 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

 Igboho Rejects Pressure to Endorse Atiku, Obi, or Sowore for 2027 Presidency


Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has firmly rejected any pressure to endorse the 2027 presidential ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party's Peter Obi, or activist-politician Omoyele Sowore.


Igboho's declaration came in response to criticisms from Sowore, who in a viral video accused certain regional agitators and influencers, including Igboho, of engaging in "transactional politics" by aligning with political figures for personal or material gains. Sowore specifically labeled Igboho's approach as "amala politics," a term implying opportunistic, benefit-driven dealings, and linked it to Igboho's apparent support for President Bola Tinubu's potential reelection bid.


In a statement issued through his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, in Ibadan, Oyo State, Igboho dismissed Sowore's remarks as an "inconsequential rant" that the public should ignore. He strongly denied accusations of transactional activism, insisting that his efforts center on advocating for effective grassroots security in the South-West region and across Nigeria.


The statement read in part: "We strongly reject the characterisation of Igboho’s activism as transactional. Such a myopic position misrepresents the intent and focus of our agitation on effective grassroots security in the South-West and Nigeria as a whole."


Igboho questioned Sowore's own credentials, asking how many protests the activist had organized to secure his freedom during past challenges, and contrasted it with reports of Sowore's alleged high daily lodging expenses of N450,000 at a Lagos hotel, which he said undermined claims of fighting for the masses.


Reaffirming his autonomy, Igboho emphasized: "I cannot be compelled to endorse political figures such as Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, or even align with Sowore’s political platform. I have the right to make independent political decisions based on the security and collective interests of the Yoruba people."
