Mahama’s ‘Onuador’ vans only fit to sell ice-cream and Yoghurt- Abronye DC jabs
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe popularly known as Abronye DC has descended heavily on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) bigwigs for making ‘noise’ about the delays that characterized the distribution of ambulances by Akufo-Addo-led government. The NPP executive in response to criticism made by the Ranking Member on the Health of Parliament and NDC MP for Sefwi Akotombra, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh said the so-called 8 ‘Onuador’ mobile clinic vans procured under the erstwhile administration are not fit for purpose which must be their major concern instead. Mr. Akando had earlier revealed to the media that the jamboree to commission only about 200 ambulances out of the 275 the government was needless. “The jamboree and funfair was needless,” he said, adding that though he propagated for distribution of the ambulances, the accompanying funfair was a waste of state resources”, he said He further explained that he was reliably informed that only 130 out of 200 ambulances…

Oh Boy, Elon Musk Made An EDM Song Called “Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe”
We, as a culture, have made the terrible decision to deify ruthless capitalist weirdo businessmen, and we get what we deserve. In this case, what we deserve is an EDM track called "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe," made by a car executive who seems to be going through a deep and profound midlife crisis. This morning, Tesla CEO and elaborate Grimes accessory Elon Musk was dropped his new banger "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe" on the SoundCloud page of his own Emo G Records. This is the second Emo G recording; the first was a 2019 Auto-Tuned rap named "RIP Harambe." "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe" definitely sounds like a song that a 48-year-old billionaire might make if he was dating Grimes. On Twitter, Musk has shared some truly ghastly photos of himself in the studio and claimed that he "wrote the lyrics & performed the vocals" himself. Those lyrics are: "Don't doubt your vibe/ Because it's true/ Don't doubt your vibe/ Because it's you." He wrote that himself! The cover art is a Tesla Cybertruk orbiting Mars. Take a

Drake & Future – “Desires”
A few weeks ago, Drake and Future resumed their longtime partnership — highlighted by the 2015 collaborative album What A Time To Be Alive — with a new collaborative single called "Life Is Good." The song debuted at #2, becoming Future's biggest chart hit ever and giving Drake the record for most Hot 100 entries. Despite being credited to Future with Drake as a featured artist, "Life Is Good" fueled rumors of a new collaborative release from the superstar duo. Now another Drake and Future track is out, so those rumors are not likely to go away. Whereas "Life Is Good" was essentially a Drake song and a Future song stitched together with an awkward faux-"Sicko Mode" beat switch, the new "Desires" is basically a Drake song that Future lurks through for a few seconds. Produced by d.hill, it's one of those soft and airy songs in which Drake sweetly sings bitter words at a woman he's contentiously involved with. One memorable extremely Drake sequence: "How the fuck you keep so many secrets

Nonprofit Receives Grant to Help Prevent Local Oil Production

Three oil companies are proposing to drill and operate over 700 new wells in Cat Canyon Oil Field, posing dangerous threats to clean air, clean water, public safety, and our climate. What’s more, these oil companies are not proposing conventional oil drilling, which is risky enough, but rather they are seeking permits for extreme, enhanced oil extraction processes known as cyclic steam injection and steam flooding, which are far riskier and more energy intensive than traditional drilling. The Environmental Defense Center (EDC) has just received $10,000 in grant funding from the Fund for Santa Barbara to help confront this major threat.

Phony Ppl – “Fkn Around” (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion)

Today, they're finally sharing the studio version of the song, and as you might be able to guess from the title, "Fkn Around" is a smoothly funky jam about fucking around: "You got a man, but you're fuckin' around/ Riskin' it all, baby, just to get down." "We have some overlapping people on our teams," Phony Ppl singer Elbee Thrie tells NPR, explaining how the collab came to be. "One of them brought the song to her with a disclaimer, 'I know you don't usually do this.' But she gave it an organic listen and was feelin' it. And with the topic being what it was, having a woman on the song who could pen a great verse was what we wanted. And that's exactly what she did." Listen to "Fkn Around" below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STpRa2JPFA0

Steel & Tube expecting large first half loss
One of the the country's largest steel manufacturers says adverse trading conditions will result in a large first half loss. Steel & Tube warned in November that its first half result would be less than last year's profit, but conditions were worse than expected, further impacting sales revenue and volumes. It was now forecasting a loss in underlying EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of between $36 million and $37m in the six months to December, compared with a $9.8m underlying profit the year earlier. The result included non-cash charges of $37m related to a write-down in the company's goodwill, as well as $2m in restructuring costs and $2m in debt write-offs. The bottom line would be further affected by another $2m to $3m charge resulting from changes in tax accounting.
Consumers relatively upbeat in latest confidence index
Low interest rates and a stronger housing market are keeping consumers relatively buoyant. The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Index was unchanged at 123 in January, sitting around its best level in more than a year.

"New Zealand consumers are feeling pretty alright about things at the moment - the labour market remains tight, interest rates are low and the housing market is lifting again," ANZ's chief economist Sharon Zollner said. She said the lift in the housing market was likely behind the rise in those thinking its a good time to buy a major household item, which in turn would support the retail sector.
