  1. Same Shit, Different Hat: A Timeless Fashion Statement in Political Extremism by Lawson Akhigbe

    Ah, the internet has done it again. While the rest of us are busy arguing over pineapple on pizza or whether socks with sandals constitute a war crime, some genius has distilled centuries of ideological garbage into one glorious, four-panel roast. Behold the meme that slaps you harder than your uncle at Thanksgiving: "Same Shit, Different Hat."

  5. Exploring Transnational Justice Examples

    Corruption cases often exemplify transnational justice because illicit funds flow globally via banks, real estate, and shell companies, enabling foreign courts to assert jurisdiction based on territorial links (e.g., money laundering in their financial systems).

  16. The Curious Case of the Missing Shepherds by Lawson Akhigbe

    There is a peculiar habit that appears with remarkable frequency in American and British political commentary. Whenever an issue is said to concern black communities, a familiar chorus emerges from television studios, newspaper columns and social media platforms.

  21. Who Voted for Lord Denning? – When the Street Cross-Examined the Bench by Lawson Akhigbe

    The slogan gained prominence in the aftermath of the Birmingham pub bombings and the subsequent conviction of six Irish men the now infamous Birmingham Six. Their case quickly became a lightning rod for allegations of coerced confessions, police misconduct, and a justice system more interested in closure than correctness.

  24. The US administration's push to formalize a
    $100,000± H-1B visa fee bypasses federal
    court rulings, signaling an illiberal shift away
    from democratic checks and balances.
    Claiming to "protect American workers" is a facade: no domestic wages are raised, while tech innovation, healthcare, and higher
    education are crippled simply to evade the
    rule of law and consolidate executive power.

  25. When Laws Become Optional: Suspicious Deaths, Colonial Legacies, and the Dignity Deficit in Nigeria by Lawson Akhigbe

    The difference between the United Kingdom and Nigeria is not primarily in the letter of the law. It is in the general application and consistent enforcement of that law. This divergence reveals a deeper reality about how the Nigerian state relates to its citizens.

  26. The Decentralized Rifle: Can Nigeria Survive State Policing? By Lawson Akhigbe

    We are told this is the silver bullet for our security paralysis. But as Nigeria stands on the precipice of altering Section 9 and dismantling Item 45 of the Exclusive Legislative List, we must ask: Are we solving a modern security crisis, or are we reawakening old ghosts that once broke the back of our democracy?

  27. 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.

  28. The Nigerian Police Force: A Colonial Machine That Never Changed by Lawson Akhigbe

    To understand the modern Nigerian Police Force, one must first understand its origins. The uncomfortable truth is that the institution was never created to protect ordinary Nigerians. It was established to protect the interests of those who ruled Nigeria, first the British colonial administration and later the Nigerian political elite that inherited the colonial state.

  30. RE: masto.ai/@Nonilex/116880975629

    It bears repeating that federal agents are not allowed to kill people for attempting to evade arrest. Or for evading arrest. Or for being an undocumented immigrant. Or for being Mexican. Or for being a man. Or for being.
