Nigeria has once again called on the United Nations to grant Africa a permanent seat on the Security Council, reaffirming its status as the "Giant of Africa." This isn't a new demand—former President Muhammadu Buhari, along with leaders from Ghana, South Africa, Sierra Leone, and others, have consistently pushed for two permanent seats to represent Africa's 54 nations and 1.2 billion people, aiming for a more inclusive and representative global order. In a recent conversation with Public Affairs Analyst, Dr. Ambrose Igboke, he expressed a different view, arguing that Nigeria may have already missed this rare opportunity. What do you think? Is Africa's voice on the global stage being sidelined, or is there still time to secure a seat at the table? #UNSecurityCouncil #AfricaRepresentation #GlobalGovernance #NigeriaAtUN #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #AfricaOnTheGlobalStage #SecurityCouncilReform #PublicAffairs #NigeriaLeadership

Our Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) desperately needs diplomatic finesse - and in the Thabo Mbeki era of the early 2000s, we paved this positive start. It is important to note that DIRCO's interests should be at an advanced level regarding South Africa X Africa relations by understanding the pains of our neighbours and intimately engaging in peace-making and relief missions. The desperation comes from our need to facilitate and be a reliable nation that engages in dialogue for a comprehensive SADC and better African diplomacy. The GenZ in South Africa have a colloquial language known as “Qwell” - mainly on TikTok and the purpose of this slang is to finesse people. And for a nation that has enjoyed principal status in the region and the continent, we ought to be “Qwelling on Africa’s highest level.” We possess the appropriate identity and resources too, therefore, with the GNU we ought to be taking advantage of this power. My remarks are nestled in the context of the upcoming SADC summit in Zimbabwe and the BRICS summit in Russia. The South Africa X Africa diplomatic relations team need to set a plan that serves as a footprint for strong trade, peace and security, and most importantly immigration and migration issues we encounter as a middle power. #SouthAfrica #DIRCO #MiddlePower #Africandiplomacy #Africanrelations #SADCsummit #BRICSsummit #BRICSgaze

Bendinethemba (I had hoped) that South Africa would have a razor teeth team leading African policies and diplomacy taking its much-deserved position as a regional and sub-regional power in Africa. Yet as the saying goes inja inamazinyo kodwa ayilumi (“the dog may possess teeth yet not bite or be harmful”), I say this in the context of some knowledge of the Miss South Africa withdrawal of Chichi, a South African by citizenship with Nigerian and Mozambican parents. In the middle power theory, South Africa, possesses the necessary characteristics of influence, leadership, and level-headedness hence when criticism is laid against our country for matters of Afrophobia or Xenophobia we ought to have our razor teeth African diplomacy team addressing and actioning on the relationships we have with our friends in the continent. The undeniable reality is that we domestically have cases of misplaced anger towards foreign nationals. These have not been addressed adequately nor been spearheaded from a regional and sub-regional relations perspective. South Africa is not an island and the perpetual allowance of the mishandling of African foreign affairs can cause fragmentation. The possibility of change still exists only if the dog's teeth get sharpened; inja inamazinyo nje, mayilume. #Africandiplomacy #Africanrelations #SouthAfrica #MiddlePowers #Diplomacydialogues #BRICSgaze
