This is most appreciated @NYCMayor
The Government of Ghana welcomes your intervention and President Trump’s timely decision.
We have always known we can count on our own Kwame Mamdani.
I spoke with the mother of Javits Frimpong yesterday and assigned officials of Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist her with the visa application process.
Madam Doris Adu Gyamfi’s pain as a loving mother is unimaginable and indeed everything must be done to ensure she is present to pay her respects.
The Mahama Administration will take care of the full cost of Madam Adu Gyamfi’s travels and also stands ready to contribute towards a dignifying funeral.
We resolve to continue to work together in securing justice for Javits.
The murder of a child is a pain no parent should have to endure, let alone from thousands of miles away.
Javits Frimpong’s mother deserves to say goodbye to her son in person. I just got off the phone with President Trump and he has agreed to grant her visa immediately.
All of New York City is mourning this tragedy.

I have met Meghan Sussex. I met her this year, at an event we were both at. She is not at all like the media, and her haters, portray her to be. They have spent years dehumanising her, and creating a whole caricature of a person that doesn't exist.
There were many people at the event we were at. Meghan asked her staff (we found out via organisers later) to ensure she had time to meet us all personally, one on one.
She asked each of us our names and we all had the time to have a conversation with her, about anything we chose to discuss.
My teenage daughter had drawn a picture of Guy, so we discussed my daughter, my family. I also told her of the wonderful support that she had from people of all walks of life. She had greeted me with a warm hug but after our discussion, as I went to walk away, she grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.
She was at the event to do a Q&A. We were all able to submit a question for her to answer. The questions varied from her business plans, to her kids, to Harry, friendships, the media, how she copes with the constant criticism and hate.
She answered all questions.
We learnt a lot about Archie and Lili that I haven't seen in the public sphere so wont repeat. We learnt just how strong her marriage is. They are still smitten ( Harry was also present although he didnt speak. He was there to support Meghan)
She spoke on how she deals with the constant hate and criticism. On how sad she is that the media has turned her into a caricature that isn't her at all. A caricature that isn't a version of her that any who know her recognise. She expressed sadness that people who don't know her believe this is who she is, but has resigned herself to the fact that people will believe what they choose to believe and there is nothing that she can do to change it. So she is determined to stay true to herself and live her life as authentically as she can.
I, as a RN/midwife and former mental health nurse, am a pretty good judge of character. We are trained to look for signs and red flags. There was nothing fake about Meghan. She was warm. Genuinely warm. She was extremely funny, something that I didnt know about her before. She glowed, literally. She had an aura about her that made it easy to see why so many in her real life are drawn to her, and perhaps why so many feel threatened, and she is extremely intelligent.
She didn't speak on the royal family at all. I'm certain those in the room wouldn't have asked her to.
There were people in attendance that were not Meghan supporters. I spoke to a few who went just to hear what she had to say. All came away extremely impressed.
So, they can blame her, hate her, judge her but, I know how she made me feel and how she treated me. So I will always support her, and defend her unapologetically.
I am so glad that my favourite Prince found her.
❤️

No 15-yr old child should have to run for their life. Saw a clip of Javits Frimpong running before his killers shot him & my heart is completely shattered thinking how scared he must have been in his last moments. Incredibly sad for his parents who wanted to give him a good life

Peter Obi will not stop at the airport to address you people, talk about how there is no electricity at the airport, and then jet back to Abuja within ten minutes of addressing you.
Do you see how he is visiting all the states in Nigeria? This is a sign of a committed leader who holds the interests of Nigerians to heart and will not turn the UK and France into his second home.
Remember when Tinubu visited Jos following the deadly attacks in Plateau State? He met community representatives near the airport and reportedly told them, “You have no light here, I'll fly out in ten minutes.”
Nigerians, the ball is in your court.
Will you join the boat of prosperity and fight for your country's freedom from the hands of politicians who don't think you're worth their time, or will you fold your hands and endure more years of bad leadership under the APC?

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV makes history as the first pope ever to vote in a U.S. election.
The Vatican confirms the first American-born pope, Robert Francis Prevost, has submitted a mail-in ballot in his home state of Illinois ahead of the November midterms, exercising his right to vote as a U.S. citizen.
The Chicago-born pontiff continues to maintain his American citizenship while leading the Catholic Church. | @marthamaccallum @AmericaNewsroom

So we spent N15 trillion (with a T) for a shortcut from Ibeju-Lekki to VI?
Do you guys know what N15 trillion (with a T) is
That’s more than Tomy Elumelu and Otedola’s wealth put together for a shortcut from Ibeju Lekki to VI
Not going to lie!
The Coastal Road is a lifesaver for most of us that Lekki Road has thrown us into depression with heavy traffic!
For the past 4 days I had a shoot at Ibeju Lekki and I just linked up with the Coastal Road from VI, and a journey that normally takes 2–3–4 hours depending on the Devilish traffic takes me 30-40minutes Max! Straight road! 0 traffic!
That’s one of the few positive things about this Government! Nonsense!

Today, we officially signed a landmark partnership agreement with Sterling Bank!
Sterling Bank is committing ₦60 million in prizes for the 2027 South East Mathematics & Science Olympiad.
In addition, the bank is committing ₦24 million to our National Mathematics Quiz, where outstanding students will receive ₦1 million in prizes every month.
But it gets even better!
Our star students will now have access to internship opportunities at Sterling Bank, while winners of the South East Mathematics & Science Olympiad will receive an additional one-year scholarship.
What a bank! What a commitment to the future of Nigerian children!
We will continue to double down on our efforts to build the greatest workforce in Africa by 2036.
We are deliberately investing in the next generation of mathematicians, scientists, engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers.
And I have just one request for everyone reading this:
Open an account with Sterling Bank. Encourage your family members, friends, and colleagues to bank with Sterling.
When a bank makes this level of commitment to the education and future of our children, it deserves our support.
This is the kind of corporate investment that can transform a generation.
Sterling Bank is not just banking on Nigerians. It is investing in the future of Nigeria.
Thank you, Sterling Bank. Our children will remember this investment.

1. This interview was published on the 14th of March 2015, about 2 weeks before the general election that brought Buhari to power.
2. Goodluck Jonathan was still President, and Peter Obi spent essentially the entire interview defending his government and urging Nigerians to reject Buhari and the APC. The idea that he was sucking up to Buhari for his personal benefit, or somehow seeking a path into the APC, is plainly false, as I am sure you know.
3. The video you posted cleverly cuts a longer segment where he actually criticizes the APC and casts doubt on Buhari’s ability to tackle corruption if he takes over from Jonathan.
4. The full interview can be accessed here: youtu.be/FPRxDeg0xQQ?si=axkn…

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.
