After securing only three votes, Nigeria on Tuesday lost an opportunity to join the revered United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

The election saw four African countries secure seats on the council.
Ghana and Burundi were voted in as new members with 179 and 168 votes respectively, while Malawi (182 votes) and Côte d’Ivoire (181 votes) were reelected for a second term.

The Council is the UN’s premier rights body tasked with the responsibility of upholding and advancing fundamental freedoms globally. It was created in 2006 and consists of 47 member States, elected via secret ballot by the majority of General Assembly members.

It meets three times a year to review human rights records of UN Member

Tuesday’s elections returned 15 member countries who will serve for three years, beginning 1 January 2024.

Before our very eyes, our nation is diminishing and diminishing all because of the desperation of a global criminal entity .

Ghana 179 votes
Burundi 168 votes
Malawi 182 votes
Côte d’Ivoire 181 votes
Nigeria 3 votes

3 votes for the giant of africa? Even if we are to lose out , not in this embrassing fashion. This is a global embarrassing crash.
We have become a global laughing stock.
We now have a Pablo ecowas and world renowned forger as presidency select.

Membership of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) won't increase FOREX earnings of Nigeria or improve our economy. What Nigeria desperately needs now is an economic plan and not some international diplomatic tokenism.

President Tinubu, you need to wake up from slumber. Enough of haphazard policy actions.

Nigeria is a zoo republic.

Make una dey play😂. Zoo has finally collapsed

Peak fooling, the council was created almost 20years ago, and Nigeria has never been a member, so how's that Tinubu's fault that has barely used 6months as President. You're just an hateful bigoted ignorant villager with internet.
