Also, Burkina Faso is high on that list, and are doing well since their military coup.

The funny thing is that the continued success of these countries now under military rule could lead to a clamour for military takeover in some other countries. wink

And what are BENIN REPUBLIC doing to be on that list?

Our neighbour?

Somebody should please go there and find out. undecided

Tinubu has no reason to fail.

He is surrounded by some very sharp minds.

Niger?
Why u dey whine me na
Whine you how?

This is straight from the IMF.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-fastest-growing-economies-in-2024/

Niger began selling its uranium and other minerals at official world market prices.

With their so-called 'elected president', they were selling uranium to France at 2% of international price.

That is why the military has charged him with Treason.

I'm sure they sent details of the daylight robbery to Tinubu and other ECOWAS leaders, leading them to back off from military action.

This is why we must always inquire and investigate what relationship any intending president of Nigeria has with the western countries.

Because the closer he is to them, the more fuckd up we will be.

Those people are thieves. They can never change.

Their forefathers were thieves and plunderers, and so are they.

The most amazing there is Niger Republic.

11% annual GDP growth rate!

They threw out the French exploiters and their economy has shot through the roof within 2 months!

I see Tinubu getting us to at least 6% by next year or the year after.

All hands on deck.

BigIyanga:
Nothing concern u and Israel.. Ethiopian Jews are 3rd class citizens in Israel. Ethiopians dont consider themselves as blacks.. and they believe they’re superior..

So you and ur fellow gullible-minded fellows would 5th class.. and most importantly, Israel DOES NOT recognize you guys to have had any connection with Jewish lineage.
The overwhelming majority of Ethiopians KNOW and BELIEVE they are BLACK AFRICANS.

Don't come in here and talk any fake rubbish.

The AU would not be headquartered in Addis Ababa for several decades now if Ethiopians ''don't consider themselves blacks''.

Plus Israeli white Europeans ARE NOT descended from the ancient Hebrews, and are in NO POSITION to say who is Jewish and who isn't.

The ancient Hebrews were BLACK AFRICANS, not white people from Poland and Russia and even USA claiming today to be ''Jews''.

Imagine loudly and ferociously supporting people who will reject your blood as 'infectious waste' in a call for blood donations?

They will let you donate your blood, smile and thank you for your generosity, and when you turn and leave, they'll throw it away.

TUFIAKWA.

I'd rather support Satan the Devil if he exists.

And if YOU, as a black man, support them, knowing that they do this, you are the biggest and most worthless stupid, disgusting, moronic self-hating SLAVE on Earth.

DeadCountry:
Poor attempt. Try again with your terrorist propaganda. In the end, Biafrans stands tall with Israel.
Here is some more ''terrorist propaganda'', from the WASHINGTON POST.

Ethiopian Jews' Blood Rejected By Israeli Blood Banks

''In August, the last time terrorists blew up a passenger bus, Jerusalem's blood bank put out an urgent appeal to help the wounded. Uri Tamiat set aside his plans and waited in line to donate a pint at the bloodmobile outside the Mashbir department store.

Tamiat, 25, believed he was contributing in the most personal way to a fellow Israeli in need. But when he stepped off the stretcher and departed the van, Tamiat realized today, a technician took the young man's blood and set it aside as infectious waste.

Israel acknowledged today that it has been the government's secret policy for years to discard the blood donations of Ethiopian immigrants...

Revelation of the policy brought one more jolt of humiliation to a community of dark-skinned African Jews still struggling for acceptance after its dramatic airlift here beginning 12 years ago.

"It's one of the most degrading things I've ever experienced," Tamiat said in an interview today. "I thought they were saving somebody, giving a transfusion to somebody. They lied to me, and they took my blood and poured it into the garbage."

Two sensational airlifts, Operations Moses and Solomon, brought some 21,000 distressed Jews from Ethiopia in 1984 and 1991 -- two-thirds of them in a single weekend that stands as one of the world's remarkable feats of covert logistics. But now Israel's Ethiopian community, grown to 50,000, feels itself sinking into an underclass.

A recent education study showed that needlessly large numbers of Ethiopian elementary schoolchildren are channeled into classes for the learning disabled, and teenage Ethiopians are largely schooled in vocational tracks that prepare them for some of society's least rewarding jobs. A majority of Ethiopians are housed in grim trailer parks in distant "development towns," and their religious leaders are not recognized by Israel's government-sponsored rabbinate.


...commentators increasingly see the specter of racism in Israel's treatment of its darkest-skinned Jews, and today's disclosure in the newspaper Maariv appeared to strike a nerve. Though carried only in one newspaper, and buried on an inside page at that, the blood scandal was the hottest topic on the morning radio shows.

"Is their blood the same as our blood?" asked Micha Odenheimer, director of the Israel Association for Ethiopian Jews. "We say we've accepted them into our society as Jews. Have we really?"

Government officials were forced to confirm the story after Maariv published a photograph of a bag of blood with this handwritten notation on its tag: "Do not use because he is from Ethiopia."

CNN and its overt and covert support for Palestinians and their brand of Terror is just disgusting
All this your mumu slavish support for Israel, yet in their Talmud they state that you are less than an animal compared to them.

They even rejected Ethiopian Jews blood donations to their blood banks.

Because the Ethiopians are blacks.

Ethiopian Jews are treated worse than Arabs in Israel.

Keep being a dumb slave to racists who can’t stand the sight of you.

They will always complain. Tinubu gave them appointment in Lagos state while he was governor. Ben Akabueze was a commissioner in Lagos under Tinubu. Is that hate? See, you people are never satisfied no matter what.

Mind you, it was not Yorubas that made Obi lose the the election. It was the SS and NC. That was where Obi was supposed to gather more votes. At least, Tinubu won 4 out of 6 SW states, Obi won 1 and Atiku won 1. Obi won all 5 states in SE. So Obi won more votes in SE than Tinubu in SW.

However, Tinubu squeezed the north with Atiku while Obi couldn't win SS and NC over as expected. Is that Yoruba or Tinubu's fault?

The day Igbos begin to hold themselves responsible for damages done to them is the day they begin to find solutions to their problems. I mean, how can you carry out a coup and kill leaders of other regions and spear your own people and expect those others to trust you? E no make sense at all!

Politics › Qatar Building 500,000 Houses In Kaduna by Catapault(op): 11:44pm On Nov 18, 2023
Qatar Building 500,000 Houses In Kaduna

Qatar has started building 500,000 residential units in the northwestern Nigerian state of Kaduna, Doha News reported... as part of its Mega Economic City project.

Qatar's Ambassador to Abuja, Ali Bin Ghanem Al-Hajri, formally inaugurated the housing project in Kaduna on 16 August.

Kaduna is a major trade and transportation hub for the country. Its economy also heavily depends on its agriculture, manufacturing, and retail sectors.

The Qatari ambassador commended Kaduna Governor Uba Sani for his crucial support in the launch of the housing project.

In turn, the governor lauded the Embassy of Qatar and the Qatari-owned Sanabil Project for recognizing what he described as the “business-friendly environment inherent in Kaduna State.”

https://thecradle-main.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/public/articles/17eadb46-3df9-11ee-8438-00163e02c055.jpeg

Governor Sani added, "The Economic City will provide world-class infrastructure and make Kaduna a reference point in modern and affordable accommodation with adequate security and a conducive atmosphere for business activities."

“The Economic City will facilitate international trade while serving as a platform for local entrepreneurs and traders. It will also harness product value chain opportunities and improve economic growth,” he also stated.

Qatar's envoy further clarified that Doha had initiated various charitable projects in Kaduna, including providing scholarships for children residing in poor neighborhoods, as well as distributing essential home appliances such as "sewing machines, welding machines, irrigation pumping machines, and salon kits," in addition to the drilling of hundreds of boreholes for the 23 government locations in the Kaduna province.

Morphinne:
This is an unpopular opinion and most people won’t like this but you’re defined making sense.
Though the entitlement mentality among Africans should not be encouraged (I myself won’t condone it from anyone no matter how close you are) but rich folks should always strive to empower their family members before considering outsiders because your family will always remain your family no matter what.
Some people in our society today enjoy being nice towards outsiders and empowering mainly for clout, leaving their families in penury. Mind you, I purposely said ‘empower’ and this is not to be mistaken for just giving and giving each time they ask because I will personally not condone you coming to me for assistance each and every time you need help. I’ll rather find a way to make you financially stable on your own and this will not be done at my own expense.
Africans need to do away with this ugly culture of expecting others to provide for them what they can’t provide for themselves. For this guy to say this in public, it’s obvious they’ve choked him.
EVERY NATION HAS THAT ''UGLY'' CULTURE.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN THE WESTERN WORLD, THE GOVTS ARE RICH ENOUGH TO ''PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN'T PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES'', BY HAVING A WELFARE SYSTEM THAT PAYS THE JOBLESS MASSES A MONTHLY STIPEND TO KEEP THEIR HEADS ABOVE WATER, AND EVEN PAYS THEIR HOUSE RENT.

IN COUNTRIES WITHOUT A GOVT WELFARE SYSTEM, BE THEY IN AFRICA OR SOUTH AMERICA, SOUTH ASIA ETC, THOSE UNABLE TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES, RELY ON, AND EXPECT WEALTHY FAMILY MEMBERS TO STEP IN.

THE REASON FOR THE FRICTION IN THE LATTER SCENARIO IS THAT THERE IS NO AGREED SUM OR PERCENTAGE OF THE GIVER'S INCOME THAT SHOULD SUFFICE, WHEREAS IN THE FORMER, THE UNEMPLOYED KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY'LL RECEIVE EACH MONTH.

Specifically Nigerians from the south-south/middle belt/ some north east.

The oldest city in China is named Anyang.. Over 2,000 years old

We have a city called Ikot Anyang in Akwa Ibom.

Of course it is wealth.

And wealth gives class.

Do you know what the UK’s annual budget is?

2 TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

For a population of 60 million.

When you have that kind of money coming in, your taste and classy outlook will rise, as a country.

Nigeria’s annual budget is $40 billion for 220 million people.

It’s a pittance for the type of prim and proper services you are demanding.

The cost of keeping the garden looking nice will always be an issue for us, for now.

We just need to keep growing the economy and expanding away from oil, because that oil money is tiny for our population.

It’s black people that live there.

Ikoyi is well manicured and maintained.

Banana island is well manicured and maintained.

It is about WEALTH and CLASS, not skin colour.

If you go to poorer parts of cities in the western world, the white residents don’t ‘manicure’ their gardens if they have any.

They don’t give a damn.

You will see cigarette stubs all over the place and even empty beer cans.

Only when we form a single AFRICAN currency, drastically increase INTRA-AFRICAN trade and TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER, and achieve economic centralisation, so that African commodities can command a SINGLE INTERNATIONAL PRICE, set by AFRICA, as opposed to today where we are 'price takers', competing to sell at lower prices to attract foreign buyers to our respective countries.
