Traore is not Thomas Sankara, pls let us be measured. Sankara wasn't involved in media suppression and Russian media manipulation.

Sankara didn't have a major insurgency he was failing to address. Sankara was perhaps too naive.

Traore is an upgrade to Sankara. He capitalized on the obvious weakness of Sankara to thwart the efforts of the French.

That's what patriotic leaders do: improve on their strengths and solve the weakness of their predecessors.

No disrespect to Thomas Sankara and Ibrahim Traore.

When u see a leader who has vision u go know..here na corruption riddled leaders we get and they no dy hide...

Exactly, not telling you that you should be patient indefinitely. When you are building a house, every stage of progress will be both visible and tangible, not telling you that you should wait and that the materials to build the house are on the way.

They scrape it off as it floats to the surface.

Reheat again and then float whatever is left.

The only thing is polishing the gold bars that modern goldsmiths are perfect at.

Other than that, nothing high tech.

Agreed nothing high tech in the process.
If they can get their energy use right it is not complex

Which part of may "democracy" never find its way back to Burkina Faso again is your brain struggling to process?

You guys have no clue in what you are calling for.

Military rule has never ever tolerated the slightest bit of constructive criticism.

You dare not complain


So to see idiotes in this present day abusing their democratically enshrined constitutional rights to protest for military take over only shows the level of stupidity that abounds in this millennium and Gen Z ret@rds.

Go and ask those who lived through military rule the harrowing state of existence life was before democracy returned.

Then there's getting 99.9% 24k purity and ensuring each bar is exactly sorted into the right weight category.

Maybe this gold refinery is automated to operate efficiently to use less energy and to ensure highest QC in gold standard bullion and weights for international market standards.

Other than that, nothing sophisticated in gold refining.

FSBoperator:
Gold refining is still as rudimentary as it was 5,000ys ago.

All you need is a blast furnace hot enough to melt the ore and from there scrape the impurities that float to the surface.

The reason the Sahel is what it is today - open desert shrub land , is because the people cut down nearly all the trees that made the place a woodland savannah to fire up the furnaces that dotted every where.

Mansa Musa's gold came from mines across the Sahel which he mined gold using slave labour and he is responsible for why the Sahel is a desert shrub land because he had almost all the trees cut down.

The Sahel used to look more like Abuja vegetation but too much tree felling meant for the furnaces destroyed the fragile eco system.

Oga, the Sahel and the Sahara desert is cyclical natural phenomena called the Milankovich cycle. It will return tropical in another 10,000 years as it was before. Has nothing to do with firewood. Be informed.

France and USA right now

Who can remind me the name of this movie that year abeg?

Many of the people comparing Nigeria dont even know Nigeria has a functioning gold refinery already .SMH.

Nigerians are terrible people. It's the same thing Iranians did and the western powers have to tag them terrorists through the back door using Satanyahu scope of religious war sentiments. Every nation has to control their resources independently without foreign interference. Africans watch your back and never support wars irrespective of religious affiliations. Gaddafi was labeled a terrorist and African Christians bought the narrative until social media exposed the truth lately. It will take another long time for Africans to believe Israel and America are telling lies against Iranian leaders to justify killings. Religion is Africans' source of division hence the setback in developing

"Terrible" is an understatement. Millions are ignorant and conditioned, believing their friends is their enemy and vice versa. Sadly, the realisation that the imperialists are not their friend will not happen in my lifetime. Nigerians especially have been captured completely.

I'll revert to the saying that "a bird born in a cage would think flying free in the wild is a disease". If you try to free the bird from its captivity, it may peck you. That's Nigerians for you - they'll fight you if you fight FOR them.

BondRiv:
It depends on what the U.S. interests are in those countries. Countries subservient to it are not a threat. Your people can be behind you and the U.S., through the CIA will assassinate you. Go and do some research on this. The U.S. doesn't care about democracy or good governance, so long as it serves their "interests". Only an unformed person will think the U.S. has good intentions for any country. It only wants to maintain its hegemony at all cost. These are all documented. The existence of the CIA alone and their actions ends this whole argument. Go and be informed.

The generality of Africans are yet to understand that their infrastructural,scientific and technological advancement is in itself,a declaration of war towards the western states

Blunt99:
Leadership is intent after all, irrespective of military or civilian.

Intent, compassion, empathy, and love for ones country is the bedrock of good leadership.

This alone showed that we hate this country (Nigeria) and doing everything within our power to destroy it.

That includes:

- Looting the treasury to 0
- Looting the loans to negative.
- Supporting those who do the above to get our own share of the crime.
- Hiding the ills of the above people and tag it patriotism.
- Playing tribal politics even with obvious incompetence.

And many more.

We hate Nigeria, and that is why we are regressing and will keep regressing as a people and a country.

It's an established fact. Even Singapore first prime minister said it about Nigeria wayback.

The issue, tribes did not come together and agreed to form a country and to decide how to govern. It was imposed on us by colonial masters.

Nigeria seems like a place individuals and as tribe go to hunt for their share.

What is Dangote refinery refining is it palm oil ?
And before Dangote refinery or NNPC refineries (which collapsed due to subsidies), small refineries owned by Shell and Mobile were operating in places like Bonny long before the civil war.

You failed to answer the question about gold refining here, why?

Thanks to PDP deregulation politicians who licensed Dangote refinery, when wicked APC leaders looters were playing politics with our wellbeing in 2012.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x5IMzjHPug


What small Shell and Mobil refineries are you talking about? Is this the typical balablu bulaba propaganda lies of APC people?

Finally, is Tinubu paying subsidy illegally because he wants to collapse Dangote refinery?

NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024

November 26, 2025

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.

This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.

The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.

According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.

85% of the country is under Jihadist control.

The Russians are the only ones keeping the Jihadists from overrunning the capital.

Those same Jihadist were just 5km from the capital city a few months ago before the Russians drove them off.

Those Jihadists are not being tackled by this Social Media tough guy Traore and there's no effort by him to reclaim 85% of the country from the Jihadists that are ruling over those areas.

The failure of Traore not able to secure territorial control on 85% of the country he claims to rule us why Jihadists are having a field day in Nigeria.

The junta in Niger Rep is also not capable of exerting control on nearly 90% of its territorial sovereignty .

The failure of these two military juntas is what was fueling bandits and terrorists infiltrating Nigeria and sending weapons to their co terrorists in BH, ISWAP and Fulani criminal bandits.

You guys are as naive and ignorant of the real situation playing next door .

Only a handful of Russian Spetnav special forces and Wagner Group mercs are protecting the junta in Ouagadougou.

If they leave, Traore will be on the first Russian evac aircraft .

That is definitely how it is,

the only solution, which is division, some sections still stand against it,

because it is going to deny them of their extortion, including extortion by global powers, which is why they continually stand against any breakup.

The last three paragraphs are nothing but receptacle for the recycle bins.

Let the government of Nigeria take responsibility by defeating these bandits and stop depending on external forces.

Russia and Burkina Faso are in collaboration. Their business is not our business.

Every country should take responsibility of it's territorial space. If you wanna do collabo, that's their business.

You are the naive one here.

They would soon have a need for democracy

Reference:
Oga, the Sahel and the Sahara desert is cyclical natural phenomena called the Milankovich cycle. It will return tropical in another 10,000 years as it was before. Has nothing to do with firewood. Be informed.

The Sahel was once open woodland savannah .

It occupied the edges of a great lake that dried up.

The tree felling occured faster than it could be replaced.

The harsh and prolonged dry season ,with strong desert winds eroding what was left of fertile topsoil made it impossible for natural vegetation replenishment even grass is had to grow.

The EU is investing in planting grass beds protected from the harsh strong desert winds by using rock barriers to protect the top soil and prevent the grass root system from being blown off by the Saharan winds.

The stones are also used to help prevent heavy flood erosion that occurs during the very brief but intense rainy season.

The Sahel is what it is today because of over felling of trees that helped protect the top soil and vegetation from both flood and wind erosion

Pic related is the grass planting project the EU is carrying out in the Sahel.

The Sahel is what happens when there's zero environmental management .

These bandits and terrorists now have safe havens in large swaths of Niger Republic .

If Nigeria decides to push into Niger Republic to bomb these terrorist camps, the hopeless junta in the capital in Naimey will be the first to scream .

Don't you recall how the junta in Mali (another meme junta) detained a Nigerian Airforce aircraft going to Europe that was forced to declare an emergency landing in a Malian aerodrome?

These guys have no clue on what they are doing.

They have bunched together because they are the only military junta in West Africa and they have come to see other West African countries calling for the reinstatement of democratic rule as their greatest enemies.

Like every military junta, the trio in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Rep are only interested in holding on to power for themselves.

You don't know about Thomas Sankara evidently. Maybe you should go read about him and what he was able to accomplish in very little time.

Traore is living a bit of a lie, free media has already been curtailed in the country rightly or wrongly but free speech doesn't exist anymore in the land of the upright people

While in the same West Africa one Agbado sifu and his minions are shouting NELFUND,Adire for Nysc and Akara business

Israel only sent them kosher cracker biscuits which had zero nutritional value and compounded the kwarshiorkor epidemic .

Same Israel was secretly selling weapons and intel to the Nigerian govt.

Go and read on how Israel played a double game during the civil war by openly supporting Biafra but secretly selling weapons and intel to the Nigerian side.

Only France stood 100% behind Biafra.

The Vatican only sent their rapists priests to rape the now orphaned children.
