| Politics › Economic Strain Fuel Boom In Nigerian-used Car Market As Owners Sell Off Vehicle by Godszilla(op): 9:39am On Aug 09, 2025 |
With rising inflation, soaring exchange rates, and surging import duties, Nigeria’s foreign-used car market is rapidly shrinking—giving way to a booming trade in locally-used vehicles. More Nigerians are selling off their private cars to cope with harsh economic realities, while buyers are increasingly opting for more affordable Nigerian-used alternatives. Foreign-Used Cars Now a Luxury Previously popular foreign-used cars, known as Tokunbo, have become unaffordable for many, thanks to a weakened naira and a hike in import tariffs— most notably the replacement of the 1% Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme (CISS) levy with a new 4% Free On Board (FOB) charge under the Customs Act 2023. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) defended the move as a step toward modernisation and digitisation. NCS Comptroller-General Adewale Adeniyi explained, “The one per cent CISS has served the country for decades. But as we embrace indigenous technology like the B’Odogwu platform, the Customs must find sustainable ways to fund these transformations.” But car dealers say the effect has been devastating. "Cotonou Now Comes to Us” — Dealers Speak Nurudeen Amodu, a Lagos-based dealer, told Saturday PUNCH that the price surge has flipped the script on the long-standing practice of Nigerian dealers sourcing cars from neighbouring countries. “Back then, we used to travel to Cotonou and other countries to buy cars because our currency had value. Now, they come to us. Some customers from Cotonou recently came to buy Nigerian-used cars. They said their currency is stronger than the naira,” Amodu said. He highlighted drastic price hikes: Foreign-used Toyota 2003–2006 models that once cost N1.5m now go for N8m–N10m Honda CR-V 2010 has risen from N5m to N13m Lexus RX330 from N5m to N15m Toyota Venza from N6m to nearly N20m He added, “Imagine running a car business with N100m capital. When cars were N5m, you could stock 10 units. Now each one costs over N15m. Many dealers are liquidating.” Swap Deals, Foreign Buyers, and Roadside Sales To stay afloat, some dealers now offer car swap services—allowing customers to trade in their old vehicles and add cash to upgrade. Others rely on foreign buyers. In Sokoto, multiple dealers confirmed an influx of buyers from Niger Republic. Haruna Abubakar, a dealer along Maiduguri Road, said, “I now have more customers from Niger Republic than within Nigeria. They mostly buy Toyota Corolla, Camry, and Sienna. The exchange rate makes it cheaper for them.” Another dealer, Mallam Jamiu Bello, added that some Nigerien buyers even request Nigerian number plates for ease of use back home. “You will find many cars in Niger Republic bearing Nigerian plates, especially from Sokoto,” he said. A Lagos-based seller, identified only as Sam, noted that buyers from Benin Republic and Cameroon are also cashing in on Nigeria’s economic downturn. “I bought a fairly used 2005 Toyota Corolla for N4m. I saw another for N5.2m because the owner needed money urgently. In Cotonou, a 2013 Ford Escape costs around 2.8m–3m CFA, while here it’s selling for N11m–N13m.” Private Owners Selling to Survive Beyond dealers, private owners are selling off personal vehicles to survive the rising cost of living. Olumide Adegbola, a former car owner, said he sold his Toyota Corolla for N4m to afford basic necessities. “Feeding my family became a struggle. I had no choice,” he said. Another man, Yunusa, admitted selling his car under false pretenses. “I told a client I was travelling, just so I could sell my car. Hunger will make you do anything to survive,” he confessed. “Now, I don’t have a car, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to afford one again.” https://www.opinionnigeria.com/economic-strain-fuels-boom-in-nigerian-used-car-market-as-more-owners-sell-off-vehicles/ |

| Crime › JAPA RED FLAGS: Secret Filming Reveals Brazen Tactics Of Immigration Scammers by Godszilla(op): 7:00am On Mar 31, 2025 |
Recruitment agents who scam foreign nationals applying to work in the UK care sector have been exposed by BBC secret filming. One of the rogue agents is a Nigerian doctor who has worked for the NHS in the field of psychiatry. The Home Office has acknowledged the system is open to abuse, but the BBC World Service's investigation shows the apparent ease with which these agents can scam people, avoid detection, and continue to profit. Our secret filming reveals agents' tactics, including: Illegally selling jobs in UK care companies Devising fake payroll schemes to conceal that some jobs do not exist Shifting from care to other sectors, like construction, that also face staff shortages Reports of immigration scams have increased since a government visa scheme - originally designed to let foreign medical professionals work in the UK - was broadened in 2022 to include care workers. To apply for the visa, candidates must first obtain a "Certificate of Sponsorship" (CoS) from a UK employer who is licensed by the Home Office. It is the need for CoS documents that is being exploited by rogue relocation agents. "The scale of exploitation under the Health and Care Work visa is significant," [/b]says Dora-Olivia Vicol, CEO of Work Rights Centre, a charity that helps migrants and disadvantaged people in the UK access employment justice. [b]"I think it has turned into a national crisis." She says there is "systemic risk inherent" in the sponsorship system, because it "puts the employer in a position of incredible power" and has "enabled this predatory market of middlemen to mushroom". The BBC sent two undercover journalists to approach relocation agents working in the UK. One met Dr Kelvin Alaneme, a Nigerian doctor and founder of the agency, CareerEdu, based in Harlow, Essex. His website states his business is a "launchpad for global opportunities catering to young Africans", claiming to have 9,800 "happy clients". Believing the BBC undercover journalist was well connected in the UK care sector, Dr Alaneme tried to recruit her to become an agent for his business, saying it would be very lucrative. "Just get me care homes. I can make you a millionaire," he said. As a potential business partner, our journalist was then given unprecedented insight into how immigration scams by agents like Dr Alaneme actually work. Dr Alaneme said he would pay £2,000 ($2,600) for each care home vacancy she was able to procure, and offered £500 ($650) commission on top. He then said he would sell the vacancies to candidates back in Nigeria. Charging candidates for a job is illegal in the UK. "They [the candidates] are not supposed to be paying because it's free. It should be free," he said, lowering his voice. "They are paying because they know it's most likely the only way." The BBC began investigating him following a series of online complaints about his relocation services. Praise - from south-east Nigeria and in his mid 30s - was one of those who complained, claiming he paid Dr Alaneme more than £10,000 ($13,000) for a job in the UK. He says he was told he was going to be working with a care company called Efficiency for Care, based in Clacton-on-Sea. It was only when he arrived that he realised the job didn't exist. If I had known there was no job, I would have not come here," he says. "At least back home in Nigeria, if you go broke, I can find my sister or my parents and go and eat free food. It's not the same here. You will go hungry." Praise says he messaged Efficiency for Care and Dr Alaneme for months, asking when he could start working. Despite promises of assistance from Dr Alaneme, the job never materialised. Almost a year later, he found a position with another care provider willing to sponsor him to remain in the UK. Our investigation found that Efficiency for Care employed - on average - 16 people in 2022, and 152 in 2023. Yet a letter sent from the Home Office to the company dated May 2023 - and seen by the BBC - showed it had issued 1,234 Certificates of Sponsorship to foreign workers between March 2022 and May 2023. Efficiency for Care's sponsorship licence was revoked in July 2023. The care company can no longer recruit from abroad, but continues to operate. It told the BBC it strongly refutes the allegation it colluded with Dr Alaneme. It said it believed it lawfully recruited staff from Nigeria and other countries. It has challenged the Home Office's revocation of its sponsorship licence, it said, and the matter is now in court. In another secretly filmed meeting, Dr Alaneme shared an even more sophisticated scam involving sponsorship documents for jobs that did not exist. He said the "advantage" of having a CoS that is unconnected to a job "is that you can choose any city you want". "You can go to Glasgow. You can stay in London. You can live anywhere," he told us. This is not true. If a migrant arrives in the UK on a Health and Care Work visa and does not work in the role they have been assigned, their visa could be cancelled and they risk being deported. In the secret filming, Dr Alaneme also described how to set up a fake payroll system to mask the fact the jobs are not real. "That [a money trail] is what the government needs to see," he said. Dr Alaneme told the BBC he strenuously denied services offered by CareerEdu were a scam or that it acted as a recruitment agency or provided jobs for cash. He said his company only offered legitimate services, adding that the money Praise gave him was passed on to a recruitment agent for Praise's transport, accommodation and training. He said he offered to help Praise find another employer free of charge. The BBC also carried out undercover filming with another UK-based recruitment agent, Nana Akwasi Agyemang-Prempeh, after several people told the BBC they had collectively paid tens of thousands of pounds for care worker positions for their friends and family that, it transpired, did not exist. They said some of the Certificates of Sponsorship Mr Agyemang-Prempeh gave them had turned out to be fakes - replicas of real CoS issued by care companies. We discovered Mr Agyemang-Prempeh had then begun offering CoS for UK jobs in construction - another industry that allows employers to recruit foreign workers. He was able to set up his own construction company and obtain a sponsorship licence from the Home Office. Our journalist, posing as a UK-based Ugandan businessman wanting to bring Ugandan construction workers over to join him, asked Mr Agyemang-Prempeh if this was possible. He replied it was - for the price of £42,000 ($54,000) for three people. Mr Agyemang-Prempeh told us he had moved into construction because rules are being "tightened" in the care sector - and claimed agents were eyeing other industries. "People are now diverting to IT," Mr Agyemang-Prempeh told the undercover journalist. More than 470 licences in the UK care sector were revoked by the government between July 2022 and December 2024. Those licensed sponsors were responsible for the recruitment of more than 39,000 medical professionals and care workers from October 2020. Mr Agyemang-Prempeh later asked for a downpayment for the Certificates of Sponsorship, which the BBC did not make. The Home Office has now revoked his sponsorship licence. Mr Agyemang-Prempeh's defence, when challenged by the BBC, was that he had himself been duped by other agents and did not realise he was selling fake CoS documents. In a statement to the BBC, the Home Office said it has "robust new action against shameless employers who abuse the visa system" and will "ban businesses who flout UK employment laws from sponsoring overseas workers". In November 2024, the [b]government announced a clampdown on "rogue" employers hiring workers from overseas. Additionally, from 9 April, care providers [/b]in England will be required to prioritise recruiting international care workers already in the UK before recruiting from overseas. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1en4dx7yn9o 1 Like |

| Foreign Affairs › NATO Chief Issues Sharp Warning To Zelensky After Car Crash Trump Talks by Godszilla(op): 5:56pm On Mar 01, 2025 |
NATO chief Mark Rutte has said he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he needs to find a way to restore his relationship with President Donald Trump after Friday's White House clash. 'It is important that President Zelensky finds a way to restore his relationship with the American President and with the senior American leadership team,' Rutte told the BBC on Saturday, commenting on a call he had with Zelensky on Friday. He described the meeting at the White House as 'unfortunate'. Rutte's dire warning to the war-time president comes as Zelensky duked it out with Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office over the conditions of a possible ceasefire with Russia. Tempers flared on all sides, with Trump threatening to abandon Ukraine completely if Zelensky didn't agree to his peace terms. He and Vance also repeatedly accused Zelensky of not being grateful for America's sustained military support of Ukraine, which has totaled to roughly $100 billion according to one recent estimate. Meanwhile, Zelensky showed pictures of the devastation of his country to Trump while also arguing he had thanked the American people for their aid. The yelling match was unlike anything ever seen publicly in the Oval Office. And it played out on TV screens across the world. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14450369/NATO-chief-issues-warning-Zelensky-Trump-talks.html |
| Foreign Affairs › Democratic Governor Proposes Replacing 'mother' With 'inseminated Person' by Godszilla(op): 8:12am On Feb 23, 2025 |
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, is facing criticism after proposing a budget that would replace terms like 'mother' with 'inseminated person' and 'paternity' with 'parentage' in certain sections of state law. The 2025-2027 budget proposal, introduced by the state Senate's Joint Committee on Finance, also recommends replacing gendered terms such as 'wife' and 'husband' with 'spouse.' Additionally, references to 'father' would be changed to 'parent,' and 'mother' would be substituted with 'parent who gave birth to the child.' The proposal has sparked backlash, with Wisconsin radio host Dan O'Donnell calling the changes 'beyond parody' in a post on X. Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany called out Evers for 'attempting to sneak [the terminology] into a thousand-page budget bill. 'This isn't just crazy — it's an insult to women who give birth and raise children,' he said in a post on X. Other X users were equally as outraged. Author Lauren B. Jones wrote, 'It literally feels like Democrats are trying to erase women.' 'Why are they doubling down on an incredibly stupid and unpopular issue?' said another user https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14424891/democrat-governor-wisconsin-tony-evers-woke-change-mother-URL.html 2 Likes |

| Foreign Affairs › Clarence Thomas Is The Go-to Justice To Swear In Trump’s Cabinet by Godszilla(op): 6:12pm On Feb 07, 2025 |
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has spent recent days alongside several Trump administration Cabinet officials – making them official. In the process, he and his wife, Ginni, have drawn exceptional attention from President Donald Trump himself. On Wednesday morning, Thomas swore in Doug Collins to be secretary of Veterans Affairs, at a private ceremony in an ornate, chandeliered, Supreme Court conference room. Then Thomas rode over to the White House and administered the oath to Pam Bondi as she became the new attorney general. Joining Thomas was his wife, a longtime conservative activist, whom the president extolled at the Oval Office event. Thomas later swore in Scott Turner as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, also as Trump looked on, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. A week earlier, Thomas had read the oath to Sean Duffy, the new secretary of the Department of Transportation, in a closed ceremony at the Supreme Court with Duffy’s family. A few days before that, on Saturday, January 25, Thomas swore in Kristi Noem, who is overseeing the Department of Homeland Security, at the foot of a grand staircase at Thomas’ suburban Virginia home. Such events have made Thomas notably ubiquitous in this second Trump administration, at a time when a raft of litigation arising from Trump’s executive orders is already bound for the justices. Trump may also be already eyeing a possible high court vacancy in his new term. During his first four-year term, he transformed the bench with the appointment of three new justices for a new right-wing supermajority among the nine. Thomas, appointed to the bench in 1991 and now at 76, the eldest justice, has led much of the current court’s rightward trajectory. He has directed its contraction of individual rights, such as with the 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion. Asked about the Thomas events or any other justices’ related activities, the Supreme Court public information office said it had no information. There was no response to a request put through the spokesperson directly to the justice. On Wednesday, a White House official told CNN that Trump had specifically requested Thomas for the Cabinet members swearing-in ceremonies. During the event for Bondi, Trump praised the justice and Ginni Thomas, who watched from a few feet away. “I’d like to thank Justice Clarence Thomas and his incredible wife, who is here someplace – his highly-respected wife,” Trump said. The president recalled when he first learned of Thomas’ star power in conservative circles. As Trump introduced the justice at an event some years ago, Trump said, “The place went crazy. It was then that I realized that you are a very popular guy and respected guy.” Thomas nodded in acknowledgement on Wednesday but did not appear to directly respond to him. The few words the justice spoke in the Oval Office, at least while the cameras were rolling, involved the official oath he gave to Bondi. He wished her well and stepped to the side. The official declined to say how much time the president and Thomas later spent together at the White House. Thomas’ White House presence and involvement with multiple Cabinet officials nonetheless stands out. Traditionally, most new members of the Cabinet are sworn in by the vice president. (One exception occurred in 2019 when Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath to Bill Barr to be attorney general; Roberts and Barr had worked together in the George H.W. Bush administration.) According to postings on the websites of the two administration agencies, however, Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin.) In a statement to CNN, Kavanaugh said: “Over the last 19 years as a Judge and now Justice, I have administered the oath of office to countless judges, executive branch officers, and federal employees. I am always honored to do so.” Presidents on occasion have spent time individually with justices, developing some friendships but largely keeping their respective missions separate. Trump has signaled that he would prefer more interaction, at least at the start of his new term. In January, he called Justice Samuel Alito regarding a former Alito law clerk who was seeking a position in the new administration. It occurred as the justices were about to take up Trump’s emergency plea to avoid sentencing in his Manhattan hush-money case. In a statement to ABC News when it reported on the call, Alito said, “We did not discuss the emergency application he filed today, and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed.” The official who spoke to CNN on Wednesday explained the oath-ceremony requests to Thomas by saying only that the president “deeply respects and admires Justice Thomas.” During Trump’s first term, the justice and Ginni joined Trump for private lunch, in 2018. Ginni was known for working to become involved with the administration and to ensure loyalists were among Trump’s top aides. Ginni Thomas also became one of Trump’s most ardent supporters after he had lost his 2020 reelection bid. Communications between her and Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows emerged during the US House of Representatives’ investigation of Trump’s interference with the 2020 election results that made Joe Biden president. She implored Meadows to continue challenging the results and declared in one message, “The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist in our History.” Trump, of course, was able to put all that behind him as he won a new second term. And now Ginni Thomas, with her husband, have been at the scene as his new team is ushered in. “It is such an honor to be sworn in as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security,” Noem said in a statement on the DHS site. “It was made even more meaningful by being sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at his home.” https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/06/politics/clarence-thomas-trump-cabinet-swearing-in/index.html |

These are a few common grounds for appeals. 1. Improper exclusion or admission of evidence: Before a trial, there's a hearing to determine which evidence will be allowed. If a judge excludes relevant evidence or allows improper evidence during the trial, it can be presented as a legal error on appeal. 2. Incorrect jury instructions Jury instructions occur at the end of a trial, where the judge advises the jury on the applicable laws. If a judge fails to inform the jury correctly or omits relevant laws, it can be a basis for appeal. 3. Ineffective assistance of counsel: If a defense attorney performs poorly, falling below the expected standard of competence, it qualifies as ineffective assistance of counsel. Examples include failing to call crucial witnesses, not objecting to improper evidence, or missing court hearings. 4. Insufficient evidence to support a guilty verdict: For a criminal conviction, there must be enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence is insufficient, it can be a strong argument for appeal. From the unreliable testimonies from a convicted criminal, the complete lack of evidence of a single crime, the violations of the sixth amendment since the judge never cited the actual crimes, the judge rejecting Trump's rebuttals and defenses, not allowing a FEC expert to testify for Trump, the judge's overall unprofessional behavior on the job to the jury’s redundant instructions from the judge about not requiring an unanimous decision. fergie001: |

JK Rowling has come under fire again after stating there are 'no trans kids' and people cannot be born in the wrong body. Rowling has been the focus of controversy over the last few years for her views on women's rights and transgender issues. And in a post shared to X - formerly Twitter - the Harry Potter author appeared to go a step further, suggesting transgender children do not exist. She was responding to a critic who accused her of 'hateful focus on trans kids'. But Rowling hit back: 'There are no trans kids. No child is "born in the wrong body". There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.' The post elicited an array of strong comments, most supportive of the 59-year-old. One person said 'J.K.

This comes as the user who had initially criticised Rowling also said they wished she would use her 'immense power for good'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14233581/JK-Rowling-says-no-trans-kids-says-NO-child-born-wrong-body-response-online-troll-accused-hateful-focus.html 1 Like 1 Share |
| Sports › Guéhi And Crystal Palace Warned By FA Over ‘I Love Jesus’ Rainbow Armband by Godszilla(op): 3:42pm On Dec 03, 2024*. Modified: 4:27pm On Dec 03, 2024 |
Marc Guéhi will not face any punishment for writing “I love Jesus” on a rainbow armband, with the Football Association instead set to formally contact the Crystal Palace captain and his club to remind them of its regulations about not displaying any kind of religious messages. All Premier League clubs were given an armband for team captains to wear to promote Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign, which runs from 29 November to 5 December. The England defender, whose father was a minister of a local church in south-east London, added the message to his armband for his side’s 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Saturday. The appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing, football boots or other equipment, of any religious message is prohibited under Rule A4 of the governing body’s regulations. The FA declined to comment on whether any repeat by Guéhi could lead to a charge but it is understood that the England centre-back and Palace will be formally reminded of the rules. Team captains are again due to wear the rainbow armband in the midweek round of matches, with Palace facing Ipswich on Tuesday night. Ipswich’s captain, Sam Morsy, was the only captain not to wear the armband at the weekend, during Ipswich’s 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, due to his religious beliefs as a practising Muslim Ipswich said in a statement on Monday that it is planning “a range of further initiatives” around the game against Palace, including “a takeover of the stadium’s big screen in the moments prior to kick-off”. “At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain’s armband due to his religious beliefs,” Ipswich’s statement added. “We will continue to grow an environment where all are valued and respected, both on and off the pitch.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/dec/03/marc-guehi-and-crystal-palace-warned-by-fa-over-i-love-jesus-armband |
