Superstar Beyonce's fans are convinced she's edited her latest Instagram offering after they pointed out some warped-looking stairs in the background.
The 39-year-old singer has been very active on her social media page in recent days, which her 172 million followers have been excited about.
However, some people suggested Beyonce's latest snap had been altered ever so slightly, as the stairs to the right of her tiny waist appeared to look manipulated, suggesting she has cinched in her physique.
In the comments section, one person wrote: "Those look like stairs in some type of stadium....."
Another asked: "How do you make a phone selfie look like it was taken by a professional cameraman?" suggesting she had tweaked the stunning image.
And another put it down to her lighting and angles, adding: "All you need is good lighting and shoot with the main camera preferably a new model iPhone like the 12 pro or a galaxy s21 ultra and you'll get the same results."
But a third person defended the star, writing: "You have to be Beyonce."
And other fans of the songstress were begging her to upload some more glamorous snaps to continue with her Instagram spree, with one asking: "Where's the rest of the pics?!"
Two nurses were confirmed dead on Sunday, while 10 others sustained injuries in a lone auto crash involving a Toyota Hiace bus around Akinale Village on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
Babatunde Akinbiyi, a spokesperson for the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), confirmed the incident.
He explained that the crash, which occurred at 9:20 a.m., was caused by speeding and using a mobile phone by the driver.
He noted that 18 people were involved in the crash, which comprised one male and 17 female nurses.
“One of the survivors said the driver of the Toyota Hiace bus, marked OG 49A 07, who was speeding and as well using his cellphone while driving around a bend, lost control and somersaulted several times.
“The occupants in the bus were nurses who were all heading to a party to honour a matron in one of the hospitals in Abeokuta,” he said.
Mr Akinbiyi explained that the injured were evacuated to Hope Hospital, Adigbe, Abeokuta, while the two corpses were deposited at the morgue of the General Hospital, Ijaye in Abeokuta.
The TRACE spokesman urged motorists to avoid speeding, especially during the rainy season, and not to use a mobile phone while driving.
Israel ended its outdoor mask mandate Sunday, now that about 80 percent of its adult population has received both doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, reports said.
“Being without a mask for the first time in a long time feels weird. But it’s a very good weird,” Amitai Hallgarten, 19, told Reuters.
“If I need to be masked indoors to finish with this, I’ll do everything I can.”
At the start of the pandemic last year, Israel required residents to wear face coverings while they were outside as long as they weren’t exercising. But now that close to 5 million people in Israel have received the two-dose vaccine, health officials are starting to ease restrictions, Reuters reported.
“The rate of infection in Israel is very low thanks to the successful vaccine campaign in Israel, and therefore it is possible to ease [restrictions],” Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said in a statement.
In January, Israel was grappling with about 10,000 new infections a day but amid a surge of vaccinations, that number has dropped to about 200 daily and hospitalizations and deaths are nearly non-existent, France 24 reports.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have also be quoted as saying; “We are leading the world right now when it comes to emerging from the coronavirus.”
Though he endorsed the Western Nigeria Security Network (Operation Amotekun), Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says the regional security outfit is useless to Lagosians.
Amotekun was established on January 9, 2020, by the six South-West states. All except Lagos had inaugurated the security outfit.
Sanwo-Olu, while speaking on Channels TV on Sunday evening, argued that the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) already performs the security functions of Amotekun.
“So it’s just a name change in the case of Lagos. I appreciate what my colleague governors are doing, and they also appreciate the peculiar nature of Lagos,” Mr Sanwo-Olu stated. “I have got over 7,000 neighbourhood watch personnel in Lagos, who are doing exactly the same thing that we have Amotekun doing.”
The LNSC is a uniformed security agency established by a law of the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2016 to assist the police and other security agencies in maintaining law and order in the state. Its officers operate in the 57 LGA and LCDA in Lagos.
According to the Lagos government, the LNSC officers are locals from the various LGA and LCDA where they operate, a deliberate policy to use their local knowledge to achieve “maximum grass root” intelligence gathering and community policing.
Mr Sanwo-Olu added, “They are there at the border post giving us daily monitoring in their localities and feeding it back to the central. They are the ones feeding us with information. But they cannot carry arms and prosecute people.”
Apart from community policing, the governor explained that the LNSC also engaged in border patrol.
“The borders that I have in Lagos are outside of the Atlantic Ocean is Ogun state,” he said.
The origin of the LNSC can be traced to the military administration of Brigadier Buba Marwa, who, on October 20, 1996, established Neighbourhood Watch outfits by edict Number 12 and published in the official gazette No 34 Vol. 29 (October 29, 1996), according to information on the Lagos government’s website.
The Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency said, on its website, that the establishment of “Neighbourhood Watch” was to complement police’s efforts at the grassroots level.
It explained further that former Governors Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola provided 33 Neighbourhood Watch posts with 33 repeater and base stations, patrol vehicles, defensive gadgets, and training during their tenures.
In September 2016, then-Governor Akinwunmi Ambode enacted and gazetted the law to establish the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency to “transform the unit into a full-fledged agency.”

There was confusion in Owakande 2 in the Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State following the disappearance of the body of a lawyer, Mr Egbara Owan, which was scheduled for interment at the weekend.
According to Vanguard, the programme for interment of the man had begun with a lying-in-state at the Obubra Magistrate Court on Saturday but family members and sympathisers who gathered there had to disperse when an ambulance sent to the local mortuary to take the corpse for the ceremony returned without the corpse.
“Apparently someone had gone to the mortuary to remove the corpse and when the family went there yesterday, Saturday, to remove the body, it was nowhere to be found, a source from the area, James Okpa said.
He said the morticians could not explain who removed the body and investigation had been launched by community elders to find out what happened to the corpse.
“The family seems to be in disagreement on the date for the burial but it is not known who took away the corpse,” he added.
He said the police had not been invited into the matter yet because it was still seen as a family issue.
“The matter is being handled internally first but from what the elders are saying, if by next week the body is not located the police would be contacted,” he said.
The deceased was a member of the Cross River State Judicial Service Commission.
A teenager has stabbed to death his 21-year-old friend said to have stolen his N55,000 mobile phone, police in Adamawa said.
The 18-year-old Abdulkarrm was arrested after he stabbed Ayuba Hassan in Mubi.
According to Daily Trust, Abdulkarim told journalists that he and two other friends had gone home to bed after a failed attempt to steal jerry cans of petrol from a filling station in Mubi.
He said he realised his mobile phone was missing when he woke up at night, and his two friends told him only Ayuba visited the house while he was asleep.
When he confronted Ayuba the next day, an argument ensued, which degenerated into a heated argument.
Then the duo, accompanied by two of their friends, agreed to go to the riverside and fight.
Abdulkarim further stated that on their way to the riverside, Ayuba threw a stone at him, prompting him to pull out a knife and stab him twice in the hand and chest.
As soon as Ayuba collapsed and died, the suspect said he fled the murder scene, leaving his victim in a pool of blood.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Adamawa, DSP Sulaiman Nguroje, said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as the investigation was concluded.
