Prime Minister Mark Carney’s words are not only justified, they are necessary, Canada has every right to defend its sovereignty, its economy, and its people from reckless Trump and Musk.

Our response to these latest tariffs is to fight."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reacted to the 25% auto tariffs the Trump istration announced on Wednesday, calling them a "direct attack" on his country. Carney said in response, Canada would deliver retaliatory trade actions of its own that would have a "maximum impact in the United States."
He added that the "old relationship" the two countries had "based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
Sixteen travelers were brutally killed in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi, Edo State, on Thursday after being wrongly accused of kidnapping.

The detention of South Sudan's First Vice-President Riek Machar has effectively collapsed the 2018 peace deal that ended the country's five-year civil war, his party has said.
An armed convoy led by top security officials, including the defence minister, entered Machar's residence in the capital, Juba, and disarmed his bodyguards late on Wednesday, said the Sudan People's Liberation Movement In Opposition (SPLM/IO).
Machar was detained alongside his wife Angelina Teny, who is the country's interior minister, the party added.
"The arrest and detention of H.E Dr Riek Machar effectively brings the [peace] agreement to a collapse," said SPLM/IO deputy leader Oyet Nathaniel Pierino.
The government is yet to comment on Machar's reported house-arrest.
Addressing religious leaders on Wednesday, President Salva Kiir said "he will never return the country to war".
The UN has been warning that South Sudan is on the brink of a return to civil war following an escalation of conflict between Machar and the president that has been building for weeks.
The two leaders agreed in August 2018 to end the civil war that killed nearly 400,000 people. But over the last seven years their relationship has become increasingly strained amid ethnic tensions and sporadic violence.
In a press conference on Thursday, Pierino said Machar's detention had "abrogated" - or breached - the fragile peace deal.
"The prospect for peace and stability in South Sudan has now been put into serious jeopardy," he added.
A similar warning was issued by the UN Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss), saying the country's leaders "stand on the brink of relapsing into widespread conflict".
Tension remains high in Juba with a heavy military presence reported around Machar's home.
"There is a high chance of full-scale war but it will be more deadly and more violent because of [the need] for revenge," one resident told the AFP news agency.
But Pierino called on SPLM/IO and the public to remain calm as diplomatic efforts continue to resolve the situation.
Reath Muoch Tang, chairman of the party's foreign relations committee, said Machar was under house-arrest, but that security officials initially tried to take him away.
"An arrest warrant was delivered to him under unclear charges," Tang said in a statement, calling the action a "blatant violation of the constitution and the Revitalized Peace Agreement".
Unmiss warned that the world's newest nation risked losing the "hard-won gains of the past seven years" if it returned to "a state of war".
"Tonight, the country's leaders stand on the brink of relapsing into widespread conflict," the mission said in a statement on Wednesday.
Violations of the 2018 peace deal "will not only devastate South Sudan but also affect the entire region," it added.
The British and US embassies have scaled down their diplomatic staff and urged their citizens to leave the country while the Norwegian and German embassies have closed their operations in Juba.
The US has called on President Kiir to free his rival from the reported house-arrest, urging the two leaders to show commitment to peace.
"We urge President Kiir to reverse this action & prevent further escalation of the situation," the US Bureau of African Affairs wrote on X.
The escalating tensions come amid renewed clashes between forces loyal to the two rivals in the northern town of Nasir in the oil-rich Upper Nile State.

Those oju people are backward academically. In fact those guys hardly further their education. Very uncivilised people.
But they can be very handsome and beautiful. And I don't know why.

A 17-year-old girl from a refugee camp in Daadab has been brutally murdered and her body set on fire after refusing to be married off to a 55-year-old man.
The teenager was killed after refusing to submit to the demands of the 55-year-old man. She had been forcefully married off in an arranged marriage and was taken from her home in Daagale refugee camp.
When she arrived at the home of her husband-to-be, she was terrified. Her defiance resulted in beatings, and she eventually succumbed after enduring 27 days of abuse.
In her final moments before her death, she sent a chilling audio recording narrating how the 55-year-old man had been assaulting her since she started living with him.
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, she made a distress call to her mother, fearing for her life after enduring continuous torture since moving in with the man.
The next call her family received was from a relative informing them of her death. According to her mother, she received the call at around 2:00 a.m. informing her that her daughter had been tortured, placed on a mattress, and set on fire.
This incident has ignited outrage across social media platforms, with many Kenyans calling for justice.

Why taken such institute to remote area like oju? Don't get me wrong, I don't have any issue with ngede people of oju and obi but the neglect that area has suffered from Benue state is legendary. The two road that lead from Otukpo and makurdi axis to that area can be regarded as the worst in this country. I went there to do business 2 times, I ended suffering huge loss because of the terrible state of the road.
yeah the roads are bad, but I think Otukpo-Obi road is under construction now

Greenland is content with being a colony of Denmark, a sane peaceful nation. They don't want to be under the istration of this violent, chaotic istration who will exploit them to their none marrows. They don't want to be a part of US, their parent country Denmark doesn't want to release the country but this deranged Trump is so power drunk that he believes someone elses' country is his birthright. Where's Elon Musk's bratty son to tell him to shut his mouth when you need him?

My siblings and I decided to jokingly take a DNA test on ourselves to see if we are our father’s children
This didn’t come as a serious topic, we just decided to do it.
We are four in number, two men and two ladies. I’m the oldest (31 years old) and the youngest of us is 23 years old.
Our father turned exactly 60 February this year and our mom is 57 years old.
We didn’t take the DNA test because we suspected anything, we were just doing it for fun. Unfortunately, the results that came showed that apart from our last born (the girl that’s 23), none of us belongs to our father. We did the test again in another facility and had the same result.
This isn’t the time to break our father’s heart and destroy our family so we decided to keep the results to ourselves and pretend we all are our father’s.
But we confronted our mother and she said we shouldn’t tell our father. She also said the man who’s our father is dead, he was the man she was seeing before meeting our father. She cried and begged us not to tell our dad anything.
We don’t want to hurt our dad, so we’ve kept this from him but it breaks our hearts, especially mine to see that, that man went through thick and thin to get us to where we are today. I saw him struggle so much when I was growing up. I keep wondering why my mom would do such a thing to him cuz he’s a good man
Though we are keeping this from him, I’ve just been thinking so much. I don’t know what to do. He loves us. He gave up his life and joy for us. I’ve just been crying on his behalf, and I don’t know but I just suddenly hate our mother!
