Nigeria Presidential Elections: The world Will do nothing

By Maazi Obinna Akuwudike

Nigerians keep calling our the world especially the United States of America and our former colonial masters, the British, over the impunity going on in the country.

Western movies have convinced us that the United States stands for the wellbeing of the downtrodden and they will step up to help the people, but the fact remains that the United States is a facilitator of the wrong happening in Nigeria.

If they are not, why then are they giving support to somebody accused by their own court, of drug related offences, to become president of Nigeria?

I know how effective the American CIA is and they know as well as every Nigerian, what happened during the so-called election.

Why then are they silent?

Does America stand to gain more with corrupt leaders in Nigeria, than leaders who mean well for their people?

The British, we already know have always backed the anti-people leader in every country they colonised.

Nigeria is no exception.

Britain have always helped impose those who are against the well-being of the common Nigerian. Goodluck Jonathan meant well for Nigeria yet the British helped crown Muhammadu Buhari, the foreigner who has almost destroyed Nigeria.

Somehow I tend to buy into Nnamdi Kanu's claims that Buhari is a foreigner and Buhari seemed to confirm it by planning to retire to a foreign land after he steps aside, unlike other past leaders that stay in-country.

I wasn't surprised when the British congratulated Tinubu, despite the controversy that surrounded the so-called “election”.

I know the British MI6 are as formidable as the American CIA and they know what happened in Nigeria.

Yet they congratulated Tinubu.

Peter Obi won the election and the world knows it yet theyback those who rigged the system.

Does the world have the interest of Nigerians at heart or their personal interest at heart?

This unfair treatment is why conflicts keep arising, because they world refused to be fair.

I weep for Nigerians putting their hopes on countries like the US and the UK. I'm not a fan of the Russians but I don't think they'll let this kind of impunity stand, especially when their own court found the so-called President-elect wanting over drug related offences.

The world cannot help Nigeria. Nigerians should stand up and help themselves.
