Rihanna is dating her longtime friend, rapper A$AP Rocky after months of romance rumors, according to PEOPLE. The news comes after the pair, both 32, were spotted having dinner with friends at the Beatrice Inn in New York over the weekend. 
A source told The Sun : "They shared a hotel suite during that trip in New York. However, Rihanna is reluctant to put a label on it as it’s so soon after Hassan. "They’re really enjoying each other’s company and taking things easy as it’s still early days." The couple has sparked romance rumors since Rihanna split from her boyfriend of three years, billionaire Hassan Jameel, in January. Then, The Sun reported that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had been seeing each other, but a source told E! that she was still single. In July, Rihanna featured the "Everyday" rapper in her Fenty Skin campaign. The duo did several interviews together to promote the collaboration. In videos for GQ and Vogue featuring the two, Rihanna and A$AP answered several questions including how they take care of their skin. "My skin type is just as complicated as men are," Rihanna jokingly said when A$AP Rocky asked about her skin type for Vogue. "Y'all always try to say women are complicated [but] it's y'all!" When Rihanna asked the rapper what his own skin is like, he answered: "Handsome." In the GQ video, the rapper also revealed the "hardest part" about working with Rihanna. "I think the hardest part about working with you is not goofin’ off and laughing the whole time. Like this s— is comedy," he said. "That's the hardest part. You know, people be so cool it's hard not to, not to laugh. That's all. But it was fun. The hardest part is not having too much fun. You just forget that it's still work at the end of the day." A$AP Rocky and Rihanna who have been friends for a while now, were also seen attending a Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris back in 2018. The rapper has previously dated celebrities such as Kendall Jenner in 2017 and Brazilian model Daiane Sodré last year.The post Rihanna reportedly dating her longtime friend A$AP Rocky after months of romance rumors appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.source http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2020/12/rihanna-reportedly-dating-her-longtime-friend-aap-rocky-after-months-of-romance-rumors.html

Football legend, Diego Maradona reportedly suffered a head injury after a fall at his home a week before he died from a heart attack but was never taken to the hospital. Italian newspaper La Repubblica claim that the Argentine icon who had only recently had surgery on his brain to remove a blood clot, was not taken for a scan after falling and hitting his head at home. A lawyer representing a nurse who worked for Maradona is reported to have said: 'Maradona fell to the ground seven days before his death. He fell and hit his head but they didn't take him to the hospital for an MRI or a CT scan.' The shocking revelation comes as Maradona's personal doctor Leopoldo Luque is being probed over medical negligence as police launch an investigation into his death. The report also confirmed speculation that Maradona was alone in his house in Buenos Aires when he died from a heart attack aged 60. An autopsy report said he died in his sleep after suffering heart failure. Medics also detected dilated cardiomyopathy, a medical condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged and cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body.The same nurse's lawyer also said that she had spoken with Maradona on the Friday before his death but was fired on Saturday.According to her lawyer, she remained at the request of Maradona's entourage to administer his medication but was no longer taking his blood pressure or controlling him.On Sunday, police raided the home of Maradona's physician Luque and investigators are looking into all the medical staff involved with his care after his daughters Dalma and Giannina gave statements questioning whether the medication their father was receiving was appropriate. Repubblica are also reporting that documents have emerged showing that Dr. Cosachov had requested 24-hour specialist and nursing assistance for the former Argentina star before his death but Luque didn't not arranged for that to happen. On Monday Luque addressed these claims and told reporters that Maradona was 'unmanageable' and should have been sent to rehab. He said: 'I was shocked when police turned up at my door. I'm going to co-operate fully.'I know what I did and what I did was for Diego's benefit until the last moment. I did the best I could.'I feel terrible because a friend died. I don't blame myself for anything. It's very unfair what's happening.'I didn't see Diego's daughters a lot but the rest of his family, his siblings and his nephews adore me.'Someone is trying to find a scapegoat here when I don't see one anywhere.'We all did the best we could with Diego.'

Former Presidential candidate, Kingsley Moghalu has lashed out at the Buhari-led adminstration over the killing of 43 farmers by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno state. In tweets he shared, the economist expressed fear of Nigeria becoming a failed state. He also said that ''a government which can’t protect the lives of its citizens, spends all its energy attempting to suppress #EndSARS peaceful protesters.'' Moghalu wrote; “The barbaric beheading of 43 Nigerians in Zabarmari village in Borno State by Boko Haram is a national outrage and tragedy. It’s increasingly clear that @NigeriaGov is unable to protect the lives of Nigerians. What does that mean? Our country is becoming a failed state.“It is a travesty that a government that can’t protect the lives of its citizens spends all its energy attempting to suppress #EndSARS peaceful protesters, freezing their bank accounts and bringing spurious legal charges.”Our government and our Central Bank call peaceful citizens financiers of terrorism” while the real terrorists are having a field day with Nigerian lives and no one apparently can stop them and their real financiers. It is a national shame.“The real challenge we face: Can Nigeria survive until 2023 without a massive implosion? #NoSecurity #NoEconomy. What’s left? #Restructuring."

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has reacted to the calls for restructuring which was recently reignited by the Governors in the South-South region he comes from. The former Governor of Rivers state who spoke in an interview on Channels Television stated that while the calls for restructuring of the country may not be bad, however tackling hunger and poverty is more critical to the federal government. Amaechi said; “If to you what is important is restructuring, I don’t see anything wrong with restructuring but I am saying it is not the most critical problem we have. “The most critical problem we have is that hunger and poverty are breeding insecurity.“If you are able to create employment, you create security. If you like hire as many men as you want to hire that are policemen, you would do nothing until you put food in the hands of people. “When you do not create a legitimate economy, the people will create for themselves an illegitimate economy and be able to feed themselves.” Admitting that many farmers are unable to go to their farms in some parts of the country, the APC chieftain said Nigeria is facing a kind of insecurity unlike what was obtainable in the past. Amaechi added; “We are facing a different kind of insecurity. “When we were in power as governors, the problem we were facing was Boko Haram. Not is it much more than Boko Haram. We need to address those issues.”The post

The Nigerian Governors’ Forum has reacted to the killing of rice farmers in Borno State by Boko Haram insurgents. NGF Chairman and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi who described the killing as “obnoxious, wicked, unwarranted and morally reprehensible”, added that it raises serious questions on the general security situation in the country and around the capability of the nation’s security architecture. Noting that the forum would “collectively review these issues” at its next meeting to forge the way forward, Fayemi further stated that Boko Haram has been carrying out attacks each time it seems the situation is getting under control. He said; “This sad narrative raises serious questions on the general security situation in the country and around the capability of the nation’s security architecture.“Since insurgency engulfed the country more than a decade ago, each time it seems like the situation is coming under control, the enemy strikes again. This has happened consistently. “The farmers were attacked while harvesting their produce totally oblivious of the danger that awaits them in nearby bushes. This method is consistent with the senseless bombings of busy markets, bus stations, schools and abattoirs whenever the terrorists feel overpowered by the security operatives or feel their backs against the wall.“Governors are concerned that the carnage is degenerating beyond explicable limits, yet again, and the catalogue of destruction is not only seeming to be endless and intractable but it has an adverse effect on everything in the state and the country at large.” The Northern Governors Forum also condemned the killing of the rice farmers. Chairman of the forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong averred that the entire country was deeply saddened over the killing of the innocent rice farmers who committed no crime except going to the farm to earn a living. He described it as a great setback to the efforts of Nigeria to attain domestic sufficiency in rice production as well as food security. The post

His office said Sunday that Biden will see a doctor “out of an abundance of caution.” Biden fractured his right foot while playing with one of his dogs, an injury discovered in a scan Sunday and that will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said. Biden visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon November 29, his office said.“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said. Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden rescued Major in 2018, making it the first shelter dog to occupy the White House . The German Shepherd is their second of two dogs. Biden adopted their first dog called Champ in 2008 when Biden became Barack Obama’s vice president. Champ is also a German Shepherd. The Bidens reportedly want to add a cat to their family. Trump took to his twitter on Sunday night to wish Biden well after seeing a video of Biden leaving the hospital. The White House’s current occupants, Trump and Melania, do not have pets.

Venerable Adeniyi Oluwabiyi, the minister-in-charge and head of District 4, Holy Flock of Christ Church in Ibadan, Oyo State, has explained why clapping and dancing is not allowed in the church. He also explained why collection of offering is not allowed in the church. Oluwabiyi, in an interview with Tribune, acknowledged that there are similarities between his church, the Anglican Church and Cherubim & Seraphim Church. But explained that there are differences and he went ahead to point out these differences. He said: "We have some similarities, but there are obvious differences. We and C&S are both white garment churches, but in our church, we don’t clap. We have a way of expressing our joy." He continued: "The setting is Anglican, but our mode of worship is different. We are a white garment church; we sing, read lessons, listen to sermon, and go home." Explaining why they do not clap or dance, Oluwabiyi said: "We say people express their joy while clapping in the church, but Satan will come in to do otherwise. "In other churches where people go to the extreme by falling down in the name of prophesying or seeing visions, no one falls down here. "Any gathering where people clap and dance uncontrollably paves way for the devil’s penetration and manipulation. Such activities are not part of our doctrine." Collecting of offering in the church is also prohibited and Olubiyi explained why this is so. He said: "We neither sell nor buy on Sundays. It is a Sabbath Day. Significantly, today is the second day of the desecration of the Sabbath Day. "This is why we don’t collect any form of offering in the church; the congregation goes out to drop their offering and return into the church for blessings. "You cannot see members spraying or pelting money on one another in the church. Also, we don’t go to the jungle for any act of deliverance. We pray and sanctify water or anointing oil for deliverance in the church premises. "We don’t take this with levity in our church. You see people spraying money in the church in other denominations, but at Holy Flock of Christ we follow the Bible strictly and make the temple of God sacred. "Though, the Bible says we should not come to His house with empty-hand, but we should not forget that it is the same Bible that established the significance of the church as the temple of God, which must always be kept Holy. "According to the scriptures, Jesus sent out the people buying and selling in the temple. That is why we do not spend or spray money in the church; we come out of the church auditorium, and give our offerings." Oluwabiyi stated that Holy Flock of Christ Church started 80 years ago and they have managed to continue in the ways set for them by Christ and their founding fathers. He further stated that even though they do not make offerings and tithes their priorities, they do not lack. He said: "With my wealth of experience as a cleric, no genuine and anointed pastor will be hungry. God will commission people to feed you. Unexpected offerings and gifts will come. How much is my pension? Help comes from people I do not know."The post
