Falana is your lawyer, invite Falz his son for protest instead of Burna Boy, Nigerians tell Sowore


After inviting Nigerian artiste, Burna Boy to join the #RevolutionNow protest on October 1st, Nigerians have called out on Omoyele Sowore to invite Falz who is the son of his lawyer, Femi Falana instead of Burna Boy.

Sowore had on Tuesday in a Tweet said Burna Boy is usually compared to legendary musician and revolutionary, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

According to Sowore, even the foreign media celebrate and compare Burna to Fela, but he is yet to lead any protest.

He wrote “Hello @burnaboy, everywhere I turn people describe you as a revolutionary musician, the foreign media even celebrate you compare you to Fela Kuti, but I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state! Join #Oct1stProtest #RevolutionNow”

Burna Boy who rejected the invitation said that “Everybody is a Fela fan and supporter now that he is dead. Humans are so Funny, You politicians are ALL the same (especially in Nigeria) and Frankly, I don’t trust any of you. ”

In further response, the former presidential candidate Sowore said: “I am not just one of the persons who you could describe as “Fela’s fan after he died,” I am a member of Fela’s household, ask @RealSeunKuti , as a student’s leader in the 90s I met and hung out with Abami Eda at home and the African shrine! If you want to be Fela be Fela.”

Reacting to the comments by both figures, some Nigerians urged Sowore to invite Falz who is a more Fela-figure than Burna Boy to protest with him.

@tony_divine81 wrote on Twitter “Femi Falana is your lawyer and he has a son that calls himself Falz, who is also a musician as Burna. Why are you not calling him out to join you in your national charade? Besides, why are you begging people to join you if you are on the right course”

@Amuaee “You’re not fighting for Sowore, d guy is bloody comfortable. You should fight for d millions of Nigerians who enjoyed ur music, yet have no access to basic of life. Also coming out openly to discard ds protest is giving d govt upper hand”

@mr_sobowale “Tuface later led the #votenotfight campaign. Falz created a platform where he exposed aspiring presidential aspirants for the stock they were made of and raised awareness on the need to vote right. You think filling Fela’s shoes is about smoking weed alone?”

@YorubaBoy_ “Falz is more of a Fela than Burn boy. you can’t even argue that!”

@Nsukka_okpa “If na by music Dem dey take carry person join protest, go carry Falz. Na him sing one full album untop injustice.”

@steveabbey_ “For me, Burna Boy is doing enough with his music. Falz is another musician who is also speaking up. Sowore is coming for the wrong people. Target those who aren’t doing a thing.”

@ButtyGhetto “While y’all are dragging Burna to a protest, let’s not forget Falz is also a music activist and we haven’t seen him in a physical protest for once. Abi i lie ? Man shrugging”

@OgbeniDipo “Sowore is right though. If you want to be associated with Fela you should have the liver to lead the people and demand better from the government.”

@blaqbouiy “Falz released moral instruction close to election period to warn us though Nigerians were deaf to his message, where was Burna boy then, buh now he is coming out to say yenyenyen after claiming fela Face with tears of joy baba we dey enjoy your music for music sake nothing more or less.”

@Cap_Leviiii “When it comes to activism through music, I’ll pick Falz over Burna any day. The only person that actually addresses the salient issues undiluted and not the one that puts the youths down to feel good about himself. “Come and put your words into action” werey dey disguise. Tch”

@iSlimfit “People might say Sowore is trying to make Burna Boy an instrument to actualize his agenda, but the point for me is that if you can talk the talk, you should be able to walk the talk. No be by calling people cowards in your song. I’m sure Fela won’t be proud right now.”

@ill_nojie “Burna boy claims fella blood flows in his veins but Yet he hates politicians.

I see that he’s only carrying fela for business gains. Fela was a politician too like Sowore and even contested for president”.

@Letter_to_Jack “Burna Boy: Nigerian youths are cowards, scared to fight etc. (from his album)

Yele Sowore: Burna Boy, join us in a protest against the government.

Burna Boy: I don’t trust Nigerian politicians, they are all the same.

So you didn’t know this when you were calling us names?”

@therealdaddymo1 “Burna Boy alluded to Nigerians being cowards in a song when it comes to standing up for themselves & I guess his refusal to take a stand when called out by Sowore hit a nerve. He claims to walk in the footsteps of Fela but it’s only in songs we hear this.”

@Letter_to_Jack “The point of Sowore and Burna boy’s exchange is: African Giant who is so quick to call the youths many names is running away from a protest invitation, deflecting and shaming the person asking him to join them. You knew this yet you called the youths names??”

@_TheThirdEstate “I see a lot of people saying trash about burner because he refused to lead a protest..people that cant tell their bosses to give them a day off. Any bloodshed during the protest is just gonna be a waste for this country whether Sowore or Burna leads it”

@MrLekanAdigun “Sowore, as far as I’m concerned, is just campaigning for 2023. He can’t become Nigeria’s president even in his marijuana-induced hallucinations. If he campaigns from now till 2031, he’ll remain just the nuisance he is. Even drug addicts know that “Colorado” isn’t for small boys!”

Willow Smith speaks about mum Jada Smith having an affair.... says i'm "so proud" of her

Willow Smith has spoken out about her mum Jada Pinkett Smith having an affair with singer August Alsina and said that she is "so proud" of her.

The 19-year-old daughter of Jada, 49, and Hollywood star Will Smith. 52, sat down for a Red Table Talk session on Facebook Watch and revealed her thoughts on her parents' marriage almost crumbling.

The teenager said that they were "the real deal" when they spoke about Jada having an "entanglement" with August and how Will felt about his wife being with another man.

Will and Jada said they were amid a private separation at the time, so it wasn't viewed as 'cheating' as their marriage was effectively over when Jada hooked up with 28-year-old August.

Willow sat down with her mum, grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and their guest Brene Brown to discuss vulnerability in an episode of the talk show that aired on September 28.

Willow wasted no time in sharing her thoughts on her parents speaking openly about their marriage and how they have now repaired their differences.

She said: "I’m so proud of you, to be able to see you and Dad do that, for me, that was like, OK that was the real deal."

Willow continued: "That’s real love. When you can be like, ‘I’m with you, I’m gonna stand by you, and I’m gonna hold your hand because I love you’, that’s what we do and that’s really important."

What was initially seen as an explosive reveal all about the state of Will and Jada's marriage has now become an example of how couples can overcome challenging situations.

They have been married since 1997 and Will told Jada during their showdown on RTT: "I really felt like we could be over."

He continued: “We came together young and we were both broken in our own ways, and to be able to make mistakes without the fear of losing your family is so critical."

Jada replied at the time: "One of the things that I’m deeply grateful in this whole process between you and I is that we have really gotten to that new place of unconditional love.”

Will hit back: “Cause’ I wasn’t sure I was ever going to speak to you again. The fact that I’m speaking to you again is a miracle.”

Jada said near the end of their chat: "You gotta go through some s*** to get the answers. I’m just happy because I definitely believe you and I never ever, ever thought we’d make it back.”

UN Secretary General warns 'there is no end in sight to coronavirus, loss of jobs and disruption of education'

The head of the UN has warned 'there is no end in sight' to coronavirus after the number of global fatalities hit the 'mind-numbing' level of one million.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it 'an agonising milestone,' in a statement released after the world - with more than 33 million cases - reached a million deaths. 

He warned 'there is no end in sight to the spread of the virus, the loss of jobs, the disruption of education, the upheaval to our lives.' 

The United States has recorded the most deaths with more than 200,000, followed by Brazil, more than 142,000; India, 96,000; Mexico, 76,000; and the United Kingdom, 42,090.  

Guterres added: 'It's a mind-numbing figure. Yet we must never lose sight of each and every individual life. They were fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues.

'The pain has been multiplied by the savageness of this disease. Risks of infection kept families from bedsides. And the process of mourning and celebrating a life was often made impossible.'  

Still he said he said the pandemic could be overcome with responsible leadership, cooperation and science, as well as precautions such as social distancing and wearing face masks. He said any vaccine must be 'available and affordable to all.' 

Covid-19: Some passengers with negative PCR tests, still test positive on arrival - PTF

The Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 on Tuesday justified the repeat Covid-19 test being conducted on international travellers after seven days of their arrival to the country.

The National Coordinator of the PTF, Dr Sani Aliyu, said at the taskforce’s briefing in Abuja that a significant number of 80 out of the 2,403 tests carried out when the exercise began turned out to be positive.

He said this was despite the fact that the travelers who tested positive arrived in the country with a negative PCR test.

“Of the 2,403 passengers that were tested in Lagos when we started the exercise, 80 were positive. Meanwhile, they had negative Covid-19 PCR test,” he said.

He said the repeat test would have been unnecessary if the country had “a system of enforcement of isolation such that everybody coming into the country self-isolated effectively for two weeks.”

Aliyu also warned foreign travelers to pay to only laboratories on the travel portal of the government for their repeat tests.

Aliyu said, “No Federal Government agency is receiving these funds. The negotiation for the cost is between the state governments and the private labs themselves.

“The charges range between N35,600 for the Kano portal which we are just about to operationalise to N50,400 for Lagos.”

Suspected cultists kill Delta girl, remove vital organs

There was pandemonium at Umusume community, Obiaruku, in the Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State yesterday as residents discovered the lifeless body of a young lady.

The lady, identified as Miss Anwuli Agu, in her 20s was said to have been killed by hoodlums.

The incident, which was said to have occurred on Monday, caused panic among residents of the community.

A source in the community told Punch that the lady was murdered and dumped on the premises of the Esume-uku Primary School, Obiaruku, by the hoodlums.

“We are suspecting that the killing of the girl is for ritual purposes, because some of her vital organs are missing with her hair shaved off,” the source stated.

He said the remains of the victim were evacuated from the scene of the incident by police personnel from the Obiaruku Division.

Khloe Kardashian accused of changing looks to mimic Beyonce with 'new face'

Khloe Kardashian has come under scrutiny yet again after looking wildly different from her old self in new snaps.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 36, has been announced as the face of beauty subscription service Ipsy and appears in new promotional shots for the brand.

But the campaign has drawn attention for the wrong reasons, as many have said she looks "unrecognisable" in the photos.

Some have even accused her of trying to look like Beyonce, with one saying she looks like a "drag" version of the Crazy In Love singer.

In the photos Khloe wears dark fake tan and a bright pink outfit.

The styling looks eerily similar to Beyonce's look in the music video for Destiny's Child track Bootylicious.

And the comparison was made by plenty of Twitter users.

One tweeted: "Somebody PLEASE tell me why Khloe Kardashian is doing Beyonce cosplay?" 

"Khloe is in full-on Beyonce drag now," another posted.

A third said: "Not Khloe Kardashian trying to be Beyonce ?!! New month, new face."

Another agreed: "Help I was looking at this for 30 seconds and didn't even realise it was Khloe Kardashian.

"Genuinely thought it was Beyonce."

Khloe has been accused of changing up her face with surgery, which she has never commented on.

The counsel for the defendant, Femi Adetoye, also called no witness.


Chinese county declares emergency over Black Death plague

China has declared a PLAGUE emergency after a three-year-old boy was struck down by the Black Death.

The child, from a remote village in Menghai county, Yunnan, in the south west of the country, was confirmed to be infected by the killer disease yesterday, state media reports.

Chinese authorities in the region have started a level IV emergency response to prevent another epidemic following the Covid-19 outbreak, reported Global Times.

This follows the discovery of three dead disease-ridden rats in a village in Menghai which sparked a national screening programme.

Bubonic plague is a bacterial disease spread by fleas living on wild rodents and can kill an adult in less than 24 hours if not treated in time.

Also known as the 'Black Death', the illness killed up to 200 million people in the 14 century.

Authorities said a severe rat infection has broken out in Yunnan earlier this month.

This comes after a plague outbreak in neighbouring Mongolia which has seen 22 reported cases - six of which have been confirmed.

The latest is a 25-year-old woman who has been hospitalised with the disease after eating an infected rodent called a marmot.

She is held in isolation in Khovd province along with 19 people she contacted.


FFK pours encomium on his wife, Regina amidst marital crisis

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode took to his instagram page to celebrate his Ghanaian wife, Regina amidst reports of his marital crisis with the mother of his sons and ex-beauty queen, Precious Chikwendu.

In a lengthy post, he praised Regina for loving him unconditionally and not objecting when he took a second wife. 

He wrote;

''O Daughter of Zion, how great thou art and how mighty is our God! My wife yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever: utterly fearless and ever so strong. God bless you for your love, honesty and loyalty.

From 1993 when we first met you have always been candid, honest and true with me even when I refused to listen and from 1997 when we got married you have always been kind, loyal, faithful, forgiving, patient, understanding, gentle, long-suffering and loving.

I guess that is why you have always been the strongest and most powerful force in my life.

I took a second wife who I also loved and you did not object.

I had other children and you welcomed them with love, understanding and kindness. Such selflessness is rare and utterly astounding.

Your courage and resilience is second to none and your faith in our God is inspiring and exempelary.

Without you I would have been nothing today, I would not know God and neither would He have been so kind and good to me.

Thank you for your constant prayers, for your comforting words and for always standing by me even in the most trying and challenging times.

The enemy sold a lie and you stood on truth. This has been your disposition and practice for the last 27 years ever since I have known you and from the very first day I set my eyes on you.

That day you were a sight to be seen: so filled with wisdom, knowledge, passion and love, so beautiful and so dedicated to the work of God and the spreading of the gospel.

You are a Daughter of Light and a Handmaiden of the Living God. You are divinely empowered and your endless compassion and powers of perception, insight, foresight, oratory and understanding are simply extraordinary.

Such fortitude! Such resilience! Such faith! Such love! Such loyalty! Such gallantry! Such courage!

You are a rare gift from God and the truth is that, right from the outset, I never deserved you.

God bless you, our beautiful daughter Oluwaremilekun and all our other children. I shall cherish you and love you until the day that I die. I shall never forget how you called me your poet/warrior.

I shall always remember how you gave all and sacrificed all just for me. (CONTINUED👇👇👇)

I shall never forget how you saw in me what others refused to see.

I shall never forget your love, your agape love, and how you always forgave me when I got it wrong.

I shall never forget how we weathered every storm together and how you always proudly stood with me in the fray.

My love for you is unquestionable, unimpeachable and irrepressible and it stands forever.

The Lord guard and guide you, O servant of the Living God! The Lord be with you now and always, O faithful one! The Lord watch over you forever, O Daughter of Zion! ❤❤❤💋💋💋👄👄👄''

A.I. robot serves customers at Seoul restaurant


 “Aglio Kim”, a trolley-like robot which uses artificial intelligence (A.I.), is delivering food to customers at a restaurant in Seoul, in order to minimise human contact and help ensure social distancing.

Shortly after customers order through a touch-screen on the table, the 1.25-meter-tall robot, developed by South Korean telecoms company KT Corp, brings the food and uses its visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) capabilities to avoid obstacles and navigate around customers.

The robot can deliver food to up to four tables at once, KT’s AI Platform Business Team leader Lee Young-jin told Reuters.

The A.I. robot is equipped with food trays which can carry up to 30 kilograms and an LCD screen and speaker that communicate in both Korean and English.

“Customers found the robot serving quite unique and interesting, and also felt safe from the coronavirus,” said Lee Young-ho, a manager at the Mad for Garlic restaurant which has tested the robot this month.

From Monday, restaurants and cafes in the densely populated Seoul metropolitan area are allowed to open after 9 p.m., but must leave two metres between tables and record patrons’ names and contact details.

Ondo election: Many injured, over 20 vehicles, motorcycles destroyed as APC, PDP supporters clash in Owo [Photos]

 


Political violence rocked Ipele community in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State on Tuesday as supporters of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Eyitayo Jegede and that of the All Progressives Congress, APC, clashed.

The clash was said to have occurred when the campaign train of the PDP arrived in the community.

Following the incident, Jegede alleged that policemen supervised the attack on his campaign train by thugs.

According to Jegede, who spoke through his campaign’s Head of Media Research, Kayode Fasua, the political thugs suspected to be from the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC attacked supporters of the PDP upon their entry into Ipele.

Specifically, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO of Ipele was alleged to have backed the thugs all through the attack.

Meanwhile, the camp of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has accused the PDP candidate of instigating the attack in the community.

While emphasizing the PDP is crying more than the bereaved, the Spokesperson of the Akeredolu/Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organization, Olabode Richard Olatunde stated that “Eyiyato Jegede SAN, ordered his thugs to unleash coordinated attacks on the innocent people of Ipele and Ijebu in Owo local government area. Our people were traumatized with the sound of gunshots sporadically by Eyiyato Jegede thugs in Owo today.

“Sensing that the PDP might be in the main town, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, ordered his campaign convoy to take another route out of the town.

“Despite this, Eyitayo Jegede and the PDP still went ahead to cause mayhem in Owo by attacking innocent members of the public and anyone with APC or Akeredolu branded caps or T-Shirt.

“No fewer than 20 cars were destroyed and many innocent people of Ipele and Ijebu Owo injured. Motorcycles were burnt and the streets of Ipele littered with shells of bullets.

“This intimidation to scare the people of Owo from coming out to vote massively for their son will not work. The people are resolved to support Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

“We must also note that the PDP went berserk when no one received them into Owo. They obviously prepared to come into the ancient town for attacks and violence not to campaign.”

Independence Parade: FG orders blockage of all routes leading to Eagle Square


Ahead of the parade to mark Nigeria’s 60th Independence anniversary on Oct.1, the Federal Government has ordered that all routes leading to the Eagle Square should be blocked from midnight on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced this in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.

The Minister said that the blockage is part of measures put in place to further enhance security in and around Eagle Square, venue of the Independence ceremony located in the heart of Abuja.

He said that Shehu Shagari Way, Ahmadu Bello Way, outward and inward-bound Airport Roads and adjoining roads would be blocked to traffic.

The Minister added that the Federal Secretariat Complex would be evacuated by 2.00 pm on Wednesday.

He explained that by the evacuation, all workers within the precincts of the Eagle Square must vacate their offices from the time.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Thursday parade and Presidential broadcast is the climax of the events lined up for the 60th independence anniversary celebration.

NAN reports that the celebration has been in full swing following the launch of the theme and logo by Mr President.

So far, a public lecture, Special Jumat Service, an Inter-denominational Church Service and the launch of the National Ethics and Integrity Policy, as well as the Integrity Award to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ICPC, had been held.

A historical exhibition titled “Nigeria: A Country of Colours and Tongues”, has also been held.

The federal government has also announced that the Diamond Jubilee would be a year-long celebration with the hosting of staggering events until 30 Sept. 2021.

Trump arrives in Cleveland for first debate with Biden


President Donald Trump arrived in Cleveland on Tuesday ahead of the first of three election debates with challenger Joe Biden.

“He’s ready to go,” a senior campaign official told reporters on Air Force One.

The official said Trump was bringing former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani — now a controversial lawyer for the president — and mixed martial arts fighter Colby Covington as guests.

Frontrunner Joe Biden and an increasingly struggling Donald Trump traded jabs Tuesday hours ahead of a first presidential debate that promised to be as nasty and unpredictable a clash as American voters have ever seen.

Before they’d even met on the stage in Cleveland for the first of three 90-minute live television clashes, Biden made public his tax returns to capitalize on revelations by The New York Times that the billionaire Trump avoided paying almost any federal income taxes for years.

Trump’s reported mastery of loopholes to pay just $750 in federal tax during the first year of his presidency has given Biden an opening to paint the Republican as a phony when he says he represents America’s working classes. By contrast, Biden’s returns show that he and his wife Jill paid a hefty $299,346 in federal income taxes for 2019.

While Biden tees up what is likely to be a central weapon in the debate, Trump’s team leaned in on its lurid narrative that the Democrat challenger is senile and needs help to get through the debate.

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Biden take a test for performance enhancing drugs.

And on Tuesday, his campaign, echoed by Trump-friendly Fox News, launched into new conspiracy theory territory by loudly demanding that Biden be checked for a secret earpiece — presumably to give him answers in the debate.

“Joe Biden’s handlers several days ago agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces but today abruptly reversed themselves and declined,” Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 communications director, said in a statement.

The campaign also claimed that Biden had asked for “multiple breaks during the debate, which President Trump doesn’t need.”

Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield called all this “absurd” and shot back with her own bit of rumor mongering, claiming that Trump’s team had tried unsuccessfully to ensure that the debate moderator, Fox News’ Chris Wallace, would never mention the number of US deaths from Covid-19

“See how easy that was to try to throw up a distraction?” she was quoted as saying by Politico.

Trump flew into in Cleveland Tuesday afternoon ahead of the debate, with a senior official on Air Force One telling reporters: “He’s ready to go.”

The official said Trump was bringing former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani — now a controversial lawyer for the president — and mixed martial arts fighter Colby Covington as guests.

The pre-game trash talk gave a flavor of what the two camps are trying to achieve.

Trump, behind in national and swing state polls, is considered a master at changing the subject and stirring outrage.

Biden wants to keep the debate firmly fixed on Trump’s biggest liabilities — the more than 200,000 coronavirus deaths and the tax avoidance uproar.

Covid-19 restrictions will give the debate a streamlined look with a smaller audience. Naturally, there won’t be the once standard — even if forced — show of goodwill in shaking hands.

What Americans will get, however, is a chance finally to see Trump, 74, and Biden, 77, side by side.

And Trump, who fancies his skills as a verbal pugilist, is expected to hit hard and low.

Carabao Cup: Tottenham dump Chelsea out


Chelsea are out of the Carabao Cup, after losing on penalties to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.

Frank Lampard’s men took the lead in the first half, after Timo Werner slammed in his first goal for the club.

The hosts eventually levelled late in the second half, as Erik Lamela appeared unmarked at the far post to prod the ball home.

Spot-kicks were taken to decide which team qualifies for the quarter-finals.

Chinese teacher sentenced to death for poisoning children

A kindergarten teacher in China has been sentenced to death for poisoning dozens of children in an act of revenge against a colleague that left one toddler dead.

A court in the central Chinese province of Henan said Wang Yun put sodium nitrite into porridge being prepared for her colleague’s students, sickening 25.

The attack took place in March 2019 and left one boy severely ill for months before he died in January this year, according to news reports.

The Jiaozuo City Intermediate People’s Court on Monday said Wang knew sodium nitrite was harmful but went ahead “with no regard for the consequences”, leaving many innocent children in hospital.

News reports last year said the children began vomiting and fainting after eating their breakfast.

Kindergarten students in China are aged between three and six.

The death sentence was handed to Wang this week for the offense of using dangerous substances.

Sodium nitrite is used for curing meats but can be toxic when ingested in high amounts.

Wang concealed her reasons for the poisoning after carrying out the crime and her “motives were despicable”, the court said.

Her “criminal methods and circumstances were exceedingly bad, with especially severe circumstances, and she should be severely punished in accordance with the law,” the sentencing statement said.

The court added that Wang and the manager of the kindergarten must compensate the children’s families.

It was not the first time Wang used sodium nitrite to poison someone, authorities said. In 2017 she put it in her husband’s mug, causing him minor injuries.

In March last year, 36 primary school students in southwest China’s Sichuan province were hospitalized after eating “moldy food”.
