Odogwu: Why Haters won't Give Credit To Tinubu For $537m New US Consulate In Eko Atlantic(Photos) If I was a news presenter working for CNN, BBC or any of the big international multimedia agencies this is exactly how I would report the groundbreaking ceremony of a new consulate office constructed at the iconic Eko Atlantic City in Lagos by the American Government. " The United States Government Authorities against all odds have started the construction of a new consulate office in Nigeria, to be located at the next financial capital of West Africa, Eko Atlantic. The consulate when completed would be the largest American diplomatic office in the world and would cost a whopping $537m, demonstrating the importance of the relationship between the United States and Nigeria. According to the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General, Victoria Island, Lagos the consulate would directly benefit the Nigerian people, as an estimated $95 million would be invested in the local economy, with the project employing approximately 2,500 Nigerian citizens, including engineers, architects, artisans, construction workers, and administrative staff. The project however would not have been possible if not for the visionary leadership of former Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu who saw the need to develop a new city right out of the ATLANTIC OCEAN." Gbam, haters would never want to give credit to whom it is due because of their blind hate for a man who was visionary and saw the need to permanently solve the erosion of the one-time bubbling Lagos Bar Beach. When Tinubu started this under the Lagos State Waterfront and Tourism Development Corporation which was created by the then Lagos State Governor he met stiff opposition from the PDP led Federal Government. They accused Tinubu of trying to loot the Ecological Account which was saddled with the responsibility of protecting Bar Beach. Tinubu said," make una keep una money I get big plans". Tinubu then brought all the experts across the globe and started the long journey towards building the Eko Atlantic City. Eko Atlantic is poised to be the new financial capital of West Africa and would meet the need for financial, commercial, residential, and tourist accommodations, with infrastructure in line with modern and environmental standards. My people truth no dey break teeth oh, una don see pictures from the City? E b like Dubai oh. I no go fit dey waste my quality time list the advantages of living or trading in Eko Atlantic, who dey go Dubai suppose know say Eko Atlantic na the next super Dubai of the world. But election don reach ground now dem wan rubbish Tinubu, say the man too old, e too dis, na thief , na omila everything just because of hate. Let them bring the saints that are Pius, Holy, Godly, Exalted, Divine, Spotless, Perfect, Sacred and Heavenly and let them show us how they have been able to transform their local government or street in any way. Shey all those wey dey contest for president don first get one public office or the other? Let them come here and tell us what impact they have made even in their office complex not to talk of their community or state. I heard some ignoramuses saying Tinubu does not deserve credit for Eko Atlantic and I laughed. Hate can only tear you down and make you physically sick. Tinubu is the progenitor of modern-day Eko, if you like you accept am or not na your business b dat, the facts are there for all to see. Anyway come and see awesome pictures of Tinubu at the groundbreaking ceremony of the $537 million American consulates at TINUBU Atlantic, sorry I mean Eko Atlantic. Tinubu remains the Odogwu of visionary leadership, hate him or love him we are blessed to have such a visionary as one of us. Remember the slogan, AS E DEY PAIN DEM NA SO E DEY SWEET US. Eko oni baje o.........o baje ti. My name na Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah and I am the Principal/Chairman of Bush Radio Academy Source iReporteronline.

Hungary accused of inflating number of Ukrainian arrivals to seek EU funds Claim 540,000 refugees welcomed ‘misleading’ as most travelling on to other countries, say rights groups Hungary’s far-right government has been accused of inflating the number of Ukrainian refugees it is sheltering as it seeks to secure European funds to finance their welfare. Days before what will be a closely-fought general election against a unified opposition bloc, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz administration – which has previously trumpeted its hostility to those it considers illegal migrants – claimed it had accepted more refugees fleeing Ukraine than any other neighbouring country after taking Hungary’s population of 9.6 million into account. Zoltan Kovacs, the government’s international spokesperson, said Hungary had welcomed more than 540,000 people escaping the conflict, a figure he said amounted to between five and six refugees for every 100 Hungarian inhabitants. However, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights NGO dedicated to helping refugees, called the statistics “misleading” and said most of those arriving subsequently travelled on to other countries. The number of refugees in Hungary was much lower than the official figures, the committee insisted. It also said the Hungarian government had failed to take adequate steps to inform those who had chosen to remain of their right to official protection, and added that Hungarian communication efforts paled beside neighbouring Poland and Slovakia, which has provided online forms to apply for protection. Despite the massive exodus from Ukraine, as of 27 March, according to official figures, only 7,749 people had applied for temporary protected status in Hungary entitling them to social welfare support including housing, the right to work and access to education, as required by an EU decision on how those fleeing the Russian invasion should be treated across the bloc. Márta Pardavi, the Helsinki committee’s co-chair, said the relatively low number of applicants showed many refugees were merely passing through Hungary, while others were having trouble obtaining information about their entitlements. “How many people entered at the border does not mean anything about how many are staying longer than the time it takes to transit Hungary,” she said. “In reality, there are far less Ukrainian refugees staying in Hungary. “In its quest for additional funds from the EU, the Hungarian government uses the most impressive number it can find. However, it has to provide for a far less number in reality since a high number of Ukrainian refugees move on to other countries. “It’s as if you count the number of people who go into a clothes store and then you tell the company owner that this is the number of your customers – but there’s a big gap between the number who walk in and the people who actually buy things. Actually getting protected status is not made easy, you have to queue up at the immigration office and no one has received it yet.” Orban – who has declared that “all those fleeing from Ukraine will find a friend in the Hungarian state” – wrote to the European Commission on 18 March requesting funding from its recovery and resilience facility to help deal with the refugee inflow, which at that point he put at 450,000. No decision has been made on the application. Orban’s government has been in prolonged dispute with the EU over the suspension of funding as punishment for infringements against EU rule of law procedures, with Brussels having already frozen €7bn (£5.9bn) in Covid relief funds for Hungary. Speaking to the Guardian in his office near the Hungarian parliament, Kovacs said he did not know how many refugees were in the country. “Many of them have biometric passports, which means they have visa-free movement within the European Union,” he said. “We can only have a relationship with those who apply for refugee status or asylum.” In addition to those seeking protected status, another 80,000 had applied for 30-day temporary residency permits, he said. Asked to explain the gap between those figures and the much higher number of arrivals, he said: “Many of those who have come from Ukraine are coming with the knowledge that they have relatives, friends, all over Europe and they try to spend some time with them until the war is over. “The Hungarian state is doing everything according to what we have agreed with the united European opinion.” In a later statement, a press release issued by Kovacs’ office said Hungary had provided 5.4m euros (£4.6m) in humanitarian aid within the framework of the Hungary Helps programme, with an additional €8.1m earmarked to support six charities. It said nearly 9,500 refugees were given assistance at an emergency humanitarian transit point set up at Budapest’s BOK stadium and concert hall on Monday, while 758 Ukrainian children have been enrolled in Hungarian schools and individual tutoring is being provided to help with integration. Pardavi said some of those still in Hungary were staying in hotels at their own expense. Many had not applied for EU protected status because they were not aware of it, while those who had made applications have to wait up to 45 days for the process to be completed. In the meantime, welfare is being provided by charities and NGOs, she said. In the Czech Republic – which, unlike Hungary, already had a large prewar Ukrainian expatriate community but no border with Ukraine – authorities have issued more 242,000 temporary visas to refugees and estimate the total number inside the country at 300,000, far below the Hungarian entry figures. More than 240,000 have already registered for Czech state health insurance. The Czech Republic is also seeking European funding to help deal with the crisis. Poland has had £30bn in EU pandemic recovery funding frozen in a long-running dispute over rule of law breaches. But the country’s differences with Brussels have begun to fade into the background as its humanitarian effort to help refugees and expressions of solidarity with Ukraine have earned it plaudits. Poland has so far received more than 2 million people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine and the Polish government has said it will spend €2.2bn this year alone to support them. Warsaw is pressing for the pandemic funding to be released, plus other sources of EU compensation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/30/hungary-accused-of-inflating-number-of-ukrainian-arrivals-to-seek-eu-funds Mynd44 |

Investigation: African students fleeing Vladimir Putin’s invasion disappearing into detention centreshttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-refugees-detention-international-students-b2041310.html%3famp

Investigation: African students fleeing Vladimir Putin’s invasion disappearing into detention centres Non-white students who have fled Ukraine have been detained by EU border authorities in what has been condemned as “clearly discriminatory” and “not acceptable”. An investigation by The Independent, in partnership with Lighthouse Reports and other media partners, reveals that Ukraine residents of African origin who have crossed the border to escape the war have been placed in closed facilities, with some having been there for a number of weeks. At least four students who have fled Vladimir Putin’s invasion are being held in a long-term holding facility Lesznowola, a village 40km from the Polish capital Warsaw, with little means of communication with the outside world and no legal advice. One of the students said they were stopped by officials as they crossed the border and were given “no choice” but to sign a document they did not understand before they were then taken to the camp. They do not know how long they will be held there. A Nigerian man currently detained said he was “scared” about what will happen to him after being held in the facility for more than three weeks. Polish border police have confirmed that 52 third-country nationals who have fled Ukraine are currently being held in detention facilities in Poland. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said they were aware of three other facilities in Poland where people non-Ukrainians who have fled the war are being detained. Separately, a Nigerian student who fled the Russian invasion is understood to have been detained in Estonia after travelling to the country to join relatives, and is now being threatened with deportation. This is despite a EU protection directive dated 4 March which states that third country nationals studying or working in Ukraine should be admitted to the EU temporarily on humanitarian grounds. Maria Arena, chair of the EU parliament’s subcommittee on human rights, said: “International students in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainians, are at risk and risking their lives in the country. Detention, deportation or any other measure that does not grant them protection is not acceptable.” The findings of the investigation, which was carried out in collaboration with Lighhtouse Reports, Spiegal, Mediapart and Radio France, comes after it emerged that scores of Black and Asian refugees fleeing Ukraine were experiencing racial discrimination while trying to make border crossing last month. ‘They took us here to the camp... I’m scared’ Gabriel*, 29, had been studying trade and economics in Kharkov before war broke out. The Nigerian national left the city and arrived at the border on 27 February, where he says his phone was confiscated by Polish border guards and he was given “no option” but to sign a form he did not understand. “It was written in Polish. I didn’t know what I was signing. I said I wouldn’t sign, but they insisted I signed it and that if not I would go to jail for five months,” he said in a recorded conversation with a Nigerian activist. The student said he was then taken to court, where there was no interpreter to translate what was being said so that he could understand, and then taken to a detention centre in the small village of Lesznowola. “It is a closed camp inside a forest,” said Gabriel, speaking from the facility. “There’s no freedom. Some people have been here more than nine months. Some have gone mad. I’m scared. “We escaped Ukraine very horrible experience, the biggest risk of my life [...] Everything was scary and I thought that was the end of it. And now we are in detention.” Gabriel said there are at least two other Nigerian students in the camp, along with students from Cameroon, Ghana, the Ivory Coast and French African nations. Guards at the centre said inmates have their mobile phones confiscated, with only those who have a second sim card given a phone without a camera. Many can only communicate with the outside world via email – and even this is said to be limited to certain times. Another individual detained at the centre is Paul, 20, a Cameroonian who had been studying management and language at Agrarian University Bila Tserkva in Kyiv for six months when the war started. His brother, Victor, who is in Cameroon, said Paul had told him that he had been apprehended while crossing the border and that on 2 March, a Polish judge ordered that he be transferred to Lesznowola detention centre. “From his explanation, the camp doesn’t seem like one that welcomes people fleeing from the war in Ukraine. It’s a camp that has been existing and has people that came to seek for asylum. No one knows why he is being detained,” he said. Victor said that Paul was given seven days to appeal the decision to detain him, but that he has been unable to access the internet in order to file the appeal in time. “Since that day he filed the appeal, police and guards try to restrict them. He used to get five minutes of internet but on that day they stopped letting them use the internet. The phone he used to communicate with me was blocked. Maybe it’s because they realised that the issue was taking on a legal dimension,” he said. ‘He’s not allowed to be in Estonia’ This investigation has also heard reports that a Nigerian student, Reuben, is facing deportation from Estonia after being detained having fled the war in Ukraine. Prior to his arrival in the eastern European country, 32-year-old Reuben emailed the head of International House, a service centre that helps internationals in Estonia to communicate with the state, explaining that he wanted to join his cousin living in the country. The head of the organisation Leonardo Ortega responded by letter that he may relocate to Estonia. Reuben, who attended Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University in Ukraine and is married to a Ukrainian woman, arrived on 9 March through Poland with his cousin Peter. After being delayed for three hours at the Estonia border, the pair were escorted to a police station, according to Peter, 30, who has an Estonian residency permit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-refugees-detention-international-students-b2041310.html%3famp Mynd44
