Dear Nigerians,
Disenfranchisement is a deliberate tool of @inecnigeria in previous elections. It was intentionally deployed to rig 2023 election before and during the election
We may cry about it but as the Commission have used it successfully, it will continue, unless
Everyone watched the video where a man make bold the claim that ποΈ licking weirdo did not even attend Chicago State University?
The man who made the claim said he even lectured at Chicago State University and was the director of the program βthe master strategistβ claimed to have attended.
That was loud and bold
So π€ licking weirdo slept in Akwa Ibom Stateπ€
@PeterObi is what again ππΏ
Last night, in my teams meeting, I took a deep dive into the Home Secretary's proposal to extend the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) from five to ten years, subject to limited exceptions.
The more I examined the proposal, the more questions I found myself asking.
First, the issue of legitimate expectations and the changing terms of the immigration pathway.
Many of the visa routes affected are employment-based and what we term commercial visas.
People enter the UK under a framework that sets out the conditions of their stay and provides a recognised pathway to settlement.
In doing so, they make significant commitments. They pay visa fees, accept sponsored employment, relocate their families, invest in accommodation and build their lives around the immigration framework in place at the time. Most of these conditions are below reasonableness or what should be widely regarded as fair.
It is therefore reasonable to argue that the five-year ILR pathway formed a significant part of the basis upon which many people made these life-changing decisions.
Yet, halfway through that journey, the Government is proposing to change the qualifying period to ten years.
The problem is not simply that immigration policy can change. Governments must retain the ability to review and amend policies.
The real issue is changing the terms for people who have already entered the system and made substantial commitments in reliance on the previous framework.
Even more concerning is the absence of any meaningful assurance that future governments will not move the goalposts again.
We are effectively being told that the immigration rules in force at the time an individual applies for ILR will determine their eligibility, rather than the rules that existed when they entered the UK.
What guarantee, then, does anyone have that today's ten-year pathway will not become fifteen years under a future government?
Where do we draw the line ?
Lack of certainty is not what UK is known for
Second, the apparent exclusion of prison officers from the public-service transitional arrangements.
This is another aspect of the proposal that I find particularly difficult to understand.
During the parliamentary exchanges, the Home Secretary, Ms Mahmood, was challenged over the exclusion of prison officers from the occupational categories receiving transitional protection.
Her explanation appeared to rest on the categories recognised by the Migration Advisory Committee, particularly workers on national pay scales in health and education.
But this raises an obvious question for me:
Why should prison officers be treated differently?
Prison officers are public servants. They work in an essential arm of the justice system, protect the public, maintain security, manage offenders and contribute to rehabilitation.
Their work is not peripheral to public safety or the functioning of the state.
Why, then, should their contribution be excluded from the same consideration afforded to other public-service occupations?
Are we suggesting that the public-service contribution of a prison officer is somehow less deserving of recognition?
Third, the wider question of fairness and legal certainty.
There is something fundamentally troubling about a system in which people can comply fully with the immigration conditions imposed upon them, only for the Government to change the settlement destination whilst they are already on the journey.
The argument for fairness, consistency, proportionality and respect for legitimate expectations is not adequately addressed I am afraid.
If the Government believes that extending the qualifying period is necessary, it must also explain why people who entered the UK under the previous framework should automatically bear the consequences of that decision.
And if certain public-service occupations deserve transitional protection, the criteria for deciding who qualifies must be transparent, rational and consistently applied.
I am particularly interested in the exclusion of prison officers and the wider implications of allowing successive governments to alter settlement requirements retrospectively in practical effect.
This is not an argument against the UK's sovereign right to control immigration and the Home Secretary statutory responsibility nor is it an argument that immigration rules should never change.
Something here deserves much closer scrutiny.
The question is no longer simply whether the Government can change immigration rules. It is whether it can do so without adequate regard to the people whose lives, families and futures have already been organised around the rules it previously established.
Sadly the point that those who are here will continue to stay does not address certainty adequately.
Good morning and God bless. Have a wonderful Sunday Everyone π
Load of nonsense.
I wonβt explain
I know you don't like the truth, so I won't bother explaining it to you. I'll just put it out there for everyone else.
90% of Enugu indigenes who want to travel to London probably live in Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja. Another 5% live in other states outside these three, but not in Enugu. Most of them would rather fly from Lagos to London than travel to Enugu first just to catch an international flight.
And even if they attempt to operate the route, they would probably need to run just one flight a week to get enough passengers to fill the aircraft.
From a commercial standpoint, it makes absolutely zero business sense.
I grew up learning that Governance is in continum and that after one Governor tenure gets to an end, the next person take over to govern in his own way.
In Nigeria, some young people believe that a person who got into governance converted the state into his private property for him and his familyβs inheritance is preferred in comparison to the person who govern the State and left without keeping anything for himself.
I understand that everyone has a price but is your action worth the price π€
This is a complete lie and a hatchet job.
There is no ongoing investigation about Panama Papers and/or Pandora Papers.
Premium times posted this with @PeterObiβs name because of traffic and indirectly telling @officialABAT and his gang of 40 thieves that this is something to use on PO
I can bet on it
PANAMA PAPERS, PANDORA PAPERS: FIVE YEARS LATER, PROBES BEGIN
Five years after the Pandora Papers exposed alleged undeclared offshore interests linked to Nigerian public officials, the Code of Conduct Bureau says investigations involving seven individuals have commenced.
Those assigned to case officers include former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, former Senate Presidents Bukola Saraki and David Mark, former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah, and three other individuals.
The investigations follow years of questions about the status of cases arising from PREMIUM TIMESβ reporting on the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers.

True.
Anything else π

I was planing to visit PO at the hospital where he was receiving treatment according to APC propaganda
How did he end up in Calabar π€
Dear Obidients,
It is time to officially inform you that there is no ticket feared by @officialABAT and his gang of 40 thieves more than @PeterObi/@KwankwasoRM ticket.
As a matter of fact, someone close to Wike said that this is his biggest nightmare.
Going by the declared result of 2023, no candidate made the biggest gain as it relates to the electorate more than @PeterObi
Someone in Akpabio camp said with the gain that PO made in the North, if he gets SE, some part of SS and some part of middle belt, he is home and dry.
Which is why APC is investing heavily on rigging the election.
Stop majoring on minor and focus on big picture.
As in any election, people will switch sides but is your gain bigger to counter those who left?
The response to the above question is all you need to move on and work for your candidate
There is no politician in the South as popular as PO and there is also no politician in the North as popular as RMK
Good morning and have a wonderful day
No, Trump was a bad President and the worse thing to have happened to USA
The earlier most of you who supported him acknowledges it, the better
I always thought I have seen or heard the most stupid folks on earth until I met APC and Ronus.
Men, those guys including those βintellectualsβ amongst them is the bottom of the bottom.
I just hope that in our lifetime, that young Nigerian will outlive the inflection of APC and Ronus especially as it relates to olodo grandstanding
God forbid
Fun facts
Dim took refuge in the palace of our king whenever he wishes to board his flight from Amorka early in the morning or he arrives Amorka late at night. He hardly stayed over night at Ojukwu Bonker in Amorka.
Legend has it that it was on his way from Amorka to our village that he discovered Oha leaf for Oha soup
