Looking Back On the Career of Racehorse LagostoVegas

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp In front of Queen Elizabeth II, Lagostovegas ran in the historic Ascot Stakes Handicap on the opening day of this June horse racing festival.     LagostoVegas the record breaker Irish-bred mare Lagostovegas enjoyed a number of big days out at the major horse racing festivals in the UK and Ireland during a 35-race career. Named after the most populous city in Nigeria and largest city in Africa, but also the spiritual home of American gambling, it was only fitting that she competed on the track in this popular betting sport, really. Lagostovegas ran over hurdles and on the flat, first for David Harry Kelly and then with more notable success for Willie Mullins. She joined his Closutton stables in County Carlow, Ireland during the spring of 2017 with official ratings of 124 and 72 for the respective codes. It is remarkable that, less than a year later, Lagostovegas outran Cheltenham odds of 22/1 and finished fifth in the County Hurdle on the final day of the Festival held there every March. In the opinion of the handicapper, she had improved 22lbs, virtually 10kg, over hurdles just for being trained by Mullins in those months leading up to that major meet. Over the previous summer and autumn, Lagostovegas won graded handicaps at Killarney and the Listowel Harvest Festival that set her up for a tilt the Cesarewitch Heritage Handicap on the Flat at Newmarket. That track styles itself as the headquarters of British Flat horse racing, because the town and its environs are a real equine hub. Mullins clearly meant business in his quest to win the £155,000 first prize as he booked leading Flat jockey Ryan Moore for the ride on Lagostovegas. Her pedigree, she was sired by Classic winner Footstepsinthesand out of a Montjeu mare, always suggested there was a big race to be won with her without jumping obstacles. From a massive 34-runner field, Lagostovegas made the show in the 2017 Cesarewitch. She was beaten just over eight lengths by Withhold, a horse belonging to Brighton & Hove Albion FC chairman Tony Bloom.  His colors were also carried to victory at Cheltenham by Mullins stable companion Penhill at consecutive Festivals in the Albert Bartlett for novices and Stayers' Hurdle of 2018. That second win came the day before Lagosvegas herself competed at the Prestbury Park track. After going so close in two valuable handicaps for Mullins, connections kept the faith that a big pot was within reach for Lagostovegas. Although she didn't fire over hurdles at the Punchestown Festival, her trainer had his eyes on Royal Ascot, the premier Flat meet in Britain. In front of Queen Elizabeth II, Lagostovegas ran in the historic Ascot Stakes Handicap on the opening day of this June horse racing festival. One of the longest distance events on the Flat, the race went to other horses trained by Mullins in 2012, 2015 and 2017.  The Ascot Stakes has been a popular choice for horses returning from hurdles who enjoy firmer ground to race on. Lagostovegas was sent off a 10/1 chance for her moment in the sun. Under a hands and heels ride from Italian jockey Andrea Atzeni, she was a length up on Dubawi Fifty at the line and wrote her name into the pages of Royal Ascot history. There was a £56,000 prize for first place too, with Mullins also saddling the third, fourth and fifth horses home. Such a versatile mare, Lagostovegas had casual fans from Nigeria who followed her more for her name than form. Her last race came on Irish Champions Weekend of 2018 at Leopardstown, finishing way down the field in the Pentigo Handicap and, with that, quite some Nigerian interest in the sport has waned.

Technology Which Changed The Smartphone World Forever

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp As we now move into 2021, we are blessed with a world that is dominated by technology due to just how fast that technology has advanced over time.   The main technology in which we as consumers are so reliant on these days is that of our smartphones which have become an integral of our everyday lives with many of us now being able to go about our everyday lives without the use of our smartphones. Smartphones have come a long way since their first introduction onto the scene and has been due to a number of factors, some of which we investigate below. [Image: T3] One of the major factors into why smartphones became so successful was due to the touchscreen technology which surprisingly was first shown on the market back in 1992 on the IBM Simon. Although, it wasn’t this phone that was able to benefit from the touchscreen technology and it wasn’t into the original iPhone was released in 2007 that it was normalised on the market and that they used the technology in the right way and paved the way for touch screens to be the norm for all smartphones. Can you actually imagine your phone without a touchscreen now? However, if we are going to talk of important of which technology changed the smartphone forever though then the seamless roaming whether that be 3G, 4G or now even 5G which has enabled smartphone users to be able to use the internet on the go and don’t have to rely on Wi-Fi to be able to do so. This is something that maybe we take for granted but some industries have been able to use this connectivity to their advantage, especially these credit card casinos which are now experiencing a whole host of new gamblers on their avenues who are playing on the go whether that be out and about, on the commute or even at work, it has ensured that they are able to benefit from the seamless roaming. And finally, and possible one of the most impressive bits of technology that we have seen introduced onto smartphones in recent times is facial recognition which has now allowed for a more secure environment for smartphone users as they now know that the only way for their phone to be unlocked is through their unique face. Not only that, but can be used to download apps, unlock applications or even pay for things through your face and has certainly been one of the most revolutionary bits of technology added to the smartphone

He added that the incident occurred at Obeira police check point, Okene area of Kogi State, adding that the three armed policemen killed eight out of 10 occupants in the vehicle, while Badmus and one Muideen Mustapha, a co-petitioner escaped. His word, “On that fateful day, I chartered a bus from Osogbo to Benue, but the driver took another eight passengers along the way who were going to Katsina State to buy rams because it was during Salah festival. “But when we got to Obeira, Okene axis of Kogi State, we met three fully-armed policemen on our way. The driver stopped and they accosted us, but when the officers saw huge amount of money in our possession to purchase rams, they started misbehaving and asked us to follow them. “We were deceived by the erring police operatives because they told us we were going to a station, not knowing they were taking us to the forest. They tied our hands and one of the passengers that attempted to escape was gunned down immediately. “They poured petrol on us with an intention to set us ablaze. But when they ran after one of us that attempted to run, it was in that instance that I struggled to escape with one other passenger. Unfortunately, the remaining passengers were burnt to death, including the driver. “When the matter was reported in the news and the police started the investigation, then I showed up to follow up the matter and gave evidence. I assisted the police to arrest the three officers and they were charged to court. “The three policemen were Benjamin Oyekhire; Jimoh Michael and Gershon Soba. The case was taken to Lokoja High Court where they were sentenced to death by hanging. “Although I didn’t follow up the matter, I later learned that the officers went to Court of Appeal and Supreme courts where the lower court judgment was upheld. “I can’t say if the three condemned officers were eventually sentenced as ordered by the hierarchy of the Courts. However, I was not too satisfied with the judgment because killing them was not enough justice. None of the victims was compensated since the incident occurred twenty years ago. That is why I approached the panel for due compensation”, he added. Corroborating the testimony, Muideen, the owner of the burnt Toyota Liteace with registration No Osun XB 104 SGB and a younger brother of the deceased driver, Mr. Dauda Ajani, told the panel the number of times they travelled down to Kogi State because of the case to give credence to the evidence tendered before the panel. The counsel for the petitioners, Barrister J.O. Babalola, prayed the court to award his clients a total sum of N125million as compensation to cushion the negative effect of all they had suffered to the incident. According to him, N100million was requested as compensation for the family of the late Rafiu Ajani, the driver of the bus that was burnt, saying the deceased was the sole bread winner of his family and was survived by dependants which include aged mother, three wives and five children. He further appealed to the panel to award the second petitioner, Mr. Sulaimon Badmus, who escaped from the police a total sum of N20million as compensation for losing all his capital aimed to purchase rams, just as he also urged the panel to award a sum of N5million to one Mr. Mustapha Muideen, the owner of the bus that was burnt. Ruling in the case, the Chairman of the Panel, Justice Akin Oladimeji (rtd), asked the petitioners’ counsel to prepare his final address for adoption and adjourned the case to March 5, 2021.

Those who have been congratulated by Buhari include: Nigeria’s first female newspaper editor and former Managing Director, Concord Press Nigeria Limited, Dr. Doyin Abiola, who clocked 75 on February 1; Prof of African Religion, Jacob Olupona, who turned 70 on February 6 and veteran journalist and Fellow, Nigerian Guild of Editors, Olusoji Akinrinade, who clocked 70 on February 9. Others who the President sent out salutations to include- former acting Governor of Taraba State, Sen. Sani Danladi who clocked 53 on February 14; a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Gen. Jeremiah Useni, who turned 78 on February 16; and a former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius, who turned 60 on February 19, 2021. A birthday message sent to Anyim which was signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, read in part, “President Muhammadu Buhari sends warm greetings to former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, on his 60th birthday, February 19, 2021, joining family members and friends to celebrate with the political leader, whose rise in public service remains commendable. “The President congratulates the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation on his many milestones, particularly becoming Senate President at a relatively young age, and handling the responsibility with maturity and wisdom.” The President, however, did not wish his wife, Aisha, who attained the milestone age of 50, a happy birthday on February 17, 2021. Aisha has been in Dubai for over five months where her aides claim she is receiving medical treatment. She has been having a running battle with the President’s aides and close relatives in recent time. In 2019 she accused the President’s nephew, Mamman Daura, of hijacking the Presidency, adding that the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had even issued statements on behalf of the President without his knowledge but based on instructions from Daura. In 2020, passions reached a climax when security aides to a relative and Personal Assistant to the President, Tunde Sabiu, fired shots inside the Presidential Villa during an altercation with Aisha’s aides. The first lady has since September 2020 left the Presidential Villa and has remained in Dubai. It, however, remains unclear why the President did not celebrate his wife on her 50th birthday. Aisha was, however, congratulated by Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his wife, Ibijoke; Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; wife of Imo State Governor, Chioma Uzodimma; wife of Osun State Governor, Kafayat Oyetola; wife of Nasarawa State Governor, Silifat Abdullahi; SA to the President on African First Ladies Peace Mission, Mairo Tanko-Almakura; and former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, among others. Incidentally, Aisha had on December 17, 2020, congratulated her husband on his birthday, saying, “Happy Birthday to my incorruptible GMB. I wish you Allah’s guidance, protection and good health to continue steering the affairs of our dear nation. Long live GMB. Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

MFM’s Olukoya Wins N500m Defamation Suit Against UK-based Nigerian Blogger (Photo)

Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp A court has slammed N500 million damages against a UK-based Nigerian blogger over defamatory publications against MFM's founder.   MFM wins defamation case against blogger   A Nigerian blogger based in the United Kingdom, Maureen Badejo has found herself in serious trouble.   This comes after Justice Abiodun Akinyemi of an Ogun State High Court in Abeokuta slammed N500 million damages against her for publishing libellous publications against the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (Worldwide), Dr Daniel Olukoya, and the church.   The Court also granted “a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant by herself, her agents, servants, privies or other persons howsoever called or described from further making, publishing and/or disseminating defamatory stories and statements about the claimants or any one of them.”   The Judge described the report as the worst case of reckless defamation and evil use of the internet and social media.   Badejo, the anchorperson in the Facebook-GIO TV, had published what the Incorporated Trustees of the MFM and Olukoya described as 52 lies.   She was said to have reported that Olukoya defrauded the government of the United States by selling his books in America without paying the due tax on the books.   GIO TV, among others, had reported that a particular Pastor from MFM in the UK paid the sum of £150,000 into the personal account of Olukoya and then went to Nigeria to meet the cleric so he could help him cover up his fraud.   But delivering his ruling in a N10 billion libel suit filed by Ime Nya Asanga (lawyer to the plaintiffs), Justice Akinyemi awarded N250 million to each of the claimants, making a total of N500 million as aggravated and exemplary damages for libel.   The Judge also ordered Badejo to “immediately pull down and erase each of the offending online publications/posts concerning the claimants from the internet”.   She was also ordered to “tender a written apology and retraction of the offending publications and posts in a form and content acceptable to the claimants and published prominently in her Facebook, YouTube and Instagram accounts and in at least three nationally circulating Newspapers in Nigeria and two international magazines including TIME International, forthwith.”   The Spokesperson of Olukoya, Collins Edomaruse, quoted Asanga on Saturday as saying that a certified true copy of the judgment and its certificate with Form 35 endorsed thereon, had been served via DHL courier with proof of service which indicated that Badejo had received the court ruling.   He explained that Ogun State High Court Form 35 titled ‘Notice Of Consequence of Disobedience To Order Of Court’ was an endorsement by the Registrar on the Certificate of Judgment.   According to him, unless the judgment debtor obeys the directions contained therein, he/she would be guilty of contempt of court and will be liable to be committed to prison.   “If, after February 18, 2021, the defendant should make any other broadcast defamatory of the claimants or any one of them, contempt proceedings, which are criminal in nature, will immediately be commenced against her,” the lawyer clarified.

Ravel Morrison Ravel Morrison, a former Manchester United player, has revealed how he used to steal Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney’s boots from the club’s dressing room in order to sell them to provide food for his family. Morrison, seen as one of the brightest young stars in Manchester United academy and rated highly by legendary United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, made the confession during Rio Ferdinand’s Five podcast. Morrison saw his stay at Manchester United cut short before he could realise his potential. “You used to get like £250 for a pair of boots. You take two pairs of boots, you get £500 and you go home and buy your family a Chinese or something,” he explained. “You guys[Rooney and Ferdinand] used to get like 30 pairs of boots. I didn’t mean it to cause so much harm but when I used to see yours or Rooney’s deliveries, you’d get 20-30 pairs at a time, I was thinking one pair to put some food on the table at home, I didn’t think it would be a big problem but obviously, now I know.” When Morrison left United in 2012, he joined West Ham United and the London side loaned him out to Birmingham City. The Jamaican also represented Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City on loan before moving to Italy to join Lazio on a permanent deal.

Nigerian musician, Davido has earned another accolade to his name after TIME listed him among 100 next global influential leaders. Davido   TIME Magazine's list of 100 Next Influential Leaders of 2021 has been released.   One exceptional Nigerian, Davido made the list.   The singer whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke achieved a remarkable milestone with the new feat.   The 2021 TIME100 Next issue features six worldwide covers, each highlighting a member of the list: performer Dua Lipa, actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, athlete Marcus Rashford, Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin, fashion designer Telfar Clemens, and author Brit Bennett.   Writing about Davido, TIME noted:  " Davido is one of the biggest voices in Afrobeats because his music connects with people, often in ways that transcend his expectations. When he released the song “FEM” in 2020, a title that loosely translates to “shut up” in Yoruba, he didn’t know it would become a major #EndSARS protest anthem, as youth banded together to demand the government take action to end police brutality in Nigeria last October. Officials responded by sending politicians to give speeches. We told the government to keep quiet unless they had something sensible to add—the ethos of “FEM” was directly relatable to that moment. You can tell Davido puts 100% into every song he makes. And the results are clear: his album A Good Time surpassed a billion streams in 2020. Afrobeats is a worldwide phenomenon, and Davido is one of many Nigerian artists who has made that possible; now more and more artists, from Nicki Minaj to Young Thug, want to work with him. By bringing Afrobeats to the global stage, he’s paved the way for people like me."
