Investment / Tesla CEO Elon Musk Offers To Buy Twitter For $43 Billion by Marcaul(m): 2:44pm On Apr 14, 2022
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter, claiming that the social media platform, which he has criticized for failing to uphold free speech principles, needs to be transformed into a private company.
Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing on Thursday that Musk, the company's current largest shareholder, has proposed purchasing the remaining shares of Twitter that he does not already own for $54.20 per share, a bid worth more than $43 billion.

Musk called that price his best and final offer, but he didn't elaborate on financing.
The offer is non-binding and is subject to financing and other terms.

“I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” Musk said in the filing. “However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.”

Twitter stated that it has received Musk's offer and will consider whether accepting it or continuing to operate as a publicly traded company is in the best interests of its shareholders.

Musk's buyout offer is just the most recent development in his relationship with Twitter.

In recent regulatory filings, the billionaire revealed that he began buying shares in almost daily batches on January 31.

Only Vanguard Group's mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) own more Twitter shares.

According to a filing, Twitter quickly gave Musk a seat on its board on the condition that he not own more than 14.9 percent of the company's outstanding stock. However, Musk backed out of the deal.

Musk's 81 million Twitter followers place him among the most popular figures on the platform, competing with pop stars such as Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. However, his prolific tweeting has occasionally landed him in trouble with the SEC and others.

Musk has described himself as a free speech advocate and has stated that he does not believe Twitter is upholding free speech principles, an opinion shared by followers of Donald Trump and a number of other right-wing political figures whose accounts have been suspended for violating Twitter content rules.

Sports / David Beckham Gifts Son Brooklyn A $500,000 Jaguar XK140 On His Wedding Day by Marcaul(m): 8:47am On Apr 11, 2022
Former footballer David Beckham gave his son, Brooklyn, and daughter-in-law, Nicola, an all-electric Jaguar XK140 Open Two Seater (OTS) by Lunaz worth $500,000 as a wedding gift in Palm Beach, Florida, USA.

The wedding took place in a $103 million compound belonging to American billionaire Nelson Peltz.

This bespoke commissioned by Beckham clean-air classic is the result of thousands of hours of work by the company's 120 strong teams of craftspeople, designers, and Electric Vehicle (EV) technicians, and was built entirely in-house at Lunaz's Silverstone headquarters.

This 1954 Jaguar XK140 is finished in a lovely light blue.

Beckham announced in June 2021 that he had invested in Lunaz, the UK's fastest-growing clean-tech company. Since then, the company has grown at a breakneck pace, more than doubling its workforce and establishing the UK's largest remanufacturing and electrification facility adjacent to its current headquarters in the Silverstone Technology Park.

Lunaz now has a total manufacturing footprint of 210,000 square feet, making it the largest company in the internationally renowned Silverstone Technology Cluster in terms of both space and personnel.

Crime / Flood Sweeps 11-year-old Boy And His Rescuer To Death In Lagos by Marcaul(m): 5:30pm On Oct 12, 2019
Tragedy struck residents of Aboru and Iyana-Ipaja in Alimosho area of Lagos on Saturday as flood swept away an 11-year-old boy and his rescuer, one Wasiu into a canal linking Aburo and Iyana-Ipaja on Ige Road.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent, who visited the scene of the accident observed huge crowd wearing long faces due to the unfortunate incident that occurred following the overflow of the canal.

It was gathered that two young boys sent by their parents to buy cooking gas at a gas station unknowingly fell into the drain through which water passed into the canal.

“Three young men attempted rescuing the boys and succeeded in rescuing the older one, but one of the rescuers popularly known as Wasiu Stubborn was swept away while trying to rescue the other victim,” eyewitnesses told the NAN.

Speaking to NAN at the scene, Mr Solomon Agboghoroma, a Community Development Association leader in Oki town, regretted the development, blaming the failure of government to construct a bridge in the area for such incidents.

Agboghoroma, who recounted the ordeals of landlords and residents of the area anytime it rained, said that there was the need to expand Aboru road and build a bridge at Cement Bud Stop to forestall recurrence of such tragedy.

“This rain started almost four or five days ago but the one of last night was one of the heaviest and it started at about 2:15 am and by 3:15am, it came with full force and everwhere was flooded.

“At about 7:30 am or 8:00am, we learnt that an OPC member, who was security guard in one of the gas stations here was carried away by flood while trying to rescue two children who came to buy gas, but fell into the drain.

“The gas station had not opened because of the flood as the whole place including the canal had overflowed its banks.

“The children misplaced their legs and the two of them fell inside the gutter. This OPC boy went and rescued one but in the process of rescuing the second child, he and the boy fell into the canal and that was the end,” Agboghoroma said.

He blamed the government for the tragedy, saying that several petitions had been written to successive governments in the state from the time of former Gov. Babatunde Fashola to the last administration of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode.

“People have been dying in situation like this here and all landlords have tried, including raising almost N4 million for dredging of the canal.

“The government knows what to do when it is ready because this canal contract was award sometime in 2011 or 2012. When we taxed ourselves, Fashola came and commended us and promised palliative and government takeover.

” The government should come and do the bridge as against this culvert that is here. This flat culvert cannot contain water. The government should widening this road and ensure the canal is dug for the peace and safety of residents,” he added.

Mr Suleiman Adedokun, an eye witness and a shop owner beside the canal, told NAN that the rescuer, named “Wasiu Stubborn “, entered the drain to rescue the boy but the flood swept both of them away into the canal.

“Wasiu tried, succeeded in catching the second boy but his effort to come out of the drain proved futile as it was not easy for him due to the force of the water.

“It is the bad road and narrow culvert that caused these deaths because these two children that fell inside the drain didn’t know it was there as water covered everywhere,” Adedokun said.

A furniture maker, Mr Gift Wejem, who decried the tragedy, said that flood had severally swept away furniture, materials, machines and generator whenever the canal overflowed its bank.

An officer of the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corps (LSNC), who spoke to NAN on condition of anonymity, said that the agency got the information at about 9:00 am that flood carried away one Mr Wasiu a.k.a, stubborn while trying to rescue two children.

He said that the LSNC had made efforts and called relevant agencies of government, who he said might arrive the scene anytime.

“We are trying to locate the parents of the children and also to contact the family of Wasiu,” the LNSC officer said .

Politics / Senator Dino Melaye Joins Nollywood by Marcaul(m): 2:02pm On Oct 12, 2019
Senator Dino Melaye has joined Nollywood just few hours after the Appeal Court affirmed the decision of the Kogi Election Petition Tribunal nullifying his victory.

The outspoken senator will be featured as one of the key actors, in a Television series titled ‘Equity unbound,” an idea of the Pillars of Hope African Initiative (POHAI).

Other prominent actors including Linc Edochie, Victor Decke, Chief Bruno Iwuola and Paul Sambo will also be featured in the TV series.

Addressing a world press conference, the Country Director of POHAI, Chinyere Onyemekara, said the main focus of the project is on ‘equal rights and sociai justices in Africa,’ using Nigeria as a case study.

“Equity unbound TV series is a soap opera that holistically ex-ray the quality of justice system in Nigeria and its attendant effect on both the masses, the elites and the government.

“It is a mind-blowing expository drama presentation of the human rights challenges of an ordinary common Nigerian. A good example of the issues treated in this series is the recent report by BBC, on the pervasive threat of “sax for grades and sex for Marks” in Nigeria’s institutions of learning.



“A 120mins pilot episode of Equity unbound TV series has been shot with so many celebrity Actors and with state of the art equipment cum professionais and highly motivated crew.

“The idea of this is to use drama as an effective tool of communication to correct the ills and promote an acceptable social justice system in Nigeria.

“Gentlemen of the press, you will agree that Africa and Nigeria in particular is far behind in terms of perfect justice system and equitable society.

“We at POHAI has taken it upon ourselves to expose these shortcomings for the purpose of strategic attention and correction:

“We hereby call on members of the fourth estate of the realm, civil society groups, the international community, cooperate organizations, Nigerian government at all levels and well-meaning Nigerians to support in whatever way possible to bring this humanitarian project to fruition,” Onyemekara stated.



Speaking on why he joined the drama, Senator Dino Melaye, expressed happiness to be part of the series that will expose unjust act in the society.

Melaye said: “I’m happy to have participated in the series, especially as it will help correct social problems in the country. I am not a greenhorn in acting because I emerged as the best actor during my NYSC program.

“I am ready to serve this country in any capacity and I feel that participating in the series is another way of contributing my quota in correcting the social ills in Nigeria.

“If I have such opportunity again I won’t hesitate to take it,” Melaye stated.

The drama’s director said that Senator Dino Melaye acted the role of Joshua in the series, which is an assemblage of professional actors and politicians.

“The drama is all about tackling social vices in the society. The drama, he said captures such issues like corruption, injustice, bad governance and so on.”

Celebrities / How My Video Once Saved A Lady From Committing Suicide - Comedian, Bro Solomon by Marcaul(m): 1:53pm On Oct 12, 2019
Onoruvie Godswill, aka Bro Solomon/Laughpillscomedy, is a comedian with a following of over 500,000 on Instagram. He tells TOLUWALOPE KAREEM about his journey so far

[b]How did your journey into comedy start?
[/b]It started when no one was there to help me. I have always wanted to act. However, actualising the dream was very difficult. I remember back then, I used to go to movie locations to beg for roles, but I was always turned down.

I didn’t want my passion to die just like that, and it was in the course of thinking deeply about what to do that the idea of online comedy skits came to me. I tried it out and I realised it was a good one, so I delved into it fully and have been giving it my best since then.

How would you describe the experience of being a social media celebrity?
It has being an awesome experience. The major highlight, for me, is being able to touch and impact on people’s lives with my skits. I get a lot of praises and positive feedback from people, which makes me delighted.

I have got a lot of testimonies from people on account of my skits. There was a time a lady called me and told me she was going for an operation. She was really scared and nervous, and had already given up on life. However, before the operation, she was going through her Instagram page and suddenly, my video popped up and she watched it. She said she laughed so hard and felt relieved. The fear she had before the operation abated and at the end of the day, the surgery was successful.

A girl also once told me that she had wanted to end her life because she was in a bad situation with her boyfriend, until she came across one of my videos online. She then watched others and laughed so hard to the point that she forgot about the situation she was in and what she was planning to do. She eventually sent me a sum of N20,000. There was also a time a fan gave me N100,000— he said my contents always got to him and made him laugh, so he decided to appreciate me. Getting feedbacks like that make me so proud of myself. Also, I feel happy whenever I go out and people recognise me.

However, I believe I am not a celebrity yet. I’m still working hard to get to that point. But, with the little I have attained, the experience has been interesting.

You are known for your distinct facial expressions, and at the end of your skits, you always pull your slippers and run. How did that become a feature in your skits?
My facial expressions are usually determined by the situation at that moment. The expressions balance the skits and make them funnier. In my skits, I mostly happen to be in one situation or the other which would warrant me needing to escape, so I always have to run away at the end. It started from one of my skits where, based on the script, I was a youth leader and I impregnated my pastor’s daughter. During the service she had come to testify and it was discovered that I was responsible for her pregnancy, so I had to run away. The video went viral and I got a lot of praises for the way I ran. I then adopted that style and it has since become a trademark.

[b]How do you get ideas for your skits?
[/b]Most of the ideas are based on reality— things that happen around me and things I watch. I talk about real life situations and make them funny, while at the same time, passing messages for people to learn from.

For example, one of my skits addressed how people react to infidelity in marriage. When a man cheats, it is not considered a sin; rather, he would even be applauded. But, when the woman cheats, she is disgraced and stigmatised. In that skit, I was able to pass the information that everybody’s feelings should be respected. A man shouldn’t be praised for something that is clearly wrong, and vice versa. Because of this skit, a king invited me to his palace and told me that he really appreciated the concept.

Above all, my ideas are a product of God’s grace

What are some of the weird requests and comments you get from fans?
[/b]Some are encouraging, some are funny, and some are annoying. Whichever way they come in, I look for a proper way to respond. If a comment is really annoying, I would rather ignore. One of the annoying comments I’ve got was when someone told me that my skit was rubbish. I had just uploaded a video that day, and I am sure the person didn’t even watch it, because within 27 seconds, he commented, “This is a rubbish video. Oga, go and look for a better job”. I deleted it because that is what I do whenever I get such comments.

On the other hand, I get beautiful and encouraging comments from people too.

[b]How do your fans react when they see you?

There was a day I was strolling and a car passed by. Immediately the person recognised me, he was so happy and he had to come down to take a picture with me. Also, over the weekend at a wedding, a lady wanted to tell me that she was a fan but she was probably scared or shy. Suddenly, someone pulled her to me and said she was my biggest fan. The lady just kept smiling and told me how she liked my work. She also asked to take a picture with me. Even before she completed the statement, I already positioned myself for the picture.

Here in Benin (Edo State), my fans react in really funny ways when they see me. Some of them would hail me and tell me that they are subscribed to my YouTube channel and other social media pages. They would then ask me for the money they allegedly spent on subscription.

Politics / Nigeria Set To Partner Britain On Job Creation by Marcaul(m): 7:23am On Oct 07, 2019
Nigeria has expressed its readiness to partner Britain in tackling unemployment in the country through job creation.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, stated this when he received the Political Counsellor, British High Commission, Abuja, Dominic Williams in his office in Abuja recently.

"We are ready to collaborate with our partners all over the world to open up avenues for job creation. We are open to all kinds of suggestions and levels of co-operation," he said.

He disclosed that government has opened other sectors as part of efforts to diversify the economy from oil, which would in turn create room for employment.

He also said that part of the efforts of government to diversify the economy and boost job creation included empowering people to go back to the farm through the Anchor Borrowers' Programme, as well as activating the mines and steel sector.

Keyamo noted that government, through the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), has been empowering many youths by training them on basic skills to make them self-employed, as well as employers of labour.

He observed that empowering the youths with the acquisition of skills has also reduced the practice of importing such skills from other countries.

Earlier, the Political Counsellor, British High Commission Abuja, Dominic Williams, sought ways that Britain could assist Nigeria in its efforts at job creation.

Crime / 7 Travellers Killed As Landmine Explodes In North East by Marcaul(m): 8:27am On Sep 27, 2019
At least seven persons were killed in an explosion while travelling along Biu-Buratai-Buni Yadi-Damaturu road.

The explosion was suspected to have been caused by a landmine or an improvised explosive device (IED).
The incident occurred between Kamuya and Buratai (hometown of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai) at 10:30 am on Thursday.

According to the report, the driver took off at Biu motor park in a Golf Volkswagen car and was heading for Maiduguri en route Buratai-Buni Yadi-Damaturu road as a result of constant attacks at Damboa road (a shorter but very risky route for motorists to ply).

"Unfortunately, this Biu-Buni Yadi-Damaturu road is becoming a death trap for passengers. We lost all six passengers and a driver who left Biu to Maiduguri but stepped on a landmine after Buratai village before they entered Yobe State.

"Sadly, IEDs which planted on the bad parts of the road exploded and destroyed the vehicle with all seven occupants blown into pieces.
"We are saddened by this ugly incident. We can't ply Damboa-Maiduguri highway due to Boko Haram attacks. Gradually Biu-Damaturu is getting out of hand," a road worker said.

There was an ambush by terrorists along the road some weeks ago which claimed the life of a soldier.

The latest killing came on the heels of the kidnapping and eventual release of six transportation personnel on the same route.

Crime / Police Arrest Robber Of Commercial Sex Workers In Edo by Marcaul(m): 8:13am On Sep 23, 2019
The Police in Edo State at the weekend arrested a 30-year old man identified as God’stime Ogechi, who specialises in robbing commercial sex workers at Ugbiyoko Community in Egor Council Area of the state.

Parading the suspect at the police command, Edo State Police Commissioner, Danmallam Mohammed, said the suspect is a one-man gang that uses a rod-like gun to rob call girls while pretending to pay them for spending the night with him.

“When he takes them to a dark street, he would bring out the rod and the girls thinking, that it is a gun, would give him their phones and money including the one he paid them.

“But luck ran out of him when one of his victims ran away when they got to a dark street at Ugbiyoko area and when Ogechi went back to collect the money he paid her for the night, some of the girls recognised him, which led to his arrest,” Mohammed explained.

Ogechi, who confessed to the crime, said he has lost count of the number of girls he has robbed saying, “I don’t have any gang. I operate along Ekenwan Road. I pick street girls at night and rob them. I usually chat with them and tell them that I want to take them for daybreak. When we get to a dark corner, I will bring out this thing like a gun and threaten them.

“They will give me their phones. I cannot remember the number of girls I have robbed. I was caught when one of the girls ran away after I have paid her. I went back to the spot where I picked her from and asked for my money. She raised alarm,” Ogechi said
