African leaders are afraid because they know that the people whom they lord themselves over don't like them. Honestly, I think the colonial boundaries should be torn down and let the various ethnic nationalities decide whom they want to share a country with. These artificial countries created by the european colonialists ain't working. This is why there is no peace in many parts of Africa and African leaders surround themselves with excess security personnel.

Africa lost a great man

If Nigeria is a Zoo, what will you call the EAST?

Check it with the number of coups we had since the 60s. P&t was over looking the state house in marina many years ago and no state house security operatives harrased people walking along the fence.

Not that I fancy any of our leaders,but I can not fault them for fortifying their abode and convoy.
Murtala Mohammed was on his way to mosque in '76,with only his driver and adc before he was assassinated. In shagari case,no gun was fired,except the one shot by shagari adc to kill col. bako when he informed shagari he has been overthrown.

Becoming president or governor is a gold mine, enemies are all around them every time. Transport unionism is a close example of how it is like up there

The problem is trying to forcefully sustain White's creation.

Brazil builds good planes ..can your country produce good toothpick?

Do not downgrade your country.
We can produce more than good toothpick.

Is there a part of Brazil that speaks or understand the English language?

Even our resident Zone-B chairman, the Vulture Griller cannot even boast of going to see his darling daddy in Aso rock.

If he attempts to do so, those trigger happy millitary boys would roast him like he does to his dead Vultures.

What annoys me most is that military guy that always stand in Buharis back,so if you dont stand there,he is no longer the President ?

Let me answer your question as to why Africans are scared.
African leaders are scared because they know that they lack the legal consent of the people they govern. Put it this way, they are the gate keepers of the another person's prison.

No African country is created for the people that's why the first thing they signed into their OAU was preserving the colonial boundary.

Though it appears that the current generation lack the knowledge of their history but the gate keepers (African Leaders) are subconsciously always scared of the people realising themselves and Revolting. This is exactly very evident in my Igboland, we have many chiefs but the only one that adorns himself with security men and Police is the so called King because he knows he is a mere warrant chief created to subdue the people
If it was for the people and by the people, they don't need to be constantly afraid of the people revolting

Very comprehensive.

There was a time during the Brazil worldcup, Ghanaians were seeking asylum in Brazil. Can people still seek asylum in brazil?

Your parents are living in Nigeria. Nigeria is a Zoo. Only animals live in Zoos. Therefore your parents are . . . . . . . . . . .

Nope,but there are some few individuals that speak English

Yes, but with a valid reason

One man heaven na another man hell.

I know lots of Brazilians here in Europe and they mourn how the corruption, low wages, and third world problems that plagues Brazil. But to a Nigerian, Brazil is heaven. Different stroke for different folks sha.

The former guinea bissau president nino vera was just slaughtered in his house for leaving together with people

Guy you for try scale that fence na and see if dem no go use bullet design your face. It’s even likely that the President does not live or work there. It may just be a tourist attraction. The Brazilian president is not very popular and can never lose guard when it comes to security.

The fact that they see leadership as a goldmine and rarely as a call to serve is the major problem we are having.

Stop misleading people.
You didn't visit the presidential palace, you visited the tourist-allowed area.

Gbam!!!

You ended up not telling us what you learnt....

okay

If you read my previous write-up, I talked about visiting the Brazilian presidential Palace and it was an awesome experience for me and one thing I noticed is the freedom. We have a bus stop near the presidential Palace as you can see in the picture below, I don't think this can happen in my country, the presidential Palace in my country is a no-go zone.



What are African leaders always scared of?



In Brazil, people go to the presidential Palace to take pictures and you won't find one military checkpoint or fierce-looking soldiers, why is Africa always different?



When I was making the video the military guy walked up to me and politely and calmly told me to go to the part where i can take pictures from because I was making the video close to the road, if it was in Africa a fierce-looking military man might even beat you



This are part of the reasons why I love Brazil because of the freedom we enjoy here

Did you say "might"? THe truth is that you will definitely be beaten blue-black if you try it in Nigeria. I remember a case of a student who took a photo of the official car of a governor when oga governor visited his school. The lad received several dirty slaps from an overzealous security operative and his camera confiscated. Nigeria is ruled by barbaric senseless beasts!

We must not all be in Europe, even Americans leave the USA and relocate to Brazil even Europeans are many here, the world is a global village, Brazil have many things that Nigeria does not have. Eg free education and free health care
