I know the rogue parading as Nigerian president was rejected by the world leaders. Tinubu has no place among respectable world leaders. Men like Peter Obi or even Atiku would have been invited if they were the ones in power. During the time of Obasanjo, you can't hold any world leaders meeting without inviting him.

One bitter soul is already spewing hatred already. If Tinubu had gone they’ll say his country in on fire he’s trying to settle dispute in another country, if he didn’t go he’s rejected by world leaders 🤣🤣🤣 the last UNGA they said he spent too much on hotel accommodation what do you want him to do ?
Nobody will relinquish power to you , if you want it fight for it or keep on hating till you choke .

Rama is a busy body, his performance has been woeful all this anti west busy body he is doing I really hope is an informed decision

South Africa a very confused African nation

When they say Peace and Safety, sudden Destruction cometh..

They don't know or understand what is at play. South Africa is likely one of the ten horns that will briefly rule with the Antichrist.

How would an unconfused African country react? What's Nigeria's foreign policy for instance 🤷🏽‍♂️

How do you expect them to include an election thief, drug baron, murderer, and a thug oduduwpig Tinubu to be invited. He is not of same feather.

It is an embarrassment reading post from some nairalanders. Put ethnic sentiments aside and understand the role of South Africa as a Nation with strategic interests and alliance with Russia. The middle East situation is just another frontier and SA is important in negotiating on a neutral ground for an emerging world order. Y'all with your ignorance quit putting Nigeria down for your hate for one individual.

Why is Saudi Arabia and america missing from the list, the outcome would be null and void

Why were Hamas and Islamic Jihad not invited?

Hamas was shouting Allah is great when they committed heinous crimes against Israel on the Black Sabbath and when Israel retaliated, instead of blaming Allah, you started calling UN, ICC, Russia, China, Arab and African Union etc.

Allow Israel to eliminate HamasISIS as they are not the legitimate leadership of the Palestinian people.

We should be united against Islamist fundamentalists because they don't understand diplomacy, nor obey the rules of law and of warfare.

Ramaphosa who don't want foreigners in his country is going to far away to Egypt to make peace

The question is, after one week of non stop bombardment of gaza by israel, how many hamas fighters have been killed? Has israel been able to decimate hamas capabilities and erode its weapons stockpile?

Some of you are blinded by hate and you will go at any length in putting your country down unnecessarily.
What is the point of inviting Nigeria to a Peace meeting in the middle east?
What sense does it make,Political or economic ?
Apart from South Africa,which other African countries did you see there? Of course Egypt is a host and it's understandable.
I shouldn't be surprised though since some of you were even calling for military take over.
You can rant all you want but this doesn't in any way concern Nigeria at all.

THE ILLEGITIMATE, BASTARRRD PRESIDIOT was not invited?

MadamExcellency:


More than eight are gone and counting

You see, just 8 out of 15k strong hamas fighters, and that it took the idf to slaughter about 3800 arab civilians, including women and children, and destroy settlements to achieve 8 hamas deadbodies tells you who is psychologically winning the war and whos at the other end of the stick. Thats not to forget that hamas has in its vault over a 190 israeli hostages it is ready to trade with.

You that is blinded by ethnocentrism and bigotry to the point you can't reason well again. South Africa that was invited, is it located in the Middle East? Nigeria has more claims to the Israeli/Hamas crises by virtue of having the largest muslims in Africa and also being in closer proximity to the middle East than South Africa.

If someone like Obasanjo is our president, they will definitely not overlook him. Tinubu is bad news no reasonable person or group wants to associate with. That's the bitter truth bigots like you don't want to accept.

Lol, you don't even understand the game IDF is playing. Hamas killed over 1000 Israelis and you think they won't want to retaliate by killing 5 times that number of Palestinians?

My friend, the Jews are deliberately killing Palestinians for several reasons such as reducing their numbers, making them cry blood for killing Jews, acting as deterrent, and psychological conditioning that the life of one Jew killed by Hamas will equal that of 10 Palestinians.

Oga, Palestinians have been facing the jewish rogues courageously since 1948. Their grandfathers faced them. The grandchildren are facing them.

Nice let work out peace for Israel.

Lol world leaders in deed
