Mitch McConnell just fell while walking down the hall of Congress last week. Trump is not going anywhere in 2028; that dictator is going to run again and will do anything to stay in power. The US is slowly becoming the new Africa.
Imagine they are using gerrymandering to win elections? Imagine the Lagos state government rewriting the electoral maps to favor them before an election? It's worse than rigging.

Paul Biya is too old and should give way to others, mainly because he has been there for 40 years. I don't subscribe to the noise of "only in Africa or Nigeria".
Trump can't run again

The American constitution limits the presidency to two terms. It was finalized by an amendment in the early 1950s. Before , USA presidents could run for as many terms as they wanted, but most chose not to do more than two terms ( except FDR).

If trump wants to run again, he would have to get the constitution amended, a process which can take 2-10 years, even longer. And I doubt he got the votes to get there.

But Boss you saw what happened with Biden, during the end of his term. Governance should be for sharp, working minds. Trump is still very sharp at 79, he will be leaving office at 82 and has made it clear he does not want a third term, not even as Vp. Biya will be 100 when he retires.
I completely agree with you sir.

I just don't believe it's fair to make it about age. It shrinks the democratic space and gives a general entitlement to less qualified people within age bracket we think is ideal.

If a younger person wants it then he or she must earn it. It's my opinion though.

Buhari and Tinubu were one stronghold behind thsi man's studded evils

I am aware of the transcendence between them in order to suppress any possible agitation against him from the southern region since the days of Buhari till today

Now, they have planted the die-hard wizard again.
Am so sorry for the citizens. If only they have been oil-rich like us, their corruption would have been worse than ours over the years
They have bakassi peninsula, you know right?

I'm not surprised because Cameroun does not have any body to challenge this old man. But I'm again ashamed that the likes of Samuel Eto and other notable personality in Cameroun cannot come out to challenge this old man. Imagine being a president before i was given birth and still remain in power, what a shame to the Cameroonians.

Over 80%, that's more than three quarter.
It is still the same thing we are saying. Over 80% is obviously more than 50%. That's the use of the word "more than". It's mathematical semantics at play.

The aged people there have not earned shit!

A democracy where the greatest qualification is WEALTH rather than Leadership skills, Patriotism and Citizens welfare will never amount to a great country.

Please, don't even bother arguing this common sense fact!

Yeah, under normal circumstances, Trump can't run again, but the US is no longer under normal circumstances. It's a different era. The Supreme Court is in his pocket, Congress is in his pocket; anything can happen now.
Steve Bannon, one of his cronies, just said this week that Trump will run again and that they have a plan. These are the same set of cronies that came up with the Project 25 that Trump is currently running after denying that he has any knowledge of what the agenda was during the election.


usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/10/25/trump-2028-steve-bannon-comments/86897789007/


"Trump is going to be president in ’28, and people just ought to get accommodated with that," he told The Economist on Oct. 23.

Though Bannon, who served a four-month stint in prison last year and has pleaded guilty to separate fraud charges, isn't empowered in the White House like he was during Trump's first term, he indicated there are "many different alternatives" for keeping his former boss in the presidency.

"At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is," Bannon said. "But there is a plan."

Alex80s:
Ike gwuru !!! "You can only rig election where you popular". So the people around that know you will help you rig the election or he rigs because he controls whole people involved in the election including security??

Some people talk as if their brain has been removed.

So , he is the only one who can bring the dividends of democracyhuh?
A whole generation has been denied alternative ideas, ways and means to a better life.

Had it been that Cameroun was leagues ahead of where it was in 1982, a prosperous, developed country then one can remotely reason this aberration. but it remains as 3rd world-ish, as backward as every typical sub-saharan enclave or fiefdom.

But that is the feudal mindset.
It forces the people to imagine there is nothing better. That the sufferings are inevitable, unavoidable and condemns them to live in the image of the despot.

Just like we have today in Nigeria.
Today we are forced to think there is no better way to solve or problems of economy or security or institutional decay or structure.

But democracy is a battle of ideas freely expressed and debated without coercion, with the people being the judges of the talent show.

Today with Arsenal on top everyone is breaking contract and signing for the Gunners not minding there is little left with which to compete with, little left to draw out debate and foster ideas. Who then will pay hefty the DSTv fees to view a one team or one person contest.

That's Bannon speculating.Plus he fell out with trump ages ago

To amend the constitution to allow him run for more terms, he needs a two thirds vote in Congress which kicks things off, then two thirds of states assemblies.

Which is not as easy as it looks.

Supremes may be in trump's pocket, but most of them are literalists. They won't give trump another term

Also he should have started the process by now.
