His dreams have finally come true

Goodlady:
I sit down here jejely. No look for my trouble.

watin this comment mean

CaseSensitive:
Madagascar is one of the poorest country in the world, just as poverty is consistent in majority of other France's colony in Africa.

I wish him success as long as he deliver the will of the people of Madagascar and follow in the footstep of the brave leaders of the Sahel.

How come we are the world champions of extreme poverty despite oil wealth and not being colonised by France

mohbadliveson:
Military era is gradually coming back to africa. We must not allow it in Nigeria

That's what we need since the politicians have failed us

The lightskins are the ones always rulling that country..
In Africa..

This one is Vietnamese 🥱

The pertinent question is why is it always in countries colonized by the French?
Madagascar was colonized by the French, so is Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger..
Some time ago, I took interest in that country and decided to check them out in Youtube,
boy that country is stinkingly poor and in a very state of despair.
My thought was that it will be closer or similar to Seychelles in terms of development.

and it's surprising because islands tend to do well, because they are just for themselves alone surrounded by the ocean.
England put their unwanted criminals and Irish persons they termed termed criminal in jail and shipped them far off to an island end of the world. Now Australia. See Australia and New Zealand today.
Even cape Verde off the coast of Senegal is doing well.
Madagascar by location has the potential of being very developed. See another island in Africa like Seychelles tourist destination

Attachment of sensationalism. People want to attach the Biblical Joseph to every prisoner, like prison is a criteria for good leadership. SMH.
FYI, Joseph was not inciting a mutiny and planning a coup. He was falsely accused because he refused to sin against God. He was not a politician in any form.

I tire.
Like TA Orji
Like Omisore
That won elections while in prison

They, military rulers, often begin in a benign, convivial and patriotic down-to-earth manner only to end up becoming very brutal dictators.

One can only hope that this "Mandela of Madagascar" would prove the world wrong.

No matter what, I would continue to insist that military rule is an aberration.

That's why no soldier or group of soldiers can overthrow a civilian government in the USA, the UK or other organized societies.


Only in Africa and the 3rd World do one find this bland abnormality.

I guess you're right, Islands often have the potential to do well due to their distinct ecosystems, resources, and maritime access. But what truly determines success isn’t geography alone, it’s how a country’s political and economic systems evolve after colonialism.

Take Australia, for instance. Yes, it’s prosperous today, but its prosperity was built on colonisation, displacement, and the near-erasure of Aboriginal Australians, who had lived there for tens of thousands of years before the British arrived. The original inhabitants were massacred, dispossessed of their land, and subjected to policies that tried to erase their culture. So Australia’s “success story” also carries a dark colonial legacy that is still being reckoned with today.

In contrast, countries like Madagascar, Senegal, or Niger didn’t inherit wealth, infrastructure, or autonomy from their colonial masters, they inherited dependency structures. France maintained deep economic and political control long after “independence,” especially through mechanisms like the CFA franc and strategic influence over national policies.

So while Madagascar indeed has massive geographical, cultural, and economic potential, the issue isn’t its location; it’s the systemic legacy of exploitation and dependency that France (and others) designed to keep such nations weak and reliant.

If Randrianirina genuinely intends to break from that legacy and prioritise the Malagasy people’s welfare and sovereignty, then his success could mark a turning point not just for Madagascar, but as part of the broader wave of African self-determination we’ve seen growing in the Sahel.

Also I guess Seychelles is doing well because its population is only about 100,000 or so with limited natural resources so there's no point in Britain meddling in their affairs or planting a puppet regime. They are also dependent on tourism and service economy. They don't have natural resource like that.

Cape Verde too don't have much resources either, that's why they're stable. Madagascar on the other hand has a lot of resources and strategically important to France for that reason and other reasons such as the Southeastern coast directly along key Indian Ocean shipping lanes that connect the Middle East (oil/gas routes), the East African coast and Southeast Asia. Whoever has influence in Madagascar has a vantage point over sea routes vital for global trade and energy supply. So in essence, and as history and our current realities has shown us. There are usually unrests, poverty, insurgencies, regime change on African countries with resources.

the former leader was a youth leader.
e be like say the man be big time olodo

UkoAnnang:


Madagascar don follow

Small small bad leadership go end in Africa

More reasons why we should all stand against Tinubu on is so calls presidential pardon ad this could lead to revolution.

France has lost another country, congratulations to the citizens of that country

We had democracy before colonialism.

How is Britain and its hereditary head of state and monarch more democratic than old Oyo empire

He said "WEST" which includes USA, Canada, Germany and many other Western countries camouflaging Democracy.

Oyo Empire wasn't and isn't a Democratic society. No Nigerian Pre-Colonial society practiced Democracy. While the Igbos, Tiv, Idoma, Anang etc practiced Non Centralized system which could be fondly called Republican, the likes of Oyo, Sokoto, Benin etc were purely Monarchical.

PS: Britain practiced Parliamentary system of government, not Democracy, and that was why Nigeria started with Parliamentary system of Government immediately after the Independence before the coup.

"When the children refused to learn from History, what happened in 20 years ago will repeat itself in the next 20 years"

The saying is right. African States desperately and prematurely jumped on Democracy without considering the fact that we are multi-ethnic society with multifaceted cultural inclination, now Democracy has caused more harm in the continent than any system of government. However, inasmuch as I applaud the revolutionaries, I am worried that the fundamentally corrupt ideology will continue with these new crop of leaders. I haven't seen much difference in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger etc.

Mirasteel:
Nigeria when?

Nigerian youths are unserious and army is very corrupt.

wetin u dey wait for? Light the protest, we dey ur back walahi.

PepeXKermit:
In the last 60 years, what has democracy achieved in aafrica? The problem with many of you is that you have been so brain washed by the west to believe that their way of life should be the same way of life you will lead...

Well military rule was tried and was a huge fault Nand huge failure

mohbadliveson:

You and who is the "we"?

Oga speak for yourself!

What's the difference between khaki boys and these bloody civilians in agbada? As it stands now khaki is far better.

Na this kind news dey make OUK to dream

Mirasteel:

You want people to kpai unnecessarily, what did the endsars protest achieve? OR the countries that protested and changed their leaders, what have they achieved or youve gone to their countries and seen the citizens just enjoying without working.

All these shenanigans is what brought Military dictatorship into Nigeria which took Nigeria backwards for several years.

wunmi590:

If history is anything to go by, military governments don't end bad leadership, they worsen it.
