A lot has definitely changed about one of Africa’s finest pop groups, P-Square, made up of twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye Ever since the crisis in the family, during which the brothers were at loggerheads and threatened they would be going their separate ways, things haven’t been the same again. For one, the brothers seem to have stopped making music together. The last work they have together is their ‘Double Trouble’ album which was released in 2014. With the two-year gap that is usually between their album releases, P-Square is expected to release an album this year, but there are no indications that they have ‘hit’ the studio yet. In the past, the brothers (especially Peter) used to upload pictures on their social media pages to show fans that they are working in the studio. But nothing of the sort has happened this year.

[b]No, Germany Did Not Issue A Death Sentence For Fossil-Fuel Cars German Chancellor Angela Merkel ride an electric vehicle at the FAW-Volkswagen plant in Chengdu, China Electrek is one of the better green websites, and it only occasionally makes mistakes. Yesterday, it made a big mistake that could cost investors a lot of money. “All new cars mandated to be electric in Germany by 2030,” the website headlined yesterday, announcing that “Germany is about to become the first major country to set an official deadline for a ban on gas-powered cars.” Should you have bought or sold shares on that news, quickly cancel the order. The newsflash is flat out wrong. It is pure fantasy that, as Electrek writes, “a senior government official in Germanyconfirmed they will impose a mandate for all new cars registered in the country to be emissions free by 2030. The mandate will be part of Germany’s pledge to cut carbon dioxide output by 80% to 95% by 2050.” Let’s retrace the baloney’s gestation. Electrek apparently has the alleged news from Toronto’s Globe and Mail, which used aBloomberg piece, albeit with a catchier headline: “All cars in Germany must be emissions free by 2030, official says.” Also not true. The paper was led astray by Bloomberg, which somewhat correctly, but apparently confusingly wrote that “all new cars registered in Germany need to be emissions free by 2030 at the latest to help meet pollution reduction goals, a senior government official said.” So what did really happen? The official is Rainer Baake. He is not Germany’s “Deputy Economy Minister,” as Bloomberg erroneously writes, he is a public servant, State Secretary of Germany’s Ministry of Economy and Energy. In Germany, that ministry has no jurisdiction over cars. In Germany, Baake’s nickname is “Mister Energiewende,” the man in charge of the country’s energy pivot away from fossil FOSL +0.28% fuel and nuclear towards alternative, renewable energy such as solar, or wind. Baake is a reputable and feared environmental technocrat. For six years, he served as head of the environmental pressure group Deutsche Umwelthilfe, the same group that is Enemy Number One of Europe’s auto industry which reels under DUH’s relentless dieselgate attacks. Rainer Baake also is a member of the Green Party. At a Berlin investment confab, organized by the Tagesspiegel newspaper, Baake was a speaker. Germany’s target is to lower CO2 emissions by 95% by 2050. At the meeting, Baake raised doubts that the target will be met. “There’s been no reduction at all in CO2 emissions by transport since 1990,” Baake noted, saying that since cars typically have a 20-year lifespan, registrations of new diesel and gasoline cars would have to be cut over the next 15 years to get anywhere near the 2050 target. Baake voiced a personal opinion, that’s all. In reality, to get anywhere near the 2050 CO2 reduction goals, Germany’s plans to have 6 million EVs on its roads by 2030. That would be 10% of the currently 61.5 million vehicles, and it is a tall order. Despite a new EUR 4.000 incentive, Germany’s Environment Ministry projects that EV sales will only reach 500.000 electric cars by 2020. According to the EV-Sales scorekeeper, Germans bought only 1,622 EVs last April, READ MORE>[/b] http://baress.com/2016/06/17/did-germany-issue-a-death-sentence-for-fossil-fuel-cars/

No, Germany Did Not Issue A Death Sentence For Fossil-Fuel Cars |
[b]Recently at an event in Germany, officials from Mercedes-Benz announced plans to introduce the GLC F-Cell in 2017. This is a version of the compact GLC SUV with a fuel-cell, plug-in hybrid drivetrain. As so often happens, this got my mind working along multiple tangents and connecting dots with Apple AAPL +0.42% and Ford that may or may not deserve to be connected. Please join my thought process. The GLC F-Cell propulsion system is all electric, but doesn’t derive its electrons entirely from the grid. The electric motor at the rear axle gets current from a combination of a 9-kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery and a hydrogen fuel cell. This certainly isn’t the first vehicle we’ve seen with this sort of architecture but it may well be the first to get to production. The most recent example appeared in November 2014 in the form of theAudi A7 h-tron. Audi A7 h-tron concept The A7’s battery had an 8.8-kWh capacity and two motors, one at each axle but in principle the concept was the same. However, Audi also wasn’t the first. To the best of my knowledge, Ford actually deserves credit or at least they are the first that I’m aware of. Back in January 2007, on the same day that General Motors GM +0.55% unveiled the original Chevrolet Volt concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Ford showed a concept van called the Airstream. The polished aluminum-bodied Airstream was at least on paper powered by a plug-in hybrid fuel cell powertrain dubbed HySeries Drive. Like most concept vehicles including the Volt that was across the floor in Cobo Hall, the actual hardware in the vehicle bore no resemblance to the specs on the press release. However, very much unlike the Chevrolet concept with its golf-cart motor, Ford actually had running prototypes with HySeries drive SEE MORE>[/b] http://baress.com/2016/06/17/with-mercedes-planning-a-fuel-cell-plug-in-hybrid-heres-why-apple-could-go-down-same-path/

[color=#550000]Wizkid and Tania Omotayo had several fans who were rooting for their relationship when they where together.

[b]Whether for professional or personal reasons, people sometimes pick up and move. In the United States, folks have been migrating to urban areas in recent generations, but these days the places they wind up are not necessarily the major hubs we might expect. Recently, real estate information platform, Realtor.com, completed a study on where people are moving to—and where they are moving away from. The results are not surprising to anyone who has paid attention to where jobs and new companies are being generated. We took Realtor.com’s results and built a gallery of the 10 Cities Americans Are Moving Right Now. Check it out below. The number one city people are moving to, Realtor.com found, is Tampa. Florida itself is home to three of the cities on the top-10 list and it’s popular for migrating Americans because the state has no income tax, it has yet to fully bounce back from the housing crash of 2008-2009 so home prices are still relatively low, and there is strong job creation there. Florida is also experiencing a decline in foreign buyers. According to Realtor.com, that means that there are more homes on the market which makes prices slower to rise and there is more product for incoming residents. Another land where job creation is drawing new people in is Texas. New companies, tech development and jobs put San Antonio and Austin on the list.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has disclosed that the Federal Government was quietly working towards bringing an end to the persistent Fulani herdsmen/farmers crises across the country. Mohammed made the disclosure on Sunday during a special prayer for the stability of the nation by an Islamic group, Saadatul Abadiyyah Organisation of Nigeria in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital. According to Mohammed, President Muhammadu Buhari had also constituted a panel of inquiry to look into the recent alleged Fulani attacks, adding that Nigerians would soon feel the effects of the silent efforts being made by the government. Mohammed said, “the President did speak immediately these things happened, to the extent of setting up a panel of enquiry. But the government is going to do more than that. “These communal clashes are very delicate issues, very emotional and what the government is doing is working very silently to ensure that people who used to live together before without any conflict will go back to that. In few weeks from now, we will begin to see the result of that.” Recall that there has been persistent clashes between suspected Fulani herdsmen and farmers across the country with States like Benue, Plateau, and Taraba as the worst hit.

[b]The arrest of the fraudsters has been a welcome development for Wizzy who said the act had put a dent on his personality in certain quarters. About two weeks ago,Ifeoma Nelly,a 200-level Industrial Chemistry student of Delta state university and her cohorts were arrested for allegedly impersonating Nigerian pop star, Wizkid. The arrest of the fraudsters has been a welcome development for Wizzy who said the act had put a dent on his personality in certain quarters. ‘I am very thankful to the Nigeria police for what they did for me. The case has been going on for a while now, I thank God we have been able to arrest one of the suspects. We would pursue this case to the court and ensure we get justice,’the singer said in a recent chat withGuardian. ‘The actions of these fraudsters have affected my business worldwide. I still have two cases pending in New York, United States now. There was a particular case of a $45,000 that was collected from a promoter in USA by these fraudsters using my name. There is another case of $25,000.’ Wizkid maintained he wants justice for the culprits, and is thankful he is being exonerated from allegations of fraud by show organisers. ‘I am happy my name is being cleared and I want justice. ‘The situation has affected me psychologically because I was being accused of taking money I knew nothing about. The press also did not believe me so that dampened my mor*le,’he said further SEE MORE @[/b] http://baress.com/2016/06/15/i-am-happy-my-name-is-being-cleared-i-want-justice-wizkid/

The term “hot hatch” was first tossed around in the mid-1970s when a handful of European automakers began to offer performance-oriented versions of their small economical hatchback cars. Eager to spread the enjoyment overseas, Volkswagen offered Americans their first taste of a fun-to-drive hot hatch in the summer of 1976 with the arrival of the Volkswagen GTI ― a boxy first-generation (Mk1) Golf fitted with a manual gearbox, front-wheel drive, and a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. With just over 100 horsepower on tap, the vehicle was capable of hitting 60 mph in just under 10 seconds and delivering a top speed of 113 mph. Although any late-model minivan will run circles around the GTI of that bygone era, those were solid performance numbers during the 1970s energy crisis. Thankfully, three decades later, the bar has risen much higher. Shoved into my front pocket are the keys to a brand-new 2016 Volkswagen Golf R, the spiritual successor to the original GTI. Today’s seventh-generation (Mk7) Golf boasts a dual-clutch gearbox, all-wheel drive, and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 296 horsepower. It will claw itself to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and with its electronic limiter disabled, rocket to a blistering top speed of 168 mph.See more>http://baress.com/2016/05/28/2016-volkswagen-golf-r-a-168-mph-blistering-hot-german-hatchback/

The largest and most complex recall campaign in the history of the U.S. auto industry is only just beginning, with eight carmakers on Friday recalling 12 millionvehicles equipped with potentially dangerous airbags. The affected vehicles represent just a fraction of the number of cars that will need to have their driver and front-passenger airbags repaired. As many as 69 million of the safety devices, manufactured by Japan’s Takata Corp., are being recalled because the airbag inflator can explode with too much force and spray metal shrapnel at passengers. So far, at least 13 deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide have been linked to the defect. On May 4, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dramatically expanded its recall of Takata-made inflators, adding as many as 40 million airbags to the 29 million that had already been recalled. The safety campaign is so massive that NHTSA had to prescribe a multi-year, multi-phased approach to try to get them all repaired by 2019.See more >http://baress.com/2016/05/27/a-bigger-scarier-number-than-todays-recall-of-12m-vehicles-with-takata-airbags/

2017 Audi A4: A Complete Redesign To Trump Its Rivals BaressMay 27, 2016Autos Updates, Latest News0 Photo courtesy of Audi “Wow, this thing is really nice — it is significantly more upscale than my old car.” My wife’s observation, minutes after climbing into the cabin of the all-new 2017 Audi A4, carries substantial weight as she spent three years behind the wheel of the previous-generation A4, which was her daily driver. Convincing a former owner that their vehicle’s successor is leaps and bounds better than its immediate predecessor is an arduous challenge, yet Audi appears to have accomplished just that. Launched in 1995 as a replacement for the aging Audi 80, the A4 is a German compactluxury sedan that slots below the automaker’s mid-size A6 sedan and above the compact A3 sedan, which both share many of the A4’s styling cues — the family resemblance is unmistakable. Within its segment, the A4 competes directly against the Acura TLX, BMW 3 Series,Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Lexus IS — according to Kelley Blue Book, those five sold a total of 349,212 units in 2015. Without question, it is a popular and arguably one of the most competitive arenas in the automotive sector as each challenger is raising the bar with technical innovation and luxury features that were once only reserved for premium flagship models.
