About

My name is Wahab Opeyemi Badmus, and I bagged an Upper Honours (Bachelor of Arts) with 4.18 in History and Diplomatic Studies from Tai Solarin University of Education, now known as Tai Solarin Federal University of Education.


Throughout my academic journey in International Studies, I have developed a profound passion for diplomacy, foreign policy, international relations, multilingual communication, and global affairs.


During my undergraduate studies, I gained extensive knowledge in various relevant areas, including International Law, International Relations, foreign policy analysis, Diplomacy, international economic relations, the Politics of Multinational Corporations, War and Peace, and Conflict Resolution, among others. This expertise has facilitated my engagement in Research Blogging, where I share insights and analyses on my personal website, Africa & Global Power. I also disseminate much of my published content across social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X.


Currently, I volunteer with The Visionnaires, an organisation where young intellectuals convene to discuss and craft a positive impact on society. The organisation leads initiatives focused on empowerment and inspirational talks aimed at fostering self-development and personal growth for the betterment of our nation. My enthusiasm for research has led to my appointment as the Director of Research and Development at The Visionnaires.


I possess qualities such as discipline, leadership, networking, dedication, adaptability, and a strong commitment to excellence. I am open to any course or program that will further cultivate these traits, and I would eagerly welcome such opportunities.

The African Union’s Agenda 2063: Vision Document or Political Fiction?

Image
A genda 2063 is Africa’s most ambitious continental plan. It is also largely unknown to the 1.5 billion people it promises to transform. Adopted at the 24th Session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa in January 2015, Agenda 2063 is the AU’s 50-year blueprint for transforming Africa into “the global powerhouse of the future.” [1] Organised around seven aspirations — from a prosperous, integrated continent to one characterised by good governance, peace, and African cultural renaissance — it is, on paper, the most comprehensive development framework Africa has ever produced. The honest question, eleven years after its adoption and thirteen years before its midpoint, is whether Agenda 2063 is translating its ambition into measurable transformation — or whether it is joining the long archive of pan-African declarations that inspired at adoption and gathered dust thereafter. What Agenda 2063 Actually Is Agenda 2063 is operationalised th...

The New Scramble for Africa: China, Russia, and the West in 2026

Image
A frica is no longer a passive recipient of foreign interest — it is the arena where 21st-century great power competition is being decided. The original Scramble for Africa, formalised at the 1884 Berlin Conference, took less than two decades to partition an entire continent among European powers. Today’s competition is less cartographic but no less consequential. It is being fought across port concessions, military basing agreements, debt instruments, and diplomatic votes in multilateral institutions. The actors have multiplied. The stakes — for Africa’s sovereignty, development, and strategic autonomy — are higher than they have been in generations. This piece is the first in a 30-day series examining the forces shaping Africa and the world. There is no better place to begin than the question that underlies almost every other: who wants what from Africa, and what are Africans doing about it?

Reforms in Multilateral Institutions and The Challenges of Maintaining a Rule-Based International Order Amid Geopolitical Shifts

Image
  1.       Introduction to Multilateral Institutions and the Rule-Based International Order Multilateral Institutions Multilateral institutions are international organizations or frameworks that involve multiple countries working together to address global issues, promote cooperation, and establish norms and rules for international behavior. Examples include the United Nations (UN), World Trade Organization (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and regional organizations like the European Union (EU) or the African Union (AU). These institutions are founded on the principle of “multilateralism”, which emphasizes collective action, shared responsibilities, and adherence to agreed-upon rules to manage global challenges such as security, trade, human rights, and environmental issues. The key features of Multilateral Institutions included collective decision-making, norms and rules, global public goods, institutional structure, am...
