 Tax Bills: We Have The Means To Fight Anyone Who Seeks To Undermine North -Senator Wadada  *** “No Northerner should fear taxes; we have historically led in community taxes, such as cattle tax. Many citizens have benefited from these contributions. We were paying taxes when others were not, and we are not afraid of tax reforms because we understood that to achieve our goals, adequate resources are necessary. “Anyone who seeks to undermine the North should know that we have the means to fight back. I remain grounded in my understanding of the situation rather than swayed by public sentiment. There are areas needing clarification, and I believe President Tinubu administration does not intend harm to any part of Nigeria. However, introducing something new requires thorough consultation.” -Senator Wadada At Audience With Journalists In Abuja

 Early voting kicks off in Chad's election boycotted by opposition Chad's military and nomads voted on Saturday in general elections that are portrayed by the president as a key step in a transition to democracy but are boycotted by opposition parties, AFP reported. For most people in the Sahel nation, the elections to select a national parliament, regional assemblies and local councils will take place on Sunday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Military personnel began arriving early at a polling station in Koundoul ba...

 Trump asks Supreme Court to pause TikTok ban so he can 'negotiate a resolution' President-elect Donald Trumpwants the Supreme Court to pause a law that could ban TikTok in the United States next month, arguing he can find a way to "save" the popular video platform without compromising national security or American's free speech rights. In defense of the law, the outgoing Biden administration warns that unless TikTok is divested from ByteDance, its Chinese-based parent company, China can gather data on Americans or manipulate the content on TikTok to shape U.S. opinion Opponents of the law − which passed Congress this year with wide bipartisan support − say federal judges so far have given too much deference to the U.S. government’s national security concerns and not enough consideration to freedom of expression. Trump takes office on Jan. 20, a day after TikTok will be banned in the United States unless it's sold. Will the Supreme Court save TikTok?What's...

 Putin apologizes for 'tragic incident' but stops short of saying Azerbaijani plane was shot down Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he called a “tragic incident” following the crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that killed 38 people, but stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible.

It did not explicitly say one of these hit the plane. The statement said Putin apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev “for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace.” The readout said Russia...
