Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
World leaders are gathering on the French Alps for their 52nd Summit. G7 is a Group of Seven nations, their annual meeting starts today.
President Trump just arrived after celebrating his colorful 80th birthday at the White House.
THIS IS WORLD POLITICS AT ITS FINEST!
The G7 gather annually to discuss global economics, security, policy, & geopolitics. G7 members are major IMF advanced economies.
They decide your fate. They control the World Bank & the IMF. Your loans largely come from them. This year’s Summit is happening LIVE in Évian town in France, along the Swiss border.
President Emmanuel Macron is hosting.
The G7 includes America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, & the United Kingdom.
Invitee nations (guests) at this year’s summit include Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine, & the United Arab Emirates.
The G7 is the highest level of diplomacy. This is Geopolitics at center stage. If you’re not here? Then you should be at the BRICS (the counter geopolitical bloc). If you don’t belong in of the camps? THEN YOU ARE A NOBODY!
It’s another victory for Kenya. The only African invitee. South Africa, Kenya, & Rwanda have taken the spotlight on the continent. Nigeria is no longer in rooms where “global politics” is discussed. The APC made sure of that.
Guess what? Nigeria used to be an invitee.
You were invited five times. OBJ (2000, 2002, & 2005), Muhammadu Buhari (2015), & Yemi Osinbajo (2017) were once at this Summit.
Asiwaju has done 3 years without an invitation. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the failure of Geopolitics & Foreign Policy. Despite his affinity with Macron, Nigeria has been largely sidelined.
Obasanjo remains the only Nigerian President to have addressed the group of powerful industrialized nations 3x. He remains the only Nigerian President to have been invited 3x.
Others came for handshakes & photo ops.
OBJ was at the G8 Summit in Scotland (2005) where he addressed the Summit. He was at the G8 Meeting in Okinawa, Japan (2000) as well.
That was how he achieved debt relief, trade reforms, & the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) — his brainchild.
The G8 (Group of Eight) was the G7 (Group of Seven) until Russia joined. Russia was admitted in 1997, but the group permanently reverted back to the G7 after Russia was expelled in 2014 following— its annexation of Crimea.
NIGERIA HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS! Give this man his flowers. He is not your mate! 🫡💪
🚨 Ashley Cole says Chelsea should keep Marc Cucurella:
"I came from Arsenal to Chelsea and I didn’t perform straightaway,’ Ashley says. ‘There was pressure and expectation. Now, Cucurella is someone you should keep. He’s a top performer. I'm not in the dressing room. I don't know the noise. But if the club want to go forward, you have to keep your top players."
"(Jorrel) Hato has performed well when he's had the opportunity. But why not keep a top competitive squad to compete? You’re going to be constantly chasing the next one. You sell Cucurella, Hato plays, but then you need a solution as a back-up to him, so who will that be?"

It’s dangerous telling people they “need” luck or grace to succeed. It leaves room for manipulation by pastors.
Luck and grace are outside your control. You can’t pray them into existence. What you can do is prepare. Because luck determines which opportunity appears but preparation determines whether you can capitalize on it.
If you have no skill in engineering and you get luckily picked for an engineering job, you’re still going to fail at it.
So focus on what you can control. Your effort, skills, and discipline. Let luck take care of itself.
🚨 A friend of mine has had expensive DJ equipment (x2 technics, x2 CDJ 900s, DJM 750 mixer), a collection of > 1000 records, laptop, speakers, hard drives, everything down to the cables, stolen from his house in the Solihull area. Also a lot of unreleased songs and mixes that he has poured his soul into producing in the last decade, all the files, hard drives of back ups. All gone. If anyone sees this equipment being sold anywhere then please get in touch.
