Elon Musk To Remove Block Feature From Twitter

August 18, 2023

The owner of social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has revealed that there are plans to remove the block feature from the social media platform. In a post on Friday, Musk claimed the feature made “no sense” and will soon be unavailable for users. “Block is going to be deleted as a “feature”, except for DMs,” he tweeted. Reacting to Musk’s post, a Twitter user, @xdaily, explained, “Removing Blocking altogether is going too far. While it can be used for purposes such as cutting off people who disagree with you politically, it has an important role to combat harassment, trolls, and spam which are a significant problem for many users on the platform.” The Space X boss responded by assuring that users could still utilise the mute feature and also block other accounts from sending their direct messages. “You will still be able to mute accounts and block users for DM,” he said.

Guardiola gives reasons for not apologising for comments on low attendance at the Etihad

September 17, 2021

Pep Guardiola has refused to back down on his recent comments about low attendances at the Etihad but insists he is ‘incredibly grateful’ for the support Manchester City fans continue to show both home and away. There were more than 16,000 empty seats at the stadium on Wednesday evening as City got their Champions League off to a winning start with a thrilling 6-3 victory over Group A rivals RB Leipzig. However, Guardiola’s calls for ‘more people to come’ out in force for City’s upcoming clash with Southampton largely overshadowed the match, with many perceiving it as an unnecessary swipe at the fanbase in tough financial times. A ‘frustrated’ Kevin Parker, the general secretary of the Manchester City Supporters’ Club, said Guardiola was wrong to question numbers at the Etihad and urged the Spaniard to instead ‘stick to coaching’. ‘It’s not factual, our attendances are generally excellent,’ Palmer said. ‘He doesn’t understand the difficulties that some people might have g

Dr Ibrahim Liman, Controller General of the Federal Fire Service (FFS) made this know on Wednesday in Jalingo when he paid a visit to the Nigeria Correctional Service, Taraba Command. “The DR Congo requested for assistance and the FFS positively responded. “The request became necessary due to the capacity of the organisation as the most qualified and second best fire responders in Africa,” he said.

Churches protest in Zimbabwe over govt decision to allow only vaccinated attend services

August 14, 2021

Churches in Zimbabwe are questioning the government's sincerity in allowing them to hold services for the vaccinated when only about 10% of the country's population has been vaccinated against COVID-19. The government said this week that Christians who had received two shots could gather, a move some see as a way to drive up inoculation, given that more than 70% of the country's population is Christian. Information Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa told reporters that the government had noticed a decline of new COVID-19 cases, therefore. "Cabinet wishes to inform the public that churches can now allow sit-in congregants under the following conditions: only congregants who have received two doses of the [COVID-19] vaccine are allowed to attend," Mutsvangwa said. "And all Ministry of Health and Child Care and WHO protocols have to be adhered to. And those found in breach will be arrested including the leaders of the church." The government
