| Rapper, The Game loses record label and “Born 2 Rap” royalties to his sexual assault accuser Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT  American rapper, The Game has lost ownership of his own record label including royalties from his last album "Born 2 Rap" in a $7 million sexual assault case.Back in 2015, Priscilla Rainey, a former reality dating show contestant accused The Game of sexually assaulting her at a Chicago sports bar while taping his VH1 reality show "She's Got Game." She sued him for $10 million in 2015, but he didn't show up to court and ignored the trial. As a result, the court ordered him to pay $7.13 million in damages to Rainey.The Game denied all of the allegations but refused to take the trial seriously, forcing the $7.13 million judgment.Since then the rapper has been fighting for an appeal over his decision not to pay Rainey a cent.According to AllHipHop, Rainey was recently granted "any and all rights, title, and interest" in any money, property or future payments due to Game's independent label LA Prolific, which he launched with his last album Born 2 Rap in November. She was also awarded the ownership of Born 2 Rap and royalties from the album, along with any salary Game may have been paying himself through LA Prolific. "All third parties who receive notice of this Order are directed to pay any and all money or property due, or to become due, under this Order, directly to Plaintiff either: (1) by check payable to 'Priscilla Rainey,' and delivered to Plaintiff's counsel" until the judgment is satisfied in full," stated Judge Virginia A. Phillips. According to the judge, if Game attempts to go against the ruling and collect the money, he could be charged with contempt of court.  |

| NCDC guidelines and how rules were flouted at Abba Kyari’s burial Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:59 AM PDT  The Nigerian social media sphere has been charged with reactions to the burial of Abba Kyari, the late Chief of Staff of President Muhammadu Buhari who died from complications of COVID-19-the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.Kyari died in Lagos on Friday, April 17, 2020, before his body was flown to Abuja where he was buried the following day.As one of the most powerful men in the presidency, his death has been a trending topic on social media since it was announced. His funeral, however, has drawn the ire of Nigerians who believe that his funeral went against guidelines. Families and COVID-19 corpses As Nigerians picked holes with the burial, there was a misconception that families are not allowed to bury loved ones who died from COVID-19.  That school of thought was also fueled by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed who said that families of the dead coronavirus victims would not be allowed to claim their remains for burial. "Nigerians should not forget that this is not the type of corpses that can be claimed for burial because it must be handled by the Ministry of Health," Mohammed was quoted as saying by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), however, states in its guideline that families can bury their loved ones who die of the disease caused by the coronavirus. The NCDC says it does not have any evidence yet of infectious bodies of persons who died of COVID-19. "Although burials should take place in a timely manner, in accordance with local practices, funeral ceremonies not involving the burial should be postponed, as much as possible, until the end of the pandemic," the NCDC says.  While family members are allowed to bury their loved ones, the NCDC advises that only trained health workers are allowed to touch the corpse. "Only burial team members that have been trained in IPC and safe burial practices should be allowed to handle dead bodies and conduct burials," the NCDC says in their guideline. "Family members, religious leaders, health care workers or mortuary staff preparing the body should wear appropriate PPE according to standard precautions (gloves, impermeable disposable gown [or disposable gown with impermeable apron, medical mask, eye protection)." No social distancing While Kyari's family members and friends were right to be allowed to bury him, they flouted some guidelines during the ceremony at Gudu Cemetery in Abuja. Large gatherings of more than 20 persons had been banned in Abuja to enforce social distancing to curb the spread of coronavirus. This ban was flouted during Kyari's burial. Social distancing was also not practiced at the burial. "In the event a ceremony is held, the number of attendees should be limited. The ceremony should be held in a well-ventilated structure, attendees should be advised on social distancing throughout the event, ensuring practice of hand and respiratory hygiene," the NCDC says. No face mask The NCDC has now advised the use of masks in public places but several persons that attended that burial were without masks thereby leaving themselves and others who attended exposed. As such, some top aides of President Buhari have been denied access back into the Presidential Villa in Abuja after returning from the burial according to a report by Sahara Reporters. PPE  In line with NCDC guidelines, trained personnel were present at the burial and although they were the only ones allowed to touch the corpse, some people were seen too close for comfort without any protective wear. A video of one of the workers who helped out in the funeral carelessly disposing of his protective wear and leaving it behind has also caused a stir on social media. The Health And Human Services Secretariat of the FCT Administration has expressed concern about that video and revealed that they have destroyed the protective wear.  In line with NCDC's directive, the area was also disinfected after the burial as seen in a video on social media. "Clean, decontaminate and disinfect the environment using NAFDAC approved bleach or other environmental decontaminants," the NCDC states.  |

Someone that I would look at and never back down on my pursuit for greatness," she said.Continuing, the Imo State born actress also passed on her advice to most of her colleagues who are single, childless and about to hit menopause "If at 38,39 and you are not married yet and you don't have a child of your own, it is such a pity for you as a woman. Try as much as possible to be pregnant and have a child. Women don't have time. At 35, some have already gone into Menopause. "I do hear people say having a child or children outside wedlock is a sin. Don't worry don't be the judge. Those same people that you fear would mock you when you have kids out of wedlock would also be there to make jest of you when the days are dark. "At old age when you look around and no one to help you or ask about your welfare, then you would regret your huge mistake. Get a child of your own now. Get pregnant and become a mother. Be wise and don't others fool you."  |
