BREAKING: APPEAL PANEL MEMBERS RESIGN IN ENOCH BURKE CASE Members of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel tasked with hearing teacher Enoch Burkeโ€™s appeal have resigned after shocking revelations came to light in High Court proceedings as to how the Appeal Hearing was conducted. Enoch Burke was dismissed from Wilsonโ€™s Hospital School after he refused to call a student by a new name and the โ€œtheyโ€ pronoun. He has since spent over 580 days in Mountjoy Prison. At the Appeal Hearing on 13 December 2025, Enoch Burke was subjected to an Appeal Panel that blocked cross-examination of witnesses from the school, privately solicited documentation from the school in advance of the hearing and abruptly ended the hearing without closing submissions and during the attempted cross-examination of Principal Niamh McShane. One panel member, Geraldine Oโ€™Brien, stated at the outset of the hearing: โ€œIf I were instructed by my Principal to call a child whatever, I have to implement that instruction, I donโ€™t make the instructionโ€. The Appeal Hearing took place over a single day on 13 December 2025 and concluded that evening. The result was expected within 10 school days of the hearing, as per Department of Education regulations. The High Court was informed by the Counsel for the school that the decision would be delivered by 9 January 2026. Enoch Burke raised serious concerns about the conduct of the Appeal Hearing and as a result, the Appeal Panel made a decision on 2 January 2026 to re-open the hearing. However, in a subsequent High Court affidavit, the Chairperson of the Appeal Panel Seรกn ร“ Longรกin swore on oath that the Appeal Panel had always intended to reconvene the hearing, and that the decision to re-open the hearing was in no way connected to the concerns Enoch Burke had raised. These were demonstrably false statements and were shown to be such by Enoch Burke. We believe that it is as a result of these lies, and other serious matters brought to light in these proceedings, that these resignations have been tendered.

VIDEO: How we used religion to give Tinubu victory โ€“ El-Rufai The former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that he and some northern governors used religion as a political tool to give victory to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election. According to the former governor, the decision to use religion as a political strategy was to help tackle the issue of tribalism and religion in politics in the country. The former governor stated this in a viral video. He was speaking to an audience in the Hausa language in Kaduna at an event before handing over to his successor. He said, โ€œAllah sees our heart, me and Zamfara State Governor, Mutawalle did it because of God and we didnโ€™t do it because of anything. We only do it in order to have solutions to the current religious problem we are having in Nigeria and for us to give South West Muslims a sense of belonging to rule. And it is because of religion that we used that gave Asiwaju victory.โ€ He also noted that the Muslim/Muslim ticket that he used to achieve political success in Kaduna has now been replicated in Nigeria with the emergence of Bola Tinubu as president and Kashim Shetima as vice president. He said, โ€œWhat we are able to achieve in Kaduna state now has been achieved in Nigeria as a whole. There is no liar that will come and say he will do politics as a Christian and win an election. Even Peter Obi didnโ€™t win.โ€ He stated that he alongside other northern governors successfully pushed for the emergence of a Yoruba Muslim from the South West as president despite opposition from some quarters El Rufai speaking in Hausa said in part, โ€œConcerning the Presidential government, what Professor Akintola said is true. We the Northern governors agreed that the presidential position should go back to the West. It was a verbal promise but a promise whether written or spoken, God knows. โ€œWhen we saw some people plotting for presidential position to remain in the North, we disagreed, we are not like that. We said we are Muslims and we have our traditions and we cannot go back on our words. That was the first step. The second step is after we all agreed or they realised that they cannot do anything, we will tackle the issue of tribalism and religion in politics in this country. We agreed that we will support BAT. โ€œWhen we had that agreement I was not on good terms with him, (Tinubu), we were fighting. But Professor Akintola and their leaders came from Lagos and said this is their thought If power is given to the West since we all agreed that it should be given to them the Yoruba people from the South-West have a problem, their Muslims cannot contest, and win an election. A Christian will have to contest and have a Muslim from the North as a vice. They said since from Abiola it had never happened. They said they wanted that and I asked them to bring the person we will support and BAT got the ticket. We knew he will have to take a Muslim as his vice.โ€ He added, โ€œWhat we are able to achieve in Kaduna state now has been achieved in Nigeria as a whole. There's no liar that will come and say he will do politics as a Christian and win the election. Even Peter Obi didn't win.โ€ Credit: Tafarkin Magabata TV --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

President Ahmad Al-Sharaa participates in a dialogue session at the Royal Institute of International Affairs โ€œChatham Houseโ€ in London, UK. ๐Ÿ“Œ The UK has contributed to supporting Syria and lifting sanctions on the Syrian people. Today, we held fruitful meetings that will further strengthen relations. ๐Ÿ“Œ Regarding internal affairs in Syria, we conducted a national dialogue that produced recommendations, as well as the constitutional declaration. We also held parliamentary elections, whose first session will begin next month. By the end of the transitional period, we will have paved the way for free elections in Syria. ๐Ÿ“Œ After the formation of the parliament, committees will be established to revise the constitution. ๐Ÿ“Œ The constitution defines the role of the head of state and the enforcement of law, rather than imposing new laws on the people. ๐Ÿ“Œ We held dialogues with the SDF; military confrontation was not our option. ๐Ÿ“Œ The Syrian state enjoys both societal and international legitimacy. ๐Ÿ“Œ SDF forces are now being integrated into the state in a proper manner. ๐Ÿ“Œ Our policy has been clear since entering Damascus, and we have been cautious in opening relations with Iran up to this moment. ๐Ÿ“Œ We advised adopting a negotiated approach in dealing with Iran, avoiding military options. ๐Ÿ“Œ Since our return to Damascus, weapons have been centralized under state control and the rule of law has been enforced; Syria cannot have armed factions and militias. ๐Ÿ“Œ The Syrian people need to establish stability and facilitate the return of refugees. ๐Ÿ“Œ Russian bases in Syria will be converted into training centers for the Syrian army. ๐Ÿ“Œ Israel has dealt with Syria negatively; we attempted to reach positive outcomes through dialogue, but everything changed at the last moment. ๐Ÿ“Œ I did not agree with the policies of al-Qaeda and did not share their convictions, so I did not continue with them. ๐Ÿ“Œ We adopt a different approach in Syria to avoid repeating the mistakes of past experiences. ๐Ÿ“Œ Syria stands in solidarity with Gaza, having suffered as the people of Gaza have. ๐Ÿ“Œ There are historical relations between Russia and Syria. Being in the White House one day and the Kremlin another shows the activity of Syrian diplomacy. ๐Ÿ“Œ We do not have official relations with Iran. ๐Ÿ“Œ We warn against the influence of random, uncoordinated policies on the scene and their negative effects on the region and Gulf countries. ๐Ÿ“Œ There are historical circumstances affecting the region, but from the very first moment, we sought to keep Syria away from regional tensions. ๐Ÿ“Œ We try to assess matters carefully to avoid being targeted and forced to respond. ๐Ÿ“Œ We have set standards to hold accountable those who committed crimes in Syria over the past 14 years. ๐Ÿ“Œ One of the priorities of Syrian policy is transitional justice, which requires institutional building and clear legal references so that everyone who committed crimes can be held accountable. ๐Ÿ“Œ Syria was isolated from the world in the past, and we have taken many measures to end this isolation. ๐Ÿ“Œ The return of Syrian refugees is linked to the reconstruction of Syria. ๐Ÿ“Œ We are part of those affected by the crimes of the previous regime. ๐Ÿ“Œ It is important that we have passed many critical stages, particularly the fall of the previous regime, which opened the way for refugees to return. ๐Ÿ“Œ We have taken a path in reconstruction through investment, turning Syria into an investment opportunity. ๐Ÿ“Œ European countries welcomed Syrian refugees, and this generosity should not end negatively. We hope the return will be voluntary for those who wish. ๐Ÿ“Œ Key elements include restoring national belonging, reconstruction, and providing job opportunities to encourage refugees to return. We have also proposed investment opportunities for returning refugees to transfer their diaspora experience to their homeland.

KADUNA UPDATE - "EL-RUFAI AND THE SOUTHERN KADUNA QUESTION: BREAKING THE ALTAR OF MANIPULATION" - By Hon. Abubakar MG, Political Scientist -Part 1 I decided to embark on this research after observing how everything in Nigeria today is reduced to politics, how people twist facts, manipulate emotions, and rewrite history just to destroy the reputation of others. Seeing how Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has been continuously attacked and unfairly blamed for the Southern Kaduna conflict, I chose to conduct a deep and independent investigation. I wanted to separate truth from propaganda. In the course of this research, I traveled to various communities in Southern Kaduna, sat with elders men who have seen decades of blood, bitterness, and failed peace efforts and I studied credible academic works including โ€œThe Crisis of Belonging and Ethnographies of Peacebuilding in Kaduna State, Nigeriaโ€ and โ€œCivil-Military Relations and Conflict Management in Nigeria: A Study of Southern Kaduna Conflict (2010โ€“2017).โ€ Through these studies and first hand engagements, I gathered a profound understanding of the origins, evolution, and manipulation of the Southern Kaduna conflict. My findings are clear, the crisis did not begin with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Its roots lie deep in historical tensions driven by indigene versus settler debates, competition over land between farming and pastoralist groups, and decades of government absence in enforcing justice and development. The conflict thrived because successive governments allowed local elites to exploit it either through weak law enforcement, political favoritism, or deliberate neglect of rural communities. The book โ€œThe Crisis of Belonging and Ethnographies of Peacebuilding in Kaduna Stateโ€ particularly highlights how colonial structures and post colonial identity politics deepened the indigene settler divide. Southern Kaduna became a battlefield not because its people were naturally violent, but because politics weaponized ethnicity and religion as tools for dominance. Meanwhile, โ€œCivil Military Relations and Conflict Management in Nigeria (2010โ€“2017)โ€ reveals how the crisis persisted due to inconsistent state responses weak law enforcement, poor intelligence coordination, and manipulation by politicians seeking sympathy or revenge. I must emphasize this with absolute clarity, El-Rufai inherited a region already bleeding from decades of failed leadership. When he assumed office, Southern Kaduna was a metaphor for chaos highways turned into death traps, farmlands deserted, schools destroyed, and markets crippled. Entire villages had been burned down, and the local economy was paralyzed. It was not governance, it was survival. Unlike his predecessors, El-Rufai did not approach the crisis with sentiment or selective empathy. He approached it with enforcement, policy, and a commitment to ending impunity. For the first time, a governor refused to pay so called โ€œcompensationโ€ or โ€œblood moneyโ€ to communities, knowing such practices only rewarded violence. Before his reforms, each crisis would end with payouts creating a perverse incentive for new rounds of bloodshed. El-Rufai said, โ€œNo more.โ€ That decision was not cruelty, it was governance. It was a rational, moral act a stand against institutionalized blackmail that had for decades fueled revenge attacks under the disguise of justice. My research revealed that what many called El-Rufaiโ€™s โ€œbiasโ€ was in fact the first true attempt at neutrality in Southern Kaduna. For the first time, a governor declared that no tribe, religion, or group had monopoly over victimhood or justice. Whether the culprit was a Fulani herder or a Christian farmer, justice had to prevail equally. Yet, this impartiality became his greatest sin in the eyes of those who had built their entire political survival on perpetual division.

[WATCH] THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT RESIGN. When it comes to the President, there is always a distinctive role between him being the President of the party and the state. There are many factors that influence the state in terms of governance and stability. If the President is called upon by some to resign and he keeps quiet it can throw the state into a state of turmoil. I want to make it clear that the officials agreed with the President on his approach, he took us into confidence and explained the factors that led him to make that particular pronouncement. We believe that the President did the right thing in pronouncing in the best interest of South Africa that he will not be resigning. There was nothing in terms of the judgment that warranted the President to resign it was just mere calls made by individuals and political parties that wanted to throw our country into a state of turmoil, uncertainty and anxiety. So it was imperative that he focus on that. It was correct for him to tell the country that from where he is standing there is nothing in the judgement that states he has done any wrongdoing and what he is going to do with the options in front of him and he has made this public. The President will take the Section 89 Report on review based on the outcome of the judgment and the legal advice he has received. There are no daggers out for the President to resign just opportunistic elements. These elements do not know what they want, they want to impeach and want him to resign, they do know what they actually want. The veracity of the report has not been tested in any committee so they donโ€™t have a basis for the President to resign.

Most important takeaway from Mohammad Bagher Ghalibafโ€™s interview with State TV, โ€œWe made progress in the Islamabad negotiations, but the gaps are wide and some fundamental points remain.โ€ MBG covered several topics in what could be described as a message before a turning point, tone was explanatory, less rhetorical, carried both political and strategic messages. Here are points I found interesting: ๐Ÿ“Œ It is clear that the enemy was defeated, but this is different from saying that we destroyed their army. When the enemy does not achieve its goals, it means it has been defeated ๐Ÿ“ŒThe enemy intended to bring counter-revolutionaries into the country from our western and eastern borders to create chaos inside, but it did not succeed and was defeated. ๐Ÿ“ŒAll the enemy's effort was to impose their demands on us, and it is important that we assert our rights; therefore, negotiation is a method of struggle here. ๐Ÿ“ŒSecuring the nation's rights must be our main goal, and rest assured that there will be no surrender in the diplomatic arena. ๐Ÿ“ŒI emphasize that we have always sought to normalize transit through the Strait of Hormuz and still do; if it has stopped now, it is because the ceasefire was not fully established in Lebanon. ๐Ÿ“ŒIf we were negotiating with the US at the time Trump said so, then why were there so many ultimatums? Why were they threatening to strike our infrastructure? ๐Ÿ“Œ We did not conduct any negotiations until 48 hours before the ceasefire. Trump is a master of lying and psychological warfare. Yesterday he posted 8 tweets, 7 of which were lies. ๐Ÿ“Œ Our negotiations began on Saturday when we arrived in Pakistan, and before that, only in the last 48 hours of the war leading to the ceasefire, messages were exchanged through Pakistan. ๐Ÿ“ŒOur approach was that our entry into the 10-point negotiation framework would be when the Lebanon ceasefire was established and Iran's frozen assets were released. ๐Ÿ“ŒBasically, our first meeting with Mr. Asim Munir as a mediator lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes in Islamabad, focusing on the Lebanon ceasefire. His first meeting with the Americans was also on this subject. From there, we saw their efforts to pursue the ceasefire begin, and they implemented the ceasefire incompletely. ๐Ÿ“ŒCurrently, we also have disagreements on several issues related to the nuclear matter and the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, the essence of negotiation is for understanding, but we have our principles. ๐Ÿ“ŒThe Zionist regime and America have constantly had a cycle of war - ceasefire - peace, and this cycle must be broken, and sustainable peace must be established with guarantees that war will not happen again. ๐Ÿ“ŒWe have reached conclusions on some issues, but not on others, and other proposals have been made; we are still far from a final discussion. ๐Ÿ“ŒWe insist on some issues which are non-negotiable for us, and their number is one or two, and the other side also has similar points. ๐Ÿ“ŒIn summary, we made progress in the Islamabad negotiations, but the gaps are wide and some fundamental points remain. ๐Ÿ“ŒWe have tried to follow the experiences of past periods and the distrust towards the U.S., and (in case of agreement) our policy will also be step-by-step action; it should not be that we fulfill our commitments but they do not; in case of agreement, we take one step and they must also take one step.

When you made that video saying โ€œwhat we have done in Kaduna would be replicated at national level and we would keep repeating it till it becomes the normโ€ you had a totally different idea compared to what Tinubu has done so far I can only imagine what you envisaged for us in the Middle Belt that arenโ€™t from Southern Kaduna (complete and total annihilation I suppose) Your cry now isnโ€™t a cry for justice, your cry is because you have been frozen out by this administration and your cry is a cry because your anticipation of jihad fashioned in that jangerweed/pro Arewa fashion being led by you particularly didnโ€™t come to pass You had also envisaged that your role in this administration would be sort of your stepping stone that would lead you to the presidency But let me repeat to you here on this day that you will never get close to that seat Do you think after all what you did in Southern Kaduna, the rest of us would be that dumb as to let a fanatic like you get there? you must be dreaming Better go and complete your PhD in Arabic studies and go back and solve the banditry in your home state Katsina and let us be You have already done enough to destroy this country, your divisive comments about Boko Haram being sponsored by CAN and Goodluck Jonathan, split the country along religious lines in 2015 and would not be forgotten You knew it was false, yet you still put it out to deceive gullible people from your region for your narrow selfish and political interests Fanning the ethno-religious flames in Southern Kaduna and repeatedly alleging even without proof that Fulani were killed in Southern Kaduna when you knew it would lead to attacks on Southern Kaduna people (and even when the former Commissioner of Police warned you against it, you still went ahead to put out that statement - because you wanted the people of Southern Kaduna attacked so you could tag it as reprisals You have become so irrelevant that you have joined your kids peers on twitter arguing, retweeting and laughing awkwardly at posts here Your political career is dead so better get used to influencing and collecting small Elon musk change We welcome you to the world of social media influencing Mr โ€œI paid killers to stop killing in Southern Kadunaโ€

#SundayMusing - THE POLITICAL STRATEGY OF DEMONISING NASIR EL-RUFAI - by: Dr Uche Diala - Part 1 Many people are sitting down and allowing some vested interests to be gaslighting them against a man, Nasir El-Rufai, whose only sin is to be intelligently and intellectually gifted by God, to be conscious of it and using it without fear, favor or pandering to advance the cause of society including theirs. Some of my brethren from Southern Kaduna, with all due respect and appreciation of their documented long standing issues and dynamics, are buying and swallowing, hook, line and sinker, the narratives from their new found lovers that El-Rufai is demonic and evil, without pondering over their fate over history and time, even long before Nasir El-Rufai appeared on the scene, and placing them side by side to determine factually and objectively, how truly worse or better El-Rufai was for their cause and fate. I do not want to mention some of my APC brethren to whom El-Rufai has suddenly transformed from hero to villain, simply because he told us some hard truths about our party; truths which most of us know and some have equally voiced out. Tragically, some say, not unexpectedly, some of my brethren from the South East, many of whom have never crossed River Niger to the North, have already jumped in the fray and joined in the bandwagon of 'he hates Igbos and Christians' 'El-Rufai is evil', etc., much the same way they did to Buhari, without any sensible proof and without pondering over the motive of those orchestrating and feeding them such narrative. No lesson having been learnt. For a man whose watch word as Minister for FCT was excellence. Or did anyone hear that he favored any particular tribe or religion while he went about restoring the Abuja masterplan as its Minister? I have been in the FCT and I know firsthand. Put your ears to the ground, beyond the hype and the noise and hear stories about today. A man who as Governor of the cosmopolitan Kaduna state engaged Nigerians - Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, Christian and Muslim and men and women alike, so long as they could add value to his governance of the state. Including many of those joining betrayers and ungrateful elements to castigate him today. I was not one of them, but I can't in good conscience pretend that I did not know. A man who inspite of his limitations as chief security officer of the state on paper, understood that security was paramount to delivering his mandate for the people who elected him and who God temporarily placed him in authority over. He was tough on every part, North and South alike, when need was. For him, criminality was criminality, no matter who orchestrated it. That is not to say that he was a saint or made no mistakes, but he who is a saint among us and of no sin, should cast the first stone. Compare and contrast your own state and state Governor with Mallam Nasir El-Rufaiโ€™s Kaduna state and El-Rufai as a Governor. Unfortunately, the increasing tragedy of our politics today, is that it blurs the lines between common sense and nonsense, truth and lies, friends and frenemies and reality and illusions; making heroes out of villains and vice versa, making many to defend who and what they like and not what is right, and making people to embrace those they should sensibly avoid like a plague and to hate those they should ordinarily love and vice versa.

#PostOfficeScandal This morning on Sky News hosted by Gareth Barlow he was joined for an exclusive from Mark Kleinman Wish Alan all the best and glad after so many years he has been able to settle his claim with the Government, the process has been a complete disgrace, the battles painstaking but finally some justice prevails. Without the JFSA led by Sir Alan, there would have been no High Court action and we would not be seeing the vindication we are seeing today, slowly justice being delivered and those so badly affected, rightly compensated (ongoing mess) and we await those responsible to be held to account. Post Office hero Bates lands seven-figure Horizon Payoutโ€ผ๏ธ Sky News has learnt that the government has agreed a deal with the former sub-postmaster after handing him what he described as a "take it or leave it" offer during the spring. Sir Alan has previously said publicly that that proposal amounted to 49.2% of his original claim. One source suggested that his final settlement may have been worth between ยฃ4m and ยฃ5m, implying that Sir Alan's claim could have been in the region of ยฃ10m, although those figures could not be corroborated on Tuesday morning. A government spokesperson said: "We pay tribute to Sir Alan Bates for his long record of campaigning on behalf of victims and have now paid out over ยฃ1.2bn to more than 9,000 victims. Sky News has attempted to reach Sir Alan for comment about the settlement of his claim. Sir Alan led efforts over many years to prove that the Horizon software system supplied by Fujitsu, the Japanese technology company, was faulty. Hundreds of sub-postmasters were wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2015, with scores of people either ending their own lives or making attempts to do so. However, it was only after ITV turned their fight for justice into a drama, Mr Bates vs The Post Office, that the government accelerated plans to deliver redress to victims. Even so, the compensation scheme set up to administer redress has been mired in controversy. Writing in The Sunday Times in May, Sir Alan described the process as "quasi-kangaroo courts in which the Department for Business and Trade sits in judgement of the claims and alters the goalposts as and when it chooses". "Claims are, and have been, knocked back on the basis that legally you would not be able to make them, or that the parameters of the scheme do not extend to certain items." Sir Alan had previously been made compensation offers worth just one-sixth of his claim - which he had labelled "derisory", with a second offer amounting to a third of the sum he was seeking. Sir Ross Cranston, a former High Court judge, adjudicates on cases where a claimant disputes a compensation offer from the government and then objects to the results of a review by an independent panel. In 2017, Sir Alan and a group of 555 sub-postmasters sued the Post Office in the High Court, ultimately winning a ยฃ58m settlement. However, swingeing legal fees left the group with just ยฃ12m of that sum, prompting ministers to establish a separate compensation scheme amid a growing outcry. A significant number of other sub-postmasters have also complained publicly about the pace, and outcome, of the compensation process. The first volume of Sir Wyn Williams's public inquiry into the Horizon scandal was published in July, and concluded that at least 13 people may have taken their own lives after being accused of wrongdoing, even though the Post Office and Fujitsu knew the Horizon system was flawed. The miscarriage of justice left the Post Office's reputation, and that of former bosses including chief executive Paula Vennells, in tatters. A subsequent corporate governance mess under the last government further dragged the Post Office's name through the mud, with the then chief executive, Nick Read, accused of being absorbed by his own remuneration.

The scandal that puts Canadians in multigenerational debt: The Gordie Howe International Bridge project that will connect Detroit to Windsor was pitched as a billion dollar project in 2012 by the Harper government. The trouble is that the cost is now estimated to be around $7 billion dollars. However, studies suggest toll revenue will never be enough to recoup the cost, and with interest payments the bridge will likely require decades of taxpayer subsidies that could amount to $52 billion dollars. Here are the facts: ๐Ÿ“Œ There is an already existing bridge in the area called the Ambassador bridge which offered to build a second span for free. ๐Ÿ“Œ American government is not paying a dime for the project, and Canada is paying for all costs including the custom compound and the highway interchange on U.S. soil. ๐Ÿ“Œ In 2010 the government manufactured the DRIC report to justify the new bridge, it had gross miscalculations and inaccuracies in projecting the cross border traffic to increase over decades to come. ๐Ÿ“Œ Empirical data shows that cross border traffic has overall declined more than 50% in the area for last 2 decades, and thereโ€™s no reason for it to rebound. ๐Ÿ“Œ Studies demonstrate that even if the traffic stopped declining, and Gordie Howe were to charge 3 times more in toll than the ambassador bridge next door, and drivers were to prefer to chose paying more for some reason, taxpayers would still have to subsidize the bridge for at least 6 decades. ๐Ÿ“Œ The procurement process was shady as transparency and fairness letters were issued 1 day before the awarding. ๐Ÿ“Œ AECON dropped out of the bidding process the last business day, and then was allowed back in to join the winning consortium for reasons unknown. ๐Ÿ“Œ The construction giants that bid against each other in this project are actively working together on other multi billion dollar P3 projects across Canada while bidding against each other in other projects. ๐Ÿ“Œ Amarjeet Sohi was the infrastructure minister at the time whose brotherโ€™s trucking company that he did not disclose was already doing business with VINCI in the federally funded Regina bypass project. Navdeep Bains blocked AECONโ€™s sale to China, and Sohi allowed AECON to join back into this dream project for some reason. Bains was also giving sole sourced contracts to Sohiโ€™s brotherโ€™s trucking company. ๐Ÿ“Œ WDBA says they expect to finish off paying the bridge in 30 years by collecting toll revenue, and then start splitting the revenues with the state of Michigan. But given that toll revenue alone will not even be enough to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars in annual interest, the Michigan taxpayers might be asked to pay for the bridge to make up for the shortfalls in toll revenue. ๐Ÿ“Œ Canadian politicians both liberal and conservative have put Canadians in multigenerational debt by actively participating with nefarious construction giants. ๐Ÿ“Œ Allegations of bid-rigging are worrisome as corrupt companies like SNC-Lavalin participated in the bidding while they were under a 10-year ban by the World Bank for committing corruption in the poorest countries of the world. ๐Ÿ“ŒACS which the project was awarded to also have a history of corruption around the world. ๐Ÿ“Œ VINCI which partnered up with SNC on the GHIB project was already working with Sohiโ€™s brotherโ€™s trucking company on the Regina bypass project. This is how an unnecessary bridge that was pitched as a billion dollar project ended up costing $7 billion dollars, and will require tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to make up for the shortfall in toll revenue. Only Amarjert Sohi and his nefarious nexus Including domestic and foreign construction giants will benefit at the cost of Canadian and U.S. taxpayers. I asked a legal scholar whoโ€™s considered to be the leading authority on extradition law if these Canadian politicians could be extradited to U.S. Check out the comment section to watch my full report.

๐Ÿ”ด How can lobbyists spend more than two hours discussing the human rights situation in Iran and still save the regime? An analysis of the (Green) Heinrich Bรถll Foundation panel from 2016 First, a note about the participants: - Hadi Ghaemi served on the board of NIAC (the regime's lobby group) for many years and later founded the NGO โ€œCenter for Human Rights in Iran.โ€ As leaks of his communications with Trita Parsi from that time show, Ghaemiโ€™s explicit goal was to establish an NGO that did not advocate for the overthrow of the regime. The fact that Ghaemi was a member of NIAC is being kept under wraps. - Omid Nouripour (a Green Party politician) has had ties to NIAC-members for years. The linked post shows how he has helped stabilize the regime for many years. - Ziba Mir-Hosseini is advocating for womenโ€™s rights and gender equality within Islam. - The moderator and initiator of the panel is Ali Fathollah-Nejad (CMEG). He, too, has a long history of ties to NIAC members. His entire political work is based on preserving the regime through, for example, pro-JCPOA and anti-sanctions stances. About the panel: 1. The entire panel does not even once question the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic itself. Everyone is engaged in an intellectual discussion about how to bring about small improvements within the regime. They all accept that it isnโ€™t working, that execution rates are rising, and that change would take a long time. The idea of ending the regime to improve the human rights situation in Iran isnโ€™t even a conceivable option in this panel. 2. In the introduction, Fathollah-Nejad claims that the era of regime change is over and that a new era is beginning. He also claims that the suffering of the Iranian people is only partly due to the regime and partly due to "imperial pressure". 3. Ghaemi founded a regime-affiliated NGO to present the regimeโ€™s narrative to the West under the guise of a human rights organization. According to Ghaemi, everyone in the civilian population supports the JCPOA and opposes military intervention by the U.S. and Israel. Of course, this did not reflect the actual will of the people in Iran. It was the selective narrative that the regime-affiliated NGO presented to the West to advance its own interests. 4. As for the opposition, the only person mentioned by the entire panel is Narges Mohammadi, who is the face of the regimeโ€™s reformist wing. She, too, does not represent the end of the Islamic Republic. 5. The panelists are all pro-JCPOA. Nouripour claims that the money from the JCPOA is rightfully the regime's money and lists the positive things the regime is doing with it (boosting the economy, creating jobs). This โ€œon the one hand, on the other handโ€ narrative is, first of all, untrue: the money did not benefit the people. And it downplays the downsides of the JCPOA: funding for terrorist proxies and more money for repression. Nouripour mentions it, but treats it as if it were on equal footing. 6. According to Ghaemi, 80% of the executions is โ€œmerelyโ€ due to drug-related cases. Even if that were true - which it certainly was not - it would not serve as a justification. According to Ghaemi, no pressure from within or without can put an end to the executions. 7. Mir-Hosseini claims that Ahmadinejad ultimately became a supporter of women's rights. 8. Fathollah-Nejad claims that there is a danger that โ€œauthoritarian stabilityโ€ could emerge in Iran. They speak of the future in this context. This is meant to convey that the Islamic Republic had not yet been that at the time. Judging by the human rights crimes that took place under the regime up until 2016, this is a statement that whitewashes the regime. 9. The panelists are against sanctions. 10. Ghaemi, in particular, repeats the false narrative that there are reformists and hardliners within the regime. This illusion of an opposition within the system has prolonged the life of the Islamic Republic by decades. As I listen to this panel, three things become clear to me: - Every one of the panelists wants the Islamic Republic to survive, either because of their Muslim background or because they are part of the NIAC ecosystem. - All four panelists are aware of the regimeโ€™s human rights abuses. But they justify and downplay them. - And finally, this image comes to mind: The panelists strike me as people (in fireproof suits) in a burning house who - instead of leaving the house or calling the fire department - take two glasses and repeatedly pour a few drops of water from one glass into the other. They claim that the fire is indeed hot, but that they are doing something about it and that the situation will surely change soon. Meanwhile, all the children in the house have already died in the fire.

I donโ€™t know how I missed this, itโ€™s like there is something many Nigerians donโ€™t know about this project to bring down Queen at all cost You even stayed awake till 12 midnight to respond to a post of many hours earlier by an APC SW urchin and is it a coincidence this campaign is driven largely by a faction of APC Nigeria and aides to the political appointees of T-Pain in various federal government agencies? But letโ€™s even for the sake of this conversation agree without conceding โ€œthe water don pass garri for this matterโ€ which can mean several things, will that stop her from breathing again and living a normal life? There is no amount of โ€œactivismโ€ crusade or overdrive on this issue that will wish away the fact that the judicial system in Nigeria has gained notoriety as arguably the worst and highly corrupt in the world There are plethora of criminal cases cases against junior and senior lawyers, against judges/justices in Nigeria that any attempt at โ€œbullyingโ€ or blackmailing an opposition voice against the T-Pain regime will fail spectacularly - Is it not in Nigeria that a judge was dismissed from the bench over corruption allegations and later reinstated by the National Judicial Council ? - is it not in Nigeria a former Nigerian Bar Association was arraigned for corruption? - is it not in Nigeria that an elected Governor was dubiously sacked 24 hrs to his inauguration by the SC? - is it not in Nigeria that Kekere Ekun and his SC refused to adjudicate in the unconstitutional removal of an elected Governor, deputy Governor and elected State Legislature by T-Pain for 6 months? I have put together a compendium of very damning claims against the judiciary by a retired supreme court justice, a very very senior lawyer, the spouse of the retired appeal court president and a recent case involving Mike Ozekhome SAN alleged attempt at capturing the property of late JT Useni in UK So what exactly is this your crusade about? This post is without prejudice to the character of some very decent Nigerians in the bar and bench because we still have few patriotic Nigerians in the legal profession but the judicial ecosystem in Nigeria stinks
