SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream Gets One More Full Week in Before the Holidays
This week’s schedule on SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream has been good (and it’ll be even better this afternoon when Bailey Bryan drops by), but we’re already here to get you excited for next week. There’s a lot to share, so we’ll start off with the doubleheader of We the Commas and Anabel Englund on Monday followed by the incomparable David Davis on Tuesday. Wednesday is yet another rocking two-pack of the Dirty Nil and French Cassettes, and then we close the week with the fire-starters in Babygirl and multi-talented artist and model Maxine Ashley.

Plus, if you follow and/or subscribe on Twitch (you get a fr...
Cyberpunk 2077’s Futuristic Score Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Dystopia
CD Projekt RED is in a bit of a unique situation when it comes to this week’s release of Cyberpunk 2077. On one hand, the game is sure to top sales charts, will be loved by millions of fans and is likely to be a critical favorite. On the other, it seems like even an absolutely flawless game wouldn’t be able to live up to the unprecedented amount of hype built behind the title since its initial announcement in 2012. The futuristic RPG’s great expectations are certainly deserved considering that CDPR’s last major project was The Witcher 3, which not only earned numerous awards (and considered as one of the best video games of all time) but also received a second boost in popularity due to the success of last year’s Netflix series. Years before its release, Cyberpunk 2077 was already a multi-...

FRSC goes tough on motorists using phones on wheels
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Lagos Sector Command has warned motorists using phones on wheels or be arrested . The agency gave the warning on Sunday , saying that it has observed with dismay the rampant use of phone by motorists while driving on the road. In a statement by the Route Commander Olabisi Sonusi Sector Public Education Officer, he stated that the Sector Commander of FRSC, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide, said the corps had noticed a rising disregard of traffic and safety regulations which forbid the use of phone behind wheels.

Post-EndSARS: Stop scaring police off their beats – minister
The Federal Government on Friday called on Nigerians to empathise with and appreciate personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies instead of victimising them. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who made the call while meeting with Title Editors of Nigerian newspapers in Lagos, also urged the public to resist the temptation to tag all officers with the same brush. “Today, many of them are even afraid to wear their uniforms and the result has not been pleasant, in terms of security of life and property. “I want to remind all of us of the saying that a society that makes war against its police had better learnt to make friends with its criminals,” he said. The minister recalled that six soldiers and 37 policemen were killed across the country d...

RIP Diego Maradona, Soccer’s Tragic Rock ‘n Roll Star
Diego Maradona died on Wednesday morning at the age of 60 a few weeks after having brain surgery. But it was the complications of a heart attack that did him in — coincidentally, for in the words of Rod Tidwell from Jerry Maguire, Maradona was “ALL HEART.” That he survived ’til he was 60 was a miracle in itself. There was no footballer quite like the El Pibe de Oro (The Golden Boy). Diego Armando Maradona defied the odds. A whirling dervish with the spellbinding ability of the Tasmanian devil, the 5’5” Maradona was a literal whirlwind on the field…and off. At the peak of his powers in the 1980s, Maradona had a drug appetite that would have made Lawrence Taylor, the Gallagher brothers and Robin Williams blush. More on that later. Maradona will forever be known for the “Hand of God” — ...

NAFEST: Nigeria will lead the world – Senator Okorocha
Sen. Rochas Okorocha, Chairman, Senate Committee on Culture and Tourism, has expressed greater hope that Nigeria will definitely lead the world with the vast culture and tourism potential. Okorocha said this at opening ceremony of the 33rd National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) held at Rwang Pam Township Stadium, Jos, Plateau on Monday. The theme of the event was “COVID-19 and Cultural Dynamism”. The lawmaker advised Nigerians generally to keep hope alive as the COVID-19 pandemic and the ENDSARS protests which had caused lots of havoc to the nation would be forgotten issues with time.
