There is some merit to the arguments against Maduro's capture. There is an implicit understanding of sovereignty when nations interact with each other.
In the case of Venezuela, the US conducted a military strike on a sovereign nation to extract its sitting president, indicted on serious charges, yes, but without the consent of the Venezuelan government or any international mandate beyond its own warrants. This sets a precedent that powerful countries can enforce their laws extraterritorially through force, bypassing diplomacy or institutions like the UN.
Maduro's regime has been accused of narco-terrorism and authoritarianism (and Venezuelans themselves are largely celebrating his removal), the manner of his arrest raises uncomfortable questions about might over right. If the US can raid Caracas today, what's to stop another superpower from doing the same elsewhere tomorrow?
Sovereignty isn't absolute when a leader is credibly accused of flooding another country with drugs, but the execution here blurs lines between law enforcement and invasion.
Governor Fubara is the leader of the APC in Rivers State, but he would need to coordinate with every other person in the state. I don't choose who to support in the state's primary election. If Fubara emerges as the APC candidate, I'll support him. If he loses the primary, I'll sympathise with him and go with the person who wins the primary election.

The arrogance of the APC leadership will lead to the implosion of the party.
Those who do not learn from history are cursed to repeat it.
There is a part of me that finds the malignant lack of checks and balances in supposed democracy, very disturbing. The legislature has spent more time campaigning for the executive than doing their actual job.
I don't know how to respond to this, but transactional sex was still rife at the height of Nigeria's economic prosperity.
Have we bothered to check whether this is the end product of cultural norms and the predominant expectation of the male to be a provider, even in the most unreasonable circumstances? If yes, then you hardly can blame the economic trend. It probably accelerated things , but it is hardly causal
SmartPolician: Honestly, I must give some credit to the west (white people) for making blacks their citizens and allowing them hold key government position.
This is something we don't even allow among ourselves here in Nigeria and I know for certain that Asians will never allow. Asians are as wicked as blacks.
