It all makes sense that the British and the yankee prefer Tinubu simply because Atiku doesn’t have any love for Nigeria. If elected, he is going to simply sell Nigeria, empower himself, his family and friends… Peter Obi on the other hand lacks the unique experience and skills that are necessary to socially and economically stabilize the country. If elected, it will create more crisis in Nigeria and more killings among the Igbos.

British and Yankee may not be saying or doing anything at this time, but expect them to make their moves when the time is right. “EMILOKAN”!!!

That people still use words like 'colonial master' in reference to the UK is emblematic of the ingrained inferiority complex plaguing the average Nigerian, and their leaders..

Countries like the UK, France etc are relatively small countries on an irreversible long term decline, yet, Nigerian leaders are still fixated on what these countries think or say about us.

Even with the current situation in Nigeria, this is a big country, with the largest economy in Africa. Countries like France, UK, or organisations like the EU can do absolutely nothing against Nigeria. They simply don't have the economic might. They need us more than we need them, but we don't know it, because we have very poor leaders.

It is frustrating that every year, a small country like the UK or France can call over 40 African leaders to London or Paris for so-called UK-Africa or France - Africa summit, and you see silly African leaders rushing there and being hoarded into a hall to be lectured. Of course, our own leader is usually one of the first to turn up and mark register. Yet, none of these leaders ever demand that these summits also take place in Africa.

Can France or the UK summon all Asian or South American leaders?

Africans leaders mostly have no sense of worth.

Now, every presidential candidate is jostling to go to Chatham house in London to explain their plans for Nigerians, and then the media and the populace here spend weeks endlessly analysiing every sinew of what a candidate says at Chatham house. Do UK politicians come to Abuja to explain their plans for their people?

Atiku went to France, PDP proclaimed that he was 'invited to meet Nigeria's international partners.' At the end of the day, what we saw was a solitary picture of him sitting around a coffee table with what seemed like two 25 year old admin officers who looked like they had no idea why they were asked to meet Atiku. No French minister, not even a junior one, had the time to meet him. Yet, PDP was happy that he was at least pictured with 2 white people.

Obi snapped a laughable and cringe worthy photograph in front of EU building in Brussels. There was no evidence that he had any meeting with EU officials. Yet, the picture was trumpeted by the Labour party as proof that Mr Obi was 'engaging with international leaders and organisations'.

Tinubu does Chatham House, and the reverberation, analysis and counter analysis is still going on till today, with intense disagreements amongst diverse party supporters about Mr Tinubu's performance. Infact, to this day, Arise TV has not stopped bringing on 'experts' for endless dissection of 'Tinubu at Chatham House'.

Yet, in the UK, 99.9% of the populace don't know anything about Chatham House, and have probably not heard the name before. It is a largely insignificant institute in the UK, but here, we are obsessed with it. We have now made it a compulsory pre-election pilgrimage for our presidential candidates to talk to us from this institute located in a foreign country.

We have elevated these countries to a level they can't even believe. Why should the opinion of an American president or any foreign leader influence how we vote here. Every day we scrutinise every news to see if America or Europe is supporting any candidate. If we see even the most remote sign, we start celebrating for that candidate. Is America or Europe feeding you, paying your house rent, or if you have children, paying their school fees? Why do we desire their affirmation so much. What is their business with our election. Do Brazilian, Indian, or Egyptian presidential candidates travel abroad desperately seeking white man's approval before contesting election?

I think anytime we see any sign of interference from the US, France,UK or indeed any country with how we vote and who we vote for, we should, irrespective of the candidate you support, come together to demand they butt out or else we mount pressure on the government to impose sanctions on them.

Yes, Nigeria can impose sanctions on even the USA, let alone declining minnows like France and the UK. We just don't have the right leaders.

bros we don tire to talk but I realized that the education average Nigerians goes through is designed to train them into obedient colonized people.

I love u bro... No homo.


Finally a sensible comment from a sensible Nigerian.

Our inferiority complex is mind blowing. Last night I told a friend I'd come back in my next life as a tree in a desert, than come back as an African.

P.s. I don't want to come back as an European or American either.

This could be new to some people here on this platform,to me it isn't The British always believe power should come from the North,because they can easily manipulate them and do all sort of atrocities.

Their love for the Northerns did not just start today but way back,that is why they feel they own this country,but things are changing very soon those narratives will change for a better Nigeria.

Because this country belongs to everyone,so they should be a level playing ground for all irrespective of their religion,tribe etc

Obama the idiot. Only Idiots think Obama is the next best thing after sliced bread. Never did anything to elevate Blacks in the US or worldwide. Africa needs to start detaching from the West. The west DOES NOT and NEVER HAD Africa's interest at heart. Look around a lot of countries are detaching from the west. South American Countries, Middle East are all detaching from the west especially from the USA.
