“Despotism can only exist in darkness, and there are too many lights now in the political firmament to permit it to remain anywhere, as it has heretofore done, almost everywhere” – James Madison (4th US President 1751-1836)

“We cannot drive the wagon into the future without retrogressing to the past” – Prof. Alexia Thomas

“The free man cannot be long an ignorant man” – William McKinley

 

Chairman of The Commonwealth Liberation Party, TCLP, Prof. Alexia Thomas, has taken a swipe at the British government over what she termed as inhuman activities perpetrated by officials of the government against helpless Commonwealth citizens.

She named the British Immigration and other such law enforcement agencies as culpable in the silent killing of citizens from Commonwealth. These killed citizens, according to her, are buried in unmarked graves.

The rights activist also accused the police in the country of illegally detaining people in their cells against their rights.

In a petition she wrote and copied all top officials of government as well as the office of the Queen, Professor Thomas said Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Commissioner of Police, New Scotland Yard could be stripped off his honour for allowing injustice on the citizens of the nations of Commonwealth.

“Mr. Commissioner, your office cannot be in denial of the death toll of Commonwealth citizens. The British Immigration officers have been destructive as their views of the Commonwealth citizens are human bugs…” She said.

In the letter dated 26 February, 2016, Thomas alleged that sir Hogan-Howe, has made no effort to inform the families of the deceased of their children assailants.

“Deaths in the detention centres comes to the attention of the police before the bodies are taken to the morgue; the police called to the scene and yet dead victims are denied autopsy and your office knows these deaths are homicides and still under covert operations, these deaths are covered.

“The UK Government steals Commonwealth nations’ natural resources, control their economy, destabilise their currency, fail to give them independence, but instead gave them sovereignty.

“Mr. Commissioner, Mr. Cameron instigates Immigration Officers to kill Commonwealth citizens just as his ancestors in the past stole from the Caribbean’s by forcing their settlement in Grange Sugar Estate in Jamaica without a residence permit, only an Outlaw bandit exhibit such qualities.

“Why must Immigration officers be appraised as Bounty Hunters? British Immigration officers commit heinous crimes against these coloured people, yet there has been no probe, sack, charges and termination of personnels of these immigration storm troopers. Mr. Cameron applauds evil against humanity preparing his unconscious destruction for the British people,” part of the letter said.

She said for the purpose of truth, justice, fairness and posterity, Hogan-Howe must open historical and current cases of homicides while wondering why immigration officers daily break into people’s homes with fake warrants,destroy properties, vandalise homes, arrest, harass and even kidnap people at train and bus stations.

The letter accused Britain of still regarding Commonwealth citizens as slaves saying this had encouraged the immigration officers to cover up over 5,000 deaths caused by them.

She warned that the British government could lose its respect if such inhuman activities are not urgently checked.

Here’s Prof Alexia’s position:

Why Commissioner of Police must open up on historical & current cases of homicide

For the purpose of truth, justice, fairness and posterity, Professor Thomas brings to the attention of Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe the need to open historical and current cases of homicides. She said: “Mr. Commissioner, your office must open historical and current cases of homicide as judgement must prevail, hence no man is above the law.

“Failure to open these investigations becomes evidential race superiority complex is a sicken trait, therefore Britain rather be an Island of its own, so Commonwealth nations must not be cheated in a white man’s deceit to steal their Gold and give them rubbles.

“Evidence proving that immigration officers killed unlawfully is in a letter on our server which in its re-investigation is a cold case as justice is required for the unlawful death of the Commonwealth citizens and ignorance of duties is death of service. http://www.thecommonwealthliberationparty.org/investigation/ukba-death-affirmation/

Copied Queen Elizabeth II, Prince of Wales, Prime Minister, Buckingham Police Dept, Parliament; House of Commons, Foreign & Commonwealth Office

In a letter also copied to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince of Wales, Prime Minister, Buckingham Police Dept, Parliament; House of Commons, Foreign and Commonwealth Office in a bid to bring to their attention all salient issues raised, Professor Thomas said: “The police should stop the immigration officers commissioned as Cameron’s stormtroopers to stop killing the Commonwealth citizens and to stop destroying their values as they are not the British peoples’ problem but instead the British are their own muggers because they cannot survive without the Commonwealth countries.

“Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, as a law graduate, I would have expected that you challenge the obscenity of Cameron’s government, rather you will see it has nothing to do with you and you refuse to expose the atrocities committed against the citizens of Commonwealth. Your officers must check themselves, they have failed their strangers unequivocally and your land, their settlement.

“The whole British Police Force needs serious overhauling of their institution as their criminality has brought dis-reputation to law integrity. You have soaked yourself in political mud of corruption. The British Police as a Force now confraternized and using deceit diplomacy to imprison people .

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.

Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.

The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.

The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.

Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.

The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%

 

Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.

 

In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.

For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.

Commenting on the product launch, Miriam Olusanya, Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd, said: “Quick Airtime Loan reflects GTBank’s continued focus on delivering digital solutions that are relevant, accessible, and built around real customer needs. The solution underscores the power of a connected financial ecosystem, combining GTBank’s digital reach and lending expertise with the capabilities of HabariPay to deliver a smooth, end-to-end experience.
