Shouldn't African presidents be ashamed of themselves, especially when they travel abroad and see the level of development and civilization out there but can't come back home to replicate the same here?

Walking gingerly behind Sankara in that picture was one Blaise Campoare. He will go ahead to kill his friend Sankara months later, at the behest of the West, especially the then french president Francois Mitterrand. That event set Burkina Faso back by almost 50 years. Blaise Campoare was later chased out of power after almost 30 years as the president of Burkina Faso. There is no significant progress made by Burkina Faso under his rulership.

He is now living comfortably in exile in Cotedvoir. That was after the same french chased out Gbaagbo and imposed a lackey in the person of Alassan Quattarra as the president of Cotedvoir. Quattarras ancestry can be traced to, guess where.... Burkina Faso! And who was used to train and support the forces who invaded from northern Cotedvoir (Southern Burkina Faso) to arrest and disgrace Gbaagbo out of power? Blaise Campoare!

Thomas Sankara is probably the greatest leader in modern African history

He achieved a lot under a very short time

Reality over propaganda

And you know what's very painful in all these? It is the fact that Nigeria and Nigerians were always going out of the way to support some of this imperialist agendas very vociferoussly. You remember how most Nigerians were cheering on as the French special forces under a racist Sarkozy stormed the Ivorian presidential Palace and dragged out Gbaagbo and his wife in the most humiliating way possible. American special forces under Obama were also involved too.

Meanwhile Nigerians whose political agenda/news are set by a mercenary press domiciled along the Lagos Ibadan expressway, were far more upset with Gbaagbo than most Ivorians. We thought we were fight for democracy. Most Nigerians don't know that the the most prominent media houses in this country, are owned by western intelligence agencies, and that most of these folks fronting as local owners, are nothing but local proxies. It is the same thing with the banks.

But why were Nigerian so pissed with Gbaagbo to the extent that a bemused Goodluck Jonathan gave his go ahead for NATO forces to demolish the Ivorian presidential Palace? It was because the presidential elections in that country was said to have been rigged by Gbaagbo and NATO wanted Gbaagbo to respect regime term limits and leave office.

Well, right now Alassan Quattarra is in the middle of an unconstitutional third term! And you hear no whimper from Paris. He has finished serving his two terms and continued with a third term and the French are his biggest supporter!

I remember how we dragged the discussions here then with all these starry eyed Africans who gobble everything thrown at them by the CNN and VOA line hook and sinker, thinking the West was fighting for the Ivorians.

Many Ivorians hate Nigerians because of that event and many of those supporting Quattarra in Cotedvoir are from the northern part of the country that shares the same ethnic background with most of Burkina Faso.

We really need our own CNN and BBC in this country.

By far the most selfless and purposeful leader to walk the face of this continent in recent history. Sankara was Very very patriotic, very very resourceful. Africa lost a gem there.

And most people think it is always easy to replace such leaders. It is not. Getting the right leader to occupy the right position at the right time can be very tricky. It is like having Messi or maradona in every Argentine world cup team. It's a generational thing. Seldom happens twice in a lifetime.

That's why when people like this are killed, the country starts to flounder around. Whether it is Sankara, Lumumba, Nkrumah or even Gaddafi. Assassinating the political prophets of any given society, has always been the surest path to destroy such societies.

It even gets worse when they are replaced with the Campoares, Mobutos, Bokassas and Eyademahs of this world. Characters that won't qualify as gardeners at the presidential compound being foisted on the country by western powers as leaders.

The west has been ruthless in Africa.

The problem has always been the southwest and their love for media propaganda.

They call themselves sophisticated humans .. and most times .. to reason sophisticatedly becomes a problem .. even when is staring at them.

Remember how this matter was dragged even on this site .. with Gbagbo supporters being called names .. egghead , passingshot and other monikers were supporting what they tag .. democracy.. yet none has been to Ivory Coast and understand the people .. and what they want

Same thing happens in Niger republic.. and same people were everywhere bragging on how Tinubu will invade the country …till the people start making mockery of Tinubu.. people of another country..

Anyways .. like I say.. is the people that chose propaganda over reality that are easily deceive ..
they did it to GEJ.. and today all is suffering .

We don’t need our own VOA OR BBC ..

We need a government that appreciate reality over all this propaganda nonsense

Look at Burkina today.. are they not doing better despite their economy..

Southwest wants to be more British than the British

I call them out because is their forming Woke is the bane of everyone wrong in Nigeria and wider west African countries

I can't put it better

Obama and Gaddafi!
Take note of the fact that at this point, Obama knew very well that he will be the one to kill Gaddafi.. This whole visit could easily have been arranged to help give Mr Gaddafi a false sense of security, familiarity and friendship, before the stab...

Hmmmmm, nice one

NA SO LIBYA DEY WAIL NOW!

Sankara before he was killed by NATO allies, same way they killed Patrice lumumba and you'll see some bastard Africans still supporting these evil people who don't want any good for Africa.

That's why I stand with Putin. Enough of neocolonialism and unipolar world order led by the USA.

Nice
