The fact that both Trump and Xi Jinping have visited each other twice should tell you something: the United States and China need each other, particularly when it comes to their economic and strategic interests. These visits are about diplomacy, trade, security, and managing relations between two global powers not about “seeing the boss.” Politics and international relations are far more complex than such a narrow interpretation suggests.
If Nigerians repeatedly vote for the same political party or candidate, should we simply interpret that as voter loyalty or should we also ask whether our electoral system has failed to evolve enough to give voters genuinely competitive choices? Democracy is not just about holding elections; it is also about having electoral laws that keep pace with technology, transparency and the changing expectations of citizens.

@abdulmalikoama@AdegbolaJohn3 If he was elected twice and served for eight years, then the clear point is that Nigerians voted for him. You can question the circumstances surrounding the elections, but his two-term tenure was based on electoral victories.
The reason many Africans are migrating to Europe is that your governments and foreign-policy institutions have contributed to instability, poverty, insecurity, and poor living conditions across parts of Africa, Often while presenting their involvement under the banner of foreign policy or humanitarian intervention.
This claim is historically inaccurate. Fulani did not first arrive in Hausaland with Usman dan Fodio in the 18th century. The Kano Chronicle records the arrival of Fulani from Mali during the reign of Sarki Yakubu of Kano, 1452–1463 — more than 300 years before the 1804 jihad. They came with Islamic and scholarly books, and some settled in Hausaland while others continued toward Bornu.
You can only deceive yourself.
@goldengembe@SaajidLipham Where are the human rights standards when it comes to Gaza? This agenda seems to be invoked selectively whenever it serves to manipulate the standards being applied.
