Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

We’ve updated the OCR we use at @mundx_analytics to do more than extract votes during the election.
It can now identify the Presiding Officer's name and determine whether a polling-unit result was signed and stamped.
This means we can potentially publish the names of Presiding Officers attached to polling-unit results that show over-voting, mutilation, or failure to sign/stamp the result sheet.
The idea is simple - accountability. Election officials should know that what happens at a polling unit can become part of a permanent, searchable public record.
But there is an important concern our team is thinking through.
A PO may also be a victim of the system. They could have been coerced, threatened, or forced to act against their will. One time, a returning officer for a senatorial election in Imo State claimed he was forced under gunpoint to declare a candidate winner.
From the result sheet alone, there is no reliable way for us to know whether an irregularity was deliberate.
So how do we create meaningful public accountability without unfairly accusing people who may themselves have been victims?
We don't want to go to prison for defamation lol.
Happy to hear suggestions and perspectives.

Perhaps Nigeria is a very terrible country in ways we fail to understand. You cannot celebrate to leave your home country in this manner.

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth.
On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world.
Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history.
The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer.
We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you.
Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.

I had a fruitful interaction with Imo State ADC Stakeholders based in the UK. We discussed strategies to strengthen the party's presence across Imo State, and I'm thrilled with the outcome.

Let me add this: there is no other historical iron smelting site that is as old AND as large scale as this site. Anywhere in the world.
There a few sites that are potentially older but at very small scale. And very few that are larger but much much later in time.
Lejja is not only one of the oldest smelting sites of this scale anywhere in the world, its history of iron smithing predates several older world civilizations.
Igbo people are ancient, and technically competent.
Secondly, Africans by extension are just as capable technically as other races. The reason we got to iron earlier than other civilizations is that tin was scarce in our area which made bronze difficult. So as a region we did brass and then iron. That tells you that our environment drove our technical innovation.
If we had not encountered a more advanced civilization when we did, we would've still built our own technology.
Lejja, Nsukka, in present-day Enugu State, is the location of a prehistoric archaeological site that contains iron-smelting furnaces and slag dating back to 2000 BC. The village square at Otobo Ugwu, believed to be the earliest village square in Lejja—contains over 800 blocks of slag, with an average weight between 34 and 57 kg.
With this discovery, one can rightly say that the Igbo people were among the early contributors to world civilisation.
Iron smelting is the process of applying heat and a chemical reducing agent to an ore in order to extract a base metal. It is a form of extractive metallurgy used to obtain metals such as iron, copper, silver, tin, lead, and zinc. Smelting works by using heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gases or slag and leaving the metal behind.

It is clear that the government in power has no political will to curb the incessant killings and terrorist attacks plaguing our country today. The government has failed to provide adequate protection for its citizens, as evidenced by the surge in terrorist attacks and mass kidnappings in some parts of the country – challenging our national security. This failure to act decisively has sadly emboldened terrorists and eroded public trust.
The incessant attacks on innocent citizens in Plateau; the reported attack and kidnapping of secondary schoolgirls in Kebbi; an ambush on soldiers in Borno resulting in the abduction and killing of a Brigadier General, M. Uba; the attack on a church in Kwara; and the kidnapping of a priest, Rev. Fr. Bobbo Paschal, in Kaduna – all within a week – are too much to be ignored.
The Federal Government needs to step up its game, sharpen its response to terrorist activities, strengthen military intelligence and tactical operations, and live up to the expectations of its people.
To Mr. President: your primary assignment is the security of lives and property. Enough of looking the other way or issuing watery statements of condemnation. Prioritizing a summit or jetting out for whatever reason when Nigerians are dying can never be the trait of a good leader. It is time to probe wrong decisions, strategize, and make tough calls. The current situation calls for decisive leadership, stronger intelligence coordination, and accountability.
We did it in Rivers State; it can be done in the country. We are prepared to help if you request help.

APC Bingos are crying that Nigerians don’t pay tax like UK, Canada & US but want their services. 😂
Meanwhile, this is FIRS Chairman Zacheus Adedeji’s convoy. In The UK, Canada, US, if the tax boss rolled up like this, he’d be forced to resign before dinner.
Tinubu’s new tax madness isn’t for hospitals, schools or roads, it’s for Zacheus & co. to ball harder while Nigerians suffer!
