Tinubu in shock, as Fashola dumps Lagos State Politics

Former Governor of Lagos State and Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Babatunde Fashola​, did not vote on Saturday during the Lagos’ Local Government election​s.​
Reporters and residents around Ward G3, Unit 002, State Senior Grammer School, Itolo, where he normally cast his vote, waited endlessly for the Senior Advocate of Nigeria​.

Fashola did not show up till voting and counting ended. His spokesman, Hakeem Bello, did not take phone calls put through Saturday evening.

Fashola also was not visible ahead of the election to mobilise his constituents to vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC, as was the case when he served as Lagos Governor.
The Minister has stayed away from Lagos politics and official gatherings since his tenure ended in 2015.

However, former Lagos Governor and national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, voted at his Polling Unit 047, Sunday Adigun Street, Alausa, Ikeja, while Governor Ambode voted at his polling unit in Epe.
Octogenarian and first Civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande​, also voted, defying the rain.

Fashola was conspicuously absent at the Lagos at 50 event organised by the Akinwunmi Ambode administration.
The celebration was attended by all former Lagos governors including Chief Bode George, a chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Edo university is not for the poor, its for the rich - vice chancellor

In a country where discrimination is the order of the day

The Management of Edo University located at Iyamho has professed that the institution was meant to cater for the academically-endowed students and the wealthy in the society.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Emmanuel Aluyor, made this known on Monday in an interview with Newsmen, in Iyamho-Uzairue, in the Estako-West local government area of Edo.

“The idea behind the establishment of Edo University by the founding fathers is neither to replace nor compete with the existing Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.

“But rather, to complement it in terms of providing world-class education with the best of infrastructure to academically-gifted students and the rich, who can afford the fees.

“People have questioned why former Gov. Adams Oshiomhole did not upgrade AAU, than establishing a new university altogether.

“Apart from its being capital-intensive to either renovate or bring in the needed infrastructure, the idea was to provide a different brand of education to the people.
“We are offering world-class infrastructure and state-of-the art facilities at EUI; that is why our fees are high. According to him, the fees range from between N400, 000 and N450, 000 a session.

“And that depends from which perspective you are looking at it.
“If it is from the perspective of a private university, our fees are very low indeed, because there is no private university that charges anything lower than what we offer.
“And only one or two public universities charge the same fees as us and that also depends on the quality of infrastructure and programmes on offer.

“The idea of the founding fathers is for anyone to have an ambiance of everything he desires abroad in any university environment here,’’ Aluyor said.

Wow the first time in history... A phone with a curved screen

It’s official, Samsung have released the world’s first smartphone with a curved screen. Although, there is no mention of when we can expect to see the see the GALAXY Round available in the USA, sources say it will be hitting the shelves in October 10 in Korea.

We have known for a while now that Samsung was developing a smartphone that would have a curved screen. However, while rumours were rife, certainties about the smartphone were hard to find. Nevertheless, we can now give you a more comprehensive view of what the first curved smartphone is all about.

Obviously, the real highlight and USP of the Samsung GALAXY Round its innovative and unique design. The 5.7 inch, 1920 x 1080 resolution screen has a slight concave curve like the rest of the handset. Samsung explains that this provides a superior user experience as the curved design makes the phone easier to hold and the curved display makes it easier to use the large the screen with one hand.

The curved design also allows for a number of new features such as the Roll Effect. By rolling the phone to the side while it is on a flat surface, the user is able to check the time, battery and see if they have any new messages. Similarly, the Bounce UX feature allows you to change the music you’re listening to by rolling the uneven phone to the left or the right, depending whether you want to go back to the previous track or skip forward to the next one.

The phone has a faux-leather back panel, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and is currently available in ‘Luxury Brown’. However, it has been hinted that the device will be available in more colours soon.

The reasons you will want to buy the Samsung galaxy s8

Much like the vaunted iPhone 8, many of us are waiting to see what the new Samsung Galaxy S8 will offer once it is finally released.

Considering that this brand is seen as being the only currently viable rival to Apple, we should only expect that major improvements will be taking place. Let’s also not forget about the massive debacle involving S7 models which would explode on occasion. Samsung has much to prove, so their new variant has better live up to expectations. While we already know that it will debut on March 29 , what are some other reasonable predictions that we can make in advance of its release?

Enhanced AI Systems
Mobile phone artificial intelligence has been a game changer in recent years, so this first prediction was a long time coming. The Galaxy S8 will employ an AI system known as Bixby. This is much more than a voice assistant alone, for it is said that Bixby can perform other tasks such as identifying landmarks and even translate text through images alone. It will initially be available in English and Korean although it is certain that other languages will follow. Bixby will also be further integrated into other Samsung systems into the future.

Better Safe Than Sorry?
Samsung received a massive amount of bad press when the S7 ran into overheating problems. So, it appears as if the company executives will institute a three-month return policy in event that any issues plague the S8. When we consider that the industry average is approximately two weeks, this is indeed generous. Or, perhaps they have not yet found the root cause of the problem?

Better Camera
It is though that the S8 camera will be able to capture videos associated with up to 1000 fps. This will be excellent for slow motion shots and should such a rumor prove true, the camera will be light years ahead of its rivals (the 7S camera has speeds of 120 fps). It is also thought that there will be two front-facing camera apertures; one for selfies and another for iris scans. This is similar to both the iPhone 7 and the Huawei P9.

Outer Design
We should not expect a drastic departure in terms of ergonomics, as consumers were generally happy in regards to the overall feel of the phone. A slight increase in weight may be in the works; particularly if two cameras are incorporated. However, the major change-up may be in the choice of case colors. Recent reports hint that three of these tones are dubbed Arctic Silver, Orchid Grey and Black Sky. Gold and blue are likely to make a return as well.

Screen Size
Bigger may be better in terms of display sizes, for analysts believe that there will be two different choices. The standard S8 may offer a 5.8-inch scree and the S8 Edge could boost these dimensions up to 6.2 inches. However, we have to wonder how such increases will affect the physical footprint of the phones themselves. A reduced bezel to accommodate for larger sizes may cause the home button to be included as a virtual icon or potentially even moved to the rear of the device. It appears as if we will have to wait until March 29 to learn more.

Other metrics such as processing power and battery life are still in their speculative stages, so we have only mentioned variables here which seem to me more fact than fiction. As the release of the Galaxy S8 is just around the corner, the wait will soon be over. Can Samsung overcome the bad publicity from its previous model? The answer to this question is not far off.

Barcelona star Neymar agrees terms with Paris Saint-Germain - source

Barcelona forward Neymar has now told Paris Saint-Germain he wants to move to the Parc des Princes and agreed terms on a contract, a source close to the French club has told ESPN FC.

His decision means PSG can now push forward with their plans to trigger the Brazil international's €222 million buyout clause.

The source said Neymar and his father, who has been in discussions with PSG's ambitious Qatari owners and sporting director Antero Henrique for the past few days, have agreed to a massive contract at least four years in length.

If the 25-year-old ends up in Paris, he will be earning approximately €30m a year after taxes and will also be handed an astronomic signing on fee in excess of his net annual sum.

On top of those earnings and significant bonuses, the source indicated Neymar and his father will also profit from a number of club owners Oryx Qatar Sports Investments' other commercial ventures in Paris and away from the world of football.

According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Barca's No. 11 -- who is currently in the United States with Ernesto Valverde's men for preseason -- has already told some of his current teammates that he is leaving for PSG.

The ESPN FC source indicated that the biggest remaining question is no longer whether or not Neymar is willing to swap Camp Nou for Parc des Princes but how the capital outfit finance what would be a world-record fee.

PSG's transfer budget at the start of the summer was €220m, all within the framework of UEFA's financial fair play (FFP) rules.

However, after the signings of Dani Alves and Yuri Berchiche, the French club's ability to finance Neymar's proposed salary has been questioned.

Although the sale of Jean-Kevin Augustin effectively cancelled out the signatures of Alves and Berchiche in terms of transfer fees -- €13m spent and then recouped -- players including Serge Aurier, Hatem Ben Arfa, Grzegorz Krychowiak need to be moved on to create sufficient space on the wage bill.

According to the source, a number of methods to complete the Neymar deal are being considered, with almost all of them concerning third parties -- notably player and club sponsors Nike. The club know that when they make their move, they must meet the player's release clause.

If successful, though, PSG's summer business would not end there. Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez remains a target, while the defence could be boosted by Estudiantes' Juan Foyth, and Henrique is still very keen on luring Monaco's Fabinho to Paris to restructure the midfield.

Music World Mourns as Popular Lead Singer of Linkin Park, Commits Suicide by Hanging

Chester Bennington, the Linkin Park lead singer, whose screeching vocals helped the rock-rap band become one of the most commercially successful acts in the 2000s, was found dead in his home near Los Angeles on Thursday. He was 41.

Los Angeles Coroner spokesman, Brian Elias said authorities were investigating Bennington’s death, which was first broken by the website TMZ, as an apparent suicide at Palos Verdes Estates, but no additional details were available.

His death was reportedly caused by hanging, according to TMZ.

Band co-founder and producer, Mike Shinoda said on Twitter he was “shocked and saddened.”

Dave Farrell, the bassist, simply tweeted:“Heartbroken”. 

“Chester Bennington was an artist of extraordinary talent and charisma, and a human being with a huge heart and a caring soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful family, his band-mates and his many friends,” Warner Bros. Records CEO and Chairman Cameron Stang said in a statement.

The Arizona-born singer was a close friend of Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, who tragically died, also by suicide, earlier this year.

He performed Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at Cornell’s funeral, and wrote a moving open letter to the music star after his death, describing how Cornell had “a pure and unrivalled talent” and “inspired me in many ways you could never have known”.

He was the godfather of Cornell’s 11-year-old son, Chris. Cornell’s 53rd birthday would have been Thursday.

“The Cornell family is overwhelmed by the heartbreaking news about Chester Bennington which tragically comes so soon after their family’s own loss,” said a Cornell family spokesperson.

“They open up their loving arms to Chester’s family and share in the sorrow with all those who loved him.”

“Just when I thought my heart couldn’t break any more,” Cornell’s wife Vicky tweeted on Thursday on hearing of Bennignton’s death.

Here are some of the photos he took before his death
