Despite the huge laughs from the A-listers present, the royals barely managed to force a smile.     Their response to Rebel's humorous reference to Prince Andrew, who has faced criticism for his association with convi...

Outrage on Twitter as Jay-Z and Beyonce Sit During National Anthem at Super Bowl

Twitter exploded with criticism for power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce after they chose not to stand for the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday evening, deeming their action as 'disrespectful'. The Carters, accompanied by their daughter, Blue Ivy, were photographed sitting during Demi Lovato's anthem performance before the big game at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, sparking a wave of backlash on the platform. While many were impressed by Lovato's rendition of the anthem, the Carters' decision not to stand suggested either a lack of support for Lovato or a deliberate political statement. The timing of their action, whether intentional or not, comes in the aftermath of Jay-Z's partnership with the NFL to raise awareness about police brutality and injustice. This ha...

FG Minister Amaechi: No Intervention on Lagos Okada and Tricycles Ban

Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, addressed the ban of commercial motorcycles (okadas) and tricycles on major Lagos roads enforced by the State government on February 1.   Amaechi emphasized that it isn't within the federal government's jurisdiction to dictate to state governments on transport policy, as it is primarily a state affair.   He clarified, saying:   “Implementation of transport policy is essentially a state affair. So you can’t be telling a state whether they want ‘okada’ or tricycles or not. That’s not our responsibility. It is for the state government to decide what to do.”   Amaechi acknowledged that Lagos State government had valid reasons for the ban. He commented:   “Speaking as a former Governor, when I was in Rivers State, they were using motorcycles to...
