Most Countries are only allies to US to avoid getting bullied. The United States have but very few true Friends.
They have made so many foes/adversaries because of thier reckless foreign policy of invading weaker sovereign Nations at will.
It's not about religion.
Are Cubans, Venezuelans, Vietnamese etc Muslims??
True.
The developing world is awakening and countries are beginning to decouple from the dollar.
The days of thier dollar dominance/hegemony came to an end.
Venezuela, Iran and Cuba survived the economic war instigated by the US.
Look at what they did in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and others.

The more topics like this I read, the more I fear Nigeria really does deserve the government it has.
Too many crazy sounding posters who seemingly fill their time reading the dregs of right wing propaganda from a country thousands of miles away and uncritically swallowing it whole.

There’s a reason why the country has the leaders it does. Some of the citizens talk like terrorists. Praising China, a country that is loaning their leaders money with crazy terms that their leaders are using to buy China’s old trains and build rails using materials bought from China. How do you borrow money from a country and spend it buying things from that same country? China is sending people to Africa that don’t respect Africans yet these guys are praising the country that wants to colonize their homeland.

Chinese loans are project-based loans they are best for out kind of corrupt society, when you need their loans you will tell them what you want to use it for, they will come and execute the project at least There is no room for stealing also they will not subject you devalue your currency before they give you loan.

Chinese loam is little fraction of what Nigeria is owing , apart from these Chinese rail tracks can you identify any 3. projects executed from loans collected by Nigerian government ?

Yup. When there is no accountability you can make those type of deals. I always try to understand the mindset of a Nigerian that can see how China and Russia treats it's citizens domestically yet praises them as if that's a governmental style to emulate.

ParasiteWest:
There cannot be a right government until the West is put in their place. The interest of the West in developing countries is to make sure the developing countries remain impoverished so the citizens of those countries would find migration to the West for 'greener pastures' attractive where they're then exploited and exposed to modern day slavery. Their intent is to keep the West as a 'paradise' in the minds of the manipulated public. The West influenced the politics of Africa directly/indirectly. The right govt will get the 'Gaddafi treatment'
AnyanwuSilas:
I'm an Igbo man and not a Muslim, I know what's good for Africans, it's the West that destabilise our continent and take our best brain, why should I live in the US or RUSSIA when chance is being created by Russia to build my home? Russia have more nuclear warheads than the US, nobody will win a nuclear war, it will simply destroy the world, as an African it's better the world be destroyed and sent back to stone age instead the US will enslave the world, you think Russia is alone? The US are hypocrite, what did Obama do for Africans as a black man? they rather used him to destabilised Africa, was it not Obama that killed Gaddafi, Let’s be Frank, a multipolar world is better than one world order.

China and Russia are gaining Global acceptance because of the Hypocrisy of your ilks.

The whole World can't continue to be fooled forever (Only US and Europe are currently worked up about what's happening in Ukraine, the rest of the World care less).

I have an elongated video of the last picture where Wesley Clark, a former US Military Veteran and Presidential Candidate exposed the evil plans of the Americans.

I have series of leaked videos of Obama, Cameron, Bush, Hillary Clinton etc planning invasions of Weaker Nations, they do it with so much arrogance and disrespect.

I've also got videos of Putin dissecting the heinous plans of the West(in interviews) even before they are carried out which they have never denied.
Putin is more intelligent and smarter than all those dumb western leaders and that's why he is a pain in their asses.

If the Westerners mind thier business, the World would have been a safer place.

What is UN resolution?? Who is UN that's making a Resolution that leads to Deaths of Millions of innocent Civilians?
So a certain UN makes Resolution on Countries to be invaded and Countries not to be invaded?
Why haven't the UN made a resolution to invade Russia since they invaded Ukraine or UN resolution to invade North Korea that have made the Korean Peninsula unsafe??
Be like this "UN RESOLUTION" they look face ogrin

Syria would have been worse than Libya today if not for it's good neighbors(Russia, Turkey and Iran) that said no to evil. The whole Western Murderers were shouting "Bashar Assad has to go" like they ever cared about common Syrians.

You may decide to play Ostrich all you like, but Nations are getting clearer visions of the Western Hypocrisy now. Only time will decide.

FreddieGray:
Prominent Israeli Patron Of Ukraine Mocks Zelensky On March 5, 2022, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited Moscow, where he held a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the Kremlin read-out of the meeting, the two leaders “discussed various aspects of the situation in Ukraine in the context of Russia’s special military operation to protect Donbass.” Soon after the meeting, Bennett’s spokesperson told the press the Israeli prime minister made a phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Bennett traveled to Moscow at Zelensky's request to mediate a ceasefire between Russia, which initiated its special military operation on February 24, and the Ukrainian government. According to press reports at the time, Bennett coordinated his efforts with the United States, France, and Germany. Indeed, Bennet had spoken to French President Emmanuel Macron prior to leaving Israel for Moscow, and flew to Berlin after his meeting with Putin to discuss the issues with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Bennett’s diplomatic intervention came in the aftermath of two rounds of negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, one on February 28 and a second on March 3, in Gomel, Belarus. According to Bennett, his diplomatic mission succeeded in getting Russia to drop its insistence on the “demilitarization” of the Ukrainian armed forces, while Zelensky pledged Ukraine would never join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). But recent disclosures by Bennett suggest there was another purpose to his Moscow visit—to secure a promise from Putin that Russia would not attempt to kill Zelensky. “I asked, ‘what’s with this? Are you planning to kill Zelensky?''’ Bennett told the press during a recent interview. “He [Putin] said, ‘I won’t kill Zelensky.’ I then said to him, ‘I have to understand that you’re giving me your word that you won’t kill Zelensky.’ He said, ‘I’m not going to kill Zelensky,’” Bennett claims. According to Bennett, he then called Zelensky. “‘Listen, I came out of a meeting,’” Bennett claims to have told the Ukrainian president. “‘He’s [Putin] not going to kill you.’ He [Zelensky] asks, ‘Are you sure?’ I said, '100% he won’t kill you.’” According to Bennett, “Two hours later, Zelensky went to his office, and did a selfie in the office, [in which the Ukrainian president said,] ‘I’m not afraid’ and everything.” Indeed, on March 5, Zelensky did in fact publish a video on his Instagram account. “I’m staying in Kiev…on Bankova Street,” Zelensky said, pointing his camera out the window to show the street across from the presidential palace. Zelensky then walked over to his desk to deliver an address in which he asserted that he was “not hiding, and…not afraid of anyone.” The one problem with Bennet’s “recollection” is that it makes no sense. Ukraine and Russia were scheduled for a third round of negotiations, and by all accounts Russia was serious about bringing the conflict to an end. There was no indication that Russia was seeking to target Zelensky or any other Ukrainian leadership elements void of any deliberate provocation on the part of NATO or Ukraine. There was no reason for Bennett to engage in such a conversation with Putin, and there is no reason Putin would need to entertain such a line of questioning. True or not, the timing of this “revelation” could not come at a worse time for the Ukrainian president. With his army being defeated in eastern Ukraine, his government collapsing under the weight of corruption scandals, and promises of military support evaporating from erstwhile NATO allies coming to the realization that they will have to deal with Russia when this war ends, the last thing Zelensky needs is a “recollection” by an Israeli politician that he feared for his life at the very moment that he - the Ukrainian president - was proclaiming his fearlessness before the Ukrainian nation and people. Which, of course, is probably why Bennett chose this moment to release this information to the public. Israel is under tremendous pressure to begin supplying weapons to Ukraine. But Israel must also take care not to allow its relationship with Russia to sour, especially in the field of security (this is especially true given Russia’s existing military posture inside Syria.) Indications are that current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not yield to this pressure, at least for the moment. Bennett’s revelations are designed to embarrass Zelensky, and perhaps encourage his political collapse. Whether Israel acted on its own or, more likely, in close coordination with the US, Germany, and France to begin the process of facilitating Zelensky’s removal from power, it isn’t known. What is known is that Zelensky isn’t long for Bankova Street. And Bennett wants to make sure that is, indeed, the case SOURCE
9gerian:
Zelenski probably expected worse but got emboldened after knowing he would not be killed. Similarly, in diplomatic circles it would be inappropriate for Putin to say he intends to have Zelenski killed, even he meant to. Maybe if Zelenski had been told otherwise, he would have considered and made more people focused decisions for the benefit of the Ukrainian people.

In the 90s Islam is the most respectable and honoured religion among youth and the old even in the Western countries and that became a threat.
The tone of your words (You Muslims) shows how much you've filled your head consciously/subconsciously with what the US exactly want you to know and feel about Islam.

Yes, Ramaphosa told them to fork off, a huge blow to the US ego. SA is the torchbearer of economic development and prosperity in Africa, hence, it must align with the emerging world, and hope to bring others in the continent on board. Nigeria is a western puppet.
