@Wirtzflow @7c_rlead @deepsteeze @CrimeLdn What you're saying is true. Most Nigerian parents are fixated on proving that they're doing well to the people at home and end up neglecting their kids by work every single shift to keep up. A 14-year-old is a kid and should still be supervised, but they let them roam about.

@7c_rlead @deepsteeze @CrimeLdn I understand what you’re saying, my example was extreme. Maybe moving out of the area is better, keeping them stimulated through weekly clubs and activities. I work at a charity so I work with these kids, sometimes it’s just as simple as having a REAL conversation.

Police have named the 14 year old who was shot dead in Woolwich yesterday as Eghosa Ogbebor. Two boys, aged 14 and 16, and an 18-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident. They remain in custody.

From a distance, the world looks blue and green And the snow-capped mountains white From a distance, the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance, there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope It's the voice of peace ...

The class of the 2020s arrivals the UK are funny. You come to a new country, you've not normalised your paper but your buying house and expensive cars thinking you're doing well. You can't do well abroad without a permanent stay sorted.

14 yesr-old, for God's sake!

Dog owners are ruining outdoor life for everyone in this London. You step out, and it's all dog poop and wee everywhere. Everywhere smelly and messy.

@JayKay545 @tz1275 @TDeisine @JaneCaro @therealchilotam Why not take the kids and spend your money with them?

@fauntee @tz1275 @TDeisine @JaneCaro @therealchilotam ..... the mother can spend the money on whatever she wants lol

Many women do not want to ‘stay home’. It’s boring, repetitive and you are an unpaid servant. It also predisposes you to poverty if your husband gets bored & dumps you. Also, women have outperformed men in education for a century. Maybe you guys should stay home.

@JayKay545 @tz1275 @TDeisine @JaneCaro @therealchilotam Did you not call it 'child support'? How does that become her support again?

@tz1275 @TDeisine @JaneCaro @therealchilotam Don't forget about child support

@OBEhizele This goes back to the home. And points to something even more disturbing - they're not just teens. They're mostly of the same demographic. That is where the questions lie. Many other kids are as bored, but they're not looting & causing chaos. Why always this demographic?

I thought it would be helpful to do a proper thread addressing this. The scenes in Clapham aren’t just about crime or policing. They point to something deeper: what I've come to call "urban nihilism". 🧵

@kwessi_shuga @ChalePurpleThis In that case, why must it always be the man to be the head even when he hasn't got any capacity to lead.

@ChalePurpleThis Cos the leader-follower dynamic is almost universal. In any relationship, romantic or otherwise, there should be a steward who consolidates and steers the affairs of the relationship. Even among friends without a clear leader, there is one who assumes the role without the label

Why can’t a man and a woman just marry and live life comfortably Why somebody for be head then somebody for submit

Europe Is Not Home — It Never Was There is a growing chorus of Nigerians in the diaspora speaking about tightening immigration laws across Europe as if it is the end of the world. The tone is apocalyptic. The fear is palpable. The message is simple: stay at all costs. I do not share that fear. For decades, I have carried a simple power in my back pocket — the ability to leave. I remind anyone who needs reminding that I can buy a ticket and go home. Europe has never been my home. I am African. I am simply here. That mindset changes everything. Since arriving in England in 1965, I have never truly been made to feel at home. Not once. There is a constant, subtle reminder — sometimes not so subtle — that you are a guest. Tolerated. Observed. Managed. In Sweden, where I hold citizenship, I do not call myself Swedish. I say I have a Swedish passport. There is a difference, and every African here understands it. Ask them. They will tell you where they are “originally” from, because that question never goes away. Where do you come from originally? It is a question that defines the immigrant experience in Europe. It is not asked out of curiosity. It is asked to establish distance. Recently, at an airport in Madrid, I was singled out — the only Black passenger. A security officer demanded identification. I showed my Swedish passport. Not enough. I showed my EU identity card. Still not enough. He wanted more. What he wanted was submission. Instead, he got resistance. Other passengers intervened. The police arrived. The officer was told to leave. But the incident was not unusual. It was familiar. It was a reminder. You can live in Europe for decades. You can hold citizenship. You can contribute, build, and succeed. But moments like that strip everything back to a simple truth: you are not from here. And that is fine — if you understand it. Europe is a good place to live. It offers structure, healthcare, education, and opportunity. But it is not home. Home is where you belong without explanation. Where your identity is not questioned. Where your presence is not conditional. For Nigerians abroad, this reality should not lead to fear — it should lead to clarity. If you build your life entirely around staying in a place that does not see you as its own, you will always be vulnerable. Immigration laws will change. Politics will shift. The welcome will tighten. Then what? Nigeria, for all its problems, remains the only place where Nigerians are not “originally from somewhere else.” It is the only place where identity is not up for debate. That is why the conversation must change. Not panic about Europe. Focus on Nigeria. Fix the systems. Demand better leadership. Build structures that make returning not just possible, but desirable. Because in the end, no matter how comfortable life abroad becomes, the question of belonging never fully disappears. And a life without belonging is a temporary arrangement. Kio Amachree

@Phatbabeluuu @Ndubuisi_23 That's what I'm saying. It makes no sense to indict a woman for negligence while the man who is the actual perpetrator is let out.

@fauntee @Ndubuisi_23 Well you know the Nigerian justice system is cooked.

Why did her mum go to jail ? Her brother and father did not even get any jail time

@Phatbabeluuu @Ndubuisi_23 So, why wasn't the test reats enough to indict the perpetrators?

@fauntee @Ndubuisi_23 The test results she hid

@Ndubuisi_23 @Phatbabeluuu So if the man was acquitted for lack of evidence, what evidence did they use to indict the woman. What sexual abuse did she not protect her from?

@Phatbabeluuu Summary of the judgment

Please, this is for Baby Nelly She’s a 5-year-old child who was raped in her vagina and anus by her mother's half-brother, Victor Etim, and his 2 sons. The child has been diagnosed with Staphylococcus and other related infections. Victor Etim is currently threatening to kill his sister (the child's mother).

⚡️BREAKING: Amnesty International welcomes the recognition of chattel enslavement of Africans as a crime against humanity at the U.N General Assembly, following a resolution tabled by #Ghana on behalf of the African continent and people of African descent.

📷Happy 44th birthday to the best Coach in the world. My Gaffer ⚡💫

Today at the UN, 123 nations named the Transatlantic slave trade as humanity’s gravest crime. Britain abstained A Labour government! heirs to an empire that trafficked 3 million Africans, could not say yes to truth The abstention IS the verdict. Starmer, history has clocked you
