What other proofs do you seek? Jagaban has proved over and over that he's grand master of politics.

All this unnecessary hatred would lead you no where, abeg.

I don't hate tinubu.

I love him as my leader.

Just saying he shouldn't go to white house

Trump doesn't know Ramaphosa is a career politician. To belong to ANC, you go serve the party for decades through the ranks.

Debates and public speaking aren't an issue for someone as experienced as Cyril. Can't be bullied like Zelenskyy.

Watching it now... as I said. Ramaphosa is even more experienced in politics than Trump himself, been in politics since his 20s. Trust me, those guys know just what to say. Cyril lectured Trump like a stubborn kid grin
You’re so right.. I always ire the calm mien of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Very matured politician.. kudos to him

Only a president that will do one term will delve into restructuring matter in his first term.


But why was he making noise as if it was so easy?

This is what him and his colleagues use to call Nigerian number one problem, why running away from it to solve lesser ones?

Talk is really cheap.

See, the electorates are suckers. You tell them what they want to hear as a politician. Everybody already knows politicians are liars. That's their hallmark!

inferiority complex
Delusional.

Inferiority complex is using public funds to pay for your people to go to Arabia to exercise Arab customs, inferiority complex is queuing and being embarrassed trying to shake the hand of a pope, inferiority complex is forgeting your culture and following the culture of others as religion. Inferiority complex is looking up to IMF to tell us how to run our economy.

The shameful part that shamed me was how Rama asked Trump for technological assistance to help combat this menace.... Africa leaders are always begging in the international stage that's why nobody respect them....

It's sad though

Trump that was celebrating having just 2 hours phone call with Russia's Putin few days ago. That's was a milestone.

He dreamt all weeks to get a phone call from President Xi of China. That one just sent a delegation of economic team to meet with the USA's team for talks.

People need to go and check his interview with the new Canadian PM, and the attitude and confidence of the PM from beginning to d end. Canada is the 4th largest country with mineral resources in the world with beautiful structures. One of the major reason Trump is eying the land.

Go and check his last meeting at oval office with the Japanese leader.

He knows who to mess with; countries like UK, EU etc.

Leaders of countries need to learn to put that clown in his place. Learn from the big guys.

Who are those praising Ramaphosa for an excellent defense? I expected a more pasuasive and oratory response that will make Trump look stup1d.

Yes, I said this because Trump was more prepared than him with pictorial evidences of genocide against the white settlers in SA. To invalidate this claim, Cyril should have proven to him that the violence is universal. Even blacks are equally being killed, by giving hypothetical examples. Violence is happening in all countries including the USA where there's daily gun violence against people of all colors.
Then, speak on the efforts of the South African government in combating the crime. So on and so on. Cyril fall my hand abeg!

I watched Trump at Doha and there are two things to know about him. If you are taller than him, he respects himself. If you respond calmly to him, he loses himself. He expects to be on top all the time. It is unwise to play to his advantage.

Just look at him here


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN850yc51tA?si=Gj7pRkioK8lbc27W


He carried his two legs to Doha and behaved like a good boy. It is also a reminder to everyone, RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHkUHmo53Y?si=XzK2_A0iPnw6vAOT

These Arab desert countries some years ago were wasting their land. Look at the Emir sitting comfortably in his sandals and attire but some people are telling me our President should wear more suits. For who? To impress who? I pray our leaders learn how to use our resources.



He was much respected in Doha and across the Arab states he visited, so it was natural for him to behave like a good guy where he is honored. He actually does not expect to be always on top, as he respected PM Meloni of Italy very well when she came to white house. He obviously had issues with south Africa before Ramaphosa decided to come to the white house, and Trump does not pretend. He also was expecting zelensky to sign the minerals deal, but Zelensky wanted security guarantees ist which he didn't . In summary, he respects those who respect themselves.

This man always think he can bully others in order to have his way.
The same white South Africans that ran apartheid regime against the blacks are the ones Trump is fighting for their so called right.
He can claim "genocide" against the minority South African whites,but keeps silent when genocide is being committed against Palestinian civilians especially women and children by the apartheid government of isra-hell.

Apartheid!! I laugh in Swahili.

Hamas can keep torturing Israeli hostages. Hamas can send rockets to kill Israeli civilians especially women and children if not for Israeli iron dome that saved many. Hamas can begin a war like in October 7 killing women l, children and even babies.


Israel should never respond or retaliate once and for all to end the carnage how they want, just as how Hamas started the way they wanted because if Israel do, it is genocide and apartheid and evil.

Trump's approach to Meloni was simply because she is a lady.

He would have applied his gangster attitude.

In technicalities, Italy's status ranks worse that , UK, , and perhaps Ireland etc that Trump has been maltreating their leaders.

He is not a reserved man with talks. He is full of himself and pompous. I just love the way China has heavily humbled him regarding the tariff war. He will understand his place now.

You just lay claims without facts. I presented my statements with you with facts.

Pm Meloni and Trump share the same view in a number of polices, chief of them all putting their countries ist, and immigration. It was on these policies that Meloni rose to power and not just because she is a lady. Trump never liked policies and during his ist tenure, he showed disdain for and Merkel, the female ruling chancellor of then because buys oil and gas from Russia who they claimed they imposed sanctions meaning they were not keeping to their own of agreement. also had weak laws on immigration and all that.

And whether China is winning on trade war or not which is all you care about, I am actually pretty impressed with trump seeing a problem and making attempts to tackle it which is the hallmark of a leader, unlike previous past American presidents who saw the problem and yet did nothing about it. USA has a huge trade deficit with China, and china has already come to the table to renegotiate, which will at most reduce the huge trade deficit rather than do nothing about it.


We sit at our homes and choose whether we a leader or not that doesn't concern us, while our own very leaders do nothing about the very problems bedeviling our nation. See the worsening security situation in the country in several states in Nigeria for instance, but as long as we are alive and it doesn't affect us, we bother more about a country practically implementing policies to address the needs of their country. We are really funny in this country

You reply is emotional, and not factual.

You have listed only 1 point that alligns Trump with Meloni's policies.

Trump has 1, 2 or 3 points of policies or more that he likes with other EU countries including . is America's biggest trading partner in EU.

Stop digressing. My point is, Trump cannot maltreat leaders of Saudi, China, Russia, Japan, Qatar etc. It's due to their worth and how they rank and carry themselves.

Why Putin is very confident and arrogant is bcoz he sits on over $75 trillion dollars worth of mineral resources (World's largest reserve). Same as some other countries above.

Tech and commodity trading can be subject to competition and it's dynamics can change.

If u listened to his interview with Canadian PM, he (Trump) said he loves to merge becos CA has what many others don't have.

Trump is a businessman, and that's the basic of it.

I will not reply further.

3 presidents? It can never ever be the same again. Now, presidents of the world would be thinking twice before they go to white house, since he bully 2 presidents already. Before you know, nations would be compelling to open up for another world power nations, for business and cooperation, China and Russia would be the biggest beneficiary of the way man of America is behaving.

Facts! Many nations will do everything going forward to rely less and less on the US. It's obvious now that another erratic individual could emerge as US president tomorrow and do far worse. Anyway, historically, this is how empires fade away. Superpower America is on its way out of global dominance.

I don't think so. Your analysis is good but in international diplomacy, it's not about your sentiment. The leader of any country deserves their respect. He disrespected Trudeau of Canada and when they elected a new PM who visited him, he spoke about how he didn't like Trudeau and his people. Is that election interference or what? You can't cherry pick who you want to like or dislike when the people of that country have their leaders. The world does not respond to your tantrums and you can't always get what you like. There are also things you don't say to the media as a leader, not because you can't say the truth but because bilateral relations can be affected.

BTW, he and Doha Emir are friends.
