The capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, recently came alive as the Amstel Malta sponsored Tuface and Friends Campus Connect gig, which has been touring major universities made a historic stop in the city. In a night filled with exciting music display ably championed by ‘African Queen’ crooner, Innocent UjahIdibia, fondly called ‘Tuface’, students and a cross section of Abuja dwellers thronged the popular Tiffany Gardens in Gwagwalada to have a great time out with ‘Tubaba’ and Friends.

The Queen has paid her respects to Drummer Lee Rigby by meeting officers and soldiers at the barracks where the murdered soldier was stationed.
She met, in private, military personnel from Woolwich Station where Drummer Rigby lived and others he worked with in his regiment's outreach team.
Her visit came as a coroner was told his body could only be identified by his dental records after he was killed when he returned to his barracks following a day working at the Tower of London.
Drummer Rigby's family were not at Southwark Coroner's Court to hear the brief details of the circumstances surrounding his death last week, but they thanked the public for the 'overwhelming support'.
As his inquest was opened and adjourned they said in a statement: 'We would like to emphasise that Lee would not want people to use his name as an excuse to carry out attacks against others.'

Getting married can be a daunting prospect, but this bride has a good reason to look terrified.. she is being chased by a menacing T-Rex.
The amusing photo is the creation of Quinn Miller, 22, who digitally added the giant dinosaur chasing the entire wedding party out of the ceremony.
Mr Miller took the shot at the wedding of Katie Young, 23, and James Lowder, 21, from Louisiana at The Myrtles Plantation on Sunday.
He told io9.com that he had known the groom for a while and knew he was a fan of dinosaurs so he pitched the idea to him a few days before the wedding and he 'loved the concept.'

According to the police, the suspect, who works at a cemetery in Epe area of the state, sold human parts for a living, adding that he had become notorious in the area for selling human parts.
It was learnt that the suspect was arrested following a report by a resident who saw him displaying a skull for sale.
The grandfather, who could not give his exact age, said he started selling human parts because he was poor and jobless.
He said:
“I live at 2,Tungbehin Street, Epe. I have two children and I am a grandfather. I have always been poor all my life because I had no formal or informal education. I used to be a fisherman but when there were no longer fishes in rivers in my area, I became a gardener at Epe Local Government Secretariat.
“About four years ago, the LG said they no longer needed my services so I started trimming grass at a cemetery in the area.”
The suspect, who did not deny the allegations, said there was nothing wrong in selling dead people’s parts since the dead never used them.
He said one day, while he was clearing weeds in the cemetery, he noticed a human skull which had been dug up.
He said, “Most times, when a corpse is not buried with a coffin, the possibility of the corpse resurfacing is very high. So, what workers at the cemetery do is to gather some of the corpses and burn them instead of burying them again.
“I realised that this was not a smart thing to do since it would be better to make money from it. The families of these dead people never care about them once they are buried and weeds had taken over the cemetery.”
The suspect said he sold only two corpses while he had on numerous occasions given them out for free.
He said, “I have sold only two human heads. I sold the first one for N1, 000 while I sold the second one for N1, 500. Last week, a resident approached me saying an herbalist needed the head so I got a decomposed head, for him, washed it and put it on a fence to dry.
“A resident saw me and raised the alarm and that was how I was arrested.”
PUNCH Metro had reported last week that five people, including an herbalist, were arrested for selling human parts.
A police source told one of our correspondents that the trend was common in areas where public cemeteries were situated.
“Areas which are not located in the metropolis and have cemeteries have become the hideout for cartels which specialise in sale of human parts. We (police) have reason to believe that some of these human parts dealers also engage in ritual killing,” he said.
The source added that efforts were going on to arrest other human parts sellers in the area.
When contacted on the telephone, the spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed Kayode’s arrest. She said he had been transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.

Helpless: A full stretch Hart couldn't keep Long's header out despite a despairing dive
So. It turns out there is a bit more to playing like Germany than a round-neck collar and darker dye in the shorts. England changed their kit, but they didn’t change their spots.
A mediocre draw with the Republic of Ireland did little to calm the fears that this team may wish to make the most of the forthcoming visit to Brazil, lest it be the last for a while.
This was not about how England will fare in the Maracana Stadium on Sunday, but about what this group will bring to crucial matches with Montenegro and Poland at home, and Ukraine away, next season. There was little here to inspire confidence.
