TRUMP’S INAUGURAL SPEECH WORST EVER – EX-MINISTER, AKINYEMI

Bolaji Akinyemi 1024x576 1

TRUMP’S INAUGURAL SPEECH WORST EVER – EX-MINISTER, AKINYEMI

Former Nigerian Minister of External Affairs, Prof Bolaji Akinyemi, has lambasted President Donald Trump of the United States over his inaugural speech.

Akinyemi, a former Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, NIIA, pointed out that Trump’s speech has nothing for the rest of the world.

According to the foremost Professor of Political Science, Trump, who returned as the 47th President of the United States, spoke as a warrior and not a world leader.

Trump was sworn-in at a ceremony in Washington, D.C on January 20, 2025.

The President vowed that ”All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to where they came from.”

Trump said that he ‘was saved by God to make America great again’.

However, Prof Akinyemi said it was the worst inaugural speech ever, which, according to him, carried threats for the rest of the world.

”Trump spoke as a warrior and not as a world leader.

”The worst inaugural address I will hear in my life is the one I heard today… There was nothing there for the rest of the world…It was more of an address threatening different parts of the world,” he said

    AVOID CONFRONTATION WITH TRUMP – EX-NIIA DG ADVISES TINUBU

    AVOID CONFRONTATION WITH TRUMP – EX-NIIA DG ADVISES TINUBU A Professor of Political Science and former Director-General, Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Bolaji Akinyemi, has advised President Bola Tinubu to avoid confrontation with the newly inaugurated 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Akinyemi gave this advice on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday. “If I were President Tinubu, I would try to steer clear of antagonising him because there is nothing a bully likes more than taking on people who are not strong enough to resist him. “You know there is that African proverb that if you are not strong enough to take on a bully and you challenge him, you will only suffer more for it. “That’s the advice I would give President Tinubu: try to avoid having a confrontation with him, even if that means he does things that annoy or step on the interests of Nigeria. There are ways in which you could address his actions without confrontation,” he said. The university don, who is a former Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs. NIIA, described Trump’s inaugural speech as uninspiring, shocking, and depressing. According to him, rather than rallying the world for peace, Trump used his speech to threaten the rest of the world with a bouquet of hostile policies, including taking back the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and engaging in tariff wars, among others. Akinyemi said the US president would soon learn that there are repercussions to policies and jingoism, stressing that the world is in for a rough ride during the four years of the Trump presidency. The former Nigerian Minister of External Affairs said Nigeria is no longer a focus for the 78-year-old most powerful president, and that Africa’s most populous nation should not expect anything extraordinary from the Trump presidency. Donald Trump was sworn in as president on Monday, succeeding Joe Biden, four years after an electoral defeat that truncated his second-term ambition

    ANAMBRA SECURITY OUTFIT RAIDS KIDNAPPERS’ DEN, DEMOLISHES TWO BUILDINGS USED FOR HOLDING HOSTAGES

    ANAMBRA SECURITY OUTFIT RAIDS KIDNAPPERS’ DEN, DEMOLISHES TWO BUILDINGS USED FOR HOLDING HOSTAGES Anambra State’s newly launched security force, Agunechemba, also known as Operation Udo Ga-Achị, has busted a kidnap gang. The force raided the kidnappers’ hideouts in Isiagu, Awka South Local Government Area amid the fight against crime in the state. Several video clips seen on Monday by SaharaReporters, which had gone viral on social media, show Agunechemba operatives with a bulldozer demolishing two houses allegedly used by kidnappers to keep their victims until ransoms are paid. According to a voice overheard in one of the videos, the two houses separated by a perimeter fence, were used by kidnappers to keep their hostages. The houses were demolished on Sunday in Isiagu community, in the Awka South Local Government Area of the state. A leader of the group, who spoke in Igbo in one of the video clips, claimed that the landlords or owners of the buildings were aware that their properties were being used for illegal activities, including holding kidnapped victims. He said: “Happy Sunday to everybody. Where we are now is Isiagu in Awka South LGA. If you look around me, you will see operatives of Operation Udo Ga-Achị, security outfit of Anambra state, Agunechemba. We are here on the authority of the governor of Anambra state, Charles Chukwuma Soludo. “We are here to show that what our governor said is what is being done. Our governor has determined that Anambra must be well again. Our governor has said that he doesn’t want armed robbery, kidnapping, hard drugs, among others including those who are fake native doctors. “One of the reasons why we are here today… if you look, where we are is Isiagu and these two compounds and houses you are seeing is where the kidnappers are hiding and keeping their hostages. The operatives of the Operation Udo Ga-Achị have arrested some of them and through their confessional statements, discovered that these houses are where they keep their victims. “And like the law of Anambra state has stated that where the kidnappers are using to keep their victims, the place has become the property of the state. Therefore, the two compounds where the kidnappers have been using for hostage keeping have now become the property of Anambra state government. “And following the testimonies of the victims that were kept in these houses, the landlord of the houses knew about the incident. Again, the said landlords have never reported to the traditional ruler of the community, the president general of the community or even reported to the local government and the state, claiming that they were not involved in what was going, which shows that they were part of the kidnapping business. “We have also recovered items that show that both houses were used to keep hostages. In one of the compounds, a mask was recovered among other things recovered before now. So, we are here today to take possession of the property as directed by the governor and the chief security officer of the state. The properties now belong to Anambra because the owners knew that their property were being used for kidnapping.” “Everybody should know their neighbour and know what they do for a living. And like our government promised yesterday that if you give credible information that will lead to te arrest of kidnapper(s), you stand a chance to get a financial reward of N5 million,” the voice added. The demolition of the hideouts is in line with Governor Soludo’s declaration and the newly signed Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025, which states that any house used as a hideout for criminal activities will be forfeited and demolished by the state government.
