A Professor of Political Science, Bolaji Akinyemi, has advised President Bola Tinubu to avoid confrontation with the newly inaugurated 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump.


Akinyemi gave this advice on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.

“If I were President Tinubu, I would try to steer clear of antagonising him because there is nothing a bully likes more than taking on people who are not strong enough to resist him.


“You know there is that African proverb that if you are not strong enough to take on a bully and you challenge him, you will only suffer more for it.

“That’s the advice I would give President Tinubu: try to avoid having a confrontation with him, even if that means he does things that annoy or step on the interests of Nigeria. There are ways in which you could address his actions without confrontation,” he said.

The university don, who is a former Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs. NIIA, described Trump’s inaugural speech as uninspiring, shocking, and depressing.


According to him, rather than rallying the world for peace, Trump used his speech to threaten the rest of the world with a bouquet of hostile policies, including taking back the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and engaging in tariff wars, among others.

Akinyemi said the US president would soon learn that there are repercussions to policies and jingoism, stressing that the world is in for a rough ride during the four years of the Trump presidency.

The former Nigerian Minister of External Affairs said Nigeria is no longer a focus for the 78-year-old most powerful president, and that Africa’s most populous nation should not expect anything extraordinary from the Trump presidency.


DAILY POST reports that Trump was sworn in as president on Monday, succeeding Joe Biden, four years after an electoral defeat that truncated his second-term ambition

Like for Trump. Share for Putin

Tinubu took over and his first utterance was "Fuel Subsidy is gone"
The rest is history, some have even committed suicide

😀
To avoid roasting.

Well...

Trump doesn't even know he's anybody or existing

So the issue of avoiding Trump is unfounded


Only ronu cretins know the cocaine sniffing goblin

The KNOWN DRUG LORD will do everything to avoid Trump not to talk of confrontation.

Bolaji Akinyemi should shut the hell up.

See an old man like him full of fear for his fellow man.

No wonder he said Nigeria should not have ed BRICS.

Must have been out of his fear of Trump.

What will Trump do to Nigeria? Invade us because we asserted our rights as an independent nation?

USA can do NOTHING to Nigeria.

As a BRICS nation we are allied to Russia, Brazil, China, India, etc, so unless Trump wishes to start WW3, he knows not to try any shiit with Nigeria.

That is how you should be reasoning Mr Akinyemi, if you weren't paralysed by your colonial fear of anglo-saxon reaction to asserting your rights.

Bolaji is Tinubu er na, na same omo ale.

This may be to avoid releasing classified documents that all have been done to block.

Trump himself is a convicted criminal on 34 charges.

Has any of that stopped him? NO.

So why should anything he releases about Tinubu mean anything at all?

He can release any nonsense he likes, it means nothing.

You people forget that Nigeria is now a member of BRICS.

We have major clout, which includes military alliances with major world powers, as a BRICS member.

We have nothing to fear from Trump or anybody today.

Our levels don change.

Tinubu is not Trump's mate. Both of them have blood for body so man no man.

God saw wetin you dey think inside ya heart.

....... COWARDS.... COWARDS..... COWARDS......


Tinubu will only be afraid of releasing his dossier of drug deals according to information.

Dem no need to tell blind man say rain dey fall na

Body go tell city boy

Akinyemi saying Trump will learn is funny to me ..

Tinubu na Yoruba man. He can not dare Trump. Even the President of Niger republic dey give Tinubu wotowoto. Yoruba and fear are like 5&6

Normal fear fear cowardly mentality

E don hear, is that all, Mr ADVISER?

Good advice, don’t outshine your Master.

Morale of the whole and manner of dancing Master

Golden rules of all time.

He should disregard the advice and gain firsthand experience with Trump for his own benefit. 😂😂😂

Make una allow am make that mistake na.

Shey he nearly make Niger and Malideal with Nigeria.

If he no get sense, Trump (SAW) go give am sense.

Tinubu is too wise a fellow to pick beef with Mr Trump.....

Tinubu knows how to play his games if he ever wants to have any deals with Mr Trump....

Abeg make Tinubu confront am, man to man


I wan check some thing.

I sha know say teeth go full ground 😅

Words.

Abdomen words

Unsolicited Advise

Abeg go rest, why should he avoid open confrontation, only Obidienst would say such a thing.
They're are both president, president no president.

That is what some blind folded and evaporated brain ers will say

“You know there is that African proverb that if you are not strong enough to take on a bully and you challenge him, you will only suffer more for it.”

On the contrary, what my grandfather told me is that, if you can’t challenge a bully to a physical fight, at least you can pack a handful of sand and throw to his face before you run.
That alone will totally deflect his ego.

DonBenny77:
Tinubu took over and his first utterance was "Subsidy is gone"
The rest is history, some have even committed suicide

Thats the best decision any Nigerian president has ever made.

Tinubu will shoot himself in the leg, Skeletons in his closets will be brought open and his can of worms will be exposed if he dare confront Trump

A confrontation with the all powerful POTUS might be good

It might help us to finally know whether the entity who was said to have attended Chicago State University is really a He or a She

Before nko. Trump na in mate ?

We are waiting for the whole Chicago records to be released
