Bolaji Akinyemi should shut the hell up.

See an old man like him full of fear for his fellow man.

No wonder he said Nigeria should not have joined BRICS.

Must have been out of his fear of Trump.

What will Trump do to Nigeria? Invade us because we asserted our rights as an independent nation?

USA can do NOTHING to Nigeria.

As a BRICS nation we are allied to Russia, Brazil, China, India, etc, so unless Trump wishes to start WW3, he knows not to try any shiit with Nigeria.

That is how you should be reasoning Mr Akinyemi, if you weren't paralysed by your colonial fear of anglo-saxon reaction to asserting your rights.
so in ur mind u think China will go to war because of Nigeria lol. Some people are just joke's.

Is this pride not too much for a man who fled the US and forfeited drug money, and who also claims that disclosing his Chicago academic records will cause him irreparable harm? 😂

Just calm down. Even Tinubu won't dispense this pride and courage. You no go fear CIA ke? Dey play?

you are right but what i infer is that the prof is only advising tinubu to choose his battles wisely again i don't even see wetin consain the baba in American politics .we have enough internal and external issues to deal with in nigeria, America is the least of our issues. Akinyemi should stop twerking for Americas attention.if at all their matter concerns us it should be about how their foreign policy will affect nigeria directly or indirectly. That being said everybody should face front

Your own house is burning and instead of you to find ways to quench the fire,you're putting mouth in another man's home affairs.

His name says it all, Cowardice region. But again don't expect any WW3 should America invade Nigeria. No member of BRICS will defend Nigeria against America incursion. It's only going to be the usual UN noise and no action.

I fear for Nigeria and world economy now.

Trump has insisted he is going to dig oil in America.

We all know USA has the largest oil deposit in the world.

Democrats are holding USA back with green new deal that forbid america for mining oil.

Trump himself is a convicted criminal on 34 charges.

Has any of that stopped him? NO.

So why should anything he releases about Tinubu mean anything at all?

He can release any nonsense he likes, it means nothing.

You people forget that Nigeria is now a member of BRICS.

We have major clout, which includes military alliances with major world powers, as a BRICS member.

We have nothing to fear from Trump or anybody today.

Our levels don change.
Trump na convicted criminal abi? Biko help us with your twitter handle and your Facebook handle make we for copy this post you make show all of them join. We go like check something. Make we see if UK you go reach there.

The Prof got that wrong about Trump. Interest drives international politics and diplomacy. Trump just stated the interest of America.

Very well spoken , thank you Sir for this quick call to caution ..
As he's claimed, World most powerful president and my very own country too , African most powerful president ..

PBAT must do everything as told and approach everything he ( Trump ) do diplomatically..

Trump is looking for who will step on his toes and to use his power as president on him and his nation ..

Re: Avoid Confrontation With Trump - Tinubu Advised By Bolaji Akinyemi by Konquest:
[quote author=Bob.loco post=133804396]A Professor of Political Science, Bolaji Akinyemi, has advised President Bola Tinubu to avoid confrontation with the newly inaugurated 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Akinyemi gave this advice on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.

“If I were President Tinubu, I would try to steer clear of antagonising him because there is nothing a bully likes more than taking on people who are not strong enough to resist him.


“You know there is that African proverb that if you are not strong enough to take on a bully and you challenge him, you will only suffer more for it.


“That’s the advice I would give President Tinubu: try to avoid having a confrontation with him, even if that means he does things that annoy or step on the interests of Nigeria. There are ways in which you could address his actions without confrontation,” he said.

The university don, who is a former Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs. NIIA, described Trump’s inaugural speech as uninspiring, shocking, and depressing.


According to him, rather than rallying the world for peace, Trump used his speech to threaten the rest of the world with a bouquet of hostile policies, including taking back the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and engaging in tariff wars, among others.

Akinyemi said the US president would soon learn that there are repercussions to policies and jingoism, stressing that the world is in for a rough ride during the four years of the Trump presidency.


The former Nigerian Minister of External Affairs said Nigeria is no longer a focus for the 78-year-old most powerful president, and that Africa’s most populous nation should not expect anything extraordinary from the Trump presidency.


DAILY POST reports that Trump was sworn in as president on Monday, succeeding Joe Biden, four years after an electoral defeat that truncated his second-term ambition.
https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/20/avoid-confrontation-with-trump-tinubu-advised/[/quote]The former Minister of External Affairs, Bolaji Akinyemi spoke succinctly here and he has always been a very sound international diplomat. I remember him to be one of the shining stars of Nigerian diplomacy back in the 1980s (during "the dribbler's" government) and beyond that military era.

The ride is gonna be a roller-coaster with Trump now in charge. I never supported Trump because among other reasons, nearly every social media post of his sends the financial markets spinning into chaos. On the other hand, If Trump can bring the Russian and Ukraine War to an end, that would be a plus to him because that infamous war further triggered global inflation. This affecting many countries of the world besides the negative aftermath of the Covid-19 lockdown which fueled a disruption in global tourism for many countries that depended on FX from international visitors and it fueled inflation due to massive disruptions in the global logistics and supply chain.

Do care to study the commitments of BRICS to its member nation as a body ,if its involves military ties like those of NATO nations before you conclude that BRICS nations will come to your aid in form of military assistance if there should be any military comfrontation from the USA? And do you know the extent of the military commitment if there is any?
There is NO SITUATION WHATSOEVER under which the USA, even with their madman dictator at the helm, will contemplate attacking Nigeria.

FOR WHAT??

Are you people illiterates?

You're pathetic to even be thinking in this way.

Will Trump also attack other BRICS nations like South Africa and Ethiopia, or is it just Nigeria he will attack, in your little boy, senseless heads?

Just reasoning like children! How old are you people?
