By Femi Akinpelu Joseph

The United manager remains unbeaten in 12 league games against his bitter rival, with the latter rival fortunate to avoid suffering a ninth defeat by the Portuguese boss on Saturday.

The Portuguese has taken charge of 12 top-flight matches against the Gunners, first at the helm of Chelsea and now United, winning a total of five while drawing seven.

Wenger will have his countryman Olivier Giroud to thank for his last-minute equalizer at Old Trafford which spared him another defeat by the Mourinho.

United took the lead through a Juan Mata’s 68 minute goal at the second half, until Giroud’s  89^th minute header that ensured that both teams shared the spoils.

To date, the Frenchman’s only win over his counterpart in 15 attempts came in the 2015 Community Shield, while he has drawn six and lost eight.

Nigerian Fresh Graduate Launches NGO To Train Unemployed Youths: (Photos)

A fresh Nigerian university graduate, Mr. Henry Nwogu has launched a Non-governmental charity Organization called iDENSAS NIGERIA, in Lagos, Nigeria. 

The event took place on Sunday 13th of November, 2016, at the multipurpose hall of Seventh-Day Adventist church, Maryland, Lagos. 

 According to Nwogu, the organization  (iDENSAS) was set up and targeted towards helping indigent students of higher institutions pay their school fees, and also to help train the underprivileged and unemployed youths in different trades and skills. 

The Computer Science graduate, who completed his first degree programme in Adeleke University, in 2016, said "This dream started way back when we were in the university, as we struggled through school to pay our fees, it was a tough one. But I thank God today because we made it through and the dream of helping other people and raising their hopes came to pass today".

       

One of guest speakers at the launching event, Pastor Seun Grillo advised the Nigerian youths on the need to embrace self-employment, he said "There are good jobs but there is a lack of people with skills. If you have the skills, it is the jobs that will pursue you". 

The second speaker, and lecturer at Babcock University, Ilishan, Dr. Nwaokocha Chibueze also hinted on the best ways to getting out of the current economy recession in the country, he advised during what was an interactive discussion, that people should "cut down expenses, discourage the idea of quick money, and be more creative".

He said further, "Entrepreneurship and skills acquisition should be merged together to ensure more efficiency and more profits. There should also be a connect, don't be selfish, help others who need to get opportunities for work or business. Don't do it (business) all alone". He concluded.

See Inside the $5.3 million Washington DC home, that the Obamas will move into after they leave the White House

It's not the White House, but it'll do.

The Obamas settled on a post-Pennsylvania Avenue house to call home after the president leaves office at the end of this year, according to Politico. They will lease the home until their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.

The home was listed for sale at $5.3 million before going off the market in May.

Though it's smaller than their current, more famous abode, it's still a lavish residence in a desirable area of the nation's capital. It was built in 1928, with 8,200 square feet and nine bedrooms.

It's being leased to the Obamas by Joe Lockhart, former President Bill Clinton's White House press secretary.

The Obamas are trading white for brick at their newly leased mansion in the Kalorama section of DC.

It's completely gated and private, though it sits close to the road.

The gated driveway has plenty of space for Secret Service vehicles.

Fake gas lanterns flank the entrance.

Going inside is a bit like stepping back in time.

The living room is stately.

The fireplace and mantle lend the home a rustic charm.

There are ample seating areas throughout the space.

The family room has a wall of sunny windows overlooking the garden out back.

The real family room is downstairs, though.

The kitchen is bright and updated, with marble countertops and luxury appliances.

It's also quite long.

Next to that is a large dining room — perfect for dinner parties.

Upstairs, the master suite has an attached sitting area.

A dressing room ...

A study ...

And plenty of bathroom space.

There are nine bedrooms in the home in total.

There's also another study upstairs, but the Oval Office it is not.

The laundry room in the basement doubles as a second kitchen.

Out back, the neat garden has plenty of room for relaxing and sunning outdoors.
