All of them were fantastic and really helped guide us into being not just good footballers but also good men as well.” On his international ambitions, the London-born forward is looking to get his first call-up to the Super Eagles and represent the country at the next World Cup. “I want to kick on again, play international football. Play for Nigeria at the next World Cup, and hopefully as long as my performances keep being strong and improving, then I’ll do that.” The Super Eagles are blessed with a host of talented forwards at the moment, and Afolayan will have to improve his game to get his first invitation to the team. He has made 14 appearances across all competitions for St.Pauli this term and has two goals.
NoneEconomist Dr Damien King has described Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ announced 53 per cent cut in the General Consumption Tax (GCT) on electricity as “a bad move from every angle”. Set to take effect after the next Budget in March 2025, the GCT on the electricity component of a customer’s bill will move from 15 per cent to seven per cent. Holness made the announcement as he addressed the public session of the 81st annual conference of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) at the National Arena in St Andrew on Sunday. Some public commentators have already said the prime minister’s announcement is a mere general election ploy with the JLP trailing the Opposition People’s National Party in public opinion polls. The next general election is constitutionally due by September next year. READ: Holness announces 53% reduction in GCT on electricity Writing on the social media platform X on Monday, King said “...the election nonsense has begun”. King pointed out that GCT on electricity is the “perfect tax”. He said it was impossible to evade, progressive since rich people pay more and “cheap to collect since TAJ (Tax Administration Jamaica) does nothing (to enforce the tax)”. According to King “this will also disincentivise the transition to solar. A bad move from every angle”. In making the announcement, the prime minister noted that up to 30 per cent of Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) customers were unable to pay their electricity bills which contributes to electricity theft. He said JPS will also remove the non-tax threshold and replace it with an “incentivised, compatible rebate of GCT for persons who use 200 megawatts of electricity or less per month”. This, he said, will allow for the roll out of pre-paid electricity purchase which the JPS will be required to implement nationally, but particularly in vulnerable communities.

s the college football season reaches its thrilling conclusion, the Trophy debate has become a hot topic, with dominating the conversation. star , never one to shy away from controversy, has now added his voice to the mix. Parsons, fresh off helping his team secure a much-needed 34-26 victory over the Washington , took to social media to deliver his fiery take. The Cowboys' defensive leader didn't mince words, claiming, "We shouldn't even be discussing the Heisman!!! is the Heisman winner!!" The statement raised eyebrows, not only because of its boldness but also because Hunter remains the favorite for the prestigious award, boasting impressive odds of -400 compared to Jeanty's +400. Still, ' declaration has sparked a heated debate among fans and analysts alike. The ' win on Sunday was a pivotal moment in their season, snapping a five-game losing streak and temporarily silencing speculation about tanking for better draft prospects. Despite Parsons' insistence that Dallas wouldn't throw games for draft capital, questions linger about the team's future moves. With early mock drafts suggesting Jeanty could be a realistic pick for the , Parsons' endorsement carries added weight. The Boise State running back has shown tremendous promise and would fill a significant need for Dallas. However, Hunter's unique two-way abilities as both a cornerback and receiver could make him an irresistible option for any team drafting higher. Will Dallas embrace the tank? The ' draft strategy remains uncertain. If their Thanksgiving clash against the New York Giants results in another win, it could take them out of the running for top-tier prospects like Hunter. On the other hand, a poor finish to the season might position them to land the star, whose versatility has been lauded as a once-in-a-generation talent. As the NFL season pushes toward its postseason and college football nears its climactic awards ceremony, all eyes will be on how these narratives unfold. For now, Micah Parsons' passionate endorsement has ensured that Jeanty remains in the spotlight-and perhaps on the Cowboys' radar come draft day.
Nick Kern came off the bench for 20 points and 13 rebounds as Penn State remained unbeaten with an 85-66 thumping of Fordham in a semifinal of the Sunshine Slam on Monday in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Nittany Lions (6-0), who will play either San Francisco or Clemson for the tournament title on Tuesday, put four other players in double figures. Zach Hicks scored 16 points, while Puff Johnson added 15. Ace Baldwin and Yanic Konan Niederhauser each chipped in 12 points. Penn State sank nearly 53 percent of its field goal attempts and earned a 38-30 advantage on the boards, more than enough to offset missing 12 of its 32 foul shots. Four players reached double figures for the Rams (3-4), led by 15 points apiece from Jackie Johnson III and reserve Joshua Rivera. Romad Dean and Jahmere Tripp each added 13. Fordham was as close as 56-49 after Tripp made a layup with 14:25 left in the game. But the Nittany Lions responded with a 16-1 run, capped with a layup by Kern for a 22-point lead at the 9:33 mark, and they never looked back. The main storyline prior to tipoff was whether Penn State could continue its torrid early start that saw it come into the day leading Division I in steals and ranked second in scoring at 98.2 points per game. The Nittany Lions certainly played to their billing for most of the first half, establishing a 21-8 lead at the 10:08 mark via Hicks' three-point play. Fordham predictably struggled early with the pressure defense, committing four turnovers in the first four minutes. But the Rams got their bearings over the last 10 minutes and made some shots. They got as close as four on two occasions late in the half before Penn State pushed the lead to 42-34 at the half. The officials were busy in the half, calling 23 fouls and administering 27 free throws. --Field Level MediaTrump tax-cut plans could be slowed by a wary bond market
