They forgot how they left Saigon and Kabul. Let them try. Somebody wants to have central American countries and South American countries on their back, not to count Africans . Add to that European leftists.
Persona non grata in Niger: The ambassadors of Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria and Germany have 48 hours to leave the country. French ambassador also ordered to leave the country. French's President said NO. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu is in the air.
We Pan-Africanists are going to sue The BRICS in court for RACISM if Nigeria , African's people's most dynamic and mots populated nation is not admitted . A country of more than 200 million people with a $ 1 trillion GDP. cannot be sidelined when racist Argentina is given an " all clear". Russia even will be better off when Nigeria is a member because Nigeria opposes LGBT , unlike all the BRICS nations (except Russia).
Horus: No, Nigeria cannot be admitted because all countries who are puppets of the West are not allowed to join the BRICS
What is happening with Tinubu is the French trying to use him because they think he is not aware of how deceitful they are. They also naively believe he is unexperienced and can be bought. To escape from their gravitational pull Tinubu can just use his senate and argue that as a democracy -inclined president he cannot override legislators and make decisions on his own. He can even call on Macron or any US official to come before the Nigerian national assembly ( The House and The Senate ) to tell why Nigeria should invade Niger.
madridguy: The Worst Mistake of All: Outshining the Master
In The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene echoes the sentiments of Gracián’s quote above in the first law: Never Outshine the Master.
Greene writes:
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
Outshining the master is the worst mistake of all …
Outstanding ! That is how Diallo Telly died in jail under president Sekou Toure' in Guinea. Telly was a renown bright man. Thanks to his talents , he was elected as the first secretary general of the organization of African Unity ( O A U) , now African Union. He was later appointed as minister of Justice
His biggest mistake was to speak too much at cabinet meetings when the "supreme strategist and supreme leader of the revolution " Comrade Ahmed Sekou Toure' was chairing. Telly was arrested , jailed after being accused of "plotting to overthrow the revolution". He died in prison at the notorious Camp Boiro in Conakry, Guinea.
Nigeria has more regional influence, more money, more business opportunities than many countries that will be in BRICS in 2024. If you open a factory in Nigeria and sell your goods even for $ 2 / unit, you will easily become a millionaire even more, a billionaire in less than five years. There is less competition from big companies and there is more demand , it's called investment opportunities.
This is Nonnegotiable . Nigeria is a 100 % Black African owned country, not like those who take pride in their white supremacist owned past. Not only that Nigeria is Africa's largest country in terms of populations. It offers more investment opportunities than any other country thanks to its vital population, its coastlines, its rainforest and its fertile lands. If Nigeria is not admitted as a member state, we Pan- Africanists will fight BRICS, it is as simple as that.
Was Prigozhin on board? Prigozhin and several top Wagner lieutenants were named on a list of passengers shared by Russia’s aviation agency.
A Telegram channel linked to Wagner, which had previously carried the group’s propaganda videos, also issued a statement saying Prigozhin had been killed. CNN is unable to confirm the claim.
who care ? the man is president now. Even if he was an " F " student, he managed to get elected in a country of more than 200 million people not to count the hundred of thousands of " A " student in that country. It means the guy is smarter than what those US schools might say. BTW : Bill Gates is a college dropout.
AU officials are just like ECOWAS officials , they are at their headquarters in Ethiopia and Nigeria to have good time, chilling with girlfriends and mistresses. Other than that, forget it.
The 100-year-old wood house on Front Street is still standing as most of the town of Lahaina has been destroyed. Its owners have been left wondering what spared it. From pictures, "it looks like it was photoshopped in", owner Trip Millikin told Honolulu Civil Beat. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66575234
The war in Ukraine was ignited by NATO's willingness to get at Russia's doorsteps. So if those who write these types of articles want to insinuate Russia's guilt in the raising costs of goods in Africa, they better emphasize that NATO is to blame.
Wodu89: Welcome to Putin's age of crisis and chaos. The world has lost orderliness all thanks to Putin !
Putin did not practice slavery in Africa. Putin did not invade Libya Putin did not kill Gaddafi Putin did not bomb Ivory Coast in 2011 , killing thousands of people and putting in power Allassane Ouattara, the very same president who is eager to go to war today against Niger. Putin did not back terrorists and seek to overthrow Bashar-Al Assad in Syria. Putin did not connive with ISIS Putin did not refuse to sell weapons to Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram. The list is long.
Strategic planners in other African country should closely monitor how things work out in Nigeria. Maybe Tinubu's way will be rewarding in terms of growth.
Jbleenk: It’s all about US interest. You are mistaking if you really think for once US cares about democracy in Niger. It’s all about the resources period.
Take the money , thank the US for the grant , then hold your ground.
Would the crocodile bite the people if they refuse to give him a second term?
When Robert Mugabe was ousted as Zimbabwe's president in 2017, his replacement, Emmerson Mnangagwa promised a new start for his country's people.
But as President Mnangagwa seeks re-election at the polls later this month, Zimbabweans are grappling with the same problems - high inflation, poverty and a climate of fear.
The Zanu-PF leader, who is rarely seen without a scarf in the colours of Zimbabwe's flag around his neck, brushes such criticism aside, saying the nation will be "lost" if it fails to back him - his supporters pointing to a mining boom and other foreign investments during his time in office.
Known as "the crocodile" because of his political cunning, he came to power after a military takeover and mass demonstrations forced Mr Mugabe, long-time leader and Mr Mnangagwa's former mentor, to resign.
This is how great soldiers get ready for war. Do you go to war with women, children and elderly on your side ? No. You free yourself from anything that could distract your attention.
The Nigerian president was elected because he had a vision and an agenda for his country. Just let him work to improve the life standards of this huge country .
Dvdpity: Do you think that Algeria and Morocco, two gas producing nation Will allow Nigerian gas pipeline to pass through their country? When the two countries has pipeline that supplies gas to Europe..
You are such a slowpoke.
The pipelines were supposed to go along the coasts of the gulf of Guinea from Nigeria
