Emeka Ike —Nobody Should Question Obi Cubana’s Source Of Wealth

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 11:30 PM PDT

A week after the elaborate burial of Obi Iyiegbu, alias Obi Cubana, the mother of nightclub owner and billionaire Obi Iyiegbu, actor Emeka Ike has declared that people who criticize the excessive display of wealth at the weeklong ceremony have no right to do so.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, Ike said, "We all mind one another's business in this country because people are always looking for the negative things. As he (Iyiegbu) is spending, it shouldn't be anybody's problem. He is simply having fun. And if it is a way of honouring his late mother, what stops him from calling his friends to come around and celebrate her life? Maybe, that's his way of doing it. He has also said that he has helped many people and many of them would want to repay the favour."

Ike also disagreed with those who said that Nollywood painted most rich Igbo people as occultists. He said, "There are different ways people can show their affluence. Some might choose to 'spray' money and it could be a one-off thing. I don't think I have heard Kanayo Kanayo spraying money anywhere before now.

"We are not going to carpet all that because of someone spraying money at a function. Maybe Cubana had been nice to them and they decided to spray that amount of money. However, it is left for the government to decide whether to ban spraying of money or not."

The actor also maintained that Nollywood actors were not all about showing off. He said, "People can have whatever opinion they want about Nollywood. The industry is diverse and there are many people working in it. The fact that some actors sprayed money there does not mean we should carpet the whole Nollywood. Later this month, we (some actors) are going to commission a computer centre with over 20 computers, desks and accessories at Ejigbo Community High School, Lagos. It is also fitted with a projector screen. We would give awards to the best students in certain subjects, and outstanding teachers."

Android 12: Is your phone compatible?

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 06:00 PM PDT

 


Provided by CNET Recent Google Pixel phones like the Pixel will enjoy an update to Android . Juan GarzonCNET

Android , Google s latest version of its mobile OS, is just around the corner. With it comes one of the biggest overhauls Android has seen in years. In fact, Google expects the software to be the fastest, smoothest and flashiest version yet.

So when can you officially get your hands on that Android goodness? Right now, it s in the late stages of beta development. Although Google has not announced an official release date, we re expecting Android to release in either August or September based on release times of previous versions. 

The big question is whether your phone will actually receive the massive update. At launch, only a select few models will. And to qualify for an upgrade at a later date, each handset must meet the hardware requirements. So if you re eager to enjoy Android on your own phone, you ve come to the right place. Here s everything we know about how that will likely play out.

According to Google, to get the most out of Android a device must qualify as performance class. Specifically, for Android a handset needs a performance class minimum qualification. According to Google, a performance class defines a set of device capabilities that goes beyond Android s baseline requirements.

Performance class won t necessarily exclude performance class devices for running Android , however. Performance class Android phone owners can, in theory, install Android : They just won t see all the OS bells and whistles available. Google has also said it will publish the requirements for performance class when it releases Android .

Perhaps the biggest perk of buying a Google Pixel phone is the promise of timely updates. Google has pledged to provide three years of Android OS updates for each Pixel handset. The clock starts ticking from the moment each device goes up for sale in the Google Store.

That means the Pixel and Pixel XL, unveiled in , are the oldest Pixel phones able to get Android . All newer Google handsets also qualify, including the Pixel a, Pixel a XL, Pixel , Pixel XL, Pixel a G and Pixel .

Provided by CNET The flagship Samsung Galaxy S will certainly receive an eventual Android update. Sarah TewCNET

Details for an Android rollout on Samsung handsets aren t as clear. Android made its way to Samsung phones in December as part of the UI update. The Samsung products currently capable of running UI include the Galaxy S line, the Galaxy S line, the Galaxy Note line, the Z Fold, the Z Flip, and the Note, Fold and S series.

Using this timing and precedent as a guide, it s fair to say that we can expect UI along with Android to hit the same premium Galaxy and Note phones in December .

Provided by CNET Other high-end phones like the OnePlus Pro will likely get updated to Android too. Andrew HoyleCNET

Similar to the beta release of Android , we expect a slew of high-performance handsets to receive Android updates besides Samsung. According to the website GetDroidTips, the tentative list includes devices from LG, Motorola, Nokia, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Xiaomi, Vivo, Sony and Asus.

The Android beta program is available to a group of premium phones such as the OnePlus , OnePlus Pro, Asus Zenfone , Oppo Find X Pro and TCL Pro G -- just to name a few.

The best Android phones in 2021

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 03:43 PM PDT


The best Android phones fit practically every need and budget. Whether you re on not wanting to spent or you re looking to drop up to $, on a phone, you have a lot to choose from. You have the power to prioritize what features matter most to you.

Those on a budget can get a good-enough Android phone for under $. Step up to the $ range, and the choices get considerably better, especially when it comes to camera quality. And you can get flagship-level performance starting at under $, so long as you re willing to live without some bells and whistles and the finest photography.

The most premium Android flagship phones start at $, offering the sharpest and brightest displays, the most advanced photography, and cutting edge features like reverse wireless charging and Hz screens. G has also come to more affordable options, like the Pixel a G, so it s nice to see more Android phones able to take advantage of faster download speeds. 

We've tested all of the most popular Android phones in all shapes, sizes and prices here at Tom's Guide, and our current top pick is the Galaxy S Ultra from Samsung. It offers an incredible display, crazy powerful cameras, and a huge battery to power it all. Plus, it s the first Galaxy S phone to support the S Pen sold separately. The OnePlus Pro, another excellent premium Android phone, is a close second.

If you want the best camera for the lowest cost, look no further than Google s Pixel a. Its camera comes straight out of Google s premium Pixels, and its excellent display and quality design make it a steal for $. The Pixel a G is our pick if you need a G phone from Google and still want some of the best mobile photography available.

Bargain hunters striving to spend the absolute least can find a very good option in the latest version of the Moto G Power, which lasts the whole day on a charge, but starts at just $. On the other end of the price spectrum, the Galaxy Z Fold costs $,, but finally delivers on the potential of foldable phones.

Rear camera: MP main ƒ.; MP ultrawide ƒ.; MP telephoto x zoom, ƒ., MP telephoto x zoom, ƒ., laser AF sensor

The Galaxy S Ultra is the Android phone to get, if you don't mind spending more than $, on your next handset. Even with its lofty price, though, the S Ultra still debuts for $ less than last year's Galaxy S Ultra, so you're getting a lot of value. With the S Ultra, Samsung has packed an incredible amount of premium features into its newest flagship.

The .-inch display on the Galaxy S Ultra has a dynamic refresh rate that automatically scales between Hz and Hz, depending on if the task you're performing benefits from a faster refresh rate. You get two telephoto lenses that help you capture an amazing amount of detail when you zoom in, and other software-driven photo features help the S Ultra capture some great shots. And this is the first Galaxy S phone to offer S Pen support, making this a productivity booster.

The Galaxy S Ultra offers other attractive features, including a best-in-class Snapdragon processor. The Pixel a may be a better bargain, but the S Ultra leaves no premium feature unexplored.

+Gorgeous design+Beautiful Hz display+Excellent performance+Crazy fast wired and wireless charging

The OnePlus Pro is big, it's beautiful, and it's very powerful. It completely wowed us, from its gorgeous display to its battery life and charging. The OxygenOS software experience is top-notch, complete with plenty of tweaks and features to help you make the phone truly yours.

It also excels as a camera phone thanks to the new partnership with Hasselblad. The MP main shooter captures wonderful photos with natural color tones and excellent dynamic range. The MP ultrawide sensor is huge and captures just as much detail. It even has a freeform lens over top, helping to practically eliminate edge distortion in ultrawide shots. The MP telephoto lens has .x optical zoom, x digital zoom, and OIS. Video is also a highlight, with support for up to K FPS, K FPS, DOL-HDR, and Nightscape for low-light footage.

You'll want for nothing with the OnePlus Pro unless it s G on AT&T, even if it is the most expensive OnePlus phone to date at over $,. Rest assured that you're getting a huge bang for your buck, especially when compared to the competition.

You might be surprised to find Google s mid-range Pixel, the Pixel a, at third on our list of the best Android phones. But at just $, the Pixel a is a remarkably complete smartphone, the likes of which we ve never before seen at this price.

For half the price of the Pixel , or a third of what Samsung and Apple charge for their top models, the Pixel a offers a flagship-caliber camera, good-enough performance, impeccable software, a pocketable, well-built design, GB of built-in storage and a dazzling and bright .-inch OLED display.

If the a suffered from one shortcoming, it d be battery life. But in all other respects, it s nearly perfect — and it even has a headphone jack. In previous years, you would have had to spend at least $ on a device like this, but the Pixel a is an unmatched bargain among Android devices right now, and an even better deal than last year s already-excellent Pixel a. And if you re curious how it compares to its bigger brother, we have a Pixel a vs. Pixel a G face-off for you.

All of that said, we do want to point out that the Pixel a is coming quite soon, possibly as soon as August. Google hasn t set a firm date yet, but we ve heard that the a will come out before the Pixel lineup so that Google doesn t cannibalize itself. Rumors also suggest that the Pixel a could see some significant upgrades over the a, such as G thanks to the Snapdragon G processor found in the Pixel , a larger screen, and a second ultrawide camera lens. We re also hoping for a bigger battery.

+Dynamic .-inch Hz display+Smoother S Pen performance +Powerful x zoom camera and laser autofocus+Very good battery life

The Galaxy Note Ultra takes the crown as the best Android phone for those willing to pay an ultra-premium price. And that's because this device is much more than a phone. It's a powerful note-taking tool with lots of S Pen upgrades; it's a pro-level camera with a MP sensor and x zoom; and it's a mini game console with the ability to stream Xbox games.

The Note Ultra also boasts the best display on a phone yet, as its huge .-inch OLED screen has a dynamic Hz refresh rate. So it's smart enough to dial things up or down based on what s being displayed, which saves battery life. The , mAh battery lasts a long time on a charge, and you get quick -watt charging out of the box. Overall, the Galaxy Note Ultra more than lives up to its name. It is, however, getting a little long in the tooth, with rumors suggesting that the Galaxy Z Fold line will replace the Note family.

+Ridiculously fast charging+Top-performing Android phone+Better cameras than previous OnePlus models+Solid battery life

Though not quite as fancy as its Pro brother, the OnePlus is still a fantastic phone, especially for the money. You get a flat .-inch FHD+ Hz display that looks amazing, the same MP wide and MP ultrawide cameras as the OnePlus Pro, and the best processor you can get with an Android device, the Snapdragon .

Battery life is another major plus, with the OnePlus lasting for hours and minutes in the Tom's Guide battery test with the Hz mode enabled. The cameras are much improved over the OnePlus T and other OnePlus phones, too, meaning that you can capture vivid scenes with more accurate colors and dynamic range. The lack of a telephoto lens is a bummer, though.

Best of all, the OnePlus starts at $ for the GBGB model. That's a lot of phone for the money and it offers a real challenge to Samsung's Android crown. But OnePlus twice-yearly release schedule is coming due for the next entrant, the OnePlus T. That could appear in the October timeframe. And although rumors about the upcoming phone are a bit sparse right now, we ll probably hear a lot about it from OnePlus in the weeks leading up to the launch.

In recent years, there's been one phone to turn to when you want the absolute best battery life for an Android phone — the Moto G Power. The edition of this phone doesn't make many changes from its predecessor, sticking with the ,mAh battery that sets the pace for other phones. The Moto G Power lasted more than hours on our battery test, roughly hours longer than the average smartphone.

Motorola has made one crucial change with the Moto G Power — its price. While you can still get a version of the phone with GB of memory and GB of storage  for an attractive $, if you can live with less RAM and storage, the price drops to $. That's an incredible price for a device that lasts all day and then some on a single charge.

If you're enticed by some of the features Samsung has introduced in its Galaxy S lineup but put off by the thought of $, phones, then the standard Galaxy S is the phone for you. You'll enjoy the dynamic refresh rate, excellent cameras and Snapdragon chipset found in other members of the S family, but at a low $ starting price. That's $ less than last year's Galaxy S.

Samsung makes some sacrifices to get this lower price, starting with the materials it uses for the phone's design. But that's a small consideration when you get a phone this powerful for less than $. With an excellent zoom lens aided by wonderful software additions, this is also a great phone to get if you want great photos and videos.

If you want a G phone from Google, you don t necessarily have to get the Pixel . All of that phone s best features — including G connectivity and some of the best performing cameras we ve tested — can be found in the Pixel a G. And this phone costs $ less than Google s flagship.

You give up some build quality and water resistance by opting for the cheaper G option, and the Pixel a G doesn t have a fast-refreshing screen. But it is the largest display among Google s recent releases, and the .-inch OLED panel is plenty colorful.

It s the cameras that ultimately are the reason to pick up a Pixel, and the Pixel a G can match the Pixel shot for shot. Not surprising since they use the same hardware and support the same features. The Pixel a G gives you an affordable way to get started with the G future.

+Superb performance+Beautiful AMOLED display with Hz refresh rate+Excellent battery life+Powerful front-facing speakers

Asus launched the latest version of its gaming phone, the ROG Phone , in March. It s a huge phone with an equally large , mAh battery, a .-inch AMOLED display with a Hz refresh rate, incredible front-facing speakers, two USB-C ports, and a whole host of software goodies to make sure you have the ultimate mobile gaming experience.

With the ROG Phone , you get uncompromising power with up to GB of RAM and the best Android processor yet, the Snapdragon . Everything about this phone is designed for gaming, even right down to the SoC placement and the split battery for faster W charging. If you want more, there s the ROG Phone Pro with GB of storage and GB of RAM, or the limited edition ROG Phone Ultimate with a whopping GB of RAM.

A US launch is happening later this year, but the phone will be limited to GSM networks and sub-GHz G. Where the ROG Phone falters is its camera performance, especially its night mode. You won t be amazed by the photos it takes, but we expect you want this phone for its gaming prowess. Rest assured, it delivers on that front.

It didn't look good for foldable phones at the outset, with the original Galaxy Fold offering a futuristic concept of mobile computing in a seriously flawed and damage-prone package. But then Samsung went back to the drawing board, refining its original design to produce the Galaxy Z Fold — a device that rights its predecessors flaws, while adding some useful new features.

One of those useful additions is Flex Mode, which leverages the Galaxy Z Fold 's free-stop hinge to allow the device to stay in place at any position, while showing custom, split-screen controls for relevant apps, like video chatting software. But the Z Fold nails the basics as well, thanks to a greatly-expanded exterior cover display that lacks the eyesore bezels on the original model, as well as a larger interior panel shrouded in Samsung's Ultra-Thin Glass, making it more durable and pleasant to the touch.

All this innovation comes at a price of course — $,, to be precise. But then there's no Android phone that can do what the Galaxy Z Fold does, perched perfectly between phone and tablet.

We re just a short bit away from the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip . Rumors are heating up about the Z Fold s successor, including S Pen support, better glass, and an under-display selfie cam all at a supposedly lower price than the Fold launched at.

Samsung has announced the next Unpacked event for August , with pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold live now.

The first place to start when shopping for the best Android phone for you is your budget. And there are essentially a few tiers, The cheapest Android phones cost under $ and offer mostly the basics for using apps, taking pictures and staying connected. 

As you move up to under $, you ll find more compelling handsets, touting better processors, higher-grade materials and more camera lenses. Progress into the $-and-up range, and the best phones offer flagship-caliber performance along with cutting-edge computational photography and special features.

The most premium Android phones offer foldable designs, but in general we don t feel like these types of devices are worth the splurge yet — save, perhaps, for the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, which rights the Galaxy Fold s design quirks and isn t egregiously expensive for a foldable, anyway at $,.

Every smartphone Tom's Guide evaluates is tested for several days in real-world use cases and benchmarked with a gamut of performance-measuring apps. In terms of performance, we used Geekbench to measure overall speed and DMark to measure graphics performance.

We also use our own video editing test in the Adobe Premiere Rush app to see how long it takes to transcode a clip, which we run on both Android phones and iPhone to compare performance.

We use a light meter to ascertain display quality data, like brightness and color accuracy, and our proprietary battery test determines longevity on a charge by continuously loading live webpages over a G or G network. We set each phone to nits of screen brightness and try to use T-Mobile s network each time in order to achieve comparable results across phones.

Lastly, we explore the software, test gaming performance and conduct live camera comparisons with rival handsets — and each of these factors play a part in our comprehensive verdict.

How AI Can create meaningful exchange In ordinary Industries

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 01:10 PM PDT

Matt co-based again with the perception that fresh food is the way forward for what we devour, yet is underserved with the aid of retail technology.

It's been a decade on account that Marc Andreessen bound his clear-sighted essay declaring that "software is eating the realm." We need only look at a couple of application companies with huge impact on our day by day lives Uber, DoorDash and slack, to identify a couple of to remember that here s real. Yet presently, dissimilar multitrillion-dollar industries comparable to retail, supply alternation, meals and power accept crucial workflows and determination-authoritative approaches that count on Excel spreadsheets or accurate pen and paper.

What's retaining software lower back from ingesting these industries? The answer lies in the physicality, action and unpredictability of the non-digital world.

In the digital world, the inputs mandatory are apprehensible. take the enterprise of optimizing ad placement to maximise clicks as people cream the internet or scroll via palsy-walsy media. at the highest level, the goal is to maximize clickthrough expense and conversion. The inputs vital for optimization application to assignment are apprehensible; appeal factors who's touring their web page, advertiser and ad give which advertisements will also be proven and placement areas the place can they be shown are mostly standard, accessible statistics points. Optimizing ad placement remains complicated to get right, but operating inside a digital ambience wherein the inputs and outputs are abundantly captured and accepted makes it much more straightforward.

It gets tons, an awful lot more durable in the actual apple with enhanced complication and many extra unknowns. unlike agenda "areas," statistics in regards to the world isn't at all times accessible or accurate. Your condo doesn't in some way "understand" the place your desk is placed, whereas your laptop knows precisely the place each figure is determined. here is one simple illustration of abounding things that make the world of atoms multiplicatively extra complex than the area of $..

So what's needed to inject know-how into the atrociously advanced context of the actual apple? I believe a new technology of application is appropriate that can leverage the better of know-how however also rely on and companion with the instinct and flexibility of human clients. as a substitute of automating every thing completely, this new generation can well known lacking data through permitting people to step in to make use of their acumen and boots-on-the-ground senses once in a while. The subsequent generation of applying AI to the physical world can have interaction AI for anticipated cases by which it can be optimized after which leverage people for the areas the place the area is activating and capricious or where acumen and instinct are vital.

the first customer cocky-riding motor vehicle expertise to become all-over will no longer absolutely automate humans away. it will enable the technology to force itself back the actual world allows it, and it ll enable for a animal to seize over when it doesn't. The automobile might drive itself on the toll road or in targeted autonomous vehicle lanes. again, a animal abettor in the automobile or faraway region can pressure it in the anarchic city core.

during this way, we will automate and harness the great energy of AI to optimize decisions that it's well-outfitted to deal with and empower people to tackle the things it could actually't. just as this principle applies to self-driving vehicles, it may also be applied to countless business use situations in abundant industries. The result may be a fantastic digitization and access of vital physical industries which have traditionally remained underpenetrated through expertise — and that, in turn, can actualize fantastic efficiencies, cost and sustainability.

giant, traditional industries like grocery or construction accept digitized a few of their techniques but still count on guide input and human judgment for his or her best essential selections. Why is this still occurring when we see AI revolutionizing different agenda industries? The actual apple has some core challenges:

• The actual world is discipline to the fluctuations of americans, and the levels of enter from americans are unlimited.

• black swan routine, large and baby, are capricious and out of our manage like September eleven.

These are enormous challenges, and what makes it even more difficult is that these real-world features are at once at allowance with the core construct of know-how:

• know-how is built on less complicated, bankrupt-bend methods that aren't as vulnerable or field to aspect instances.

This clash has fabricated it difficult for AI to extend from the digital world to the physical world. With our cocky-driving automobiles illustration, the purpose they aren't ubiquitous yet is the amount challenges of the precise world listed aloft; it's difficult for cocky-using automobiles to are trying to scan the entire data in the actual world to operate seamlessly.

To positively exchange the area and resolve humanity's most urgent problems, we ought to practice know-how. sure, expertise can serve up targeted advertisements, increase alive high-quality and imply superior content, and these functions accept a spot in our lives. youngsters, applying artificial intelligence in average, actual industries can drive meaningful and fine benefits like much less waste, greater availability, less chance and greater strong industries.

perhaps, at last, software will utterly eat the crazy facet cases and alternation of the actual apple. in the meantime, let's construct a arch by developing animal-founded AI and programs advised for the physical apple to have an effect on the global alternate we should mitigate climate alternate, solve our largest animal fitness problems and take away tons of chance from the realm. back animal-founded AI is utilized to typical industries, we can then actualize actual trade. it may possibly no longer be as flashy as fully self sustaining motors, facial focus or robotics, but it's no less world-changing and massively essential.

No displacement request from Nigerian Govt In Sunday Igboho’s Case file – Beninese legal professional

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 04:43 PM PDT

Ibrahim bologna, a Beninese assistant and attorney to Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo Igboho has defined why the advocate cannot be extradited to Nigeria.

Salami noted that there was no extradition appeal from the Nigerian govt in the case book of Igboho and hence, there become no ground for him to be lower back to Nigeria. 

The lawyer additionally debunked claims that Igboho had entered the West African country with a pretend Beninese passport as he explained that Igboho entered the nation with a sound Nigerian passport on his option to Germany. 

Bologna pointed out that he alongside the different four attorneys on the agitator s felony group was attempting every thing possible to be sure Igboho remained in Benin as a refugee and not to Nigeria, due to the fact the travails anticipating Igboho in Nigeria. 

In an interview with BBC Yoruba, bologna referred to, "i am additionally a Yoruba man, i m from the Oduduwa lineage. I accost all Yoruba indigenes in Nigeria, Benin Republic and everywhere the realm. We legal professionals; we always do not speak on television and radio stations because we assignment in courts but there are so many lies on this Igboho rely and that changed into why I decided to supply this explanation. 


He referred to, "The authorization with him was the Nigerian passport and in his Nigerian authorization, he had an address card in Germany, therefore he does not need a visa to go to Germany once again." 


When requested if the Nigerian Govt had accounting the Benin Republic to extradite Igboho, the attorney mentioned, "That changed into the knot within the conversation because when Igboho turned into originally arrested, the badge noted he had been declared desired in Nigeria but when you consider that his arrest, we tried to ascertain if the Nigerian Govt had requested that he be extradited to Nigeria so we looked into the case file and seen that the Nigerian government had not asked that he be back to Nigeria.


"for the time being, that isn t blanketed in the case file. what is presently there is that the Nigerian executive has defined its causes for requesting the arrest of Igboho pointing out that he acted against the legislations in Nigeria that if the Beninese executive is capable of arrest him, that should be completed. 


"What we are not happy about is, he has no longer accomplished anything else unsuitable in Benin.

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT

Nigeria has some of the richest and most influential monarchs in Africa.

It's only right that their palaces should reflect such.

Even if you can't afford to live in your own palace, you can see what it might be like by visiting some of Nigeria's most stunning palaces.

1. Zazzau's Palace

This picturesque palace entrance belongs to the Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state. The buildings are traced to traditional Habe architecture and decorated with the emir's insignia.

2 . The Sultan of Sokoto's Palace

The palace is home to the Sultan of Sokoto, the traditional and spiritual ruler of the Sokoto Caliphate who historically holds the most important Muslim position in Nigeria. The palace features an extensive courtyard, a mosque and luxurious bedrooms.

3. Oba of Benin's Palace

 Located in the heart of Benin, the Benin palace houses the traditional ruling house and seat of authority of Benin.

You need to avoid these foods if you want to lose your belly fat

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:00 AM PDT

Belly fat is a major concern for most people and the kind of foods you consume has a lot to do with it.

There are many reasons why people gain belly fat, which includes poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress.

But today's article will focus on the foods that major contribute to belly fat. You might have been working so hard and trying several methods to get rid of your belly fat without checking your meal. This effort is incomplete. Organizing your diet in combination with the right fitness routine will help you lose that belly fat in no time.

Certain foods should be eliminated from your diet if you want to get rid of your belly fat completely. Below are the list of foods.

1. Dairy products

Certain amounts of dairy products are beneficial to the health but when they start causing bloating after consumption, then you need to avoid them. You might be suffering from lactose intolerance. Swap out cow's milk for lactose-free or nut milk alternatives and try to limit how much cheese and yogurt you consume.

2. Soft drinks

Soft drinks are a major contributor to belly fat, thanks to their high content of empty calories and processed sugar like fructose. The body struggles to burn fructose and other additives, especially around the waist, meaning high consumption will lead to significant belly fat over time.

3. Potato chips

One of your favorite snacks may be giving you belly fat. Most potato chip brands are cooked in hydrogenated oils. Snacks high in hydrogenated oils and trans-fat are known to increase cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, and also contribute to weight gain around the stomach.

4. Processed baked snacks

If you're aiming to lose belly fat, then you'll most definitely want to eliminate processed baked goods from your diet. From those yummy doughnuts to meat pies, dessert cakes, and many others, you need to say your byes if you want to lose your belly fat. Sugar increases inflammation, which is not only bad for you but can also make you look puffy and bloated.

5. Alcohol

Drinking alcohol can lead to dehydration and water retention, and as we discussed earlier, water-weight can leave you feeling bloated and puffy. Beers contain heavy calories but are low in nutritional value, and will not help you to get closer to achieving a flat stomach.

Actor, Lateef Adedimeji rants–“Stop questioning people’s wealth, mind your business”

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Popular Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji condemns trolls who question the source of wealth of others while pretending to love them.

According to the renowned Yoruba actor, trolls in this category worry more about questioning the livelihood of others so much that they end up stagnant without any life progress.


In Lateef Adedimeji's words;

"Salah has ended, the rams have been enjoyed and buried, folks have moved on to greater things, but you're there questioning the source of people's wealth, I say to you, do am if e easy…

You are the most opinionated about others, but these people you're talking about keep soaring and your own life is stagnant, do am if e easy na…

You enjoy talking people down, smile when you see them, then ruin their image when they're not there, not like you've eaten today, not like they're the cause of your frustrations, why not do it if it's that easy?

You can't glow better when you don't mind your business, like Ayinla will famously say, I'm not your family member, I'm just telling you my own. Do am if e easy.

No be say I dey vex o, I just say make I reason you small ni. Do am if e easy, abi… It is what it is."

Brisbane picked to host 2032 Olympics

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 02:00 AM PDT

Brisbane was picked Wednesday, July 21, to host the 2032 Olympics.

International Olympic Committee president, Thomas Bach, confirmed the inevitable winner after a vote at the IOC session in Tokyo and this triggered cheers from the Brisbane delegates in Tokyo and celebratory fireworks thousands of miles away in Brisbane.

"The International Olympic Committee has the honour to announce that the Games of the 35th Olympiad are awarded to Brisbane, Australia," Bach said.


Brisbane will become the third Australian city to host the Summer Games after Melbourne (hosted in 1956) and Sydney (in 200o).

"We know what it takes to deliver a successful Games in Australia," Prime Minister Scott Morrison told International Olympic Committee voters in an 11-minute live video link from his office.

He added: "It's a historic day not just for Brisbane and Queensland, but for the entire country.

"Only global cities can secure the Olympic Games, so this is fitting recognition for Brisbane's standing across our region and the world."

Brisbane follows 2028 host Los Angeles in getting 11 years to prepare for hosting the Games. Paris will host in 2024.

The 2032 deal for Brisbane looked done even months before the formal decision by IOC members at their meeting ahead of the Tokyo Games, which open Friday.

The IOC gave Brisbane exclusive negotiating rights back in February. That decision left Olympic officials in Qatar, Hungary and Germany looking blindsided with their own stalled bidding plans.

Brisbane was the first winner in a new bidding format. It lets the IOC approach potential candidates and pick them uncontested.


Hundreds of people packed Brisbane's Southbank riverside precinct for an announcement viewing party, watching the city's final pitch to the IOC projected on a big screen.

Rhys Cush, 24, one of those in the crowd, said he hoped to work at the 2032 Olympics and also attend as a spectator.

"I'm an extremely big fan. I even watched the softball this morning," he told AFP. "I'm super excited about having the Olympics coming here."

Lauren Granger, 42, said she hoped the 2032 Olympics would recreate the buzz of Sydney's successful 2000 Games.

"We flew down to Sydney and we were at the Olympics and it was just such a great experience for our family," she said.

"That was 20 years ago so we'd love to be able to relive that in 2032 with our kids."

Fireworks lit up the skies above Brisbane following the announcement.

Kechi Okwuchi on her remarkable 14-year journey following Plane Crash– “This is what progress looks like”

Posted: 24 Jul 2021 01:30 AM PDT

Kechi Okwuchi is a survivor who is grateful to be alive to tell her 14-year recovery journey. 

Despite being given a 30% chance of survival after suffering third-degree burns on 65% of her body, and having undergone over a hundred reconstructive surgeries, her healing journey involves an outpouring of self-love and perseverance while completing her own inner work.

She thanked God for keeping her alive to watch her progress, as she shared photos from 2007, a year after the sad accident, and one from Tuesday, July 20, 2021.

She wrote:

(Wonder if I should tag this as sensitive content…?)

I stumbled upon the picture on the left on my laptop a couple months ago, and i have been contemplating this post since then.

I remember I stared at it for a long time that day. Time makes me forget just how extensive my burn injuries were, and how devastating the effects were to my body. I realize this may shock some of you too.
The pic on the left was taken a good year after the plane crash and by then, intense scar tissue had formed, esp on my face.

I took the pic on the right a few mins ago and made these before/afters, and I marvel at how far God has brought me. I am the result of the hard work of multiple surgeons He brought into my life, nurses, physiotherapists, and love and care from my family, my mom especially.

This is what progress looks like, guys. 2 pictures, 14 years apart. I'm grateful that I lived long enough to see it.
I decided to make this post so that you guys can marvel at God with me.

I want someone who reads this to see that true progress, genuine growth, and lasting change cannot happen overnight. Most of the time during the journey, maybe like me, you won't notice changes because day by day they're too minuscule to make a difference. But if you give yourself a fighting chance, if you find the right kind of support on your journey, one day, definitely one day which right now may seem so far away, you will look back like I did this morning and hopefully…you will smile☺️

I heard this in a song and it stuck with me:
The night will definitely come. But so will the morning🌤
I never post things like this arbitrarily. As always, please be encouraged.

#survivor #burnsurvivor #inspiration #encouragement #beautyinscars

Special s/o to @shrinerstexas @dr.petergrossman @drandrewfrankel @artistsfortrauma, Milpark Hospital, South Africa and Shell Hospital PH, Nigeria, for sewing into my burn recovery journey🙏🏼
