU said its leadership came under great pressure from its members over pending issues such as the 2009 Collective Bargaining Agreement and 2014 Memorandum of Understanding, which were not properly implemented. These cover the areas of proper funding of universities (which went down to eight per cent in 2016 from 11 per cent in 2015, despite the fact that this year's budget was significantly higher at N6.06 Trillion compared to N4.4 Trillion of 2015); unpaid pension...
