If this woman was white and Irish, the mainstream media would be all over this story and the glaring holes in her account.

Instead, they are compleltely ignoring it.

That tells you everything you need to know about the Media claiming to "tell you the truth" and "protect you"

[Seán Ako 🇮🇪 @TheAkoFiles]

The Powerpuff Girls seem to think that if they call a question offensive enough times, it magically stops needing an answer.

A politicians job is to answer questions, not decide who is allowed ask them.

@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan Murphy and Boyd Barrett are just your usual middle class south Dublin prats who accuse everyone else of fascism while behaving like fascists themselves.

@caulmick You mean a tax payer funded MEP.

What is wrong with you?

[Kieran Flanagan 🤘 @searchbrat]

In the last general election, People Before Profit got 49,344 votes

- 2.24% of votes cast
- 0.9% of the population voted for them

Paul Murphy got 4,021 first-preference votes. He was elected on the 11th count.

These people are not popular. No one cares about what they have to say except the Irish left-wing media, who treat them as spokespersons for a significant portion of the Irish population, which they aren't.

@griptmedia @SimpSimonSays @Ben_Scallan Pathetic, discriminatory, exclusionary& beyond small-minded by these so-called “leftists”.

My neighbour’s dog has a more principled position than these waste of space student union types.

This raises serious questions about editorial independency.

Ireland's entire mainstream media landscape is being propped up by Govt.

Whether its current affairs or light entertainment, the Irish Govt are involved.

This is not good.

[nwl @nwl88444048]

Amazed that the story of last week's asylum seekers hasn't gained traction.

It was ignored by mainstream media, with the exception of RTE, but RTE didn't even bother to Tweet their story which was buried online on Friday night (@RTENews tweets around 80-90% of hard news stories published on the RTE website, @RTESport etc tweet stories specific to their areas). It wasn't covered in the RTE Nine O'Clock news on Friday night, it wasn't on the agenda for the RTE weekend political shows, Saturday and TWIP and This Week.

Yes, Gript covered it on Saturday, and it did get some traction, but many politicians won't interact with Gript news.

350 "arrivals" highest in two years, €43m cost, the open Border, criminal gangs running amok (estimated trafficking fees of up to €9m at €25,000 each), 300-strong Garda National Immigration Bureau twiddling their thumbs, "arrivals" dominated by single men, biggest group being from Somalia. It's incredible that this is not frontpage news and not high on the political agenda. 🤷‍♂️

[Risteárd Ó hArrachtáin @HarrachtainO]

There is literally no logical reason for an African to be mayor of an Irish town or city, any more than there would be for an Irish person to be mayor of a Nigerian or Somalian town or city. The only way it can happen is if it is being forced upon the people for nefarious reasons

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

The Irish establishment media has written a neat script about "Heroic" Helen Ogbu, the new Black mayor of Galway. The Nigerian born asylum seeker, direct provision survivor, foster carer, now mayor, its a perfect happy ending "immigrant success story". They're all celebrating it, all from exactly the same script.

But here’s what they've convieniently left out.

Back In 2001, at the peak of Ireland’s "anchor baby" scandal  thousands of heavily pregnant Nigerian women were flooding into the country to take advantage of the "Citizenship by birth" rule, In 2003 alone, 4,625 babies were born to "non-national" women in Dublin’s three main maternity hospitals aline, and 1,528 of those were born to Nigerian mothers. Politicians like then minister for justice Michael McDowell and  leader Bertie Ahern publicly condemned it. The issue became so inflammatory the Irish Government held a referendum in 2004 to amend the constitution and end the practice. The result? almost 80% of Ireland's people voted to close the loophole forever.

One of the Nigerian women who timed her trip perfectly was one Helen Ogbu. In 2001 she flew from Nigeria, which is over 5,200 kilometres from Dublin while heavily pregnant. There were no direct flights between the two states and she would have needed a visa,  she then had to  endure at least 11 to 13 hours of flying, with connections through Europe (usually London, Paris or Amsterdam)

This is a very long, expensive, and physically tough journey for anyone, never mind a woman in the late stages of an apparently complicated pregnancy, all supposedly just to "visit friends?"

Helen Ogbu subsequently gave birth to her daughter in Dublin, securing Irish citizenship for her child, and then promptly returned to Nigeria.

Despite this early "interaction" with the Irish state, her own website (and Labour Party material) completely and convieniently ignores this reality, they state -

“In 2006, my family and I moved to Ireland, seeking safety and a fresh start after the tragic loss of my husband.”

Despite this obviously intentional omission regarding her travel to Dublin while in the late stages of pregnancy,  there’s one other glaring problem, her husband, Sunny Orji Ogbu, wasn’t assassinated until October 2010. Four years later in Nigeria.

As the inconsistencies and selective narrative parroted by the idolising Irish media unravels, there are more questions which nobody in the Irish Times or RTE seems to want to ask.

Her husband was a successful businessman and politician in Nigeria, he had property holdings, several business and came from a large well know elite Nigerian family, Where did all his money go? In Nigeria it is exceptionally unusual that a wife would not inherit the deceased husbands estate, but Helen Ogbu says she arrived in Ireland "with nothing" and survived on "Direct Provision" from the Irish state?

Three big questions. Zero answers from the Irish client media. Just lectures about racism for anyone questioning the rise of a Nigerian immigrant to become the darling of pro migration elites?

Race shouldn't be a shield from enquiry and accountability.

@IrishTimes When will this tedious nag of a “writer” be put out to pasture?

The IT has degenerated into a crap slopaganda rag, utterly bankrupt morally, ethically & culturally.

[Employment Law Ireland @EmployRightsIE]

Government need to release social housing allocation stats for the last 10 years. Every council, AHB and provider, the immigration status of every person who got a home, and how long they waited. It is unacceptable that Govt dont produce this basic data.

[Seán Ako 🇮🇪 @TheAkoFiles]

Having spent the last few days in Brussels, I’ve realised just how saveable Ireland is.

Everyone should visit and see how bad things can get when decline becomes normal and bad decisions are left unchecked.

I came home more motivated than ever to protect our beautiful island.

@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan Scumbag she is.

Latest podcast episode: the EU's elaborate transparency theatre

"If you take a look at the NGO landscape in the EU, you may notice that there is an inordinate number of non-profits dedicated explicitly to promoting various flavours of sexual identity labels. Why? Perhaps it’s because the people who run the NGOs and the people who sign off on their grants are buddies. They don’t even hide it. The LGBTIQ+ staff committee inside the Brussels bureaucracy proudly advertises its membership of ILGA-Europe, the very same organisation that lobbies the very same staff."
