1961: Nigeria 🇳🇬 was the first African nation to break diplomatic relations with France 🇫🇷, and the day was 5 January 1961. That was not a quiet diplomatic quarrel. That was Nigeria standing up in front of the whole world and saying, enough is enough. France had shown complete disregard for the health and wellbeing of African people. France had gone into the Sahara Desert and exploded an atomic bomb, the third one, on 27 December 1960. They called it Gerboise Rouge. Nigeria had warned them before the test. African leaders had warned them. The people had warned them. The fear was simple and real. The harmattan wind could carry radioactive fallout south, into Nigeria and into other African countries, and poison the air, the water, the soil, and the bodies of innocent people who had never asked for any bomb. France tested anyway. Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa did not hide behind a statement. On the evening of Dec. 28th 1960, The French Ambassador, Raymond Offroy, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and told of the Nigerian Government's “concern” over France's explosion of an atomic bomb in the Sahara, then January 5th, 1961, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa summoned the French ambassador in Lagos, Raymond Offroy, and told him face to face that Nigeria was cutting diplomatic relations with France. He personally handed him the letter. In that letter, Balewa spoke of the greatest resentment at the unalloyed intransigence of the French Government and the utter disregard with which that Government had treated the feelings of Nigerians on the question of atomic tests in the Sahara Desert. Then came the part the French would never forget. The ambassador and his embassy staff were given only forty eight hours to leave Nigeria. Forty eight hours. And to make the message even sharper, Nigeria barred French planes and vessels from using Nigerian airports and ports, cancelled French transit rights through Nigeria, banned French ships from its coastal waters, and froze French assets in the country. How I wish that Nigeria would give birth to such courageous leaders and leadership today, my fellow Africans. Unfortunately we have losers running the government of Nigeria

This was Macron's response to a Burkinabe student that asked him about assisting Burkina Faso with Electricity: You speak to me as if France was still a colonial power, but I do not want to take care of electricity problems in the universities of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫.. that's his job, that's the job of the president. So on the other hand, I reassure you. Oh, what's this.. he's going away? Stay there. Maybe he's off to repair the air conditioning~ Emmanuel macron 🇫🇷 This was how Emmanuel macron insulted former Burkina Faso president, during a press conference in 2017, when he still had full access in BURKINA FASO. Now Ibrahim Traore has taken over, France has been pushed out of Burkina Faso for Good and is crumbling quickly, and Burkina Faso has taken full control of its electricity, but the Western Imperialist are upset about it . Thanks to the revolution, the dignity of the Burkinabe people has been restored 🇧🇫

That is Ibrahim Traore a short while ago. Burkinabes are having fun today.
