You are absolutely correct, bro.
But a lot seem blinded to the fact that Francafrique is simply being replaced by Russification.
We have been down this road before, where imperial powers get to use Africa as a staging post for new proxy wars.
There is plenty of slick marketing behind the viral videos we all seem to be feeding off at the moment. Yes, I am referring to the AI-generated content that lionises Ibrahim Traore - who actually comes as a likeable fellow - as more than just another coupist whose continued stay in power requires muzzling civil society.
I'm a fan of Traore... a fan of kicking out the French who are evil colonizers.
Nigerians don't appreciate their country, but trust me, we are like USA to most of West Africa; Senegal & Cote D'Ivoire somehow exceptions - even those places no get anything beyond the Capital City. French bled their colonies dry.
But when I tell people the reality on ground in Burkina Faso, they type garbage to me.
Over 95% of the so-called achievements of this guy are fiction. He has a very well oiled propaganda machine.
And Burkinabe dare not say anything against him, you will be sent to the war front ( they have a Boko Haram type of insurgency)
Most if not all West African Francophone countries have National ID Cards with a well kept database. Your details and address are all there. If you talk out of turn, less than 15 minutes, soldiers are at your doorsteps. Lagos alone can contain 2 countries. Imagine a country no bigger than Oyo or Anambra.
If a girl visits you at the hotel, the hotel reception will take her national ID card and when you see her out, she collects it back. Don't ask me how I know this.
Take your country back from heartless but omo, your lies are too much.
Burkina Faso is so bare with decades of destruction and non development that a miracle can't happen there in a decade.
I can boldly say is like Ebonyi or Gombe or Ekiti State. Anyone that's ever been there, we can compare notes
why do you guys do this to yourself.
You will be in one corner of your bedroom and be hyping nonsense. Which Nigeria is the USA of West Africa ? Nigeria economy is indeed big based on the population but the economy is not a successful one(Too many poor people in the country) Nearly every West Africa states has a number of Nigerian citizens in their country doing low to end kind of jobs. From prostitution in cotonou to selling of sachet pure water on the street of Accra. Just imagine and you call Nigeria the USA of West Africa? Who is deceiving you?
And mind you, burkina faso might be facing infrastructure deficit(She is indeed a poor country that solely depends on agriculture) but when it comes to size , it is by far bigger than Ekiti, Gombe and Anambra you mentioned. Infact Burkina faso Is bigger than UK. Fact check me. While Niger Republic is bigger than Nigeria. This country are French West Africa.
And when it comes to infrastructure, there is no indication Nigeria is developed more than Ghana in every ramifications except
you are talking about population . In fact the opposite might be true.

Though I have no personal issue with Traore but the propaganda is not making any sense .
The Burkina Faso people have different story to tell apart from the online propaganda
so those people being interviewed are not citizens of Burkina faso, those giving raw testimonials about their president don't know what they are saying abi
What if everything you believed about love was a lie?
Ada thought she had found her happy ending—a wealthy man, a beautiful wedding, a new life. But just moments before saying “I do,” a secret unraveled right before a room full of guests. Torn between silence and truth, she made a choice that shocked everyone.
Whispers began to rise in the town. Faces turned. Some clapped. Others judged. But Ada didn’t look back.
This is not just a story about betrayal—it’s a story about courage. About a woman who dared to speak when everyone expected her to smile. When the mask came off, what stood behind the wealth and charm was something darker… and Ada exposed it all.
Why did she risk it?
What did she lose?
And what did she gain?
You may think you know where this story is going—but you don’t.
Watch till the end. Her journey will move you. Her strength will surprise you.
This is not just a tale. It’s a warning. A lesson. A mirror.

I'm yet to see or read anything from a Burkinabe online who is totally against Traore or his mode of leadership in that country so I find it funny when some group of people in Nigeria whom Burkina Faso's economy or palava is of no use to them crying and writing all of manners of thrash against him. Same Nigeria where more than 90% of her citizens are currently in suffering mode...
A friend I know has been in that country for over a year now and he said electricity hasn't gone for more than 3 times since he entered the country and each time it does there was always a message beforehand through the media, Filling stations will stop selling fuel till the light comes back on because they don't use generators.
Their economy is small so what? Isn't that their level or should we start comparing them to Nigeria with lots of resources and funds but nothing to show for it...
They are apc sponsored people, they are afraid that with their records ,our military men may begin to have a idea of replicating what is happening in Burkina faso here,they are just afraid of loosing power
It's so glaring they have nothing to critcize

I’m nearby and honestly I don’t understand all the shoutings as the citizenry and their daily lives are not different. Come here and see and you will thank God you are a Nigerian
What are you even saying? Africa’s most popular YouTuber actually went to Burkina Faso and interviewed real Burkinabè citizens, people who are proudly testifying how much they love their leader. But you, sitting in Ogbomosho with corn remnants stuck between your teeth, typing aggressively from your Nokia torchlight browser, are here arguing with zero evidence. Why not travel to Burkina Faso like Wode Maya, interview the people yourself, and come back to show us how much they supposedly hate him?
my brother these APC people they practice witch craft ,they hate good things are promote and bad things
If you know any of them in real life ,even if they are of your family, give them distance
The way their minds work ehn, tufiakwa
Very terrible people
Another revolutionary disaster in the making. It's a real misfortune that Thomas Sankara didn't live long enough to expose the foolishness of his own revolution.
It's good to revolt against . The real question is what kind of system will replace the colonial framework. The French control of Francophone CFA currencies can be rightly condemned while pointing out that they've performed and functioned better than the Nigerian naira.
Anyone old enough has seen this movie and knows how it will end. Even the saintly Chinese couldn't save the rebellious one in Niger Republic from himself.
The solution is FREEDOM for THE PEOPLE. Give the PEOPLE property rights, open up ALL industries and sectors to FREE MARKET principles, encourage ETHNIC AUTONOMY or federalism, maintain a sound currency.
Adopt a Republican form of democratic government where citizens must qualify to vote - by paying tax, serving in the military or owning property...something that gives them a real stake in political decisions.
The above suggestions are not just fanciful alternatives...they're the ONLY WAY to pursue long term development.

Black Africans....y'all is something else.
Good Luck to Nigeria.
You are funny. You are giving a solution to a country you don't live in. Did you watch the documentary at all or you just gave your analysis based on what you believe because you saw Sankara?
One of them said they want a system that works for them that is indigenous. They want their own system designed by themselves. Let them do what works for them. They specifically said it there that they don't want any foreign solution to their local problems. Allow them make their mistakes and self correct. Fela once said, teacher no teach me nonsense.

How many Burkina Faso citizens have you met and interviewed in your life?
What's the ratio of those praising him compared to those against him amongst them?
Or are you sprouting some WhatsApp talking points handed down to you by your leaders at Abuja as usual?
So maybe GEJ should've done what traore did to the doctor to all those who gathered at ojota that year. They said they knew how to do it, called him all sort of names but 10yrs later, they have the power yet things are worse but they don't want to hear any criticism, constructive or otherwise.
Is Nigeria different from this picture you just painted of Burkina Faso?
