Denmark's Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory already on its way out

COPENHAGEN, Jan 10 (Reuters) - When U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets his Danish and Greenlandic counterparts next week, Denmark will be defending a territory that has been moving steadily away from it and towards independence since 1979.

President Donald Trump's threats to seize Greenland have triggered a wave of European solidarity with Denmark. But the crisis has exposed an uncomfortable reality - Denmark is rallying support to protect a territory whose population wants independence, and whose largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and negotiate directly with Washington.

Victor Osimhen On The Score-sheet As Super Eagles Sink Algeria To Reach AFCON Semi-Finals (Vid)

Nigeria secured a place in the semi-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco after recording a convincing 2–0 victory over Algeria in Saturday night’s quarter-final encounter.

The Super Eagles, under the guidance of coach Eric Chelle, controlled large spells of the first half but were frustrated by Algeria’s defence and failed to find the breakthrough before the interval. Nigeria came closest in the opening 45 minutes when Calvin Bassey’s goal-bound effort was dramatically cleared off the line.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the Super Eagles for their impressive performance against Algeria, following the team’s victory that secured Nigeria a place in the semifinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The President shared his commendation in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he lauded the players for their brilliance and inspiring display on the pitch.

The Nigerian Tax Act 2025 has officially exempted “stakes” from Value Added Tax (VAT), removing a key provision that previously impacted the operations of gaming and lottery operators.

This is according to Section 185, Subsection M of the Act, which includes “money, stakes or securities including interest in money or securities” in its list of VAT-exempt items.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima are collectively budgeted to spend N11.03 billion on State House operations in 2026 fiscal year.

The figures were extracted from the federal government’s budget details captured on page 4 of 2026 appropriation bill which was analyzed by Nairametrics.

Throughout history, the Bible has used powerful stories to warn leaders about the dangers of pride, oppression, and hardened hearts. One of the most striking examples is Pharaoh in the book of Exodus—a ruler who believed his power was absolute, who dismissed the cries of the oppressed, and who resisted repeated warnings until the consequences became unavoidable.

Today, many observers around the world see troubling parallels between that ancient story and the way former U.S. President Donald Trump often behaves on the global stage. This comparison is not made lightly, nor out of hatred, but as a moral reflection rooted in Scripture and conscience.

Pharaoh’s Sin: Power Without Compassion

Pharaoh was not condemned simply because he was powerful. He was condemned because he used power to oppress. He enslaved a people, ignored their suffering, and mocked divine warnings. Even when signs and opportunities for repentance appeared, Pharaoh repeatedly hardened his heart.
