Politics / Ize-iyamu Stands To C Of O For Moving APC Mega Rally To His Residence - Edo Govt by Ogbetaonline(f): 7:31am On Dec 14, 2019
Edo State Government has warned that any private residence used for the purported rally of the All Progressives Congress in Edo state will have its certificate of occupancy revoked.

The organisers of the mega rally had moved the event to the private residence of the 2016 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Pastor Osagie Iye-Iyamu along Ugbor-Amagba road in Benin City.

According to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, Esq, “having received security advice from the office of the Inspector General of Police. The state government places a total and complete ban on any political rallies, demonstrations or processions in any part of the state.”

He said, security agencies are expected to deal firmly with all persons no matter how highly-placed who will act in breach of the directive.

Ogie advised all parents and guardians to also advise their children and wards not to be allowed to be used by anyone as cannon-fodder in the aid of misguided political ambition and ego of people whose children reside and school abroad.

Crime / Blood Flows As Men Of Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps Clash With Traders by Ogbetaonline(f): 11:20pm On Dec 07, 2019
No it wasn't the street traders that were badly injured, but the operatives. They were restricted and BEATEN! Yes, you heard me!! This occurred yesterday, December 6th at Ikoyi. And the Lagos state Government broke the sad news about 3 hours ago on Twitter.

The tweets;

''Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps were badly injured on Friday 6th of December, 2019, while carrying out enforcement on street traders along Queens Drive in Ikoyi, leaving three operational trucks damaged

''The exercise, which is part of the Governor’s mandate to clear the State of all environmental nuisance and infractions, was led by Deputy Corps Marshals, Mr. Ganiu Kazeem and Mr. Adeleke Adeeso

''Kazeem explained that the team arrived at the scene of the incident at about 1:45 pm but were attacked by staff of the Federal High Court with the support of private security personnel

''The Deputy Corp Marshal confirmed that some of suspects were arrested during the fracas, while the case was also immediately reported at the Ikoyi Police Station for further investigation

''He advised Lagosians to comply with the laws on street trading as the government would no longer tolerate the slightest attack on any enforcement personnel''

Celebrities / Nigerian Taoheed Bayo Designs Sneaker For Nike by Ogbetaonline(f): 6:15am On Dec 06, 2019
Taoheed Bayo, a Nigerian student at University of Minnesota of is making waves after designing a sneaker for Nike, that mirrors his Nigerian and African heritage.

Bayo’s roommate had messaged him about a Nike design challenge that he thought Bayo could not pass up.

Nike had put the word out it was seeking designers to deliver a unique riff on the company’s classic sneaker. Weeks later, the Nigeria native and model was among three dozen across the country chosen to compete in the Nike BY You X Cultivator contest.

Each had two weeks to create their own Nike shoe and develop a unique backstory that could appeal to consumers. Once that was done, they had to market and sell their custom sneaker.

Bayo, 21, reached back to his Nigerian roots and youth for inspiration, creating a shoe grounded in his heritage. The result: the Afro-Yute Air Max 1. The Afro-Yute’s been selling, but it’s also delivered something else Bayo had wanted — it’s teaching others about Africa.

“The most intense part, it was the designing,” said Bayo, who also goes by TBuzz. “The most integral part I think was having a story that resonates with a lot of people and making sure that it’s authentic as possible. But, you’re also trying to design a shoe that you want everybody to buy, not just something you like.”

Bayo settled on green for the shoe base because it represented Earth and Africa. Like the Nigerian flag, he chose white as a compliment to the earthy color.

In the comment sections, young people shared their enthusiasm for Bayo’s project, while others visited Nike’s website to purchase his Nike Air Max 1s.

With the Nike Challenge over for now, Bayo is back focusing on finishing his degree in actuarial science, a study that combines math, statistics and insurance.

He said he isn’t overly concerned about his shoe sales. By the end of the year he’ll know how Afro-Yute did compared to his fellow Nike creatives.

For now, he is more concerned that young people learn about their history and talk to their parents about their family ancestry.


“I was born in Africa. I was born out of my roots,” he said. “For all the people that was born in the United States, it’s your duty, whether you like it or not to seek your truth and, you know, find your heritage.”

Crime / 23 Dead, 130 Injured In Sudan Factory Fire by Ogbetaonline(f): 7:38pm On Dec 04, 2019
At least 23 people died and more than 130 were injured in Sudan after a fire triggered an explosion at a factory in northern Khartoum on Tuesday, according to state news agency SUNA.

The incident happened while a tanker truck was offloading gas at a ceramics manufacturing company in an industrial area of the city.

Sudan’s Council of Ministers said it had set up a committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the fire and how such accidents could be prevented, the agency said.


The council also directed the Ministry of Health to launch a public appeal for blood donations for survivors who are in need of blood transfusions.

The preliminary death toll from the fire was 15, according to the Sudanese Doctors Union, which called on their colleagues that were off-duty to rush to the hospitals to help.

The Central Committee of Sudan Doctors (CCSD) in a post in Arabic on Facebook said many of the wounded in the fire had been taken to several hospitals in the capital for treatment.

Foreign Affairs / Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson Caught On Tape Gossiping Trump by Ogbetaonline(f): 12:17pm On Dec 04, 2019
*Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson caught gossiping while Princess Anne stands with them

*Nobody mentions Trump by name, but they appear to be referencing an impromptu press conference he gave

*Boris asks 'Is that why you were late?' and Trudeau replies: 'Because he takes a 40 minute press conference'

*Video then skips to a later moment, where Trudeau adds: 'You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor'

*The world leaders were gathered at a Buckingham Palace reception to mark NATO's 70th anniversary Tuesday

Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson were caught on a hot mic at the Buckingham Palace NATO reception yesterday evening, appearing to gossip about Donald Trump and the length of his impromptu press conferences.

In a clip, the three world leaders seem to be discussing why the French President was late during the London summit, held to mark the alliance's 70th anniversary. Princess Anne also appears to be involved in the discussion but it is unclear if or how she responds.

In the clip, British Prime Minister Johnson asks: 'Is that why you were late?' as he stoops down and chuckles in disbelief, before Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, swigging from his drink, shoots back: 'He was late because he takes a 40 minute press conference off the top.'

The video then cuts to a later clip, which is without context, and sees Macron pointing furiously before Mr Rutte exclaims 'fake news media' and Trudeau adds: 'You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor.' He then motions as if his jaw is dropping. However, it is not known if Trump is the focus of that comment as the video has been edited.

The US President has touched down in Marine One as he and other world leaders gear up for today's NATO summit in Hertfordshire.

Fashion / Veronika Didusenko, Miss Ukraine Banned By Miss World For Being Single Mum by Ogbetaonline(f): 5:30am On Dec 03, 2019
A BEAUTY queen is taking legal action against the Miss World contest after she was banned for being a mum.

Veronika Didusenko, 24, was crowned Miss Ukraine in 2018 but stripped of her title four days later when it was revealed she was divorced with a son.

She should have gone on to represent her country in the Miss World finals but was banned from taking part and replaced by another contestant.

Veronika claims bosses of the UK-owned Miss World franchise are in breach of the Equalities Act 2010 and has demanded they change their “outdated” entry rules.

She said: “It was really humiliating when I was disqualified. I was very upset. I had to hand back the title, the crown and prize money.

“I couldn’t believe they would do such a thing in this day and age.

“Why does having a son and being previously married disqualify me? It’s shocking.”

Veronika, who travels to modelling jobs with son Alex, five, added: “I can’t believe these rules still exist. They are archaic. I think they are breaching equalities laws.”
