TINUBU SNUBBED! TRUMP INVITES OTHER AFRICAN LEADERS TO WHITE HOUSE – NIGERIA LEFT IN THE COLD
In a shocking diplomatic twist, U.S. President Donald Trump has excluded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from a select meeting of African leaders invited to the White House on July 9, focusing on “commercial opportunities” and “mutual prosperity.” Instead, leaders from Senegal, Mauritania, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, and Gabon have been handpicked for the high-profile lunch and talks.
But why was Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and so-called “giant,” left out?
Let’s be brutally honest…
Rampant Corruption:
Billions vanish in plain sight. From the missing $2.1 billion arms deal during the Jonathan era to recent NNPC financial opacity and subsidy scams under Tinubu’s watch — corruption in Nigeria is not only deep-rooted but largely unpunished. When EFCC becomes more of a show than a serious anti-graft body, the world watches and judges.
Religious Extremism & Global Perception:
Only weeks ago, chants of "Iran! Iran!" echoed during protests in northern Nigeria amidst Middle East tensions — sparking concern about extremist sympathies. These optics don’t sit well with Washington’s national security lens.
Insecurity & Bloodshed:
From endless banditry in the North, to the unchecked killing of Christians in Kaduna and Benue, the Nigerian government has consistently failed to act decisively. Armed groups roam freely while citizens live in fear. How can a government that cannot secure its people inspire global confidence?
Policy Uncertainty & Economic Instability:
Investors flee. Inflation climbs. Forex confusion. The so-called economic reforms have crushed the common man while benefitting the elite. Who would want to discuss “commercial opportunities” in a nation where policies change at the speed of tweets?
Now, contrast this with those Trump did invite:
Senegal – Political stability, peaceful democratic transitions, active U.S. partnerships in development and security.
Mauritania – Key ally in the Sahel, anti-terror cooperation, and growing investment frameworks.
Liberia – Historic U.S. ties, improving governance structures, and post-conflict reforms.
Guinea-Bissau – Recent anti-drug crackdowns, governance restructuring, and quiet diplomacy gains.
Gabon – Post-coup transition with commitment to democratic reform and green economy alignment.
These countries, though smaller in size, are showing signs of serious leadership, transparency, and international alignment — things Nigeria, sadly, is struggling with.
A National Wake-Up Call
This snub is a slap in the face and a loud message: the world no longer sees Nigeria as serious. Not about business, not about peace, not about leadership.
Nigerians, when will we demand better?
When will leaders be held accountable?
When will we stop defending failure?
