Disrespect is never forgotten by a man. It is either buried deep or used as revenge but never forgotten.

We are putting together a legal team in Lagos State to offer representation to any protester who may be arrested and or charged to court during the forthcoming peaceful protest.

My learned colleagues practicing in Lagos, please share your WhatsApp number with me via DM if you would love to offer pro bono services to protesters.

Thank you.

History will vindicate the just.

If your Yorubaness only comes out when Tinubu and Tinubu supporters are criticised, but not when the everyday people of the SW are suffering and impoverished under incompetent and corrupt leaders, you are not a Yoruba champion, you’re just a hungry servant in Tinubu’s household.

[ASPIRING DELEGATE @BanditPampered]

Spot on!

[Ben the Seer @MikaelCBernard]

Please remove that “increase salaries of military, police, etc” from the protest demands.

If they want increment in salary, let them launch their own protest.

It’s not our job to fight for enablers of evil.

Just like the people of Nigeria have been swallowing the rubbish they voted and subscribed to since 2015.
There is no need to rise to fight for a people who are ever ready to run into the bed of their tormentor during elections.

@DavidHundeyin Rest on great man. Thank you for giving us David.

And that's the great Henry Kissinger for you: a man of surpassing intellect and influence who pursued America's strategic interests with fierce and single-minded dedication, often, regrettably, at the expense of smaller nations considered by him as mere pawns in the supreme game of great power politics.

Kissinger sought to build a 'Pax Americana' (not unlike the ancient 'Pax Romana') based not so much on a 'Kantian equilibrium' in world politics, let alone a 'Berge equilibrium' in the arena, but on a shifting 'Nash equilibrium' that at all times maximized US interest as a dominant player - if at the expense of smaller players in the global system.

It's quite a milestone for Kenya notching up three US state visits in 44 years; the more also considering that this was the first state visit to the US by any African leader in 16 years. It's an unmistakable snub to the so-called 'giant of Africa' which has enjoyed only one such state visit (in 1977, by OBJ), though it has had several lesser diplomatic outings to the US, including an _official visit_ (different from 'state visit') by Balewa in 1961 and a similar one by Shagari in 1980. I doubt the US will be inviting 'Jagaban' for a state visit any time soon.

One hopes that Ruto used the opportunity to good effect - tightening relations between his country and the US; representing Africa-wide interest where necessary without infringing continental protocols; and above all telling America off for its complicity in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

[Olaudah Equiano® @RealOlaudah]

Thank you, Dr. Mbamalu, for sharing this story about Indira Gandhi's strained state visit to the US in November 1971.

It shows quite clearly that sometimes diplomatic talks can be quite heated or hostile in private, even with the display of politeness and contrived camaraderie in public. The conviviality attending such visits should not, and often does not, preclude the pursuit of particularistic interests.

Kenya's President William Ruto has just concluded his state visit to the US - the third state visit to the US by a Kenyan president, after earlier ones by Presidents Daniel arap Moi in 1980 and Mwai Kibaki in 2003.

[ASPIRING DELEGATE @BanditPampered]

@RealOlaudah Quite insightful. Thank you sir

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Something I always snigger at is how the pro-Apartheid, pro-Colonialism people and their modern iterations have somehow managed to commandeer the "free market capitalist" identity, so that everyone opposed to them is a left wing commie.

Apartheid and colonialism were state-backed socialist interventions for white people. What the heck was "free market" about 9% of a country's population introducing laws (at gunpoint) to prevent 87% of the population from controlling factors of production or meaningfully participating in its economy?😄

What on earth was "pro-market capitalism" about using state fiat to corrall that 87% into "bantu reserves" strategically spaced apart to prevent them from aggregating resources and competing with the 9%? 😄 Isn't the primary hallmark of free market capitalism supposed to be freedom of competition?

Some people used state power to centrally plan an economy into the hands of a small minority, imported hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans to artificially repopulate the land stolen from the 87%, used regular massacres and terrorism to avoid paying the market price for one of the factors of production (labour), and ran the country's economy into the ground funding some of the world's most generous subsidies for the consumption of the 9%. Doesn't that sound very much like, I dunno, socialism?😅😅😅😅

30 years later, their modern-day proxies (still sitting on all the subsidy-funded largesse they accumulated) are calling themselves "free market capitalists"?😄😄😄

The people who insist on historical redress to create a fair playing field for actual competitive capitalism to take place for the first time are now the "socialists," "radical leftists," and "communists"?😄😄😄😄😄

Ain't that a bitch.

Anyway, as I keep saying, NARRATIVE IS EVERYTHING. Until Africa understands the central importance of NARRATIVE to everything in the world, people will continue getting away with their self-serving, shape-shifting nonsense.
