https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/29/british-virgin-islands-direct-rule-andrew-fahie-drug-arrest UK to impose direct rule over British Virgin Islands after inquiry finds rampant corruption In a further twist the islands’ premier has been arrested in Miami sting operation on suspicion of drug trafficking Britain is poised to impose a form of direct rule over the British Virgin Islands after the Caribbean territory’s premier was arrested in Miami on suspicion for drug running, and a UK-appointed commission of inquiry found rampant failings in governance. Andrew Fahie was due to appear in court in Miami on Friday, a day after he was arrested by the US Drug Enforcement Agency in an elaborate sting operation that also snared the chief executive of the BVI port authority and her son. Hours before his court appearance, the commission of inquiry – launched in 2021 – reported on widespread abuses, including millions of dollars of government funds that were spent each year by politicians and ministries without proper process. |
Nigerians that don't place emphasis on evidence will pay heavily in a world desperate to subjugate black people. Make no misstate, this sort of evidenceless twit is attempting to lay the foundation for Africans to denegrade Nigerians further on Social Media. Nigerians need to be very angry with Africans. |
UNDFTD:Or something is wrong with your brain. The fact you're more outraged by Nigeria the victim rather than the terrorists, the persecutors, isn't helpful. |
unclejb2:Hopefully she will grow up determined to work for a country where others do not have her start in life. She will from time to time stare at her mother when her mother isn't noticing and think i love this woman, this mother that was strong enough to successfully give birth to me amidst squalor not just of land and air but the squalor that is a type of man capable of killing, kidnapping and exploiting for financial gains, a new born baby. I love this nation Nigeria that influenced the character of my mother and imbued her extraordinary strengths. I will dedicate my life to ensure her well being as she ages and her vitality wanes. I will strive to make my society better by helping others regardless of class, religion, tribe or race. Monstrous people will not win by turning me into a bitter selfish soul. |
angelfallz:Indeed. We need green, clean cities, how ever irregularly spaced our buildings are. We need clear demarcations between roads, pavements, grass verges, buildings, parks and so on. We need sewerage systems and dirt collection to work and become industries on to themselves. If we can manage this combination, our towns and cities, irregularly ordered as they may be, will have character unique and admirable. |
thesicilian:There is never enough food to eat, ask fat people. |
Urheadmaster:Nigerians should be proud of this and other nations should emulate Nigeria if possible. I also admire some Nigeria ethnic groups that lay to rest some loved ones in the foundation of their homes. Op's summation of the tax discrepancy is a salient one. |
So he's aiming to protect trolls, racists, miscellaneous bigots, Terrorist funding nations and troll houses set up by Coonish Africa nations that target Nigeria instead of places like Dubai ? |
Arguably a good idea but I haven't the energy to make that argument. |
ebenhazard:You're uninformed or you're not recalling - and bringing to bare on the present - stuff you've read, watched or heard in the history of your existence up to now. Sabotage happens regardless of a Nations developmental index. |
ojesymsym:Hiding in this post is an unintentional profound message for some of those wailing for Nigeria to break up because it is not yet like Abroad. |
DeZoro:What country will you have them grow up in? Please tell so that i can research whether heinous crimes occur there or not. |
Seredebe:The area can be confusing , C.A.R,D.R.C, C but my apologies to C.A.R folks. |
Whoa Congo stealing Nigeria's thunder as the adventurous, daring, innovative and trend setting ones among Africans. Hope it works for them and attracts to Congo all the help that some of the world's brightest minds in blockchain industry can provide. Meanwhile i cant even get my Nigerians believing we can be early EV industry adopters. We are becoming the Africans that know their place. The Africans that wont think for ourselves because anything white people didn't think of first is not worth considering. |
Why put hand over an open fire then blame the cooker or the house where the cooker sits or the land where the house stands for inflicting burn on you ? Nigerians do the equivalent of this all the time. Please Nigerians, know that without establishing a CV and background checks system that in turn relies on national data and information industry, you are always going to be avoidably more vulnerable to the whims and caprices of humanities utilitarianism. The unknown identifies out there that post in as Nigerians are quick to label actual Nigerians bad and dishonest people but to me Nigerians are the most honest and kindest people in the world. No other people in the world could live with the cohesion Nigeria has managed if they lived in nations with absent state. You have no policing industry, no border security, no working state apparatus, no bureaucracy - hec Kafka would have second thoughts if Nigeria existed in his time. |
When I was in Nigeria, and if you examined it thoroughly, it become apparent that chronic poverty and lack of local opportunity wasn't the whole truth of the matter, Nigerians wanted to travel abroad because it felt as if living in Africa secluded one from the rest of the world where some vague notion of Real Life Living was taking place. The relationship was akin to Village versus The City. Africa was like the Village and the West the City. Now however we have the internet. The internet has further integrated the world after the era of cheaper air-flights and globalisation. Africa is now no longer as isolated and removed from contemporary world issues as before. In a manner of speaking , you can work (and even play) from Nigeria for New York, Tokyo and London. You probably could school from Nigeria in Harvard or Oxford. And if Meta, the platform formerly known as Facebook, isn't destroyed by fashionable dislike for Mark, it will lead the knew revolution, the VR revolution, that will further integrate mankind. |
Kelechi20007:OP Do not sell your house. Do not dishonor your mother. Do not take the advice of Niaralanders that are the advocates for Japa. If you'd asked, "should I amputate my left leg and arm and sell it to Ritualists for money to fund my masters in the Ukraine?" they would advise you to do so and with all seriousness too. Keep your house, don't tamper with your mother's resting place, find money to fund your masters degree. If you are determined enough, you'll find the money. |

By CHINEDU ASADU, Associated Press 7 hrs ago | ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — At least 100 people may have died in an explosion at an illegal oil refinery in southeast Nigeria, a local oil official said Sunday as the search intensified for bodies at the site and for two people suspected of being involved in the blast. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, in a statement, called the explosion a “catastrophe and a national disaster.” The explosion Friday night at the facility in Ohaji-Egbema local government area in Imo state was triggered by a fire at two fuel storage areas where more than 100 people worked, state officials told The Associated Press. Dozens of workers were caught up in the explosion while many others attempted to escape the blaze by running into wooded areas. Those who died in the disaster are estimated to be within “the range of 100,” said Goodluck Opiah, the Imo commissioner for petroleum resources. “A lot of them ran into the bush with the burns and they died there.” Buhari has directed the nation’s security forces “to intensify the clampdown" on such facilities being operated illegally in many parts of southern Nigeria, a spokesperson said in a statement. Although Nigeria is Africa’s largest producer of crude oil, for many years its oil production capacity has been limited by a chronic challenge of oil storage and the operation of illegal refineries. Nigeria lost at least $3 billion worth of crude oil to theft between January 2021 and February 2022, with shady business operators often avoiding regulators by setting up refineries in remote areas such as the one that exploded in Imo, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) said in March.

Bigchristo:India is a Western puppet state getting too big for its boots. Like Ghana benefits from prejudice against Nigeria so India benefits from prejudice against the black world. Nigerians are smarter than Indians, Nigerians just haven't had the help India and Indians received from the Western world. Even African Americans are against Nigerians traveling to America but are quite happy at the preference White America has provided Indian immigration to America. |
These are bound to be individuals from other West African nations, ugly mentality people, that spend time in Nigeria and then when they go abroad they try to help demarket Nigeria instead of try to demarket all those racists foreign nations. Later they want to form Afrocentric. Idiots. |
All these people that go abroad and then make the effort to insult Nigeria, thire supposed birth place,cannot be Nigerians, Nigerians are not stupid. |
High school student Adewale Qoyum made his dream of owning a motorbike a reality after converting his own bicycle using a scrap generator engine. Using equipment and parts from his local workshop, the 16-year-old says it took him five months to build. He's now able to ride the automatic vehicle to school and has been inspired to take on even more ambitious projects in the future. See Vid Here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-61154448 |
topcatking:Critical thinking my ass, his tune would be different had the cable been routed to Ghana. Too many or these black consciousness people are hypocrites. Where did all the suspicion of surreptitious white intent go when twitter set up HQ in Ghana? |
skenkylomo1010:But was there not an outpouring of Niaraland and general social media support for the governor of Kaduna state when he advised military to no longer restrain from bombing villages occupied by terrorist for fear of incurring innocent casualties ? |
