Have some self respect and dignity Africans.

Some just like insulting themselves and making themselves feel small.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau arrived at the Abbey after travelling by bus. He is not an African leader the last time I checked. As did Anthony Albanese of Australia, and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, who said she did not understand the "fuss". Revealing she regularly makes her ministers carpool, Jacinda Ardern said yesterday: "I don’t think the bus warrants too much fuss."

But trust some ignorant people to make a fuss.

budaatum:


You obviously know something I don't know.

Canada is a G7 country and their leader got the bus. Germany is G7 and their President Frank-Walter Steinmeier got the bus. Canadian, G7, Justin Trudeau got the bus. G7 Japan sent their Emperor instead of their 'leader' and he got the bus.

Perhaps you meant G2, as UKs Liz Truss does not need to get a bus since she lives around the corner, and I could not find Spain and Italy, though the King of Spain got the bus and China's leader sent a rep. Russia was not invited, which about leaves G1 Biden who did not get the bus, and most likely can't least someone shoots him.

You were saying?

Bilabong:
Where u expecting Putin to attend?

Totilopussylick:
I declined the invention because that woman contributed to the problems going on in Nigeria

Bar1941:
See mumu black leaders, they were even laughing inside a molue like school kids. Thank God Buhari only sent his errand boy there.

oz4real83:
Stop posting lies, all the leaders of these countries wanted to attend but they were rejected . They were told to send representatives instead of coming to the event themselves.

1. Russian President - Vladimir Putin (refused invitation)
2. China's President - Xi Jinping
3. Indian Prime Minister - Narendra Modi
4. Saudi Arabia Crown Prince - HRH Mohammed Bin Salman (refused invitation, sent a state minister instead)
5. Turkey's President - Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (refused to attend without his private motorcade)
6. Iran's President - Ebrahim Raisi
7. Belarus President - Aleksandr Lukashenko (wasn't invited)
8. Venezuelan President - Nicolas Maduro.
9. North Korean Leader - Kim Jong-Un.


Arab Leaders arrived in style with their convoys.
But our African leaders shamelessly boarded a coach and were driven like a bunch of kids on excursion to a zoo.

I'm glad Buhari refused the invitation and sent VP Osinbanjo instead.

Have some self respect and dignity Africans. How would they ever respect you when you don't even respect yourselves?

Kudos to Erdogan. The funny thing is Turkiye's economy is in a total mess. But self-respect has never been about money. Na wetin we dey explain to some second class world citizens be dat on the other thread. Nobody will respect Africans/blacks unless we begin to respect ourselves. The double standard in the world is too much.

China has a population of 1.1 billion people. A typical Chinese President controls 20% of the world's population. If Xi says he's the most powerful world leader on that basis alone and, therefore, be accorded equal respect, is he wrong?

oz4real83:
Stop posting lies, all the leaders of these countries wanted to attend but they were rejected. They were told to send representatives instead of coming to the event themselves. This was as a result of strained diplomatic relations. Russia was because of Ukraine issue, China was because they refused to condemn Russia and became the biggest buyer of Russian oil in defiance to sanctions and also for Taiwan and Hong Kong issues, Belarus was because they provided ground for launching the Ukrainian war, Saudi Arabia was because of the murder of Jamal Khashooggi, Iran has always been tagged as sponsor or worldwide terrorism and their nuclear programme, Venezuela has always had issues with America, Britain and their allies, there is zero diplomatic relationship between them now, North Korea was told to send representatives but the leader was barred from attending due to the already known age-long issues with South Korea and the West and also their nuclear programmes. Turkey has strained relationship with Britain, America and her allies and only got worse because of Tayyip Erdogan's friendship with Putin. India is also having problems because they keep buying fertilizers from Russia their biggest supplier despite sanctions and still continues to maintain close relationship with Russia .

Asour:

Self respect where you (African country) imports hugely from these nations and have -ve net migration to them every year.
Hahahaha.
