Sen. Shehu Sani has revealed that your country is where you belong. We either make it better or continue to face it, in response to Western countries tightening entry restrictions for Africans looking to ‘japa’.
He said Canada has ended its ten year automatic visa to Nigerians and other nationals. Many countries in the west are tightening their entry gates against Africans who want to immigrate, relocate, study or work.
The far right are on the rise. They don’t do that to the Saudis, Qataris,Koreans, Chinese or the Japanese. The message is clear; Your country is where you belong. We make it better or we continue to face this systemic r£jection and institutionalised h¥miliation.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has condemned alleged extortions by some officers of the force in some areas within the country, and has ordered “severe” punishment for corrupt officers.
He referenced the case involving officers of the Zone 16 Zonal Headquarters, Yenegoa, identified as ASP Emmanuel Ubong, Inspector Nse Okon, Inspector Adiewere Collins, and Inspector Kuromare Marine. The officers were accused of extorting the sum of ₦10m from a group of young Nigerians.
In a statement signed by the Force’s Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumiyiwa Adejobi on Friday, the police said the money has been recovered through the efforts of the new Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 16. Adejobi also said the officers have since been detained and subjected to orderly room trial.
The statement added, “The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of IGP Egbetokun, maintains a zero-tolerance policy for any act of corruption and police misconduct, as the Force takes every allegation of extortion and ab¥se of power extremely seriously.
The IGP has however reassured the general public that the force will continue to investigate all allegations levelled against erring officers of the Force thoroughly. In pursuit of restorative justice, the Inspector-General of Police has mandated severe consequences for any officer, no matter how highly ranked, found culpable, acting as a deterrent to those who may seek to compromise the integrity of the Force.
Adejobi also said that the IGP has also scheduled a workshop for police officers on child care and effective investigation. Similarly, to guarantee that officers within the Force receive adequate training in child care and protection and effective investigations considerate of vulnerable individuals, most especially children in conflict with the law, the IGP has rescheduled the workshop with all Heads of Police investigative units to take place on Monday, November 11, 2024.
“The workshop will not only focus on enhancing technical capabilities but also emphasise the essential ethical principles when dealing with sensitive cases in order to have a child-friendly police system in Nigeria.

Babatunde Fashola, former Minister of Power, Works and Housing, has asked Nigerian youths to stay back in the country rather than seeking green pasture abroad amid the economic hardship.
Fashola, who said youths must be able to do something better for themselves, noted that an end must be put to the mass exodus of the country.
The two-term Lagos governor spoke on Saturday at the combined 8th and 9th convocation ceremonies of the Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ondo state. Fashola, who admitted that things were tough in Nigeria, advised young people in the country to push their way through to get into a place of decision-making. “Why did Mrs Folorunso Alakija not run away? Why did Chief Tunde Afolabi who have contributed to Nigeria not run away ? Why are they still here? Times were equally tough in their younger days that propelled the popular musician Dr Victor Olaiya’s song Ilu le o, ko s’owo l’ode…. (sics) in the 60s.
“The youths have become leaders in the Nigerian household, and therefore, they must embrace that responsibility. Do leaders also run away when it is difficult? There were tough times when Chief Ade-Ojo was at the University of Nigeria (UNN), but Ade-Ojo didn’t leave. If he had left, there would be no Elizade University.” he said.
