Gold smuggling out of Africa, mainly to the United Arab Emirates, has surged over the last decade, with hundreds of tonnes of gold worth tens of billions of dollars illegally leaving the continent every year, according to a report published on Thursday.

Analysis by Swissaid, an organisation that focuses on development aid and advocacy, found that a total of 435 tonnes of gold, mostly mined by small-scale miners and worth more than US$30 billion, was smuggled out of Africa in 2022.

Swissaid said the UAE was the main destination for Africa’s smuggled gold and took in 405 tonnes in 2022. Over the previous decade, UAE accepted more than 2,500 tonnes of smuggled gold with a total value of over US$115 billion, the organisation said.

It's governors complaining, not the FG.

A fire destroyed a building that housed a church in Rumuosi yesterday, leaving residents in shock. Instead of calling the fire service, two women stood outside praying intensely for the fire to stop.

The women, who were seen with their hands raised and their faces soaked in tears, are believed to be members of the church. They continue to pray and chant, hoping for a miraculous intervention to save their place of worship.

Some admire the women's faith, while others believe practical action was needed alongside prayers. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

SMH.... Instead of pushing for Bills to create State Police and kick off regional administration, these imbeciles are earning millions pushing meaningless bills.


This is how 4 years will end without a single meaningful law passed in this 3rd world nation.
