German Universities offers Free Tuition Fees For foreign students!!

Universities in Germany are now free of tuition fees for all including international students. Yesterday, Lower Saxony became the last of seven German states to abolish their tuition fees, which were already extremely low. An increasing number of Americans are taking advantage and saving tens of thousands of dollars to get their degrees.
German universities had been charging for tuition since 2006. The measure proved unpopular, and German states began dropping them one by one. It is now all gone throughout the country, even for foreigners.
This means that now, both domestic and international undergraduate students at public universities in Germany are able to study in Germany for free, with just a small fee to cover administration– usually between €150 and €250 (US$170-280)  – and other living expenses costs per semester (food, transport, accommodation, entertainment, course materials and other necessities).

How to Become an Air Traffic Controller in USA

If you're a good problem-solver who also loves aviation, this might be the perfect career for you. If you've ever traveled by plane, you know there are no traffic lights or police high in the air to direct planes in order to avoid mishaps. This is where you'd come in.
Air traffic controllers give pilots clearance for all takeoffs and landings and make sure all aircraft stays a safe distance apart by coordinating the movement of air traffic.
With safety being the primary concern, air traffic controllers must multi-task while making clear and concise decisions. For example, they might be directing one aircraft on its landing approach, while updating another pilot on the latest weather information.
Air traffic controllers work in control towers, approach control facilities or route centers throughout the country, which typically are not located at airports. Each center is assigned an airspace based on geography and altitude in the area in which it is located. At times, this job has the possibility to be stressful since total concentration is always required.
Job duties might include issuing landing and takeoff instructions to pilots and monitoring and directing movement of the aircraft on the ground or in the air using computers, radar or visual references.
In addition, they might control all ground traffic at the airport including baggage vehicles and airport workers and manage all incoming and outgoing communications regarding departing and arriving flights.
Air traffic controllers could also provide information to pilots like weather updates and runway closures and alert the airport staff in the event of an emergency.

How to become an air traffic controller

To become an air traffic controller, a person must be a U.S. citizen, pass medical, physical and background checks, make a qualifying score on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pre-employment test and complete a training course at the FAA Academy.
The FAA often requires applicants to have a degree from an Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) school. However, those with only a high school education will need to have years of progressive work experience or a combination of education and experience to qualify.
Necessary skills include decision-making and problem-solving, as well as strong communication, concentration, organizational and math skills.

Air traffic controller salary and growth outlook

The median annual wage for air traffic controllers was $122,530 in May 2012, reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), with an expected growth of 1% (little or no change) by 2022. Prospective students are encouraged to conduct independent research as salary potential and employment opportunities may vary depending on location, experience, education and other factors.

What Mandela said before he died-Dr Ahmed

"It is better to help a friend pay his fine,than tell a lie to help him cover a crime."  - Nigerian proverb.

People had once told Mandela that South Africa will become an alternative beacon of hope and inspiration for the black race and Africa,but he told them it was always going to be Nigeria. Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa can provide a tripod for real change but young Africans need to capture that vision.
Mandela was surprised when he was told I worked at the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but had spent 6 months trying to see him to pay my personal respects. Why did you not go through your colleagues here? I told him the visit was not official. I just wanted to meet him. He relaxed and apologized that it had taken that long for me to see him. Others left us, except a lady who sat discreetly away from us. I thought she was a medical person.

The next thing he said which i will not forget is "How are my Nigerian brothers and sisters? He asked me. He will not let me take the initiative.
“YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.
“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid.
“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.
“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.
“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.”
 As he shook my hand to say goodbye, he apologized again over his comments, but assured me that he would love to see Nigeria grow and develop into a world economic power under a democratic system.

Mozambique:Dhlakama Insists He Will Seize Power in March

Afonso Dhlakama, leader of Mozambique's former rebel movement Renamo, has claimed that last week's attempted assassination of the Renamo General Secretary, Manuel Bissopo, was an attempt to persuade Renamo to abandon its plans to seize power in six central and northern provinces as from March.

In a long interview published in the latest issue of the anti-government weekly “Canal de Mocambique”, Dhlakama declared “all this will finish”, and “Renamo will govern”. He claimed “I am organizing myself” to seize power in my target provinces (Manica, Sofala, Tete, Zambezia, Nampula and Niassa).

 Without offering any evidence, he claimed that the attack on Bissopo was the work of the ruling Frelimo Party, and returned to his past allegations that Frelimo has repeatedly tried to assassinate him. Since he was now in a bush hideout in the central district of Gorongosa, “where they know it will not be easy to catch me, they went to shoot against the person I left dealing with matters, who is the secretary-general”.
