There's a difference between African presidents and African agencies like the AFDB.

Please, don't pollute the discussion with lame comments.

You get brain at all?
is AU not an organization? Does the invitation have anything to do with AU?

AU is an organization, EU is also an organization so as the world Bank and African Development Bank...

EU and others were invited as an organization so if they needed AU, they will invite them as an organization

plaindealer:
No, I asked you to show us the African countries with yearly permanent invitations to the G7.

No one mentioned there was any permanent African countries. You mentioned rotation so you should defend your rotation and the criteria for rotation.

Because if it's by rotation, Rwanda should not go there after 2018 until all other African countries have appeared. You should tell me when Togo. Somalia, Libya and Mauritius was invited due to rotation. You should also tell me why Nigeria have not been invited 2 times consecutively just as Kagame had been and South Africa had been invited.

Why has SA been invited more than any African countries, even the Giant as we always claim

plaindealer:
You are entitled to your own opinion, even to your own manufactured opinion, but facts remain that they rotate invitations regardless of what's going on in any country.

Rotation is the Keyword.

You have to provide a source to where the G7 nations mentioned that they rotate invitation of African countries. And you must be able to tell why they didnt invite any other countries apart from Africans in 2017 when the agenda of the event was Migration

Buckubuck:
You're a waste of space. You and ur lord can show us the rotation list. You're the G7 secretary who just announced the rotation now. Mumu

Dont mind dumb people who cannot point to where they read about rotation of AU affiliation with the invitation.

They can invite AU as an organization just as they invite EU and the African development Bank.

plaindealer:
Kagame won't be invited next year, so, are you ready to repeat the same rubbish that he wasn't invited because of the lack of economic growth and no longer in the limelight?

You can not substitute common sense with hatred and bitterness.

Ofcourse he will not if the agenda of the summit does not involve the discourse in Rwanda. However, Countries are invited with respect to the Agenda of the summit. That's the reason why only African countries were invited in 2017.

Take note of this also, it's not all Crictics of Buhari that are Ipob. Every sane Nigerian knows that Buhari is lifeless and cannot hold an intelligent conversation. Even if he was invited, Osinbajo would have represented him.

plaindealer:
You mean they did not invite Kagame in 2015 because they thought he was useless and had nothing to offer?

Ipobs and common sense are enemies.

Because his Country is still emerging to be better than yours... Now its 2018 and 19. The country is on the limelight for Economic growth but ours is on the international space for Kidnapping and Herdmen invasion

plaindealer:
[s][/s]







Olodo scammer and fake pastor, be there done that. PMB rocked the G7 in style in 2015 when Kagame wasn't invited.

When they and we all thought he has something to offer

Iamgrey5:
I don't really know. I believe the EU migration crises was at its peek then and he was invited to discuss possible solution to the migration crises.

Correct, Now let me ask why they had to invite only Africam leaders as the External guests?

festacman:
You are not getting me. There is nothing bad about criticisms or protest because they are integral part of democracy but saying that not being invited to a meeting devalues the worth of a leader is too pedestrian. That's my take and I did not take that stand carelessly. It is based on my ideology.

You are saying the truth but, many leaders are avoiding a discourse with Buhari because if asked questions, he doesn't understand the question not to talk of giving a suiting response. I've watched many of his international discourse and I've seen the reaction of his host.

Gavrelino123:
Good afternoon bro,
Kindly, does campus France process BSC applications....?

Thanks

Yes, they do if your study period is above 3months stay in France

Iamgrey5:
South Africa has not be invited more than any African country.

There was a time Benin, Chad and Guniea were invited back to back. It means nothing.


The most important thing is that South Africa and Nigeria have been invited twice in the last Five years.


And who told you South Africa has equitable economic growth. South Africa has one of the most uneven society in the world. And gender equality is not better than Nigeria.


Although, Nigeria might have invited if issues of Global security and food security is being discussed.

Climate Change is what concerns SA. Gender equality was what concerned Rwanda and that's what they discussed.

Can you tell me what Osinbajo discussed in 2017?

festacman:
My contention is not with Western leaders but with fellow Africans who judge their leaders with minds characterized by slave mentality. Yes, African leaders are performing poorly, so are also some European and South American countries. Running your leaders down and lifting leaders of others up leaves bitter taste in the mouth.

Just as we are castigating our leaders, they do it in European and South American counties too. Infact, ours is just by mouth. Others do by action. Porto Ricans boot out their President, French protestested against Macron, Mexicans castigated their President for cancelling the scheduled meeting with Trump...
If we continue this your way, Nigeria will never get better.

Iamgrey5:
Understand what bro

There are more than at least 15 African countries that will feal they deserve the invitation that were not invited.

Algeria and Ghana will likely be fuming because they have been invited for a while.

We have had our fair share of invitations

South Africa has been invited more than any African County. Rwanda Is getting into limelight and will be featured more than Nigeria if we continue to move this way... this is actually pointing to the fact that they invite based on the agenda of the event and not by rotation.

For Example, the Agendas of 2018 does not concern Nigeria because we are still behind that discussion. The agendas are equitable Economic growth, Gender equality and Climate Change.
The discussion as it stands right now does not involve Nigeria.

Iamgrey5:
I don't know the mechanism for the rotation. Tbh

But the major players are likely to be invited above others

Hmmm. It took you so long to understand this.

abdolleez:
Good afternoon,
I got a mail from the French Consulate for my long stay visa for studies. The massage indicates that the visa is not being processed because I did not pass the interview at the campus france.
But I did not know that I need to be at campus france for interview before going for the submission of the application at the VFS office.
Please how do I go about it? Do I need to go to campus France for interview now so that my visa can be processed because the school resumption is 3rd of September. And what are the documents to be carried along. Please help me treat with urgent approach

Call this number immediately. Hes the interviewer at Campus France. He will explain what to do.

His name is Rafiu

festacman:
Mutual acknowledgement of each other by leaders is no problem but a leader being validated on account of his shaking another leader's hand or joining another leader in a meeting is a problem. A problem of inferiority complex.

It's a Validation of mutual acknowledgement. Who would want to discuss with someone that doesn't even understand what you are saying. Have you seen the video of Trump's and Buhari's Discussions?

segunbolawole:
Good day guys...

And our Govt will not do anything about this....?

The action of our Gov't was what led to this.

bluebabyboy1:
Me too... I regret it 100%.

Agreed we were fooled in 2015, but for some of us to allow them to fool us again in 2019 defies logic!

Even Abacha had supporters how much more of Buhari in 2019. Just like every other Nigeria president had always rigged themselves into power in their second term... president lifeless Muhammadu Buhari Did too.
Dont blame the people, they are not educated enough to defend themselves. The few once that are educated does not want to contribute to the electioneering process.

Iamgrey5:
Did I say that.

Was Thabo even allowed to vote when the previous organisation was formed .?

I'm trying to draw you back to AU so that you dont go into another organization. Its AU you talked about and not the group before it.

Buhari had no position in the AU when he attended the Summit so as Jonathan. if it is by rotation, we should not attend that summit again until every other African Countries have appeared.

festacman:
It is pure display of inferiority complex, slave mentality, colonial submission and tragic foolery to validate an African leader based on invitation to a meeting. Feeling shamelessly excited because your President shook or hugged another human being who happened to be elected the president of another country is just going too low. As Africans, we sure have our demons like the other races do but we are definitely NOT inferior though we are different.

By the way, the REALITY of G-7 meeting is that the invitations extended to select African leaders are mere TOKENISM done to fulfil global political correctness. Otherwise, why is that these OUTSIDERS are only allowed to attend brief inconsequential interactions and then HERDED OUT for a PR world media photoshoots? The truth is no 'free lunch' will come from these superpowers without gaining much more in return.

So, Reno please enough of this unnecessary noise.

Hi, it isn't a display of inferiority complex. G6 was formed in 1975 when Nigeria and Africa doesn't understand what a country means. These countries are not 60years countries so regarding them is not in anyway an inferiority complex. African leaders who attended this summit were given the opportunity to discuss with the world. Ramaphosa discussed climate change in 2018.

So bro whenever we are acknowledging world leaders, it's never an inferiority complex. China had once acknowledged the USA that's why they sent thousands of their citizens to go study in the USA. Now China is doing better and sometimes would want to compare herself to the USA.

Iamgrey5:
You had to Google to know right, but there was an institution before the AU.

Perhaps you need to Google that.

Thabi Mbeki was not her first president

Iamgrey5:
I not sure because I am not cross-checking the dates, but it was long time ago

He was the second person to lead the AU after Thebo Mebki of South Africa.

At that time, African nations hardly get invites to G7 summit.

But you keep posting wikipedia as your source... you keep lying to cover your lies...

Brother well done okay

Iamgrey5:
I not sure because I am not cross-checking the dates, but it was long time ago

No sir, After south Africa was Mozambique.

One more thing @Iamgrey5

Wikipedia will lead you astray.

AU started in 2002.

Na man like you day post for wikipedia and any man just like you can post lies there

Iamgrey5:
Nigerian president was the second chairman of Au in 2001

I guess you know 2001 is different from 2019

Not 2001 but 2004-2006

Its okay bro. Stop displaying many more of your "I too sabi" that's leading you to being a liar

Iamgrey5:
This is a new practice, there was a time African nations were not even invited at all.

I am not even sure he wasn't invited twice

Our slots is now close to 7 leaders at the summit.

Hahahahaha.... bye bro. Thanks for being funny lol

Iamgrey5:
The Chad president attended twice in 2016 and 2017

The Guinean president attended twice in 2017 and 2018

They attended both as current Chairman.

Nigeria??

Iamgrey5:
Your problem is your unwillingness to learn.

I already told you South Africa were only invited twice in the last Five years same as Nigeria, while you claimed South Africa has always been invited which is lie

South Africa never attended the summit from 2000 to 2012

Nigeria was invited in that period, same as South Africa.

I rest my case... You failed to learn.. if you dont understand the word "almost", then we have nothing more to talk about.

Iamgrey5:
Read again!

He is the incumbent and Past leader hence his back to back invitation

It is standard practice.

The Chad and Guniea president before him also attended the summit on two occasions (back to back)

Hope you understand!

When OBJ was, Nigeria was not invited consecutively... Before, when and After

Modified: you modified your post after using the internet to understand the meaning of Bric and Mint. Thanks to Google for helping you out.

However, as explained in previous comments, south Africa were in attendance from 2000 to 2012 consecutively. So it completely counters your lies of rotation.
Somalia, Chad, Libya has never been invited, it also completely counters your lies
Nigeria has not been invited consecutively even when obj was the chairman of AU, by your assertion, Nigeria should have attended 3 times consecutively, before, when, and after but it has never happened which counters your stupid assumptions...

@ Iamgrey5, you do not know what you are saying.

I rest my case.

I expect you to counter this and tell me why we should believe your stupid assertion that the invitation is related to rotation, AU chairperson, the past and the future.. countries should attend 3 consecutive times if it's TRUE but only south Africa can boast of that.

Iamgrey5:
South Africa was not invited for three years and heavens didn't fall.
[b[b]]
Every other African country deserves an invitation[/b].

South Africa Did not attend from 2000 to 2012

Stop lying.

As the host of the event? Lol... why are your countring yourself. So you have accepted that they didnt attend for 3 years? After using your Google I guess, was that not what I explained in previous Comments.

Predstan:
2018 and 2019... you are just too deluded..
Go and use your internet.

South Africa has been part of Bric which is similar to G7. They called themselves, next to world power after G7, Brazil, China, India and Russia after their fall out from G8 are Bric members.
