You're definitely an APC member. All you have done is deflect, deflect and deflect. I already mentioned 59.5 as Nigerian data for access to electricity.

Looks like you have problem understanding basics.... 59.5 is for Nigeria total access to electricity 86% for Urban and 26% for Rural is per data I provided.

Mille:


We are talking about North Korean numbers. Where is your screenshot of the North Korean numbers?
Anyone with a working brain won't be asking this...I gave you a link that shows NK Urban access to electricity which the rural areas data is non existent which correlate with satellite image that shows only the Urbanized capital with electricity. If you want to prove me wrong then bring up the data.

Mille:


Where is your source of 5 hours electricity in South Africa?

South Africa has 80 plus electricity access...with some area with zero to no power. I will definitely fetch it when I less busy.

Mille:


Where is your source that disagrees with the Reuters North Korean data?

In your words,

"That 52.6 for NK was only for those in the Urban area...there was nothing for the rural because their rural areas lack electricity". Where is your screenshot?

What screenshot are you asking for again?

It's a Nigerian problem. Until Nigerians are ready, we'd be stuck here.

Atleast I have witnessed better govt in the past. We need good leaders and a responsive citizenry.

The top economies in the World are majorly democracies. It is our practice of the system that is faulty.

And how well can the citizens respond more than we did during the last election? Bro that election was fukng rigged

Is it US/EU fault we have bad electricity in Africa?

What Russia is trying to do is replace western dependence with Eastern dependence, either way it isn't good for Africa.

We have 54 countries in Africa, and a significant portion have strong ties with the US, the most powerful African nations actually. Russia's influence in Africa isn't as strong as you're hoping.

Personally, Africa isn't ready for anything Nuclear, we are too unstable there are other safer alternative for electricity.

Even Russia and China don't want war with the US/EU, you're misinformed on the power disparity between them. If the US/EU comes for any nation I can assure you, China and Russia won't get involved militarily. They barely have enough to defend themselves against NATO.

Israel is a good example, what is Russia or China doing bout it? Nothing just condemnation here and there. And Israel is just an ally.

The level of influence the US has, I can assure you, China or Russia won't get that level of influence even if the US crumbles.

You're still living in a bubble mate. It's vise versa anywhere Russia gets involved too USA stays clear

⚡Macron accuses US, China of failing to respect global trade rules

French President Emmanuel Macron Thursday called for a “revision” of EU trade policy to defend European interests, accusing both China and the United States of no longer respecting the rules of global commerce.

“It cannot work if we are the only ones in the world to respect the rules of trade — as they were written up 15 years ago — if the Chinese and the Americans no longer respect them by subsidising critical sectors,” he said in a keynote speech.

⚡Europe will face great risks of being weakened in the coming years, French President Macron says.

"Europe could die."

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday urged Europe to rise up to the challenges of a changed world, warning that “our Europe, today, is mortal and it can die”.

“It can die and this depends only on our choices,” Macron said in a keynote speech, warning that Europe was “not armed against the risks we face” in a world where the “rules of the game have changed”.

“Over the next decade… the risk is immense of (Europe) being weakened or even relegated,” he said at the speech at the Sorbonne university in Paris, billed as the president’s vision for Europe’s future.

He urged Europe to emerge from a “strategic minority” that had left it over-dependent on Russia for energy and the United States for security.

If the Soviet Union couldn't cope with the US, it's common sense to know the US greatly out muscles Russia. NATO would nail Russia.

China is an emerging power, not at the US level yet, and def not NATO. China going against NATO would be terrible for them.

People also voted for APC. That's one downside of Democracy even adult can vote not considering their mental situation.

Even top democracies today, were once like is, but they bonded together and did what is right.

Hopefully with the right education, exposure and common consciousness we can elect better leaders and also demand better from them.

It's a Nigerian problem and requires a Nigerian solution.

Nigeria is still in the state of evolving or growth.

What exactly has Niger or Africa gained in all the years that it has been "friends" with the US? NOTHING!!

They just come to your country, build a base that they'll even ask you to finance in the name of "American protection". While the country continues to languish in poverty.

There's not a single country the US has stepped into that has become better until you kick them out. Instead they all became worse.


Some of you are so gullible.

There's nothing the US or the west gives to you that doesn't go back to them or used as a tool of control.

iPhones, Starlink to monitor, track you and steal your information.

Social media to control the populace and incite hatred against a government it doesn't like or wish to topple. Or to promote all sort of perversions, LGBTQ and homosexuality.

Western crediting & financial platforms (Visa, Mastercard, SWIFT, IMF, World Bank) to control your money. Something they can take back at any time.

It's all a Greek gift.

You just want to argue with out listening to reason.

The neighbours of Russia are all running out of it's sphere of influence but you think you know Russia better than people who have witnessed them for hundred of years.

We would see what those countries seeking closer ties with Russia would gain, I didn't wish them bad, it's an objective statement.

The US is bad, they want to try Russia, fine. Let's see how it goes

Can you honestly beat your chest and say that NATO would exist in 50 years time? Or that the US would still exist as a single entity in 100 years?

But Russia would always be there, might be in a different form and name but it'll still be there as long as they continue assimilating smaller countries. It'll only keep getting bigger. Russia has existed for over 1000 years. How do you think that happened?

If you know the history of Eastern Europe you'll know that all those countries who are being used as pawns against Russia would still get conquered by Russia in the future, it's just a matter of time.

Once upon a time Poland and the Baltics, Scandinavian countries fell outside of Russia's sphere of influence. Then they got conquered by Russia again.. And on and on it goes.

The US was not alone during the cold war era they had allies, and judging from what we are seeing in Ukraine the whole NATO of 31 countries are still struggling against a lone Russia despite the multiple sanctions, the Russians have absorbed the strongiest blows from NATO and they are waiting patiently for NATO to invade Russian territories but the cowards couldn't even summoned courage.

Ukrainian territories have been annexed by Russia under the watchful eyes of NATO and yet they couldn't even marched their forces there and help Ukraine reclaimed those territories. The Americans, French and the British are all cowards, it's a shame it's really a shame.

Just the same way they declared war against Germany after Germany invaded Poland and refused to march their forces there to stop the Germans, they fold their arms and watched the Germans ravaged Poland and Czechoslovakia and that's exactly what they are doing to Ukraine.
