The NDC should ensure that Sedinam Tamakloe serves her full 10-year sentence in the MASLOC case. Any attempt to alter it will be strongly resisted. People are tired of the politics and alleged cover-ups in the country. - AKOKOA
What can go wrong with machine learning? While at NDC in Toronto, Richard chatted with Megan Robertson about her experience with machine learning projects, often using retail datasets, and where they can go wrong. Megan talks about getting clear expectations and metrics for projects, so you know when you succeed, but then digs into the specifics of problems in machine learning, such as overfitting on test data. Your results are only as good as the data you put in, so a lot of focus goes into building good sets, carefully developing the model with those sets, and using techniques like cross-validation to ensure the model is behaving appropriately. There's a lot that can go wrong, but the results with an effective model can be very powerful - it is worth the effort! Links Cross Validate Model Megan's Website Recorded May 7, 2026

In Nigeria's political space, internal party disputes are not new. But when those disputes move from party offices into the electoral arena, they raise far more serious questions.The Peoples Democratic Party, one of the country's biggest opposition platforms, is once again at the centre of such uncertainty. Competing factions within the party continue to lay claim to authority, raising concerns about who truly represents the PDP structure.But beyond the leadership struggle lies a more complex scenario what happens if rival factions of the same party go beyond disagreement and present separate candidates in an election?At that point, the issue is no longer just about party unity. It becomes a question of legality, recognition, and ultimately, where votes will go on election day.So today on Nigeria Daily, we examine the unfolding situation within the PDP, speak with a Daily Trust correspondent following the crisis closely, hear from a lawyer on the legal implications, and later, a political analyst helps us understand what this could mean for Nigeria's opposition politics going forward.
This episode featured @nigeriasbest and @phoenix_agenda They discussed:2027 General Election Primaries with a focus on ADC and NDC

For years in Nigerian politics, incumbency was seen as almost untouchable. Once you occupied political office, many believed securing another party ticket was only a formality. But the latest APC primaries across Nigeria have challenged that belief, as several serving lawmakers and political heavyweights lost their return tickets despite their influence and political structures. So, what really changed? Has the power of incumbency weakened, or are deeper political forces quietly reshaping the APC ahead of 2027? Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine why many incumbent office holders could not survive the APC primaries and what it could mean for Nigeria's political future.

The Suame Constituency Women's Wing of the NDC publicly appealed to regional and national executives to resolve mounting grassroots apathy and neglect. Led by Women's Organizer Asmawu Bello (alias Empress), the group accused the Suame Municipal Chief Executive, Frank Owusu Ansah, of nepotism and sidelining active party members.
More than a decade after leaving office, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is once again becoming a major topic in Nigeria's political conversation.From social media campaigns to growing public debates, some Nigerians say the country needs Jonathan's leadership style back, while others believe Nigeria should focus on new political alternatives instead of returning to former leaders.But are these calls truly widespread among Nigerians… or simply driven by nostalgia and frustration with current realities?In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine the growing calls for Jonathan's return, what Nigerians really think about it, and whether such a comeback is politically realistic.

W drugim odcinku serii poświęconej emeryturom eksperci bez owijania w bawełnę analizują różnice między systemami NDC i DC oraz odpowiadają na pytanie, dlaczego dotychczasowe rozwiązania przestają działać. W dyskusji o globalnych trendach demograficznych i o tym, czy sytuacja Polski jest na tym tle wyjątkowa, udział wzięli prof. dr hab. Irena Kotowska z Instytutu Statystyki i Demografii SGH oraz dr Michał Rutkowski, dyrektor ds. polityki społecznej i zdrowia w Banku Światowym. Tę niezwykle ważną i pełną mocnych wniosków rozmowę poprowadził Kamil Kuć.
In Nigeria's political space, loyalty is often tested and sometimes, it doesn't last.A wave of defections is sweeping through the country sparking debate, raising eyebrows, and leaving many voters wondering where their leaders truly stand.From one party to another, politicians continue to switch allegiances… sometimes overnight, and often without explanation.For some, it's a matter of political survival.For others, it raises serious concerns about trust, accountability, and respect for the voters' mandate.Because when Nigerians cast their votes, they are not just choosing individuals…They are choosing parties, policies, and promises.So what happens when those choices suddenly change?Should politicians be free to move as they please…Or should there be consequences?Should Nigerian politicians be sanctioned for defecting?That's our focus today on Nigeria Daily.
In Nigeria's political space, alliances are rarely permanent and loyalties often shift when least expected.In recent days, the political scene has been stirred by fresh realignments and heated debates, following reports of key figures leaving the ADC coalition for a new platform the NDC.With these developments, questions are now being asked about what this means for Nigeria's opposition politics ahead of the next general election.Is this the beginning of a stronger, more united front? Or another cycle of political fragmentation that weakens the opposition once again?And today, we are looking at: Can the NDC become the new third force in Nigeria's politics?
NDC's call in opposition for the removal of Ernest Addison as Governor was needless - Dr. George Domfeh
As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, familiar patterns of division within the opposition are beginning to re-emerge.In 2023, key figures like Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ran on separate platforms, splitting votes and aiding the APC's victory. Now, fresh defections into the ADC and shifting political alignments are once again raising concerns about opposition unity.On this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine whether history could repeat itself and what it means for the opposition's chances in 2027.
On this episode, Oluwakayode and The Guru lead with the major political talking point — Peter Obi's reported defection to the NDC — unpacking the implications, reactions, and what it could mean for Nigeria's political landscape.Building on that, the duo move into a comprehensive review of newspaper front pages, breaking down the top stories across politics, governance, and the economy. With The Guru's historical insight and Oluwakayode's sharp delivery, the conversation connects the dots beyond the headlines.Analytical and engaging, this episode offers clarity on the narratives shaping national discourse and the power moves behind them.

Rising tensions in Ejisu after a group of NDC youth locked up the NHIA office, demanding that the Municipal Director position be given to an insider aligned with the party. The Minority in Parliament has strongly condemned the incident, describing it as “cruel and uncivilised”, and is calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those involved.
NDC should dare not attribute its mismanagement of the economy to the US-Israeli-Iran conflict because it will never be accepted. If the Russia-Ukraine war was not considered a valid factor affecting Ghana's economy in 2020, then attempts to use such conflicts as excuses going forward will also be rejected. - Richard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications, NPP
A new survey is providing a clearer picture of the challenges businesses across the Twin Cities are facing due to the two-month long surge of federal agents.

Independent pharmacies are dispensing more prescriptions than ever—but too many are seeing their profits shrink month after month. In this episode of This Week in Pharmacy, hosts Todd Eury and CEO of MatchRx Johny Kello sit down with Saeed Dinno Director of Pharmacy for a group of independent pharmacies in MI. For a practical, plain-English breakdown of one of the most overlooked metrics impacting pharmacy profitability: GCR, let's dive into this! This episode isn't about policy debates, compliance theory, or vendor hype. It's a real-world conversation designed to help pharmacy owners, managers, and buyers understand how everyday sourcing and dispensing behaviors directly influence margin—often without anyone realizing it. Saeed explains what GCR actually measures, what it does not measure, and why two pharmacies filling the exact same prescription can end up with completely different financial outcomes. From convenience buying and emergency orders that become routine, to default NDC selection and a disconnect between the buyer and the bench, the episode highlights the subtle habits that quietly erode profitability over time. More importantly, the conversation delivers actionable steps pharmacies can implement immediately. Saeed outlines the core disciplines that improve performance—smarter buying strategy, better alignment between purchasing and dispensing, and simple operational guardrails that don't slow workflow. The focus is not on “working harder,” but on working differently. The episode closes with a clear, clip-worthy takeaway: one specific action pharmacy leaders can take this month to start moving the needle. If you've ever wondered why your pharmacy is busy but the numbers don't reflect it, this is an episode you'll want to listen to twice—and put into practice the very next day. Second segment of TWIRx is with Jonathan Adly, CEO of TJM Labs, to discuss his powerful new book, The Innovative Pharmacy: How to Build an 8-Figure Pharmacy One Idea at a Time. At a time when independent pharmacies are being squeezed by rising labor costs, shrinking reimbursements, and increasing operational complexity, Adly delivers a refreshing message: success is still possible—but it requires innovation, clarity, and execution. Jonathan shares why this book is not a “one-size-fits-all” business blueprint, but a collection of real-world frameworks inspired by hundreds of high-performing pharmacies across the U.S. and Canada. We explore the principles behind sustainable growth, including identifying your ideal customer, building scalable systems through automation, simplifying operations, and playing offense when the math works. This conversation is a call to action for pharmacy leaders ready to build smarter, faster, and stronger—one bold idea at a time. This episode of TWIRx is sponsored by MatchRx, TJM Labs, Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and Sykes & Company.

It's the trillion-dollar problem: funds are on the table - but the money isn't always flowing to where it's needed most. As Hurricane Melissa batters the Caribbean, it leaves behind a stark reminder of what's at stake when finance fails to reach the most climate-vulnerable places.This week on Inside COP, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith unpack what it will take to fix the world's climate finance system, and make COP30 a turning point from pledges to real investment.The team are joined by guest host Sue Reid, Climate Finance Advisor at Global Optimism, to demystify the landscape of public and private finance and explain how smarter systems - not just bigger sums - can unlock climate action at scale. And Avinash Persaud of the Inter-American Development Bank, outlines the major finance innovations to watch in Belém, from debt-swap facilities to the ReInvest+ initiative.Plus, the team considers the latest NDC synthesis report, which highlights the gap between where we are and where we need to be. But do these nationally determined contributions reflect the real-world momentum already underway - or just mirror the politics of the moment?Learn more:
For COP30, the international climate talks in Brazil in November, the countries of the world are supposed to roll out their new Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs: their commitments to cut emissions. China's NDC is particularly eagerly awaited: it is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Its NDC has been described as the most important document that will be published this year. In this edition of the Energy Gang, recorded at New York University, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe (Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab) explore the security, technology and climate implications of China's energy policy. They are joined by someone who knows a lot about China's role in the energy transition: David Sandalow, who is the Inaugural Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. He talks through China's rapid clean energy rollout, from solar to EVs, and its implications for the race for dominance in AI. We also welcome back Joseph Webster of the Atlantic Council, who studies China's energy system and the implications for geopolitics.China's energy surge in recent years has been staggering. The country added 217 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2023, and kept growing into 2024 and 2025. It is also leading the world in batteries and electric vehicles. Joseph explains how China's energy investments intersect with military tech, particularly in AI and batteries, positioning China as a global leader in energy and technology innovation. Is the US struggling to keep up?Then, late drama! While we were recording, China finally released its new NDC, pledging a relatively modest 7-10% emissions reduction from peak levels. Some other countries and climate campaigners had hoped for more ambition. But the numbers involved are still staggering. The NDC sets a target of expanding wind and solar capacity to 3,600 GW by 2035, six times 2020 levels, and three times the entire generation capacity of the US, in all technologies. Ed, Amy, David and Joseph react to the news in real time and debate what it means for energy in the US and beyond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
