BREAKING: The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has declared unlawful the National Assembly’s controversial N110 billion vehicle and allowance schemes, ruling that the spending of N40 billion on 465 vehicles for lawmakers and N70 billion in support allowances for newly elected members breached procurement laws, constitutional obligations, and the public trust.
Earlier today in Oyster Bay, Dar es Salaam, Joshua Maponga and I addressed a press conference concerning yesterday's Tanzania premiere of 'What Happened On October 29'.
Our message to the African press was simple - learn to be unapologetic about pursuing your African interests like everyone else is about theirs so, and stop eating out of the hands of CNN, BBC, DW, Al-Jazeera and their many friends across the western media landscape.
They are not your friends, their interests do not match with yours, they are not better journalists than you are, and they can never be better at telling your own story than you are!
Foreign Interference: Tanzania Blocks European Parliamentary Team From Visiting Country
In November 2022, China revamped its fabled Belt and Road Initiative – a win-win development initiative aimed at the Global South – in Tanzania. In December 2022, Tanzania signed a historic $2.2 billion railway deal with China to link the East African country’s port city, Dar es Salaam, to its neighbors, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Many other deals would follow, each with the potential to transform Tanzania and the wider continent, economically and politically, for the better.
But there was one problem.
An African nation was suddenly fast-tracking its development, without the blessing of the West.
And so the West did what it did best. It funded an “opposition” movement in Tanzania, and deployed its media parrots to promote the members of this “opposition” as “defenders of human rights and democracy” fighting against a “repressive” government, and sensationalize this government’s necessary actions to thwart the attempted color revolution that would follow.
And even after this failed regime change plot, the West continues to do everything in its power to destroy Tanzania.
Even for cows,
Just see the treatment they get.
The quality of life/standard of living, given to cows bred to be killed, is far more superior than the life of hundreds of millions of Nigeria.
Nigerian politicians deserve to be jailed and rot in dungeons.
Kidnapping is political

The high cost of food is political

Falling FDI is political
No drinking water is political
Boko Haram is political
Out-of-school children are political
Hospitals with no doctors are political
Failing rural road infrastructure is political
What about buying Private Jets? Is that political? So you want Oga to die?
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
