 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana. Homeland Security initially declined the case because the amount did not meet the federal threshold, a...

 Immediately After The War, We Were Given £20,But Today, Anambra has Highest Billionaire yet they are not in government- Tonnie Oganah


Political commentator Tonnie Oganah has reflected on the resilience and economic success of the Igbo people, noting the dramatic transformation from post-war hardship to prosperity.


Speaking during an interview on TVC News, Oganah recalled that after the Nigerian Civil War ended in 1970, Igbos were given only £20 each, regardless of the amount they had in their bank accounts before the conflict.


“Remember that immediately after the war, we were given only £20, but today what do you have?. Do you know the state that has the highest number of billionaires in Nigeria?, let me tell you, Anambra State, and they are not even in government,” 


He pointed to Anambra State as a testament to this resilience, describing it as the Nigerian state with the highest concentration of billionaires, many of whom built their fortunes through commerce, industry and innovation.


The £20 policy, implemented by the federal government at the time, was widely criticized for its devastating economic impact on the Igbo population who had already suffered massive losses during the war. It left many without capital to rebuild their lives and businesses.


Oganah highlighted that despite this setback, the Igbo entrepreneurial spirit has propelled individuals and communities to remarkable success over the decades. 


Oganah’s remarks serve as both a reminder of the injustices faced by the Igbos after the war and a celebration of their determination to overcome adversity. For him, the story of Anambra’s billionaires is proof that a people’s resilience can turn historical loss into enduring economic strength
