Dr. (Mrs.) Florence Ajimobi, the late former governor of Oyo State and wife of Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has expressed her profound grief at what she called the premature death of renowned broadcaster Babatunde Olaniyi, well known as Ti O Common. Senator Ajimobi's former special assistant Olaniyi passed away on Thursday. Mrs. Ajimobi asserts that because of its finality, death has always been accompanied by regret, despair, and intense suffering; this is particularly true in the case of Ti O Common, given that he would still have much to offer to his field and society if death hadn't called.

"Even though he passed away suddenly, his passing occurred at a sad moment, particularly right now when his professionalism is desperately needed. Even though it was completely unexpected, my family and I were nonetheless taken aback by his passing given that we had spoken a few months prior and I had no reason to suspect anything was wrong or that death could come so quickly. There is no question that Olaniyi's personal and extended family, the entertainment industry, and the people of Oyo State have lost a committed professional with his passing, according to Mrs. Ajimobi.He was known as Ti O Common and made significant contributions to the State's media and entertainment industries. He undoubtedly left a lasting legacy that will live on.

 "During his existence, he was the epitome of humility. My sincere sympathies are sent to his family, especially his wife, children, and close friends who were affected by his passing. Even if there are no comforting words to relieve the sadness of his death, let us find solace in his good actions, which are permanently inscribed in the hearts of those who had the chance to meet him during his lifetime or listen to him during one of his radio programs.

 Tinubu Appoints Zacch Adedeji FIRS’ Acting Chairman

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has named acting chairman Zacch Adelabu, President Bola Tinubu's special revenue advisor.

In order to cover the vacancy left by the retirement leave of the departing chairman of the commission, Mohammed Nami, whose term expires in December 2023, Adedeji, who is 33, was requested to be former governor Abiola's finance commissioner. The certified public accountant just received his doctoral degree from the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. He is a native of the Iwo-Ate neighborhood of the Ogo-Oluwa local government in Oyo state.

The Labour Party (LP) leadership allegedly knows that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate, lost the poll on February 25 but is still insisting on telling Nigerians "lies" that Obi won. This is according to Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka. This was expressed by Soyinka on September 13 as he was speaking at a gathering in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

"First of all, two things occurred during the most recent election. The labor movement, which is not my favorite movement, was taken over by one party, which later evolved into a regional party. However, it was an amazing penetration into the two entrenched factions. There, Peter Obi accomplished something noteworthy in that he shattered the mold. He fell short of winning the election, though. I can state unequivocally that Peter Obi's party finished third, not even second, and that the leadership was aware of this, but they still wanted to use what Yorubas referred to as "blue," which is the force of lying. He spoke

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with both nations owing $117.5 trillion, the United States and China are jointly responsible for half of the $235 trillion in total global debt. In its report on global debt, titled Global Debt Is Returning to its Rising Trend, released on September 13th, the International Monetary Fund stated that as of 2022, the total amount of global To $235 trillion, or 238% of the world's GDP, debt has climbed by $200 billion.

However, the IMF blamed rich countries, claiming that China and the United States contributed $47.5 trillion and $70 trillion, respectively, to the global debt burden. Asserting that debt in low-income developing nations has increased "significantly in the last two decades," it said, "The pace of their increases since the global financial crisis has created challenges and vulnerabilities." The IMF emphasized the need to strengthen a country's ability to collect extra tax revenues for low-income developing nations.

It urged those with unmanageable debt to take a holistic approach that includes both financial restraint and the option of debt restructuring. The IMF said, "Importantly, lowering debt loads will free up budgetary flexibility and permit fresh investments, supporting economic development in the years to come. That objective would be supported by changes to the labor and product markets that increase potential production at the national level. International tax cooperation, including the imposition of a carbon price, may help to further reduce the strain on public finances.

Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs rebuked Elon Musk for calling the island "an integral part of China," saying that Taiwan is "not for sale" and that it is also not a part of China. Listen up, Taiwan is neither for sale nor a member of the PRC. Joseph Wu, Taiwan's foreign minister, made the statement late on Wednesday on X, a platform that was once known as Twitter. The People's Republic of China, which is China's official name, is referred to as PRC.

The statement was in reaction to what Musk had said at the recent All-In Summit in Los Angeles. "I believe I have a solid grasp of China. I've visited with top leadership there several times and at various levels for many years," Musk added. "As a foreigner, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of China." Since the island's 1949 civil war-induced separation from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan has been administered separately from the mainland. Taiwan is still seen by Beijing as a portion of its territory that has to be unified with the mainland, possibly by force.

 The CEO of Tesla, X, and SpaceX, Elon Musk, said, "China's policy has been to reunite Taiwan with China. From their perspective, it may be comparable to Hawaii or something like, like an essential component of China that is unjustly excluded from being a part of China.

Elon Musk could also ask the Chinese Communist Party to open X to its people, Wu said in a tweet. "Hope Elon Musk can also ask the CCP to open X to its people. Perhaps he thinks banning it is a good policy, like turning off Starlink to thwart Ukraine's counterstrike against Russia," Wu said.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Ukraine both criticized the action. Musk has incurred the wrath of the self-governing island before. The businessman received criticism from Taiwan last October for saying that tensions between China and Taiwan may be eased if Beijing had some sort of authority over Taiwan.

I'll provide the expertise I've gained over my 19 years of service to FCT-Fasawe. I'll provide the expertise I've gained over my 19 years of service to FCT-Fasawe. Akoni Olasunkanmi Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, the recently retired general manager of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), has promised to use the knowledge and stewardship he has gained over his 19 years of service in Lagos as the Federal Capital Territory's (FCT) mandate secretary for health and the environment.

Fasawe, the newly appointed secretary, claimed that her dedication to creating a sustainable environment in Lagos State and her track record of success in carrying out her key objectives were what made her appointment possible. In a formal statement issued on Wednesday from her office in Abuja, Fasawe expressed her sincere gratitude to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, for allowing her to provide food services to the good people of the state in her capacity as the general manager of LASEPA and for endorsing her in her new position. "This is a new dawn for me," claims Fasawe, "and I would bring the learning and stewardship I have acquired over 19 years in service to Lagos State, to my dual capacity as Mandate Secretary for Health Services and Environment."

 It is undoubtedly a huge honor and a chance for better results in the relevant fields under my guidance. She extended her gratitude to Barrister Nyesom Wike, Minister for the FCT, for giving her such weighty duties. Remember that Fasawe was a candidate for commissioner in Lagos before deciding to serve at the national level and contributing her fair share to President Bola Tinubu's administration's "Renewed Hope" Agenda.
