The 45th edition of Diaspora Watch covers various global topics, including politics, economics, social issues and technology. Here’s a summary of some key points:

Donald Trump’s second term as US President has seen notable policy changes, with 26 executive orders issued on his first day, focusing on immigration reform, tariffs and reducing federal spending. Meanwhile, Trump has dismissed any intentions of serving beyond his second term despite “Trump 2028” buzz.

In other news, Captain Traoré’s anti-colonial movement has gained momentum, sparking discussions about colonial legacy.

Nigeria has agreed to pay the World Bank $6.25 million annually for 40 years over failed water projects, raising concerns about debt sustainability.

The edition also highlights social issues, such as staying connected with aging parents across continents and the CARICOM Badge Initiative, which aims to foster regional identity among Caribbean nations.

Additionally, there’s news about global tariffs affecting South African manufacturers and the strengthening of the Ghanaian currency against the US dollar.

On the tech front, Apple is facing antitrust challenges after a US court ruled against the company.

Furthermore, a shoe was thrown at Kenyan President Ruto during a rally, prompting discussions about security and public safety.

Diaspora Watch is a publication that provides news, trends and analysis from around the world, with previous editions available in print and digital formats.

Dr. Ademola Adesola, a Nigerian lecturer in Postcolonial Literature at Mount Royal University (MRU), Calgary, Canada, has received the Faculty of Arts Outstanding Scholar Award for the 2024–2025 academic year.

Dr. Adesola earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

Before joining MRU, he had worked as a journalist with The Nation newspaper in the Arts Desk Department and also lectured at King’s University in Nigeria before leaving for Canada.

The award, presented to him last week at the Faculty Council assembly, recognized his exceptional academic contributions and outstanding research achievements at the University.

Speaking with PUNCH Diaspora Tales, Dr. Adesola, who joined MRU three years ago, expressed appreciation for the recognition.

He described the award as both encouraging and challenging, as it is typically based on five years of scholarly performance.

“It’s a positive and heartening recognition,” he said, adding that it inspires him to remain committed to his academic work.
