 Social Media And Insults Is Like 5 And 6 -Shehu Sani  “Peter Obi’s claim about young people being paid to insult others on social media is not far away from the truth; but another side of the truth is that the same insults also come from the young supporters of the opposition. “Social media is not for the faint hearted. Its not a street for gentlemen. Social media and insults is like 5 and 6. If you say what the Government doesn’t like, you can be targeted. If you say what the opposition doesn’t like,you can be mobbed.  “We live in a hostile society, intolerant of contrary opinions or dissenting views.” -Senator Shehu Sani, April 2025

 South Africa demands veto rights for African nations at UN


South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has welcomed Washington's support for two permanent seats for African nations on the UN Security Council, but said refusing them veto rights would make them "second-class citizens".


On Thursday, the United States said it supported creating two permanent seats for Africa but they should not wield veto power over council resolutions, unlike the current permanent members —Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.


Not having a continent of 1.3 billion people represented on the Security Council diminishes the role of the United Nations, Ramaphosa said at a press conference, according to TRT Afrika.


However, refusing them the same rights as the other permanent members "means that we become second-class citizens once again", he said.


"We demand and require that we should have serious participation on the UN Security Council," Ramaphosa said.


"We cannot have a second-class participation as Africa on the UN Security Council."


The decision on which nations should hold the two seats would need to be up to the African Union, he added.


African nations already have three non-permanent seats on the Security Council, allocated on a rotating basis for two-year terms.


Any change in membership would first require adoption and ratification by two-thirds of the 193 member states.


Reform of the Security Council, long-stalled because of differences among its permanent members, would also need to be ratified unanimously among the five top-tier powers, which are all nuclear-armed.
