Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WAR, WE WERE GIVEN £20,BUT TODAY, ANAMBRA HAS HIGHEST BILLIONAIRE YET THEY ARE NOT IN GOVERNMENT- TONNIE OGANAH. (PHOTO).


 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
