Summary from different sources ( Arise News, African Trade Chamber, Business Insider Africa, IMF ).

The economic relationship between South Africa and Nigeria is a strategically significant, multi-dimensional partnership anchored in trade, energy security, and investment. By early 2026, bilateral trade volume reached approximately $2.16 billion, characterized by a structural imbalance where Nigeria maintains a substantial trade surplus due to South Africa's high demand for crude oil

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) : South Africa is a major investor in Nigeria, with over 100 companies operating in the country, including giants like MTN and Multichoice.

Technical Expertise & Infrastructure: in sectors like mining, telecommunications, and finance.

Diverse Manufactured Goods: Nigeria imports a variety of value-added products from South Africa, including:

Agricultural products: Such as apples and pears (ZAR 118M in Feb 2026).

Chemicals: Including propylene polymers and scented mixtures.

Equipment: Vehicles, delivery trucks, and heavy machinery

What South Africa Gains from Nigeria

Energy Security: Nigeria is South Africa's primary source of crude oil in Africa, accounting for the vast majority of its imports from the country.

Refined Petroleum: Following the operationalization of the Dangote Refinery, South Africa has increasingly turned to Nigeria for refined fuel products.

Mineral Resources: South African firms are seeking preferential access to Nigeria's untapped mineral reserves, particularly lithium, which South Africa currently lacks.

Large Consumer Market: Nigeria's massive population provides a critical export market for South African services and manufactured goods

Conclusion:
South Africa will be a big loser if Nigeria pressed the reset button.

Africans are waking up . Do the South Africans have any idea of the Tsunami that is building up ? They better learn from social media.

Call to the Streets!

We, as Pan-Africanists, issue a fierce and uncompromising call to all youth organizations, labor unions, student bodies, peasants, women’s organizations, and every African across the continent: Take to the streets by the millions!



We demand that our governments immediately sever all diplomatic and economic relations with the Republic of South Africa and order every South African ambassador, diplomat, resident, and citizen to leave the other 53 African countries[b] at once.[/b]


We must remain in the streets, unrelenting and immovable, until every single South African business, diplomatic mission, and citizen is expelled from our sovereign nations. We do not want them here.


Hundreds of thousands of resolute protesters must blockade their embassies and businesses, ensuring they cannot open. Their ambassadors must not be allowed to drive on our roads or fly freely in our skies. They must be isolated and removed.


During the brutal Apartheid regime in South Africa, our countries survived and functioned without them. We thrived without traveling there. This proves beyond doubt that we can prosper and advance even if South Africa were to disappear from the map entirely.



We can no longer tolerate or accept the brutal killings, torture, and daily humiliations inflicted upon fellow Africans. These are not isolated or sporadic incidents; this is systemic, ongoing, and rooted in deep-seated hatred against us.


Let them stay confined to their own country. All African migrants must leave South Africa immediately.

If White people were committing these same atrocities against Black Africans, the entire continent would be in justified uproar.

We must stop allowing ourselves to be deceived and paralyzed by skin color.
Evil is evil, whether it comes from White, Black, or any other race. There is no excuse.


All South Africans must leave the remaining 53 African countries NOW.

This is our demand. This is our stand. The time for action is here. To the streets!

CodeTemplar:
Did that deter them from Terrorism?

Yes.

The best. He has common sense and he is not an opportunist politician who would engage in populism,
and blame foreigners on purpose to win an election.
People like that are rare in politics.

victory36:
There is no such thing as 'Pan Africa ' . Know this and stop deluding yourself

The South Africans are so vulnerable, but they even do not realize it. It is easy to take over that land.
They have no escape route except running to the south pole and freeze there.

We, as Pan-Africanists, are formally declaring to South Africa that your actions have become an embarrassment to the continent.

You have already brought significant shame upon us through your homosexual constitution; yet, as if that were not sufficient, you are now engaged in appalling attacks against African migrants.

We wish to remind you that there are over one billion Black people in Africa, excluding the population of South Africa. If these hostilities do not cease, 500 million Pan-African youth troops will march in to conduct a PEACEFUL OCCUPATION of everything. We do not come seeking war; we come simply to instill common sense and demonstrate the true meaning of African hospitality.

For the duration of one year before our departure, we will cultivate bananas, cassava, peanuts, tomatoes, maize, spinach, rice, and other staples within all of your stadiums and public parks. We will beat drums and dance at your presidential palace, your supreme court, and your national assembly every weekend.

Mali has been devastated by the horrific attacks of radical Islamist terrorists, yet the continent remains in its customary state of inertia. It is jarring to imagine if Europeans were to call upon us to join a conflict of their own making, whether in Europe or elsewhere; you would likely see a frenzied competition among African nations, each zealously rushing to enlist.
The continent is simply not rising to its own challenges. Perhaps it is time to send every African Union employee in Addis Ababa and all the ineffective ECOWAS officials in Nigeria to a rigorous bootcamp to finally learn the true civic principles of Pan-Africanism.

Zelenskyy's Ukraine is going to be worse than Israel. It will become an international terrorist state, attacking countries on all continents.

How long has Zelenskyy been in power?

Just look at how deeply involved he already is in foreign wars in Africa and the Middle East.

Israel did NOT attack any African country on behalf of any terrorist organization, from what the rest of us have read
so far online or in History books.

Mission accomplished: Their ISIS boy is in power

Better avoid traveling to the U.S.

"All this reminds me of Nazi times": An 86-year-old French woman recounts her 17 days in American detention centers


Arrested in her nightgown
Marie-Thérèse, an octogenarian from the Nantes region of France, spent 17 days in American detention centers following her arrest by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) on April 1 at her home in Alabama. Back in France for nearly ten days now, she told her story to Ouest-France and The New York Times.


At dawn on April 1, five ICE agents kicked in her door. Without any explanation, despite her attempts to explain her situation, Marie-Thérèse was handcuffed and arrested wearing a nightgown and a dressing gown. She was first placed in a "tiny cell," then transferred to Birmingham jail in Alabama, where migrants and ordinary prisoners are held together.


There, forced to UnCloth in front of everyone, she put on a "dirty, grayish-green jumpsuit" and joined a cell with around fifteen people. "I was terrified," she recalls.


Shackled and transferred 700 km away
Three days later, she learned she was being transferred to a detention center in Basile, Louisiana, more than 700 km away. Before boarding, she and other detainees spent an entire day on a bus on the tarmac, without water or food. "We were chained to each other at the feet," she says.


Her arrival at the Basile facility, a "fortress" in her words, took place in the middle of the night. She joined a wire-mesh cell with around sixty detainees.

Screaming day and night, the "smell of excrement," curtainless showers, 4:45 a.m. wake-up calls, and refusals of medical care: the octogenarian describes conditions she calls appalling.


What got her through those weeks, she says, was her faith and the solidarity of her South American fellow detainees, with whom she prayed and sang. "One had been arrested at the wheel of her car, another in front of her children, outside school," she recounts.

Marie-Thérèse says she wanted to speak out specifically for them. "I want to be the spokesperson for my fellow detainees. I told them: I'm going to talk about you so people know what you're going through," she explains, adding that she wants to "shut these facilities down."


Reported by her stepson?
For Marie-Thérèse, the arrests are above all racist. "Arrested because of their dark skin! That's racism." The color-coded uniform system, the "arbitrary arrests," the "chains on the feet," the "calls in the middle of the night": "all this reminds me of Nazi times," she says.



The octogenarian believes she was reported by her stepson, a former police officer. She blames her late husband's family for making her "live through hell" from the day after his death. Her husband Billy was a former American soldier she met on a NATO base near Saint-Nazaire in the late 1950s. Reconnected in 2010, he died last January. Without a green card, Marie-Thérèse found herself in an irregular situation.


Back in France, but not without plans
Back in the Nantes region, Marie-Thérèse says she no longer wants to live in the United States. "The land of the free no longer exists," she laments. She nonetheless hopes to obtain the "official recognition" of her green card so she can visit her husband's grave. Her story drew reactions all the way to the French government.

Netanyahu 's trial is not over. Wars, invasions, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and Lebanon did not erase the Israeli prime minister's
domestic misdeeds.

April 26 (UPI) -- Israeli President Isaac Herzog decided to hold off on a pardon for the country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on charges of corruption, opting instead to attempt to negotiate a plea deal.

Netanyahu has been on trial for six years on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust across three separate cases but denies he has violated any laws, calling the charges a "witch hunt."

Herzog has been under pressure from Netanyahu, his allies and U.S. President Donald Trump to issue the prime minister a pardon, though he has held off as opinions in Israel are relatively split on the trials, The New York Times and The Times of Israel reported.

"President Isaac Herzog sees reaching an agreement between the parties in Prime Minister Netanyahu's cases as a proper and correct solution," Herzog's office said in a statement.

"The president believes that it is right to first, before discussing the pardon request itself, exhaust a process that could lead to the formation of an agreement between the parties, outside the walls of the court," his office said.

Netanyahu became the first active Israeli prime minister to be put on trial in 2020, when he was charged with allegedly accepting cigars and champagne in exchange for political favors.


In the second case, he allegedly boosted circulation of an Israeli newspaper that offered him positive coverage and, in the third case, he allegedly promoted regulatory changes to benefit an telecommunications company in exchange for positive coverage by an online news organization.

Netanyahu in November requested the pardon from Herzog, whose office said at the time that it would consider the request and review it with justice officials because of the "significant implications" a pardon for such charges could have.

A plea agreement would require an admission of guilt, in addition to likely requiring Netanyahu to resign from office, which he has said is unacceptable and part of why he calls the trials an effort to drive him from office.

The trial "stirs divisions and deepens rifts," he said in the request for a pardon, and said that "to repeal the threats [to Israel] and realize the opportunities, national unity is required.

The cowardly terrorist attacks against the people of Mali were coordinated by the French and the Ukrainians.But make no mistake: Pan-Africanists will bow to no one, even if he had once been a former slave master. We are fighting for dignity and self-determination. No stooge will deter us from that noble objective.
May Minister Sadio Camara, whose house was hit in a suicide attack, rest in peace.
The battle continues until victory is accomplished.

Reports indicate that Mali’s Defence Minister, General Sadio Camara, has been k!illed during coordinated attacks on military sites across the country.
This incident comes months after Russian intelligence reportedly revealed that France was planning to el!iminate leaders in African countries that do not align with French policies specifically naming Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Madagascar as targets.
This comes at a time when these countries have expelled French forces, accusing France of pursuing neocolonial agendas and advancing imperial interests within their territories.
Pan-Africanists across the continent have strongly condemned the attack on Mali. They warn that as long as Mali continues to resist Western imperialism and neocolonial interests particularly those of France such attacks will persist. According to them, France is seeking every means possible to reinstall a puppet regime in Mali that would protect its neocolonial and imperialist interests.
Africans across the continent have expressed solidarity with Mali, urging the revolutionary government led by General Assimi Goïta to remain steadfast in resisting imperialism and neocolonialism. They praise Mali for championing the freedom and true independence of Africa

We all should keep in mind that French President Macron 's presidential term will come to an end in a year
(April 2027). Reason why the Dark Web that supports terrorist groups in Africa will be extremely active from now on. The goal
is to overthrow the Pan-Africanist governments of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger , before Macron leaves power. The French do NOT want to
lose control of their former colonies and the colonial clique within the French establishment is not sure if it will be able
to control peoples like leftist Melanchon, if the latter wins in 2027.

Are we not tired of these repeated attacks and killing African immigrants are the victims of
in South Africa.
What are those African immigrants doing in South Africa they cannot do elsewhere in all
the remaining 53 African countries, come on.
Just Everybody gets out and let the South Africans build a wall all around their country.

World cup FIFA .
Nigeria: 6 times.
Kenya : 0

Nobel prize : one
Kenya : 0

The world forgot and fake to forget?
April 20, is the German Fuhrer's Birthday.
Hitler did bad things but also foresaw all this chaos in Middle East and the world coming , more than a century ago.

One of the worst mistakes the western world made was to have allowed Zionism, a religious sect to take power in a state and have nuclear bombs.

Some of the reasons why many people are saying Israel is the godfather of ISIS are coming out.

The Israelis are now acting in Lebanon like the Visigoths in Rome.

Good way to go .
Imagine how many billions those countries made out of rejected visa applications over the past 50 years.
Enough is enough, they need to pay back our money.

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has called for the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) to refund African nations for non-refunded visa application fees following widespread rejections, labeling the practice as exploitative.
In a statement, Hichilema highlighted that African countries collectively lost over $70 million in 2024 due to rejected visa applications to Europe, with an additional £44 million ($59 million) lost to UK visa fees.

What he is hiding is :
Those wars he is talking about were won thanks to the military involvement of
the United states and many European countries.
The Arab broke the backbone of the Israeli army on several times, but for
countries like UK, the United States, Canada, France and many other European countties
Israel would not exist today.

Bibi is high on that herb, 'told you !

Ebenezer Frimpong was arrested for stealing a Ghanaian police armored vehicle at the Nkawie market after the driver briefly stepped out, leaving the engine running.
Following a pursuit, he was caught and taken into custody near Mim; the vehicle has been recovered.

Is this an issue ?
What impact does it have on a Nigerian cab driver fir his daily income.

As Professor Z, MA said "it is sometimes too dangerous to be a genius ".

We, as Pan-Africanists, unequivocally demand the immediate and unconditional release of Brother Kemi Seba.

Kemi Seba is a committed and uncompromising freedom fighter who has dedicated his life to dismantling the entrenched system of French neo-colonial domination across Africa. His struggle is not symbolic, it is a direct challenge to structures that continue to suffocate African sovereignty and dignity.

It is therefore unacceptable and deeply hypocritical for the South African government to posture as a defender of dignity and justice on the global stage (particularly in its stance on Palestine) while failing, and indeed refusing, to uphold those same principles for Africans on the continent. This glaring double standard is intolerable. One cannot claim moral authority abroad while trampling it at home.

Should the South African political elite continue to ignore this call, Pan-Africanists will not remain passive. We will actively push for South Africa’s suspension from the African Union and demand the expulsion of its ambassadors from African nations. A state that repeatedly demonstrates contempt for African unity and sacred solidarity cannot expect continued legitimacy within continental institutions.

Silence in the face of France’s repression of sovereignist political activists in its former colonies is complicity. This pattern of indifference must end. The continued detention of Kemi Seba is an injustice that demands immediate correction. He must be released, now.

President Ramaphosa would do well to remember history. The same French state that today exerts influence over puppet regimes in Africa
( such as the puppet regime of Benin ) was directly complicit in supporting apartheid South Africa, including collaboration with Israel in providing nuclear technology to a regime built on white supremacist violence against African people. That legacy cannot be ignored when assessing present-day alignments and actions.

For the record: Kemi Seba has acted with full consistency in his convictions. Though born in France to immigrant parents, he voluntarily renounced his French citizenship, stating clearly: “I was given French citizenship by birth; I did not apply for it. I am giving it up.” This was not symbolic, it was a deliberate rejection of the very system he opposes.

He has continued his fight against the CFA franc, a currency imposed on former French colonies that remains under the control of the French Treasury. Established under General de Gaulle, this monetary system has long functioned as a mechanism of economic subjugation, stifling genuine development and sovereignty across African nations.

As Kemi Seba has forcefully stated:

“The CFA franc is a colonial currency that keeps Africa in economic slavery.”
“As long as we use the CFA franc, we are not independent.”
“You cannot develop with a currency that you do not control.”

These are not mere slogans, they are indictments of an ongoing system of domination . And they are precisely why his voice must not be silenced.

Police in South Africa have arrested pan-African activist, Kemi Seba, who is wanted in Benin for “inciting rebellion” after he supported a foiled coup in December.

Seba, whose real name is Stellio Gilles Robert Capo Chichi, is known for his tirades against France and African governments allied with Paris.

South Africa’s police said the French-born Beninese politician and his 18-year-old son were apprehended at a Pretoria shopping mall on Monday.

Also arrested was a man who had allegedly been paid to help them illegally enter neighbouring Zimbabwe from where they intended travelling on to Europe.

All three have appeared briefly in court, facing charges of conspiracy to commit a crime and contravention of South Africa’s Immigration Act.

Police said preliminary investigations showed that Seba was “alleged to be a wanted fugitive in France and Benin for criminal activities relating to crimes against the state".

Their case was postponed until 20 April and they were remanded in custody as extradition processes get underway.

Benin issued an international warrant for Seba’s arrest on 12 December after he supported a foiled coup in which mutinous soldiers claimed to have overthrown President Patrice Talon.

The activist posted a video shortly afterwards declaring it “the day of liberation” for Benin.

Their attempted coup was thwarted during the day by the Beninese army with support from Nigeria and France.

Seba – who heads the NGO Pan-Africanist Emergency and has 1.5 million followers on social media - was stripped of his French nationality in 2024.

He openly supports the military juntas that came to power through coups in the Sahel region.

Nigeria would make a huge amount of money every day if the country blocked the whole Atlantic
ocean.Just see the map.

First Federal Pan-African Government: 3-Year Term
Let the Top Ten Take the Leading Roles

Nigerian politicians are accustomed to managing the needs of a very large population. With nearly a quarter of a billion people, Nigeria is ideally suited to take the lead. The first President of a Pan-African government should therefore be a Nigerian.

The Vice President or Prime Minister should be an Ethiopian. With almost 140 million people, Ethiopia has extensive experience in addressing the complex and often conflicting needs of a massive population.

The Department of Domestic Affairs should be entrusted to Egypt (120 million people).

Tanzania, renowned for its disciplined and loyal army, would be well placed to lead the Department of War and Intelligence.

South Africa, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sudan, Uganda, and Algeria are all highly qualified to play key leading roles in critical areas such as Foreign Affairs, Economics and Finance, Education, Urban Planning, Justice, Homeland Security, Health, Energy, Mining, and Industry.
