Migration is about people, their rights, and how we manage movement fairly across 🌍!

The @_AfricanUnion’s Migration Policy Framework for Africa (2018–2030) guides countries and civil society groups on how to work together on migration issues by supporting migrants, collecting data, and improving migration policies.

📢 The Africa Visa Openness Index (AVOI) 2024 is here!

And the numbers tell a hard truth: Africans still face barriers on African soil.

In the @_AfricanUnion Year of Reparations, let’s ask: Why are we still divided by visas?

TheAVOI shows who’s open, who’s not, and where we must act.

✊🏾 #Reparations = restoring the #freedom to move, #trade, connect, and thrive across borders.

It's time to open up #Africa to Africans. Let’s make mobility, opportunity, and unity real for every citizen of this continent.

[African Union ECOSOCC @AU_ECOSOCC]

The @_AfricanUnion Year of Reparations is about economic liberation and ending Africa’s systemic wealth drain. Colonial debts, unfair trade policies, and foreign-controlled resources have kept Africa in a cycle of exploitation.

The #YearOfReparations aims to:
💰 Address colonial-era debts
🌍 Retain #Africa’s wealth for its people
⚖️ Reform global #trade policies

Reparations = economic #justice.

All single-use PET bottles and aluminium cans used for beverages in #Austria are now subject to a deposit of 25 cents from January 2025.

That is, you get charged 25 cents at the point of sales, and you get reimbursed when you return the containers.

[Africans in Austria 🇦🇹 @AfricansInAT]

The prerequisite for reimbursement of the deposit is that the container is empty, not crushed, and that the label is fully present on the container and legible. This is the only way to identify whether the container is a bottle or can that is managed in the deposit cycle.

I highlighted the criminalization of humanitarian efforts, including challenges faced by orgs like Sea-Watch & KISA in Cyprus, and addressed harmful impacts of restrictive border policies & anti-migrant narratives fueled by populist politics and negative media coverage.

#Nigeria, as a country and people, has too much to offer, and it would be a shame if we let it all waste in our lifetime.

For the sake of #SustainableDevelopment , I do hope that the #policies wouldn't just be a document but implemented and actionably reviewed periodically.

[Lion King | Chief Atabo @ChiefAtabo]

Thank you to the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy @fmactce_nigeria and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group @officialnesg for the opportunity to serve Nigeria through input in the 2024 Nigeria Tourism Policy.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Temporarily coming out of my self-imposed Nigerian Public Affairs Twitter exile to say that many if not most legal professionals in Nigeria are some of the country's weakest links and are among its dumbest people.

Why am I saying this?

Think of the law as a basketball rim. FIBA regulations state that the rim must be exactly 3 metres high with a diameter of exactly 45cm. These are the dimensions required to maintain the competitive sanctity of the game. If the rim were any wider, people could just spam 3-pointers from all over the court and the game would lose meaning. If it were any higher, only South Sudanese would be able to play the game. If it were any lower, it would be too easy to block or dunk, also making the game lose meaning.

In Nigeria, instead of keeping the rim at regulation dimensions, the rim is rather mounted on a moving backboard that can be 2 metres or 5 metres high, depending on what side of the bed the referee woke up on. The match commissioner also has the ability to expand the rim diameter to 70cm, depending on which team he wants to win. Effectively, there is no sanctity of the law in Nigeria because there is in fact, no law.

Laws in Nigeria are deliberately written in an infuriatingly ambiguous, awkwardly-worded way, so that they can be interpreted as generously or as fastidiously as the authorities deem fit. Nothing is unambiguously legal or illegal in Nigeria. There is NOTHING that anyone can do in Nigeria that is 100% guaranteed to result in a specific legal outcome 100% of the time. No standards are fixed, no enforcement is uniform. Everything is subjective and movable.

In this situation, you would expect that lawyers of all people, would understand how the lack of clearly definable law in Nigeria makes them existentially threatened, but you see our brothers who wear coloured wigs and gowns? They think that being able to score a 3 pointer when the rim height is reduced to 2 metres and rim diameter is increased to 70cm makes them "smart." They think that being able to successfully argue that 2+2 is 4 today, then argue that 2+2 is 22 tomorrow makes them "legal luminaries."

Instead of understanding the existence of a clearly defined set of legal standards as the only thing that makes their profession viable in the long run, they are busy colluding with the police and judiciary to lower the backboard or raise it to 5 metres, depending on what Jankara Market judgment they are hoping to procure.

That's why it's only in Nigeria that you'll see a Senior Advocate of Nigeria go to court and argue that someone's expired passport means that they no longer have citizenship of the country that issued the passport. Now they're doing it again with Dele Farotimi's abduction. One of them has started posting threads about why writing a book that a specific individual feels defamed by can be treated as a criminal matter, not the civil matter that even my dead grandma can see that it is.

Absolute weak links.
