 I’ve always been mocked, insulted over my huge size — Angel Babaorobo A comedian and skit maker, Usman Taiye, aka Angel Babaorobo, tells FAITH AJAYI about his journey as a content creator, his size and other issues  What is your educational background? My journey into the world of content creation has been shaped by different experiences and challenges that have influenced my life. I managed to finish primary school, which I considered a significant milestone in my early life. However, continuing my education beyond that point was a daunting task, due to the financial constraints my parents faced. The lack of resources meant that I could not further my education beyond that point; and, that actually defined much of my life. When did you become active on social media? In 2016, I made my entry into the world of social media. This marked a significant turning point in my life. Social media opened up a world of possibilities and opportunities that I had not previously imagined existed. It

LEBANESE PRIME MINISTER 'SAAD AL-HARIRI',RESIGNS TODAY.{PHOTO}.

-
Image
    Saad al-Hariri resigned as Lebanon’s prime minister on Tuesday, declaring he had hit a “dead end” in trying to resolve a crisis unleashed by huge protests against the ruling elite and plunging the country deeper into turmoil. Hariri addressed the nation after a mob loyal to the Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah and Amal movements attacked and destroyed a protest camp set up by anti-government demonstrators in Beirut. It was the most serious strife on the streets of Beirut since 2008, when Hezbollah fighters seized control of the capital in a brief eruption of armed conflict with Lebanese adversaries loyal to Hariri and his allies at the time. Hariri’s resignation on Tuesday points to rising political tensions that may complicate the formation of a new government capable of tackling Lebanon’s worst economic crisis since its 1975-90 civil war. The departure of Hariri, who has been traditionally backed by the West and Sunni Gulf Arab allies, raises the stakes and pushes Lebanon in

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE JUSTICE AT SUPREME COURT,PDP MOCKS APC.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      October 29, 2019 Press Statement You Cannot Escape Justice At Supreme Court, PDP Mocks APC The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says there is no way the All Progressives Congress (APC) can escape justice at the Supreme Court, given its weight of evidence proving that PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, won the February Presidential election. The PDP cautions the APC and supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari to desist from their blackmails and irresponsible allegations against the PDP and Atiku Abubakar, as such can never sway the Supreme Court to alter the course in the matter. The party says the APC, being discomfited by the weight of evidence against it and President Buhari, has resorted to cooked-up stories, inventions and threats, in a bid to smokescreen its machinations against the Supreme Court; all characteristic of individuals desperate to distract the court. The PDP has built a solid case at the Supreme Court. It stands with Nigerians across the c
