"We Will Not Allow Successive Coups" - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Address at the ECOWAS Summit

During the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government held in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was unanimously endorsed as the new President of ECOWAS. Accepting the honor on behalf of Nigeria, President Tinubu made a solemn commitment to fulfill the responsibilities of the office and lead an inclusive administration within the regional organization, as stated in a press release by Dele Alake, the President's Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy.

Addressing the prevailing wave of coup d'états in the region, President Tinubu asserted, "We must stand firm in upholding democracy. Governance, freedom, and the rule of law are inseparable from democracy. We will not tolerate a series of coups in West Africa anymore. Though democracy is challenging to manage, it remains the best form of government."

He further emphasized, "Among us, there is no one who did not campaign to become a leader. We did not provide our soldiers with resources or invest in their training and equipment to violate the people's freedom." President Tinubu condemned the violation of principles committed by armed forces turning against civil authorities, highlighting that they were initially hired to safeguard their nations' sovereignty. He warned against ECOWAS being a toothless entity, urging collective action and resolve.

Drawing attention to the alarming threat to regional peace, including terrorism and a growing pattern of military takeovers, President Tinubu emphasized the urgent need for concerted action. He expressed concerns over insecurity and the detrimental impact of terrorism on the region's progress and development.

President Tinubu called for united efforts from member states, promising to harmonize frameworks and translate the aspirations of ECOWAS into reality under his leadership. He stated, "The threat to peace and security has reached critical levels, necessitating immediate action to address these challenges. Without a peaceful environment, the region's progress and development will remain elusive. Hence, we must remain committed to utilizing all available regional frameworks to combat insecurity effectively."

The President highlighted ECOWAS' security architecture, which encompasses various kinetic and non-kinetic operations, including preventive diplomacy, the Regional Plan of Action on Fight against Terrorism 2020-2024, and the operationalization of the ECOWAS Standby Force on Fight Against Terrorism. He emphasized the need to harmonize these plans, mobilize resources, and demonstrate the political will to counter terrorism effectively.

Reflecting on his emergence as Chairman during his first participation in the summit, President Tinubu expressed humility and gratitude for the trust placed in him, vowing to serve the community's best interests. He emphasized his commitment to political stability, peace, and security, regional economic integration, and strengthening ECOWAS institutions, with democracy and good governance serving as the foundation for peace and sustainable development.

Under the pillar of political stability, he emphasized the importance of democracy and good governance as fundamental to the progress and development of societies. President Tinubu expressed his dedication to deepening democracy and good governance in the region, strengthening democratic institutions, respecting human rights, and upholding the rule of law. He also pledged to engage with countries in transition to facilitate their prompt return to democratic rule.

The new ECOWAS Chairman called for increased private sector participation to promote economic development and social integration among member states. He emphasized the need for collective efforts to achieve inclusive economic integration, driven by the private sector, to unlock the region's vast economic potential. President Tinubu stressed the importance of promoting trade, investment, and business cooperation by addressing barriers to intra-regional trade and fostering a conducive business environment. He highlighted the significance of economic partnerships in generating employment, sustainable development, and prosperity for the region's citizens.

In this regard, President Tinubu pledged to collaborate with regional economic facilitation platforms such as the Federation of West Africa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FEWACCI) and the ECOWAS Trade Organization Network to achieve desired goals.

President Tinubu assured regional leaders of the immediate implementation of his vision, announcing Nigeria's plan to convene an ECOWAS Extraordinary Summit on Trade and Investment in October 2023. This summit aims to showcase member states' potentials and promote business cooperation among various organized private sectors within the region. He also emphasized the need to strengthen ECOWAS institutions and conclude ongoing institutional reforms, ensuring that citizens benefit from the organization's programs and projects.

Expressing gratitude to the Heads of State and citizens of the Community for their trust, President Tinubu concluded by highlighting the shared values of peace, democracy, and economic prosperity, which can shape a brighter future for the region.

In his welcome address, the outgoing ECOWAS Chairman and President of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Mokhtar Sissoco Embalo, commended fellow leaders for sustaining the organization's vision despite global economic challenges and turmoil within the region. He mentioned Mali, Burkina Faso, and the Republic of Guinea as countries where constitutional order had been disrupted while acknowledging Nigeria and Sierra Leone for maintaining constitutional order through successful democratic elections.

President Joe Biden stated in an exclusive interview with CNN that Ukraine's readiness for NATO membership is still lacking. He emphasized that the war in Ukraine instigated by Russia must come to an end before considering the addition of Kyiv to the alliance.

Speaking to CNN's Fareed Zakaria, Biden acknowledged that discussions about Ukraine's imminent NATO membership were premature. Nevertheless, the United States and its NATO allies would continue providing President Volodymyr Zelensky and his forces with the necessary security and weaponry to resolve the conflict with Russia.

Biden shared his thoughts with Zakaria ahead of his upcoming weeklong trip to Europe, which includes a NATO summit in Lithuania. The war in Ukraine and Zelensky's pursuit of NATO membership are expected to be significant topics at the gathering.

"I don't think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now, at this moment, in the middle of a war," Biden explained. "For example, if you did that, then, you know – and I mean what I say – we're determined to commit every inch of territory that is NATO territory. It's a commitment that we've all made no matter what. If the war is going on, then we're all in war. We're at war with Russia, if that were the case."

Biden revealed that he had extensive discussions with Zelensky on the matter, assuring the Ukrainian president that the US would continue providing security and weaponry, similar to the support given to Israel, throughout the ongoing process.

"I think we have to lay out a rational path for Ukraine to be able to qualify to be able to get into NATO," Biden remarked, emphasizing that he had rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin's pre-war demands not to admit Ukraine due to NATO's "open-door policy."

"But I think it's premature to say, to call for a vote, you know, in now because there are other qualifications that need to be met, including democratization and some of those issues," added Biden.

In the interview, Biden also mentioned that the US had decided to send cluster munitions to Ukraine for the first time to bolster their ammunition as they counter Russia's offensive. While acknowledging that providing Ukraine with controversial ammunition was a difficult decision, Biden deemed it necessary due to Ukraine's depleting ammunition supply.

The NATO meeting coincides with Sweden's pursuit of joining the Western alliance, a move facing opposition from Turkey and Hungary. Biden expressed optimism about Sweden's eventual NATO admission, highlighting that Turkey, a key holdout, aims to modernize its F-16 fleet, and Greece has voted in favor of Sweden's inclusion.

"Turkey is looking for modernization of F-16 aircraft. And (Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos) Mitsotakis in Greece is also looking for some help," Biden stated. "And so, what I'm trying to, quite frankly, put together is a little bit of a consortium here, where we're strengthening NATO in terms of the military capacity of both Greece as well as Turkey and allow Sweden to come in. But it's in play. It's not done."

During the wide-ranging interview, Biden and Zakaria delved into other crucial foreign policy challenges, such as China, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Regarding China, Biden expressed confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping's aspirations to surpass the US in terms of the largest economy and military capabilities. However, he believed that the US could establish a cooperative relationship with China.

"I think there is a way to resolve, to establish a working relationship with China that benefits them and us," Biden asserted. He also mentioned discussing with Xi the impact of Russia's actions in Ukraine on foreign investments, cautioning China to be mindful of the consequences.

Biden mentioned that Xi did not dispute his concerns and acknowledged that China has not fully supported Russia.

"He talks about nuclear war being a disaster, there is such a thing as security that's needed," Biden commented on the Chinese leader. "So, I think there's a way we can work through this."

When asked about inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, Biden disclosed that he was expecting a visit from Israel's President Isaac Herzog. In March, Biden had criticized Netanyahu for his proposed judicial reforms, creating a rare public disagreement between the two allies.

Biden reiterated his belief in a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and criticized certain members of Netanyahu's cabinet for their stance on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

"It's not all Israel now in the West Bank, all Israel's problem, but they are a part of the problem, and particularly those individuals in the cabinet who say, 'We can settle anywhere we want. They have no right to be here, etc.,'" Biden remarked. "And I think we were talking with them regularly, trying to tamp down what's going on and hopefully, Bibi will continue to move toward moderation and change."

Furthermore, Biden defended his previous visit to Saudi Arabia, citing several accomplishments, such as enabling Israeli overflights over Saudi airspace. Regarding the Saudi request for a defense treaty and civilian nuclear capacity, Biden indicated that it was a distant prospect.

"Whether or not we would provide a means by which they can have civilian nuclear power, and/or be a guarantor of their security – I think that's a little way off," Biden explained.

Meanwhile: White Powder Found in White House

https://www.nairaland.com/7753344/cocaine-found-white-house-raises

An investigation is underway by the US Secret Service following the discovery of cocaine at the White House on Sunday night. The finding occurred in the West Wing, which encompasses the Oval Office and various working areas used by presidential aides and staff. Consequently, there was a brief evacuation as a precautionary measure.

During a routine inspection, Secret Service agents uncovered the suspicious powder in an area that is accessible to tour groups. President Joe Biden and his family were not present at the White House during this incident, as they were at Camp David in Maryland at the time.

According to a senior law enforcement official from CBS News, the substance was found in a storage facility typically utilized by White House staff and guests for storing mobile phones. Following the discovery, the White House complex was closed around 20:45 local time (00:45 GMT) on Sunday as a precaution. A preliminary test subsequently confirmed the substance to be cocaine.

CBS officials have reported that the Secret Service will conduct a comprehensive review to determine how the cocaine entered the White House. This investigation will involve examining security cameras and entrance logs to identify individuals who had access to the area where the substance was discovered.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration categorizes cocaine as a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act due to its high potential for abuse.

The West Wing, an extensive multi-level section of the White House, comprises the offices of the President of the United States, including the Oval Office and the Situation Room. Additionally, it houses the offices of the Vice President, the White House Chief of Staff, the Press Secretary, and numerous other staff members who are granted access to this area.

If this is true hands 🙌 up to him but our own here will never think of this

Very true bro. Salary increase to take effect the following day, no long story.

Kenya's President William Ruto has approved a salary increase for civil servants while rejecting a proposal to raise the salaries of senior government officials, stating that it can be postponed.

President Ruto announced in his speech that "we have reached an agreement to adjust the salaries of our teachers, policemen, military personnel, and government office workers by 7 to 10 percent starting from tomorrow, considering the current situation."

He further emphasized the importance of reducing the wage gap among all Kenyan workers, stating, "I have directed the SRC to provide us with international best practices to narrow the disparity between the lowest and highest paid individuals because we are all contributors to the country." President Ruto believes that it is unjustifiable for those at the top to earn 100 times more than those at the bottom, as they all reside in the same country, purchase the same goods, and frequent the same shops.

Additionally, he mentioned his directive to the SRC to explore an internationally accepted formula for score compression, with the aim of ensuring a more equitable distribution of resources and creating a society where everyone can lead a similar quality of life.

Know thy strength.

The sheer magnitude of the military accompanying him raises questions about whether they are preparing for war.

Given that he came to power through a coup, his heightened level of security consciousness can potentially account for the extensive military presence surrounding him though.

The online community was stirred when a video of the Guinean President's security detail went viral. The footage depicted a large group of military personnel surrounding and guiding the President as he walked on a public road. The President, dressed in white attire, appeared to be on a special outing accompanied by young boys and men also dressed in white.

Upon conducting a quick search, it was discovered that Mamady Doumbouya, a Guinean military officer and former French legionnaire, has been serving as the interim president of Guinea since October 1, 2021. Doumbouya came to power through a coup d'état on September 5, 2021, which led to the overthrow of the previous president, Alpha Condé. As a member of the Guinean Special Forces Group, Doumbouya dissolved the government and constitution through a televised broadcast on the day of the coup. He was subsequently inaugurated as interim president on October 1, 2021.

Joyetor, a popular TikToker, has shared an unconventional and astonishing technique for determining male fertility without the need to visit a hospital. In a video she uploaded, she explained the method as follows:

"Did you know you can figure out if your man can father a child or not without visiting the hospital?

Yes, you can. All you have to do is take a sample of his deposit and rub it on a wall, leave it over night and if by morning it looks chalk white or the family of white color then he is firing MISSILES but if otherwise then there's a cause for concern.

Ok, I know some of you are actually going to have my head for this but this is a SIXTH generational secret that I just spilled to you guys on a platter of gold

So, before you say anything, run along and try this thing and don't let any man waste your time.

Infertility is not just for women alone, so try it out and let me know the outcome."

Joyce Ijeoma, a Nigerian woman, had aimed to break the world record for the Longest Massage on Different Individuals but unfortunately collapsed during the attempt. The incident occurred at the event venue in the Lekki area of Lagos State. At the time of the collapse, it was 1am on Tuesday.

Prior to the collapse, Joyce had already completed a total of 50 hours of continuous massage. However, she could not continue and has not returned to the venue since then. The live coverage of the event was also discontinued.

The previous record for the longest full-body massage, set in 2015 by Alastair Galpin in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, still stands. Galpin holds the current record of 25 hours.

Joyce Ijeoma's goal was to surpass this record by performing the Longest Massage on Different Individuals.
