Indians in the UK, by the numbers that rarely make headlines. 🇮🇳🇬🇧
2 million+ people.
2.9% of the population.
The single largest visible ethnic minority in Britain.
74% homeownership — the highest of any group, including White British (68%).
76% employment rate — the highest of any ethnic group.
Lowest crime rate of any community in England and Wales.
2nd highest GCSE attainment of any ethnic group — behind only Chinese pupils.
1 in 6 NHS professionals.
25% of all UK medicines, imported from India.
1,912 Indian-owned companies, £105.77 billion combined turnover, employing 200,000+ British workers.
£47.4 billion in bilateral trade, now growing under CETA.
One Prime Minister.
One Foreign Office minister raised in Bihar.
29 MPs.
None of this happened by accident.
It happened because a community that arrived with almost nothing decided,
quietly, that “enough” was never actually enough. 🙏

It’s often men who grew up in poverty and later acquired wealth that behave this way; money becomes a tool for them to oppress those who share the background they once had. By contrast, someone raised in wealth typically uses their resources to generate even more wealth, not to unnecessarily target others.
Let me explain to you what just happened in this Bae U interview with the legend Pete Edochie
It's actually funny, Dark humor, Roasts etc.
Yes, it’s funny.
But I think Bae U is smarter than people are giving him credit for.
This was not just another viral interview.
This was a smart way for the legend Pete Edochie to cement himself in the sands of time.
A lot of young people don’t really know him.
They know the face.
They know the voice.
They know the proverbs.
So they say, “Isn’t he just a Nollywood legend?”
That’s the problem.
They know the title. They don’t know the work.
This interview forced the record out.
That’s not “just an actor.”
That’s history.
While everyone is busy clipping the jokes, the old man was quietly putting his achievements on the table.
Why he is revered.
Why he is carried the way he is.
Why that respect is not internet hype.
The legend is leaving one day. We hope not anytime soon.
But this show now shows who he really is, not just the man that drops proverbs here and there.
Bae U used humor to bring a giant to a young audience.
Pete Edochie used the same table to remind everyone that the respect was earned.
Now you know.
Respect the legend.
Pete Edochie.
Why do you all keep making this mistake of hero worship over and over again? It just proves you don't study the Word for yourselves.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Cor 3:5-6.
@abikedabiri@ehibraimah@ruffydfire@OlayinkaLere You’ve lost the moral standing to advise anyone. The era of your scripted NTA narrative, the one that once made you look like a star is finished.
You can’t blind us with that old playbook anymore.
“If we reduce the purchasing power of the people, we can further slow down the economy, then widen the tax net.” — Tinubu
A statement like this should not be forgotten. 😡
You cannot deliberately make life harder for millions, crush their purchasing power, weaken the economy, and then come back asking those same people for another mandate.
Jan 16, 2027 must send a clear and unmistakable message: the people have the final say. A leader who has failed the people should not even dare to ask them for another vote.
@UNOFFICIALFACT If you've never lived or worked with them you will not understand the concept of "racism" , that shit will mentally break the strongest of men. The irony of all this is the way we treat them, exactly the opposite of how we are treated.
The world map you've known all your life is wrong! Nearly every country at the UN voted to adopt a new map that shows a more accurate size of Africa after ~500 years of "symbolic minimization."
Only the US voted against it.
I explained why this is important on CNN
@tosin_olarewaju@jon_d_doe There definitely are mumu men outside, but their mumu didn't reach meeting up to the standard that has been raised for her when she is not made of gold or diamond.
STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
CLARIFICATION ON THE ONGOING FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT CASE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Presidency has noted recent speculative reports concerning an ongoing Freedom of Information Act case before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
For clarity, the matter is a civil records-disclosure dispute under the United States Freedom of Information Act. It is not a criminal case against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, nor has the court found him guilty of any criminal wrongdoing.
Here is the background to the case, which comes 23 years after the American Consulate in Lagos, in a letter dated February 4, 2003, informed the then Inspector General of Police, Mr Tafa Balogun, that an FBI records check found no criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for then Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In 2022, Mr Aaron Greenspan, who is known to work with Nigerian opposition figures including David Hundeyin and Atiku Abubakar, submitted FOIA requests to several United States government agencies seeking records relating to President Tinubu. After the agencies withheld certain records or declined to confirm or deny their existence, Mr Greenspan commenced Civil Action No. 23-1816 before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2023.
The court subsequently permitted President Tinubu to participate in the proceedings as an intervenor.
During the proceedings, the Defendants asserted the "Glomar defence, a standard defence that US law enforcement agencies invoke from time to time. It simply means the government agency is not "in a position to deny or admit" the existence of an investigation. It protects government personnel and the techniques and sources law enforcement agencies use to investigate and prosecute crimes.
Based on the invocation of this defence, the United States District Court granted summary judgment in favour of the CIA, EOUSA, Department of State, Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It ruled that they be removed from the proceedings, leaving aspects of the claims involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration for further consideration.
In compliance with the court’s orders, the FBI and DEA produced 399 pages of records, with portions redacted under exemptions provided by United States law. The Plaintiff challenged the FBI and DEA's decisions to redact portions of the documents produced.
The FBI and DEA, through the United States Department of Justice (USDoJ), pushed back against the Plaintiff's requests. The FBI and DEA rejected the application to produce the documents without redactions for the following reasons:
1. Some of the documents are protected from being revealed to the public by law, for example, Grand Jury proceedings. The law exempts transcripts of Grand Jury proceedings from public disclosure. The Pen Register Act also protects from disclosure information about certain court order(s) authorising or approving the installation and use of a pen register or trap and trace device. (FOIA Exemption 3)
2. Some of the documents fall squarely within the attorney-work product and attorney-client privileges. Some documents contain instances where FBI and DEA agents sought and/or received legal advice from USDoJ attorneys. (FOIA Exemption 5)
3. Some of the documents were prepared for law enforcement purposes. (FOIA Exemption 5)
4. Some of the documents contain information which, if revealed, could lead to an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. (FOIA Exemptions 6 and 7(C)).
5. Some of the documents, if disclosed, will reveal the identities of confidential sources or compromise the techniques that law enforcement agencies use in investigating crimes. (FOIA Exemptions 7(D) and 7(E))
President Bola Tinubu, on advice of his lawyers, has also asserted his rights as guaranteed by FOIA Exemption 7(C).
The Plaintiff has until September 11, 2026, to file any opposition and reply to the Defendants' and Intervener's processes, while the FBI, DEA and the Intervenor have until September 18, 2026, to respond to the processes that the Plaintiff might have filed.
The release or withholding of records under FOIA does not, by itself, establish criminal liability. The case concerns access to government records and the proper application of statutory exemptions.
The Nigerian media should note that this case is exclusively within the control of Judge Beryl A. Howell of the United States District Court. She will determine its outcome, based on the evidence, applicable law, and the parties' arguments, not the wishful preference of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar or his agent, Mr Von Batten.
Recent public commentary by Mr Karl von Batten has inaccurately portrayed him and his client as central to the proceedings. Neither is a party to the case.
The litigation is a civil records-disclosure dispute under FOIA. It does not constitute a criminal charge, trial, or judicial finding against President Tinubu. The FBI and DEA have produced records with redactions, and the remaining question is whether those redactions are lawful.
The United States District Court will decide that issue based on the filings and applicable US law, not political commentary.
The Presidency therefore urges the media and the public to distinguish verified court proceedings from partisan speculation.

Today, our proposed amicus curiae filing was formally received by the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys et al. We ask the Court for permission to present an additional perspective on Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s (@officialABAT) asserted privacy interests and the Nigerian Presidency’s extraordinary decision to issue an official Statehouse Statement publicly discussing the very FBI and DEA records President #Tinubu is asking a U.S. federal court to protect.
Our position is simple: you cannot have it both ways. You cannot invoke privacy before a United States federal court while using the power of the Nigerian Presidency to publicly characterize those same investigative records and tell the world what they supposedly contain. We are asking the Court to consider the Presidency’s own public actions when weighing President #Tinubu’s asserted privacy interests against the public’s legitimate interest in understanding what the @FBI, @DEAHQ, and @TheJusticeDept did in connection with these drug-trafficking investigative records.
We fully expect President Bola #Tinubu and the other parties to challenge this filing for one reason or another. That is entirely expected. Our primary objective is to ensure that the Court is made aware of the Nigerian Presidency’s public statement and our argument that it potentially weakens President Tinubu’s asserted claim of privacy. If the Court permits our amicus brief to be formally docketed and considered, we will welcome that decision. Regardless of the outcome of our motion, we have placed this significant development before the Court so that it can be considered, if the Court deems appropriate, when ruling on the issues before it.
