If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

I’m 61, and not yet in active retirement.
3 years from now, my last child will depart for college.

At that juncture, the inimitable Iyom Electrik (aka “Fine Girl”, “Odogwu nwanyi”), and I will have a choice to make; and it will be a binary choice.

1) Return to our Estate in Anam and build the largest fish farm in Igboland. Farming and writing philosophical treatises.
But this choice carries a contingency; a dramatic improvement in security. If this fails to materialize, we will deed the Estate over to the Catholic Church to repurpose as a high school.

2) Buy a Villa or Finca in Andalusia or Porto, somewhere along the Duoro River. Immersing ourselves in the culture and farming and writing philosophical treatises.

One seeks a life of humble obscurity. Nature, music, poetry, lyricism and knowledge in contradistinction to monumentality, and power. For indeed, “Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas," ("Happy is the one who has been able to understand the causes of things").

Many friends and colleagues, amongst them plausibly the nation’s best and brightest, called it quits years ago. Seeking freedom from the oppression of a sunken place. Camus was right. A life so close to the wall is a dog’s life.

Their surrogates are the politicians and the purblind “elite” or moneyed peasants; encrustations of barnacle and weed upon the underbelly of the Leviathan, the Nigerian State. The lower forms of life, long seized control of a benighted people. A genus that turns the suffering of the average Nigerian into spectacle.

The people themselves chained in a dark, underground Plato’s cave and looking straight ahead at a blank stone wall and nourished on an infernal diet of tribalism and religion, are caught between passivity and complicity. They are no bargain. Their suffering is not redemptive.

And the intellectuals? The enablers. “Everywhere belle face”.

Time they say, is a precious thing. And I have always liked the dictum: “Time is a fugitive”*

So you see dear Nigerians, I am a candidate in this election. Vote wisely.

Dear football,

Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.

Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.

When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

[AgricQueen @ChimdiIbeawuchi]

One of my greatest mistake in Life as a Farmer is being a FARMER.
I shouldn’t have invested in a sector that is dependent on Government policies and bottlenecks.
In my line of business,there’s no escaping Government inefficiencies.
Nigerian Government will do everything in agriculture except solving problems.

For more than 20 years farmers have been saying that we suffer seasonal Glut because we simply cannot individually afford Machinery for Egg Pasteurization.
Government will listen to our complaints, lie that they are coming up with a NEGPRO scheme and go ahead to simply do the opposite of what was agreed.

With high Electricity and Gas prices, investors are guaranteed not make their money back as Egg powder produced in Nigeria will fail to compete with Global market.
Companies will rather import than buy made in Nigeria raw materials.

State Governors are worse, they simply have no clue of what to do outside of using fertilizer as a political tool.
They have refused to build or sustain any critical infrastructure (Dams, Health and safety of animals, meaningful collaborations or Training)
The CBN under Emefiele refused to allow the Bank of Agriculture to do its job.

With the growing insecurity and policy missteps farmers in Nigeria have little to no incentive to continue to run or grow their businesses.

Don’t go into Agriculture, it’s simply not worth it.

[Vodka & Seledka 🇬🇧 @seledka_vodka]

Standing in the queue outside a South London grammar school, waiting for my children to finish their 11-plus exam, I noticed something that would surprise anyone who thinks selective education is a middle-class white preserve. I was in the minority. The families around me were overwhelmingly East Asian, South Asian, African. This pattern repeated at nearly every grammar school entrance in London where I found myself over the years of preparing my children for these exams.

The queues are enormous. And they tell a story that contradicts the received wisdom that stopped Britain building new grammar schools decades ago.

The argument went like this: grammar schools were becoming a way for well-to-do white families to secure elite education for free, since only they could afford the tutoring that gives children an edge. But look at who is actually competing for these places. Most applicant families earn less than their white equivalents. What they possess instead is something harder to measure and impossible to purchase - a cultural orientation toward education as the primary vehicle for a child's future.

I watched an East Asian mother in that café, her older child inside taking the exam, her four-year-old beside her watching what I assumed was Peppa Pig. It was maths exercises in Mandarin. Some families begin preparation at age six. This is real, and it is widespread.

The willingness to sacrifice runs deep.

Immigrant families take fewer holidays, and cheaper ones when they do. Parents deny themselves things that British culture has come to treat as baseline entitlements - the weekend away, the new car, the kitchen renovation - to pay for tutoring.

They have children earlier, in less comfortable circumstances, in rental properties in rougher areas, because children are understood as the point of everything else rather than something to be fitted around an established lifestyle.

I saw this firsthand working alongside Asian colleagues at major firms in London. Even among those who had reached professional success, the cultural inheritance was identical: children are the future, marriage is an accomplishment, sacrifice for the next generation is simply what adults do.

This is uncomfortable for white British parents to hear, myself included. But honesty requires acknowledging that when it comes to parental investment in children's prospects, immigrant communities are often willing to go further.

Yet the real scandal is not cultural. It is political.

The competition for grammar school places has become so brutal not because demand is unusual but because supply was deliberately strangled. We stopped building grammar schools entirely, driven by ideological commitments that sound generous in seminar rooms but have produced catastrophic results in practice.

The theory was that comprehensive education would lift all boats. The reality is that state schools have not improved enough to compensate for eliminating the selective alternative, and now children who would thrive in an academically focused environment are forced through years of intensive preparation simply because there are not enough places to go around.

Grammar schools work. When you gather children from families that value education - children who are curious, driven, competitive - and free them from the drag of disruption and the influence of peers whose families couldn't care less, something powerful happens. Teachers can teach. Students can learn. The result is not privilege being hoarded but potential being released.

The artificial scarcity we have created serves no one. It forces six-year-olds into tutoring regimes. It turns the 11-plus into a high-stakes lottery that rewards test preparation over genuine ability. It tells capable children from families without the resources or knowledge to navigate the system that this path is not for them.

Whether you buy in Nigeria, the UK, or nowhere isn’t the point. The real issue is how much confusion there is about mortgages and leverage. People talk like debt is automatically a trap, meanwhile the entire business world runs on it. Dangote didn’t build an empire with cash. Richard Branson didn’t expand Virgin by waiting to save up. Leverage is how you turn today’s limited resources into tomorrow’s bigger opportunities. Ordinary people use mortgages the same way, spreading cost, preserving cash, letting inflation work in their favour. The problem isn’t mortgages; it’s misunderstanding the tool.
