Leaders from Otjozondjupa want everyone to remember how special Sam Nujoma was. James Uerikua tells us Nujoma worked hard to make life better for all Namibians. He built many things to help people live better lives.
Nujoma loved children very much. He made a school at his farm called Etunda near Otavi. He also built a place where sick people could see doctors. In 2017, he gave this medical place to the government health workers. Uerikua thinks all Namibians should try to be kind like Nujoma.
Marlayn Mbakera says Nujoma kept helping people even after he stopped being president. He made many useful places at his farm. People could buy food, put gas in their cars, stay at a nice place to sleep, and have fun there. He let more than 100...
The police want to find Ghana's old money leader, Ken Ofori-Atta. He left his country because people say he did bad things with Ghana's money. Kissi Agyabeng, who helps catch thieves, says they will bring him back.
People think Ofori-Atta wasted lots of money on a special building called a cathedral. The building never happened, but he spent US$58 million on it. That equals about N$1 billion. He hasn't said anything about what people think he did wrong.

Rubio said Trump's plan might have shocked people, but he thinks it takes courage to try new ideas. Netanyahu liked the plan and said he would help make it happen. He also said he wants Hamas, the group that controls Gaza, to free all the people they captured.
