Wizkid and Tiwa Savage The singer was previously signed to the Don Jazzy-led Mavin Records before he went on to launch his own “Banks Music” record label in 2018 Reekado Banks was named “Rookie of the Year” at The Headies Award ceremony in 2014 and he went on to win the “Next Rated” award at The Headies in 2015 “Spotlight,” Reekado Banks’ 21-track debut album The project debuted at number 10 on the Billboard World Albums Chart at number ten making him one of the few African artists to achieve such a feat Input your search keywords and press Enter By Julieta ChiquilloDeputy editorial page editor Wednesday: Revised to include a statement from the Ozumba family A McKinney surgeon arrested last week on suspicion of sexually assaulting two female patients has been arrested again on four new sexual assault charges on Tuesday and booked him at the Collin County jail where his combined bail was set at $100,000 "These allegations are false," Ozumba family spokeswoman Lauren Bennett said in a prepared statement to KXAS-TV (NBC5) on Tuesday "We are confident that justice will be served and that Dr Ozumba faced two sexual assault charges connected to accusations that he groped and penetrated the genitals of two female patients he was treating — one last August and one in late March One of the patients told police that Ozumba had texted her after the assault to ask her what her favorite part of the procedure was Crime in The NewsRead the crime and public safety news your neighbors are talking about The four new charges stem from complaints three other people made this month, McKinney police said. One woman complained about a visit in July. She told police she went to see Ozumba for an injection and was asked to undress from the waist down and given a paper sheet to cover herself. After applying the injection on her outer leg, Ozumba told the woman that he needed to manipulate the leg to ensure the medicine had gone to the right area, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. The woman said Ozumba's fingers went over her genitals and that she felt like he was stroking her, according to the affidavit. She told police that the doctor asked her if she was happy or feeling good and that she asked him, "What did you say?" The doctor replied, "Oh, nothing," according to the affidavit. The woman told police that Ozumba called her while she was away on a mission trip. During a follow-up appointment, the woman brought a daughter and a friend because she felt uncomfortable, according to the affidavit. Ozumba seemed angry about the other visitors and didn't get close to the patient's genitals, the affidavit reads. A second woman, who went to Ozumba for knee pain, also complained about visits that took place last summer and alleged that she was asked to undress from the waist down. She told police Ozumba attributed her knee problems to her hips, gave her an injection and then used an ultrasound wand on the crease of her leg. The woman felt Ozumba's little finger touch her clitoris, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. "Ozumba advised [the patient] that he was wanting to check a little longer to make sure the injection was doing what it was supposed to do," the affidavit reads. The woman told police that she thought about getting a second opinion but that she assumed what happened "was process." During another visit for a hip injection, the woman decided to keep her underwear on, according to the affidavit. The doctor looked shocked and later moved her underwear to expose her genitals, the woman told police. The woman said Ozumba's finger had "consistent contact" with her genitals, according to the affidavit. A third woman complained about a January appointment. The patient told police that Ozumba said her knee pain was stemming from her hip issues and that he had administered injections in her inner thigh and in her right knee. The woman kept her spandex on during one injection appointment, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. She told police that while Ozumba massaged her leg, he kept hitting her genitals and that his hand hit her clitoris directly. During a follow-up visit, the woman brought her husband, according to the affidavit. She said she visited for a shot in one of her knees, but as she was leaving, a nurse told the woman that the doctor had time to give her an injection on her other knee. The woman told police she went to get the other shot from the pharmacy and told her husband he could go back to work. When she returned to the doctor's office, Ozumba looked angry and said, "you had to bring your husband for backup," according to the affidavit. The woman told police that Ozumba "jabbed" her with the needle and caused her to yell in pain as retaliation for bringing her husband. As he moved her leg back and forth, the doctor rubbed the woman's foot against his genitals, according to the affidavit. Ozumba is an orthopedic surgeon with an office in McKinney. Earlier this month, the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended his medical license "after determining his continuation in the practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare," according to a news release from the board. The board will look into the allegations before taking further action. Staff writer Tom Steele contributed to this report.

Reekado Banks, assisted by the prodigious P.Priime ticking all the boxes between a danceable jam and theme-packed lyrics Reekado Banks might just have cracked the code for himself and found a very rational equilibrium between “danceable” and “deep” but what exactly was he talking about on the smash hit And why are there so many possible interpretations to the things he said on the track this song is packed with references to road transportation whether by bike as the cover art of the song implies The references to the road and transportation are abundant in this song the quoted lyrics above can be translated to regular terms as “I’m not trying to slack and I have to be very alert and cautious in this place where everything moves fast” These lines are insightful enough to show that Reekado put a lot of thought into his lyricism on this track The lines that follow give more clarity on what Reekado is speaking on meaning that he is aware of how fast and demanding the city of Lagos can be reinforcing a common trope in the tale of the Nigerian come up.  It is not uncommon to hear about young men and women leaving their villages and hitting the road to get to Lagos – the bustling in search of better opportunities to make a decent living Ozumba Mbadiwe echoes the sentiments of the struggle that most people who move to Lagos for these reasons have to face another profound angle that the iconic song subtly depicts while distracting you with its head-bopping rhythm I’ve been silent… But they think say I’m in hiding Reekado Banks also uses this track to address his one-year hiatus from major music releases between 2020 and late 2021. In an interview with City FM Reekado stated that he worked on Ozumba Mbadiwe for a year before its eventual release he was asked why he chose the title “Ozumba Mbadiwe” Reekado Banks explained that it was a reply to a lot of people who had been asking for his whereabouts during the period where he wasn’t dropping any new music According to the award-winning singer-songwriter he had been “busy” just like the Ozumba Mbadiwe way tying in perfectly with the theme of road transportation if you think say you be giant; you be giant for your pocket This line sparked controversy online because many people spontaneously judged it to be a satirical jab at Burna Boy for publicly belittling him on Twitter a year before the song’s release It makes a lot of sense that that would be the case but the lyrics that follow seem to be pointing at a more pertinent problem than a Twitter feud and bruised egos The fact that Burna Boy goes by the nickname “African Giant” didn’t really help the case that the line wasn’t directly aimed at Burna Boy But the line that follows tells you all you need to know about Reekado’s intentions with that line He proceeds to boldly call out the Nigerian government for the infamous “October 20 something happen with the government… them think say we forget Nigeria’s history is deeply steeped in injustice and unfair treatment of its masses The use of music as a conduit to voice the displeasure and rebellion of the people against this federal brand of injustice used their music to lend their voice to the agitations against government-fueled injustice And in a long list of songs that voice the dissatisfaction of the people Reekado Banks makes a huge statement through Ozumba Mbadiwe At the end of the music video for the track we hear the shouts of the protesters that escaped the scene of the unfortunate Lekki tollgate massacre an unsettling reminder of the reality of government brutality against the people it was designed to protect It’s very clear that Reekado Banks was being intentional about paying respect to the Nigerians who died at the hands of armed forces …Cause na money I dey find (na money I dey find), E no easy for Lagos and despite its rather plentiful layering of themes and meanings it manages to show the kind of intentional lyricism and theme setting that many have complained that Afrobeats music was deprived of for a long time the abundance of themes might also be a point of criticism for the song because it could seem to be doing too much for one song barely four months after the track dropped Reekado Banks enlisted the assistance of Fireboy DML The remix is currently charting in more than fifty countries but was received with mixed emotions on social media because a lot of people felt like it conveyed a completely different theme from everything the original track was trying to say.  and how important his money is to him in the tough city of Lagos somehow tying it to the actual Ozumba Mbadiwe location somehow It seemed like a rather sharp deviation from a song with a primary theme of speaking out against injustice for many people It could be assumed that Fireboy bringing the theme of hustle and payment borrows from the theme of “not coming to Lagos for child’s play” Could that have been the rationale behind Fireboy’s verse What are your thoughts on this culture-halting hit song ما به شما کمک می‌کنیم تا بتوانید مقاله ISI تهیه و به نام خودتان در مجلات معتبر به چاپ برسانید The 2020s have been a fascinating year to live on the internet Clearly Invincible introduced the African Fashion Weeks Calendar; a curated While they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Grammy nominated Afrobeats singer-songwriter Lojay joins forces with two-time MOBO Award winner Odeal for their first-ever There comes a point in every artist’s journey where the pursuit of making meaningful art takes Internet Company Reaching Young & Smart Africans from Lagos Nigeria © 2018 - Property of More Labs Digital Mexico City residents often forget that they live nearly on the doorstep of one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes The city’s infamous smog rarely allows even a glimpse But Popocatépetl has dominated the geography and its recent activity makes experts and the government nervous Popocatépetl is both exceedingly majestic and dangerous Its name comes from Nahuatl and means “smoking mountain.”  The Florentine Codex notes that even decades after the imposition of Catholicism on the native peoples in the area pilgrimages to both petition and appease the volcano continued the volcano is often called simply “(El) Popo” and “Don Goyo.” The first is a shortening of the difficult Nahuatl is probably from an early colonial renaming of the mountain it comes from the appearance of an old man near the town of Santiago Xalitzintla who introduced himself as Gregorio Chino Popocatépetl and is believed to be the spirit of the mountain the volcano continues to receive offerings and pilgrimages today just now in the guise of Saint Gregory’s feast day Popocatépetl appears in numerous artworks from the region and is featured in the English-language novel “Under the Volcano” (1947) by Malcolm Lawry If you have seen the image of an Aztec warrior carrying a limp maiden it is a reference to a “Romeo and Juliet”-like story that explains why Popo is active and its “partner” volcano Most modern humans generally dismiss the supernatural but I’ll mention here that Popocatépetl’s crater is the focus of stories of UFOs that may have a base within Don Goyo may no longer command worship — but it still should be respected but none have such a population density living so nearby Popocatépetl is an active stratovolcano — like Hawaii’s Mauna Loa and Indonesia’s Krakatoa — and it’s the second tallest active volcano in North America (5,425 meters) It and Iztaccihuatl separate the Valleys of Mexico and Puebla archeological finds and written records evidence the volcano’s impact on them (us) An eruption is believed to have spurred migrations that resulted in Teotihuacán Eruptions have been recorded as early as the 1300s Hernán Cortés was impressed by the two volcanoes describing them as  “…two marvelously high mountains whose summits at the end of August are still covered with snow so that nothing else can be seen of them a great volume of smoke often comes forth…”  Popocatépetl has had 15 significant eruptions but none (yet) have had major destructive consequences One reason is that its last plinian eruption (i.e extremely explosive — think Mount Vesuvius in A.D when the valleys did not have the population density they have now The area around the Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes is the Izta-Popo National Park but unlike parks in the United States and Canada a column of smoke from El Popo has been visible on most days There is always the risk of a major eruption Hugo Delgado Granados of the Geophysics Institute of UNAM Such an eruption could obliterate everything within 15 km and cause serious damage as far as 100 km away — a radius that’s home to about 25 million And urbanization is creeping up the slopes as Mexico City and Puebla continue to grow there is a 12-km exclusion zone around the crater because of fallout Popocatépetl has caused some headaches for airlines but more ash accumulation could snarl land traffic as well — and if rain is involved the resulting sludge would clog drainage systems Lava from Popocatépetl’s crater is not a major threat There is plenty of magma under the valleys but their danger comes from small “pop-up” volcanoes (like Paricutín in Western Michoacán) Volcanoes like Popocatépetl can give some warning of an upcoming eruption warning systems and evacuation plans are essential to prevent tragedies Mexico’s main warning system is a stoplight-like advisory system called the semáforo de alerta volcánica which currently is in yellow (caution) — Phase 2 the general advisory has been as high as yellow-3 (the status just before red) Today, it is possible to see what Popocatépetl is up to 24/7. Popocatépetl’s crater is a favorite of Webcams de México where you can look at it anytime and receive alerts in social media when something interesting happens Although evacuation routes are well-marked a major evacuation would be challenging at best both because of the number of people and due to the fact that the Valley of Mexico is crowded Could Mexico evacuate everyone in time in the worst-case scenario Delgado Granados says that there are many factors to consider but also that monitoring systems and evacuation plans are being constantly upgraded Mexico was able to evacuate 70,000 people in less than three days despite being caught relatively by surprise Leigh Thelmadatter arrived in Mexico over 20 years ago and fell in love with the land and the culture in particular its handcrafts and art.

For where, for Ozumba Mbadiwe” — read the lyrics from the second verse of Nigerian artist Reekado Banks’ new single ‘Ozumba Mbadiwe’  – named after a Nigerian politician and a road on Lagos Island that leads to Lekki Toll Gate As we remember October 20th — a year later — Banks’ single briefly commemorates the events of the End SARS protests that occurred at the Lekki Toll Gate as well as honours the lives that were lost during that time armed members of the Nigerian Army arrived at the demonstration site and opened fire on peaceful and unarmed protesters The Lagos State administration later announced that the shooting left up to 25 people injured and End SARS is a social movement in Nigeria that consists of a series of widespread rallies against police brutality The slogan demands that the Special Anti-Robbery Squad — SARS — a notorious Nigerian police organisation with a lengthy history of abuses began in 2017 using the hashtag #EndSARS and demanding that the Nigerian government dismantle the unit following fresh reports of the unit’s abuses enormous rallies took place across Nigeria’s major cities accompanied by a barrage of social media indignation It’s not difficult to imagine that 27 year old Banks has been deeply affected by End SARS as well as the violence that has ensued thereafter Grounded in afrobeats and the sultry rhythms that Nigeria is synonymous with Banks is careful not to boast or centre himself in ‘Ozumba Mbadiwe’ but rather let the glimpse of imagery and words make his intentions known The irony in using art to speak about social issues is that artists often tend to continue a cycle of harm by regurgitating media sentiments and violence faced by protestors or victims intentionally or unintentionally forcing their audiences to ‘relive’ those moments and go through second hand trauma this reinforces the idea that systemic issues are incidental by the lack of critical thought applied overall within the image sharing it helps not to completely avoid exposing the violence that comes with some of our lived experiences — our lives are brutal — however sensitivity will always go a long way in representation and the external portrayals of stories although we amass power and control in different ways the understanding of those dynamics and our positions should encourage caution in our minds rather than risk taking or “making statements” at the expense of our communities Reforming Nigeria’s police force would need a lot more time and work than what has been seen in the last year police brutality is a global phenomenon in itself Drawing from my experience as a South African I can imagine that it would take decades to relieve our armed forces of the idea that citizens inherently need to be controlled and that violence is the only and most effective way to do so I take this moment to draw on the parallels that our majority black countries find themselves revolving around – the notion that colonisation did not only inflict violence but it also taught it I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t give a damn about sports I didn’t watch the match this past weekend and in fact even going as far as skipping the Vogue Nights event I had been so looking forward to once I heard they’d be..

Geosciences in Africa, scheduled to take place at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, southwestern Nigeria, in May 2016. The event, which will hold on May 31, 2016, will feature papers on The Mother Rock: Developments in Basement Geology (2) Innovations in Petroleum Exploration and Exploitation (3) Aviable policy framework for solid minerals exploration and exploitation and (4) Strategy for a sustainable, robust geoscience manpower development. These presentations will be part of a book, for which a First call for contributions of research and technical papers has been made. Three petroleum related organisations are involved in one way or another in the activities. They include the Petroleum Training Development Fund (PTDF), the Nigerian Mining and Geoscience Society(NMGS) and the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE). The  book is proposed to cover ALL aspects of Nigerian geology, including the basement (Igneous and metamorphic) and their economic potentials including solid minerals, as well as the stratigraphy, sedimentology and petroleum systems of Nigeria’s sedimentary basins and petroleum and potentials. It is expected to highlight concepts and research output in hydrogeology, applied geophysics and geochemistry as they apply to the improved understanding of the geology of Nigeria. Omar Morufu Rahaman is a widely quoted expert on the Precambrian (the earliest rock unit) geology of Africa and has served in the academia, mainly at the Obafemi Awolowo University for over 40 years, but perhaps his most distinguishing trait is the training of geoscientists. Professor Rahaman’s main ambition is to produce high quality geoscience graduates that can be employed anywhere in the world. For nine years he was the coordinator of the aptitude examination used by the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) to select beneficiaries of the Funds Overseas Scholarship Scheme for the skills acquisition at the Master’s level in selected Universities in Britain. For the unique anniversary of the day of his birth, the planned activities include “The proposed book will be a follow up to the publication of May 2006 published to mark Professor Rahaman’s 60th birthday anniversary”, notes Kehinde Olafiranye, who is the secretary of the committee and anchor person driving the project. Industry professionals, academics and students are invited to submit  full length papers that relate to any of the themes: (1) The Mother Rock: Developments in Basement Geology (2) Innovations in petroleum Exploration and Exploitation (3) A viable policy framework for Solid minerals exploration and exploitation in Nigeria (4) Strategy for a sustainable, robust geoscience manpower development.
