Beyonce's "Homecoming" was nominated for 6 Emmys and one of them was for the iconic costumes she performed in. Bey's performance at last year's Coachella, now fondly called Beychella, was a trending topic at the time. It trended again when the Netflix Special, Homecoming aired. People were talking about, not just her performance, but the creative costumes. So, it's understandable that she stands to win awards for the documentary and costumes. The 2019 Emmy nominees were announced on Tuesday, July 16, and Beyonce was among the long list of television nominees.

 August 2017, I was the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), with the daunting task of reforming Nigeria’s Federal Public Service. As part of that role, I sought to move the focus of Public Service Reforms away from the Public Service unto the public. This was a deliberate tactical approach that sought to change the approach to public service reforms from inputs to outcomes. Problems with the Public Service are often complex and intractable.

Since the issue is of momentous concern to all well-meaning and all right-thinking Nigerians, it must be of great concern to you, and collective thinking and dialoguing is the best way of finding an appropriate and adequate solution to the problem. The contents of this letter, therefore, should be available to all those who can help in proffering effective solutions for the problem of insecurity in the land. One of the spinoffs and accelerants is the misinformation and disinformation through the use of fake news. A number of articles, in recent days, have been attributed to me by some people who I believe may be seeking added credence and an attentive audience for their opinions and view-points. As you know very well, I will al
