Britain would not waste tax payers money like Putin would Russians because Britons would be up in arms if they dared.

Just imagine if that bus crashed...many African nations will be thrown into mourning. Britain messed up big time. Someone said, they don't want to waste tax payers money...which yeye tax payers money...most of their money come from Africa, yet they decided to treat them like slaves...

Na who value me, I go dey go him house o

Pic 1 = African leaders carried in a school bus in 🇬🇧 England.

Pic 2-4 = African leaders with their own motorcade in 🇷🇺 Russia. (Aurus Senat, same car Putin uses)

Revolution2022:
Do African politicians care about you?Your president removed fuel subsidy from petroleum and took 500m dollar loan to cushion the effect.While he gave the national assembly who are already well fed,70billion he budgets 8k to you which you are not even going to get at the end of the day.

Glory to 🇷🇺 Russia! Glory to the Red Army. Uraaaaaah!

African leaders were brought in by the west to be lectured while Russia is extending a hand of friendship and offering a better favorable deal that will lead to prosperity and growth of the continent

So because I am on Nairaland, and commenting on Nigerian issues, that makes me a Nigerian right? Tinubu is not my president... everyone here are not Nigerians

But it's okay for our Government to waste tax payers money on convoy when foreign politicians come to Nigeria?

SmartPolician:
That's an unfair comparison. During the death of the Queen, there were guests from all over the world coming to the UK. In the picture above, Putin invited a few African leaders to a meeting in Moscow.

Besides, the UK is a country that takes strict steps to manage their resources, unlike broke African countries living an extravagant lifestyle. When Boris Johnson was the British PM, he often travelled in the economy class of British Airways, but a broke Nigerian president always flies a NAF jet anywhere he goes.

OP: You are being mischievous. I am Pro-Russia like you but I have to admit this is a biased comparison.

The bus ride was because it's a burial ceremony with guests (Celebrities, Politicians, Royalties, etc.) from all over the world. You can't compare it with a summit organized specifically for Presidents.

The comparison is flawed.

Zonefree:
Na only Russia and Putin dey value Africa and Africans while the whole of the West refer Africans as slave.

GanagiBitrus:
So that dude in red beret is a leader.

SmartPolician:


I don't hold briefs for the British government, but they said it was for security reasons. A few African presidents (I think Kenya and Tanzania) attended the burial while all others sent their reps, including Buhari.

As for singling out African leaders, it's FALSE. Most attendees, including those from EU countries, were made to board on that bus because the British security didn't want foreign security operatives around the palace. Only the US and Qatar Emirate were allowed to drive their own cars.

OneCandleAway:


So you expect the uk to let each dignitary take their convoy. You think it's Nigeria where you block the road because VIP is passing. Have you considered how it will affect the people if they block road because every person attending the funeral wants to use motorcade? How it will affect health emergencies, people going to work e.t.c

I know African leaders don't have respect for their people so you take them like God's that you must suffer for them but in the west they try to put their people first.

And your country isn't as developed as US so you can't expect treatment luke US. If your country was powerful and not a f.ucking corruption cesspit your president will be allowed to have a motorcade

AbdulCLO:


Now tell me did the western leaders put in a bus ? USA, France, Germany, Canada, India etc etc....... show us the Bus that carried the other presidents

Hope you are not trying to mock him?

Better do a quick research on his governance in Burkina Faso. The 34 years old has brought the insurgence in the country to almost a standstill within his few months in office.

Thomas Sankara maybe reincarnated in Capt Traure.

GanagiBitrus:

No reason to mock him.
Only that his dressing looks funny & out of place in the pix. At least he should have followed the dress code for such occasion.

But Russia colonised their neighbours. Did west colonize countries in eastern europe? No!!
Japan did not colonize or invade Africa but they colonize some countries in Asia. Colonial master is Colonial master. No other name.
