How Foreign Interests Betrayed Nigeria’s Heroes and Installed Their Killers
As a rule of thumb, whenever you hear Western powers praise an African leader like Mandela or Khama, understand they served foreign interests more than their own people. When the same voices demonize someone like Sani Abacha, pause and re-examine your assumptions. Those critics once bombed Nigerian communities and trained exiles for insurgency, all to remove him. Key figures such as Kayode Fayemi and Wole Soyinka were backed by the CIA during that era. If Nigeria had been truly sovereign, their actions would have been seen as high treason. Today I live in exile while the real traitors—those who “fought Abacha” at foreign behest—occupy positions of power. As Kissinger warned, America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests. The two images here illustrate how you are punished for defying those interests and rewarded for compliance.
