Why is immunity important?
Who needs it?
And do the pros outweigh the cons?

Before the imperialists interrupted traditional systems of govt, Kings reigned supreme & were next only to God.

Interruptions were not only done by imperialists, kingdoms invaded & dominated other kingdoms leading to wars, displacements, slavery
#TheDiscuss
#WednesdayThoughts
For Nigeria, the British Indirect Rule preserved traditional institutions but watered down their powers extensively, making them 'figure heads'.

The current reality is that an Oba, Kabiyesi, Obong, Sultan, Olu or Emir is entitled to ONE VOTE
#TheDiscuss
#WednesdayMotivation
What then is responsible for the reactions to the removal of Emir Sanusi II?
His personality?
Our emotional attachments to traditional institutions?
Our true desire for right over wrong?
The perception of corruption on the Chief Antagonist, 'Dollar-Man'?

Welcome to #TheDiscuss

The outcry against plans by @NigeriaGov @MBuhari to borrow in order to finance infrastructure underlines the need for citizens' engagement on national issues

If the request is granted by the lenders, we could keep servicing our Chinese loans till 2040
Interestingly, over a quarter of Nigeria’s N10.59 trillion 2020 budget (N2.7 trillion), goes into debt servicing, exceeding N2.4 trillion appropriated for capital expenditure

Meanwhile, Nigeria's total debt is $108bn, even though 15% of the debts are owed by state govts
nairametrics.com/2020/03/07/lcc…
What do the these numbers mean?
What impact do loans like this have on the wellbeing of citizens?
Are there alternatives to these unending debts?

Happy International Human Rights Day!

Please join @policylink @NatlJobsForAll @thepublicmoney & over 500 leaders and orgs in the fight for the universal human right to a good job and #jobsforall:  jobguaranteenow.org
Folks including myself have spilled a lot of ink explaining how the #JobGuarantee would end involuntary employment, stengthen worker power, and generally gain us more democratic control over the labor system and society.
It's crucial to remember that this about the quality of jobs as well as the quantity.

No one should have to work a poorly paid job for the same corporate overlords who consistently prey on our families, communities, and democracy.

#president @KRLS: "Rey o República no era un debate hasta que Felipe VI entro en política. En Europa hay muchas monarquías que entienden su rol, básicamente callar en política porque nadie les ha votado. No es el caso de España".

Entrevista a @WRadioColombia (Hilo 👇)
#president @KRLS: "El català es una lengua hablada por 10 millones de personas pero no se puede hablar en el @Europarl_EN . Soy crítico con las instituciones europeas porque quiero una Europa mucho mas democrática"
#president @KRLS: "Quiero una EU que alce la voz cuando uno de sus estados miembros, como España, viola los derechos fundamentales. Hay muchos ciudadanos europeos que sienten decepción al ver que solo priman los intereses económicos y no los derechos fundamentales"

1/ I would like to start a DIALOGUE on #SexSlavery #Trafficking in the USA!

Please join me in discussing & dealing with this issue!

In light of Florida’s #Trafficking sting …
2/ It is a serious issue (that I have made fun of myself).

#Sex #trafficking accounted for 6,081 of more than 8,500 reported cases of trafficking in the United States in 2017, according to statistics from the National Human Trafficking Hotline.

humantraffickinghotline.org/states
3/

The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, which is a part of the multi-agency crackdown, said 100s of people will end up facing charges, with dozens arrested so far.

The Florida sex trafficking sting resulted in nearly 50 arrests and 200 warrants & more are coming!
