Trump Congratulates UK’s Farage, Ignores Starmer
Former United States President Donald Trump has congratulated Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform UK party, on his electoral breakthrough in the recent UK parliamentary election, but notably ignored Keir Starmer, the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
In a statement released on his social media platform, Trump praised Farage for his “tremendous success” and “fantastic achievement” in leading his party to win several seats in the UK parliament. However, Trump’s congratulatory message made no mention of Starmer, who led the Labour Party to a historic victory, ending 14 years of Conservative rule in the UK.
Trump’s snub of Starmer has raised eyebrows among political observers, who note that the former US President has a history of controversial statements and actions. Farage, a longtime ally of Trump, has been a vocal supporter of the former President’s policies and has echoed his populist and nationalist rhetoric.
The UK election saw Starmer’s Labour Party win a massive majority, with more than 410 seats, while Farage’s Reform UK party won several seats, including in key constituencies.
The outcome of the election marks a significant shift in UK politics, with the centre-left Labour Party returning to power after 14 years of Conservative rule.
Trump’s congratulatory message to Farage has sparked speculation about his motives, with some analysts suggesting that he is seeking to maintain his influence in global politics through
his allies and supporters. The snub of Starmer has also raised questions about Trump’s relationship with the new UK Prime Minister, who has been critical of Trump’s
policies and actions in the past.
As the UK and US continue to navigate their special relationship, Trump’s congratulatory message to Farage has added a new layer of complexity to the diplomatic dynamics
between the two nations

Nurture The Kids Celebrates Milestones In Empowering Children, Communities In Nigeria And US
Nurture the Kids (NTK), a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children and communities globally, has celebrated its remarkable achievements in providing education, healthcare, and essential resources to those in need. During its Official Launch and Gala Night held in United States on November 23rd, 2024, Dr. Nikki Ezeani, President of NTK, welcomed guests and expressed her deepest gratitude for their unwavering support.

“Tonight, we gather to celebrate the power of compassion, community, and generosity,” she said. “The seeds we sow today will blossom into a world where every child has the chance to succeed. “Nurture the Kids’ journey began with a poignant moment of inspiration for Dr. Ezeani, who recalled visiting an elementary school in Nigeria and witnessing children in tattered uniforms, struggling to learn in deplorable conditions. “In that moment, I felt a divine call to act,” she said. “I knew that I had to do something to make a difference in the lives of these children.
“Diaspora Watch reports that since its inception, NTK has achieved numerous milestones, including launching a school lunch program in Nigeria that has impacted multiple schools, providing nutritious meals to thousands of children. The organization has also renovated two elementary schools, transforming unsafe and unsuitable buildings into vibrant learning environments that foster growth and development. One of NTK’s most recent and notable projects was completing the construction of a secondary school in Nigeria, which was originally envisioned by the late Bishop Gregory Ochiagha. The school, which was left unfinished after the bishop’s passing, was in danger of being abandoned. However, through the collective efforts of NTK and the Ezinne Women Association, the building was brought to completion, providing a safe and dignified place for children to learn.
“This building represents more than just bricks and mortar – it is a gateway to brighter futures and opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach,” Dr. Ezeani said. “We are proud to have played a role in bringing this vision to life and look forward to seeing the impact it will have on generations to come. “NTK’s work extends beyond Nigeria, with efforts to reach underserved youth and families in Maryland through education, health screenings, and essential resources. The organization’s commitment to empowering children and communities is rooted in its belief that every individual deserves access to quality education, healthcare, and opportunities for growth and development. As Dr. Ezeani reflected on NTK’s accomplishments, she celebrated the power of community and generosity. “Your kindness, presence, and belief in our mission make every milestone possible,” she said. “We are grateful for your trust in us and look forward to continuing our work together to create a brighter future for all.
“The event was attended by dignitaries, supporters, and members of the community, all of whom were inspired by NTK’s re-markable achievements and commitment to empowering children and communities worldwide. As the organization looks to the future, it remains dedicated to its mission of providing education, healthcare, and essential resources to those in need, and creating a world where every child has the chance to succeed.
