Republic of Mali more "POWERFUL" than Republic of Nigeria?

Mali Crises: From Disputed Election to President's Resignation.

By Prince Victor.

It is no News that the President of the Republic of Mali, His Excellency President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita announced his resignation as president and dissolved his cabinets after a staged munity from soldiers as he was arrested and detained alongside his Prime Minister where he was constrained to resign.

The Question on the lips of Many Nigerians since the scenario is "Republic of Mali more POWERFUL than Republic of Nigeria"?

Mali has population of a near-20 million people, a country whose population is just a state in the Giant of Africa, Nigeria.

Since the re-election of Keita in 2018 which was adjudged to have been marred with irregularities by opposition party's and the Malians populace, series of protest upon protest upon deadly protest had been staged demanding the resignation of the president. They accused president Keita of failing to fix the country's dire economic situation and contain a
years-long armed campaign by various groups that has killed thousands and rendered vast swaths of Mali ungovernable.

In a move to settle the dispute, Ecowas set up a team led by Nigeria President, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Jonathan GCFR as a special envoy to Mali, to bring peace to the country.

The World Peace Ambassador took this task and held series of peace talks with the president, the conflicting oppositions and the people of Mali but the Malians were hell bent as they all rejected the movement, The protest movement's leaders continued to call for parliament to be dissolved and urge for civil disobedience.

The opposition declares on August 17 that it will stage daily violent protests culminating in a mass rally in Bamako at the end of the week but on the night of August 18 the President threw in the towel and resigned as external forces from the soldiers stepped in and constrained him to resign.

The case of Mali is synonymous to that of Nigeria, where the re-election of Buhari was marred by irregularities, over voting, vote buying amongst other and have since failed to fix the economy as the country risk collapsing her structures to China over alarming loans enriching the Apc's treasury.

In Mali, we have a 20-million people of just a state in Nigeria who stood there ground with stiff resistance until there protests became successful.

In Nigeria, we had over 200 million, a 10x multiple of mali's population who are discombobulated, flummoxed, befuddled, trifling and nugatory people who are insensitive and can't stand united to oust a flippant and tyrant government.

Mali has set an unprecedented byspel.

Nigerians should Emulate!

it's not that Mali is stronger than nigeria, it's just that ethnic and religious differences has made nigeria a very weak nation, all thanks to our dubious leaders who are experts in playing politics of divisions along ethnic and religious lines.
with these type of leaders on the throne of nigeria leadership, this nation can never be great.

Mali is in top 20 gold-producing nations in the world and has 50 gold mines but with no gold reserves.
France has one of the world's biggest Gold Reserves in the world with zero gold mines!
