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.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/09/11/the-curious-case-of-the-missing-shepherds-by-lawson-akhigbe/

The Cane, the Conference, and the Curious Case of Self-Sabotage by Lawson Akhigbe
Behold the main character of British politics in 2026: a white, elderly gentleman, clearly leaning on a sturdy wooden cane for support, accredited badge swinging proudly from his neck at the Reform UK conference. Mouth open in mid-roar, eyes locked in righteous fury, he has somehow decided that the greatest threat to civilisation in that moment is a young woman holding a handbag. The crowd of fellow pensioners and patriots looks on with varying degrees of encouragement. Somewhere in the background, the usual sea of white hair and earnest lanyards nods along -
The Safe Place for Bigotry and Crime by Lawson Akhigbe
It has no postcode. It does not appear on Google Maps. There are no street signs pointing towards it. Yet, whenever one of its inhabitants is caught saying something outrageous or doing something politically or legally questionable, suddenly we are told that the offending words or conduct belonged there.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/09/05/the-safe-place-for-bigotry-and-crime-by-lawson-akhigbe/

The Moths to the Flame: Why Do Populist Movements Always Attract Such “Enterprising” Characters? By Lawson Akhigbe
There is an eternal, almost Newtonian law of modern politics: wherever a politician loudly proclaims they are "standing up for the forgotten working man," you will inevitably find a discreet corner table in a private Mayfair club where someone is eagerly trying to launder foreign money. -
“Far from ensuring the separation of powers, the Court has used #standing to undermine the principle: According to the #Constitution, #Congress has the power to make laws, but the Court’s standing decisions have freed the executive branch (and other entities) from having to comply with them.”
It is maddening to realize that we have so many laws and rights that can’t be enforced or respected.

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. -
"The Supreme Court has just granted Trump the right to litigate. And the ruling is downright infuriating. This is what you need to know about the legal doctrine known as jurisdiction."

When the Living Governor’s Pen Meets the Dead Monarch’s Signature: Nigeria’s Land Use Act Versus Britain’s 1925 Registration Revolution by Lawson Akhigbe
In 1925, while Britain was still recovering from one war and quietly preparing for the next, its legislators decided that land law had become an expensive medieval farce. The result was a cluster of statutes, most notably the Land Registration Act 1925, working in tandem with the Law of Property Act 1925, that performed a quiet but decisive act of administrative hygiene. They did not nationalise the soil. They did not turn every landowner into a tenant of the state. They simply made the register the master of the title, and the process of dealing with land a matter of bureaucracy rather than political favour or ancestral archaeology. -
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/

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. -
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: -

Dopo le proteste del 2025, le autorità iraniane hanno intensificato le restrizioni contro gli avvocati indipendenti. Con oltre 50.000 arresti stimati, molti detenuti sono stati privati dell’accesso a una difesa legale effettiva. Un nuovo rapporto denuncia il controllo della difesa come strumento di repressione politica in Iran.

USCIS Makes Major Change Compelling Aliens To Return Home For Proper Processing Of The Adjustment Of Statuses
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formally announced a major change that will compel aliens seeking the adjustment of status to return to their respective countries and go through the consular processing via the Department of State. The change marks the USCIS’ return to the law’s original intent to ensure that aliens navigate America’s immigration system properly.
To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the USCIS’ official announcement. Some parts in boldface…
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a new policy memo reiterating the fact that, consistent with long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions, aliens seeking adjustment of status must do so through consular processing via the Department of State outside of the country.
Officers are directed to consider all relevant factors and information on a case-by-case basis when determining whether an alien warrants this extraordinary form of relief.
“We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency,” said USCIS Spokesman Zach Kahler.
“Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process. Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the State Department at U.S. consular offices abroad and frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under its purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications, and other priorities. The law was written this way for a reason, and despite the fact that it has been ignored for years, following it will help make our system fairer and more efficient.”
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? If you are an American citizen, do you agree with the USCIS’ change of policy and processes with regards to aliens who are already present in the United States while seeking to adjust their respective statuses? Do you think this latest change will somehow bring down the number of illegal immigrants/aliens present in America? Do you think it makes sense for aliens in America to go back home to their respective countries to apply for change of status at the U.S. consular?

"Právo je pro lidi nesrozumintelné. Ombudsman kritizuje stát za chaos" -- "často vytváří situace, v nichž se občan v právním systému ztrácí. Dávno tak podle něj už nemůže platit, že neznalost zákonů neomlouvá." -- "diskriminace starých lidí je nejčastějším způsobem diskriminace u nás" -- "největší úspěch v roli ombudsmana, je to posílení role veřejného ochránce práv jako lidskoprávní instituce. 'Podařilo se mi snad přispět k pochopení, že lidská a občanské práva jsou skutečně pro všechny, a nikoliv jen pro ty, kteří se jich hlasitě domáhají. Snad přispět i k tomu, že rozdělování občanů na menšiny k ničemu dobrému nepovede a že potřebujeme nejen rozmanitost" -- " úřad veřejného ochránce práv dokáže účinně korigovat chyby státní správy. „V 97 procentech případů, ve kterých jsme upozornili úřady na jejich chybné jednání, tak svá nesprávná rozhodnutí napravily." -- "největší neúspěch naopak označil nedostatečnou součinnost některých institucí. Zejména tam, kde byla zjištění úřadu politicky či institucionálně nepohodlná"

The murderer of #ReneeGood will never face justice.
Never.
This is the reality of America under a wannabe Mussolini.
The loony right will scream #qualifiedimmunity”. They’re wrong, but that’s not the biggest problem.
The real—and terrifying, and infuriating—obstacle is that the DoJ is turning a blind eye to fascist violence on our streets as a matter of policy.
What Red Don apocryphally said about getting away with murder in the middle of Fifth Ave now extends to the entire Federal government. Every ICE thug. Every corrupt executive branch ass-licker. And by extension, every billionaire.
One day this country might return to cherishing and protecting the #ruleoflaw. But today isn’t that day.
