  1. Has been that way that way for decades. They gave Assad in Syria a run for his money…think about this….billions of dollars has been sent in the form of " Aid " to the Continent of Africa…and it continues to decline into Terrorist Group factions and civil wars…they cannot get along with each other…and were " shocked " when Cousin Donald relayed he wanted to work with them, the operative word being " work "…something no Africa Leader has achieved in decades…..no infrastructure, no economic development- developing employment, no new roadway's, schools, water treatment programs, no new power grids, or medical clinics….anything built on the African continent in the last two decades, was built by Russia and/or China…..prove me wrong, I double dare you….we are the truth tellers….I'm NY Toms very British/Brazilian future wife MD, Veteran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Cont. of Africa

  2. cocaine is not the problem Fent is kills way more people and more deadly then cocaine ever is the US needs to get out of the world police role protect our own borders let africa south america take care of its own problems taxpayers are tired of paying for this

  3. Nigeria's current president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a drug baron when he was living Chicago in the US in the 80s.He was arrested, tried,his bank account frozen.He hails from South Western Nigeria where the current drug burst was made.There maybe a nexus between him and these drug cartels.

  4. Tinubu himself is a drug baron so I am not surprised that’s why we as Nigerians needs to kick him out come 2027 but unfortunately he has a lot of friends among European leaders

  5. Yes, the Nigerian economy is beginning to show some positive/stable macroeconomic outlook. It's about time for a deluge of negative news about the country. It's typical of the West. They never give up, do they?

  6. This is what is destroying our entire society at every level. Operations become risky in one geographic location they simply diversify locations. This diffusion means one lab is stopped another pops up. It's a war against humanity and appears to be State funded.

  7. Just wondering why the scale of it did not prompt journalists to investigate those behind it and their networks both inside and outside government.
