The UK elections is over. Labour has won convincingly and Rishi Sunak has conceded defeat. The dynamics of this UK election show that the dynamics of UK politics has changed for some time to come. How? 1. The Power of Immigrants: Peter Obi tweeted "Vote Labour" and an avalanche of African votes moved to Labour. Remember when David Cameron attended an RCCG crusade in the UK and Pastor Adeboye laid hands on him in front of the audience? Well, that act galvanized support from Africans broadly for the Conservatives. With the new realities in Nigeria and the silence of Adeboye in the face of "political realities" in Nigeria, the mantle of influence has now moved to Peter Obi, who enjoys broad support among Africans. Conversely, Rishi tweeted support for a flawed Nigerian election and then tried to stem legal migration for Africans. Well, it is safe to say that he got the middle finger from immigrant votes. Even the Indians were astounded as to how he would have pushed forward the current immigration bill barring dependents from coming to the UK. 2. Global Politics: In Europe and North America, global politics and happenings now have a say in internal elections. The current ones; Israel-Palestinian and Russia-Ukraine were dominant topical issues. For instance, citizens and non-citizens from Eastern Europe resident in the UK, could not fathom the dwindling support of the UK for Ukraine when they could see how Boris Johnson galvanized support for Ukraine. It is not actually Rishi's fault, the UK couldn't just keep sending money and weapons to a war that couldn't be won. Who says politics is a rational thing? Thus, many voted on emotions and sentiments to send Labour to Number 10. Furthermore, the Muslims who are obviously angry at the Conservative's support for Israel in the ongoing battle against Hamas, simply switched to Labour. 3. Home Alone Don't Matter Anymore: With more than 10 political parties in the fray (yes the two dominant ones are Labour and Conservatives, but there are others), home votes (UK citizens) can no longer be depended upon to win an election. Africans, Middle Easterners, Eastern Europeans, Indians now form a "Swing Vote". I guess the conservatives didn't see this coming. Additionally, thousands of home vote who traditionally vote for conservatives swung towards labour after what they did to Boris Johnson (The man who helped them smash the Red Wall). Well, cheers to New Beginnings in the UK under a Labour Party. Aside cost of living and economic hardships, what made you vote labour? Lets have your comments.

Nigerians in the UK 🇬🇧, please bless us with February dumps. JPEGs & Food edition. Let’s have it 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 #NIUKFebruaryDumps

Dear Nigerians, My administration is dedicated to evolving home-grown solutions to tackle our nation's food security challenges head-on including setting up schemes to bolster local food production and cut out all forms of rent-seeking tied to food importation. I reiterated this commitment during my emergency meeting today at the State House, with all 36 state governors, the Vice-President, Kashim Shettima, the National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of the DSS, and some ministers. ON THE SECURITY OF LIVES AND PROPERTY 1. I have approved the creation of a committee that includes state governors and federal government representatives to explore, among other things, the possibility of establishing state police. 2. I have also endorsed the training and equipping of forest rangers by sub-national governments to protect human and natural resources in our communities. My stance is unequivocal: we must move aggressively to examine the issues raised, including the potential for establishing state police. ON FOOD SECURITY Following reports out of Kano and other areas about large-scale hoarding of food in some warehouses, I have instructed the National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services to coordinate closely to ensure that security agencies in the states inspect such warehouses and take follow-up action. 1. We cannot allow speculators, hoarders, and rent seekers to undermine our efforts in ensuring that food is widely available to all Nigerians. 2. I will not establish a price control board, nor will I approve the importation of food. We must extricate ourselves from this predicament because importation only enables rent seekers to perpetrate fraud and mismanagement at our collective expense. 3. Instead, we will support our farmers with schemes that encourage them to cultivate more food for the nation. 4. We must also rapidly but thoughtfully implement our livestock development and management plans, including dairy farming and others. ON MONETARY POLICY AND THE CBN I urge all governors to trust the Central Bank of Nigeria with the management of our country’s monetary policy, and emphasized the need for designated institutions to effectively fulfill their mandate. The "cacophony of postulations" on the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates is adversely affecting the market. Not everyone can be an expert. If we have assigned someone a task, we must allow them to perform it. If they fail, then we must find a way to quickly remove them from the system. I also ask our governors to always prioritize the welfare and prosperity of our people in their development programs, and I asssure them that the federal government will continue to work diligently to improve the nation’s revenue profile. As leaders, we must all work together to address issues of insecurity, food security, and out-of-school children. Thank You Bola Ahmed Tinubu President
