Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Kirsty Blackman challenged Prime Minister Theresa May yesterday about human rights threats to Igbos in Nigeria. The challenge came in the weekly encounter in the UK Parliament known as Prime Minister’s Questions, in which MPs question the PM about government business. Blackman, representing Aberdeen North, asked May: “At the last census, there were 3,000 Aberdonians who said that they were born in Nigeria. Recently, the UN human rights office reported concerns about threats to the Igbo people in Nigeria. The Foreign Secretary recently visited the country. Will the Prime Minister tell me what her Government are doing to encourage the communities there to live in peace?” May replied: “We make efforts across a number of fronts and we are providing support to Nigeria in a variety of ways. As the hon. Lady says, there is a significant diaspora with Nigerian connections and heritage in the United Kingdom. She is right that the Foreign Secretary visited Nigeria. We continue to work with Nigeria. It is important to work with Nigeria on the state of its economy to ensure that communities across Nigeria can feel stability and security for the future”. PM May was being economical with the truth and being evasive as usual. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was in Nigeria for two days at the end of August. There is nothing in the public domain showing that Johnson showed any interest in the country’s human rights record while in Nigeria.

Question: At the last census, there were 3,000 Aberdonians who said that they were born in Nigeria. Recently, the UN human rights office reported concerns about threats to the Igbo people in northern Nigeria. The Foreign Secretary recently visited the country. Will the Prime Minister tell me what her Government are doing to encourage the communities there to live in peace?” Answer May replied: “We make efforts across a number of fronts and we are providing support to Nigeria in a variety of ways. As the hon. Lady says, there is a significant diaspora with Nigerian connections and heritage in the United Kingdom. She is right that the Foreign Secretary visited Nigeria. We continue to work with Nigeria. It is important to work with Nigeria on the state of its economy to ensure that communities across Nigeria can feel stability and security for the future”. Note Lots of questions were asked the PM from immigration in the UK, or lack thereof, affecting catering staff in public schools, sepsis treatment, and even matters concerning the oil industry in Scotland and of course the fall out of the Grenfell tower fire incident. 2 Likes |

AmadiAba: same Britain that gave us Independence? I don't think they can do anything since they have big share in the country they created. But I will be happy if they can remove the present government. |
