Trump’s Revisitionist Foreign Policy. Its Consequences for International Relations.

Trump’s Revisitionist Foreign Policy. Its Consequences for International Relations. The reemergence of Mr. Trump in Washington, D.C sent shock waves across the comity of nations. In the next four years international politics could be uncertain as President Trump asserts and pursues his brinkmanship policy agenda around the world. However, it might trigger-off future wider confrontation with other actors in the international system. His foreign policy goal is America first. Trump’s foreign policy agenda drives will come head-on with other state’s national interests. It could lead to a chain of reactions from those states Trump aggressively wants to undermine or encroach on in his revisionist foreign policy formulations. Those states will resist or fight back when it concerns issues of sovereignty and territorial integrity. For instance, in Panama where the Panama Canal is situated, Trump told the world that he would take the Canal by force. The brinkmanship policy of Washington...

PRESENTATION TO IJAW NATIONAL CONGRESS EMERGENCY MEETING AT IJAW HOUSE YENAGOA ON 26 MARCH 2025

PRESENTATION TO IJAW NATIONAL CONGRESS EMERGENCY MEETING AT IJAW HOUSE YENAGOA ON 26 MARCH 2025 YOUR EXCELLENCIES, DISTINGUISHED IJAW ELDERS AND CHIEFS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GREET YOU! When I received the invitation to attend this gathering, I wondered what Ijaw nation wants to achieve from a discussion in a town hall meeting at this seemingly critical and challenging period in Ijaw history. No doubt, the presentations have cleared some areas.  Throughout my service career, in training and engagements, I was constantly guided by the principle that a military is not built on the occasion of crisis. Yes, in time of crisis there could be mass recruitment of people or even conscriptions. But the core of professionals would be behind to manage the crisis. That is why I wondered what a mass recruitment is intended to achieve. There is no gain-saying that Ijaw nation has been reminded once again in very clear terms that the Ijaws are inconsequential in the country called Nigeria. They ...

AN EARLY APPEAL TO GOVERNOR DOUYE DIRI: AN OPEN LETTER

AN EARLY APPEAL TO GOVERNOR DOUYE DIRI: AN OPEN LETTER Your Excellency, Governor Douye Diri, I am compelled to write this open letter as a matter of urgent concern regarding the so-called "mega rally" being organized by a group operating under the name New Associates, Bayelsa State Chapter, allegedly in solidarity and appreciation of His Excellency, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike. Sir, the entire world is aware of the ongoing turmoil in Rivers State and the highly offensive remarks made by Nyesom Wike, where he demeaned the Ijaw people, grouping us as a mere so-called minority tribe. This, Your Excellency, is an insult of the highest order to the proud and historically significant Ijaw nation. It is crucial to recognize that Wike’s visit to Bayelsa is not one of goodwill but a calculated attempt to undermine your authority and the collective dignity of the Izon people. The so-called New Associates are nothing more than a Trojan horse—an instrument Wike intends to implant in B...
