Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas/File Photo. Microsoft Corp co-founder Paul Allen, the man who persuaded school-friend Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard to start what became the world’s biggest software company, died on Monday at the age of 65, his family said. Allen left Microsoft in 1983, before the company became a corporate juggernaut, following a dispute with Gates, but his share of their original partnership allowed him to spend the rest of his life and billions of dollars on yachts, art, rock music, sports teams, brain research and real estate. Allen died from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer, the Allen family said in a statement.

The Senator representing Lagos West, Solomon Olamilekan was abducted by unknown gunmen at the National Assembly on Thursday.
Olamilekan also known as Yayi, was picked up in front of the building housing the two chambers, but he later escaped.
An aide of the lawmaker told The Cable that the incident might not be unconnected to his call for the sack of all the service chiefs on Tuesday.
“Yesterday at the floor of the plenary, senator Yayi Adeola, while lending his voice to the killings in Nasarawa he called for the sacking of all service chiefs and heads of security agencies.
“Today, before the mace was seized, Senator Yayi Adeola was actually kidnapped. Not attempted kidnapped by unknown gunmen at the national assembly right in front of the white house.
“They took him all the way to the house of reps – they were trying to escape through the villa gate; it was at that point he had to maneuver and jumped out of the vehicle. As I speak to you, he still has a sprain on his leg,” the aide said.

ANTI GRAFT AGENCIES AND WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA

  By Eric David Nnaji ANTI GRAFT AGENCIES AND WAR AGAINST     CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA DEDICATION I wish to dedicate this term paper to God almighty. ACKNOWLEDGE I wish to acknowledge my able lecturer Dr. Isaiah Agbo and my parents for their financial support, I just want to say thank you and God bless you all.

But while the anti-graft agencies continued to arrest and arraign more individuals, including highly placed officials, for corruption, the general public expressed the view that the fight against corruption became increasingly inefficient under Yar'Adua.
