 Fighting for Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom denied me many benefits – Reps member, Aguocha The member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal constituency in the National Assembly, Obi Aguocha has said that he is losing a lot of things because of his continued demand for the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Aguocha also said that many Igbo leaders were avoiding talking about Nnamdi Kanu and other challenges facing the Igbo people in Nigeria. He said that his consistent demand for the release of Kanu and many other people in that gap, has resulted in his being profiled in a negative perspective. The Reps member, who said that he has the sole mandate of the IPOB leader to negotiate his release, said such approval spoke loud about the confidence Kanu has in him. “I know what I have lost as a member of the House of Representatives for speaking up for Nnamdi Kanu and other constitutional issues, the positions I have taken. “I know what I am losing now because they have marked me, ‘okay he is a...

 UN passes resolution naming slave trade ‘gravest crime against humanity’


A ⁠United Nations resolution, proposed by Ghana, to recognise transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations, has been adopted despite pushback from Europe and the United States.


At a UN General Assembly (UNGA) vote on Wednesday, 123 countries supported the resolution, which ⁠is not legally binding but carries political weight, while three opposed it, including the US and Israel, and 52 abstained, including the United Kingdom and European Union countries.


Ghana said the resolution ⁠was needed because the consequences of slavery, which saw at least 12.5 million Africans abducted and sold between the 15th and 19th centuries, persist today, including racial disparities.


Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama, a key architect of the resolution, said the resolution’s passing was “a route to healing and reparative justice”.


“The adoption of this resolution serves as a safeguard against forgetting … Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.”


Ghana’s foreign minister, Samuel Ablakwa, said the resolution called for accountability and could pave the way for a “reparative ‌framework”.


“History ‌does not disappear when ignored, truth does not weaken when delayed, crime does not rot … and justice does not expire with time,” Ablakwa said.


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UNGA that “far bolder action” was required from more states to confront historical injustices.


The Netherlands remains the only European country to have issued a formal apology for its role in slavery.


The resolution has come after the African ⁠Union last year set out to create a “unified vision” among its 55 ⁠member states about what reparations for slavery may look like.


It urges member states to engage in dialogue on reparations, including issuing formal apologies, returning stolen artefacts, providing financial compensation, and ensuring guarantees of non-repetition.
