I shared my thoughts on the just concluded BRICS Summit, as a journalist who covered the two day event.
Thanks to @ians_india for providing the platform.

New Delhi: Journalist from Nigeria, Emporer Simon says, "Well, first of all, it's my first time coming to India, and I must say that it has been a worthwhile experience for me to be here. Now, talking about BRICS, I would say that it's one of the most significant developments, especially for developing countries. We know that BRICS currently represents 49% of the world's population and contributes about 40% of the world's GDP. That's massive..."

@emmange10 @CrownprinceCom2 South Africa is the exact replica of George Owell's Animal Farm. After gaining freedom from the apartheid government, many South Africans have now turned even worst that the imperialists. They have become savages and brutish against their fellow Africans.

@The_Boy_Jerome @emmange10 @CrownprinceCom2 You are a BIG fat fool! You are in Europe where you are no better than the 1778's slave. Africa is your origin no matter where you go. I wander what Nelson Mandela would be saying wherever he is, because he cannot have forgotten the role Nigeria played to end apartheid in SA.

@AfricanHub_ Although I am not in support of coup, Captain Traore's decisive steps to restoring the dignity of Africa is highly commendable. Africa is endowed with everything it requires to succeed and does not need to rely on handouts to succeed.
Africa must take her destiny into her hands.

@DavidHundeyin "Jamhuriyar Tarayyar Najeriya" mean the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Why can't it be written in the interliguistic portmanteau - WaZoBia?

The untold story of election financing in Nigeria: There’ll be 176,846 polling units (boxes) in 2023 election. From my experience, at each PU (akwati), a serious party must have at least 2 agents, 2 vote canvassers (euphemism for vote-buyers) and 1 cashier.
