Twenty Years Late and Several Republics Short: On EJ, Atiku and Nigeria’s Habit of Reheating Cold Corruption by Lawson Akhigbe
In 1999, Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar rode into Aso Rock together, a presidential double act that Nigerians assumed would age like most political marriages: quietly, then not at all. They survived one term. They won a second in 2003. Then, somewhere in that second term, Obasanjo discovered a constitutional itch that the 1999 Constitution's two term, eight year ceiling on the presidency simply would not scratch. He wanted a third term. Atiku, nursing a presidential ambition of his own and possessed of the inconvenient habit of reading the Constitution literally, said so publicly. The friendship ended there. -

I help Americans with #genealogy research to obtain 2nd #citizenship
Many Americans with #European #ancestry and *nearly all* with #African ancestry (#ECOWAS) are either entitled to apply for citizenships, or already have that citizenship, even if they're unaware (e.g. Italian, Canadian)
Many (e.g. Croatia, Italy, Canada or several African countries) only require one ancestor unlimited generations back.
I offer a free consultation.

No Victor, No Vanquished? Gowon’s Memoir Reopens Biafra’s Bloody Ledger by MARCEL MBAMALU
His new memoir, “My Life of Duty and Allegiance”, points a finger from the grave of history at Chukwuemeka Ojukwu — accusing the dead Biafran leader of lying about Aburi, arming the East for war, and dragging Nigeria into bloodshed. Ojukwu, buried since 2011, cannot answer. -
Reform UK’s Brexit immigration impact
Reform UK’s perspective on Brexit and immigration is central to its identity: Brexit was meant to deliver control over borders and lower overall migration, but post-2016 (especially post-2021) governments primarily Conservative, failed to use that control effectively, leading to a non-EU migration surge that the party labels the “Boriswave.” Reform argues this undermined the Brexit promise, strained public services, housing, wages, and cultural cohesion, and necessitates far tougher policies.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/28/reform-uks-brexit-immigration-impact/

Reform UK and others – Immigration Policy Compared
Reform UK’s immigration policies stand out as the most restrictive among major UK parties, emphasizing a sharp reduction in both legal and illegal migration, prioritisation of British citizens, and radical enforcement measures. They position immigration as a core driver of housing shortages, NHS strain, wage suppression, cultural change, and public service overload.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/28/reform-uk-and-others-immigration-policy-compared/

EDITORIAL: Osun election, the rise of civic action, and 2027 by PREMIUM TIMES
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State was re-elected for a second term in the 15 August governorship contest. It was an off-cycle election like no other before it, in the build-up, with its eerie elements of tension, violence and resultant deaths. -
Born Free, Housed First: Reform UK and the Return of the Birth Certificate as Political Document by Lawson Akhigbe
Reform UK has now taken that quiet administrative habit and turned it into an actual policy platform, delivered at a press conference rather than buried in a PDF. Deputy leader Richard Tice has confirmed the party will prioritise British-born workers under 35 for social housing, alongside military veterans and married couples with children, should Reform enter government. The pitch comes wrapped in an infrastructure promise, 50,000 affordable homes a year, financed, the party insists, without new taxes or borrowing, which is the political equivalent of promising a birthday cake that requires no oven, no flour and no birthday. -

Trump Signs Executive Orders Ending Birth Tourism And Protecting The Value Of American Citizenship
Following the unfortunate decision made the by Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) regarding birthright citizenship, US President Donald J. Trump signed two new Executive Orders to formally end birth tourism while also protecting the meaning and value of American citizenship.
To put things in perspective, posted below is the News24 (formerly Sky News Australia) video covering the Oval Office. Watch it and pay close attention to the details.
https://youtu.be/YC3PrTABmic?si=qLGS_xhbDUE99gcD&t=239
In America, birth tourism is already a huge problem that has yet to be full resolved. If it is left unchecked, it will negatively impact and even deform democracy in the US. That said, President Trump signed the Executive Order ending birth tourism. To understand it fully, posted below is the entire content of the said Executive Order sourced from the White House website. Some parts in boldface…
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. United States citizenship is among the greatest inheritances the Nation can bestow. It embodies a sacred bond between the American people and the Nation in which they live, and carries profound rights, privileges, and responsibilities reflective of the enduring allegiance of citizens to the United States and our Constitution. Citizenship is not a commodity to be acquired through calculated exploitation and evasion of the immigration laws, such as by entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth within the Nation’s borders.
Birth tourism operators use deceptive advertisements and inducements to entice foreign nationals to travel to the United States for the purpose of giving birth on American soil. They promise citizenship; access to public benefits; and short-term stays in specialized facilities, hotels, or rentals, but often fail to deliver on these promises. These operators coach their clients to misrepresent the purpose and duration of their travel to consular and border officials to obtain visas authorizing entry into the United States. Failure to appropriately combat these schemes has resulted in thriving industries around the world that profit by enabling the evasion of American immigration laws to obtain citizenship and other immigration benefits for foreign visitors, and the exploitation of the women who travel here for purposes of giving birth.
The immigration laws of the United States establish discrete categories of temporary nonimmigrant visas to allow foreign visitors into the United States for study, exchange, temporary employment, tourism, and other transitory activities that are now exploited by birth tourism operators. Participants in birth tourism schemes abuse these categories to establish a permanent foothold in the United States by securing the advantage of citizenship for their children and then potentially for themselves.
Birth tourism, defined in section 3 of this order, undermines the integrity of the Nation’s immigration system by enabling foreign nationals to exploit their temporary admission to obtain permanent immigration-related benefits. Birth tourism also diverts limited consular inspection and enforcement resources away from legitimate visa applicants, erodes public confidence in the faithful enforcement of the immigration laws, and impairs the executive branch’s ability to protect the national security.
The United States has a compelling interest in ensuring that each visa category is used only for the purpose for which it was established. Foreign nationals seeking temporary admission into the United States must adhere to the purposes for which the Congress has authorized their temporary admission, and cannot be permitted to circumvent the immigration laws in an attempt to vest themselves and their children with lasting benefits that are irreconcilable with their nonimmigrant status.
It is therefore the policy of the United States to promote the integrity of its immigration system, to ensure that nonimmigrant visa classifications are used only for their lawful and intended purposes, and to prevent the exploitation of those classifications by persons engaging in birth tourism.
Sec. 2. Authorities. Pursuant to section 301 of title 3, United States Code, the authority granted to the President under section 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1185(a), is hereby delegated to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to the extent necessary to implement this order, including the authority to issue or adopt rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance to carry out this order.
Sec. 3. Definition. For purposes of this order, “birth tourism” is defined as:
(a) the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil; or
(b) any effort by any foreign national to facilitate the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil.
Sec. 4. Scope and Implementation. (a) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions and update any rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance as necessary to effectuate the policy set forth in this order. Such actions may include, within the Secretaries’ respective discretion and authority, appropriate action to prevent the entry into the United States of, or the granting of any visa or other travel authorization to, any alien entering or attempting to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; revoking the visa or travel authorization and permanently barring entry of any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; denial of entry to, or removal of, any alien who previously engaged or plans to engage in birth tourism; or other appropriate action against entities, organizations, or individuals, within or outside of the United States, responsible for facilitating or enabling birth tourism in any manner.
(b) All other relevant executive departments and agencies shall provide such records and information as are necessary for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement the terms of this order and the rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance issued pursuant to it, subject to applicable law.
Sec. 5. Exemptions. Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this order, the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security may exempt a foreign national from actions taken pursuant to this order on humanitarian grounds or when the foreign national’s entry is in the national interest, as determined by the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
(d) If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstances, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of any of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
(e) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.
DONALD J. TRUMP
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the two new Executive Orders signed by Trump will effectively end birth tourism while protecting the value of American citizenship? What kind of responses do you think the Democrats will come up with to oppose the Executive Orders. Do you think Islamist states like Iran, Pakistan, Qatar and Bangladesh are deliberately sending their citizens to America with birth tourism in mind? Did you spot any Chinese nationals engaging in birth tourism in America lately?

Accountability Is Not a Presidential Favour by Lawson Akhigbe
The response by the President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Cardinal John Onaiyekan's television interview reveals a troubling misunderstanding of constitutional democracy.

"The Weaponization of Belonging
The fundamental lesson from the #history of #Jewish #citizenship in #America is that #legal categories are neither self-evident nor self-executing. They are #political instruments, subject to intense scrutiny and sudden revision during periods of national anxiety.
As the #SupremeCourt prepares to issue its ruling in 2026, the historical record serves as a stark warning. When a government asserts the authority to define who is and is not a #citizen based on parental origin, it invariably opens the door to the systemic #disenfranchisement of #minority populations. The debate over #birthright citizenship is not merely a legal technicality; it is a battle over the soul of the nation and the fundamental definition of human belonging."

Citizen of the Republic of Venice
What did it mean to be a citizen of the Republic of Venice?
The answer to that question very much depended on what lot you drew in the great lottery of birth.
The conditions of birth were all-important for what a person could be and do in life.

1/2 #Analysis | Israel’s Two Key Goals of Hamas War Are Set to Collide
The #IDF’s desire to further harm #Hamas may contradict the effort to secure a deal for the #hostages. IDF General Staff believe if the fighting ends in two weeks, it will not be possible to meet the goals of the war. At the same time, signs of widespread #damage to Hamas' #command are increasing
There is inbuilt tension, which is only intensifying, between the two key objectives of the war in the #Gaza Strip. #Israel wishes to strip #Hamas of its organizational and military #capabilities, but at the same time wants to create the conditions for releasing the civilians and soldiers held captive by Hamas. The IDF claims that it can achieve both goals, and that the more time it has to increase the military pressure on Hamas, the better the chances that Hamas will show some flexibility in #negotiations over the release of hostages.
Given that, the army’s general staff realizes that time is now a critical element. There are growing reservations in the West about the large number of deaths of #Palestinian #civilians in the IDF’s ground offensive, with increasing American pressure on Israel to limit operations in the northern Gaza Strip soon, in a matter of weeks.
So far, the ground offensive has been conducted at a relatively slow pace, in an attempt to minimize risks to IDF forces. Now that regimental battle teams are operating in the heart of #GazaCity and around central Hamas #headquarters, there is an attempt to maximize military a#chievements before the IDF is required to stop.
The debate is not just about the timing of setting a limit on the ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip, but about the possibility of a temporary #ceasefire allowing a release of #hostages.
At the other end of the spectrum of positions within the defense establishment is the person responsible for captives and missing persons, Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon. He is in charge of a new center, established at the beginning of the war. #Alon is the most senior person there (and not the earlier-appointed Maj. Gen. (res.) Gal #Hirsch, who has been removed from any operational role). Alon attends all the war #cabinet meetings. Under him are thousands of intelligence and operations personnel from the IDF and other agencies, focusing exclusively on the efforts to bring the hostages home. The key person in charge of these negotiations, working in coordination with Alon and answering to the prime minister, is #Mossad chief David #Barnea.
Soon, the two main efforts could collide. Politicians may have to decide how to proceed, while the army worries that it will be stopped, for the sake of a deal, and then find it harder to resume the attacks at the level of force required to hit Hamas. The veteran security affairs analyst David #Ignatius reported in the #Washington Post on Saturday that a hostage deal was taking shape with the mediation of #Qatar. This will involve the release of over 100 people, including #Thai workers, tourists, #Israelis with dual #citizenship, as well as #women and #children, in exchange for a similar number of #Palestinian #women and #minors who are imprisoned in Israel for security offenses.
Ignatius said that negotiations are stuck for now since Israel is demanding that Hamas first release the hostages it holds. A further complication stems from the fact that some of the hostages are held by other organizations, including Islamic# Jihad and a #militia called the #Shabiha, a previously unknown group. Qatari sources told Ignatius that efforts to locate all the hostages would take at least three days. The Qataris presented a specious Hamas argument according to which its members kidnapped only IDF soldiers, with the rest abducted by thousands of Gazan residents who entered #communities along the border.
According to the Washington Post story, Qatar is having difficulties communicating with senior Hamas officials in order to advance the deal. At the beginning of the war, there were indirect talks with Hamas leaders living outside Gaza, most of them in Qatar. However, Israeli bombing disrupted cellphone reception in the Gaza Strip. Whereas previously, every proposal was answered within two to three hours, at present, this can take up to 48 hours.

1/2 #Analysis | Israel’s Two Key Goals of Hamas War Are Set to Collide
The #IDF’s desire to further harm #Hamas may contradict the effort to secure a deal for the #hostages. IDF General Staff believe if the fighting ends in two weeks, it will not be possible to meet the goals of the war. At the same time, signs of widespread #damage to Hamas' #command are increasing
There is inbuilt tension, which is only intensifying, between the two key objectives of the war in the #Gaza Strip. #Israel wishes to strip #Hamas of its organizational and military #capabilities, but at the same time wants to create the conditions for releasing the civilians and soldiers held captive by Hamas. The IDF claims that it can achieve both goals, and that the more time it has to increase the military pressure on Hamas, the better the chances that Hamas will show some flexibility in #negotiations over the release of hostages.
Given that, the army’s general staff realizes that time is now a critical element. There are growing reservations in the West about the large number of deaths of #Palestinian #civilians in the IDF’s ground offensive, with increasing American pressure on Israel to limit operations in the northern Gaza Strip soon, in a matter of weeks.
So far, the ground offensive has been conducted at a relatively slow pace, in an attempt to minimize risks to IDF forces. Now that regimental battle teams are operating in the heart of #GazaCity and around central Hamas #headquarters, there is an attempt to maximize military a#chievements before the IDF is required to stop.
The debate is not just about the timing of setting a limit on the ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip, but about the possibility of a temporary #ceasefire allowing a release of #hostages.
At the other end of the spectrum of positions within the defense establishment is the person responsible for captives and missing persons, Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon. He is in charge of a new center, established at the beginning of the war. #Alon is the most senior person there (and not the earlier-appointed Maj. Gen. (res.) Gal #Hirsch, who has been removed from any operational role). Alon attends all the war #cabinet meetings. Under him are thousands of intelligence and operations personnel from the IDF and other agencies, focusing exclusively on the efforts to bring the hostages home. The key person in charge of these negotiations, working in coordination with Alon and answering to the prime minister, is #Mossad chief David #Barnea.
Soon, the two main efforts could collide. Politicians may have to decide how to proceed, while the army worries that it will be stopped, for the sake of a deal, and then find it harder to resume the attacks at the level of force required to hit Hamas. The veteran security affairs analyst David #Ignatius reported in the #Washington Post on Saturday that a hostage deal was taking shape with the mediation of #Qatar. This will involve the release of over 100 people, including #Thai workers, tourists, #Israelis with dual #citizenship, as well as #women and #children, in exchange for a similar number of #Palestinian #women and #minors who are imprisoned in Israel for security offenses.
Ignatius said that negotiations are stuck for now since Israel is demanding that Hamas first release the hostages it holds. A further complication stems from the fact that some of the hostages are held by other organizations, including Islamic# Jihad and a #militia called the #Shabiha, a previously unknown group. Qatari sources told Ignatius that efforts to locate all the hostages would take at least three days.
