Governor Sanwo-Olu: Lagos can’t afford another total lockdown
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says the state cannot afford another total lockdown amid the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 on Friday said there were indications that the country had entered a second wave of the pandemic. “In Nigeria, the indication is that we have entered a second wave of infections, and we stand the risk of not just losing the gains from the hard work of the last nine months, but also losing the precious lives of our citizens”, Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, who represented Boss Mustapha, chairman of the PTF, said. Sanwo-Olu, who went into isolation last Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19, advised residents to adhere to health protocol and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to help limit the ...
Ford’s Forgotten ’70s Mid-Engined Rally Prototype: The Fascinating GT70
Gotcha! Never heard of the Ford GT70? We’re not surprised; Ford built only six GT70 prototypes built before it canned the program in the early 1970s. Rabid, well-informed Ford fans know Ford of Europe is essentially a semi-autonomous unit operating under the greater Ford umbrella; it develops its own cars, trucks, and vans for consumption across the pond. Occasionally, us Yanks get a crack at some European product—the prior Focus, Fiesta, and today’s Transit van being examples—but we were never privy to some of Ford’s hotter European stuff, including the awesome Ford Escort. See all 7 photos Underneath Ford of Europe’s purview, Ford U.K. made quite the name for itself on the big-time rally stage in the late 1960s, chalking up wins across the continent in the mini-bu...
The Pagani Huayra Tricolore Is a $6.75 Million Groundbound Fighter Jet
Just like the Zonda before it, only three examples of the Huayra Tricolore will be built, and each is going for $6.75 million a pop. For a little context, the Zonda Tricolore sold for “just” $1.47 million when it was new, a comparative bargain. The Huayra has been changed extensively for the Tricolore special edition, though. The body is a blue carbon-fiber weave with blue accents for the headlights, blue detailing on the wheels, and the red, white, and green tricolore stripes flowing down the sides of the car. Pagani also fits a new front splitter and rear diffuser for added downforce, as well as a new front bumper designed to guide cool air directly to the engine, per the automaker. Other exterior details include rear wing supports shaped to mimic the tailfin of the Aerm...

Keys commented, “Blessings and more blessings!!!!” and Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Flea sent his love in the form of heart emojis. Ashe, meanwhile, couldn’t get over the “casual Hans Zimmer cameo.” Melii and Quenlin Blackwell also wished the “bad guy” singer a good one. The rapper reshared Eilish’s shots from her latest Billboard cover alongside Interscope Records CEO John Janick and fellow Interscope artists Selena Gomez and DaBaby. “@billieeilish happy birthday baby girl love you !!!and congratulations punk!” she wrot...
2024 Canoo MPDV First Look: Square-Deal EV Delivery
The folks responsible for the Canoo EV, the Los Angeles-based firm whose stated aim is to free customers from the shackles of vehicle ownership, are now hard at work on an electric multi-purpose delivery van aimed at dramatically lowering the total cost of operation for small businesses, last-mile delivery companies, independent contractors, utilities, service technicians, and more. Behold the 2024 Canoo MPDV1 and MPDV2. Both will be based on the same flat and low skateboard chassis that underpins the Canoo EV (like that vehicle, the wheelbases of the MPDV1 and MPDV2 measure in at 112.2 inches). It employs a steel frame and a low-profile control-arm-type suspension with transverse leaf springs front and rear. Steering and braking are both “by wire,” and the vehicle fe...
Chevrolet Traverse, Equinox Go Dark With New Midnight, Sport Editions
According to Chevrolet, their blacked-out trim packages are the candy everybody wants. Last year, 20 percent of Chevrolet Trax buyers chose either the Midnight or Sport packages, and one-third of Chevy Blazers went out the door with the RS package. So, guess what that means? More Midnight, more Sport, and more RS packages! Blacked-out trim for everyone! Don’t want your Traverse quite that murder-y? Then you’ll want the Sport Edition, which gives you a choice of paint colors all garnished with black for the grille, fog light bezels, wheels, roof rails, and badging. Both trim packages are available on LS and LT trim levels. Traverse Premiere buyers, meanwhile, can still get the not-quite-as-blacked-out Redline package. The RS trim package (which, back in the day, stood for Rally ...

Your Dad’s Fave Brand Has Become the Ultimate Fashion Status Symbol
I’ve lived near the Peak District for a lot of my life. It is renowned for attracting walkers, hikers, climbers, cyclists and pretty much any outdoor activity you can think of. I also lived in South London for four years out of the 10 I lived in the capital. While the comparisons aren’t exactly easy to come by or particularly obvious, I know there’s one thing that brings the two places together: The North Face. Outdoor sports enthusiasts wear the label on Stanage Edge, as do teenagers in Brixton. Believe it or not but the brand has become the ultimate fashion status symbol. This is probably news to your dad and anyone else who wouldn’t consider themselves to be bothered about fashion (no disrespect to the dads who are super stylish). I’m not completely su...
From Plaits to Grown-Out Roots, We Look Back at Margot Robbie’s Hairstyles
From Suicide Squad to Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie is considered a chameleon actor in Hollywood. Off-screen, it’s hard to ignore that the Australian beauty has also nailed her makeup and hair looks over the years, providing some serious hair-inspiration. From plaits to grown-out roots, Margot Robbie’s blonde tresses are a constant feature on our hair mood boards (There was even the lesser documented brunette stint, but she’s been blonde ever-since.) Of course, Margot can’t get all the credit for her stunning hair moments. Her talented glam team, including Chanel makeup artist Pati Dubroff and hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, has created a series of memorable moments for red carpets to press events. Some of the hairstyles seem low-maintenance for us to try...

2021 Audi SQ5 First Drive: Best of Both Worlds
Audi SQ5 Full Overview It seems like it was just yesterday that I was driving the 2020 Audi SQ7 on Angeles Crest Highway before the blazing Bobcat Fire tore through that area of the San Gabriel Mountains this summer. That three-row family SUV perfectly blends sportiness with the comfort that enthusiast parents are looking for. Yet, the 2021 Audi SQ5 is the popular family member. The Q5 lineup represents about 25 percent of Audi’s sales in the U.S., and with three variants available—the regular Q5 TFSI, the efficient Q5 PHEV, and the sporty SQ5—the German brand is covering its bases well in today’s most popular segment. For the 2021 model year, the SQ5 is getting a midcycle refresh that continues where the Q5 TFSI left off. With a turbocharged V-6, Quattro all-wheel drive, and a...
