@ShaykhSulaiman This is now a joke . I think Trump is loosing it and wants to light up his countenance

@Kingprince006 No hope. The man should go and rest

[Emmanuel @Nastearr]

@Rejoice_inlife Please sir 🙏 stop merging Obi, and atiku together. Let each one carry their own cross

[Emmanuel @Nastearr]

@Rejoice_inlife True. But even without ariku on the ballot, we will beat tinubu in every state in the north. Make no mistakes about that

[Emmanuel @Nastearr]

@CaptainCreed1 @novieverest Exactly my point

[Emmanuel @Nastearr]

@_nonconformist1 Very beautiful news

BREAKING: Atiku Abubakar is allegedly set to join NDC coalition to support Peter Obi after INEC allegedly declined to recognize the David Mark faction and instead uploaded the Bala Gombe faction's presidential candidate.

[Emmanuel @Nastearr]

A dead woman was found in the house of a Minister in Nigeria. David Umahi who Tinubu appointed and he is yet to be arrested.

Think of a dead body found in the house of a poor man in this country. What would happen?

I just learned that under Ghana’s Free Senior High School policy, the government pays the WASSCE registration fees for every student in public schools.

Then I looked at Nigeria, where WAEC and NECO fees have just increased.

I’m struggling to understand the logic.

Nigeria has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world.

Thousands of children drop out every year because their families simply cannot keep up with the cost of education.

Education is under attack in Nigeria and we have to fight back.

Two ladies went to visit Mr David Umahi for God knows what. Many says it’s for mekwa.

One of the ladies died naked and Umahi didn’t tell the police immediately, instead an ambulance was brought in to carry the dead body out.

He kept it secret.

It took Sahara Reporters to blow the horny cover open and when Umahi responded, he said they are medical physiotherapists deployed to SERVICE HIM SPECIFICALLY. What kind of service that’s special to him when he has no medical needs that demands physio?

The Umahi Teaching Hospital that he claimed deployed them to him has no business doing such. Umahi has lots of questions to answer.

If a girl dies in the house of a poor man, he will be in police custody by now. Umahi should be in one. That’s the only debate he should be having right now and not with Peter Obi.

Who killed the girl?
Who sucked her breasts when it was opened?
Who stripped her naked?
Do doctors now carry out physio work naked?

Umahi is a culprit

The second that went for the adventurous journey must not be killed and not also be bribed, as she’s the only eye witness alive. We know that what dollars cannot do in this kind of case does not exist.

When Tracy accused him of being a horny goat, he denied it even though no Nigerian believed him. Two months after, one proof seems to be coming out. This cannot be swept under the carpet.

Umahi must not go scot free in this.

Lindsey Graham went to Ukraine in the last two days during their attack. A drone factory he visited was struck and totally destroyed. I think he didn’t make it out of Ukraine.

The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development

On Friday, July 10, 2026, I had the honour of delivering the keynote address at Mandela Hall, African Union Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations in New York, on _The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development across Africa.

Africa is a continent of immense riches. Indeed, it is the richest continent in the world, not only because of its vast mineral resources but also because of its greatest asset, its people. It is the second largest continent by landmass, after Asia, covering more than 30 million square kilometres. It is also the second most populous continent, with over 1.5 billion people. Significantly, more than one billion of these are young people in their productive years, making Africa home to the largest youthful workforce in the world.

When this demographic advantage is combined with nearly one billion hectares of arable land, about 60% of which remains uncultivated, it becomes clear that Africa possesses everything required not only to feed itself but also to become the food capital of the world.

Regrettably, despite this enormous potential, Africa remains home to the largest concentration of the world’s poorest people. Of the approximately 800 million people living in extreme poverty globally, nearly 60% are in Africa. That is about 480 million people, with Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the countries most affected. In other words, nearly one in every three Africans lives in extreme poverty. Likewise, in multidimensional poverty, Africa continues to bear the greatest burden.

The question, therefore, is simple. With all these advantages, why has Africa not been able to lift its people out of poverty?

It means there is a missing link. That missing link is Competent Leadership with Capacity, Compassion, Character, and Commitment to good governance.

What Africa needs is leadership that will rise to the challenge and drive the continent in the right direction. This means competent leadership with character, capacity, compassion and commitment to begin turning the continent around. When we get leadership right, everything else begins to change. We start realising our true potential.

So, what is the role of the Diaspora African in this journey?
You have an enormous role to play.

Because you live in societies where institutions largely work, where democracy is strengthened by accountability and where systems function more effectively, you have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help build Africa. It is time to become stronger advocates for good governance. Even where you cannot vote, your voices matter. They should be heard both at home and abroad whenever things are going wrong on our continent. Stand firmly for what is right. Speak truth to the leaders who visit you. Let them know where they are getting it wrong. That is what some of us have continued to do.

The contribution of the African diaspora extends far beyond advocacy. History teaches us that many of the world’s great economic transformations were driven, in part, by their diaspora communities.

Japan offers one example. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the country embraced modernisation and benefited immensely from Japanese scholars, professionals and citizens who studied and worked abroad, especially in Germany, before returning home to drive the technological transformation for which Japan is admired today.

China presents another remarkable example. It was under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms, beginning in 1978, that China embraced education, innovation and global engagement. These reforms created opportunities for the Chinese diaspora to contribute significantly to the country’s extraordinary economic transformation. In 1980, China had more people living in poverty than Africa. Today, China has reduced extreme poverty dramatically, while Africa continues to struggle with the challenge.
