Onye kwe, Chi ya ekwe

[Chxta @Chxta]

It would appear that thr wisdom of our ancestors is out of date.

@chineduozordi has just informed me that the modern version of this proverb is "Onye nwe ego nwe madu."

I stand corrected.

[Chxta @Chxta]

Onye nwe madu ka onye nwe ego.

Lie down and spread 'em.

From zero-hour visa scams to prostate checks, the system is rigged - but we aren't taking it lying down.

@Chxta and I discuss this on the new episode of @blackpaperpod.

West Africans need to stop forcing our history into Abrahamic or Middle Eastern narratives. It’s historically inaccurate, and honestly, it reflects a deep cultural insecurity.

You Ijebu people are not Jews. Queen Sheba did not visit Ijebuland. Hausas are not Arabs from Baghdad. Igbos are not Israelites. We need to stop romanticizing foreign origins as if our civilizations only become meaningful when linked to the Middle East.

West Africa already has a rich, ancient, and sophisticated history of its own, you have the Nok, Ile-Ife, Benin, Oyo, Gao, Mali, Kanem-Bornu, Igbo-Ukwu, and countless others. Many of our ancestors had lived and developed cultures in these lands for tens of thousands of years before Judaism, Christianity, or Islam even emerged.

There is nothing inferior about being indigenous to Africa. We do not need borrowed identities to validate our existence, intelligence, spirituality, or achievements.

Our history stands on its own. Stop it!

David Weaver is tired…but not tapping out.

On the latest episode of @blackpaperpod @Chxta and I speak to the Chair of @OpBlackVote about the journey so far, and what comes next.

A pot of jollof now costs ₦30k. Subsidy removal was the right call, but letting tomatoes rot at the farm gate?

That’s the real recipe for disaster.

Protection or loophole?

@nd_onuoha and I examine the UK’s Domestic Violence Concession, its importance, risks, and what misuse means for genuine victims.

We’ve been talking. Have you been listening?

To mark 1 year of @blackpaperpod, we’re testing just how much you’ve been paying attention.

10 Odeon vouchers up for grabs!

@aadetugbo @bigbrovar @evclinic Fair enough. My experience has been decent though, I don't have any complaints, except that the car jerks when it's switching from battery to petrol mode.

[Chxta @Chxta]

@bigbrovar Why do you say avoid PHEVs? I have a PHEV and I love it. It takes care of any range anxiety. cc @aadetugbo

[Chxta @Chxta]

Just not good enough.

[unHoly Roman Emperor @MacHarryCI]

On the contrary, the data does not support your assertion. Based on this 2025 report by @sbmintelligence, Edo actually ranks 3rd behind Rivers and Lagos.
However, your claim may hold up if you combine reported incidents from Edo, Delta & Ogun which make up 54% of all cases.

[The Black Paper @blackpaperpod]

We have now written to Nigerian-heritage Members of @UKParliament about the racist death threat to Nigerians by Reform's Cllr Gibbins. We are asking them to speak up for the Community and ask the PM to do so.

[Chxta @Chxta]

It's in the details. See how they got Larry the Cat...

"Melt the Nigerians down, and use the material to fill potholes."

This was the racist threat at Nigerians from a Reform UK councillor, and no Nigerian MP, nor the PM, nor even the Nigerian Embassy have said a word about this death threat.

@nd_onuoha and I discuss this...

This is why people are so pissed off with Trump, Starmer et al. This is the middle of May, and we're still waking up to 1°.

So heaters are still on, which means that gas is still being used, which means that the nonsense in #Iran is hitting people directly in their pockets.

@NewsomCA @raziakkhan @afalli I co-host a podcast with @nd_onuoha, and my position for months now is that Reform has peaked. Farage won't be PM unless Labour imploded before year end.

[The Black Paper @blackpaperpod]

Good luck to all the candidates who think our communities matter.

[Chxta @Chxta]

Ahead of Thursday's elections, @blackpaperpod surveyed 123 African heritage voters across #Britain.

In this episode, we walk through the data: the scale of @UKLabour 's collapse, @TheGreenParty's surge, and what it will take for any party to earn the African vote.
