Omo, the matter wey dey happen for Venezuela fit shock you! US President Donald Trump don invade Venezuela, carry their president, Nicolas Maduro, and e wife come the ground. Na wah! Wetin dey happen? Some people dey talk say this invasion dey show how dem dey disregard sovereignty like say na mere play.
For the world wey we dey now, e don dey clear say no be everybody go fit talk to US, because dem get the strongest army. Even China, no be say dem no fit challenge am, but the price no go sweet!
As dem dey carry oil matter go places, some people claim say Trump dey eye Nigeria oil with all this wahala wey dey happen. No be joke! But Trump sabi wetin him dey do, him dey find cover for him action under humanitarian reasons. Na so international matter dey go; plenty excuses, no real solutions.
Now, make we talk about the United Nations. E fit look like say dem no fit stop the way superpowers dey operate. UN dey designed to prevent World War, but wetin go happen when two big nations dey face each other? Na cause wahala be dat!
As for Nigeria, wetin we go learn from wetin dey happen for Venezuela? We no suppose dey provoke big men like Trump, because if him decide to carry us enter trouble, wetin we go fit do? Nothing, my guy! So, as Nigeria dey waka now, we gatz dey very careful.
Trump don warn say the way Christians dey treated for Nigeria na the reason why dem don tag us Country of Particular Concern. To clear our name, we gatz ensure say Christians no dey face any wahala and banditry no dey happen again. Na to show say we dey serious make e possible for us to chop our peace.
But wait, how we go fit change the narrative? We need to start by ensuring security dey top-notch for the country. If we fit solve our own issues, den we fit confidently talk to Trump say ‘Omo, see, we don clear all the wahala, clear the path for us biko.’
And we still dey hear about the relationship with the US. E no dey sweet for mouth because our security issues don weaken our stance. We dey already dey see the way dem dey position Nigeria within the grand scheme of things, with China and France dey hold some kind influence.
As for the ambassadors wey late to come, dem don finally start to appoint people back. But we go fit ask, how we go recover from the time wey we no get them? Na serious wahala, my people!
At the end of the day, we need to define wetin Nigeria wan be. Are we still the giant wey everyone sabi? O mo, reality hit, na so e be! If we don’t up our game and secure our place for Africa, we fit find ourselves as no more than just another country wey dey struggle.
