Daily Post Nigeria Nigeria will overcome her challenges with hope in God – Catholic Bishop, Odetoyinbo Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News Nigeria will overcome her challenges with hope in God – Catholic Bishop, Odetoyinbo Published on December 24, 2024 By Gift Oba The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abeokuta, Most Rev. Peter Odetoyinbo, has admonished Nigerians to put their hope and trust in God, who alone can help them out of the present hardship in the country. Bishop Odetoyinbo, who gave the admonition in his 2024 Christmas Message to Nigerians, called for collective efforts by all citizens in enthroning the structure of hope that will positively impact the lives of the citizenry. He maintained that Nigerians must also identify and support vulnerable groups. The Bishop opined that the government should identify critical areas of need and possible interventions such as food, education, health care, housing, and security, adding that affordable loans should be made available to small and medium-scale enterprises and providing the enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country. He said, “More interventions from government in these areas will enthrone the structures of ‘Renewed Hope’ that government intends to establish”. “The various agencies of government should work to instil hope in Nigerians by designing people-centred policies that will prioritize the well-being of Nigerians. “While the government has enjoined the people to be patient for the positive effects of the removal of fuel subsidy to materialize, we urge the government to ensure that the savings from fuel subsidy removal and flotation of the Naira be reinvested to building infrastructures and addressing the raging economic problems affecting our people”. Acknowledging the increased monthly allocation to State governments, increased workers’ minimum wage, student loans, cash transfer schemes to the vulnerable, 2025 budget among others, Bishop Odetoyinbo advised that more should be done in areas of food inflation, fixing our local refineries to meet contemporary standards, investment in social programs, fixing incessant collapse of the national grid and addressing insecurity headlong. “We have an opportunity again this Christmas to allow truth to become the loudest voice in our lives as it provides an avenue for us to move from hopelessness to better living conditions and opportunities for businesses to thrive. God does not change, even when our circumstances do. Our God reigns and in Him we hope and trust. Hence, He sent His Son Jesus Christ as the reason for our joy and hope of Christmas. We must allow this understanding of hope to reshape and renew our minds towards building the Nigeria of our dream”. “As we draw closer to the end of year 2024, we must learn to hope and trust in God who alone can help us out of the socio-political, economic and religious crisis of our country. We do our part as responsible citizens and urge the government to enthrone the structures of hope in Nigeria. “Our message at this Christmas is that God is with us in Nigeria and we should never lose hope in our common pursuit to build a nation where peace and justice shall reign, assuring that “Nigeria will rise again, and it will happen in our time”, he added.

Stressing the need for polls at the earliest, he also said the reports by the reform commissions formed by the interim government should be discussed in parliament. The BNP leader made the remarks while speaking to reporters after a meeting with some other political parties at the party chairperson's Gulshan office. At the meeting, leaders of Gono Odhikar Parishad (Rashed); Gono Forum, Bam Gonotantrik Oikya; Bangladesh Sadharon Chhatra Odhikar Songrokkhon Parishad; Peoples Party; and National Awami Party (Bhashani) – parties that previously organised joint movements with BNP against the former Awami League government – expressed their dissatisfaction with the interim government's performance so far. They urged the interim government to hold discussions with political parties and announce an election date, adding that reforms should be carried out through an elected parliament after the polls. They also called for initiatives to bridge the gap among the parties. The leaders criticised the formation of a new political party and vowed to continue opposing the government until their demands are met, meeting sources said. Speaking anonymously, one of the leaders at the meeting said the interim government is likely to take time to form a new party, raising concerns for BNP and others. After the meeting, Gono Adhikar Parishad General Secretary Rashed Khan accused the interim government of avoiding the banning of AL by putting the blame on BNP. "Our clear statement is that we'll build a mass resistance against those who rehabilitate the Awami League." He too blamed the government of "wasting time to form a party". Mostafa Mohsin Montu, president of a faction of Gono Forum, called for unity based on the spirit of the 1971 Liberation War. "There is no alternative to unity in the current political situation. For the last 15 years, people have been deprived of their voting rights. After August 5, the opportunity for change has come." Montu also said that reform proposals must be discussed in parliament, adding, "We want to solve the problems through an elected government." Shamsul Alam, coordinator of Bam Gonotantrik Oikya, said, "The government will be requested to hold elections as soon as possible," while Ismail Samrat, convener of Bangladesh Sadharon Chhatra Odhikar Songrokkhon Parishad, demanded that the election be held by next June or July. "Awami League loyalists are still in the administration. Prices of goods are rising, and the law-and-order situation is worsening," Samrat added. Meanwhile at a separate event yesterday, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said there was no place in his party for those who were involved in killings, corruption and terror activities. He made the comment at the Thakurgaon Public Library during a blanket distribution programme. About removing autocracy, corruption and fascism from the country, he said, "The only way to overcome corruption and fascism is by establishing the people's rule. In other words, there is no alternative to governing the country through a parliament elected by the people."

KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Justin Patterson reiterated his overweight, or buy, rating on Netflix stock and raised his price target to 1,000 from 785. He noted that Netflix stock has historically peaked around nine times enterprise value to next 12 months revenue, where shares are now. But he thinks things may have changed. "While this suggests investors may have priced-in recent momentum, we see several reasons to believe NFLX can outperform the S&P 500 into 2025: 1) competitive intensity is moderating; 2) live events should drive more engagement; 3) revenue and EPS (earnings per share) growth should hold up better than peers; and 4) meaningful EPS and FCF (free cash flow) generation provides more of a valuation floor than in the past," Patterson said in a client note. In morning trades on the , Netflix stock advanced a fraction to 915. Netflix stock has surged recently on the narrative that the internet television network has won the streaming video market. And live content moves and returning hit series should increase its lead as it gains both viewers and advertisers, he said. Netflix's next live content play will be on Wednesday: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans. The Houston game will feature a halftime performance by music superstar Beyoncé. Netflix is hoping to avoid the technical snafus that marred its live broadcast of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match on Nov. 15. That event suffered by buffering, poor image quality and audio problems. Netflix Stock Is On Two IBD Lists Live programming is important to Netflix's nascent advertising business. Advertisers like live events because they draw engaged viewers. Netflix is spending heavily to add live content. It reportedly paid $150 million to air this year's two Christmas football games, with additional NFL games set for the 2025 and 2026 holiday seasons. Netflix also signed a $5 billion, 10-year deal for WWE programming, with the pro wrestling broadcasts starting Jan. 6.

The Salvation Army and Supporters Show That Everyday Generosity Can Make a Change for 27 Million People in AmericaFive million euros for HydroPulse Stuttgart – hydrogen filling stations, fuel cell transporters and high-temperature fuel cells planned – Stadtwerke Stuttgart (SWS) is delighted to have received a further five million euros in funding for its innovative hydrogen project Green Hydrogen Hub Stuttgart (GH 2 S). The project is helping to make the energy transition efficient and economical and to make the Stuttgart economic region fit for the future. The Committee for Business, Infrastructure and Administration of the Stuttgart Region Association provided the funding for the HydroPulse Stuttgart sub-project at its most recent meeting. It is to be used to build a hydrogen filling station and to develop and supply hydrogen to another filling station in the Stuttgart Neckar Valley. Both filling stations will be connected to the planned H2 GeNeSiS pipeline. In addition, the procurement of three fuel cell transporters and the installation of a high-temperature fuel cell on the new EnergyCampus in Stuttgart-Wangen are planned. The Green Hydrogen Hub Stuttgart, the production facility for green hydrogen in the Stuttgart port, is already in the starting blocks. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project is scheduled for spring 2025. Three electrolyzers will go into operation there from the end of 2026 and will produce up to 1,000 tons of high-purity hydrogen from green electricity every year. Thanks to the funding commitment, the HydroPulse Stuttgart sub-project can now also be implemented at the same time. This is because the production plant is linked to a logistics concept for supplying industry, research and development as well as two hydrogen filling stations for heavy goods vehicles and other vehicles. The regionally produced hydrogen will be transported to the H2 filling stations via the planned H2 GeNeSiS pipeline, or alternatively via trailer to other partners and customers. SWS project manager , says : “It is therefore an ideal addition to our overall Green Hydrogen Hub project.” The overall project consists of three components: the Green Hydrogen Hub Stuttgart (GH 2 S), the H2 GeNeSiS pipeline and HydroPulse Stuttgart. The total volume of the HydroPulse Stuttgart sub-project, which is scheduled to be completed in December 2026, amounts to around eleven million euros. A total of around 80 percent of the funding will go towards the construction, development and supply of the hydrogen filling stations and their connection to the pipeline. The remaining portion is available, among other things, for the procurement of three vehicles with fuel cell drives and the installation of the oxide ceramic fuel cell (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, or SOFC for short) on the EnergyCampus of the Stuttgart municipal utilities. the latest news shaping the hydrogen market at Five million euros for HydroPulse Stuttgart – hydrogen filling stations, fuel cell transporters and high-temperature fuel cells planned World Energy GH2 – Newfoundland wind-to-hydrogen company eyes data centre as international market lags A company hoping to build a multi-billion-dollar wind-to-hydrogen project in western Newfoundland is eyeing...

The reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a late Chuba Hubbard touchdown and two-point conversion had made it 27-27, the Chiefs got the ball back with less than two minutes on the clock and a 33-yard run from Mahomes helped set up Spencer Shrader for a game-winning field goal.

'Humiliating smackdown': Gaetz's failed nomination was early ‘gross test’ for Senate

Defending the president’s decision, Tafa explained that, Boko acted within the bounds of his executive authority and used his prerogative of mercy to rectify an injustice to the late Pitseng Gaoberekwe’s family. “I don’t have the details of the judgment but what I understand is that the President has Executive powers to grant mercy event after a conviction. For example, a person can be convicted and be sentenced to death but the president can use prerogative of mercy and reverse the sentence. The president has those executive powers. He did not overrule the judgment, he is only using prerogative of mercy,” explained Tafa. Gaoberekwe was a CKGR Mosarwa man whose body has been lying in the mortuary for the past three years due to conflict over his burial ground. A quick background of the matter is that Gaoberekwe left CKGR in 2014 to settle in New Xade, a settlement created by government to relocate the Basarwa from the reserve. New Xade offered free essential services from government including health centre and social welfare benefits among others. According to his family, it was during the time that Gaoberekwe was battling a lengthy sickness that he went to New Xade to access some of the health services and was in the process enrolled in welfare programmes. After his passing on Christmas Eve 2021, his family expressed a desire to bury him in the CKGR, a place deeply tied to their identity and traditions. However, government through Gantsi District Council, blocked the request citing the family’s relocation to New Xade. The ensuing legal action attracted the interests of human rights activists and attorneys, including Duma Boko, who at the time was running a law-firm in the capital city Gaborone. Despite losing the case at the High Court and the Court of Appeal, the family did not give up, as they took their fight to international platforms accusing government of human rights violations. Nonetheless, fate intervened when Boko won the elections and assumed the presidency, giving the family a chance to appeal directly to the highest office. Responding to the matter, Press Secretary to the President, Emang Mutapati explained that government would abandon the earlier court victory and allow the burial in the CKGR. “There is nothing untoward about the President declaring that Pitseng Gaoberekwe will be buried in CKGR, his ancentral land on Human Rights Day on December 10th because government was a client in that court case and any client has the right to abandon any judgment which is in their favour if they so wish.” Mutapati added that , denying Gaoberekwe the right to be buried in his ancestral ground was a violation of his rights in the first place. “Besides to have denied this son of the soil his right to rest with his ancestors was a gross human rights violation to begin with and President Boko is only correcting a wrong that should have not been allowed to happen in the first place.” While President Boko’s decision has been hailed a victory for indigenous rights, it has also raised questions about the boundaries of presidential powers. Detractors have argued that the decision sets a concerning precedent, while sympathisers view it as a necessary correction to years of marginalisation faced by the CKGR community.
