Former Madagascan President Andry Rajoelina, who was ousted in a coup last week, has been stripped of his citizenship by the new regime.

The order, signed by new Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo, cited local laws stipulating that people who acquired foreign citizenship should lose their Malagasy nationality.

Rajoelina, 51, obtained French citizenship a decade ago, prompting calls for his disqualification from the 2023 presidential election. But he defied those calls and went on to win.

He fled the African island nation after weeks of protests over persistent power and water shortages, culminating in a military takeover led by Col Michael Randrianirina.

Rajoelina has said he has gone into hiding for his own safety, and his whereabouts remain unclear.

When he disclosed his French nationality months before Madagascar's last presidential election, he argued he had only secretly acquired it to make things easier for his children studying in France.

In recent weeks, he had faced demonstrations initially organised by youth movement Gen Z Mada and inspired by similar anti-government protests in Nepal, which were only exacerbated when his government responded with violence.

Rajoelina sacked his energy minister and then his government - but this did little to quell the calls for him to step down.

Protesters had hoped that Rajoelina would resign to pave the way for a smooth, democratic transition.

Instead, he clung to power, eventually leading to Madagascar's elite military unit, of which Randrianirina was chief, to seize power.

He has now been sworn in and has formed a new government, pledging to hold elections within two years.

Just look at his response. He acquired the French citizenship to make things easier for his children that were studying in France. Everything about African leaders is about themselves and their families.

There is a new wave of sweeping away politicians out of African soil. It's a good development. If a system is not favourable reversal is the option. Under military in Nigeria, essential commodities are at the reach of d down trodden but now not even in d reach of middle class. Fuel easy community for development was #18 during Abacha. Now it's #980- uncountable statistical different

I doubt petrol was N18 during Abacha's government.

Anyway, how much was the minimum wage? Around 1,200.

A plate of food then was N30. That 1,200 then could buy you 40 plates of food.

Today, a plate of food is N1,000. So, 30 plates of food will be N30,000.

Minimum wage today is N70,000. That will buy you 70 plates of food today.

That means the minimum wage today is twice that in real terms what it was during Abacha's government.

I was a corper when died in office.

I have said it time without number, that Nigeria’s main problem for lack of progress is that the vast majority of its citizens do not understand the democrazy that they practice which has left them in snail pace stagnation, their minds are still in military mentality which the great Fela Kuti tagged colonial mentality,

You have proved my point once again.

A very very Greedy Clown
