SportsAlgerian Man Imane Khelif Wins Olympic Gold Medal In Women’s Boxing by ShoeGetSize(op): 1:05pm On Aug 10, 2024
Imane Khelif said "attacks" over her gender eligibility gave her victory a "special taste" after she won Olympic women's boxing gold a year after being disqualified from the World Championships.

The Algerian was banned and reported to have failed gender eligibility tests but, having been allowed to compete in Paris, beat Chinese world champion Yang Liu by unanimous decision over five rounds to win welterweight gold.

"I am fully qualified to take part in this competition," said 25-year-old Khelif. "I am a woman like any other woman.

"I was born a woman. I have lived as a woman. I competed as a woman - there is no doubt about that."

Khelif said she had been a victim of "bullying" and that the International Boxing Association (IBA) "hate me and I really don’t know why".

In the arena she was roared to the ring by swathes of Algeria supporters, who waved their green, white and red flags.

Khelif dominated the fight and was showboating at the final bell, dancing while knowing victory was hers, before her and Yang shared a warm embrace.

When the result was confirmed, Yang raised Khelif's arm in the air - a contrast to the scenes after the Algerian's opening fight against Italy's Angela Carini - and the new champion was then carried around a jubilant arena on the shoulders of her coach.

Lin Yu-ting, who was also banned last year under the same ruling, will fight Poland's Julia Szeremeta in the featherweight final on Saturday.

Khelif had tears in her eyes and was applauded by Lin and bronze medallists Chen Nien-chin of Chinese Taipei and Thailan's Janjaem Suwannapheng as the Algerian national anthem was played.

Carini abandoned the first-round bout with Khelif after 46 seconds, saying she had to "preserve" her life.

Khelif, whose previous best result was a world silver in 2022, followed that bout with convincing, unanimous-decision victories to reach the final.

This was expected to be a tougher bout - Yang represented a step up in class - but it proved to be another clear victory.

Yang was due to face Khelif in the final of last year's World Championship - a title Wang went on to win - but Khelif was disqualified by the IBA before they met.

The IBA said Khelif and Lin "failed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women's competition, as set and laid out in the IBA regulations".

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which runs the boxing events at the Olympics, allowed them to compete, raised doubts about the tests and strongly criticised the IBA, insisting Khelif and Lin were "born and raised as women".

President Thomas Bach said earlier on Friday that the IOC "does not like the uncertainty" but suggested there is not a "scientifically solid system" to "identify men and women".

Khelif said she has been criticised by "enemies of success".

"That also gives my success a special taste because of these attacks," she said.

A chaotic news conference held by the IBA last week did little to clear the confusion around Khelif and Lin's bans.

Chief executive Chris Roberts said the pair had "chromosome tests", while president Umar Kremlev appeared to suggest the tests determined the fighters' testosterone levels.

The BBC has been unable to determine what the eligibility tests consisted of.

The Russian-led IBA was stripped of its status as amateur boxing's governing body by the IOC in 2019 because of fears over its governance and regulation.


"They know me very well," Khelif said. "They know what I am capable, how I have developed over the years, but now they are not recognised any more.

"They hate me and I really don’t know why."

Khelif said she had sent a "single message" with her gold - that her "dignity and honour is above everything else".

"My message to the whole world is that they should to commit to Olympic principles and they should avoid bullying," she said.

"This is a message of the Olympic values.

"I hope people will stop bullying and commit to the Olympic charter. We are in the Olympic to perform as athletes. I hope we will not see similar attacks in the future."

Many of Khelif and Lin's opponents and their coaching teams have been unhappy with their involvement, indicating a level of discontent behind the scenes.

Immediately after her loss to Khelif, Carini said it "was not right", although she later apologised for how she handled the moments after the fight. Her coach said he had advised her not to fight, saying people had told her not to "fight a man".

Before Khelif's second-round fight, opponent Anna Luca Hamori from Hungary said "I don't think it is fair", while the Hungarian Boxing Association protested about Khelif's inclusion. After the fight Hamori wished Khelif good luck.

Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng said after her semi-final defeat: "She is a woman but very strong."

Two of Lin's opponents made 'X' gestures - said to be intended to represent female chromosomes - in the ring after defeat.

Bulgaria's Svetlana Kamenova Staneva left the arena saying "no, no, no" and made the 'X' sign.

Before the fight, she said Lin's presence was "not good for boxing", while her boxing federation said it "strongly" opposed Lin and Khelif’s participation at Paris 2024.


After losing to Lin in the semi-finals, Turkey's Esra Yildiz Kahraman made the 'X' sign in the centre of the ring.

A popular YouTuber called Kitboga who has over 3.5 million followers on the platform recently "disgraced" a Nigerian scammer named Chris.

Chris told Kitboga that he works for Halliburton Investments which has an oil rig that extracts oil from the moon.

Chris asked Kitboga to invest $5 million dollars in the scheme.

Kitboga used AI to disguise his voice so that Chris would think he was talking to a elderly woman and Chris began to refer to him as "my love"

All along, Chris was using a fake American accent but at one point became angry when he realised he would not be getting the 5 million dollars and he began to speak Igbo😂

SportsOlympics: Alysha Newman Twerks After Winning Medal by ShoeGetSize(op): 6:14pm On Aug 09, 2024
Canadian pole vaulter and OnlyFans star Alysha Newman went viral Wednesday after celebrating her Olympic bronze medal by twerking.

The 30-year-old athlete stunned fans in Paris when she cleared 4.85 meters in a hotly contested final, with her third-place conquest making her the first Canadian woman to take home a medal in the event, The Telegraph reported.

However, soon after concluding her record-setting performance, Newman shook her butt toward the crowds and television cameras with a big grin across her face — a move that would later divide the Internet on whether she was trying to promote her OnlyFans or just celebrating with a silly dance.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2408092245130111.jpg

“Olympic athletes used to be considered heroes and a source of national pride. This is just gross,” one person commented underneath a video of Newman twerking.

Despite some negativity surrounding her celebration, many social media users were quick to defend her actions as lighthearted fun.

“These comments are miserable, let someone who’s worked hard for 4 years have fun. Y’all sitting on the couch getting closer to type 2 diabetes every day,” one social media user chimed in.

“Alysha has the right to celebrate in anyway she wants,” another person said.


Newman, who is from Delaware, Ontario, in Canada, charges £10 ($12.70) a month for access to her adult-only content.

She is far from the only Olympian making use of the steamy subscription service to rake in some extra cash.

British diver Jack Laugher, who is also competing at the 2024 Paris Games, sent fans into a frenzy when he unveiled his account, charging $10 per month for access to his content.

“Obviously, I’ve got what people want,” the 29-year-old told The Telegraph. “I’ll happily cash in on that. I’m a bit of a hustler and I want a bit more money if I can.”

The diver says the adult-only site helps supplement the minuscule salary he makes as a competitive athlete.

“The funding hasn’t changed [in years],” he stated. “I’m top three in the world, and it is £28,000 [USD $36,000] a year.”

Laugher didn’t disclose how much money he takes home from his OnlyFans account, which does not feature full-frontal nudity.

Instead, Laugher shares “SFW [safe for work] content in speedos, briefs, boxer and more!” as well as the option for followers to chat with him.

Newman is far from the only Olympian with an OnlyFans account.

Several of Laugher’s teammates, including, Noah Williams, 24, Daniel Goodfellow, 27, and Matty Lee, 26, have also started OnlyFans accounts, sharing similarly titillating — but not explicit — content.

The platform has also been utilized by retired Olympians, like short-track speed skater Elise Christie, who says her account “saved her life” after her retirement three years ago.

“I went from being someone who won medals under a system to then having absolutely nothing and just being dropped out and left to understand life,” she told the paper.

“I had lost my house and was working three jobs at the time… [OnlyFans] brought me back from a really dark place, and I now use it positively,” she stated, adding that she does not share X-rated content.

Here is evidence to show that men can father children until well into their 80s and even beyond.
As a man, never allow these frustrated feminists to male power and virility to you, because they are too jealous of your masculinity to ever tell you the truth

Geriatric fatherhood refers to men who father children at an older age, typically after 50 years old. Here are five examples of geriatric fatherhood in humans:

1. Charlie Chaplin: The famous actor and comedian had his last child, Christopher, when he was 73 years old in 1962.

2. Pablo Picasso: The renowned artist fathered his youngest child, Paloma, when he was 68 years old in 1949.

3. George Clooney: The actor became a father to twins, Ella and Alexander, at the age of 56 in 2017.

4. Saul Bellow: The Nobel Prize-winning author fathered his fourth child, Naomi Rose, at the age of 84 in 1999.

5. Robert De Niro: The actor welcomed his seventh child in 2023 when he was 79 years old.

These cases illustrate how men can father children well into their later years.

The Bible says: "Answer a fool according to his folly".

So since you have made this about value depreciation based on reduced capacity to father a child as a consequence of aging, here is the Late Alaafin of Oyo fathering a child at the age of 81.

Produce evidence of an 81 year old woman conceiving a child. If you don’t, then you've just made a fool of yourself.

Last year, an analysis by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (Mapping a Surge of Disinformation in Africa – Africa Center for Strategic Studies) identified a total of 80 Russia-funded disinformation campaigns conducted in 22 African countries. Nearly 40 percent of all disinformation campaigns identified in Africa were organized by Russia.
PoliticsAfrica Center For Strategic Studies: Russia Is Funding Disinformation In Africa by ShoeGetSize(op): 1:01pm On Aug 05, 2024
Although the Russian Federation has been waging a draining war against Ukraine for the third year, Russia has increased the organization of disinformation campaigns in Africa

Last year, an analysis by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (Mapping a Surge of Disinformation in Africa – Africa Center for Strategic Studies) identified a total of 80 Russia-funded disinformation campaigns conducted in 22 African countries. Nearly 40 percent of all disinformation campaigns identified in Africa were organized by Russia.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2408051722030104.jpg

Daniel Schaer, Estonia’s ambassador to Kenya and South Africa, categorizes disinformation campaigns based on his experience: “Campaigns that oppose all of the West to Africa, attacking Europe’s colonial history, and disinformation campaigns targeted at specific countries, such as anti-‘neo-colonialism’ campaigns conducted in South Africa.”

In Africa, there is a strong correlation between the spread of disinformation and societal instability. Disinformation campaigns have caused deadly violence, facilitated and justified military coups, intimidated civil society leaders, and provided cover for corruption and the exploitation of people.

Disinformation is being deliberately exploited at a time when, over the past seven years, 300 million Africans have become social media users. On a continent with 1.4 billion inhabitants, there are now over 400 million active social media users and 600 million internet users. Moreover, Africans rely on social media platforms for information more than people from other continents.

“Disinformation is increasingly targeting specific countries; of the 39 countries analyzed, 20 were attacked from abroad by at least three or more campaigns,” the analysis states.

Disinformation attacks are primarily targeted at countries already struggling with conflicts, further weakening them: “The vulnerability of African countries to foreign influences is evidenced by the fact that approximately 60 percent of the continent’s disinformation campaigns are funded by foreign countries – the ‘market leaders’ being Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.”

Russia remains the primary spreader of disinformation in Africa, funding 80 documented campaigns in 22 countries. This accounts for nearly 40 percent of all disinformation campaigns in Africa, reaching millions of users through tens of thousands of coordinated bots and posts.

Ambassador Daniel Schaer provides an example of the personal presence of Russian information war leaders in Africa: “When we were with a business delegation in Namibia, the director-general of TASS, who was on a visit, stayed at the same hotel.”

The aggressive spread of disinformation increases Russia’s influence in Africa. “Russia and China are the leading funders of extensive disinformation campaigns to advance their geostrategic interests and shape narratives that undermine democratic processes, promote coups in Africa, and incite anti-Western and anti-UN sentiments. Additionally, they spread confusion about climate change,” says the analysis by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies.

The impact of this activity is demonstrated by the fact that just two well-known African disinformation spreaders associated with Russia have over 28 million followers on social media. The content of these channels is further amplified by a complex ecosystem of hundreds of Russia-linked accounts and websites. In these systems, disinformation narratives disseminated by Russian state media are repeated and magnified. Russian embassies appear to have helped create a network of seemingly grassroots economic and trade cooperation organizations (Partenariat Alternatif Russie-Afrique pour le Développement Économique and Groupe Panafricain pour le Commerce et l’Investissement) to amplify disinformation.

Previously, the primary Kremlin tool for spreading disinformation in Africa was the Wagner Group, which was directly involved in half of all Russia-related campaigns on the continent. After the death of Wagner’s founder Yevgeny Prigozhin last summer, Russia’s disinformation operations have been consolidated into the newly established Russian Africa Corps and the Africa Initiative News Agency, which are linked to Russian intelligence services and led by Artem Kureyev in Moscow.

Russia has been the main disseminator of disinformation in countries like South Africa, where their narratives have incited conflict between different communities and supported the African National Congress. Additionally, Russia has used influential South Africans to spread pro-Kremlin narratives both within South Africa and abroad.

Last December, Ambassador Daniel Schaer presented his credentials to Kenyan President William Ruto. The Kenyan government is dissatisfied with the activities of the Chinese-owned TikTok in their country and plans to ban its use by government officials.

The Chinese Communist Party, through the United Front Work Department and China Media Group, is the second-largest funder of continent-wide disinformation campaigns in Africa. Last year, China conducted five regional (multi-country) disinformation campaigns, two of which supported Russian narratives.

The Chinese Communist Party’s approach is more institutionalized, with significant investments in owning IT infrastructure in Africa and influencing African media channels through cooperation agreements.

Recently, the Chinese state-controlled TikTok platform announced a campaign to enhance online safety across the African continent. This campaign will be conducted in collaboration with women’s and youth organizations of the African Union.

In reality, TikTok’s goal is to increase its market share in Africa and covertly spread Chinese narratives. The campaign launches at a time when the governments of Senegal and Somalia have banned TikTok use by state employees to prevent information leaks, and the Kenyan government plans to do the same.

Kenya’s Interior Ministry Secretary, Kithure Kindiki, stated in parliament that criminals have used TikTok to spread hostile propaganda and conduct various scams.

Ambassador Daniel Schaer emphasizes that it is also important for Estonia to counterbalance Russia and China’s disinformation campaigns. “The European Union and its member states, disparaged by Russia and China, are in fact Africa’s largest development cooperation partner, but many Africans are unaware of this,” Schaer explains. “The European Union is also South Africa’s largest trading partner, although many South Africans don’t know this. Unfortunately, it’s easy to tarnish reputations with disinformation, but much harder to convey ‘boring’ true facts.”

It is important for Estonia to explain its history to African countries. In Africa, it is not widely known that the Republic of Estonia was already independent in the early 20th century and suffered a long occupation by the Soviet Union while African countries were gaining independence from colonial rule.


“With the support of Russia’s information campaign, the military cooperation between Mali and France came to an end,” says Ilmar Raag.
“Around the same time vague reports surfaced in global media about the Mali government potentially hiring the Wagner private military company, noticeable changes occurred in Mali’s electronic media,” recalls Raag. “Previously, several online newspapers resembled genuine journalism, occasionally criticizing the government, but suddenly the criticism stopped.”

“Unexpectedly, newspapers began reporting on the successes of the Malian army in the fight against terrorism, although this was false. Since the key phrases used in various newspapers matched, it was evident that there was coordinated media planning.”

“As a secondary theme, the media began portraying Russia as a historical and reliable partner. This narrative was bolstered by a few relatively insignificant arms shipments from Russia to Mali. Wagner was never referred to as a private army or mercenaries, but always as potential support from the benevolent Russian state to Mali.”

“In continuation of the media campaign, a citizens’ group started organizing demonstrations in the capital, Bamako. These protests demanded government cooperation with Russia and the expulsion of the French. The information campaign culminated in a crisis in February 2022, ending military cooperation between Mali and France.”

Cases of racist attacks against Africans in Russia are vastly underreported

There is no concrete data on the number of black people living in Russia, says Yudina, but some estimates place the number at no more than 60,000 — a small figure compared to the country’s overall population of 143 million.

According to her, 13 racially motivated attacks against black people living in Russia were recorded between 2015 and 2020. But Yudina and activist Tesfaye said they are certain that such attacks in Russia are vastly underreported.

“They haven’t developed ways for protecting themselves collectively as a group, and so most racially motivated attacks against people of color throughout Russia go unnoticed,” Yudina told The Moscow Times.

The few cases that do receive media coverage often end in tragedy.

Nigerian Student explains how his Russian lecturer continually failed him because he was a black African

Silas Nsangwie, a Nigerian who used to study at a university in the southern city of Saratov, told The Moscow Times of an instance when he was harassed by a man at the supermarket during his first days in Russia in 2015.

“This guy just walked up to me and started shouting at me and calling me ‘monkey.’ He said that I should go back to my country,” Nsangwie recalled.

“It was very vulgar — like, it was really abusive. He was threatening to hit me, but he didn't.”

Nsangwie, who left Russia in 2020 to continue his studies back home in Nigeria, said it was not uncommon for him to receive racial slurs or strange looks on the bus during his student years.

He decided to leave Russia after one of his instructors in Saratov refused to let him pass a course that would have allowed him to graduate. He believed her reason was the color of his skin.

“I was warned by other students to not enroll in that program. I was told that that instructor in particular is racist and a problem for black students,” Nsangwie said.

“The only thing I could do was just work hard to pass her exams, but that still didn’t help … the dean tried to influence the situation, but she didn’t listen. And that was it.”
