Grammy-nominated rapper Olamide assured fans they have more to look forward to after thrilling them with a freestyle that takes listeners back in time. The multiple award-winning rapper stated his intention to release the second part of his EP 'Ikigai' in a post on his X account. When a fan complained that his new freestyle song "Idan Buruku" was too short, Olamide responded.

Ikigai volume two is almost coming, so you'll have to wait," Olamide said. Olamide's 'Ikigai', which means "a reason to live" in Japanese, had a successful first installment. The project included the Asake & Fireboy songs "Metaverse," "Habibi," and "Uptown Disco." Olamide's tenth solo project, the EP, reflects his ongoing development and ability to stay abreast of cultural trends.

The much-awaited Lagos-Abuja Super Highway/High-Speed Train Project is scheduled to be inaugurated by the Federal Government in February 2025. The government's goal of improving connection and mobility throughout the nation is in line with this ambitious project, which intends to greatly strengthen Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. AEC-Geofocus, the consortium in charge of the project, said Mr. Mutiu Yinka Idris, Director of Operations, said the Lagos-Abuja Super Highway/High-Speed Train Project is expected to cost about $16 billion. During a media appearance in Ibadan, Idris disclosed this information, giving insight into the size and breadth of this historic infrastructure project.

According to him, the ambitious project will connect the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, and Niger over a distance of 500 kilometers. "The project will use a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) model," he explained. With plans set in stone to begin by February of this year, 2024, the $16 billion project will be led by AEC-Geofocus, a team of engineers, planners, and investors. With primary stations in Lagos and Abuja and eleven intermediate stops, the high-speed train project will have a dual-gauge rail route that can travel up to 250 km/h. With this breakthrough, the trip from Lagos to Abuja should take less than three hours by rail and less than five hours.

 Eight lanes, two service lanes, and thirteen tolling stations will make up the roadway. Ten smart cities, one million dwelling units, and an independent power plant are all included in the project's scope. According to Idris, the project is a ground-breaking endeavor that supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's endeavors to improve Nigeria's transportation system. By raising living standards through strategic efforts under President Tinubu's administration, Idris claims the project will greatly increase citizens' economic prosperity. Tinubu's vision includes a variety of ideas that are intended to improve Nigeria and provide its people with a better future.

Four of the five richest men in the world were among the prominent billionaires who attended President Donald Trump's inauguration Monday morning, with a combined net worth of $1.2 trillion. Many of them were hoping to deepen their relationship with the pro-business president as he assumed office.

The three richest people in the world attended several inauguration morning events: Elon Musk ($433.9 billion), the CEO of Tesla, Mark Zuckerberg ($211.8 billion), and Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon (worth $239.4 billion, according to Forbes), who spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help Trump win the November election. Along with billionaire donor Miriam Adelson ($31.9 billion) and former Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch ($22.2 billion), OpenAI CEO Sam Altman ($1.1 billion) and Apple CEO Tim Cook ($2.2 billion), who contributed to the inauguration, were in the Capitol Rotunda Monday morning.

The richest person in France and the leader of the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton luxury company, Bernard Arnault ($179.6 billion), attended the inauguration with his son, Alexandre. The richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani ($98.1 billion), was said to have attended inauguration ceremonies. Trump's pal Phil Ruffin, a $4.7 billion casino mogul from Las Vegas, was also seen at the Capitol.

Vivek Ramaswamy ($1 billion) and Howard Lutnick ($1.5 billion), two billionaires and their spouses who attended the inauguration, have been offered prominent positions in the Trump administration. According to Bloomberg, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong ($12.8 billion) had not yet been spotted at the swearing-in but was invited to inauguration-related parties.

Several billionaires, including Stephen Feinberg ($5 billion), Warren Stephens ($3.4 billion), Jared Isaacman ($1.9 billion), Steve Witkoff ($1 billion), Linda McMahon (wife of $3 billion Vince McMahon), and Kelly Loeffler (wife of Jeff Sprecher, worth $1.1 billion), have also received offers of positions in the administration, though their attendance was not confirmed. Together with Adelson, Tilman Fertitta ($10.2 billion), and Todd Ricketts—whose father, J. Joe Ricketts, and family are estimated to be worth $4.2 billion—Zuckerberg co-hosted a pre-inaugural Ball reception for Trump.

Others either stayed out of the presidential contest or were Trump opponents before they attempted reconciliation, while some did back Trump's campaign. Before he fell in line after the election results, Trump allegedly vowed to put Zuckerberg in jail and had been banned from Instagram and Facebook by Zuckerberg's Meta. Since then, Zuckerberg has met with Trump at Mar-A-Lago, paid $1 million to his inauguration fund, changed the way its platforms verify content, and appointed Trump friend Dana White to Meta's board. Zuckerberg referred to Trump's response to his assassination attempt as "badass" in the run-up to the election, but he did not support any candidate.

Bezos and Trump have also had a history of disagreements. In 2019, Amazon accused Trump of losing a multibillion-dollar cloud computing contract with the Pentagon because of his "personal dislike" of Bezos, and Trump has been critical of the Washington Post, which Bezos owns. Bezos gave $1 million to the inaugural fund and stated that Trump "showed tremendous grace and courage under literal fire" during the assassination attempt, despite not endorsing him last year. He has always had the backing of others. Along with Adelson, the widow of billionaire Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of Las Vegas Sands, who gave $100 million to the pro-Trump super PAC Preserve America during the election, Musk is one of Trump's largest donors. The owner of Landry's restaurant chain and the Houston Rockets, Fertitta, has been nominated to be the U.S. ambassador to Italy.

Last year, Billionaires held a Trump fundraiser. Co-owner of the Chicago Cubs Ricketts has been a significant contributor to Republican political campaigns. Although he first gathered money for Trump's campaign within the party, he later led pro-Trump fundraising in 2020 and this year.

Over $170 million. According to estimates, Trump's first fund raised that amount, nearly tripling the $62 million raised by President Joe Biden four years prior and significantly surpassing the previous record of $107 million established by Trump's 2016 inauguration. According to reports, donors who contributed $1 million or raised $2 million from others received six tickets to several events in the days preceding the inauguration, such as a black-tie ball and a "candlelight dinner" with Trump and Melania Trump.

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifying match, Zimbabwe's head coach Michael Nees has cautioned that Nigeria's Super Eagles are a "wounded lion," suggesting that, they will be a strong and dangerous foe. With only two points from four games and a five-point deficit to South Africa, who are in second place, Zimbabwe's chances of moving forward from Group C seem slim.

With just three points from four games, the Super Eagles have had a terrible qualifying campaign and, like Zimbabwe, might lose out on successive FIFA World Cup berths. Michael Nees, the coach of Zimbabwe, has warned that the Super Eagles should not be taken lightly despite their difficulties, calling them "wounded lions" who will be a formidable opponent when the two teams play in March.

However, Nees emphasized that his focus is now on the forthcoming game against Benin, emphasizing the need to focus on the current objective rather than becoming sidetracked by the next encounter against Nigeria. "We have to proceed gradually. Thinking about the second step before the first is risky. As we've observed.

That is beyond question. After Benin, we are unable to consider the opponent. Taking things one game and one training session at a time, he emphasized the importance of adopting a methodical approach: "We have a challenge, and we take it step by step and match by match, and we must take it training to training, day by day." Since there are so many variables in football, I believe it would be wise for us to approach it that way.

Elon Musk's abrupt dismissal of the Tesla Supercharger team left many wondering: what's going on behind the scenes? Please find out how this daring move could change Tesla's future and what it means for its ambitious expansion plans. Elon Musk's surprising decision to fire the entire Tesla Supercharger team was part of a larger cost-cutting plan, but still, it put one of the company's fastest-growing divisions on hold. The move had significant repercussions for stakeholders and customers who depend on Tesla's charging network and shook the company.

This story was published on May 21, 2024, just over a week after the termination. Rebecca Tinucci, the chief of the Supercharger department, was among the more than 500 workers who were let go. This abrupt shift put a snag in Tesla's expansion plans at a very important moment, bringing all new charging station installations to a grinding halt. It demonstrates just how difficult it can be for businesses to balance expansion with financial objectives. Elon Musk swiftly changed his mind after realizing that his choice might have been a little rash and brought certain members of the Supercharger team back on board.

 He understood how important they were to maintaining the health of Tesla's ecosystem. North American freight director Max de Zegher was one of those rehired. However, they have not disclosed the precise number of persons who were able to reclaim their positions, so we are left to speculate as to how much ground they have won in that area.

In addition to these personnel adjustments, Musk announced a substantial investment of $500 million to expand Tesla's network of Superchargers! This large expenditure demonstrates his continued commitment to expansion, even despite previous indications on his X profile that he was slowing it down. Musk is known for his ability to quickly adjust when conditions or market demands change. The team behind Tesla's Supercharger used their X account to express gratitude to suppliers and partners for sticking by them through this difficult time with project deadlines and payments.

Their analysis suggests that these unforeseen organizational upheavals may pose problems in collaborations and completing tasks. Elon Musk has experience with similar tactics; at Twitter, he implemented huge layoffs followed by rehires. Strangely enough, even though these kinds of decisions may appear chaotic within the organization, they originally helped Tesla's stock rise, demonstrating that investors still have faith in Musk's long-term strategy despite the short-term upheaval.

After all of this commotion, it's obvious that people from all other businesses are talking about Elon Musk's leadership style. His audacious actions frequently spark discussions about how businesses should be governed and operated in extremely fast-paced industries where technological innovation is the driving force. Anyone following Tesla's turbulent journey or interested in the workings of corporations under well-known executives like Elon Musk will find this story serves as another reminder of how quickly things can change depending on executive decisions and how important it is to stay informed to understand broader market trends and their implications for all of us.

Makinde is urged by Oyomessi to refrain from using an illegal selection process for the new Alaafin—the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde has received a message from the Kingmakers of Oyo Kingdom, Oyo City, also known as OyoMessi, asking him to use due process, probity, and diligence when choosing the next ruler for the ancient city. In their letter to the state governor, Oyo's traditional Five Kingmakers characterized his decision to initiate a new procedure for choosing the Alaafin's vacancy as unlawful and disrespectful to the courts.

High Chiefs Yusuf Akínade, Bashorun of Oyo; Wakeel Akindele, Lagunna of Oyo; Hamzat Yusuf, Akinniku of Oyo; Chíef Wahab Oyetunji, a warrant chief stand-in for Asipa of Oyo; and Gbadebo Mufutau, a warrant chief stand-in for Alapinní of Oyo, are the kingmakers who have voiced their disapproval of this action.

On this Thursday, January 9, 2025, the Kingmakers' legal representative, Adekunle Sobaloju SAN, wrote and signed a letter to the Governor outlining their stance. "We have just been reliably informed by our clients that you have just appointed (i) Chief Odurinde Olusegun Alajagba of Ajagba and (ii) Chief Ganiyu Ajiboye (Alago-Oja of Ago Oja) as warrant kingmakers to join High Chief Asimiyu Atanda (Agbaakin of Oyo) and High Chief Lamidi Oyewale (Samu of Oyo) to begin the process of choosing a replacement for Alafin of Oyo," the kingmakers' attorney wrote in the letter.

The two Local Government Chairmen, the aforementioned warrant chiefs, High Chiefs Asimiyu Atanda (Agbaakin of Oyo) and Lamidi Oyewale (Samu of Oyo), disagree with the majority of Kingmakers' decision to choose Prince Lukman Adelodun Gbadegesin as the Alafin elect, were called to the office of the Oyo State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs. They were instructed to start a new process to fill the Alafin of Oyo position.

However, the attorneys clarified that the Governor's attempt to initiate a new procedure violates his oath of office, and legal and constitutional obligations to uphold the constitution and to give the court the highest respect because there is an ongoing court action on the subject.

The kingmakers also pointed out that the governor's action is comparable to his previous one in which he disbanded a democratically elected Local Government chairman while ignoring a case that was still pending in court. The Supreme Court later denounced this action as a "disturbing ugly face of impunity displayed by the Governor of Oyo State, tantamount to executive lawlessness." "It would be subjudice and amount to lawlessness and disregard of the superior courts of record to proceed with a new process for the appointment of Alafin of Oyo, an act from which your Excellency should disassociate yourself."

By the law and the integrity of our courts, the letter stated, "Therefore, we again ask and urge your Excellency to suspend any plan to start a fresh process for the filling of the vacant stool of Alafin of Oyo while a motion for injunction pending appeal is pending."

Prince Abimbola Akeem Owoade has been endorsed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to serve as the new Alaafin of Oyo. Prince Dotun Oyelade, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, stated in a statement that Prince Owoade had been proposed by the Oyomesi and accepted by Governor Makinde following extensive consultations and divinations. The commissioner claims that Hon. Ademola Ojo, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, has released a statement to this effect, stating that the announcement has resolved all legal and sociopolitical disputes that have arisen since Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III passed away on April 22, 2022. Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, who served as Alaafin from 1970 until his death, left the Alaafin stool empty.

The list of the 100 players with the highest market value was released by the CIES this week. In the top 10, four Real Madrid players are listed. Jude Bellingham is the most valuable footballer in the world, at least according to the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) list released this week, in a world where Rodri is the Ballon d'Or winner and Vinicius is FIFA's Best.

Erling Haaland of Manchester City, his closest competition, is valued at 221 million ($227.6 million), whereas the Real Madrid midfielder is valued at 251 million euros ($258.58 million). Five players from Real Madrid are in the top 20, and four are in the top 10 (Fede Valverde, valued at 114 million, is ranked 17th). Vinicius, who won The Best and finished second in the Ballon d'Or voting, rounds off the podium with a total worth of 205 million euros.

No player outside of the top three hits the 200 million magic number. Lamine Yamal of Barcelona is in fourth place with 180 million, five million euros more than Kylian Mbappé, who is in fourth place with 175 million. Rodri, the current Ballon d'Or winner, is ranked 73rd, well down the list. In addition to his age (he will turn 29 in June), he may have suffered cruciate ligament damage.

He is valued at 70.6 million by the CIES, whereas other Spanish players like Samu Omorodion (73M), Fermín (84M), and Balde (85M) are ranked higher than the City star. Bart Verbruggen (Brighton & Hove Albion) had the greatest goalkeeper value, while Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP) and Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City) were the top defenders and players outside the top five, respectively.
