For those saying this deal is about returning ‘Nigerians’ to Nigeria. Pay attention to the how it’s being reported in the Uk. “Failed asylum seekers and foreign criminals.” Left to the Nigerian government the news would not have been made public. The news emanated from the UK because the UK government sought to score political points by announcing it to the British public. The UK labour party is trying to save its a**. Recall this was what got the Tories kicked out when Rishi Sunak failed to achieve it with Rwanda. Piers Morgan actually had a bet on this with the ex Prime Minister. You people have short memory, I don’t.

finally took the plunge and joined the green party !

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs: About 45 million Africans live outside of Africa. Out of 1.4 billion people, that is roughly 3 percent of our population. Around 85 to 90 million Asians live outside of Asia. Asia’s total population is about 4.7 billion. That means roughly 2 percent of Asians live outside their continent. About 9 million citizens of the United States live outside their country out of 335 million people. That is roughly 5 percent of Americans. And around 70 million Europeans born in Europe live outside of Europe out of 450 million. That is about 15 percent of their population. So in raw numbers and in percentage, Americans and Europeans are the biggest migrant populations on this planet. Yet somehow they keep pushing the story as if migration is a problem exported by the global south.

How influential is Fela in music today?

“Zohran won’t be able to get anything done” It’s been two weeks:

Londoners think it’s a safe place to live, the rest of the UK think otherwise. This aligns with other data where places with low immigration are much more likely to think it’s a problem, showing the effectiveness of media narratives with people who lack experience with the issue.

Doesn’t deserve to be ridiculed at all. He has made a statement at this tournament. People who never knew Lumumba now do because of him. A important lesson part of the fan experience here!

He is the backbone of atleast 4 different genres

Apparently @elonmusk doesn't like it when you point this out, so please keep it between us 🙏

So a bomb explodes inside a mosque in Maiduguri, the victims are Muslims, yet Nigerian media deliberately frames it as Bomb blast rocks Maiduguri on Christmas Eve. If you people report the actual news, will you die? This selective wording is not journalism, it’s madness and unprofessional. How are we supposed to be fighting terrorism when we’re also forced to fight stupid, bigoted Nigerian media that thrives on twisting facts to inflame religious tension? Terror has no religion, but manufacturing a Christian genocide narrative is sickening, irresponsible, and dangerous.Say the truth and be professional for once in your miserable lives.

Nobody fought Dangote when he was doing sugar. Nobody panicked over cement. But the moment he touched oil, all hell broke loose. Because sugar doesn’t threaten empires. Cement doesn’t break colonial supply chains. Refining oil does. Refining our own oil breaks the hidden colonial agreement. Nigeria was designed to export crude and import refined products forever. That’s the real “agreement” nobody talks about. That’s why refineries never worked. That’s why obstacles multiplied overnight. That’s why Dangote suddenly became a problem. Oil gives Nigeria 80% of government revenue. The same system that looted us for decades still wants its money back. This is bigger than one man. Dangote isn’t just refining fuel. He’s challenging a global order. If Dangote succeeds, industries will rise and Nigeria changes forever. And that’s exactly what some unseen hands are working tirelessly to destroy.

Agree. Dangote is fighting because they want to destroy his investment. He has fought many battles on this refining business. 1. Obasanjo sold the Port Harcourt refinery to him. NNPC staff protested. 2. YarAdua took back the refinery from him 3. Dangote spent $20 billion of his own money to build a brand new refinery. 4. Then, this same NMDSRA issued a statement that Dangote's refined products were sub-standard. This was later proven to be false. 5. Then NNPC refused to supply him crude oil. He turned to the USA to source his crude oil and continues to import from them till this day. 6. Then PBAT ordered NNPC to start supplying him crude oil and to accept naira payment. NNPC was unhappy. 7. Suddenly, NUPENG and PENGASSEN ganged up, claiming Dangote is a monopolist, because he is refusing them the old practice of toll collection of N5m per truck while loading products. 8. Dangote called their bluff and decided to buy his own CNG tankers, 2000 of them. 9. NUPENG and PENGASSEN then declared a strike action demanding that Dangote staff must be allowed to join their union. 10. Smelling a rat, Dangote asked all staff to indicate if they wanted to join PENGASSEN. 800 staff signed. Dangote sacked them all, claiming 22 incidents of sabotage detected in the refinery, including unexplained fire incidents. 11. NUPENG and PENGASSEN again went on strike. 12. NASS intervened and begged Dangote to rehire the 800 staff. Dangote took the staff back, but sent them to cement factories, far away from his $20 billion refinery. 13. Today, Dangote's refinery is working producing PMS, diesel, aviation fluid, fertilizers etc. He is exporting to USA, Asia and other African countries, earning FOREX. 14. Yet, Ahmed Farouk insists on spending our inadequate FOREX earnings to import PMS in order to keep refineries in Europe in business. Now we know why this is so. Obviously, he is receiving kick backs. He will rather do that than support a local investment. If this is not economic sabotage, what is it? 15. Clearly, Dangote and Bua who are locked in a healthy competition are contributing to our economic renaissance. Saboteurs like Ahmed Farouk must be stopped. They are spending our FOREX while Dangote is generating FOREX for the country. 16. May God deliver this country from cankerworms.🤔 ~ Bello Isiaka

This is a primary health care center in Kebbi state. The same kebbi will be spending 10 billion naira for Hajj loan. Thanks.

The article ultimately calls for regionally coordinated regulation of vigilantes that harnesses local legitimacy, curbs abuses, and enforces accountability to strengthen overall regional security and stability. Please see the open-access article here: doi.org/10.1080/193922…

This article does not minimise vigilante security contributions; rather it highlights the fluidity of conflict in the Lake Chad region, a dynamic environment where deeply antagonistic relationships between vigilantes and insurgents coexist with instances of tactical collusion.

Pleased to share my new African Security article: Parallels between vigilantes and Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin. Here I argue both are home-grown products of state weakness, sharing social worlds which explains vigilante's effectiveness and associated risks.

There you go. For those who still haven't understood.
