Chile Wins Copa America

The long wait is over for Chile. Ever since the first Copa America in 1916,
La Roja have been trying to win South America's prestigious continental
competition. Now they have and the celebrations have kicked off in earnest in
Santiago. For Argentina's golden generation, though, this was another chance
missed.
Chile took the game to Argentina in this one and even though they played very
much on the edge with some cynical fouls in the first half that left their three
centre-backs booked before the interval, few could argue that the locals did not
deserve this triumph - both for their performance on the night and also
throughout this tournament.
A sterile second half concluded as substitute Gonzalo Higuain hit wide at the
far post, failing to find the net from an acute angle. The miss evoked
memories of how he squandered a glorious chance in last year's World Cup
final and to make matters worse, the Napoli forward blasted his penalty over
the crossbar in the subsequent shootout.
The man he replaced on the pitch, Sergio Aguero, said before the Copa that
if this golden generation of Argentine players fails to win a trophy, they will
regret it for the rest of their lives. Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and others
all echoed those words later on - but it was beyond them again on Saturday.
The Under-20 World Cup claimed by the Albiceleste in 2005 and the Olympic
gold medal in 2008 were special for these players at the time, but they have
been unable to replicate those successes with the full national side - even
though their generation of players has been described by many as their greatest
ever.
Last year's World Cup in Brazil was a wonderful opportunity. With Messi at
a peak age (27) and the stadiums filled with Argentine fans, it looked like it
may be their moment. Ultimately, however, they missed out and the current
Copa was supposed to bring some sort of redemption.
It hasn't happened. Messi impressed, but was squeezed into spaces where he
has less influence and he lacked support from his team-mates on Saturday.
Javier Pastore, superb in the 6-1 thrashing of Paraguay in the semi-finals on
Tuesday, was a shadow of that player in this game. And Angel Di Maria,
who missed last year's World Cup final through injury, limped off with little
more than half an hour gone.
By the end of the night, Javier Mascherano was playing on one leg and
Ezequiel Lavezzi limping around as well. Once again, Argentina resembled a
walking wounded when it mattered most - their players perhaps paying the
price for the sheer amount of games they played in a long European season.
But the same could be said for Chile and Alexis Sanchez, in particular, has
struggled for fitness in this competition. The Arsenal forward struck the
winning penalty in this with an outrageous penalty and the noise erupted in the
Estadio Nacional.
Having never previously one anything on a football field at this level, Chile
changed their history with a wonderful win on Saturday for what will now be
considered their best team ever.
For Argentina, though, it is another chance wasted for this seemingly doomed
generation of players. And with many of the players pushing 30 or already
older than that, the opportunities are running out for this talented team.

ASUU Protests Over AAU Lecturer Kidnapped

Lecturers of the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, under the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, on Friday protested over the
disappearance of one of their colleagues, Dr. Paul Erie.
Erie, who is an Associate Professor of the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Extension, was reportedly kidnapped at his residence in
Igbanke, Orhiowmon Local Government Area of the state, on June 16, 2015.
It was gathered that the family of the university don was contacted two days
later by the kidnappers.
The aggrieved lecturers took their protest to the Ekpoma Police Division, the
palace of monarch in the area and a popular market square in the town to
register their grievances, decrying the spate of kidnapping of its members or
their relatives.
The chapter Chairman of the union, Professor Fred Esumeh, explained that the
suspected kidnappers had slashed the N30 million ransom demanded from the
family of the lecturer to N7 million.
“They (kidnappers) started with N30 million to N12 million and down to N7
million and suddenly stopped contact. The family was last contacted on June
19,” Esumeh said.
He added that the family was yet to get an update on rescue efforts by the
police.
But efforts by our correspondent to reach the Police Public Relations Officer,
DSP Stephen Onwochei, to either confirm or refute the claim were unsuccessful
at the time of filing the report.
However, the chapter chairman of ASUU, who also recalled that more than
eight lecturers of the institution had been kidnapped in the past, listed some of
them as Professor O. P. Nmorsi (Department of Religious and Cultural
Management), Professor E. E. Okoeguele (Botany Department), Dr. Justina
Ehikhiamen (Department of Philosophy) and Mrs. L. A. Osho (Vocation and
Technical Education).
Others are the wives of Prof. J. E. Osemekhian, Professor Raymond Aluede,
Professor I. A. Onimhawo and Dr. Ken Imarenezer of the Departments of
Physics, Educational Foundations, Biochemistry and Microbiology respectively.
He, therefore, appealed to security agencies and the Edo State Government, to
beef up security around the university in order the check the menace, which
according to him, could affect academic activities.
Esumeh said, “Teaching and learning cannot take place in an environment
where fear reigns supreme and insecurity is the order of the day.
“We believe that this ugly trend has become pervasive and almost a normal
thing because little or nothing has been done to apprehend the hoodlums as
they seem to be having a free day in their nefarious business.”

Man spends 50 years visiting every country in the world

Albert Podell, 78, and a former Playboy editor, has travelled the world over
a 50-year period. Podell was bitten by the travel bug at a very young age.
“Aged six, I started to collect postage stamps, and where the other kids
specialised in certain countries, I wanted a stamp from every country in the
world,” he told Daily Mail. “Getting a passport stamp from every one
may have been inspired by that.”
“Those little coloured bits of perforated paper also instilled in me a
fascination with travel because I wanted to see the lands where all the
objects, people, and places depicted on those stamps came from,” he said.
At 28, Podell led an expedition around the world, setting the record for the
longest automobile journey ever made around the earth. But as he grew older,
he realised that he wasn’t satisfied with traveling in bits and pieces.
“As I moved past middle age, I still wanted to do one grand and glorious
travel venture, to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and, after I
realized that I had been to 90 nations, I decided that I just might be able to
visit every one of the 196 countries during my allotted years,” he said.
Traveling has not exactly been smooth-sailing all the time, but Podell has
enjoyed every second of it. With an accommodation budget of about $10 per
night, he has spent several nights in his sleeping bag, “at border posts,
roadsides, jungles, glaciers, airport floors, and in hostels, tents, trailers,
trees, teepees, campers, cars, caravansaries, desert dugouts, and flea-bag
motels alternately sweating and freezing; dodging dengue- fever mosquitoes by
day and malarial ones by night.”
He’s also been through some truly terrifying moments, like the time when he
was unable to provide proof of not being Jewish to the Egyptian government,
or the time he was unable to prove that he was not CIA to the Cuban
secret police. He was also thrown in jail in Baghdad, when a conman
pretended that Podell had hit him with a car. Some of his hair-raising
moments include being stranded on Kiribati, robbed in Algiers and the Khyber
Pass, nearly lynched in East Pakistan where he was mistaken for an Indian
spy, and almost drowned in Costa Rica.
