US: I’ll Impose Tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada – Trump

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has made a promise to impose high import tariffs on all goods from Mexico and Canada.
He also stated that the same will be for China.
Trump stated this on Truth Social, the social media platform he co-founded, adding that he would sign an executive order to that effect on his first day in office.
According to him, the tariff would remain in place until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country.


“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25 per cent Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.

 
“Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long-simmering problem,” Trump said.
 
“We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price,” he said.
The president-elect also said that additional tariffs of 10 per cent are to apply to goods from China until drugs stop pouring into our country, mostly through Mexico.

Vice Principal, 2 Teachers, Guard Arrested As Students, Residents Clash In Ogbomoso

At least four staff members of Areago Community High School in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, have been arrested following a clash between the school’s students and local residents.

Daily Post reports that conflict broke out between the students of the secondary school and residents of its neighbourhood.

It was learnt that four staff of the school among whom are a Vice Principal (Administration), Mr. Ajayi; two senior teachers, Mr. Oladeji and Mr. Adekunle; and a day guard in the school have been arrested.

It was learnt that those arrested were being detained at Owode Divisional Police Station, Ogbomoso.

It was gathered that trouble started on Thursday following an altercation between some students of the school and some women residents in the neighbourhood who attempted to pass through the school premises on commercial motorcycle.

The residents were prevented by the students because the parent-teacher association (PTA) of the school had embarked on erection of perimeter fence.

A teacher in the school who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that construction of the fence became imperative because the school has become porous.

He added that a lot of untoward things are daily recorded in the school as a result of porosity of the school.

It was reliably gathered that the four staff would be released on bail

Daily Post reports on Saturday that the concerned stakeholders are making efforts to settle the matter amicably.

There Is No Govt That Can Resolve All Issues – Wike

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that no government can resolve all issues affecting its people.

According to Wike, an administration that has been in power for up to 20 years still has issues.

The Minister stated this during an inspection of road projects in the Bwari Area Council on Wednesday.

He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the present administration led by President Bola Tinubu benefit all areas of Abuja, including the city and its satellite towns.

During his inspection, Wike noted, “When we went to Kwaita, you can see how long the road is, and we are now in Yongo Sukuk. I can hardly believe what I’ve seen. I thank Almighty God that the Renewed Hope Agenda is alive and working.”

Commenting on the contractors’ performance, he acknowledged the challenges posed by this year’s heavy rains but expressed satisfaction with the progress.

“We gave them until December to complete this project, and I am impressed by their work quality in these rural areas. I have visited various sites, including Dutse, Ushafa, and Kwaita, and I am genuinely impressed by their efforts,” he said.

Wike pledged that funding would allow contractors to demonstrate a commitment to their projects.

He further emphasised the importance of firsthand observation in assessing project progress, saying, “It is beneficial for us to tour and see the conditions on the ground rather than relying on reports.

“We have seen farmland and ample land for agriculture, and if the government can make the most of this, we would not have to worry about food security.

“Government is a continuum. We will try to complete whatever projects we can. No government can resolve all issues; even a 20-year administration still faces challenges. What matters is that citizens can see efforts being made to alleviate their burdens,” he said.

Wike assured residents that the city and surrounding satellite towns will experience the positive impacts of the current administration’s initiatives

Court Sacks MC Oluomo As NURTW President, Affirms Baruwa

The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has removed Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, from his position as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

Fuel Price: Dangote Refinery Still Buys Crude In Dollars – Economist

It has been revealed that Dangote Refinery is still buying crude oil from the Nigerian government in dollars.
The revelation was made by a renowned economist, Kelvin Emmanuel.
He said the Nigerian government has not effectively implemented a Naira-for-crude deal with Dangote Refinery.
Emmanuel disclosed this in an interview with Channels Television on Monday and monitored by DAILY POST.
He was analysing the policy of the Nigerian government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and its impact on fuel prices.
Recall that in July 2024 Tinubu had directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to sell crude to Dangote Refinery in Naira.
On October 20, 2024, the Minister of Finance announced the kickoff of the Naira-for-crude deal.
However, Emmanuel claimed that the policy has not been fully implemented, noting that Dangote Refinery still buys crude feedstock in dollars instead of naira.
“The level of compliance with the Naira-for-crude deal is low.
 
“It doesn’t appear that the government is complying with the terms agreed with the policy. It has not been complying with by the latter.
 
“Under deal, Dangote Refinery is 385,000 and 400,000 barrels of crude per day. The refinery is not getting that. Let me define 11.5 million or 12 million barrels of crude on a monthly basis. The refinery is getting 40 or 50 percent of the crude. 40 percent of the 50 percent crude being sold to Dangote Refinery is being sold in dollars,” he said.
This comes as Dangote Refinery said its ex-depot prices of petrol are sold for N960 and N990 per litre for shipping and trucks.
The announcement of the Dangote Petrol price came on the back of the controversy between the company and oil marketers in the last days.
Oil marketers had disclosed that imported fuel is cheaper than Dangote Petrol.
However, Dangote accused oil marketers of importing cheap and substandard fuel into Nigeria, which was denied.
This comes as Nigerians buy petrol between N1,060 and N1,200 per litre across filling outlets.
DAILY POST recalls that fuel price increased to above N1060 per litre in November 2024 from N617 sold in August, the same year.

How To Solve Nigeria’s Problem — Oluwo of Iwo

The Oluwo of Iwo, in Osun State, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi has proferred solutions on how to solve Nigeria’s problems.
He urged Nigerians to to seek divine guidance from God as that’s the only way out.

Oba Akanbi, who spoke in Iwo on Saturday at the annual Eledumare Festival, which he hosted, also advised Nigerians to stop lamentation over the challenges facing the country.

He urged them to return to God for devine intervention, saying that Nigeria has enough resources to develop without relying on foreign assistance.
Speaking further at the annual festival held in his palace in Iwo, Oluwo decried inability of Nigeria to harness her natural endowment for the betterment of the country, adding that the essence of the event was to draw people back to their Creator.
He said, “We are taking our people back to the days when we have power. When we start worshiping God, we will begin to use wisdom to convert gold to our own use; limestone to cement; if we begin to use our wisdom, we will be greater than America.
 
“It is not today that the economy of Nigeria is bad. Since independence, there is no government that people did not complain. We are endowed with mineral resources, particularly in Yorubaland. If we are not ungrateful to God, it is not the foreigners that will be taking our mineral resources to their land cheaply and bringing it back to us with expensive price.
 
“Our forefathers don’t know any other deities. Oduduwa does not know Sango or Ogun. Our forefathers are worshippers of one God. I’m representing God,the real king. Worship is an exclusive right of God.
 
“Our culture and tradition in Yorubaland is devoid of deities. We must approach God directly. Kingship is to profess that the only thing that is worthy of worship is God. We are calling all Yoruba to only one God. We should not be ingrate.”
 
In his remarks at the event, the Special Adviser to Osun State Governor on Culture and Tourism, Mr. Kehinde Oloke lauded Oluwo’s efforts towards uniting people to worship God without minding differences in their beliefs
