@onu_slim This is pure propaganda by oil marketers. Let them build or try to operate any of our failed refineries. Dangote shielded Nigeria and many African nations from the recent US—Iran war and subsequent close of Strait of Hormuz

The next decade may fundamentally reshape political thinking across Africa.
And after 2027, many more people may begin openly asking the questions that were once considered untouchable...

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

After the 2027 elections, Nigerians may finally begin to question how much is wasted conducting elections every 4 years while the masses continue to struggle.

The reality is gradually unfolding — DEMOCRACY as a Western political tool in Africa is about to be unmasked...a thread

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

The real debate is no longer simply “democracy vs dictatorship.”
The debate is becoming: “What system actually delivers security, dignity, development and prosperity for African people?”

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Democracy is scam if it means: “Spend billions on elections while hospitals collapse, schools decay and citizens lose hope.”

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Africans are increasingly questioning whether copying political systems from declining global powers — without adapting them to African realities — can truly produce development.

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Deeper concern?
Western democracy was designed around stable economies, industrial expansion and strong institutions. But many Western economies themselves are now struggling with:
debt crises
inflation
political polarization
migration tensions
declining trust in institutions

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Whether you agree with his methods or not, many Africans are comparing visible action with the slow-moving bureaucracy often associated with Democracy and electoral politics.

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Supporters argue that under Traoré:
state sovereignty has been emphasized,
foreign military influence challenged,
local industrial initiatives promoted,
national pride revived among young Africans.

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Meanwhile, in Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré has gained attention across Africa for projecting speed, nationalism and decisive leadership.

The issue is complex and cannot be reduced simply to race alone. But many Africans look at South Africa and ask:
How can political power change hands while economic power remains largely concentrated among historical elites?

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

In South Africa, more than 30 years after apartheid ended, inequality remains one of the highest in the world. 70% Land and economic ownership remain disproportionately concentrated in the hands of white South Africans despite decades of democratic rule and black "leadership".

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Democracy was sold to Africa as the pathway to accountability, prosperity and freedom.
But for many citizens today, it increasingly feels like a cycle of: • campaigns
ethnic divisions
elite negotiations
recycled promises
debt accumulation
with little structural change

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

Across some of Africa’s biggest democracies — Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Democratic Republic of the Congo — elections consume billions every few years, yet insecurity, unemployment, corruption and poverty remain deeply rooted.

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

After 2027, many Africans may begin to ask a difficult question:
Is the current model of democracy truly serving African people, or has it become an expensive political ritual with very little transformation to show for it?

[Edirin Ijoma @ijomalex]

@thecableng I love everything Comrade Aliu Oshiomhole stands for.

If you return to Nigeria with UK debit card and try to spend £10, your UK bank will flag it as fraud.

But Herbert Wigwe and co could transfer Nigeria’s wealth accumulated through corruption (10s of billions of £) to the UK to buy over 100 properties, and it won't be flagged.

I hope those of you who think corruption is only an African language understand that this is actually a deliberate system designed by Oyibo. Because they know exactly the source of the wealth people are bringing into their economy. They will turn blind eye when absorbing them, but as soon the traffic is reversed, they will remember every screening process in their books.

People who deliberately make their place save heaven for proceeds of corruption are worse than your corrupt African leaders. You can quote me anywhere.
