The Southwest zonal office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday upturned the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ibadan North East Local Government of Oyo State, Taiwo Iyiola, over alleged anti-party activities.  It said the suspension of Iyiola by the State Working Committee (SWC) was arbitrarily without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the party’s constitution.  PDP spokesman in Oyo State Akeem Olatunji said on the phone that the Zonal Secretary, Daisi Akintan, who signed the letter reinstating the suspended chairman, lacked power to act without the consent of the Zonal Chairman, Dayo Ogunbenro. He said the purported letter was null and void.

Matthew McConaughey Turns Professor 👨🏻‍🏫 at University of Texas, Will Teach Filmmaking

-

Matthew McConaughey is adding a new title to his growing resume - professor and his classes are now in session! The Oscar-winning actor is settling into his new role as a faculty member at the university he formerly attended.

The 49-year-old star is now a professor at The University of Texas at Austin where he is set to teach the Script to Screen class for the Moody College of Communication, reported People. The university announced the happy news on Twitter on Wednesday with a photo of the actor alongside several students in a classroom.

The Interstellar actor has been a visiting professor at the university since 2015. Most recently, the star has been co-teaching the “script to screen” class alongside director Scott Rice.

“It’s the class I wish I would have had when I was in film school. Working in the classroom with these students gives me a chance to prepare them,” McConaughey told the university.

He added, “Making movies, turning words on paper into the film, is both a science and art -- no matter the time or generation. The elements of truth and genuine joy for the process are timeless. That will always be our classroom focus.”

The actor completed his graduation from UT Austin with a film degree in 1993. Since then, he has also become the Minister of Culture for the university in a role meant to create memorable fan experiences for UT’s new basketball arena, which will open in 2021.

About 300,000 people are expected to leave Hong Kong for Britain using a new visa route which opens on Sunday. Hong Kong's British National (Overseas) passport holders and their immediate dependants will be able to apply for the visa using a smartphone app. Boris Johnson said the move honoured the UK's "profound ties of history and friendship" with the ex-British colony. The visa was announced in July after China imposed a new security law in Hong Kong. Beijing has previously warned the UK not to meddle in domestic issues. Those who apply and secure the visa will be able to apply for settlement after five years and then British citizenship after a further 12 months. Although there are 2.9 million citizens eligible to move to the UK, with a further estimated 2.3 million dependants, the government expects about 300,000 people to take up the offer. The prime minister said: "I am immensely proud that we have brought in this new route for Hong Kong BNOs to live, work
