New Paper Alert: We explore the notion of #home and #homelessness with #displaced and seasonal #economic #migrant groups in #Lagos: doi.org/10.1177/120633122614… @ceola
What happened to those boys killed? Were they illegal miners who did they mine for and what exactly happened to them?
BREAKING: Nigeria 🇳🇬 and USA 🇺🇸 has signed an agreement to deepen American investment in Nigeria’s mining sector.
This is an important step in strengthening Nigeria-US cooperation around Nigeria mineral resources, valued at about $700 billion. The framework covers geological data and exploration, mineral development and processing, infrastructure, and technical capacity.

If Nigerians really thought far, we would ask the right questions about the murder of the kids in Niger state! Now those kids are framed as illegal miners!! My theory is Something happening, those kids could tell a-lot and had to be made collateral damage!!!

I keep wondering why most Nigerians and Africans are seeking greener pastures, asylum and succor in Europe, America and Western countries, instead of the Putin’s Russia that most of them love and defend?
Putin is so good, but you cannot use X and many social media platforms in Russia.
The X you’re using in Nigeria to praise the Russian dictator isn’t available to Russians in Russia.
We can agree on the evils and hypocrisy of western countries while also admitting and recognizing the autocratic and murderous nature of the Russian state under Putin.
The suggestion that those who call out the autocratic regime in Russia and oppose the sick war in Ukraine are paid by the CIA or western governments is childish and silly.
Look at what autocratic rulers have done to the African continent.
Yes, western countries are supporting many of these autocrats, but only because the autocrats are themselves evil and traitorous.
Russia is not promoting democracy and good governance in Africa.
Just like the West, Russia and China are plundering and scampering for African natural resources.
The suggestion that the very murderous criminals and corrupt despots ruling over Cameroon, Burundi, Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, Djibouti, Eritrea, etc, are not willing traitors but only victims of western conspiracy is pedestrian.
One would expect the Putin-loving people of Nigeria to seek opportunities in Russia, but they are praying and budgeting for the British, American and western passports and visas.
I don’t see Africans celebrate relocating to Russia on social media. It is usually the UK, US and other western countries.
Why is that so?
Pan-Africanism that excuses the madness, corruption and intentional wickedness of African leaders, and conveniently blames foreign governments and intelligence agencies, is a joke.
The idea that African leaders lack agency and are only unwilling tools for imperialist countries is sickening.
When will we start accepting responsibility for our failures as a continent?

I honestly wish I hadn’t clicked on this, because now I’m fucking seething with rage.
⚠️ Video shows a toddler being beaten by presumably, the mother ⚠️
This quoted post is unavailable.
If this is in Nigeria, it doesnt sound like a Nigerian language, we need to find this mother, she needs a very good beating by many people before her arrest! People who beat children are worse than zoo animals, they are literal beast
We did this happen? Can we find her!!!! I could finish watching it, what needs to be beaten severely then arrested!!! @PoliceNG you need to do something about this mother beating a toddler

These guys hounded me at home. I just didn’t have the balls to commit suicide and because I had lost my father before that, my mother kept telling me that if I committed suicide, she would do the same. So, I carried on. People and institutions still avoid me.

What they've done to Jason Arday is exactly what they tried to do to Onyeka Nwelue and I three years ago, when I had a front row seat to my own attempted public ritual Oxbridge lynching.
After failing to sabotage my book launch at Oxford, they got one Canadian animal called Madeleine Foote to lie that I made "misogynistic comments" at the book launch. Then they launched a whole "fuck David Hundeyin" media crusade in the Oxford student newspaper, The TImes, The Telegraph etc. You'd have thought I committed a fucking crime or something.
But clearly they didn't do their research well. Because unlike with Jason, you can't mentally terrorise Nigerian men who were born and raised in Nigeria. If they know what it takes to survive and reach adulthood in that country, they wouldn't even have bothered.
The book whose launch they tried to sabotage became a national bestseller, and so did its follow-up. Miles Larmer the oyibo idiot who orchestrated the campaign ended up losing his job at Oxford and getting turfed out to some random university in Florida. His 2 main financial patrons Nasir El-Rufai and Chairman Wontumi are both in Kuje and Nsawam prison respectively.
And I will keep that "2023 James Currey Fellow, Cambridge University" on all my social media bios until I turn 60. Not because it means a lot to me, but because I know it pisses them off everyday.
RIP to Jason Arday, but when you're up against a racist academic lynch mob, the worst thing to do is to give them what they want. Taking his own life didn't solve anything because I know they're all secretly delighted at his death. The entire point of convening the lynch mob to begin with was to demonstrate that they are powerful enough to bully a once highly-regarded black academic into suicide, and this was exactly what I told Onyeka in 2023 when he was going through the same thing and feeling suicidal.
Never give them what they want!
I don't care whether Jason Arday was an academic fraud or not. Andrew Windsor a.k.a "Prince Andrew" is a paedophile who rapes children and eats babies, and there are pictures of him doing so on public record. Nobody in the entire British establishment has ever tried to bully him into taking his life. It's always the easiest, blackest targets that they go for because that is the fundamental core of the wretched British soul.
Cowardly, snivelling, conniving, two-faced, pathetic racist bastards.

As a university professor, I’ve turned down every single interview I’ve been offered. This guy’s life was normal, then… the media started to interview him for being the 1st black CU professor. Before you know it, a full blown witch-hunt! Then boom, his life is over! Be CAREFUL!
Gosh, not me with a new born, and a toddler wakes up and wants to teach me algebra. How long is the Kita holiday?
South Africa should be ashamed of how Chidinma Adetshina has been treated. Years of harassment, public humiliation, and targeting of someone born in the country is unacceptable. Whatever disputes exist over her parents' documentation, they should never justify making her the
