                         FIFA suspends Ivorian federation election after the body disqualified Didier Drogba from presidential elections

Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba's hopes of becoming the next president of the Ivory Coast Football Federation has been given a new lifeline after football's governing body, FIFA on Friday August 28th requested the suspension of the Ivory coast Football federation's election after the body disqualified the former Chelsea striker from the elections.

 

FIF's threw away Drogba's candidacy saying he had only received the official support of two of a required four Ivorian clubs.

Drogba's election team said on Thursday it expected FIF's decision which claimed he was ineligible to run for the position.

 

"Drogba's staff isn't surprised by this decision to reject the bid. But we remain unfazed. We will react to conform to the texts which surround this election," Mahamadou Sangare, a member of Drogba's team, told AFP.

Now FIFA has waded in.

"We request the suspension of all action in relation to the election process until further notice," a documen released by FIFA, dated August 27, 2020 and sent to FIF said.

Drogba is standing against FIF's former third vice-president Idriss Diallo, as well as the current vice-president of the national body and president of the League Sory Diabate.

 

Trump could start a civil war by not leaving the White House if he’s beaten by Joe Biden - Veteran filmmaker Spike Lee

 


Trump could start a civil war by not leaving the White House if he?s beaten by Joe Biden - Veteran filmmaker Spike Lee

Veteran Hollywood filmmaker, Spike Lee has warned that US president Donald Trump could start up a civil war if he decides not to leave the White House if he's beaten by Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, in the November election.

 

The director's comments came in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Friday August 27.


Lee in the interview said the "hate"that is spread by Trump is "heartbreaking." He spoke about the recent shooting of Jacob Blake, and how "black and brown people" and "black and brown trans people are being shot down like animals."

 

"We have so much hate in the world – specifically the United States of America," Lee said.

"This guy in the White House, and what he's done, and what this just, level of hate, Anderson, it's heartbreaking," Lee told Cooper.

 

Lee added that he "prays to God" that Trump is "out" of the White House on November 3.

"I think you talked about this, too. I have — I think there’s going to be shenanigans, some skulduggery that if he loses, particularly in a close vote, he might not want to leave,” Lee said.

“Anderson, are we coming to a civil war? Lee asked.

"The next civil war in the United States of America. I ask you that question.”

 

Lee admitted he "can't have a restful sleep" because "black and brown people being burdened, shot down, for no other reason because of their skin.

 

The BlacKkKlansman and Chiraq director's comments comes a week after Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump would "investigate ballots" before accepting the result of the November election.

"The president has always said he’ll see what happens and make a determination in the aftermath," McEnany said as she was questioned by reporters about Trump's unsupported claims that mail-in voting will cause fraud.

"It’s the same thing he said last November."

"He wants a free election, a fair election, and he wants confidence in the results of the election, particularly when you have states like Nevada doing mass mail-out voting to their voting rolls," McEnany added.

Tips on How to Become an Influencer












It seems influencers are ruling the world these days. Everywhere you look, be it in any field of business, it is the people with the maximum number of followers who are making the most amount of money. The funny thing about becoming an influencer is that unlike most other businesses, it takes very little investment. At least, in terms of money, but you will have to give it all the time you’ve got.



Since influencers are so popular, more people nowadays dream of becoming one. To do that, you have to think of a niche that suits you best. Moreover, you also need to lose all your inhibitions. Part of being an influencer is continuously being in the eye of the public. As a result, unless you have a thick skin and can take compliments and criticism in equal amounts, you won’t last long. Once mentally prepared to take on the challenge, it is time to get down to a strategy that will help you become an influencer as fast as possible.
Be Visual

Our content nowadays is such that you have to be visual to stand out. Whether it is posting photos on Instagram or making videos for TikTok, the more you interact with your audience, the better the chance of influencing them. Moreover, since there are so many people trying to do the same thing, it is equally essential that the quality of your product is the best. Merely posting photos will not get you social media followers. You need to make sure that these photos or video content is unique and stands out, for it to get noticed.




Make a Video

Okay, so we are not talking about that kind of a video, although it would undoubtedly put you in the limelight really fast. Since most people like to keep our personal lives, private, the other option is to make entertaining videos that everyone enjoys watching. As a content creator and future influencer, one place to start is by watching some of the viral videos already uploaded on channels like YouTube. People particularly like animal videos, funny accidents, and ingenious chain reaction machines that you can then replicate in your own way. Remember, all it takes for you to become famous is one video, so keep trying different things and see how your audience reacts to them.
Be Controversial

Not easy for everyone, but several influencers became famous because they were controversial. However, this is a double-edged sword, and it can very easily backfire as well. So, if you plan to create a controversy by joining a hot topic of debate, make sure you do that for the right reason and can back it up. Moreover, controversy is useful when you are new and don’t have a huge follower base. It isn’t always the best tactic when you are already an influencer as it can make you unpopular amongst your present audience.
Start A Blog

To become an influencer by starting a blog takes a long time, but it is more rewarding. There are many travel and fashion bloggers in the world right now who get to go to places, stay in the top hotels and make money from it. However, all of them have had to slog it out to reach that point in their career. If you are passionate about something, and becoming an influencer is not a priority, blogging is the way to go.

''My children's abductors have asked for £100, 000 ransom'' - Father of twin children abducted in Oyo state one week ago, reveals












It's been one week since the two year old twin children of popular Oyo state Islamic cleric, Sheik Taofeeq Akewugbagold, were abducted from their home in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.



The cleric who disclosed the kidnap in a post on his Facebook page in the early hours of Sunday April 26, announced that his children, a boy and a girl, were kidnapped at gunpoint at his Ojoo residence on Saturday night, April 25.



The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Fadeyi Olugbenga, who confirmed the incident to LIB, said efforts are being made by the state operatives to locate the abductors and rescue the children alive. However it's been one week now and the twins are still with their abductors.



LIB reached out to children's father, Taofeeq Akewugbagold, who disclosed that the abductors have contacted him and are demanding for £100, 000 ransom for their release.


''We have been contacted and we have been exchanging conversations with the abductors. We are begging them on a daily basis to reduce the ransom. They have asked for £100, 000 which is N55 million. Since then we have been begging them and I believe they will consider our plea.

The abductors speak good English meaning they are graduates. They were first harsh but later very friendly. It is very unfortunate. I am appealing to the government to wake up to their duty. If things continue like this, only God knows what will happen.'' he said







Sheik Taofeeq said the mother of the twins who waited for 12 years before giving birth to them, has been terribly ill since the incident happened. She did a video few days ago weeping as she appealed to the abductors of her children to release them.


''We have been moving their mother from one hospital to the other since that day while for me, I am just trying to control myself because it is raising my BP. I put my hope in Almighty Allah.'' he said



The cleric said the abductors have also sent him pictures of his children ''looking sad'' .


''They sent their pictures to us and we studied it and saw it was not photoshopped. The children looked sad. One was crying while the second one's eye was swollen. It is an experience I can never pray for my worse enemy. I need my children'' he said



LIB tried reaching out to the state police command spokesperson to ascertain if there is any progress in the search for the twins but he was unavailable to pick our calls.

The World Health Organization has revealed that confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Africa are now in excess of 11,900.


According to the new report by the WHO, Africa's most populous nation, Nigeria, has fewer cases when compared to less populated countries like South Africa, Algeria and Cameroon who continue to top the list of countries with the highest reported cases. While the second-lowest confirmed cases of COVID-19 countries in Africa are Gambia with four cases and one death and Sao Tome with zero deaths from four cases.


The World Health Organisation Regional Office for Africa, revealed the news on its official twitter account @WHOAFRO on Friday.

“COVID19 cases in Africa rise to over 11,900 – with 1,586 recoveries and 608 deaths reported,’’ it said.






New Ebola case logged in DR Congo days before outbreak's expected end

















A new case of Ebola has been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), days before the country's largest-ever outbreak was expected to be declared over.



The World Health Organization (WHO) made the announcement on Friday April 10, and further disclosed that the new case was confirmed in Beni, a town at the heart of the epidemic in eastern DRC. The patient died on Thursday morning in a hospital after showing symptoms several days earlier.



The new case of the deadly disease was confirmed 52 days after the last case was recorded. Until Friday, no new cases had been registered since February 17.



WHO said in a statement;




"Preliminary information shows that he is a 26-year-old man in Beni territory," the multisectoral committee for the response to the epidemic said in a statement.

"Our teams, in collaboration with the WHO, are already on the ground to deepen the investigations and implement public health actions."



The country planned on Monday April 13, to declare an end to the outbreak which emerged in August 2018 and has since killed more than 2,200 people.



WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted;




"After 52 days without a case, surveillance & response teams on the ground have confirmed a new case. We have been preparing for and expecting more cases.

"Unfortunately, this means the government of DRC will not be able to declare an end to the Ebola outbreak on Monday, as hoped. But WHO remains on the ground and committed as ever to working with the government, affected communities and our partners to end the outbreak."



The outbreak has seen the use of experimental Ebola vaccines, a welcome development which has helped in rolling back the disease.

Coronavirus: Power distribution companies in Nigeria affirms two months free electricity supply to Nigerians












The Power Distribution Companies in Nigeria have thrown their weight behind the bill being proposed by the National Assembly for Nigerians to enjoy two months of free electricity to cushion the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic.



Recall that last week, Speaker of the House of Reprsentatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced that a stimulus bill will be passed by the house once they reconvene that would mandate the Power Holding Company of Nigeria to give Nigerians two months of free electricity.



In a statement released on Wednesday April 8, the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors ANED said the modalities for the free power would be worked on as soon as possible and they would notify Nigerians. The statement which was signed by the Associations Executive Director, Sunday Oduntan, reads in part


“The electricity distribution companies recognise the challenging effects of the coronavirus on the economic and daily lives of our customers. In fulfillment of our commitments to the nation, we hereby align ourselves with the efforts of the National Assembly and the Federal Executive to mitigate the hardship that is currently being borne by our customers and other citizens all over the country.

We are committed to working with them to ensure more efficient power supply within this difficult period, as the nation battles with the ravages of COVID-19. We are also completely aligned with the plans to ensure palliative measures, including free electricity supply to all Nigerians for two months, to make life easier, during the lockdown period. Details of implementation to come soon.”



In a related development, the management of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company IBEDC says it would be donating N100m towards the fight against COVID-19 pandemic within its operational area.



The Chief Operating Officer, IBEDC, John Ayodele, disclosed this on Wednesday while donating food items worth N10m to the Oyo State Government as part of measures to combat COVID-19 in the state. While presenting the items, the IBEDC boss also announced that the company has also donated N5m to the University College Hospital Ibadan in support of the institution’s efforts at combating the deadly virus.




“IBEDC, as a law-abiding corporate citizen and socially responsible organisation, has earmarked about N100m for relief items namely rice, noodles and semovita. This gesture encompasses the states we cover namely Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Kwara, and partly Niger, Kogi and Ekiti states.” he said

90 percent of Coronavirus patients recover without intervention - NCDC DG, Ihekweazu Chikwe















Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC),Chikwe Ihekweazu has disclosed that 90 percent of Coronavirus patients recover without intervention.



The NCDC DG disclosed this while commenting on how Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State recovered in less than one week after testing positive for the virus.



Ihekweazu said;




“We should remember that 90 per cent of these patients recover without any intervention. So, if you take something and say you recovered and that something is why you recovered, it doesn’t quite add up. So, hopefully, there will be some treatment emerging over the next few years but remember that people recover from many viruses; that’s the way it happens.

“There are very few viruses with a cure. Even the ones that have a bad outcome like lassa fever – 20 per cent of patients die from it – it still means that 80 per cent of patients will recover without any treatment per se. What happens is that the body is supported to recover on its own. So, you go to a hospital and for COVID-19, you’re given oxygen. Oxygen is not really a treatment; it’s to keep you alive for long enough for you to recover yourself.”



The NCDC DG also appealed to political leaders to refrain from announcing details of COVID-19 cases in their states, and leave such actions to experts.



He added;




“We’re really appealing to our leaders across the country. Please, let the experts do the reporting. Nobody should reveal the identity of a patient, even if it’s the first patient in your state. Please, do not reveal the identity of a patient; the circumstances whether he’s a doctor not. We don’t need all of that. This is a virus. They haven’t committed an offence; they haven’t done anything wrong. We have to show empathy towards all our patients; that’s what we signed up to as healthcare workers,” he said.

"Political leaders announcing details of COVID-19 cases is not ill-intentioned but about them not understanding the ethics and norms of the medical practice and public health”.

Coronavirus: FG to evacuate Nigerians abroad












The federal government has announced that it will be evacuating Nigerians who stay abroad and are willing to return home.



Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) disclosed that the evacuation process was initiated following pleas from Nigerians who are stranded abroad due to the Coronavirus pandemic. She further revealed that they are currently compiling a list of Nigerians who want to return to the country.



The evacuees will be compulsorily quarantined upon their return to the country, and they are also expected to bear the cost of the evacuation process.



A statement released by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the Head of Media and Public Relations Unit at NIDCOM reads in part;




“The interested Nigerians are advised to inform the missions in the various countries they are in, which will then collate and coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“To this end, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa urged Nigerians stranded abroad willing to return home to key into this Federal Government gesture by providing information to the mission in their respective host countries.”

Delta government says video of soldiers threatening to rape and infect women in Warri with HIV is fake












The Delta State Government has reacted to a video of soldiers threatening to rape and infect women in Warri with HIV.



The video was supposedly made by two soldiers who were threatening to carry out the act in retaliation of the attack soldiers suffered, after they killed a youth leader identified as Joseph Pessu for disobeying the lockdown order in the state.



The video was however described as "fake" in a statement released by the Delta State Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu on behalf of the state government. He insisted that some disgruntled elements are bent on pitching the people against the State Government.



Aniagwu who stated that the video misrepresented the Nigerian military, added that the military command whose responsibility it was to deploy personnel had also debunked the video.



He said;




“Let me thank Deltans for their cooperation so far and urge them to discard the concocted videos aimed at causing disaffection between the military and Deltans.

“The concocted video clips were aimed at causing disaffection between Deltans and the security agencies carrying out lawful duties.

“While we appeal to our people to remain law-abiding, it is imperative to state that videos trending on social media are not a true reflection of happenings in the state.

“We, therefore, call on our people to discard the videos and continue to remain indoors as directed by the government to enable us to curb the possible outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.”

Italian shoe designer Sergio Rossi dies from Coronavirus at the age of 84

















Sergio Rossi, one of the most famous Italian shoe designers, has died from coronavirus at the age of 84.



Rossi was admitted to hospital a few days ago in Cesena, a city in Emilia-Romagna, one of the regions hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. He died on Thursday, April 2, in the hospital.



Announcing news of the designer’s death on Friday morning, Riccardo Sciutto, the Chief Executive of the Sergio Rossi Company told the fashion website Women’s Wear Daily: "He was a master, it was a great pleasure to have met him. He was our spiritual guide and he is today more than ever."



Luciana Garbuglia, the Mayor of San Mauro Pascoli, where Rossi was born in 1935 and where he founded his brand, confirmed the death of Rossi and its link to the novel COVID-19 to dpa.



The Sergio Rossi Company was founded in 1951 and gained fame in the 1960s.

Nigerian man diagnosed with Coronavirus in the UK, shares his near-death experience as he recuperates












A Nigerian man, Aghawarianovwe Ikie, who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, in the UK, has taken to Facebook to shares his near-death experience.



In his post, Ikie recounted how he initially thought he had a flu but when the symptoms persisted, he was examined by the health workers and tested positive for COVID-19.



Read his post below




Here I was in my isolation bedroom at home, NOT at the hospital. But here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God, You're altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me...
COVID-19: My Testimony:

I was in the valley of the shadow of death. But I abide in the secret place of the Most High & rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord, you are my Refuge, my Fortress, in you alone I trust.

I have been sick since on or about 12 March 2020. I initially mistook my condition for Flu. It was much later that it dawned on us that I was battling with Coronavirus. I was totalling broken down with 100% loss of appetite, cough, shortness of breath, extreme fever and sudden extreme cold.



My saving grace lied in the fact that I still managed to breathe unaided. So, when the ambulance eventually came to take me to the Covid-19 Hospital facility, I declined because I was worried that I might catch a more deadly strain of the virus in such an environment. Besides, the benefit of ventilator, I didn’t see any chance of hospital staff forcing me to eat as would my wife & children.



They literally forced fed me. The Paramedics carried out ECG Test on me & were happy with the results. They remarked that they were confident that I had Coronavirus & that members of my household unit were already all infected despite not having been formally tested. As at this point, you only get tested upon admission at the hospital. The nights were terrible; I sweated a river. On a particular day, I alerted my cousin, Olorogun Kenneth Okpara, about my predicament. He advised that I should read Psalm 91 in the mornings and in the evenings.



Shortly, thereafter (25 minutes precisely) he sent me a message that as he prayed for me, the Holy Spirit lifted a “dark cloud” from me & my house & replaced it with a white cloud. Some time passed and another brother, Mudiaga Dennis Ofuoku, advised that I should read Psalm 91 three times daily. I just smiled to myself. I can confirm that members of my family unit are fully recovered.



To the glory of God, I am also now almost fully recovered. My appetite is 100% back & the fever is gone. I lost no less than 7 kilograms in the short period. Please I do not want to receive phone calls as I presently require a lot of rest. God has been most merciful to me. I fall within the vulnerable group. I saw death, but prevailed, to His glory. Join me in expressing my gratitude to the Almighty.''

Trump passes second coronavirus test












President Donald Trump has again tested negative for Coronavirus as confirmed on Thursday's White House press briefing on coronavirus developments.



In a memo distributed by press secretary Stephanie Grisham just before the daily White House coronatask force briefing, it was gathered that the US President was tested by White House physician Sean Conley.



The memo read;




"This morning, the President was tested again for Covid-19, utilizing a new rapid point-of-care test capability. He is healthy and without symptoms."



President Trump also confirmed he underwent a second test and got his test result in 15 minutes. He was tested using "a new, rapid point-of-care test capability".



Holding up the memo, the US President said;




"I took the new test, which provides results in 15 minutes really out of curiosity to see how quickly it worked, how fast it worked.

"I did take a test. It just came out, this is from the White House physician. I just took it this morning.

"And I took it, it took me literally a minute to take it and it took me -- I guess it was 14 or 15 minutes (for results). I went to work, I didn't wait for it, but it said it took 14 minutes or something with a conclusion and it said the President tested negative for Covid-19."



Trump also tested negative in mid-March, when multiple White House officials were self-isolating and Trump had been in contact with a number of people who either got coronavirus or were in contact with people who did.



Lack of adequate test kits has bedeviled the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus, making it hard for public health officials and scientists to track the spread of the disease and see where hotspots are popping up. In response, federal health officials approved a coronavirus test last month that can provide results in less than 15 minutes, using the same technology that powers some rapid flu tests.



Thursday's press conference came after more than a million cases of the virus was confirmed worldwide.
