These are men and women from a polity where ๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ without public outcryโwhere the rule of law is not a sacred principle but a tool of convenience in the hands of the powerful.
Nigeriaโs presidency today is ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, choreographed by shadowy foreign interests who leverage the ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ค๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ-๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ซโa man whose ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฏ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ค๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ. Yet he presumes to preach constitutionalism to a people forging their own path toward self-determination?
The ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐ฒ, meant to be the last bastion of justice, has become a hollow institutionโ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ who issue rulings not guided by jurisprudence, but by whispered instructions from the corridors of political power. These courts no longer protect the people; they protect the predators in power.
The National Assembly, which ought to embody the voice of the people, has been reduced to a congregation of kleptocrats, narcotics traffickers, morally bankrupt power brokers, and opportunists, ever eager to echo sycophantic praise to the executive in exchange for contracts, cash, or political protection. These are not lawmakersโthey are court jesters in agbadas, dancing for the king in a crumbling palace.
And yet, these same political actors have the temerityโthe unblushing arroganceโto castigate Burkina Faso for having a military leader?
Captain Ibrahim Traorรฉ stands as a symbol of unyielding African resistanceโa young, visionary leader who has rejected the neocolonial chokehold of the West. He has reclaimed the sovereignty of his people, expelling exploitative foreign powers, confronting corrupt elites, and placing African dignity above personal comfort or Western validation.
Under his leadership, Burkina Faso has rekindled the spirit of Thomas Sankaraโa spirit long extinguished in countries like Nigeria, where revolutionary ideals have been bartered for foreign loans, luxury SUVs, and secret offshore accounts.
Traorรฉ is not perfect, but he represents ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉโ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ . While Nigerian leaders surrender their mandate to foreign embassies and IMF prescriptions, Traorรฉ looks inwardโto the land, to the youth, to African solutions.
To Nigerian politicians serving as ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐, understand this: You do not possess the moral currency to critique those who are actually attempting to liberate Africa. Your hands are too stained, your record too shameful, and your conscience too deadened by greed.
History will not be kind to cowards in power who mocked a revolution while kneeling to imperial puppeteers.
Burkina Faso may be under military leadershipโbut it walks upright. Nigeria may claim democracyโbut it crawls in chains.
