Stop Crying Wolf When There’s No Wolf” – President Mahama Jabs Ntim Fordjour

President John Mahama has issued a sharp rebuke to opposition MP Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, accusing him of fabricating claims about suspicious flights and drug trafficking in Ghana. In a thinly veiled reference to Aesop’s fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Mahama urged critics to avoid politicizing national security and wasting resources on baseless allegations78. The clash stems from Fordjour’s recent allegations that two flights—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B—landed in Ghana carrying cocaine and large sums of U.S. currency. The claims, which Fordjour described as a call for accountability, were met with skepticism from the government510. Mahama dismissed the accusations as “games of smoke and mirrors,” emphasizing that Ghana’s security agencies are already stretched thin addressing genuine threats like the conflict in Bawku and rising crime7.

Gunmen Kidnap US Missionary During Sermon In South Africa

In a brazen act of violence, gunmen stormed a church service in Durban, South Africa, kidnapping a U.S. missionary mid-sermon and sparking international outrage. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday evening, underscores growing concerns about organized crime, foreigner-targeted abductions, and security challenges in the region. The victim, identified as 42-year-old Pastor Michael Carter from Ohio, was leading a prayer session at a local congregation when armed men disrupted the gathering, firing shots into the air before seizing him. Eyewitnesses described chaos as worshippers fled, while the assailants escaped with Carter in a waiting vehicle. Local authorities have launched a manhunt, though no group has claimed responsibility. South Africa’s high crime rates, particularly kidnappings for ransom, have surged in recent years, with foreigners increasingly targeted due to perceptions of wealth. The U.S. State Department has issued repeated travel advisories warning citizens […]

Trump Envoy Arrives in Russia Seeking to Rekindle Ukraine War Talks

A high-profile envoy linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Moscow in a controversial bid to revive stalled negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war, reigniting debates about America’s role in the conflict and the feasibility of diplomacy amid escalating hostilities. The envoy, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly aims to broker backchannel talks between Russian officials and Western allies, though skepticism abounds over the mission’s legitimacy and potential outcomes. The surprise visit comes as Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts face logistical and tactical challenges, and international support for Kyiv shows signs of strain. While the Biden administration and NATO allies continue to emphasize military and financial aid to Ukraine, Trump-aligned figures have increasingly criticized the prolonged conflict, advocating for a negotiated settlement. Critics argue, however, that Trump’s envoy lacks formal U.S. government authority, raising questions about Moscow’s willingness to engage with […]

Tesla Halts Orders in China on U.S. Imported Models

Tesla has temporarily suspended orders for its U.S.-manufactured vehicles in China, signaling potential challenges in navigating trade dynamics and shifting consumer demand in the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) market. The move, confirmed by the company’s Chinese website, applies to imported Model S and Model X vehicles, raising questions about supply chain adjustments, tariff pressures, and Tesla’s localization strategy. Industry analysts suggest the pause reflects Tesla’s efforts to prioritize production at its Shanghai Gigafactory, which manufactures cheaper, locally made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles tailored to Chinese consumers. Imported U.S. models face steep tariffs and longer delivery times, making them less competitive against domestic rivals like BYD and NIO. By halting orders, Tesla may be streamlining operations to focus on cost-effective, locally produced EVs amid rising competition and economic headwinds. The decision also underscores broader tensions in U.S.-China trade […]

Elon Musk Criticizes Trump Trade Adviser, Revealing Tensions in Inner Circle

In a striking clash of ideologies, tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly criticized former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro, exposing simmering tensions within political and business circles. The disagreement, which unfolded on social media and in subsequent interviews, underscores deeper divides over trade policy, economic nationalism, and the role of global cooperation in fostering innovation. Navarro, a key architect of the Trump administration’s “America First” trade agenda, has long advocated for aggressive tariffs and decoupling from China—a stance that clashes with Musk’s reliance on global supply chains for companies like Tesla and SpaceX. Musk’s recent remarks targeted Navarro’s trade strategies as “short-sighted” and “detrimental to U.S. competitiveness,” arguing that isolationist policies stifle technological progress and harm industries dependent on international partnerships. The spat highlights a growing rift between pro-globalization business leaders and political figures pushing for economic protectionism. Navarro fired […]

Anambra Guber Race Upheaval: Moghalu Set for LP Ticket as Nwosu Exits Over Alleged Irregularities

The Labour Party (LP) governorship primary for Anambra State’s November 2025 election took a dramatic turn as aspirant John Nwosu withdrew hours before the vote, citing “grave irregularities” and leaving George Moghalu, former National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) chief, as the sole candidate. The controversy has cast a shadow over the party’s internal processes and raised questions about compliance with electoral guidelines. Nwosu’s Explosive Exit: Delegates, Deadlines, and “Illegality” In a scathing statement, Nwosu accused the LP of flouting its own constitution and INEC guidelines. Key grievances include: No delegate congress: Despite INEC requirements, Nwosu claimed no delegates were elected across Anambra’s 21 LGAs. A disputed list emerged just 8 hours before the primary. Abure’s “illegal” oversight: The primary was allegedly orchestrated by ex-LP National Chairman Julius Abure, whose tenure expired a day earlier following a Supreme Court ruling on April 4, 2025.
