Other nations are busy being innovative. Robotics, AU and stuff. But Africans is just how to loot, get power, kill and loot. There's no nation without corrupt politicians, but Nigeria nay Africa has the most senseless politicians and officials in the world.

Nonsense and Thiéfnubu. But you know the drug kingpin cannot be separated from stealing. He was born that way you know.

The INTERIM head of State and mandate thief of the FRN, who unfortunately doubles as the INTERIM ECOWAS chairperson, I believe initiated an Anti-coup force. Well, here is a good, albeit negative way to test their effectiveness.
