As I explained in Book of Songs (our compendium of songs), I prefer when songs come to me naturally, organically. That's how I've written most of my songs. They come to me & I write them down. I don't go looking for them. I do not

Nigeria's economic sentiment worsens. The @cenbank Household Expectations Survey for August 2024 shows the Consumer Confidence Index dropped further to -44 from July's -41.7.

Meanwhile, inflation expectations fell to -63.2, signaling a bleak outlook. Both consumer confidence and inflation forecasts remain negative for the next 6 months, underscoring the fragile state of Nigeria's economy.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
