The council’s chairman and vice chairman were impeached for alleged gross misconduct, abuse of office, financial misappropriation, unlawful withholding of statutory allowances of a principal member and three other council members as well as budget padding. The principal officers of the council were allegedly suspended for inability to collaborate effectively with the local government chairmen, particularly in ensuring timely payment of salaries, the two-month delay in councillors’ salaries, failure to provide effective oversight and neglect of responsibilities. The motion for their impeachment was moved by Nosakhare Isiegbuwa, seconded by Stella Ogida Osagioduwa and signed by four legislators. The suspension of the former principal officers of the legislative arms was passed by five members, with one member absent. The House immediately swore in Kelvin Eguakun, the leader of the legislative arm, as the acting chairman of the council. Moving the motion for the impeachment, Nosakhare Isiegbuwa, at plenary on Friday, December 27, 2024, said the report submitted by the seven-man panel appointed to probe the allegations of gross misconduct against the chairman and vice chairman found the duo guilty of all the allegations.

Gabbard ignored shouted questions about her 2017 visit to war-torn Syria as she ducked into one of several private meetings with senators who are being asked to confirm Trump’s unusual nominees .

The incoming president’s Cabinet and top administrative choices are dividing his Republican allies and drawing concern , if not full opposition, from Democrats and others. Not just Gabbard, but other Trump nominees including Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth, were back at the Capitol ahead of what is expected to be volatile confirmation hearings next year. The incoming president is working to put his team in place for an ambitious agenda of mass immigrant deportations, firing federal workers and rollbacks of U.S. support for Ukraine and NATO allies. “We’re going to sit down and visit, that’s what this is all about,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., as he welcomed Gabbard into his office. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary pick Hegseth appeared to be picking up support from once-skeptical senators, the former Army National Guard major denying sexual misconduct allegations and pledging not to drink alcohol if he is confirmed. The president-elect’s choice to lead the FBI, Kash Patel , who has written extensively about locking up Trump’s foes and proposed dismantling the Federal Bureau of Investigation, launched his first visits with senators Monday. “I expect our Republican Senate is going to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” said Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on social media. Despite widespread concern about the nominees’ qualifications and demeanors for the jobs that are among the highest positions in the U.S. government, Trump’s team is portraying the criticism against them as nothing more than political smears and innuendo. Showing that concern, nearly 100 former senior U.S. diplomats and intelligence and national security officials have urged Senate leaders to schedule closed-door hearings to allow for a full review of the government’s files on Gabbard. Trump’s allies have described the criticisms of Hegseth in particular as similar to those lodged against Brett Kavanaugh, the former president’s Supreme Court nominee who denied a sexual assault allegation and went on to be confirmed during Trump’s first term in office. Said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., about Hegseth: “Anonymous accusations are trying to destroy reputations again. We saw this with Kavanaugh. I won’t stand for it.” One widely watched Republican, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, herself a former Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and sexual assault survivor who had been criticized by Trump allies for her cool reception to Hegseth, appeared more open to him after their follow-up meeting Monday. “I appreciate Pete Hegseth’s responsiveness and respect for the process,” Ernst said in a statement. Ernst said that following “encouraging conversations,” he had committed to selecting a senior official who will “prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks. As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources.” Ernst also had praise for Patel — “He shares my passion for shaking up federal agencies” — and for Gabbard. Once a rising Democratic star, Gabbard, who represented Hawaii in Congress, arrived a decade ago in Washington, her surfboard in tow, a new generation of potential leaders. She ran unsuccessfully for president in 2020. But Gabbard abruptly left the party and briefly became an independent before joining with Trump’s 2024 campaign as one of his enthusiasts, in large part over his disdain for U.S. involvement overseas and opposition to helping Ukraine battle Russia. Her visit to Syria to meet with then-President Bashar Assad around the time of Trump’s first inauguration during the country’s bloody civil war stunned her former colleagues and the Washington national security establishment. The U.S. had severed diplomatic relations with Syria. Her visit was seen by some as legitimizing a brutal leader who was accused of war crimes. Gabbard has defended the trip, saying it’s important to open dialogue, but critics hear in her commentary echoes of Russia-fueled talking points. Assad fled to Moscow over the weekend after Islamist rebels overtook Syria in a surprise attack, ending his family’s five decades of rule. She said her own views have been shaped by “my multiple deployments and seeing firsthand the cost of war and the threat of Islamist terrorism.” Gabbard said, “It’s one of the many reasons why I appreciate President Trump’s leadership and his election, where he is fully committed, as he has said over and over, to bring about an end to wars.” Last week, the nearly 100 former officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, said in the letter to Senate leaders they were “alarmed” by the choice of Gabbard to oversee all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. They said her past actions “call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress, and to the entire national security apparatus.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to coordinate the nation’s intelligence agencies and act as the president’s main intelligence adviser.

Generation Z is leading a significant shift in drinking habits . In fact, compared to preceding generations, Generation Z may be the soberest generation yet. Members of Gen Z consume about one-third less beer and wine than previous generations. They are also shifting toward alcohol-free beverages at a significantly higher rate . This trend, first observed in North America in the early 2000s, has since become a global phenomenon. Recent Gallup data shows a 10 per cent decline in alcohol use among U.S. adults aged 18 to 34 in the last decade. Across the Atlantic, a United Kingdom report found that consumers aged 20 to 24 are nearly half as likely to prioritize spending on alcoholic beverages for home consumption compared to those aged 75 and older. What sets Gen Z apart is that this change appears to be more than a passing trend. As researchers in consumer behaviour, we study the factors that influence and drive changes in consumer choices. Our expertise tells us that the rise of the “Lo/No” alcohol lifestyle reflects genuine change for Gen Z. Growing health and wellness consciousness, changing social patterns and evolving metacognition — an awareness of one’s own thought processes — have sparked their interest in the “sober curious ” movement. Health conscious and informed According to the World Health Organization, alcohol is linked to more than 200 health conditions , including cancer and liver disease. Historically, public awareness of such risks, specifically the links to cancer, has been low. A review of 32 studies across 16 countries found that awareness of alcohol as a cancer risk factor was generally low , with some variation across regions.

As a generation that has grown up in a digital age where health information is more accessible than ever, Gen Z appears to be more aware of the adverse effects of alcohol compared to older generations. Mental health awareness has also played an important role in magnifying this shift. Gen Z experiences higher rates of anxiety and depression than prior generations. However, along with millennials, they are also more likely than older generations to seek treatment or therapy from mental health professionals. Prioritizing mental health One of the most significant cultural changes among younger generations is the reduced stigma around mental health . This shift has been instrumental in encouraging open dialogue about the impact of alcohol on mental and emotional well-being. These open discussions have highlighted a growing recognition that alcohol often hinders, than than helps, in managing anxiety , getting quality sleep and staying emotionally resilient. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have amplified this dialogue, with advocates openly discussing their sobriety journeys. By doing so, they further normalize prioritizing mental health over traditional drinking habits. Many young people today see drinking as counterproductive to their mental health goals. They’re not afraid of challenging the old “let loose” mentality if it means staying sharp and feeling good. The ‘sober curious’ movement One of the defining characteristics of Gen Z is its heightened sense of self-awareness. Movements like the sober curiosity movement — a term popularized by cultural commentator Ruby Warrington in her 2018 book — reflect this. The sober curiosity movement encourages people to make conscious efforts to evaluate their relationship with alcohol. It aligns with a broader cultural shift among younger generations toward mindfulness and intentional decision-making across all areas of life . Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok are powerful drivers of Gen Z’s relationship with alcohol. These platforms provide spaces for sharing alcohol’s risks while celebrating alternatives. Social media platforms appear to be playing a significant role in normalizing “ intermittent sobriety ” — a term that describes a pattern where individuals abstain from consuming alcohol and/or other substances for a select period of time. Influencers have shared their experiences with “dry months” and the subsequent improved mental clarity and productivity, inspiring others to follow suit. Changing social dynamics As digital natives, Gen Z and millennials are acutely aware of the lasting impact of their digital footprints . Growing up under the constant gaze of social media, they understand that actions — especially those influenced by alcohol — can be immortalized online, so they are more cautious about engaging in behaviours they might later regret. Social media has also shifted the focus of social interaction. Historically, alcohol consumption has often been a centerpiece of social gatherings . But today, alternative activities like wellness retreats, sober-friendly events and even dry bars are becoming increasingly popular. Looking ahead, businesses need to rethink how they cater to a generation drinking less alcohol. Some businesses, like With Grace Marketplace — a bottle shop specializing in alcohol-free alternatives — are already doing this. Influencers and campaigns like #SoberLife and #SobrietyJourney promoting sober lifestyles have further normalized and celebrated alcohol-free living. Many younger people are redefining what it means to have fun without the need for alcohol. For younger generations, meaningful social experiences are less about following traditional scripts and more about creating inclusive and intentional environments.Newsom wants CA consumers to pay to replace $7,500 federal EV credit, Tesla excluded
Lara Trump stepping down as RNC co-chair and addressing speculation about Florida Senate seatIn recent years, the Chinese Super League has witnessed a significant influx of foreign talent, with top players from around the world choosing to ply their trade in the rapidly developing football market of China. While this has undoubtedly raised the profile of Chinese football and helped improve the overall quality of the league, there is a growing consensus that in order for Chinese football to truly transform and compete at the global level, the focus must shift towards nurturing and developing local talent. One of the key strategies in achieving this goal is to encourage young Chinese players to seek opportunities in Europe, where they can challenge themselves against the best and gain valuable experience that can benefit both themselves and Chinese football as a whole.
