BRICS: Why Nigeria Was Snubbed


In a week full of high drama on the international scene – the murder of Yevgeny Prigozhin in Russia; Donald Trump’s mug shot in a Georgia prison; India landing a spacecraft on the moon and the cable car rescue in Pakistan – the 15th Summit of the BRICS nations in South Africa managed to grab a few headlines.

For Nigeria, the meeting turned out to be another humiliating moment as its application to join the economic bloc was turned down. Instead, Ethiopia, Egypt; Argentina; UAE and Saudi Arabia were invited to join with effect from January 2024. Twenty countries, including Nigeria and Indonesia applied to be members, and 20 others had expressed interest, but had not applied. So, why did our country seek to join BRICS in the first place, and why were we rejected and why was Ethiopia, a relatively smaller economy currently wracked by civil war, chosen? Is this rejection yet another national embarrassment for this country which had suffered severe mismanagement in the hands of its corrupt political leaders? Is this a vote of no confidence on the Tinubu administration?

1. Because the country is operating under ILLEGITIMACY!
You think the world is blind?
Who wants to deal with an ILLEGITIMATE CIVILIAN COUPIST.

2. ZERO FOREIGN RESERVES. . . .NO GDP RATIO. GBESE NATION WITH CORRUPTION AS A RELIGION. ALMAJIRI nation.

3. No foreign airline. . . . Poor investment portfolio and primitive transportation system.

Ethiopia 1. . .Nigeria 0!

fuckJones have you seen what mali leader said?

gbengaeed:
Who wrote this rubbish, and when did Nigeria try to join BRICS? We want to join and Tinubu is sending Shetima to the BRICS summit? We want to join and Russia is trying to truncate our gas project with Europe? We want to join, and we didn't show Interest when Shetima went to Russia for the Russia/Africa Leader summit but take Italy trip with more seriousness than the main trip. Can't you see that Nigeria is more of the USA, UK, Israel, and Holland? In recent years China and South Korea have also become strategic partners, A group that has Russia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa is a no-no because they are our direct competitors.

paramakina202:
They were snubbed because Nigeria does not belong to developing economy rather they belongs to devastating economy they should go and form union with Somalia,Sudan,Yemen and Afghanistan.

I'm sure in your village head, Ethiopia that is reliant on western food aid, with less than half of Nigeria's GDP per capita, and enmeshed in CIVIL WAR, is more qualified by your criteria of 'developing economy' to be in BRICS than Nigeria.

Village otondo with free internet.

helinues:

udede:

To clear your head a bit. The issue is not even what you are going to.
