Prince Harry and Meghan Markle slammed by parents after they visited a preschool (photos)

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited a preschool in Los Angeles and they have been slammed by parents who were refused entry due to the Coronavirus policy.

 

Parents were not allowed to visit the Assistance League Preschool Learning Centre due to strict rules. However, Meghan and Harry made a trip to the preschool and they were allowed in.

 

The royal couple visited wearing face masks and planted forget-me-nots in memory of Princess Diana. The visit marked the 23rd anniversary of her death.

 

 

While at the school, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in digging and planting for at risk children in LA.

 

Taking to Instagram, the Assistance League of Los Angeles wrote alongside the sweet snaps: "The children of our Preschool Learning Centre got a wonderful surprise when The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited yesterday!

 

"In addition to helping the children replant the Preschool Learning Centre's garden, they spent time with them, sharing their appreciation for nature and helping to instil the importance of healthy eating. We truly appreciate their time and care for our students."

 

 

However, parents were not impressed that the duo were allowed to enter despite coronavirus restrictions.

 

One user on social media commented: "I could not even hold my daughter's hand and take her into school last week when she started kindergarten. These two just 'turn up and break the rules' whenever they feel like it?"

 

 

Another added: "Not safe to go back to school but safe for mingling with strangers for a photo op."

 

One expressed their disappointment and said: "Exactly I can't take a pencil to my child right now. NO visitors. No exceptions.

 

"They have no respect for the rules as they are 'humanitarians' they are the exception? BS kids in the US have no clue what a Duke/Duchess even is but they can come in when I can't..for a pic?!?"

Four NFF staff have tested positive to Coronavirus – NFF President, Amaju Pinnick

 

Four staff of the Nigeria Football Federation have tested positive for Coronavirus after  a general test was conducted.

 

NFF President, Amaju Pinnick made the announcement on Wednesday September 2 and also revealed that the test was conducted after a member of its management tested positive for COVID-19 in August. One of those who tested positive has fully recovered while the others are also in stable condition.

 

He tweeted; 

 

Good afternoon. As part of our commitment to transparency, probity and openness, I would like to brief Nigerians of events as they unfold in football development. Firstly, a tragic note, as we lost the head of the ICT department, Mr. Tolulope Abe to complications arising from surgery. May His soul rest in Peace.

We also conducted COVID-19 tests on all members of staff and four returned positive. While one has fully recovered and confirmed negative, others are in stable condition, receiving treatment with the full compliments of the NCDC....

Now. As we await the Federal Government's pronouncement on the resumption of football, the Federation has been in active discussions about possible friendly matches and I'm happy to say we have finally sealed two high profile matches for next month

 

Brazil announces equal pay for men's and women's football teams

 

Brazil's football federation has announced it will pay men and women the same amount for representing the national team. 

 

"The CBF has equalled the prize money and allowances between men's and women's football, which means the women players will earn the same as the men," said the federation's president Rogerio Caboclo in a Wednesday statement. 

"It will be proportionally the same as what Fifa proposes for women, that is to say, there will be no more gender difference in remuneration between men and women," Caboclo added. 

It will be applied to the teams participating in the Olympics next year as well as the next World Cup tournaments.'

Brazil's football association CBF said its decision was first communicated to the women's team and their Swedish coach Pia Sundhage in March.

"This is historic. Being a part of this is very special, I'm very grateful," said Sundhage, who also welcomed the news that for the first time a woman, Duda Luizelli, has been put in charge of coordinating the national women's team.

This means Brazil's female players including Marta, Formiga, and Leticia Santos will receive the same payments and allowances as Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, and Roberto Firmino.

Brazil joins Australia, Norway, and New Zealand among the nations that pay their men and women the same amount.

 

In March 2019, the US women's team, the current world champions, sued their federation, alleging discrimination over pay and conditions. But a judge dismissed their case in May this year but the team appealed.
 

Africans bash BBC Africa over their article with the headline ''Coronavirus in Africa: Could poverty explain mystery of low death rate?''

 

Some Africans on Twitter are currently bashing BBC Africa after the new site published an article with the headline ''Coronavirus in Africa: Could poverty explain mystery of low death rate?''.

 

The headline suggests that the low death rate from COVID-19 in Africa could be as a result of the high level of poverty in the continent. The body of the article, however, opined that the youthful population and strong immune system might have helped Africa record low COVID-19 related death.

 

While some appreciate the body of the article, many Africans are not accepting the headline and have taken to social media to react. They claim the headline mirrors the ''hatred'' the West has for Africa since Coronavirus has not killed Africans as much has it has killed Caucasians.

The enraged Twitter users insisted that a more ''respectful'' headline that would not portray Africa as a ''poor continent'' should have been used.

The settlement says, "the parties shall have joint custody of the minor child (10-year-old Daniel Gibson Jr.)" and each has agreed to not receiving any child support!

 

"Each party is ordered to support the minor child while the child is residing with that Party and current child support is set at zero."

 

They are also ordered to "equally share the cost of the minor child’s tuition and aII such cost shall be timely paid directly to the minor’s school."

 

The ex-couple agreed to split other things like birthday parties, and "shall meet and confer on any other expenses for the minor child." In the end, all expenses shall be shared equally.

 

"The Parties shall have joint custody of the minor child," it reads.

 

They have also agreed that "both parents are not to disparage the other parent or the other parent's family members in the hearing of the child, or otherwise discourage the child from spending time with the other parent."

 

In the divorce agreement, they went as far as putting in a clause in case they decide to get back together.

 

"Any reconciliation between the Parties shall not cancel, terminate‚ modify or waive any provisions of this Judgment unless the Parties so agree in writing. However, nothing in this subsection shall be construed to waive either Party's rights in community property accrued after a reconciliation," the settlement added. 

 

Keyshia originally filed for divorce back in September 2017, citing irreconcilable differences for the split and listed the date of separation as October 31, 2014, after their wedding in 2011.
