  By Chico Mies The confrontation between Leonidas and Xerxes in 300 and the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State share striking thematic similarities, particularly in the struggle between power and resistance.  Leonidas’ quote: “The world will know that a free man stood against a tyrant. That few stood against many. And before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.” resonates deeply with the current standoff in Rivers State, where Governor Siminalayi Fubara finds himself at odds with the federal authority following President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency. The Tyrant vs. The Free Man In 300, Xerxes presents himself as an all-powerful ruler, demanding submission from Leonidas and the Spartans.

By Chico Mies



Just six hours prior to the eagerly awaited launch event for the iPhone 16, Apple’s official online storage has become inaccessible. 

Visitors are currently greeted with a notification that reads: “Be right back. We’re making updates to the Apple Store. Check back soon.” This brief interruption occurs as the technology leader prepares to introduce its latest offerings.

The downtime is highlighted by a stylish blue and pink Apple logo, which aligns with the design presented in the invitation for today’s event, titled “It’s Glowtime.” The event is scheduled to occur in Cupertino, California, at 10:00 AM PT (18:00 BST).

Although Apple has not yet disclosed specific information regarding new devices, it is customary for the iPhone 16 series to be announced. Speculation suggests the introduction of four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, each available in a variety of colours. This year’s models are anticipated to feature slightly larger screens, marking the first increase since the iPhone 12, along with a new button on the right side that may attract selfie enthusiasts.

Regarding colour selections, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are rumoured to be available in hues of blue, green, white, black, and pink, while the Pro models may offer more muted shades such as white, black, grey, and bronze.

Additionally, Apple is rumoured to unveil other new products, including a special edition of the Apple Watch commemorating its 10th anniversary and potentially two new models of AirPods.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 are anticipated to commence on Friday, September 13, with the initial shipments likely to be dispatched on Friday, September 20. The launch event will be broadcast live on Apple’s website, YouTube, and the Apple TV app.

BREAKING: Tinubu’s Nationwide Broadcast Contained False Oil Production Data, OPEC Reports

By Chico Mies. Tinubu asserted that Nigeria's crude oil output had attained 1.6 million barrels per day, crediting this achievement to the reforms implemented by his administration within the oil sector.
