Kudos to Erdogan. The funny thing is Turkiye's economy is in a total mess. But self-respect has never been about money. Na wetin we dey explain to some second class world citizens be dat on the other thread. Nobody will respect Africans/blacks unless we begin to respect ourselves. The double standard in the world is too much.

China has a population of 1.5 billion. A typical Chinese President controls 20% of the world's population. If Xi says he's the most powerful world leader on that basis alone and, therefore, be accorded equal respect, is he wrong?

budaatum:


Here we go again. Another one losing respect because he has to get the bus!

Bilabong:
Were u expecting Putin to attend?

marv1:



So in your thoughts now. China can claim most powerful just because of population?

crisubanijunior:
A whole lot of u folks really do not understand protocols. What do u think it will look like when all the invited world leaders troop in the Funeral with their various many motorcades and entourage? Do u guys know what it take for an organization of events of this manner?

Sergio103:
The African leaders that went were packed like an ice fish in a bus.
And nothing dey there head only corruption
So Putin was right after all

Bilabong:
Where u expecting Putin to attend?

3. Indian Prime Minister - Narendra Modi
4. Saudi Arabia Crown Prince - HRH Mohammed Bin Salman (refused invitation, sent a state minister instead)

6. Iran's President - Ebrahim Raisi
7. Belarus President - Aleksandr Lukashenko (wasn't invited)
8. Venezuelan President - Nicolas Maduro.
9. North Korean Leader - Kim Jong-Un.


Arab Leaders arrived in style with their convoys.
But our African leaders shamelessly boarded a coach and were driven like a bunch of kids on excursion to a zoo.

I'm glad Buhari refused the invitation and sent VP Osinbanjo instead.

Have some self respect and dignity Africans. How would they ever respect you when you don't even respect yourselves?

Turkey Pres rejected the offer because of UK gov said, No special treatment anyone yet same UK gov welcome UAE leader and co with massive special treatment
UAE buys almost 1M barrel of Russia oil everyday yet he came to the palace with his own escort.
India PM not the president was invited but rejected to come because of same reason Turkey president rejected the offer and it got noting to do with Russia relationship.
Mind, you Japan have increased her imports of Russia gas by over 300% since May and same Japan want to get massive deal from Russia gas pipeline deal.
Italy imports more oil from Russia than since war broke out.
Spain and Finland are now one of the largest importers of Russia LNG gas.

nighthawk1:
Putin and Zelensky for now cannot be under the same roof unless for peace talks.

Xi jinpin for now views US no3 person visiting Taiwan as an act of agression. He wont want to clink glasses for now.

Modi of India supports Russia for business and now want reparation starting with the Crown jewel.

**This is a case of some animals been more equal than others" This is where i love Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Late Robert Mugabe, Ghadafi. They have their flaws but they are Africans who know and defend Africans.

oz4real83:
Stop posting lies, all the leaders of these countries wanted to attend but they were rejected. They were told to send representatives instead of coming to the event themselves. This was as a result of strained diplomatic relations. Russia was because of Ukraine issue, China was because they refused to condemn Russia and became the biggest buyer of Russian oil in defiance to sanctions and also for Taiwan and Hong Kong issues, Belarus was because they provided ground for launching the Ukrainian war, Saudi Arabia was because of the murder of Jamal Khashooggi, Iran has always been tagged as sponsor or worldwide terrorism and their nuclear programme, Venezuela has always had issues with America, Britain and their allies, there is zero diplomatic relationship between them now, North Korea was told to send representatives but the leader was barred from attending due to the already known age-long issues with South Korea and the West and also their nuclear programmes. Turkey has strained relationship with Britain, America and her allies and only got worse because of Tayyip Erdogan's friendship with Putin. India is also having problems because they keep buying fertilizers from Russia their biggest supplier despite sanctions and still continues to maintain close relationship with Russia .

The black race is a blessed race without the influence of the whites.

When a black man does something, but a white man does the opposite, we blacks praise the opposite.

When a white man does something, but a black man or an African does the opposite, we don't praise the opposite.

If reverse was the case, you people would've still complained.

Example:

Imagine Buhari attended and he is the only person who used a convoy while the Western leaders, including the American president, used a bus, what do you think would've been the headline?

Nigerians would've been praising the whites for living a simple life, but Buhari went there with a convoy to showoff. It would've been considered inferiority even though it's superiority. Since it's the other way, no one is saying Biden and those Arab men are showing off.

I used to date this foreign girl that kisses her pet just as most of them do. After kissing this animal, she would want to kiss me with that same mouth. Can you imagine?

Now, let's turn the table. Imagine the whites are not friendly with animals but the blacks are and we kiss these animals incessantly, what do you think you and the world will say?

Everyone will say we are primitive for kissing animals.

The real battle of simplicity, extravagance, showoff, inferiority, and superiority is in the mind. The physical is just a movie for those with eyes.

See mumu black leaders, they were even laughing inside a molue like school kids. Thank God Buhari only sent his errand boy there.

UAE, France and even UK PM did not use bus

SIRTee15:


Let's drop this argument, there's nothing wrong entering a bus an African leader. Are we not the ones always praising European leaders for riding bicycle to work.
Let us get African leaders to develop the continent, that should be our priority for now, not their mode of transport when invited as foreign dignitaries.
I repeat, there's nothing wrong being conveyed by bus.

Biden, Trudeau, Olaf Scholz, Macron, and Arab leaders that used a motorcade, they aren't humans like you?

Black SLAVE in love with his masters.
