Properties / Bill Gates Becomes First To Buy A £500m Hydrogen-powered Super Yacht (photos) by Maniagist: 11:33am On Feb 09, 2020
Microsoft co-founder commissions eco vessel expected to go to sea in 2024 in latest sign of his interest in alternative fuels

The software tycoon Bill Gates has commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht, in a £500m signal of his belief that investment in new clean technology is the best way to cut carbon emissions.

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that the retired 64-year-old is behind the construction of a cutting-edge vessel by the Dutch superyacht specialist Feadship.

The custom build is based on blueprints for the 112-metre design "Aqua" publicised last year at the Monaco Yacht Show by the Dutch marine architects Sinot to draw environmentally sensitive billionaires. It said the plans took “inspiration from the lifestyle of a discerning, forward-looking owner

Mr Gates, who co-founded Microsoft and is currently ranked as the world’s second-richest man, is a regular superyacht holidaymaker but has not previously owned his own vessel and has preferred to rent during summer trips around the Mediterranean.

His new vessel, which is scheduled to go to sea in 2024, will not measure up to some of the world’s largest pleasure cruisers, such as the 163-metre Eclipse commissioned by Roman Abramovich, the oligarch and owner of Chelsea football club.

Mr Gates will however gain bragging rights over other ultra-rich seafarers as the owner of the world’s only hydrogen-powered superyacht, which industry sources estimate will cost about half a billion pounds.

The designs for Aqua include two 28-ton vacuum-sealed tanks to store liquid hydrogen at minus 252 Celsius. The fuel will be used to generate power for the two one-megawatt motors and the passengers via fuel cells, which combine hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce only electricity and water.

Sinot claims the system offers a top speed of 17 knots, cruising speed of 10 to 12 knots and range of 3750 nautical miles, more than enough to cover an Atlantic crossing from New York to Southampton.

The acquisition is the latest sign of Mr Gates's longstanding interest in alternative fuels. He is an investor in Heliogen, a California start-up that uses smart software to control an array of mirrors that focuses the sun’s rays to generate extreme heat. It aims to create a clean source of hydrogen gas by splitting water molecules without the use of fossil fuels.

Most hydrogen is currently produced by processes that rely on fossil fuels and produce carbon dioxide. It is possible, although much more expensive, to use electricity from renewable sources to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Mr Gates, who has pledged to give most of his estimated $118bn fortune to good causes via the Gates Foundation, has argued that investment in new energy systems is a better way to cut carbon emissions than forcing investors to pull out of oil companies when the economy must still rely on fossil fuels to some extent.

Last year he said: “By investing in energy innovations, we can build on the progress we’ve made deploying current technology like renewables, which will help accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to a future of reliable and affordable carbon-free electricity.

We need big breakthroughs in technologies that will allow us to supply the power grid with clean energy even during windless days, cloudy weather, and nighttime.

Bill Gates has a longstanding interest in alternative fuels

Despite Mr Gates’ enthusiasm for hydrogen power, shipbuilding sources said that the plans for his superyacht include diesel back-up due to the scarcity of hydrogen refuelling stations. It is understood the project includes plans to establish facilities at the superyacht’s home port, however.

Mr Gates’s plans for the vessel’s accommodation are unclear, but in the marketing materials for Aqua the designers suggest an armoured glass window to view the liquid hydrogen tanks and a gym with "massive, gym-wide hatch which opens to reveal the ocean’s surface at water level, creating the perception of exercising and relaxing on an island in the sea"

The concept also includes a “spectacular, extremely spacious” owner’s pavilion, occupying the front half of the upper deck and offering “an abundance of privacy”. Meanwhile “the VIP cabin and other state rooms are focused on openness, luxury and comfort, providing a maximum sense of freedom in a highly detailed minimalist Japanese beach-style setting”, according to Sinot.

Celebrities / Danny Young Blame Fans Over Artistes For The Production Of Crap Music by Maniagist: 10:26am On Feb 08, 2020
Nigerian Afropop singer, Danny Young, born Ajibola Olumuyiwa Danladi, who made news recently for copyright lawsuit against former Mavin First Lady, Tiwa Savage has debunked the widely held notion that artistes are to be blamed for the upsurge in crap music in the Nigerian music space. While speaking with Star Tracker in an interview he stated reasons artistes cannot really be blamed.

Hear him: “It’s like a disease that has eaten deep into the present generation of music fans. They don’t want to listen to anything reasonable or educative.

If you make sensitive music, you better be ready to double up on the promotion or listen to it alone with your family. But the music with no direction but with danceable beat is all they love.

All artistes are striving for hits and that is the reason everyone makes the same type of sound. Yes, it is not the artistes promoting crap music but the fans because that’s what they want.

Danny Young, born Ajibola Olumuyiwa Danladi, who is also a songwriter, music producer, record label owner, entrepreneur and brand ambassador from Owo local government area of Ondo State singled out the ‘African Giant,’ Burna Boy and refusing to mention others, but admitted there are many others who make good music.

The ones I know that have been doing so much of the right music are not A-list. That is not to say that some of the A-list artistes are not trying, for example, Burna Boy and a few others are doing the right music. My brand of music or genre is Afropop. A good music is when you have the right sound, melody, hook and meaningful lyrics to go with it,” he added.

Danny young came to prominence into prominence in 2006 after releasing his first hit song “Welcome” featuring Lord of Ajasa, off his debut album “The One,” released under the platform of BigDeal Entertainment in 2009.

After the debut album Danny Young continued to raise the ante by producing more good songs which were raves of the moment at the time. Each of his songs and collaborations were top draw and enjoyed rave reviews.

I did a collaboration with Klever Jay in the hit song “Koni Koni Love”, one of the biggest Afropop evergreen songs till date. I have consistently fed my fans with genius hits upon hits, fact proven through my strings of songs produced; like the “Oju Tiwon” in 2009 and one of the biggest songs off my second album “Cross Over” which was released off a collaborative project with Fliptyce Entertainment.

Oju Tiwon is an evergreen song which a lot of Nigerian biggest artistes have sampled in different forms and still happening even after a decade of its release.

In 2011 I featured on Star Quest reality TV show as a music producer, producing and grooming one of the contesting bands. In 2013, I teamed up with Olamide to record the “Omo Lepa” hit single.

It became one of the most requested party songs on radio and TV and also one of the dopest collaborations at the time,” he said, chronicling his journey in the music space.

Controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh, has cautioned the young people following the negative influence of social media, claiming that life is not as easy and rosy as they perceived it to be on social media.

Tontolet, as she likes to be called, posted this on her Instagram page. “A lot of you come on social media to see people who are having a great time with exotic trips and vacation, and you slip into depression, what you don’t know is that many people plan and save towards their trips.

Some people plan a year before or even two years. A beautiful photo that shows a vacation might be a result of saving for many years. Don’t be deceived into thinking it’s that easy. It is not. Even the flashy cars and houses and phones you see with rich people, they plan and save towards it.

They won’t tell you, all you know is that they just got a house. Go and ask them how long it took to save up, and the sacrifices they made to gather up the finances, See, it’s never really too rosy for people as it seems on social media. Just keep working hard. Save for important things. Save to spoil yourself.

Tonto Dikeh, was once married to Churchill Olakunle, and they have a son from their marriage, which was short-lived.

Crime / Obinna Echianu Sentenced By Hanging For Killing Uber Driver (photos) by Maniagist: 9:36am On Feb 07, 2020
The High Court of the Federal High Court in Nyanya, Abuja on Thursday sentenced one Obinna Echianu to death for killing an Uber driver identified as Edwin Ali in Abuja on December 26, 2016.

Delivering judgment, Justice Peter Kekemeke convicted 42-year-old Echianu for armed robbery and culpable homicide.

But the judge discharged and acquitted Echanu’s co-accused, Everly Nnorom, 27, for lack of evidence.

The police had instituted five counts of conspiracy, armed robbery, unlawful possession of firearms and culpable homicide against the two men.

However, convicting Echianu of the offences on Thursday, the judge held that the police proved counts of armed robbery and culpable homicide against him beyond reasonable doubt against him.

The first defendant is therefore sentenced to death by hanging on each of the counts,” Justice Kekemeke held.

The police had alleged that Echianu and Nnorom, who was acquitted on Thursday, conspired to rob the deceased Edward Ali beside Goza pedestrian bridge, Airport Road, Abuja, at about 7pm on December 16, 2016.

The prosecution alleged that the two men allegedly armed with a revolver pistol and 33 live ammunition shot and killed Ali.

But while the court believed Nnorom’s defence ending in his acquittal, it dismissed Echianu’s defence and was convicted and sentenced to death on Thursday.

Sports / Odion Ighalo To Earn N1.4bn In Six Months At Old Trafford by Maniagist: 9:20am On Feb 07, 2020
Odion Ighalo will reportedly earn the sum of N1.4bn (£2.98m) during his six months loan spell at Manchester United, Sports Extra can reveal.

As of Thursday, the exchange rate from naira to a British pound sterling was put at N469.41.

Ighalo joined United on loan until the end of the season in a surprise move as a cover upfront for Marcus Rashford, who is facing an extended spell out after suffering a double stress fracture in his back.

The former Nigeria international, who took a pay cut in order to complete his dream deadline day move from Shanghai Shenhua to Manchester United, earns a whopping N60m (£130,000) per week. He earned £300,000 per-week at Shanghai Shenhua.

In a month, the 30-year-old will receive N244m (£520,000) and in his six months at Old Trafford, the former Watford striker will collect N1.4bn (£2.98m) as salary.

Ighalo is currently undergoing a personal fitness programme this week, in a bid to get up to speed, having arrived into Manchester from China last Sunday.

The 30-year-old forward, who will wear the No.25 shirt, is confident he can boost United’s attack, which has struggled without Rashford, who he regards as one of the best in Europe at the moment.

They (Manchester United) have a striker that stays mostly in the middle, because (Anthony) Martial likes to come from the side, even Rashford and all that,” Ighalo said in an interview with Sky Sports.

So, you need someone in the middle that can keep the ball, hold the ball, because I’ve watched so many United games.

“So, they need a physicality there up front to keep the ball, to give and to make some movement, which I believe, if everything goes well, I can add to the team.”

Romance / The Connecting Bond Between Us by Maniagist: 12:32pm On Feb 01, 2020
So it turns out that my twin brother has been alive all these years, I got to find out few months ago.

The doctor who delivered us and his wife have been acting as his parents.

I’ve always imagined it all my life, if we were gon be close or not. And to think I’ll never have that answer is so disturbing but I’ll be fine.

They got married 5 years before we were born and had no child of their own.

On the day we were giving birth to my brother couldn’t breathe well and died, that was what they told my parents but it turns out that he survived and the doctor kept it a secret with the two nurses involved during our delivery.

Few months ago I was out and I saw a guy who kinda look like me,I couldn’t resist than to just move close and talk to him, while talking to him I noticed he had a birth mark just like mine and that made me more curious.

I got friendly and made sure we exchanged contacts. We started talking and I asked a lot of questions, I was sure not to make him curious.

I asked for his date of birth, it was the same as mine, the hospital he was born was also the same hospital.

He told me that after his birth was when his parents left the country and they just came back March 2018 because he has been disturbing them he wanted to know where he’s from. I thought of it and I was like maybe God knew it was time for us to meet.

I told my parents about it but they didn’t believe me, my mom was so sure that he died on that day cos she held him, it was so hard to convince them but something in me was so sure that he’s my brother, their supposed dead son.

After all efforts to persuade my parents was successful, I asked to meet his parents too because he adored them a lot which made me more curious. It was actually so hard since they were all busy people but during all this I haven’t told him anything.

On that fateful day I was so tensed, I didn’t know how I was gonna take it if it turns out to be true, I didn’t know how I’d react, I almost didn’t wanna go through with it and then boom his call came in and he told me I shouldn’t be late.

We got to their house, gosh the house was so beautiful and lovely. My twin brother was living large as he is the only child they have, he was a spoilt brat lol.

Oh I forgot to mention how my mom use to sing praises of how cute he was when she held him, his pointed nose, his teddy, skin, his eyes too, I must admit that I was always jealous, he was so cute even more than I am.

Immediately our parents saw there was a silence, the parents were so shocked.

They greeted my parents awkwardly that was when I sensed that I may be right after all.

After we got in his mom couldn’t take it and just burst into tears and she said “l never knew this day would come” and the dad had to hold her with tears also in his eyes.

They told us how everything happened and how they left the country and just moved back. They’ve wanted to tell him for so long that he was a twin and tell him the truth but they couldn’t find themselves doing it, they love him so much and just didn’t wanna lose him.

And yes, my twin brother was so furious, angry, betrayed, pissed that they lied to him all his life, hiding his identity from him, He left the house and I followed him, gosh I’ve never seen a man so broken in my life, he cried his eyes out and I was sure my hands were wrapped

around him and yes I cried too lol. I told him it was just time we met and he should not be angry at his parents, they did what they had to do. We can’t blame them because they were desperate to own a child.

Few hours later we went back inside and he looked at his biological parents i.e my parent and he huuuuuugggged them. Everyone was just in tears, he has a big heart I must say because he went back to his parents and said “I forgive you”

I don’t wanna bore you with my story lol but I just want you to know that I wish this story was true gosh I’ve longed for my twin brother all my life, I wish he was alive there somewhere living his life and I could just meet him once.

I don’t know if there are twins out there who lost their second and feel the same way I feel, I always know in my heart that if he was alive he’ll be my best friend, I’ve imagined a lot of things lol even knowing he’s not alive I pretend he is right here with me.

I even act sometimes whenever I’m alone and I imagine that he was there with me, talking to me about the girls crushing on him and how he’ll deal with any guy that messes with me, talking about how beautiful our future will become and how we’ll make our children close,

so many things that I can’t even type out

If you still have your twin with you, please cherish every moment, the fights (most important lol) the laughter, the joy, the matching outfit and every other thing.

Politics / Nigeria Youth Must Keep Innovating, Changing The Narrative - Dr Abu Temitope.j by Maniagist: 9:52am On Jan 31, 2020
Dr Abu Temitope Johnson empowers Students as he gifts them JAMB Forms in Ipele, Owo Local Government, Ondo State.

There is an infamous maxim that says "If you think that education is expensive, try the price of ignorance". This has been the  statement of purpose for Dr Abu Temitope Johnson.

The Ipele born optometrist has proven over time to be man of valour, epitome of excellence and an articulate defendant of the masses.

In all ramifications of human life, Dr Abu is indeed a colossus worthy of emulation from those trailing behind him. A fact must be established that he has been active towards alleviating the plight of humanity from his school days.

As a Senior Prefect Boy during his primary and secondary era at Saint Stephens Mercy Nur/Pry School and Owo Diocesan Anglican Grammar School respectively, he has been an icon with unblemished record.

While delivering a Lecture, as a Guest Speaker, on the topic, 'The Role of Youth Empowerment in a Community', at a symposium organized by the Great Young Shall Grow Club, on the 27th December, 2019, Dr Abu made it known to his audience that we don't have to be a political office holder before we empower the youths around us. He stated that the importance of youth Empowerment cannot be over emphasized in any sane environment.

As a visionary, a leader per excellence, a revolutionary and a defender of the masses, Dr Abu immediately took it upon himself to sponsor the JAMB Registration of two prospective candidates, not just by promise but by immediate action.

While appreciating this kind gesture, one of the beneficiaries, Miss Awobayiku Victoria thanked her sponsor and wished him well in all his endeavors.

She stressed that Dr Abu is indeed a rare gem who deserves to be in position of National Authority.

As the longest serving President of the 'National Association of Ipele Students (NAIS)' a social cultural students forum in his native home, Dr Abu Temitope Johnson showed the salubrious ethics of a leader.

For the first time in the History of the association, Dr Abu was able to accrue for it a bursary of One Million Naira(#1000000), ably sponsored by Sen.(Chief) Titus Olajide Olupitan, a son of the soil.

This feat remains a landmark and a threshold for a young man in his late twenties.

It becomes imperative to note that Dr Abu Temitope Johnson is the first Ipele Indigene to become the Speaker of the 'Owo Local Government Area Students Union (OLGASU)'.

Posterity shall remain lenient to him for his immeasurable achievement during this time, most importantly, standing firm against the storms of "cabals"

On a final note, the Holy Bible says in the book of Proverbs that "See thou a Man who is diligent in his duties, he shall sit among kings and not mean men" Indeed, Dr Abu Temitope is a diligent man, who hasn't sit among kings along but among the echelon of high ranks.

His education and enlightenment never sway him off his traditions as he heads his age grade as the Olotu Olokoroba.

Over time, the people of his community has been empowered as beneficiaries in some of his self sponsored programmes such as Free Eyes Check up/Treatment, stationary for school children and a plethora of others.

Without mincing words, here is an astute man who has done exploit without holding any political position, not even at the grassroot level.

Here is a man who understands the power of empowerment, who knows the basis of education and who has committed himself to this course without flinching or succumbing to pressures.

The country, society, community and the immediate environment needs a colossus like Dr Abu Temitope Johnson at the realm of National Affairs.

It is definitely a certainty that the future of Nigeria, our states, our Constituencies, Local Government and even Wards will never be in vague, whenever we remember that there still exists among us a real Man Of The People and an Apostle of  Civil Responsibility.

Seventh round

Compubox says that 93% of the fight has been fought at distance, a clear advantage to the taller Joshua. I can barely remember a clinch so far. Joshua gets in a few hooks and for a moment breaks from the plan and darts in to do damage from close range. But he springs back before Ruiz can do damage.

Ruiz predicted that he’d let Joshua dance and jab for the first rounds before going in and causing damage, but the Briton hasn’t let him inside all fight ... so far. Joshua gets in close and delivers a blow to Ruiz’s body. It does damage but Ruiz will have no problem with the challenger getting in where he can do damage to him. Ruiz looks slow, and who knows how that extra 15lbs he’s put on since June will tell as the fight wears on.

The vaseline goes on Ruiz’s cut. He doesn’t look too worried, but even though Joshua won that first round, the Briton was a lot more cautious than he was in the first fight when his aggression got him in trouble. Two nice jabs from Ruiz, his best shots of the fight. Joshua focusing on that area with the cut and it’s reopened early in the round.

When I look at the first fight and I see certain things as a fighter, a lot of red flags that alert me. And if that same mindset and momentum goes into the second fight, Andy Ruiz is going to win that easily.

I’d prefer him to win because we’re in the same stable. When he wins we have the opportunity to unify the division. If Anthony Joshua wins, I don’t think that’s gonna be.

He got knocked down four times, and then he quit. That is huge for me. On the outside looking in, to see how that fight occurred and everything that was going on, I think he’s going to be fighting his demons inside of that ring, not just Ruiz.

I know he’s trying to cancel out a lot of things in his mind, especially, including me, his biggest and ultimate rival.

I think Ruiz has the momentum to go in and do it again. It definitely was a big confidence builder and a booster for him to win that first one, especially after getting put on his ass and getting back up and then to put Joshua down four times. It changed his life.

But coming [out with a win] in the rematch can change his life forever. And for those reasons, I’m leaning towards Ruiz.

Tyson Fury

Fury said on the True Geordie Podcast: “Andy Ruiz is a little fat pig, comes in on three weeks’ notice, murdered every donut and taco in California and then goes in with a man who’s had a 12-week training camp with every sports scientist in the United Kingdom.

But the little fat fella goes in there and bowls him over in seven rounds…

I see it going pretty much similar to the first fight.

I know that they’ve both lost some weight, they’ve had more time to prepare, they’ve changed a few things in their training teams and all that.

They’ll have different approaches and they’ll try different game plans, but Mike Tyson said it: ‘Everyone’s got a great game plan until thy get punched in the face.

You can be working on something for ages, you work on it, work on it, work on it, and you get tagged and that’s it.

You go back to how you once was and you wanna fight.

They’re both big strong men and they both can knock each other out, but he beat him once and knocked him out, so he’s got a mental edge going into that rematch.

You’re going into that mentally beaten already because you’ve already been knocked out…

Everybody has a bogeyman in their career. Whether you find him or not, everybody’s got one. I think personally he may be the bogeyman for him, who knows?”

Luis Ortiz

Ortiz said: “It’s Andy Ruiz’s time to step up and show up, show it wasn’t no fluke.

He should be able to do it as long as his mind’s in the right place.

I’m not 100 per cent sure, Anthony Joshua is gonna probably come to do a little more boxing, a little more leg work and not just meet him in the middle of the ring.

So that makes it a little bit of a tougher fight for Andy, but you never know between two punchers.

Obviously Andy’s not a huge puncher, but he’s big enough to knock out Joshua, so anything can happen.”

Lennox Lewis

Lewis said: “If they don’t fix what is wrong with Joshua, Ruiz Jr wins that fight hands down.

It must be mental as he didn’t look the same coming to the ring as he usually looked.

Hopefully it will come out in the future. Joshua made it easy for Ruiz Jr because he wasn’t fully there.

Mike Tyson

I don’t know [what will happen in the rematch] because anything is possible.

They’re both great human beings, I like both of them personally, but this is a fight and I just hope the best man wins.

It doesn’t matter about your style, your technique, or size, it’s the morality in the fight.

You can have this [good] technique but if you’ve got no zest, no morality, no guts, you’re nothing. Your style means nothing. It’s all about morality, the desire and the will.
