  Bobi wine has blasted Yoweri Museveni, the president of Uganda, What sense does it makes to have purchased luxury cars for ex-speakers of the parliament after the president himself had recently bewailed that his regime is cash-strapped. Bobi wine, wrote on his social media handle, "Where is the common sense Museveni was talking about recently? The regime claims to be cash-strapped. Citizens are dying of hunger in different parts of the country.  The regime can barely offer any meaningful services to the people.  And what do they do? Spend billions to purchase luxury cars for former Speakers of Parliament, some of whom still hold well-paying government jobs where they already have vehicles and convoys following them around!  Each week, we wake up to a new scandal, new heist. The criminals in power continue to ask the citizens: "What can you do?" And yes, the citizens of this country must rise up at the earliest opportunity and put an end to this madness. 

  Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Hameed Adekunle Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III,   has warned mischief makers to steer away from the activities of the Department of State Services, DSS, through unfounded allegations and narrative capable of affecting the morals of officers and rank and file. Olowu, in a statement released on Sunday, said the news making the rounds that the director general of the DSS, Bichi, has siphoned  money meant for the payment of the N35,000 wage award approved by President Bola Tinubu, is not only unfounded, but ridiculous. "It is a known fact that the DSS's salary and allowances are special and can not be fully categorised as civil servants because the services are essential. "It's also clear that the intention of the purveyors of the fake news is to cause disaffection between the officers and the DG."  Olowu said. Continuing,  Olowu said it is the prerogative of Mr President to chose who he want to work with as far as the DSS DG positio...

  Call him the performer you won’t be wrong, this is because Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has taken his achievements in one year in office since becoming Osun State Governor to an enviable height.  Much to the chagrin of his detractors, Adeleke’s good governance in just one year in office has been amazing as developments under his government are littered within the State since he assumed office one year ago. For Governor Adeleke, accountability and transparency remain at the heart of his good governance as his government is about the people of the state. As he has always said that he will be different from his predecessor, Governor Adeleke has always given vivid accounts of his stewardship to the people of the State. Upon assumption in office, firstly Governor Adeleke made open the financial books of the State to the people through the Royal fathers in the state, this indeed showed a clear departure from the impenetrability and clandestineness that characterized t...

  . Legal immigration into Britain climbed to a record 745,000 arrivals in 2022, despite the governing Conservative Party’s vow to curb that number.  The figures were a fresh setback for the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, as he struggles to stop asylum seekers arriving in small boats on the British coast while trying to revive the economy and deal with dismal polling numbers. The statistics relate to people given permission to enter the country, mainly to work or study.  A majority now come from countries outside Europe, and the trend is politically awkward for supporters of Brexit. During the 2016 referendum campaign, those advocating departure promised to “take back control” of the country’s borders.
