Kobojunkie:
Your folks are examples of typical Nigerians. I mean we have folks who equally say that Tinubu was a good governor during his 8 years in Lagos even when the records and present evidence reveal the opposite

Same folks tell me TINUBU was bad,and I was very aware of that as an adult by then.so they likely know what they are talking about

Kobojunkie:
How can I use Nigeria, a place where the people would rather exists as zombies, refusing to educate themselves of their own rights and responsibilities under their own democratic system, and refusing to make clear demands of those whom they have elected, as reference for Pete's sake? How?

Democracy is a governmental system by the people for the people. Nigerians do not see themselves as the power and authority in their system. They literally abandoned their rights and allowed the dogs they hired to work the system to run free. How can that be a reference for democracy or sanity?

Ok noted.

There is a NL thread on top GDP Countries. Have you ever wondered why no black nation is ranked high on such list despite being blessed with huge natural resources?

I see... So you rarely base your opinions on reported facts but rather what you are told by others, including your parents. You are definitely a typical Nigerian as well.

I don't wonder about such things because looking at the way things are run in Nigeria for example, it is clear to see why.

Note YOUNG STRONG BRAVE AND ABLE LEADER,all these traits must be checked.

Leadership recruitment is very serious and calls for utmost care and detail

What % of your own time and other resources are you using daily for this very serious recruitment process at your local, state and federal levels

dont mind the brainwashed vagabond
perpetual western slAVE

IamANigerianMan:
Mr. Sense are making progress as a country?

loswhite:
Are we praising APC? lol so you are aware that he has made zero progress and you are celebrating him…lol

my point is that who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones.

Let's focus on our own issues and allow other countries take care of their shiii

stop praising nonsense, Burkina ain't making much progress since these military guys actually took over.

Yet his people love his leadership.
Traore is doing well bruv, take it or leave it.

Eriokanmi:
You're not getting my point. Nobody is fooling me. I was only harping on people's perceptions about issues when they come up. Some don't believe anything meaningful could happen, until it eventually happens. I used dubai as an example. I have a documentary book about dubai. How US and Co first faulted their plans. Some said nothing good could come out of a desert, saying its a waste of resources. UAE first sank their oil money in the development of Dubai, not the west. Which west would go to the Arab countries to invest in those days? Their presence in saudi was because of their oil. The west, especially Germans came after they saw that they were making huge progress. UAE went and signed an agreement with them on infrastrucal development. Saudi Arabia, the US ally also stayed aloof. Now, Saudi is trying to promote tourism too, after seeing UAE prosper.

That said, those military Juntas aren't saying they'd be there for life. I've read widely about them. They'd still leave but not until after sanity and some structures are in place. West isn't doing africa any good bro. It's not good to start condemning juntas until after they're done with their plans of rebuilding their countries. Military in Nigeria was a disaster. They had every opportunity to make Nigeria great but everyone was fighting for their selfish interest, just as we have today. Amazingly it's still same people in government today.

Read about Jerry rawlings of Ghana. Maybe you'd have a different opinion. The same west criticised him african leaders and activists weren't left out. See Ghana today, their gdp has left ours behind. It's not magic bro. When last did you see Ghanaians whom we call ejika ni shop last (those carrying sewing machines upon their shoulders and moving around to mend clothes)? They've all returned home.

I got your point but there are few issues that you need to either rethink or revisit and take a second look at while reading it. Maybe then you will see where I am coming from, let me reiterate some of my points:

1. How did Saudi and Co sank their money into building their land? I agree that Saudi spent their money developing their land but the question is how? The how is where the western interest came in. You should ask yourself who are the holder of the majority of Saudi and Emirates debts from oil sales? How are the debt holders offsetting it? The majority of the companies that were responsible for building the infrastructures and that provided consultancy services are from where? If they are from a certain areas that means that the revenue realized from this ventures are being funnel back where? By the time you answer some of these questions it will become clear to you how the west are invested there. Of course the west used their propaganda to dissuade other would have been investor so they can have more favorable deals. Bros it was because of their investments there that instead of bombing Saudi Arabia where the majority of the 9/11 attackers were from, rather they shifted their attention to Iraq and Afghanistan that had nothing to do with it.

As for the juntas, people make their comments based on histories and observations in all the military juntas that have come and gone in Africa, you only were able to mention one successful one. If the majority failed isn't it logical to assume that this one will follow the same trend?

On a personal level I don't think a revolutionary from the same class as the oppressor can in essence be of any use to the oppressed.

If you have the time you should read these two books: And the weak suffer what they must, the pedagogy of the oppressed.

ok i am trying to focus but I hate when people just try to make us think that Burkina Faso has transformed since military took over. They cannot come just tell lies and mislead people with zero stats to show.

anonimi:

It's simple,when such people come out to run,they can easily be recognised eg Natasha akpoti vote them in.shikena

Kobojunkie:

Facts are lived experiences,if my parents had good times in the military, is that not a fact?

Lol can you listen to yourself. Did people not like Buharis leadership? Did he do well in your opinion? Did Tinubu not campaign to continue the legacy of Buhari….lol. Can you mention this legacy? When we ask for stat to show how wonderful Buhari performed…lol we were told na statistics we go chop…. Since Tinubu won can you not see that a lot of people are still praising him even though all the stats shows his performance is woeful? Tinubu Team are coming out to tell us that same Buhari that they told is the best for 8 years are telling us that Tinubu is cleaning up his mess….please don’t ever come tell us people like him so there for he is performing because we also have a disaster that destroyed for 8 years and yet his people love him. Do you love Buhari? You cannot tell us his people that do not have freedom of expression love him. They love him but you guys cannot produce a single statistics to show his performance

babasolution:

So, the opinons of your parents, that limited unverifiable pool, is where you choose to draw your facts from?

This power hungry guy created a special agency for propaganda and put his brothers in charge. No free press, they simply control whatever information they want you hear outside.

SadiqBabaSani:

Oh, so he's not making progress since he took power several months ago, but 63 years of French control without progress was better, right?

These Fulani mugs with slavery mindset are the reason Africa is still bound.

Ahmadu Bello once said, "we will use willing tools to achieve our agenda to conquer."

So I perfectly understand your position on this. Slavery is better than freedom, according to your reasoning.

Cool.

spiSeyi:
This guy media gragra is too much , only those in the neighboring Ivory-Coast & Ghana can account for the miserable lives of Burkinabes . Is it not the same French who colonized Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, Rwanda and some European countries can't stand this countries in terms of development. Blame game is the major reasons for the backwardness of Black African community. He is no different from the power hungry & selfish leaders who have improvirish Burkinafaso

You have said it all.

Kobojunkie:

It's an evident fact because they experienced it,and it was good to them despite being village commoners,they don't feel the same for the current situation

Princedapace:
The west has tremedous influence on ur leaders o. Baba u need to dig deep o and understand the global politics. I wish I can tell u more.

Please you people shut up abeg. They have tremendous influence yet Nigeria still went ahead to make laws to imprisons gays right? They have tremendous influences and yet we have deals with China to build our train. They only have tremendous influence when you want to paint them terrorist. The question is who is celebrating the releases of repentant boko haram? Who is campaigning for Boko haram to be paid and compensated like ex Niger Delta militants. Is it the west? I ask again is it the west. I am sure it is the west that ask bello to transfer 720k dollars, it is the west that makes your power minister to divert 22 Billion naira meant for power and it is also the west that Is responsible for ministry of Humanitarian…..lol they ask Buhari to create the ministry so they siphon our common wealth…. Lol. You guys should be ashamed of yourself sometimes but reading nonsense conspiracy theories will just block your senses

SadiqBabaSani:

Tunibu Is the one making progress, slave

More than 50% of uranium deposit is located in just 3 countries,Australia, Kazakhstan, and Canada. No African country can compete with any of those 3 countries in terms of uranium deposit.

I wont be surprise if you're also accusing some people in far away continents of creating Boko Haram and IPOB in Nigeria

.

They have all these yet ensure that the French and the US ensure that they control the Uranium deposits in Niger. I am sure you get this your information from the media approved and paid for by them.

Racoon:
Captain Ibrahim Traore is in the class of Late Captain Thomas Sankara and Late Major Patrick Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu. Gallant revolutionary soldiers! See as the capone holstered his pistol with readiness for action at any instance. No time for any shitty motherfucker that does anyhow.

Do not insult people Gallant soldiers like Thomas Sankara and Ibrahim Traore by putting them in same sentence with the traitor Nzeogwu. I know what you are trying to do here and can assure you your lies wont fly.

KingOfAllIgbos:
I was in Burkina Faso 2x for work this year alone .. 3x last year, even in the middle of a coup that was quietly squashed.

I can confidently tell you this guy is just super good on propaganda. An expert at blowing hot air.

Believe less 20% of what you see here.

Let me dig pictures of Monument of Martyrs & Thomas Sankara Monument that I took without me in it.... to prove it.

I laugh everytime he's praised. 🤣 The media there is tightly regulated to say only what Government wants.

Go to Guinea Conakry too, yes cleaner & more disciplined BUT no Internet without VPN for EVERYONE

Youth in Burkina Faso who criticise him or disprove his lies are sent immediately to the war front.

Most French colonies are small, easy to manage, everyone has ID cards so if you write nonsense online, it takes authorities a very short time to pick you up.

PS : last picture is a stock picture, not mine. Monument of Martyrs.

I understood your point on the western involvement in developing UAE. I'd summarise the whole scenario with a proverb which says, Eni ba maa daso ro ni, tara ę lan koo wo. This literally means, he who would buy you a clothe to wear, you first look at the one he's wearing (to know if he's qualified to buy you clothes or not) .

Now, back to my proverb, UAE didn't see any western country when they started developing their cities. They used the proceeds from oil and their own human resources. Their children were sent to school overseas to study in various fields needed back home and they developed UAE when they came back, same with Saudi. The oil companies working there were like our shell and chevron, whose mission was to explore and make profit. You can check it , dubai first train was built with their own wealth and people before the fast speed train was built by the west. Indians too helped as expatriates in the first railway project.

Later on, when oil was drying up and they needed to diversify into tourism and build a western environment that would attract westerners. That was when they now approached the west on collaboration for infrastructural development and they shared the proceeds. The loans they took in building Dubai called the Abu dhabi wealth funds were still generated from among themselves, not from the west.

On the juntas, one cannot assume they're unserious cos of their antecedents on the continent. Let's wait and see where they'd end up first before condemning them. Things are changing. This is the first time junta would say to the west hey, take your aides and leave our country alone. China did same remember? If the west should sanction them, they go the China or Russia route.

You should understand that Dubai and UAE did not build their cities like the Germans did that does not mean that they didn't conceive the idea of the future they wanted. My point is that they understand the mentality of the west and rather than antagonzing them, them allowed them to be partners in their development. It is a case of if you can't beat them you join them. As for the Indians you were referring to those are purely hands men, whose earnings are pale compared to the amount of money the western engineers, architects and consultants and security experts made and repartriated home. Also you didn't remember the military investment from the west. The UAE is one big investment pot for the west. Have you seen the west castigating them on their stance on lgtbq or other human right records?

As for the so called revolutionary history has shown that it is extremely difficult for a true and successful revolutionary to come from the same "pot" as the oppressed in which they claimed to have over thrown.

In my opinion ditching the west for the east is just a case of replacing one slavery rider with another. But like you said time will tell.

HilcomTech:
Which Nzeogwu are you talking about? Chukwuma Nzeogwu was a betrayer


Chukwuma Nzeogwu's father was a gardener in Sardauna's house and Chukwuma Nzeogwu practically grew up in Sardauna's house which was why he knew every nooks and cranny of the house.

To make matters worse, it was Sardauna that helped Chukwuma Nzeogwu into the army because Chukwuma Nzeogwu was too short and he got disqualified based on his height. When Sardauna heard that, he contacted the army officer in charge of recruiting and told him to include Chukwuma Nzeogwu into the list and also used a northern slot for Chukwuma Nzeogwu which was why they had to add Kaduna to Chukwuma Nzeogwu's name.

The name Kaduna needed to be added at the point of recruitment to establish Chukwuma Nzeogwu as a notherner since his names were Igbo names.

Many northerners see Chukwuma Nzeogwu killing of Sardauna as the worst kind of betrayer since it was Ahmadu Bello that raised him and established him in the army only to be killed by the same Chukwuma Nzeogwu. That is why a northerner will never support an IIGB0 man for presidency.

When will you stop all these beer parlour lies even with the internet at your fi ger tips.

Kindly inform Raoon to relocate to Burkina Faso to enjoy the dividends of the Junta in power, I bet you he wouldn't survive one day with his diarrhea mouth.
