President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, recently proposed the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the U.S., suggesting that the move could benefit both nations.

In a post shared on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, Trump claimed that many Canadians are open to the idea.

Trump argued that Canadians would stand to gain significantly from joining the U.S., particularly in terms of saving on taxes and receiving military protection.

He stated, “Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State.

They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State.”

This isn’t the first time Trump has floated the idea of merging the two countries.

Back in November, he linked the proposal to his concerns about the ongoing issues of fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration, which he believes could be addressed by merging the nations.

In a conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, the U.S. President-elect suggested that such a merger could help resolve these pressing issues.

Trump’s suggestion that Canada could join the U.S. has sparked mixed reactions.

Supporters of the idea argue that it could bring financial stability and greater security to both nations.

However, critics point out the complexities and challenges that such a merger would entail, including political, cultural, and legal hurdles.

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.

Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.

She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.

She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.

The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.

Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.

He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”

Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
