Aspinall ‘still can’t see’ three days after eye poke

The father of the heavyweight champion claims that his father, Tom Aspinall, has an injury that prevented him from seeing in his right eye three days after defending his title against UFC 321.

When the Briton attempted a punch late in the first round of Saturday’s main event in Abu Dhabi, Cyril Gane accidentally poked him in both eyes.

Aspinall was unable to continue the fight, so he kept his belt after it was declared a no-show.

Following the fight, the 32-year-old traveled back to England and visited an eye specialist in Manchester on Monday.

His right eye, according to Andy Aspinall, is still unable to see anything in a video posted to his son’s YouTube channel. He claimed that the color is only gray.

His left eye is only 50%, so he is still blurry and not working.

This week, the fighter will undergo additional tests and a CT scan to determine whether the bones are healthy.

Andy Aspinall added that “something needs to be done in the sport to stop that happening,” and that “eye pokes” happen frequently in MMA.”

” It’s bad, “he said”. He might have lost sight. We don’t know because he still hasn’t lost one eye. We’re still holding out. Hopefully, time heals.

In an effort to reduce eye injuries, cuts, and cuts, UFC gloves are fingerless, and the organization introduced redesigned gloves in June 2024.

However, since 1997, the original style, which had not undergone significant changes, was reinstated in November.

Katie Price shares Harvey’s sweet talent as he shows off latest fashion statement

Kate Price, 23, said his grandmother would be impressed as well because she wanted to show her followers the most recent talent her eldest son, Harvey, had been taught.

Katie Price appeared very much the proud mum as she shared her eldest son’s latest talent. The mum-of-five regularly posts about her kids on her social media, and it was the turn of Harvey again on Tuesday.

Former glamour model Katie took to her Instagram Stories to showcase the new tune son Harvey, 23, has learned. Asking his mum if she was “ready” she told him she was before he played the song on his Dora the Explorer toy.

Harvey displayed his painted nails as he worked his way through the music. He appeared to be displaying his love for frogs with green nail varnish remnants on his nails.

Katie praised Harvey and exclaimed, “Wow, what would nanny say?” after the song was finished. He nodded his head and said, “Oh, well done Price,” while smiling and nodding his head.

Love my talented Harvey, Katie captioned the upload. Additionally, she included a frog emoji.

Katie just recently disclosed that she has started Harvey, who is autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, on CBD gummies. She claimed that two of hers, which he had accidentally eaten, had made him “nice and chilled.”

And he has also been with her on her latest tour. On a number of shows, Harvey joined his mum and her pal Kerry Katona on stage as they toured the country.

Katie, 47, and Kerry, 45, took their show, which sees them discuss their lives in the spotlight, to the Billingham Forum in Stockton last month and the pair welcomed Harvey to the stage. Katie shared footage on Snapchat from the show in which Harvey was seen walking on the stage with her.

The audience was heard cheering and shouting his name before he took a seat beside Kerry, who has known Katie for over 20 years. The duo first met during their time together on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

In a video, Harvey appears to be interacting with the audience while Katie and Kerry are sitting on a couch. In another, Harvey was spotted dancing Whole Again while Kerry, a former Atomic Kitten member, was doing it.

Katie and her pals were seen together on stage, and she appeared to be recording the conversation over a phone. The sing-along was reportedly being embraced by the audience.

Katie mentioned that her eldest son had visited her on social media following the appearance. Katie wrote, “OMG Harvey just absolutely slayed that crowd,” in response to a selfie in which she was sporting her green frog hat.

Harvey’s mother appeared to be enjoying being a part of the show. He had previously expressed his joy at being able to share some special moments with her.

Trump administration strips Nigerian Nobel winner Wole Soyinka of US visa

Wole Soyinka, the first African author to receive the 1986 Nobel Prize for Literature, was granted a new visa by the United States.

Soyinka read aloud from a notice the local US consulate gave him on Tuesday at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery in Lagos, asking him to bring his passport so that his visa could be voided.

Bring your visa to the US Consulate General in Lagos for physical cancellation. Please email me to schedule an appointment in advance of the appointment, Soyinka said, skimming the letter.

The&nbsp author joked with the audience that he had no time to fulfill the request as he closed his laptop.

This is one of the most humorous sentences or requests I’ve ever received, according to Soyinka, who likes people who have a sense of humor.

“Would any of you like to volunteer to replace me?” Bring it with me, please? I feel rushed and rushed.

Under US President Joe Biden, a visa for Soyinka was issued last year. However, Donald Trump was appointed as president in the interim.

Trump has enacted a crackdown on immigration since beginning his second term in January, and his administration has stopped providing visas and green cards to people who it believes are out of step with the Republican president’s policies.

Even though he claimed the visa revocation would prevent him from attending literary and cultural events at Tuesday’s event, Soyinka expressed a perplexed tone.

I want to reassure the consulate and the Americans who are present that I’m pleased that my visa was revoked, Soyinka said.

He also made fun of Idi Amin, the military leader of Uganda, in his previous articles. He said, “Maybe it’s about time to write a play about Donald Trump.”

On October 5, 2021, Wole Soyinka, a playwright, political activist, and Nobel laureate, New York City.

In the crosshairs of Nobel Prize winners

With a career spanning all genres, Soyinka has a formidable reputation in African literature, from journalism to poetry to translation.

He is the author of numerous short stories, including Season of Anomy and Chronicles from the Happiest People on Earth, as well as a number of novels.

The 91-year-old author has also fought against censorship. He wrote, “Those who wish to suppress the truth will terrorize all forms of writing.”

For PEN America, a free speech nonprofit, he has given lectures on the subject in New York City. He recently made a second appearance in the US in 2021, and he received the Literary Service Award from the organization to honor Henry Louis Gates Jr., a scholar and former coworker.

Despite the US president’s own aspirations to win the Nobel Prize, Soyinka is not the first Nobel winner to have his US visa removed following Trump’s re-election.

Oscar Arias, a former president of Costa Rica and the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner, had his visa revoked as well in April.

Arias’ efforts to put an end to armed conflict in Central American nations like Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala were previously honored by the Nobel Committee.

Arias claimed in a letter to the US government that his visa had been canceled because of his ties to China, but Arias claimed Arias’s claims were unsupported.

According to Arias, “During my second administration, from 2006 to 2010, I established diplomatic relations with China, and that’s because it has the second-largest economy in the world.”

Arias continued, adding that he could not rule out the possibility that his visa had been removed for other reasons.

Arias told NPR, “I have to imagine that my criticism of President Trump may have been a factor.” The president’s personality is “unfreakable and disagreeable,” the statement goes.

In addition, Soyinka has a reputation for being open-minded about both domestic politics in his native Nigeria and international affairs.

He confirmed to The Atlantic in 2017 that he had destroyed his permanent residence permit and US green card in protest of Trump’s first election in 2016.

If I absolutely have to travel to the United States, he told the magazine, “I prefer to queue up for a regular visa with others,” as long as Trump is in charge.

He claimed that the purpose was to demonstrate that he was no longer a member of society and not even a resident.

Soyinka emphasized that he still has close friends in the US in his remarks on Tuesday.

His writing had long been subject to persecution in Nigeria, but he was well known for using toilet paper for a while while he was confined to a wheelchair in the 1990s.

He began teaching at prestigious universities like Harvard, Yale, and Emory while he was a student in North America.

Oscar Arias, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and two-time president of Costa Rica, has also had his US visa revoked.

targeting “hostile attitudes”

However, the Trump administration has pledged to revoke visas for people it believe pose a threat to its national security and interests.

In an effort to prevent “hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles,” Trump issued a proclamation in June calling on his government to tighten immigration laws.

What constitutes a “hostile attitude” toward American culture is not well known. Such broad language may be used as a slam d’envoi for dissent, according to human rights advocates.

After all, free speech is protected by the US Constitution’s First Amendment, which shields individual freedom of expression from restrictions.

The nonprofit Economists for Peace and Security, which is affiliated with the UN, was one of those who expressed outrage after Arias’s visa was removed.

The nonprofit wrote in its statement that “this action, taken without explanation, raises serious concerns about the treatment of a revered elder statesman who has dedicated his life to peace, democracy, and diplomacy.”

Disagreements in foreign policy or political outlook should not lead to punitive measures against those who have made significant contributions to world peace and stability.

International students, social media commentators, and acting government officials have also experienced criticism for their opinions and their unfavorable international ties.

President of Panama Jose Raul Mulino expressed concern earlier this month that some of his country’s leaders had had their visas revoked because of their diplomatic ties to China.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro witnessed his visa yanked shortly after giving a critical speech to the UN and taking part in a protest against Israel’s occupation of Gaza in September while on a trip to New York City.

Petro’s actions were later described as “reckless and incendiary” by the US Department of State.

Separately, the State Department announced on October 14 that six foreign nationals would be denied entry to the country because of their criticism of Trump’s close ally Charlie Kirk, a close friend and assassin.

At Tuesday’s literary event in Lagos, Soyinka questioned Trump’s stated reasons for robbing so many visas and questioned whether they actually improved US national security.

He claimed that “governments have a way of papering things out for their own survival.”

Edo Govt Orders Ex-Deputy Gov Omobayo To Return State Property In One Week

Former deputy governor Omobayo Godwins has received a one-week ultimatum from the Edo State government to return all of his personal property and possessions.

The governor’s press secretary, Fred Itua, signed a statement on Tuesday that contained the order.

The state government issued a warning that Omobayo would face arrest and restitution of all of his property if he didn’t follow the deadline.

Further, the statement reads, “The government has observed with dismay that Mr. Despite numerous formal reminders, Omobayo has not yet been turned over to the appropriate authorities during his brief and illegitimate tenure.

The Edo State government repeatedly states that the state must be legally redeemed after serving in office for all assets acquired or used for public service. Any person who continues to hold onto such property does so in violation of the law and is in violation of the law to possess state assets.

Mr. Omobayo is hereby required to comply fully by returning all government property to the Office of the Secretary within seven (7) days of the date of this release.

The Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, will be required to arrest him and ensure the immediate recovery of all State assets in his possession using legal means if the government fails to comply within the specified time.

The Edo State government is committed to upholding the laws of the land and to protecting public property.

No person is permitted to unlawfully acquire or keep property belonging to the people of Edo State, regardless of their previous political affiliation or position.

Under Senator Monday Okpebholo’s leadership, the administration will continue to uphold the principles of accountability, integrity, and transparency in the public service, ensuring that all public officers are held to the highest standards of accountability and probity.

The Molotovs join ‘brilliant’ Yungblud on sold-out tour as he’s forced to add more dates

The Molotovs, the rocker’s younger siblings, have been confirmed as the supporting act for Yungblud’s upcoming UK arena tour. Due to demand, the rocker has added a number of additional dates.

Yungblud will perform alongside The Molotovs on their sold-out arena tour. The Doncaster-born legend will play with the teen rockers in shows across the country next year.

However, after his initial run was completely sold out, Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, was forced to add more dates due to high demand. Along with dates in Liverpool and Belfast, the Idols’ new dates for the tour include a nearly home show in Sheffield, which is close to his hometown.

Additionally, additional Dublin concert tickets have been made available. The Molotovs, a rock group that is open to the public, will join him in joining Matthew, 17, and Issey Cartlidge, 19, who both have a punk and edgy side. Following a sold-out performance at Camden’s Electric Ballroom, the siblings were left on an euphoric high just last week.

Tracks from their debut album were played live at Electric Ballroom along with new songs Urbia and My Metallic Wife. And it included crowd-surfing after support from The Suki’s and Soaked, in true Molotov’s fashion. Sir Paul McCartney, a legendary songwriter, and the Beatles icon, James McCartney, were present.

They are currently aiming to achieve their third UK number. Jason Perry’s production at Marshall Studios led to the release of the first single in a row, Rhythm of Yourself. The band’s third studio album, Wasted On Youth, is scheduled to be released on January 30 via Marshall Records.

The siblings have performed more than 600 shows with the likes of Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, and The Libertines over the past five years, despite their ages. Green Day and Paul Weller are just a few notable fans who have also been fans of them.

Issey mentioned joining Yungblud on tour, saying, “It’s been amazing to see what British rock and roll has accomplished on the world stage. Both Yungblud and The Molotovs have so much more to offer. Insane to report that our entire UK arena tour has sold out, Yungblud said of the tour.

The legendary rockstar thanked God from the bottom of his heart. In addition to Sheffield, Liverpool, and Belfast, I’ve made the decision to add more dates. Go get these before they go out, Ireland, we have opened up more tickets in Dublin. “Can’t wait to bring it home because it’s the most insane tour of our lives”!

A pre-sale code for the extra dates will be available for those who pre-order Aerosmith’s One More Time EP from his official store by noon (GMT) on Wednesday, October 29.
