Sports / Liverpool Fans Push Barcelona Locals Into Fountain (video) by kikio1992(m): 11:50am On May 01, 2019
Liverpool fans were earlier today filmed pushing Barcelona local into fountain as six supporters arrested over hotel assault.

Trouble brewed in the city ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg. At least two videos surfaced on social media showing supporters shoving people into a fountain in the middle of the popular Placa Reial square.

Liverpool fans were also accused of throwing objects at authorities, which led to around 3,000 cans of beers being confiscated from sellers, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.

Liverpool CEO Peter Moore pleaded with Liverpool fans to behave. He tweeted:

‘We proudly sing that we’ve conquered all of Europe. But let’s treat this beautiful city with the respect that it deserves, and act in a manner that is befitting of LFC. ‘By all means have a good time, but we are Liverpool, and as such, let’s visit here with grace and humility.’

Politics / Lagos Assembly: Last PDP Member Defects To APC by kikio1992(m): 8:25pm On Apr 29, 2019
The last PDP member in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Dipo Olorunrinu (Amuwo-Odofin Constituency I), has defected to the APC.

The letter to this effect was read at the plenary by the Clerk of the House, Mr. Azeez Sanni.

In the letter which was titled, “Letter of defection from PDP to APC,” the lawmaker apologized for his late defection, saying;

“I sincerely apologize that the defection is coming now. I ask for mercy.”

Olorunrinu lost his re-election bid to APC candidate, Mrs. Mojisola Alli-Macaulay, in the March 9 House of Assembly election with 278 votes.

He vowed not to challenge the result at the election tribunal.

In his comments on the floor, Olorunrinu who requested for a handshake from the Speaker as it was done in the past, said;

“Once upon a time, we had eight of us from PDP in 2015, I said to myself i must join the progressives.”

He described PDP as a party that lacks structure and vision.

The Speaker welcomed Olorunrinu to APC and commended him for his decision, while other APC lawmakers also received him into the party. Obasa said;

“I thank you for making the decision at last. We welcome you into our midst as a member of APC in the House of Assembly.

“You have always been part of us, save the fact that you refused to dump the leaking umbrella. But today, you have decided. I welcome you on behalf of our party.

“I want to thank you for lending your voice to what have been our position from quite sometime that the best party in Nigeria today is APC.

“So, there is nothing to gain from PDP. For realising this, I congratulate you.

“Distinguished colleagues, we are now 40 members of APC. Thank you for joining us.”

Sports / Neymar Punches A Fan After Coupe De France Loss (video) by kikio1992(m): 9:02am On Apr 28, 2019
PSG star Neymar may find himself in trouble after punching a fan following his club’s Coupe de France final defeat on Saturday.

Paris Saint-Germain lost in his return to the field from injury on Saturday, falling to Rennes in the final of the Coupe de France, 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 finish. It was a stunning match.

The Paris club was comfortably ahead within 35 minutes when Brazilian duo Dani Alves and Neymar had scored to put them 2-0 up. However, Presnel Kimpembe’s own goal followed by Mexer’s header either side of half time took the tie to extra time. Rennes went on to win on penalties.

During the medal ceremony after the match, Neymar got into it with what appeared to be a spectator. Other players on PSG looked at this guy as if he had said something that bothered them, and Neymar looked to grab his phone before the man tried to stand up. Then it appears as if Neymar strikes him on the chin with a quick jab.

Politics / Chris Ngige: Embrace Carpentry, Plumbing - Minister Tells Nigerians by kikio1992(m): 1:59pm On Apr 24, 2019
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has advised Nigerians to carpentry, plumbing, and not focus only on white collar jobs.

Ngige believes Nigeria’s high unemployment rate can be greatly reduced if more Nigerians embrace blue collar jobs that are largely neglected.

He made this known during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, April 24, 2019.

The Minister noted that the Federal Government has an established vocational skills policy, but that Nigerians think blue collar jobs are beneath their status. He said;

"It (unemployment) was an issue and that was why we did an advocacy and told people not to look at only the white collar jobs. There are blue collar jobs. Skills. You have to train your hands. You have to do plumbing, carpentry, tailoring.

“We had to do the vocational skills policy. The NDE (National Directorate of Employment), one of my parastatals, has at least three or four vocational skills programmes.

“We have our specialist skills centres in Lagos, Ibadan, Kaduna, Bauchi, Calabar, Warri, Enugu, and all over the federation.

“We now have many in collaboration with the state governments. We send them people to train them. And people come in there as apprentice and after we finish with them, we empower them.

“But the problem is that, how many people are ready to come there and train?

“They regard those jobs as jobs that don’t befit people’s status, but it’s not true. We’re counselling people that going to do these jobs doesn’t make you an inferior person.

“But here, everybody wants a (white) collar job. They want to stay in air-conditioned office. They want to work in the bank or oil companies and nothing less than that.”

It was also reported that Adele and Simon – who began their romance in 2011 and are said to be amicably separating- started drifting apart due to his travel with work and her discovery of a new social circle in LA and NYC.

Sports / Monte Carlo Shocker: Rafael Nadal Beaten By Fabio Fognini by kikio1992(m): 7:45pm On Apr 20, 2019
Fabio Fognini ended Rafael Nadal’s long winning streak at the Monte Carlo Masters, stunning the defending champion to reach the final for the first time.

The 13th-seeded Italian, Fabio Fognini, had beaten Nadal twice before on clay, and also once at the U.S. Open in five sets, but this was arguably the most impressive.

Rafael Nadal after the game admitted his 6-4, 6-2 loss was his “worst clay court match in 14 years”. The shock result leaves Italian 13th seed Fognini facing unseeded Serb Dusan Lajovic in Sunday’s unscripted final. Nadal said;

“I played one of my worst matches on clay in 14 years, it’s difficult to find any positives – I deserved to lose.”

“The vision is clear,” added 32-year-old Nadal who was playing his first tournament in a month after opting to rest his troublesome knees.

“I played a very bad match against a good player. In that situation, you have to lose.

“I had a bad feeling, it was a tough day. I’m coming from low moments in terms of injuries, and in terms of the mental side it has not been easy to accept all the things that have been going on during recent weeks.

“Everything was wrong. I always expect the best. But you have to be ready to accept the negative things and today was a negative day.”

Taking to social media to clear the air, Simi shared an image on Twitter which read;

Guys I had to bring down my post cos I used the line “abi o ro bi mo kola ni” (Do you think I have tribal marks?) – which people mean to say “Am I stupid”.
It’s an old Yoruba ‘joke’, but I never acknowledged how insensitive it is. It offended some and I shouldn’t have used it. Lots of unlearning to do. We should remember to be sensitive and emphatic to others,
Also I know the video is all over the place already, but it’s a step in the right direction and I apologize to anyone that was/is offended by it. I only ever mean
well
Also, if you think this is extra, it’s part of the problem. Always letting BS go is how we build the wrong cultures that become hard to shake off.

Celebrities / Kcee Reveals Why He Almost Quit Music by kikio1992(m): 4:13am On Mar 30, 2019
Popular Nigerian singer, Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, better known as Kcee has revealed that he almost quit music at some point in his career.

Earlier this week, Waje revealed that she is set to quit music, as she wasn’t getting paid well.

While speaking with punchng.com, Saturday Beats, Kcee also revealed that he was once in a similar situation. He said;

“I saw Waje’s video and I was touched. I was supposed to say something about it but I was busy with my album project. However, I spoke to a few people about it. The truth is that the industry is a fake one; I am not just talking about the Nigerian music industry, but globally. Everybody is struggling. I have been in this business for 19 years and at every point in time, you have A-list artistes and they are about ten.

“These set of people are the ones making all the money. There are hundreds of artistes behind them struggling to get to make it to the top ten list. These other artistes keep spending the same amount of money (the A-list artistes spend) to just get there and they also have to live like a celebrity. This costs a lot of money. If you do not have the drive and focus to keep the fire burning, it is going to weigh you down.

“When I was with Presh, I was also discouraged and I went into business because I was frustrated. I started importing furniture and I had a showroom at Allen Avenue, Ikeja. It got to a point when I had to tell myself that I love music and I needed to go back. I promised myself that I would make sure I get it right the second time. At that point, I had hit songs already and I made a lot of money from the industry but everything was finished because new people would always come into the industry.

“That was what gave birth to the Limpopo era. It was determination; it was me being focused plus I had the grace of God. The message here is, what Waje said is not happening to her alone but to a lot of artistes. She was able to speak out. You need to listen to other people. Her situation might be better than a lot of them. The average video I shoot costs about N4m. I can travel anywhere to shoot my video; I do not want to talk about the cost of hotel and other logistics. I have been able to promote some artistes under my label and I know how much I invested in them. I know how much I shot their videos. That is why sometimes I look at the up-and-coming artistes and tell them to appreciate their labels. It takes a lot.

“The talent is five per cent, you need 95 per cent to polish your talent and put it out there. People bring in their money and invest in some of these talents but when they enjoy the limelight, they get to see themselves as God and they begin to insult those that invested their money in them. Those set of artistes have discouraged a lot of labels from investing in other artistes; if not, someone like Waje would not be crying because she is a ‘sure market’ and any label can invest (in her). Some of those artistes have discouraged a lot of labels like us so we do not feel safe to invest in them.

“When you invest in 80 per cent of them, once they enjoy the limelight a little, they begin to feel you are using them or taking their money. They do not know how much you paid to promote the music or shoot their videos. There is a lot involved. My message is that always be in control, you can get out of any situation as long as you are alive and have the talent. You just have to believe. It has happened to me several times. I do not care what anyone says about me. If I care about what people said, I would have quit music since. I have a lot of things I can do and I would never be hungry but I love music and I have been relevant for 19 years.”

Crime / Lady Narrates How Woman Robbed Her Warehouse by kikio1992(m): 1:44pm On Mar 22, 2019
A lady has taken to social media to narrate how her warehouse was robbed by a well dressed woman in a Rav4.

Business manager, @dripzdiva, took to her Twitter page to narrate how the robber came into her warehouse with her son and another guy.

According to her narration, the woman used her son as a distraction, as they carried out the theft. Read full story below;

Someone just robbed me at my warehouse. A woman. A freaking woman!!!! Well dressed in a Rav4. Came in with her son and another guy and made her orders for cartons of indomie. Her son ran in and in a bid to hold her son back and attending to her at the same time, I guess that was when the other guy reached for my bag.

Of course she knowing what had happened told me that she wants to go drive her car in and she zoomed off. I checked my bag and the zipper was open, money gone!!!!

My Joy is that I didn’t have so much on me because I try as much as possible to limit the cash at hand. She made away with the one she saw.

Well, don’t say I’m too harsh but that money is the death of her. Why will a woman use her own child to steal

I mean, if you see her, you will never guess she will do such. Very beautiful woman.

But well, I’ve learnt. Experiences are there to teach us.

Crime / New Zealand Massacre: PM Bans Semi-automatic Guns by kikio1992(m): 5:56am On Mar 21, 2019
New Zealand Prime minister Jacinda Ardern, has announced the ban on semi-automatic guns, just six days after a terror attack in Christchurch.

The move comes less than a week after a white supremacist rampaged through two mosques, shooting at people as they prayed, sparking global revulsion and national outrage.

The PM announced military style weapons, like the ones used in Friday's attack that left 50 people dead, will no longer be allowed in the country.

Semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles, high capacity magazines, and parts that can convert guns into military style weapons are included in the ban. Mrs Ardern said:

"On March 15 our history changed forever. Now, our laws will too. We are announcing action today on behalf of all New Zealanders to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place.

"Cabinet agreed to overhaul the law when it met on Monday, 72 hours after the horrific terrorism act in Christchurch.

"Now, six days after this attack, we are announcing a ban on all military style semi-automatics (MSSA) and assault rifles in New Zealand.

"Related parts used to convert these guns into MSSAs are also being banned, along with all high-capacity magazines.

"To owners who have legitimate uses for their guns, I want to reiterate that the actions being announced today are not because of you, and are not directed at you. Our actions, on behalf of all New Zealanders, are directed at making sure this never happens again."
