The People Did Vote for Mass Immigration – Through Parliament by Lawson Akhigbe
One of the most persistent slogans of Britain’s political far right is the claim that “the people did not vote for mass immigration.” It is a phrase repeated endlessly in television studios, social media posts, and political rallies. It sounds persuasive. It sounds democratic. It is also fundamentally wrong. -
Navigating the Void: Why Nigeria Needs a Corporate Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) Framework
In a standard DPA regime, a company that self-reports and cooperates can avoid the "corporate death penalty" of a criminal conviction. In Nigeria, we are currently forced to rely on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015. While the ACJA provides for Plea Bargaining, it is a fundamentally different animal from a DPA: -
BEAN TO BRAND, TARIFF TO TRAP by Lawson Akhigbe
Next in Abuja, four governments will do something that sounds, on paper, like a belated act of economic self-respect. Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon between them the source of roughly two-thirds of the cocoa that becomes the world's chocolate will sign the Abuja Declaration and stand up a Cocoa Value Addition Alliance, a coordinated attempt to stop shipping out raw beans and start capturing some of the value that currently accrues, almost entirely, to everyone else. Nigeria will additionally sign its own Cocoa Value Addition Accord, a domestic compact roping in governors, farmer groups, financiers and researchers into the project of turning bean into brand rather than bean into someone else's bar.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/07/17/bean-to-brand-tariff-to-trap-by-lawson-akhigbe/

Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.
From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
April 16, 2026.Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.
Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.
In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.
Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.
University of Victoria – [Lecture Theatre HSD A240]
Tickets: $20

Homelessness in the U.S. has reached record highs, fueled by affordable housing "shortages" and economic inequality. What policy reforms are needed to tackle these issues to provide stable housing for all?

When will we realize short-term economic gains come at a long-term cost? Subsidies favor big agri while water scarcity and biodiversity decline grow unchecked. How do we realign policies to protect both ecosystems and communities? 🌱💰 #PolicyReform #AgeOfExtinction

@drrimmer I completely agree with Mike Freelander—it's truly appalling that the government would prioritise briefing lobbyists over its own caucus on such an important issue. The influence of the gambling industry on policy is a major concern, and it seems Labor is indeed being "softened up." The public deserves strong and decisive action against gambling ads, particularly on TV and social media, where they can have a harmful impact, especially on vulnerable communities. It’s high time the government put people’s well-being ahead of industry interests.#GamblingAds #PolicyReform #PublicHealth #StopTheSpin #PeopleOverProfits #AusPol
