Shakira, the world-famous Colombian pop star, has expressed doubts over finding love again after her split from Gerard Pique, a former Barcelona defender.
The couple, who had been together for 11 years, announced their separation in June 2022.
This came amid allegations of infidelity on Pique’s part.
Shakira, who is now 47, said on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 show: “I thought love would be there forever for me, and that’s one of my broken dreams.
“I don’t know if I’d like to find that again. Probably not.”
Despite the heartbreak, Shakira has focused on her music career.
Her long-awaited 12th album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” was released recently, marking her return to the music scene.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has decided to extend the ongoing registration for Direct Entry by an additional two weeks to accommodate all prospective candidates in the process.
This is contained in a statement by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor (PCA), Fabian Benjamin on Saturday.
The statement reads “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would be extending the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration by two weeks to enable all candidates desirous of DE registration to do so.
“The Board commenced the 2024 Direct Entry on Wednesday, 28th February, 2024, and was to have concluded it on Thursday, 28th March, 2024, but on subsequent consideration, has now extended the exercise by two weeks from Wednesday, 28th March, 2024, consequently bringing the registration to a close on Thursday, 11th April, 2024.
“This extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates.
“The Board apologises for the inconveniences caused the prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.
“However, in doing this, the Board will not compromise on its avowed determination to ensure that candidates, whose certificates were dubiously acquired are prevented from benefiting from such certificates.
“It is also to be noted that candidates, whose certificate-issuing institutions are among those on the list of institutions that have not verified their certificates despite repeated requests, would not be allowed to register without doing the needful.”
The family of Ilerioluwa Aloba, the late Nigerian singer, who was better known as Mohbad, has said it will conduct separate autopsy test on the late singer.
Mohbad, 27, died on September 12, 2023. He was buried the next day in Ikorodu, Lagos.
The Lagos state government had called for a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of death following public outcry.
Testifying at the coroner’s inquest on Wednesday, Richard Somiari, the director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, said the autopsy result on Mohbad would be ready in less than a month.
However, according to PUNCH, Monisola Odumosu, head of the family’s legal counsel, said the family will apply to the state high court to conduct a separate autopsy and toxicology test.
The lawyer said the family of Mohbad feels the test being conducted by the Lagos government is “taking time” and also expresses concerns about the process by which the autopsy was conducted.
Odumosu further claimed that no medical expert represented the family at the point the autopsy was done.
“We filed an application at the Coroner’s Court on Wednesday to conduct our own autopsy and toxicology test, but the Magistrate said he did not have the power to approve that and told us to approach the High Court,” he said.
“We are already preparing our documents to go to the High Court so that we can ask for permission to organise our own autopsy and toxicology test. We have been planning this before now because we feel the government is too slow.
“They disclosed on a radio programme about three weeks ago that they were just about to send it to the US and that may take about 10 to 12 months, which is too long considering the fact that they had taken a sample from the body almost five months earlier. So why do we have to wait for so long?
“Secondly, when the autopsy was being conducted, representatives of the family should have been someone who is well-informed on the issue of the autopsy; an expert who would confirm if it was properly done. But they just called anyone.
“We are also planning to do it in the United States. Another reason why we took the decision was because, for instance, if someone is poisoned, at a point in time, it will evaporate, and no test can discover it. So, we don’t want to wait until that has happened before we think of doing our test and discover that nothing was found.”
Ayodeji Balogun, the world-famous, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Wizkid, has said he loves to be underestimated.
