8 Can’t-Miss Moments From the 2020 CMA Awards
The CMAs instituted a strict COVID-19 protocol complete with rigorous testing. Even given the latest surge, it was still a surprise that prior to the show’s kick off Lee Brice, Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard, fiddle player Jenee Fleenor and the members of Lady A had all pulled out of their performances because they or someone in their family had tested positive. During the show, Rascal Flatts posted that they too were absent because an unspecified band member had tested positive. Hopefully the safeguards the CMAs put in place will mean we’re not hearing about more positive results over the next week or so given the largely unmasked audience. Despite the big-name absences, the show still provided several top-notch appearances that reinforced that most country artists don’t need bells ...

2023: Senator Akpanudoedehe denies saying he is APC Akwa Ibom governorship candidate
Sen. James Akpanudoedehe, Secretary, All Progressives Congress Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has denied media reports credited to him, saying he was the APC 2023 governorship candidate for Akwa Ibom. He debunked the report on Wednesday in Abuja in a statement, adding that building a strong APC in Akwa Ibom was paramount to him and should be the concern of all loyal party members. Akpanudoedehe described the media report as a misrepresentation of facts, stressing that the party had to be rooted in the state for anybody to use it as veritable platform to pursue his or her political ambitions. “What we are asking from all APC stakeholders in Akwa Ibom is that we all need to come together to build APC in our state and in the entire South South geopolitical z...
Keith Urban Dedicates ‘God Whispered Your Name’ to Frontline Workers at 2020 CMA Awards
“It’s really a song about not having to go it alone.” That’s Keith Urban talking about his single “God Whispered Your Name” prior to performing the track at the 2020 CMA Awards, underlining its importance in a year where community and connection have never been more important. The entertainer of the year nominee performed the single remotely — as CMAs co-host Reba McEntire put it while introducing Urban, “He’s down under in Australia tonight, but we couldn’t do this show without him.” After introducing “God Whispered Your Name” and dedicating the performance to the sacrifice made by frontline workers around the world in 2020, Urban proceeded to give the single a stripped-down presentation, performing solo with an acoustic guitar and letting his lyrics guide him.

Maren Morris Sparkles With ‘The Bones’ at 2020 CMA Awards
Maren Morris glittered like a star during her performance of “The Bones” at the 2020 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 11). The singer, sparkling in a sequined deep-cut V-neck gown, began her hit song with the image of a crescent moon behind her, her five backing band members performing from socially distanced spots on stage alongside her. “When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter/ Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter/ Let it rain ’cause you and I remain the same,” sang the 30-year-old, who had already won two trophies when she took the stage to perform. “When there ain’t a crack in the foundation/ Baby, I know any storm we’re facing/ Will blow right over while we stay put/ The house don’t fall when the bones are ...

Kelsea Ballerini made the Music City Center stage her own at the 2020 CMA Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 11) with a winning performance of “Hole in the Bottle.” Wearing a top hat and Cabaret-reminiscent pantsuit, Ballerini led a barnstorming rendition of the latest hit from her Kelsea set. “All right CMA Awards, let’s go!” she shouted before the song’s bridge guitar solo, one of the most energizing live moments of the three-hour ceremonies.

Minister: Broadband subscriptions increased by 4,061,731 in October
Home Telecom Broadband penetration in Nigeria increased to 45.43 per cent by the end of October 2020, the Federal Government announced on Wednesday. Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, said the rise was due to an increase of 4,061,731 broadband subscriptions between September and October 2020. He said the implementation of the National Digital Economy Policy led to the rise in broadband subscriptions across the country during the review month. Pantami, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja by his Technical Assistant, Information Technology, Femi Adeluyi, observed that the Nigerian National Broadband Plan 2020-2025 had impacted significantly on broadband penetration. The minister noted that the plan was implemented alongside the harmonisation of Right-of...
US election: Donald Trump makes first appearance since ‘defeat’
US President Donald Trump makes his first official post-election appearance Wednesday for what should be a moment of national unity to mark Veteran’s Day, now marred by his refusal to acknowledge Joe Biden’s win. The president visited Arlington National Cemetery around 11:00 am, four days after US media projected his Democratic rival would take the White House. Since then he has not addressed the nation other than via Twitter, and has not conceded to Biden, as is traditional once a winner is projected in a US vote. And with Covid-19 cases shattering records across the country and states imposing new restrictions in a push to contain the virus before winter arrives, Trump seems to have all but shelved normal presidential duties. Instead, he has remained shut up inside the presidential mansi...
