Monarchy: not Democracy; leaders picking family members for top-tier posts they are forever clearly ill-equipped for.

Political Phantasmagoria by Hallelujah Boys who get peanuts to sing Tunes of Royalty. History.

Alas, they never get reserved seats at the long table in The Big Castle.....

Notes From Nairobi: A Nigerian’s Ruminations on Rhema Feast 2025

Why is Kenya another hub for apostolic gatherings? The answer is in Acts 8:8 which says “And there was great joy in that city.”

From Kisumu, Kericho, Eldoret to Mombasa and Nakuru. There is joy in Kenya.

Nairobi, Kenya.

Interesting conversations during #ComesaSummit2025 days with veteran EU diplomat Lana Zutelija and Christiane Haziyo; both of the European Union Delegation in Zambia.

Circa 20 languages spoken between these prim and proper polyglots with Ms Zutelija accounting for over 10.

Again, EU Leaders have gotten another obvious political decision wrong (one too many recurring decimal). Political wokeness should be left for keyboardists.

The same mistake will be made again.

After some International Relations analysis for some months by Dolapo Aina; if the next United Nations Secretary General were to be a woman; it will be the present PM of Barbados; Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley.

No one, I reiterate; no one comes close.

Dangote Refinery: Global Ramifications:

52 African States import fuel from outside Africa.

Non-African States who export fuel into West Africa have lost circa 8bn USD yearly market.

Likely to lose other regions' markets to the only refinery of its kind in Africa from Nigeria.

Presidents who become Global Citizens, Global Elderstatesmen and Elderstateswomen don't return to politics vying for the same post they left/jettisoned years ago.

The GEJ 2027 analysis is naive. The President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, I saw this year, is thriving in his Global Elderstatesmanship.

If You Don't Find a Nigerian Where You're, You Should Leave.
Nigerians are forerunners. Nigerians will always make it work even in the midst of turbulence. Nigerians are the only ones who have passed through some territories. Nigerians are teaching us.
