USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: What is really wrong with the US?

Re - " What is really wrong with the US?" and "Why has US gone to sleep?" - a reply to Femi Olajide's prevarications

He wants to know :  What is really wrong with the US?" and "Why has US gone to sleep?" 

"2 Russian spies in the white house"? 

As JFK once said, " And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

It's not ironic that it's a baffled Nigerian of the never expect light always pedigree -  the never expect light always syndrome, a Great Nigeria that has famously been known to have been blowing his own horn for the better part of the last half century after Independence , forever boasting about being " The sleeping giant of Africa" that is asking these kinds of questions from back home or the Diaspora, quite literally from wherever his feet happen to be planted at the moment, 

Yesterday, my Irish-American buddy ( from California) who seems to think that I'm related to Sammy Davis, told me the joke one more time (he likes telling me this joke) that Sammy Davis Jnr and his friends (the Rat Pack) were out dining and having a good time at one of the restaurants where the sign at the window proclaimed "No Blacks Allowed", when in walked some brethren from the Ku Klux Klan and said in unison, all three of them, "There's a nigger in here !",  at which point Davis Jnr jumps up, throws his hands in the air and asks," Where?" 

The Donald Trump - Elon Musk phenomenon,

the most powerful dude on the planet teaming up

with the richest dude on God's piece of earthly estate

and everybody's talking about it; in these days of banality,

days of wine and roses, even the butler, he's got something to prove…

Question to Femi Olajide: Has the US gone to sleep? Deep sleep? Is the USA taking a nap?

The equivalent of the Trump-Musk scenario would be if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu created a DOGE ministry (to cut the wastage, leakages, redundancies, ghost names on salary vouchers etc)

teamed up with Aliko Dangote by appointing him director-general of that ministry. 

And what a fruitful partnership that would be for the country! Talking about " transformative leadership",  on a much larger scale President Tinubu would be doing a thousand fold for Nigeria, what he did for Lagos whilst he was governor of that state and 10,000fold what Dele Farotimi's Peter Obi could not and did not achieve for Anambra. 

In five minutes from now at 22.30  it's the premier of  the documentary No Other Land on SVT 2

Why has US gone to sleep?

My first thought is that the US have 2 Russian spies in the white house and getting information on the cheap.

I can bet my last tuppence on it that I'm not so off the mark.

What intelligence clearance level does Musk have to be mining so much information about American workers?

Now, he has all the emails of government workers and only God knows what else.

The trick with their MO(modus operandi)is to go against the normal norm of espionage being covert. Now they're doing it korokoro overtly and all the intelligence agencies are knocked for six.

Trump and Musk are definitely working against America and not for it. Mark my word.

Femi Olajide
