Game Report, Nigeria vs Lebanon 95-72, GROUP A

SENDAI (FIBA World Championship) - Nigeria cruised to a 95-72 win over Lebanon to book their place in the second round and knock the Middle East side out of the competition a day after their historical win over France.

Eri Ebe led six players in double figures with 19 points as Sam Vincent's men snapped a three-game losing streak and played their best basketball of the group stages in their biggest game.

"This is the best game we've played so far in the tournament and it couldn't have been better timed. We needed a big win as no other result was going to get us to the second round. The players all seemed to click and they all contributed to this historical moment," he said.

Lebanon, coming off a shock upset of France last night, looked tired from the start and only led on the first basket of the game.

They trailed by eight at the end of the first quarter, 25-17, as Ime Udoku and Julius Nwosu did the damage early to lead Nigeria to its best offensive display so far.

Ten Ways to Marry the Wrong Person

By Rabbi Dov Heller, M.A.

With the divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a
serious mistake in deciding whom to spend the rest of their life
with. To avoid becoming a "statistic," try to internalise 10
insights.

1. You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married. The classic mistake. Never marry potential. The golden rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it, "You actually can expect people to change after their married...for the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure you can live with these as they are now.

2. You pick the wrong person because you focus more on chemistry than on character. Chemistry ignites the fire,

What a disaster

Families seek Nigeria crash dead
Wreckage of the plane
Many of the relatives saw the horrendous crash
Relatives of more than 100 people who died in a plane crash in Nigeria on Saturday have been gathering at mortuaries to try to identify victims.

More than 70 of those killed were pupils from a top secondary school.

The plane was travelling from the capital Abuja when it overshot the runway at Port Harcourt during a storm and burst into flames.

Investigators have begun sifting through the wreckage of the DC-9 and analysing the flight data recorders.

President Olusegun Obasanjo is to hold an emergency meeting with aviation officials to review air safety.

Clutching photographs, family members have been walking past badly burnt bodies laid out on the mortuary floor at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.

The bodies, which were still identifiable, had been sprinkled with disinfectant and tagged with numbers, in a room with no refrigeration or air-conditioning.

"All we can do now is bury our dead and mourn," one man, among hundreds of wailing relatives at the mortuary, told Reuters news agency. "There is so much suffering here."
