Lagos panel okays Lekki toll gate reopening
The Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos State government to investigate the October 2020 Lekki shooting incident has approved the reopening of the Lekki Tollgate. The nine-man panel returned the control of the tollgate to the Lekki Concession Company, the operators, on Saturday. The company, through its counsel, had been praying the panel to allow it to take over the plaza for repair and insurance claims since December 2020.

The prayer of the LCC was answered on Thursday when the panel gave the company access to reopen the toll gate. The report of the forensic examination, which was m...

Marilyn Manson Dropped by Longtime Manager Tony Ciulla: Report
Ciulla began managing Manson around 1996, the same year he released his breakthrough album, Antichrist Superstar. The two met while Ciulla was working at Trent Reznor’s Nothing Records in the early 1990s, when Manson’s band was signed by the label. Though Manson and Ciulla’s professional relationship has weathered a number of serious controversies over the past 25 years, the tide appears to have turned following Wood’s accusation that Manson “horrifically abused” her for years after the two met when Wood was 18 and Manson was 36. The pair announced their relationship in Jan. 2007 and were briefly engaged in 2010. “The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” Wood wrote on Instagram Monday. “He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifi...
U.S. backs Okonjo-Iweala, first woman and African, to head WTO
Crisis averted: Yoo’s withdrawal signals the end of months of uncertainty over who will lead the WTO for at least the next four years. Yoo and Okonjo-Iweala were the last candidates from an initial field of eight and the first women to be seriously considered for the role. Roberto Azevêdo of Brazil stepped down as director-general in August, a year before his term expired. “It is particularly important to underscore that two highly qualified women made it to the final round of consideration for the position of WTO Director General — the first time that any woman has made it to this stage in the history of the institution,” the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative wrote Friday in an unattributed statement. Late last month, the administration signaled its support for quickly i...

Racism at the UN: Internal audit reveals deep-rooted problems
In the words of a former senior official at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA): “When you start working at the UN, an institution that was entirely conceived and founded on the basis of equality and human rights, you never imagine this kind of behaviour. Some of my colleagues dropped hints about the culture there when I began my job. But I was in denial until I was personally confronted with discrimination. I’ll never forget the disrespectful looks some people would give me and the colleagues who’d make up bogus excuses to leave meetings I was presiding over.” Source You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
