Quadri Alabi - Police May Have Acted On Mere Non Evidential Accusationshttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/quadri-alabi-police-may-have-acted-on-mere-non-evidential-accusations/19/04/2025/#Life #Alabi #Amukoko #Effiong #Inibehe #Lagos #Police #Quadri ©April 19th, 2025 ®April 19, 2025 10:27 pm Lagos State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force in a very long press statement over its alleged false armed robbery accusation and detaining of a said minor, Quadri Yusuf Alabi claimed it acted on the basis of thorough investigation but in its long statement on Saturday, the Police Command could not state any substance or reasonability linking the said minor to the crime even when the Police Command claimed some members of the Amukoko community that identified the suspected armed robbers and street fighters were robbed of their belongings, this, could have offered the police the opportunity to know if the suspected persons were rightful or wrongful, because, in the course of investigation, the police is expected to have been able to present or state one or two of the stolen items that was found in possession or connection of the arrested suspects, but, judging from the police statement, shows, the police did not do its work, instead, it shifted its responsiblity to the court by thus, packing group of apparent innocent people to the court, for the court to decide for itself if the suspects are really what the police think they are. #OsazuwaAkonedo

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 13 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. On this week's first segment Brenna George gets to speak with Naomi Alabi, the founder of SFWRUNWAY. SFWRUNWAY is an innovative job board platform with a specialized focus, centered around the fashion and creative industries and aims to connect job seekers with unique, high-quality career opportunities. Naomi goes into her backstory and the origin of SFWRUNWAY and what motivated her to start the company. They discuss how Alabi wanted to create a space where creators could not only connect but grow with SFWRUNWAY by offering helpful resources along with job opportunities. She emphasizes the challenges in this industry, and how to set herself apart, Alabi is cultivating a community that is both unique and diverse. The pair also discuss how Alabi perceives CCIs as she explains that all the people she surrounds herself with are involved with CCI, which is motivating for her. To finish the segment, Naomi gives a little advice to those just starting out in the creative industries. We wrap up the episode this week with Sherwin Salehi's interview of fashion tiktoker Rwang. Salehi discusses with Rwang, also known as Ricky, what it is like to run the fashion brand IONGAF. The pair speak about Ricky's journey on social media and what motivated him to leverage platforms like TikTok to build a dedicated community. Ricky opens up about the challenges he faced in the early days and the pivotal moment that led him to transform his social media presence into a thriving business. The conversation then shifts to IONGAF itself, where Ricky provides insight into what it's like to manage and grow a brand from the ground up. They discuss the concept of “normalizing niche” through unique designs and content and what the daily duties look like when running a fashion brand. They wrap up the interview talking about the current state of the fashion industry and where it's headed. Ricky shares his thoughts on the future of fashion over the next decade and offers advice for anyone looking to break into the industry.

Funlayo Alabi, CEO and Co-Founder of Shea Radiance, wants to see women win. The founder, who was born in Manchester, England, and raised in Nigeria, moved to the United States at 17 to attend college. But she brought with her a strong sense of beauty implanted in her growing up in Nigeria, which included gleaming skin. After realizing that following in her father's footsteps by studying accounting, she settled on international business. And ended up with a career in coding and software by happenstance. Funlayo and her husband knew they wanted to create a business that allowed them to access resources on the African continent but little did they know that their search for a solution to treat their son's eczema and find an effective body moisturizer led them to explore shea. After mixing up products in their kitchen, their local Farmer's Market became their testing ground, and they refined their formulas from there. The duo also traveled to Nigeria to connect with the women who were harvesting shea, eventually traveling to and supporting women in several countries and banding with a few others as founding members of the Global Shea Alliance. Funlayo shares her thoughts on ashiness, why shea has gotten a bad rap, and how she got her brand into Whole Foods and took it from a local to a global offering with the retailer. In addition, she shares how the brand's first foray into a big box retailer didn't work out and what she learned from it.

Disney on Ice's Pablo Saccinto sits down with us to talk about the upcoming show in Duluth, life on the road, how he started skating, and his favorite Disney movies. Also: The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has postponed voting on using eminent domain to take land owned by a Black family for a century. The family, who sold some of the land to the county previously, were determined to hold on to their property, which includes Lake Sheryl, stating they had plans for its future. A public backlash over plans to create a historical park, which appeared to show the county wanted to recreate slave quarters, had forced the county to delay the vote. Board members are expected to hear from the family and the Gwinnett Historical Restoration and Preservation Board. The Livsey family met with members of the press on Friday morning to share their memories about growing up on the property, which includes Lake Sheryl, in south Gwinnett. They also made it clear that the land is not for sale.“We do not intend to sell,” said Dorethia Livsey, who is the family's matriarch. “We have plans for the future, but the main thing is right now to hold onto our land and not to let anyone take it.” Confederate groups, including two Gwinnett County men, are suing county leaders to restore a Confederate memorial on the Lawrenceville Square. The lawsuit asks the court to order the monument, which was removed and put in storage by the county in 2021, be restored to its former location. The lawsuit is a refiling of a lawsuit filed last year and reflects the Georgia Supreme Court ruling that residents of a county can sue their local government to have a Confederate monument, taken down by the county, put back up. The monument was placed on the historic courthouse grounds in 1993 but was removed after becoming a target of vandalism in 2020. The lawsuit argues that removing the monument violates state law. A federal grand jury has indicted Christopher Burns, a Berkeley Lake man who has been missing for two-and-a-half years, on 10 counts of wire fraud, two counts of mail fraud, and four counts of money laundering for his role in a $10 million investment fraud scheme. Burns, a financial adviser who conducted business through four different companies, is accused of defrauding investors by promising them safe investments that would yield high returns, while actually using their money to pay back other investors and fund his lavish lifestyle. Burns has been missing since September 2020, but the FBI is searching for him. Two students at Radloff Middle School are facing disciplinary action after allegedly attacking a classmate with a belt and racial slurs. The school's principal has described the incident as "inappropriate and despicable behavior" and has assured parents that the school will not tolerate violence or racial slurs. A teacher is also reportedly under investigation over whether they did anything to stop the attack. The school has not released further details of the investigation, citing student privacy laws and a "personnel matter." Andrea Alabi, the Number 2 person in the Fulton County Solicitor's Office and former Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office employee, is planning to run against her former boss, Patsy Austin-Gatson, in the next Democratic Party primary. Alabi accuses Austin-Gatson of being "in over her head" and not addressing critical crime-related issues. Austin-Gatson was elected in 2020, defeating Danny Porter and becoming the first Black person to hold the office. Alabi would like to partner with schools and parents to deter children from making bad decisions and work on second-chance initiatives while focusing on violent crime. Austin-Gatson disputes claims that her office is not getting enough convictions, stating that her office has gotten 59 convictions since she took office in January 2021. The Mountain Park community has not reached a consensus over the proposed redevelopment of the former Olympic Tennis Center property on the Gwinnett-DeKalb county line in the US. Some residents were excited about the proposal, which features a Costco-type business as an anchor, but others found it lackluster and wanted to know why a better proposal wasn't put together for what county officials had long described as a "gateway" project. The proposed development, which is set to cost around $125m, is expected to include 255 apartments, some green space, three restaurants with drive-thru lanes, and a Costco.

In American Sex Tape, Jameka Williams captures the reader's gaze and stares right back. In this stunning debut collection, Williams offers a deeply personal investigation into how Americans (herself included) have been duped, buying into classism, sexism, and racist beauty ideals, while sacrificing self-love and self-determination. With whip-fast profanity and fiery humor, she charts a tender, exalting, and vibrant path to freedom from mirrors, stages, and screens. Fiercely feminist, Black, American, and powerful, Williams speaks for a generation of obsessive social media influencers and consumers, revealing the complex ways in which we are actors and witnesses, and victims in our public and private performances. Though we may be permanent residents of this soulless cultural landscape, this stunning collection refuses to let it define us. ___________________________________ Speakers: Jameka Williams holds an MFA in poetry from Northwestern University.

A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and abilities can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and continual learning. A fixed mindset means you believe intelligence, talent, and other qualities are innate and unchangeable. A growth mindset is critical if you want to make any meaningful progress in life; because this mindset empowers you to believe that you can be better than what you are right now. It means: - You can make more money than you are currently making. - You can land a higher role than your current position. - You can learn new skills. - You can lose weight. - You can improve your skills. - SIMPLY PUT, consider everything you are or have, and imagine an improved version of it; you can get it.

Our first guest of the season is Nigerian-born, UK-raised and USA-based entrepreneur, Funlayo Alabi. She is the CEO and Co-founder of Shea Radiance, a Vegan all-natural body and hair care brand. Her entrepreneurial journey so far, is a brilliant account of resilience, courage, paying attention to the details of your life and what I believe to be a demonstration of feminism in real life. After many years of writing code for an insurance company, Funlayo had a moment of personal reckoning that pushed her into her entrepreneurial journey. It started out as trying to find a solution to a family's dry skin challenge, it quickly transformed into a kitchen factory serving a local farmer's market. Today, Shea Radiance is a recognizable brand that is available online and sits on some prestigious store shelves throughout the USA. Funlayo says the company has social impact at its heart. They work directly with woman-owned cooperatives in West Africa. This ensures trade-driven economic access for these shea butter producer partners and secures the company's supply chain.

Biola Alabi is a Nigerian media and investment executive, general partner at Atika Ventures, an early-stage VC, and the deputy chair of the Lagos Angel Network.Biola recounts her journey from a public health education to a career in media, drawing parallels between the foundational elements of both fields that are often thought to be dissimilar. We explore her work in Sesame Street and how the research-focused approach of the organization cemented her belief in the power of indigenous languages in media. She would leverage that experience at MultiChoice's DSTV, the biggest pay TV operator in Africa to pioneer indigenous languages in the company's programming. Biola talks about how her work with Big Brother Africa commenced a process that gave many African creators today the license to create by breaking out of the predefined notion of what it means to be African and changed how Africans spoke about domestic violence, gender equity, psychology, or trauma.Biola's segue from media to technology investment started from consulting for clients in early-stage investments. She describes how her encounters with African founders reinstated her confidence in the future of the continent and has since been writing cheques, first an as angel investor, then as part of the learning community of investors at the Lagos Angel Network and now her own VC firm. Biola sees technology as one of the primary tools for poverty eradication on the continent and is excited to invest in the changemakers of tomorrow who create the innovations that will change every aspect of our lives and create opportunities to escape poverty.
