ECU releases 2021-22 non-conference schedule


East Carolina will play eight home games while it travels to Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Charlotte as part of its 12-game 2021-22 non-conference schedule.
The Pirates will open the season with three consecutive home games, hosting South Carolina State (Nov.9), Canisius (Nov. 12) and Western Carolina (Nov. 14) within the first six days before heading to the Grand Strand for the Myrtle Beach Invitational.
The Bulldogs of SC State return to Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum for the first time since 2015, while the Golden Griffins will make their maiden voyage to Greenville to play the Pirates for the first time since clashing in Columbia, Mo., in 1981. ECU and WCU will meet for the first time since 2005.
ECU is slated to face Oklahoma in the first round of the Myrtle Beach Invitational on Nov. 18 and then square off against either Old Dominion or Indiana State on day two (Nov. 19). The Pirates will conclude tournament play against an opponent to be determined: Davidson, New Mexico State, Penn or Utah State, following an off day on Nov. 21.
After a six-day hiatus, the Pirates return to the hardwood Nov. 27 against Coppin State to start a four-game homestand followed by games against Old Dominion (Nov. 30), Gardner-Webb (Dec. 4) and North Carolina A&T (Dec. 7). 
The second homestand of the season features opponents who have visited Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum more recently. ECU will host Coppin State for the third time in the last five years with N.C. A&T making its sixth trip east for the sixth time in nine years. Gardner-Webb is back on the schedule for the first time since 2012, while ODU returns to the slate for the first time since 2014 when the Monarchs and Pirates were both Conference USA members.
ECU wraps up non-conference play following the exam break with two games. The Pirates will challenge Liberty (Dec. 17) at the inaugural Basketball Hall of Fame Shootout at Spectrum Center in Charlotte before closing out the slate at home against Southern Miss (Dec. 21). It’ll be their second game against Liberty in three years and first versus the Golden Eagles since 2014.
Tip times and TV designations will be announced at a later date, as will the finalized American Athletic Conference slate.

NO CURFEW, EVERYTHING REMAINS INTACT IN LAGOS SAYS DR(MRS) JOKE SANWO-OLU

Image
The wife of  Lagos State Governor, Dr( Mrs) Joke Sanwo-olu has taken to alert the general public contrary to misinformation  that curfew has not been announced in Lagos  State. She said "The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space." Relying on expert advice the Governor said the disinfectant is non toxic, noting that the exercise has commenced. He said: I'm pleased to note that we have taken possession of over 200 disinfecting machines, and starting today, we will be disinfecting all major highways, bus stops, markets, parks and other public areas." The Governor also said during a live press conference that if there's a need for curfew, Government won't hesitate to impose it. For now, everything remains the way they are

Nigeria Celebrates 58th Independence Anniversary; Nigeria Still Under Servitude.

Image
By YUSUFF Oladeji Afeez (SIR-USEFUL) Before I attempt to analyse the theme/topic of this piece, the questions we should pose in our minds are : What is Independence? Has Nigeria gotten Independence? If truly Nigeria has gotten Independence, Why is she still in servitude? According to Merriam Webster Dictionary,  Independence is "the freedom from outside control or support". Independence is also seen as the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. In the process of providing a definition to the word, "Independence", I noticed a  keyword, present,  in the definitions of Independence, supplied earlier in this piece,  which is "FREEDOM". And according to me, "Freedom is knowing the right thing, and doing the right thing,  which is the only way to  liberate one's self (someone)  from slavery."
