Buhari’s government will fail if it continues along Jonathan’s path - Emir of Kano global9jainfo.blogspot.

Emir Muhammad Sanusi II
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi, on Wednesday attributed the current economic recession in the country to inability of the past administrations to diversify the economy.
Sanusi said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will fail if it continues to thread the path followed by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Sanusi made the remarks in a paper he delivered at the ongoing 15th meeting of the Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development Planning in Kano.
He said there was the urgent need for the country to return to the drawing board and expand the economy through wise investment for the economic growth and development of the country.
He said: “If we do not expand the economy through wise investment, we can end up in classical Malthusian situation.
“If this government continues to behave the way the past government behaved, we will end up where Jonathan ended.”
Sanusi said in a situation where one sits down with a telephone call to make N1 billion without investing a single Kobo, that system is wrong and unsustainable.
He lamented that in spite of the past experiences we had on our socio-economic challenges, the country was still making the same mistakes as it cannot process tomato paste.
Sanusi said: “In a situation where we cannot process tomato, tomato paste is being imported from China, it is sad.”
The title of the paper was: “Nigeria in search of new growth model.”

Pope not involved in Colombian peace deal- Vatican

Pope Francis Pope Francis has turned down a request to play a role in the peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group. The Vatican in a statement issued on Wednesday in in Vatican City said that an invitation was sent to his Holiness in early August to appoint a representative to participate in the committee that selected the judges for the talks. The statement said that though Pope Francis supported the peace process, he, however, reiterated that he would not get involved in Colombian peace deal. It said that Pope was praying for the enlightenment of the hearts and minds of those who were called to promote the common good of the Colombian nation. A deal was announced last week, putting an end to five decades of internal conflict between government forces and the FARC rebels. The agreement, which needed to be ratified through a referendum in Oct. 2, would entail setting up a special court to grant amnesties or pu...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
