How many African leaders can boost these kind of achievements in 2 years



Can the nation newspaper and other supporters of Tinubu show us similar achievements of Tinubu, within the same time frame

You forgot to mention the prison to land program where prisoners are being trained with agriculture and agribusiness skills and being made to work on farms WITHOUT FENCES to improve the country's food production in exchange for reduced sentences. It is on record that there has not been one recorded prisoner escape since this project began, as even prisoners now feel a sense of belonging and patriotism to their country.

Lies
You are the one parroting French propaganda and you will fail.
You are not a Burkinabe, you have no right to allege the demonstrations in the country were staged.
The French, Americans and Ukrainians must leave AES alone

I have never believed this Traore guy, he should conduct election and usher in democracy, not this propaganda that he is running. Herd mentality is a big issue for the majority of Nigerians, they don't want to be seen expressing a contrary opinion, hence their love for a guy running a dictatorship in his country. For me it's either democracy or nothing. A tenured democracy is a million years ahead of a military government that always wants to rule for life. Countries like Equitorial Guinea, Cameroun and others are examples of countries where their citizens are stuck with a set of bad leaders. In democracy, if a leader is bad, he can always be voted out according to the constitution, but not so for a military government.

This Traore will still be the leader of Burkina Faso in 10 years time except his people rise up and forcefully remove him. Na sit tight syndrome be their issue.

how many threads have you opened to campaign for expulsion of Paul Biya?
go and sleep.

If you guys are all about the good of Africa why don't you start from home, as in hold your own government to at least have regard for life, and allow for freedom of speech.

Military Rulers don't need that support because they can just impose their will whether good or bad

Am sure u are enjoying ur Nigerian elections?

Christistruth02:
They definitely are not
Democratic Rulers leave
Nigeria had Obasanjo,Yaradua, Jonathan ,Buhari and now Tinubu

Military Rulers don't and are easier for foreign powers like Russia to Control and manipulate because they don't answer to the people

They leave?? ..I can see tinubu has left Lagos... Wike has left rivers.....and so on...

they all leave one office and and pull the strings from the back with puppets imposed on the pple.... The fact is the people only have an illusion of selecting leaders......

My Disquiet About Burkina Faso

Hitler once said that with persistent propaganda, one could present hell as heaven and the most wretched life as paradise to a people.

Traore has succeeded in using this tool of the state to court sympathies of the weak and narrow-minded. Yes , he's pretended to astute leadership, with revolutionary veneer, but it doesn't remove the blight that he's a dictator like Paul Kegame of Rwanda- they are both in bed.

I do not see Traore morphing into that messiah that Africa needs. He has to deal with his domestic issues, which are masked away from the rest of the world. He also needs to curtail his excessses. This is what khaki boys or political bandits cannot do, for they are power-driven.

If he's serious about his revolutionary ideas, he must first set in motion a timeline for transition to civil rule, where the rule of law, not the rule of the gun prevails.

Africans never presented Troare as a messiah.. They are just happy he kicked out the French imperialism n for the first a Burkina Faso leader will actually rule the country n not France.

Allow him to rule as he deem fit, he cannot be worse than previous leaders or other democratically elected African leaders.

All these western inspired propaganda against him won't help in anyway instead will actually turn him into a hero because people hate anything western propaganda nowadays.

Besides recent events globally has shown democracy is not a prerequisite for economic development. The best performing economies right now are counties like China, UAE and Qatar. They are not democracy, yet Dubai alone has over 500 thousand western migrants living there due to its abundant economic opportunities.

May Ifa continue to guide enlighten and protect Ibrahim Traore
He just made child birth free across all government hospitals

This sudden interest about Burkina Faso and her brave, courageous and dynamic leader Capt Traore calls for concern.
I wonder why a propagandist newspaper like Nations newspaper will be interested in what happens in far away Burkina Faso in spite of the numerous challenges we have in this country. Something is cooking 🤔

With the explanation above .... is Trump's actions that of a democratic or military leader? ... does the 'label' actually mean anything? ...or the action?

@ topic ....op is talking about the ills of the society that are still there under Traoré .... who is in his third year in power. How long were the French in power? ...what improvements have they made? ..what problems have they caused? Nigeria under democracy ... is it working for the citizens? ... is life getting better? ..or worse?

The colonialised African is the biggest enemy of Africa ... the enemy within.

Hahaha we are in democracy right, how many bad leaders were voted out in Nigeria?

Do you think your vote counts in the next election?

Guy chill, burkinafaso will soon have democracy but first they need to stop French from exploiting them, they take out natural resources and enrich themselves and then turn and call Africa the poorest continent.

I get your point but bro we need our privacy or don't you want that?

In what way has democracy helped your country? "If a leader is bad he can always be voted out?" The way Buhari was voted out after wrecking the country for 8 years and handed over to Tinubu who won the election after the card readers failed to work in multiple polling units and will go ahead to rule for 8 years regardless of how the people score his performance? Did you even realize that by the time Tinubu will round up his second term, about 16 years of your life would e been gone under a clearly flawed APC government? If a leader with his country at heart stays in power for decades like Mao in china, Lee Kwan Yew in Singapore or even Kagame in Rwanda, fixing the country, how is that a problem to the citizen that just wants good governance and not an opportunity to rule? Above all, if Burkinabes are happy with Traore, what right have you a Nigerian and The Nation newspaper to complain? If Traore replaces western supremacy with Russian supremacy how is it The Nation newspapers' business? It just simply means Russia made a better offer on the negotiating table, France should learn the art of negotiation. They should learn to appeal to the interest of the other guy at the other end of the negotiating table, the should learn about win-win. You guys are completely enslaved into thinking western styled democracy is the solution to leadership everywhere. You accuse us of intellectual laziness when it is your type that out of intellectual laziness adopted a completely foreign leadership style and completely refused to develop a bespoke approach to solving the problem of leadership in your country.

Amah70:
Imperialist start their campaign by hiring Western Journalists to destroy the reputation of their target in Africa. .

Next, they buy over the media houses of their target zone, as they have done here.

Burkinabeans are proud of Traore.



Colonialists will now go to fund one section of Burkinafaso and call them rebels.
The rebels will war against Traore govt . But the fighters and bombers are provided by the Imperialists. They will eventually overthrow Traore and make Burkinafaso a country of destitution.

If they overthrow Traore it will quadruple African resistance to western imperialism, and anti-western sentiment will spread in even more African countries and faster.

Africans have opened eye.

No going back.

Thanks so much

Guardian newspaper now the Nation newspaper have taking it upon themselves to demarket Capt Ibrahim Traore.

The truth is even in Nigeria that we profess to be practicing democracy our votes do not count. Our political elites in concert with the umpire saddled with the responsibility of conducting Elections have been subverting the will of the people. Neither has democracy brought about inclusive growth that has ushered in jobs and a stable economy.

Even the basic tenets that democracy espouses and promotes like freedom of speech and assembly has become a taboo in Nigeria under Tinubu. Just days ago, the DSS picked the promotors of a solidarity march for Capt Ibrahim Traore in Edo state. VDM was abducted in a Gestapo fashion by the EFCC. Even the President son ordered the manhandling of a Nigerian citizen over his inability to genuflect to his whims. And the Government is using the cybercrime law to gag journalist and Nigeria.

Are Nigerians really free under the so-called demostration of craze that we call democracy? Your guess is as good as mine.

The way Nigeria is showing fondness for Capt Ibrahim Traore is sending shivers down the spine of the occupant in Aso Rock.

If he doesn't tame the veneration for Traore, the wind of change blowing through the francophone countries in West Africa, might change direction to the anglophone countries as well. Hence the enlisting of the media to whittle down the influence of Capt Traore

Burkina Faso will soon have democracy? You guys I just don't get you! Who brainwashed you into thinking every country has to practice democracy? Gaddafi and Saddam were toppled and democracy introduced to their countries, are they faring better? UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia are NOT practicing democracy yet if their youths go to study in Europe and america, the first thing they want to do upon completion of their programme is return home because there is no amount of comfort obtainable in the west that they cannot access in their country. Let me tell you free of charge, democracy is the biggest scam that has ever been pulled on your continent by the west. It is their most effective tool for putting into power stooges and fools to milk your continent. Traore can rule for 50 years, if he finally brings back democracy, France will return and no Jupiter can stop that!

Whoever wrote this is a Paid Agent.

You're waiting for your masters to send in their fake economic indices before you know whether or not there's an improvement in Burkina Faso. Keep believing the west at the detriment of Africa's emancipation

You don't have nobody in that country, this will be the first time I will be commenting on this Burkina Faso issue, the truth that Traore is only living on propaganda and that's all. If you truly have people there, what they will only tell you is that the country is yet to see any improvement.

And for you first hand info, I have a good number of people there and the report I get from them is that thing are yet to improve. Most of them have hope though

"Most of them have hope though?" Can you say same of most Nigerians? 🤡🤡🤡

You may be right. Because these energy to de-market Capt Ibrahim Traore's Burkina Faso suddenly began shortly after the return trip from France. Something is cooking 🤔

Captain tore is doing well.
They should leave him alone.

What we have here is not democratic rule .
The masses are not allowed to protest in line with the constitution.
