DELSU, community mourn lecturer

Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, and Umukwata in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state, have described the death of a lecturer in Theatre Arts Department of the university, Dr. Ifeanyi Ogu-Raphael, as painful. The lecturer died recently after a brief illness.
Before his death, Ogu-Raphael, who had just finished his PhD thesis, was embroiled in a legal tussle to clear his name over an alleged rape case but which his friends said was only a set up.
Ogu-Rapheal had later went to court alleging felony, stealing and assault against three former students of the university before an Abraka Magistrate’s Court.
Many of his relations, colleagues and acquaintances at the funeral service at Ogbe-Umukwata in Ukwuani LGA, spoke glowingly of him.

DISCUSSION TIME: Luis Suarez has declared himself "100 per cent ready for el' classico"

   

The Uruguayan has been on the sidelines since his €86 million move from Liverpool to Camp Nou due to his four-month competitive football ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup But he is allowed to make his official debut for Luis Enrique's men in the showdown between the Spanish giants later this month, which comes after a Liga clash with Eibar and Champions League tie against Ajax.

Suarez, who played in friendlies for Uruguay in the current international break, stressed his lack of match action has not affected his fitness and that he is ready to make a difference for Barca.


"Before these games with Uruguay I was not able to play, but now I feel really good physically - better than I had expected. I'm 100 per cent ready.

"Adapting to Barca is not a problem, I just want to get out on the pitch and have fun. I'm at a club I always wanted to be at, I'll try to do the same in front of goal that I did for Liverpool, to do what the coach asks and score important goals."

Suarez added that it feels great to be honoured with the Golden Shoe alongside the likes of Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, whom is now a major rival since he left Anfield for Camp Nou.
"On a personal level it is always welcome to get awards like this but you do not get anywhere without all of one's team's effort every day," the striker added.

How fit and sure are we that Luis Suarez is ready for El' Classico in Ten days?
