The American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) has called on the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to demand the immediate unconditional release of the Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, from detention. Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been in detention for four years. AVID particularly asked the United Kingdom government to act decisively in defense of Kanu, being its citizen whose fundamental rights have been flagrantly violated. In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, the American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent pleaded with the international media to hold the Nigerian government accountable for enabling ethnic cleansing while suppressing dissent. Apparently reacting to the continued killings in Benue State and some parts of the country, the group claimed that Kanu’s continued detention is the green light for more massacres and pleaded that the world must not stay silent in the matter....

Chris Smith, the Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, has criticized Tinubu’s $9 million contract with a Washington lobbying firm, saying it reflects the “culture of denial” that Nigeria is known for. Recall that after Donald Trump labeled Nigeria a “country of particular concern” and reportedly threatened strong action, the U.S. subsequently sent delegates led by Congressman Riley Moore to Nigeria for intelligence gathering. After that visit, Tinubu approved $9 million belonging to Nigerians — money that could have been used to address some of the problems we are facing. That same $9 million could have helped rebuild IDP camps that are constantly being attacked by terrorists and even gone as far as providing homes and shelter for displaced people. Instead, the money was paid to a U.S. lobbying firm, allegedly to whitewash the government’s shortcomings in the country. This is why you no longer hear much about the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. This...

The attack, which unfolded Tuesday at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence, is described by officials as one of the deadliest mass casualty events in modern Canadian history. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that the shooter, identified as 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar, who also went by “Jesse Strang,” died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald later stated on Wednesday that the initial count of 10 victims, announced by police on Tue...

(Photo by SAUL LOEB / AFP via Getty Images) Elon Musk has signaled a high-stakes return to Republican fundraising ahead of the 2026 midterms. Following a short political pause in mid-2025, recent FEC filings and insider reports indicate that the tech billionaire has already contributed an estimated $30 million to GOP causes. This financial surge, aimed at securing House and Senate majorities, seemingly exemplifies an end to his public rift with the party and solidifies his position as a primary engine for the Republican campaign machine. Musk’s year-end spending surge included $20 million in combined contributions to the GOP’s top congressional vehicles. By the close of December 2025, he had funneled $10 million each into the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund, signaling a strategic pivot toward protecting Republican majo...

  For decades, the Biafran people have faced constant attacks, killings, and systemic corruption at the hands of the Nigerian government. The daily injustices and ongoing genocide cannot continue in silence.” We cannot rely solely on being loud online or waiting for “someone” to fix this. It’s time to act lawfully, strategically, and internationally. Our next step is clear: go before the United Nations and seek a treaty-based territorial settlement. Through observer status and proper international channels, Biafrans can pursue self-determination and justice through law, not violence or delay. Nigeria’s corruption and lawlessness should not prevent the Biafran people from achieving freedom and safety. International law exists to protect populations facing ongoing genocide and oppression, and it is time for Biafrans to use it to secure a lawful, lasting solution.” We are calling on all Biafrans to stand informed, organized, and ready. This is about securing justice and a future where...
