In a rather ironic twist of global diplomacy, Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has just landed in France for what the presidency calls “high-level bilateral discussions.” But here’s the kicker: French President Emmanuel Macron has left France and is currently in Egypt attending a strategic summit in Cairo.
Now hold on… 🤔
Did Nigeria’s president just fly across continents for a meeting — only to find his host out of town? Or is this part of some bigger international chess game?
🇳🇬 What’s President Tinubu Doing in France?
Sources from Aso Rock say the president’s visit is “focused on deepening economic and security ties,” especially in areas like energy transition, technology, and regional peacekeeping.
But Nigerians are asking:
“With inflation at record highs and the naira gasping for air, shouldn’t we be fixing our mess at home first?”
“Is France even giving us the kind of partnership we need right now, or just more loans and sweet words?”
🇫🇷 Meanwhile, Macron Is in Egypt?
Yes, while President Tinubu’s plane touched down in Paris, Macron was miles away, meeting Arab leaders on energy and Middle East security in Cairo.
And that raises eyebrows.
-
Was Macron aware of Tinubu’s visit?
-
Are these meetings overlapping or clashing?
-
Or is this just another episode of “Africa on Hold While the West Prioritizes Its Interests?”
Let’s Talk About It!
What do YOU think this means?
đź“Ś Is Nigeria being sidelined on the international stage?
đź“Ś Should African leaders keep flying out for summits with leaders who may not even show up?
đź“Ś Or is this all just a scheduling coincidence that the media is blowing out of proportion?
