Sports / Re: Omorinsola Babajide Dumps England For Super Falcons by Clevite(m): 11:58am On Oct 10, 2023 |
Omorinsola Babajide and Super Falcons Babajide now switches her allegiance to Nigeria just as Super Falcons star Ashleigh Plumptre did. Babajide is now expected to make her debut for the Super Falcons against Ethiopia. The first leg of the second-round match will be held in Ethiopia's capital city of Addis Abeba on Wednesday, October 25. The second leg between the Super Falcons and Ethiopia will be held in Nigeria on Tuesday, October 31. Nigeria, the nine-time defending champions of Africa, had a bye while Ethiopia defeated Chad in the opening round of the series. At the 32-team FIFA Women's World Cup finals held in Australia and New Zealand in the summer, the Super Falcons came in eighth place. 1 Like 1 Share

Psady:Yes they did! In fact, beyond expectation. If a winner was to be predicted, according to how the game went at regulation time. Super Falcons were the ones. Falcons even had their goal attempts hit the woodwork 3 times in that game alone, second to Spain who had that kind of misses 5 times in a game in this tournament. 1 Like 1 Share |

Politics / Supreme Court Dsmisses Pdp’s Suit Against Tinubu Over Double Nomination by Clevite(m): 10:23am On May 26, 2023 |
The supreme court has dismissed the suit seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima as presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC). A five-member panel of the supreme court held on Friday that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacked the locus standi to institute the suit. The panel said the PDP is not a member of the APC. The PDP had claimed that Shettima’s nomination as Tinubu’s running mate was in breach of the provisions of sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84(1)(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022. The opposition party argued that Shettima’s nomination to contest the position of vice-president and Borno central senatorial seat — at the same time — contravened the law. https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-scourt-dismisses-pdps-suit-against-tinubu-shettima-over-double-nomination/amp

APC has replied Labour Party's Petition over the allegation of conviction over "drug trafficking" against Bola Ahmed Tinubu by a United States District Court. In its reply to the Petitioners Petition filed before the Presidential Election Tribunal, APC asks Labour Party & Peter Obi to consult the past judgement of the Federal High Court on the said allegation in a Suit No: FHC/L/CS/1146/1999. The Respondent tells the Tribunal it shall rely on the past judgement of the Federal High Court on the matter before it. The Respondent further claims that the Tribunal is estopped from retrying Bola Ahmed Tinubu on same issues, having been litigated upon by a competent court of law.

It's not that the case "might last 180 days"; it will surely last for 180 days. As a matter of fact, It will even last for 60 more days at the Supreme Court. So, get ready, because the whole case will last for 8 months and that will be in November when the Supreme Court will finally decide.

Venerable612: You're damn correct! On another platform, I had discussed this issue of not joining Atiku and the fatal effect it may have on Obi's petition. That's even before Obi filed the petition, at the time he was only focused on challenging Tinubu. For Obi to rightful get himself declared 1st from 3rd position, he has two hurdles to cross. That is, he has both Tinubu and Atiku to contend with. He would have to prove that the number of votes secured by Atiku earning him the 2nd place were not validly gotten. And he can't successfully do that without joining Atiku and PDP as interested parties. They have to come and defend themselves and their votes. The Tribunal will never nullify a candidate's votes and 2nd position behind him. The court will not decide against the interest of a necessary party that is not brought before it. That would be a gross violation of the principle of fair hearing. As it is now, Atiku's 2nd position remains unchallenged before the Tribunal. And that may be highly fatal to Obi's case. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

Kris Sanchez is just an individual behind the @UberFacts twitter handle. So he can be paid and influenced to do a hatchet job. He's been found out several times. And just as the writers say in the last paragraph of the article: "Calling something a fact doesn’t make it true." 1 Like |
Politics / The Truth About Uberfacts: They're Often Wrong by Clevite(m): 2:28am On Apr 11, 2023 |
By: Andrew Kaczynski and Ellie Hall BuzzFeednews.com With more than 6 million followers since its inception in 2011 ( more than 13.5 million as at April, 2023), UberFacts is one of the most widely followed accounts on Twitter. On Facebook, UberFacts' page has more than 283,000 likes. It even has its own website. But many of its facts, while delightful, aren't actually factual, something noted by a BuzzFeed reporter in a tweet last December. UberFacts on 20 Dec 2012: "Apple now has more cash on hand than the U.S. government." In this case, this fact was briefly true, during the debt ceiling debate in July of 2011, but UberFacts recycled the tweet numerous times, tweeting it on Feb. 6, 2012, Feb. 12, 2012, March 3, 2012, March 13, 2012, May 8, 2012, and June 19, 2012, as well as tweets in August 2012 and December 2012. The tweets about Apple now read, "for a brief period of time in 2011, Apple had more money than the U.S. government." When UberFacts was pressed over Twitter about the prevalence of false information coming from the account, BuzzFeed received an apparent response from Kris Sanchez, the founder of UberFacts. In December, he emailed to suggest unfollowing the UberFacts Twitter page instead of complaining about the validity of the facts. (Sanchez more recently denied sending the email, and suggested his email was hacked.) Hey Andrew, I'm Kris, and I'm the guy behind the UberFacts page on Twitter. It's been brought to my attention that you don't seem to be such a huge fan of the page! While, I guess that is unfortunate (although millions of other people love it) I wanted to let you know that you always have the option to unfollow the page. That would probably be the most logical thing to do instead of wasting your valuable time complaining about it. I'm pretty sure your thousands of followers on Twitter would like to read something more interesting… I know my MILLIONS of followers do. If you have any other ideas, feel free to tweet me @KrisSanchez. Happy Holidays! Best, Kris Sanchez This week, after more criticism, Sanchez denied the correspondence. He tweeted publicly that the suggestion that he had sent the email is fabricated and "ridiculous." Kris Sanchez @KrisSanchez: "I'm flattered that a writer from a well known website would make up such a ridiculous story. Don't understand it, but still flattered!"- 09 Mar 2014 Kris Sanchez @KrisSanchez: "For the record: I don't and never have sent emails to people who don't like me or my page... Because they don't exist". - 09 Mar 2014 The email came from "kris@uber-facts.com," the email he told BuzzFeed he uses. It's the same email Sanchez listed when he filed to trademark the term "UberFacts" in February 2012. "I never sent you an email," Sanchez told BuzzFeed. "It is my email address but my email has been compromised in the past. So that's not the address that I actively use." When asked if his email had been hacked, Sanchez said he'd been a victim of hacking before. "I've been a victim and a target of that before. That's the only explanation. I'm not suggesting you made it up. I can tell you definitively that I never sent you an email...it happens; it comes with the territory." In a "frequently asked questions" section of his site from March 2013, Sanchez says he sometimes cites sources but rarely ever does it on the UberFacts Twitter page, explaining people don't like to see links in tweets. 2) Do you ever cite your sources? Yes! But not all of them, and rarely ever on the Twitter page. Sources can be found here on the website below articles. As far as tweets go, it's much more time efficient for one to simply use the Google machine to find the answers to whatever questions you may have! Believe it or not, more people would prefer NOT to see a link at the end of the tweet. Sanchez has also said in the past he fact-checks all of his facts before posting them. "Any fact that is submitted that I do consider using is always verified before it's posted," Sanchez said in an interview in April 2012. But Sanchez's errors sometimes draw anger from some of the account's 6 million-plus (currently 13.5 million) followers. A tweet in October about a Florida man who complained about a headache only to realize at the hospital his wife had accidentally shot him used an image from a story about a Chinese woman who had a bullet removed from her brain. When asked about the discrepancy on Twitter, Sanchez tweeted, "the image is not the fact." Sanchez said he doesn't create the images himself, noting that he pulls them from different sites and puts them in a file format he has for tweeting images. "None of those images are created by me," Sanchez said. Sanchez told BuzzFeed that the majority of the facts he finds are culled from a variety of sources as well as a smaller percentage of facts that people submit. He says he fact-checks them all. "I would say 96–97% of the facts you see on the Twitter account are facts I found on science articles, Google alerts, new studies, anything like that," he said. "The other 3–4% are facts which people have submitted, which I will then look up before posting. Anything I post I honestly believe to be true, and when I find out otherwise I remove it as quickly as I can." When asked about some of the tweets that are believed to be incorrect, Sanchez said, "anything that I post up there [I] truly believe to be true. I'm not trying to lie to anyone. When I do find out that things are incorrect. I will either correct them or will remove them." Sanchez says he handles corrections by posting a new fact and tweeting the correction at UberFacts' Twitter account. "I'll tweet the new fact out," Sanchez said, citing a correction from Monday. "There was a photo of the Titanic, the story of the guy who survived the sinking of the America and then died on the Titanic and I had messed up the year. So I retweeted the fact again with the proper year and mentioned the UberFacts account from UberFacts with the correction." Sanchez says he doesn't often cite sources on Twitter because people have complained about links in tweets. He also says he will sometimes link to his website in tweets, citing sources on the website. "Sometimes I'll put, if it's a longer article or if there's more information to be read, I'll put a link to my website in that article," Sanchez said. "It will usually be an excerpt from another major website, and I'll put the source of the article at the bottom of that excerpt. But typically the reason why you won't find links on the Twitter account is because more people have complained about me putting links up there than not putting links up there. Unless it's a fact that sounds just so ridiculous that people need to see a link to it, I usually won't put them up." Yet, for all Sanchez's fact-checking, a survey of the UberFacts Twitter account found numerous examples of "facts" that are demonstrably false: ¶ Polar bears live in the Arctic (the North Pole) while penguins live in Antarctica (the South Pole). There has never been a recorded interaction between the two species. UberFacts @UberFacts: "Polar bears can eat as many as 86 penguins in one sitting." - 09 Dec 2012 ¶ NASA says that this false statistic is a myth based on "wrong and misinterpreted" data: UberFacts@UberFacts: "The sun shrinks by about 5 feet every second." - 14 Oct 2013 ¶ The images tweeted by the account are concept images of a bridge that was never built. UberFacts@UberFacts: There is a bridge in Paris made entirely of trampolines! - 19 Dec 2013 ¶ Sharks have a low incidence of disease but they do fall victim to infections. They also get cancer — scientists have known this for more than 100 years. UberFacts@UberFacts: "Sharks are immune to all known diseases." - 02 Oct 2013 ¶ According to the National Sleep Foundation, toddlers need 12–14 hours of sleep, while teens need 8.5–9.5 hours. UberFacts@UberFacts: "Teenagers require the same amount of sleep as young toddlers." - 15 Oct 2013 Calling something a fact doesn’t make it true. — Andrew Kaczynski is a political reporter for BuzzFeed News and is based in New York. — Ellie Hall is a senior reporter for BuzzFeed News and is based in Washington, DC.
