China And Westerns, Helping Africa Or Just Playing Games To Keep Us Were We Are by Mrquote: 7:24pm On May 13, 2020 |
Many people should be asking this question to other nations with close ties to Africa. When you observe the activities of Western governments in Africa you are likely to conclude that everyone is playing this game. The continent is very rich in natural resources but many Africans remain largely impoverished. It’s true that Africa is still underdeveloped in regards to industrialization, modernization and urbanization. For Africans to move forward they require huge foreign direct investments (FDI) rather than receiving charity or loans that nobody believes they can pay back. In regards to loans from the World Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) that get sent to Africa, in many cases only the Wall Street bankers profit from the schemes. They provide cash guaranteed by WB and IMF and charge interest and fees for the loans granted. If worse comes to worse, the central bankers will pay back the Wall Street banks. Meanwhile, African governments remain stuck with the debts. That’s a scary proposition for them. The Western governments look like they are delivering much needed aid but instead they are grabbing land rights to extract natural resources from African countries. In many instances, Western-based multinationals made backroom deals with African government officials. That’s why you may have heard many stories about African leaders and their families living in luxury style with large personal funds hidden in Swiss bank accounts. Hence, allegedly corrupt officials have gottenvery rich in Africa, while the multinationals scoring huge profits from business deals could avoid paying windfall taxes to African countries and that resulted in Africans not benefiting from it. Consequently, Africa stayed poor since there was no investment incentive for Western companies to build vital infrastructure for the continent. They only cared about the natural resources and did not think in a forward manner, such as build Africa to generate greater prosperity for all. Thanks Thomas pauken II for the inspiration. |

Mrquote: Nigeria needs restructuring and decentralization of power. People who don't share common goals shouldn't be working together. No country can be developed with this type of system of government we're running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvKONiRHgkU |

@ O.p but ofcourse there intentions are to keep us down. If they invest in Africa we will be on par with there billionaires nd giant corporations. These corporations that run the western economies want evrything ours for themselves. They prefer to wait/influence till a country is a failed state before they come in to invest so that they do whtever they like because no one is keeping tabs on them than for them to invest in a stable country because the laws will favour the indigenes and not this sharks. Everyone wants a peice of Africa nd non of them is sincere about helping us. Na only our resources they want. If there was a way they will kill us nd take our lands like what happened to the red Indians (original settlers) of the U.S nd natives of Australia. |
