The skilled artist now shares a new Afropop banger called “Fe Mi”, which translated from Yoruba to English means “Love Me”. In addition, this song is part of the artist’s most recent EP “For The Fourth”, that has taken the artist to new heights as he has presented it live in his recent Canadian tour. If one could explain this song in one sentence, it essentially reflects the need to reconnect with African roots and culture. As ADEOLUWA puts it: “I wanted to create a song that resonated with the timeless rhythms and melodies of classic Afrobeats, a nod to the pioneers who laid the foundation. It’s a love letter to the sounds that shaped my musical identity”. A hopeful but nostalgic melody set the start of this track, which aims to capture love in its purest form through the lyrics in the chorus, sang in Yoruba: For ADEOLUWA, creating “Fe Mi” was not only an inner journey into his heart, mind and emotions, but also a reflection of what Afrobeats means to him: “It’s more than a genre; it’s a cultural heartbeat.” Yoruba is one of the three main languages of West Africa, specifically Nigeria. In the present day, there are approximately 50 million people in the world who speak it, making it one of the most widely spoken African languages outside of the continent. Crafting some of the song’s lyrics in one of his native languages definitely reinforces the cultural element. Like a painting, each element of the song – the piano, synths, afro drums and vocals – add an organic and genuine feel to it, staying true to the genre’s essence. As the track evolves second by second, the key changes and the chorus voices towards the end of the song create diverse sound dimensions, giving it a Gospel feel. As an up-and-coming Afropop star, ADEOLUWA’s career continues to grow unceasingly. Some of the top milestones of his music journey include earning five nominations from the SaskMusic Awards, as well as attracting the attention of media outlets like CBC, Pulse Music Journal, Range Magazine and The Native Mag, among others. Digital music platforms have also recognized the artist’s talent, featuring him in official Spotify editorial playlists. There is something truly magical and captivating about his project, where the blend of lyrics, melody and atmosphere generate a good-vibe romantic mood in those who listen. Not to mention, it is a tribute to African culture, as the artist states: “I wanted ‘Fe Mi’ to feel timeless, like a song that could have been played decades ago but still feels relevant today. It’s about capturing that enduring quality of true Afrobeats.” “Fe Mi”, and the full EP “For The Fourth”, are now available on all streaming services.

Milove, Ukraine – A smartly-dressed young man walks down a footbridge over a village high street clutching a black laptop bag. Just several steps earlier, above the ground, Maxym Brus – a 20-year-old Ukrainian student – was in a different country, Russia The soft-spoken mechanical engineering student struggles to explain the paradox of his village Milove is a good visualisation of Ukraine’s current situation. Just like Ukraine it is torn into two pieces by the weight of its historical past Following years of animosity between Moscow and Kiev Russia – Ukraine’s historical master – erected a border fence along Milove’s high street that ironically still carries its Soviet name: Friendship of Nations Road Ukraine and Russia were part of the same country There were no borders between the Soviet states and the administrative-dividing line that Milove sat on did not matter at the time Milove residents continued their intertwined borderless lives But the situation changed drastically because of the conflict that erupted between Kiev and Moscow following the removal of Ukraine’s Russia-backed leader Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and backed armed separatists in the country’s southeastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk The ongoing conflict has killed more than 13,000 people Russia’s move in Milove split families and friends people started to close up shops and move away,” Brus tells Al Jazeera “We used to go over there [on the Russian side] to the shops who is studying in Russia at the Road Institute of Shakhty a branch of the South-Russian State Polytechnic University just like each Milove resident Al Jazeera spoke “Nobody [on the Russian side] knows why this [the fence] came If the Russian public had a vote on the fence they would have rejected the project,” he says a vendor that sells various knick-knacks at a street market in Milove misses the time when both sides of the borderline used to enjoy festivities together There were concerts and musicians used to come from all over We used to have joint festivities in October Nobody cared you were Russian or not,” she says “We [Ukrainians with Milove residency] are so far being allowed to cross over But our friends and family from the Russian side need a travel passport and an invitation to visit.” She says the village people find it hard to afford a passport “Each visit must be marked in the passport Soon you run out of them and you need a new one Is it normal to need an invitation to visit a sister?” a street vendor selling animal feed just across the fence does not shy away from blaming Kiev for Milove’s woes According to him, the village is paying the price for Ukraine’s aspiration to forge closer ties with the European Union and the rejection of Russia damn it,” he says angrily and starts to pace around in the muddy path that is supposed to be pavement there is no perspective for improvement and probably there will be none with our president Maybe if they choose a different one [president] Ukraine’s presidential elections are scheduled for March 31 with a record number of candidates vying to become the war-torn country’s sixth president President Petro Poroshenko is trailing in third behind opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and the frontrunner Political novice Zelensky’s stronghold is Ukraine’s Russian-speaking areas such as Milove Many residents of Milove are wary of naming the candidate they intend to vote for but all of those who choose to share the information with Al Jazeera support Zelensky who works in a campaign booth for Poroshenko distributing election material every day says he will not vote for the current president Does it seem like something was done for the town over the last five years?” he says says: “I am not sure who to vote for but I will for sure not give my support to Poroshenko who might have to commute back from Russia especially to cast his ballot on Sunday says he will also risk giving power to the inexperienced candidate rather than support the top two corruption-tainted political heavyweights “It’s my first time so I guess I will go and vote since I don’t even want to think about Poroshenko Follow Al Jazeera’s Tamila

about two weeks ago and once we got in the air if anything went wrong he would take over," said Owen Owen is a participant in the Aerospace Academy at Bonita Springs High The four-year program teaches students the basics about aviation and gives them a chance to get a private pilot's license. Owen is trying to earn his license "You know it's better than getting your driver's license right?" said Todd Callahan,Bonita Springs High's aerospace teacher The students in the program also can try to get a drone pilot certificate Callahan said Bonita Springs High is offering the program in an effort to get students interested careers in the aerospace industry He said the industry has a high demand for workers ranging from pilots to air traffic controllers The students also get the opportunity to get pilot training at airfields It can cost $6,000 to $8,000 to get a private pilot's license, Callahan said He said the aerospace club fundraises to help students interested in getting the license Owen said one of the reasons he decided to enroll in the aerospace program is because it may help him decide which of his career goals to pursue.  "I have two jobs I want to do in the future Lee County schools: Students learn to power mini go-karts, use 3D printers Bonita Springs High sophomore Hannah Avinon said she is participating in the program for the same reason — to be a commercial pilot "So when I was younger I wanted to be a pilot but I never knew it was achievable because I never saw any programs like this," she said But becoming a commercial pilot is not the goal of all the students in the academy "I just want to get my private pilot license and be able to fly when I want to and be able to buy a plane and take my family flying and friends," sophomore Andrew Noel The program involves classroom time and hands-on experience Its students can earn college credits The first year of the program is an introduction into aerospace The second year is learning the principles of aviation Students will go through private pilot ground training the following year. The fourth year of the program still is being developed FGCU: Researchers study everything from golf swings to cancer treatments Fourteen students took part in one of the program's classes Thursday answering questions from Callahan about flying When they finished answering the questions the students went to an adjacent room where they sat at flight simulators that included large slightly curved computer screens "These simulators help us prepare a lot," Owen said "It's basically just like the real thing." Flying a droneThe last part of the class was spent with most of the students flying microdrones They practiced everything from taking off and landing to rotating left and right said flying the drones can help the students prepare for flying a plane "A lot of the aerodynamics are the same and general concepts but how you control the movement is different," he said Lee County schools: Teachers ditching desks for yoga balls, wobble stools Hannah flew a drone that was much larger than the ones her classmates used the drone's four sets of propellers started to spin "It's kind of just like driving the little remote-control cars," Hannah said Ukraine (AP) — Valentina Boldyreva stepped out of her two-story house on an overcast and snowy Sunday afternoon to say hello to her 76-year-old sister who lives on the other side of Friendship of People's Street "You see my sister is walking up to the wire," Boldyreva said "How are we going to talk to each other?" "I'm not allowed to come close," her sister said as she stood just 100 meters (yards) away on the other side of the fence "Our windows are facing the barbed wire day and night as if looking out at a prison," Boldyreva said It's a border fence built by Russia earlier this year marking what was once an invisible border in a symbolic shutdown of nearly all ties between the two neighboring nations It's a slogan that still rings true for many residents but it is being sorely tested by the animosity between their two nations almost every resident of Chertkovo and Milove has close relatives on the other side People speak both Russian and Ukrainian without turning the choice of language into a political statement as many have elsewhere one of many thorny issues fueling the conflict between Ukraine and Russia since Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in March 2014 residents would routinely cross the street — back and forth between countries — as border guards looked the other way Russian border guards on one side and Ukrainian ones on the other patrol in twos or threes along the nearly deserted street Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced that all Russian men aged 16 to 60 were barred from entering the country It was the latest sign of the steadily deteriorating relations between the two uneasy neighbors after the Russian coast guard fired upon and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels in the Black Sea last weekend Kiev announced 30 days of martial law in the country's border regions to bolster Ukraine's defenses against Russian aggression restrictions on Russians entering Ukraine had already effectively existed in Chertkovo for years Ukraine adopted a decree requiring Russians who want to cross the border to use foreign travel passports Few Russians living in rural areas like Chertkovo have such documents Four and a half years after fighting broke out between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian troops in eastern Ukraine only elderly women like 73-year-old Lidia Radchenko — smiling in a bulky fur coat — brave the crossing while another son and a daughter reside in Russia We would gather in the middle of the road," Rachenko said wistfully "That fence is like a concentration camp." Even passing a jar of pickles to relatives across the barbed wire fence separating the two sides is a punishable offense Most of the Russians who spoke to The Associated Press said they stopped crossing into Ukraine soon after the 2014 war broke out as reports spread of their countrymen running into trouble on the other side of the border Sitting in his hardware store in Chertkovo 59-year-old Alexander Petukhov said he was spooked by the reports of people who were either turned back or deported after crossing He has since cut his business ties with his main supplier in Kharkiv "We were used to living as free people," he said "It all stopped when the fighting began." where the line of cars would stretch for a mile before the war The no man's land between the Russian and the Ukrainian border posts still bears the Soviet-era slogan: "Let the eternal friendship between the Russian and the Ukrainian nations last for centuries!" the Ukrainian side of Friendship of Peoples Street was filled with vendors selling everything from eggs to fur coats their wares laid out on plastic folding tables Once a bustling meeting place for residents of both sides the market now only serves Ukrainian shoppers because Russians are either banned or reluctant to come Many wistfully recalled a time when people from both sides mixed freely "Chertkovo and Milove — I only found out in the seventh grade that these were the Russia and the Ukrainian Soviet republics," said Serhiy Harbuz shopping for milk and chicken in the market a Russian border guard could be seen patrolling along the barbed-wire fence less than 100 meters (yards) away The once-bustling crossing between Milove and Chertkovo was nearly empty with just a few people walking from Ukraine into Russia among them 54-year-old Olga Yevgenyevna and her husband When she married a man from a village on the Ukrainian side of the border moving there in the late 1980s did not seem like a dramatic decision Now her elderly mother and brother live in Russia and can't visit her no one will come to bury me because Russians are not allowed," she said Associated Press writer Matthew Bodner in Moscow contributed to

to say the least has been bottling her pain for over three years because she has never received the prize that motivated her to enter the pageant in the first place The winner of the pageant was promised they would walk away with a scholarship “I always had plans to further my studies and I heard about the pageant and figured that this was my chance to get my studies paid for and to get a laptop to facilitate my tertiary education,” she told Observer the show was organised by local politician and businessman Colin James but it’s now in the hands of new management While the current organisers have apologised to Fontaine for her three years-plus ordeal they made it clear that they will not be able to take on past responsibilities “Because I knew I had the scholarship to receive I enrolled at UWI Five Islands It has always been my dream to become a nurse “I told him I got in and he said I should send him the invoice and he would go to UWI and settle She said the last excuse that she received from James was that he would arrange payments by salary deductions instead “I have been going to the office every day ever since – and nothing he said he couldn’t get in contact with the people at UWI,” Fontaine said The 31-year-old is currently studying Human Resources at UWI Five Islands but it has always been her dream to study nursing She is currently working at a fast-food franchise in order to pay her tuition at UWI She has not yet been able to save enough to purchase a laptop and relies on her cousin’s barely functioning device to get through her assignments “I don’t
