It's obvious that these four countries have lost their sovereignty and they are not being controlled by Russia.
Lost their sovereignty and not being controlled by Russia?!!

...Or did you mean "NOW"?!!

This same court that used a French judge to rule that Bakassi Peninsula belongs to Cameroon instead of Nigeria, thereby handing over an area inhabited by Nigerians that is extremely rich in hydrocarbons to a former French colony, only for French Oil Majors to start oil explorations in this area immediately after...

A perfect tool in the hands of neo colonialists. Why are Nigerians not pressuring their government to follow suit and renounce this highly compromised court? Millions of Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Libyans, Syrians, Congolese, Iranians, Pakistanis, Venezuelans and co, killed by forces aligned to NATO, yet none of the western perpetrators of these crimes is before the ICC for any charges. It is always the citizens/rulers of the developing world ..

What is Nigeria still doing as a member?

LOOOL, now that's how you spot leaders who want power in perpetuity. Withdraw from ICC, refuse to ever hand over to a civilian government, until revolution and then we blame the West.

Africans.
But USA and Israel are not members of ICC why you wonder to ask yourself why?

I said it, these people know where they are headed.
Dictatorship is what these countries will end up with!
They are clearing their paths to full-blown, unrestrained tyranny. By this action, they have effectively shut down any avenue to hold them accountable for whatever they do henceforth in their respective countries. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Africa has the worst leaders in this world. Just imagine what Paul Biya is doing in Cameroon. The citizens of those 3 countries should take to the streets in protests that they be returned to the ICC.

African leaders should be conscious that they will be punished for their evil deeds. If not, those people are capable of selling off an entire country.
One of the worst leader in Africa is Tinibu

First it was ICJ and not ICC, yellow several ignorant liked your comments
even if it so,
Is Nigerian proved it that, it owned the land, based on colonial era treaty between Britain and Germany? Did ICJ err in that judgement? Because I still don't understand your point, you go to court , you tender evidence and court see you erred, they give judgement against you and the sitting president at that time, accepted the judgement.


Are you insulating that court must favour you, because you are member of one organisation? The way you guys reason ehn, is worrisome.

Stop ranting. Any good judge would have ceded bakassi to cameroon going by the agreement Gowon had with Camerounian govt...whether the judge is french, american, english, chinese or indian. Blame the civil war in Nigeria. Losing bakassi is one negative effect of the civil war which Nigeria will live to regret forever.

As it should be.

Africa should look within and leave those so called international bodies.
The truth is that Africa being third world countries cannot stand on their own without looking up to those advanced countries. In as much as we keep saying Africa is great, Africa is self sufficient and so on....we need to kiss the truth.

Re: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger Withdraw From ICC by CaseSensitive(m):
Well, UN and ICC has long gone past their expiry date especially pertaining to African issues. Trump has recently been talking about sanctioning ICC because of their investigation into Bibi’s war crime in Gaza but it’s Ok to weaponise the same ICC against Putin who has legitimate national security concerns.

Good riddance to ICC in the Sahel states. They serve selective justice that are not in the interests of Africa. Absolutely useless institutions.

The three sensible leaders that did that, why they pressured by their people?

All of them at ECOWAS are good-for-nothing rascals. Who only know how to steal from home to give their masters outside.

Re: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger Withdraw From ICC by Danmisra(m): 9:45pm On Sep 23, 2025
That's did the right thing, because ICC is created in the words of Brasilian president " ICc is created for Africa, Russia ,some Latin American countries that and Asian countries that the west " doesn't like. This is the reason why all the atrocities that which the Americans presidents did ,they have never been arrest warrant, Europe or Israel.
Now that ICC has issued arrest warrant for netanyaho US is completely mad and sanctioning all the ICC judges or workers but still foolish people and emotionally driven idiots didn't see or say anything wrong with all the invasion, killings by the west and its allies simply because they think they people affected are animals like them, so why should they care.
If any arrest warrant is given for any African president they will come to Africa,invade, destroy,exploit everything in that country under the guise of arresting the man, but there is Paul Biya , doing nothing but the west has never called him a dictator cos he is their puppet.
I believe in the nearby future, ICC ,UN will be closed completely, because nations with withdraw from them and set up new ones regionally or another one that is not control by warmonger or NATO or made for witch hunters.
Congratulations to them, now nobody will issue arrests warrant for any of them . I pray Nigeria will follow suit, because all the ICC, UN, IMF, and whatever are never design to help nations in the first place, if you read book or observe well you know that.

YOU ARE WRONG.

Africa has ALL IT TAKES to ''stand on its own''.

Africa ''STOOD ON ITS OWN'' and was PROSPEROUS before the colonial invasion.

We have NEVER needed ''white people'' to survive and thrive in Africa.

UNDERSTOOD?

It is the OTHER WAY ROUND.

It is the WEST that needs AFRICA to survive. It's why they built guns and firearms, and came here looking for people to enslave, to build their countries, and later came again to colonise, to loot our natural resources to build their industries, while selling you a fake white 'lord and saviour' to make you worship them as they rob you.

In fact, if CONGO ALONE decides to HALT exports of Cobalt, the ENTIRE world economy would crash the same week.

DRC is the ONLY COUNTRY ON EARTH with cobalt, an essential mineral used to build computer chips and conductors in every single computer.

Or should we talk about LITHIUM?

Do you know the world is relying on AFRICAN LITHIUM to power the new technological age?

Do you know that LITHIUM valued at over $12 TRILLION was discovered in just Nigeria alone?

Do you know that Elon Musk's TESLA came to NIGERIA begging to be sold raw lithium and Nigeria said NO?

That if you want Nigerian lithium you must build the Lithium battery factories IN NIGERIA?

This world is INTERRELATED.

Africa today is no more isolated. It has powerful allies like China, Russia, India, and Brazil.

Look, you Nigerian youths need to get rid of this idea that the west is the be-all-and-end-all of this world.

You are living in the past, and it's an embarrassment.

If tiny Burkina Faso can tell the west to get lost, AND NOTHING HAPPENS, and in fact their country is now developing faster, what are YOU afraid of as NIGERIA?
