Endocrinologist Olorogun Sunny Kuku understands the powerful symbolism of the number 3, which is generally believed to be an omen of creativity, communication, and optimism. The co-chairman of Eko Hospital was recently announced as the new Ogbeni-Oja of Ijebu land by the revered Awujale of Ijebu, Oba Sikiru Adetona.

Ngcebetsha said that apart from improved productivity, AI would enhance creativity and evolve mundane tasks, among others. “As against the misconception of AI taking over jobs, after improved productivity, empowering AI rather than job loss comes next for business leaders. “After ‘increasing productivity’, leaders’ top hopes for AI are to help employees with necessary but repetitive tasks and increase employee wellbeing. She said that as journalists, AI helped to improve productivity, enhance creativity, and provide the workflow that was needed.

The Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire suffered the heaviest defeat by a host team in the history of AFCON. They were dead and buried as far as the average Ivorian was concerned after their match against Equatorial Guinea. So, they sacked the coach and beat up the players in public. What are their chances as they face the best team of the group stage on Sunday? The players are dispirited and frustrated, with a slim and near-impossible task of defeating Senegal and restoring everything they have lost.

A young woman walked in with an elderly Oyibo man (white man) and a teenage girl not more than 15 years old. Parents know that the only way to truly empower a child is by educating them/training them and not busy pushing children into all sorts, thereby stealing their childhood from them. This goes for parents (especially mothers) who are shooing their underaged children into social media fame with unimaginable desperation. Can such parents boast of a similar disposition or energy towards the academics of these children? I admit my bias towards people who turn their back on parents for whatever reason but I am also beginning to realize that some people are really not lucky with the kind of parents they received from life.

The National Coordinator of the 2023 No Alternative to Tinubu, Shettima, Vincent Uba, has condemned the criticisms that greeted the announcement of the relocation of some institutions by the Federal Government from the Federal Capital Territory. This followed the recent report that the government would relocate the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria from its headquarters in Abuja to Lagos. Uba told Saturday PUNCH that there was no big deal in the relocation of these government agencies, stressing that the criticisms were a debate of calumny. He said, “In every civilised and developed clime, headquarters and all departments of the Federal Government agencies are not necessarily cited in the federal capital. Uba added that the idea for relocation was to ensure the agencies live up to their expectations.

The United Nations court for handling disputes between states was ruling in a case brought by South Africa and issued an interim ruling that Israel must take all measures to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza. The ruling required Israel to prevent and punish any public incitements to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and to preserve evidence related to any allegations of genocide there. South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa said he expected Israel to abide by its ruling that it take measures to prevent genocide against the people of Gaza.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says It was our place to get involved and that the ICJ’s ruling must be respected by all who recognise the court, including Israel. Speaking after the court’s ruling on the application brought by his country, Ramaphosa says South Africa expects Israel, “as a self-proclaimed democracy, and as a state that respects the rule of law,” to abide by the ruling. “Some have told us we should mind our own business and not get involved in the affairs of other countries and yet it is very much our place as the people who know too well the pain of dispossession, discrimination, state-sponsored violence,” he said. He said following the ruling, there should be more effort towards a ceasefire, and an end to the conflict through a two-state solution that would grant Palestinians self-determination. https://tribuneonlineng.com/icj-orders-israel-to-halt-killings-in-gaza-but-no-cease-fire/YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THESE HEADLINES FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNEI receive threats over comment on powerful Nigerians behind banditry, illegal mining — AlakeMinister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, has confirmed that following his comment on how powerful Nigerians are funding banditry associated with…Why Abba Kyari fought me till death — Femi AdesinaFormer presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has revealed the behind the scene intrigues that set him up against…OFFCUT: Remove subsidy, give us prepaid meters, Nigerians react to 700bn electricity subsidyNigerians have reacted to the huge amount of money used by the Federal Government to…I was doing poorly in class until…— Afe BabalolaThe founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), stated that he was doing poorly in class until…

The Supreme Court has upheld the five years sentence handed to former House of Representatives member, Farouk Lawan, by the Court of Appeal for bribery. In 2021, Lawan was convicted and sentenced to prison for accepting $500,000 bribe from Chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited, Femi Otedola. Lawan’s appeal requested to set aside the February 24, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja. The court sentenced him to five years and discharged him on two out of the three counts on the corruption charge brought against him by the Federal Government. In the lead judgment read by Justice Tijjani Abubakar, the Supreme Court held that Lawan’s appeal was without merit and went on to dismiss it.

The UK has halted trade talks with Canada, with discussions breaking down after a disagreement over beef and cheese. A UK government spokesperson said: “We have always said we will only negotiate trade deals that deliver for the British people. The UK had been trading with Canada on terms that largely replicated the arrangements in place from the UK’s time in the EU. Before Britain left the EU at the end of 2020, Canada rolled over existing trade arrangements to ensure free trade could continue. Minette Batters, the president of the National Farmers’ Union of England and Wales, said the stopping of the trade talks was “a relief for farmers”.
