“If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there.”

Igbo kids born and raised in Australia 🇦🇺 came together to celebrate Iwa Ji festival and they were speaking Igbo.

@kekeletso_Ma @zumapaulos Don’t forget our common enemy. Our prosperity is intertwined. We’re the most populous people on planet Earth but because we’re fragmented across the continent and in the diaspora, we don’t recognize it.

@Jill2BetsyT @RepLuna That evil man is deeply entrenched in the agricultural & healthcare sectors of my country Nigeria. Cancer & Liver diseases have been on the rise. I thought I’d never hear of him again after the Epstein scandal. He’s the devil himself; someone needs to do the needful as God won’t.

@PlazmaBolt @dyk3let You idiots have no brain. If house nor fall, goat nor go climb am. The day Africa fixes itself and sets laws, China will abide by them and negotiate to get a better deal. The US-EU will look to assassinate or topple the government. Do you see the difference? You halfwit clowns 🤡

[OS @osalkebulan]

@GabbyyTeee27 He’s awesome but Why couldn’t he and GRV form an alliance? The evil autocrats are too powerful for one man to easily unseat. Why’s so hard for Nigerian oppositions to form alliances? Isn’t that poor leadership? This is why I commend PO for the OK alliance. @funsodoherty @GRVlagos

@Nnewi300 My question is why didn’t they combine forces??! The ultimate goal is to unseat these evil autocrats. Their ambitions should come second.

1961: Nigeria was the first African nation to break diplomatic relations with France, and the day was 5 January 1961.

That was not a quiet diplomatic quarrel. That was Nigeria standing up in front of the whole world and saying, enough is enough.

France had gone into the Sahara Desert and exploded an atomic bomb, the third one, on 27 December 1960. They called it Gerboise Rouge.

Nigeria had warned them before the test. African leaders had warned them. The people had warned them. The fear was simple and real.

The harmattan wind could carry radioactive fallout south, into Nigeria and into other African countries, and poison the air, the water, the soil, and the bodies of innocent people who had never asked for any bomb.

France tested anyway.

Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa did not hide behind a statement.

On the evening of Dec. 28th 1960, The French Ambassador, Raymond Offroy, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and told of the Nigerian Government's “concern” over France's explosion of an atomic bomb in the Sahara, then January 5th, 1961, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa summoned the French ambassador in Lagos, Raymond Offroy, and told him face to face that Nigeria was cutting diplomatic relations with France.

He personally handed him the letter. In that letter, Balewa spoke of the greatest resentment at the unalloyed intransigence of the French Government and the utter disregard with which that Government had treated the feelings of Nigerians on the question of atomic tests in the Sahara Desert.

Then came the part the French would never forget. The ambassador and his embassy staff were given only forty eight hours to leave Nigeria. Forty eight hours. And to make the message even sharper, Nigeria barred French planes and vessels from using Nigerian airports and ports, cancelled French transit rights through Nigeria, banned French ships from its coastal waters, and froze French assets in the country.

Think about that. This was 1961. Nigeria had only become independent on 1 October 1960. Barely three months into independence, a young African country looked one of the most powerful nations on earth in the eye and said, if you will not respect African lives, you will not enjoy African friendship.

That is why this story still matters. It was not only about a bomb in the desert. It was about dignity. It was about a new nation refusing to be treated as if its people did not matter. It was Nigeria saying that African lives are not expendable, and that no friendship is worth the silence that allows your neighbour to be poisoned.

Nigeria paid a price for that courage. Relations with France stayed broken until 1965. But history remembers who spoke first, and who acted first.

On 5 January 1961, Nigeria spoke, and Nigeria acted.

Let us never forget that this country once had the courage to stand alone for Africa.

If this history moved you, drop a comment and share it, so the next generation will know what Nigeria once stood for.

@nonyem @nwoko_greg62705 Take that tribalism and shove it up your bigoted ass. You waste of African space.

[OS @osalkebulan]

@Allezamani Ogun go kill you

[OS @osalkebulan]

I told him point blank, your bigotry is the one speaking & you’re not conscious enough to see it. Now this clown says his VP will run amok, for a man that went thru impeachment in Anambra. Yoruba closet bigots, stop being sly, learn to speak your mind. Nobody will beat you, yet.

[OS @osalkebulan]

I can bet my bottom dollar that this bigot isn’t voting Peter Obi. She’s just exhibiting her guileful talent. My very close friend, who is Yoruba, told me that the reason he’s not voting Peter Obi is if he wins, he’ll spend the next 4 years learning how to govern Nigeria….

[Oyintare Abang @tare_abang]

Voting Peter Obi sha but the level of insubordination e go see from him VP when he wins go shock am.

[OS @osalkebulan]

I then asked him, so a man who governed Anambra, an industrial state, ran multiple international conglomerates, Chairman of SEC, Chairman of Banks, etc. would’ve a harder time than our current president who’s an uneducated, treasonous, lying career crook?
