Watch our report:
As Nigerians continue to experience the nationwide ease in lockdown announced by President Muhammadu Buhari, the country recorded a 16 per cent drop in coronavirus cases last week compared to the previous week, an analysis of data from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) shows.
A PREMIUM TIMES review of the daily report of COVID-19 cases by the NCDC shows that Nigeria recorded 1,470 new cases in the past week (May 10 - May 16), a 16 per cent drop from the 1,763 cases reported in the previous week (May 3 - May 9).
However, Lagos, like Nigeria, recorded a weekly decrease in new infections when last week's figure is compared to the 696 new cases recorded in the state in the previous week.
The data also shows that Abia and Bayelsa did not record additional cases last week while Cross River and Kogi states are yet to report a single case of the infection since Nigeria's index case was announced in February.
A breakdown of the 5,621confirmed cases shows that Lagos State has so far reported 2,373 cases, followed by Kano - 761, FCT - 397, Katsina - 239, Bauchi - 212, Borno - 212, Jigawa - 197, Ogun - 145, Kaduna - 134, Gombe - 124, Sokoto - 112, Oyo - 107, Edo - 95, Zamfara - 74, Kwara - 58, Osun - 42, Rivers - 35, Yobe - 32, Kebbi - 31, Delta - 25, Nasarawa - 31, Niger - 22, Plateau - 21,, Adamawa - 21, Ondo - 19, Taraba - 17, Akwa Ibom - 16, Ekiti - 19, Enugu - 12, , Ebonyi - 9, Imo - 7, Bayelsa - 6, Benue - 5, Anambra - 5 and Abia - 2.
Gribaudo recalls spotting a familiar-looking elephant in a similar Buenos Aires circus tent seven years later.
The May road trip to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil was four days long, and almost a waste of diesel: At the border crossing from Argentina, a COVID-19 health order had shut down all traffic for nearly a month.
Blais says when Rana, a 60-year-old female elephant, met Mara, she “was incredibly vocal—a lot of bellowing, rumbling, signs of excitement and enthusiasm.
Brazil appeared to tiptoe close to that standard last year, when a judge ruled that state authorities can’t levy a tax of 50,000 Reals (about $9,500) on Elephant Sanctuary Brazil after it took in an elephant named Ramba.

Coming 2 America By Dwight Brown NNPA News Wire Film Critic Nothing wrong with a little nostalgia. But if you’re looking for a comedy revelation, this isn’t it. It’s an ‘80s throwback with a comic superstar, his merrymen/women and a tinge of Wakanda fever. Grab a seat and be prepared to yawn before you laugh […]

BY WINSTONE ANTONIO YESTERDAY, women in Zimbabwe joined the world in celebrating the International Women’s Day, where they highlighted bottlenecks inhibiting them from entering various sectors of the economy. The day is commemorated annually on March 8 and this year’s celebrations are being held under the theme Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World. The theme highlights the importance of challenging biases and misconceptions in the interest of creating a more inclusive and gender-equal world. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) administrator Achim Steiner said women should play a key role in decision-making at a global stage. The UNDP works to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities through ensuring sustainable development of nations. He said across the world, women were concentrated in the lowest paid jobs, many in extremely hazardous forms of employment. Steiner said women were nearly twice as likely as men to lose their jobs during the COVID-19 crisis as the pandemic would dramatically increase poverty rates and widen the gap between men and women who live in poverty. “Women must have the opportunity to play a role in shaping the pivotal decisions being made right now as countries respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic — choices that will affect the wellbeing of people and the planet for generations to come,” he said. “To do this, we must break down the deep-seated historic, cultural, and socio-economic barriers that prevent women from taking their seat at the decision-making table to make sure that resources and power are more equitably distributed,” Steiner said, adding that they were working with countries across the globe to address these inequalities. Females in the creative sector, who spoke to NewsDay Life & Style, yesterday called for a women-friendly showbiz environment and equal opportunities with their male counterparts. Dudu Manhenga The Afro-jazz musician said parents should nurture and foster their children’s talent regardless of their sex, adding that it was good for women in the arts to be celebrated. “On an occasion like this (Women’s Day), I would like to encourage parents who have children who are creative to foster and nurture that talent and gift in our children,” she said. “It is time to break away from the stereotype that the arts sector does not pay, because it is us who make it pay. Parents should allow their children to play a huge role in the arts sector, they should allow them go to school. Parents should facilitate or finance the education within the creative sector. If they do so, it means that we will have more and more creatives who would have been schooled for that such that the sector gets the credibility it deserves. It means we have a student who will fuse that education with the gift that they have. I think that will really improve the creative sector.” Sarah Mpofu-Sibanda Bulawayo’s former supermodel and actress said women should not be discouraged by adversity. “If anything, this is the time to be more assertive and crafty in
