IBRAHIM TRAORÉ’S FULL-SWING CLAP BACK AT MACRON
In his powerful clapback to French President Emmanuel Macron's 6 January disparaging comments about Africans, Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré left no stone unturned on 13 January.
Traore (@capitaineib226 on X) pointed out that if anyone is an ingrate, it is Macron, as leader of a country that has profited off Africans, our ancestors and our resources. If God provides, then Africans have been gods to France for decades. Need we say more?

ADETSHINA DEFIES TROLLS
WITH ‘MISS AFRICA’ WIN
Miss Universe Nigeria has a new crown. Chidimma Adetshina was named Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after coming second in the Miss Universe 2024 final in Mexico City. It’s been an emotional journey for the 23-year-old South African, who felt compelled to drop out of the contest in her home country after trolls and lawmakers alike started complaining about her Nigerian roots. (Worse, the authorities there are now investigating whether her mother committed identity fraud to obtain SA citizenship and want to revoke their passports.) But South Africa’s loss is a win for Nigeria. Adetshina ended up representing the nation and has now scooped for it Africa’s biggest Miss Universe win since 2019. In fact, it’s a glorious win for Africa - even if some of the trolls don’t realise it yet.

If you don’t know the facts, then kindly shut the F up. Your Super Eagles and countrymen are in danger in a foreign country and some of you are here chatting nonsense.

We didn’t do it to Ghana, South Africa or Benin then it’s Libya we will do it to. Come on guys
#BushSleepova sadly I wasn’t a fan. Great actors but I found the dialogue disjointed and the writing underdeveloped. The actors brought moments of nostalgia and fun but alas couldn’t hide the missing connectivity in the storytelling. @bushtheatre
@NickFerrariLBC I think you’ve just described Lambeth Council and other child social care setting, but you will find a flaw I’m sure to feed your race division goals 🤡
@ShelaghFogarty 👏🏾👏🏾Well done Chloe withholding all people pulling out the stops to defend the indefensible. It’s fatiguing but well done to her for hanging on to FACTS clearly. Least we’re still in the same place decades from now.
@Seyirhodes you sat there while someone called the Tuskegee Experiment a ‘story’. This whole piece is unfortunate and really disappointingly narrow. Perpetuating the small mind thinking trope undermines real concerns and too easy.
@curryspcworld @TeamKnowhowUK what a completely incompetent company you’ve become imo. Fluffed delivery for the 2nd time in 6mon! Operatives not wearing masks in people’s homes. What a shame the brand is tarnished by terrible supplychain and service. This won’t happen a 3rd time!
#HasBritainChanged I don't think it has, when young sportsmen are told they aren't welcome @ChingfordRFC because they are black. Disgusting behaviour and appallingly weak response from club
I really hope a bite size clip of @sal2nd statement at the end is made available and goes viral. Perfectly put. @ChantayyJayy brilliant and clear voice of what is expected in the future sin platitudes. #HasBritainChanged
