I want to see how they will twist this to smear Tulumbu and Nigeria and paint Traore as the best thing to ever come out of Africa.

I can't even imagine how much this guy is spending on influencers all over Africa to push propaganda. The sad thing is that Nigerian influencers are among those paid - Tayo Aina and co; many Odordients influencers just jumped on the trend without pay for obvious reasons; they effortlessly manipulating our youths to believe the lies and deceptions coming out of Burkina faso. In what world is Burkina Faso better than Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, even Ghana? In what world is a soldier who took power via coup good for the people? Buhari died days ago; while alive and after his death, many people said a lot of bad things about him. How many of them were arrested or assasinated? You fit try am as a Burkina Faso citizen and not disappear? It's a pity. And those they effortlessly trapped are majorly from the camp of Major General Him Tu Lie.

An election where people's vote won't count, does it has any difference from dictatorship? Is Inec not been dictated as to who to announce as election winners? In as much as I hate military junta's; here in Africa democracy offers so little

Most of them are kids and are just opening eyes to word politics, they don’t know that every tyrant start as a freedom fighter and pretend like anti western bloc. That Traore go spend more than 30 years for that place and new generation will be laughing as we are laughing some Africa leaders that hold on to power for more than 30 years

Let's not deceive ourselves....there is no where in the world where all these things you mentioned are cheap, if we really want a good life, it won't come cheap. Education and health don't come cheap. What we should clamour for is the standard of living of an average man should be elevated, am average man should earn well to be able to achieve those stuff you mentioned cause they won't come cheap.

rinzaugustine:
Traore is acknowledged to be performing well by his people so it’s up to them to decide. The basic aim of elections is to have good governance and not that Africans particularly like that concept. If tinubu had come in and brought dollar down to less than 200 naira, fuel down to less than 100 naira, used technology to defeat terrorism and kidnappings to barest minimums, fixed federal highways, citizens getting electricity at least minimum of 8-10 hours everyday…nobody would care about 2027 or what he does in 2027 but his dismal failure the worst in Nigerian history have pushed majority of Nigerians looking up 2027 as a hope of redemption from tinubu

They don’t want to hear that at all. They only want to stay in Nigeria and be telling whoever cares to listen that Burkina Faso is the best thing since slice bread.

Anyway sha, I really don’t blame them. Majority of them did not witness the brutality of military rule in Nigeria. They never lived through the maradonic era of IBB and the evil regime of Abacha. They know nothing about how folks like Bola Tinubu and others fought for the democracy they now enjoy.

You think they say those things because they really believe military rule is best?? cheesy

That is just something they say to express the anger they feel. They are not to be taken seriously.

Just replace duck with dictator in the above statement.

Western imposed "democracy" has taken us far in Nigeria, hasn't it? We're enjoying this democracy and our strong electoral structure is the envy of the world.

A country liberated itself from decades of colonialism, common sense dictates that its institutions, including electoral system needs to be built or reformed from ground up but this one is spewing duck allegories.

Quack quack, let's quack our way into 2027. Rinse and repeat. Quack from behind keyboard while Nigeria's future is auctioned off cheap to foreign interest.

The "best president in Africa" is afraid to test his popularity on the poll, hence forcefully hijacked the electoral commission.

If Traore truly believe that his people love him as his propagandists claim, let him call for an election and contest as a civilian, just like Yahya Jammeh of Gambia did. He is just suppressing the people with fire power grin

The guy has done the right thing by sacking the entire corrupt electoral team. Does that mean a set of credible team will not be assembled to replace them? Wether you propaganda team of Tinubu likes it or not, as at today, this man in uniform is a better performer than your daddy Tinubu, and he's well loved by his country people. It's high time we fired Yakubu and his corrupt electoral team as well. The only thing Tinubu is banking on to remain in power beyond 2027 is the Inec's abracadabra. If there would be a free and fair election in 2027, Tinubu can NEVER score more than 10% of the total votes. You his propagandists will have a very difficult job to do in 2027, I wonder how you want to package rotten and maggot infested tomatoes 🍅 for sale?

Burkina Faso's military rulers have disbanded the country's electoral commission calling it a waste of money.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyzj2k2pmvo

Postponed till 2029? That's how the military dictator in Nigeria, IBB kept shifting the electoral transition timeline and had to be forced to conduct the June 12 1993 elections after running out of any ideas. Then he had no choice but to leave after the annulment of that election which I took part in as a voter and then introduced a lame interim Federal Government... The rest is history.

Very uncanny and unintended consequences occur in these kind of scenarios which is the usual strategy of military dictatorships to hang on to power.

Better. France wants to use the process to come in true corrupt politicians.
China doesn't have democracy. The 4 Asian giants don't.
Africa most stay away from democracy in order to develop. The west use democracy to destabilise other countries. UK practice Monarchy, use thier parliament to make and change laws every day against immigrants whom they sold democracy to destabilise thier home countries. Denmark, Canada na Monarchy disguised as democracy. Many African countries are fighting endless wars due to trying to introduce democracy which the west use to destroy the country so they can get cheap mineral resources with thier useless worthless papers in form of Dollars, Pounds and Euro. Better African countries sell thier resources through trade by Barter so we know who has more values.
See how Lybia is since they wanted to bring in democracy.
Apartheid was good for South Africa.
Nigeria in 2023 Presidential election was hijacked by foreign powers order wise it was a SCAM.

First it was Guinea, now Burkina Faso.
Imagine postponing election 5 years ahead so the coup leader can later become president.

This was how Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, Gnassingbé Eyadéma of Togo, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, who took power in a 1979 coup and he's still in power today and others all came into power
