Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by xin5: 11:19am On Aug 30, 2023 |
I think we are forgetting that the French, USA, and UK countries that we are driving out of Africans have had a great impact on our lives. They gave us independence, but we still blame them for our underdevelopment, which is not their fault and yet if they decide to intervene in our politics and remove bad leadership, we will be the ones to complain... During the time of epidemic, suffering, and famine, they have always shown their support for Africa in one way or another. Now ask yourself this question: can raw uranium, crude oil, and gold be cooked for African consumption? Do we even have the machinery to process these materials by ourselves? African's needs White more than they need us, they have been supporting us from day one unlike the ARABS who have their own mineral resources and don't even care if they is a continent call African or sufferings going on African. I am not against coups here and there if it means removing bad leadership. But why take it out on these white folks who have tried to make amends for what their ancestors did to us? If there is a war outbreak today, I think the French, USA, and United Kingdom will be the first to intervene. They know us well. they have been part of us..They've assisted us for a long time despite our cultural differences we are the ones who failed to emulate them, why are Africans sounding ungrateful these days? HOW many millions of Dollars, pounds, and euros are being spent on Africa Soil yearly? It's not this white folks fault we have bad leadership but driving them out of AFRICAN JUST LIKE THAT SHOWS HOW UNGRATEFUL WE ARE. Now we want to turn to Russia, China, and North Korea, countries that don't give a hint if Africa falls to the ground because they have their own resources. during Africans suffering hardly any contributions from them. This pains me so much that when I think about it I weep for Africa. BECAUSE ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT MINERAL RESOURCES....ITS ABOUT.. WHOSE OUR GUY? when we AFRICANS were down. Let's not forget We becoming ungrateful Handling things in an ungrateful way and manner and I know it will definitely backfire to we AFRICANS IN THE LONG RUN. This is an humble opinion coming from an African to all Africans that have projected same mentality not Just Nigeria THANK YOU Nlfpmod 1 Like 1 Share

African countries are not united and will never be. Every part of Africa pursue foreign policy objectives that suits them. The demonisation of the Western led World order in Africa is partly caused by the West themselves, Propaganda of Russia and then, by militant Islam. A large chunk of individuals that hate the West are doing that for religious purposes. Everything they accused West of doing against Africans, are also being done by the Arabs in the East, but they will not complain because of Islam; they dare not complain. In addition, the activities of the France in Africa opened them up for antagonism. Unlike other Western powers, France is neck-deep in the affairs of several nations in Africa, thereby putting them in collision course with other interested parties. France wouldn't let their former colony exert the operational independence required of a sovereign nation. France would deliberately enthrone minority group in a country, and the minority group will always be beholden to France interest to remain in power: they enthroned a Muslim in Majority Christian Gabon, they foist Christians on the Majority Muslim Burkina faso, they also enthroned minority in Niger Republic. They did the same in Cameroon before Paul Biya took power. France also is fond of luring leaders to sit tight in power, thereby requiring them to permanently need France help to remain in power, even against the people's need. It is happening in Cameroon, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Benin Republic and others. Therefore, France has something to do with their current travails. The post colonial treaty that France has with her former colony in Africa is criminal. So, Africans are not being ungrateful. It is important for the Western powers to conduct their affairs with African nations with respect and not with intention to loot and dictate. I, however, agree that Western led order has no palatable replacement in Africa. Democracy is the best way to lead a nation. The so called World order being propagated by Russia and China against the west with tacit support of certain religious or political interest will not work for Africans. We have experienced dictatorship and it didn't work. 1 Like |

xin5:Go and explain it to an average African living from hand to mouth. You seem to be a bit comfortable and do not have an idea of the level of poverty in Africa. These countries engage the greedy African leaders to loot Africa or how do you explain their silence on bad leadership in Africa? They will capitalize on all these and lure our best brains out of the country and you think they are doing it out of love? Pray you do not fall sick and require a specialist for your treatment, that is when you will have a clear reality that they have robbed us blind. forget the sovereign nonsense shit. Let us kuku know that we are on our own instead of giving us false hopes, that is when we will start building Africa. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Trapnews: That’s a great word. Especially if you might need to be flown out and you don’t have the means. However, whites are not our problems. We are our problems. They didn’t ask us to keep looting. African leaders are the real enemies and not the whites. Democracy has really allowed corruptions because they don’t fear any seizure in power by other military counterparts if it was a military rule. Mandela was a civilian and he did well. But fact is that the freedom people enjoy today might elude them under military rules. Military toppers these days are our to enriched themselves also. Burkina Faso hasn’t experienced any good change since military took over. Africa is a jumbo Yet the coups here are there are set backs for Africa. Africa has not much of good leaders and followers are worst. Imagine Bosun Tijani, the new communication minister who abused the govt severally over paspo and even called the senators morons went ahead to accept a ministerial role. He even went ahead to apologize publicly to the senators. People like him who had the opportunity staring them in their faces to help set a good record and a reminder to the powers that Youths are angry blew it up. He could have use the opportunity to turn them down and asked for a better country. Tha will send a subtle message. We have millions of people like that among the youths. I know when Charlie boy was bribed during the shut Nass movement years ago. I have a close ally who is living on billions worth of fedgov scheme today because he took part in that movement. And he’s a youth. We are black and our attitudes are black 1 Like |

Razgas:Please do not get me wrong. The purpose of the screening at the embassy is to ensure that the best of us cross over. I will start taking them serious when they start issuing visa to those who want better opportunities and require the right environment. I am certain you've not been to their embassies, these guys do not love us. I am certain they will.never subject their citizens to what they subject us to at the embassy.

Trapnews:I live in Australia. Have been to multiple countries around the world. The wounds Africa suffer are self inflicted. The west are never going to spoon-feed us. Certain things we must do for ourselves, discover for ourselves and implement for ourselves. UK left the same systems in all their colonies. Their Asian colonies like India, UAE, Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar etc developed with what they had. Africa on the other hand let tribalism, corruption, incompetence and mindless violence take over the continent. The result is a continent many years behind the rest of the world while sitting on a pot of gold. |
Re: Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by Trapnews: 1:31pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Razgas:Your point is clear, but it is important to note that the importance of raw materials cannot be overemphasized. Africa has the raw materials they require for their development and you think they will be glad to see Africa develop? It is easy for them to stop our leaders from taking looted funds abroad but they will rather turn blind eye and be quick to come up with policies that will hinder a common citizen from travelling to their countries. The truth is, these guys are milking us, forget the insignificant aids we get from them, all na strategy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Trapnews:Do you think China or Russia will return Abacha's loot if it was in their possession. Ibori was sent to prison by UK. Nigeria where he stole the money celebrated him on his return. There are money laundering laws in place that will help Nigeria stop its leaders from sending stolen money abroad and the West has shown more than any other people, the willingness to help us. They can't do it all for us they are not our parents and we are not under-age |

Razgas:All of that exists in the west and usa but you guys never see it that way because they made you hate yourself and have low self esteem. The west never had the right to colonize us in the first place. The fact that you don’t see it that way is part of the problem.

Re: Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by Nobody: 2:44pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Naijaboy18:it is us that needs to know there is nothing special about us. The West themselves were colonised. Rome colonised much of Europe, including UK. U.S was colonised by UK. China was colonised by Japan. That we were colonised is no excuse for us to work against our interests while perpetually blaming West. Did the same West not colonised Singapore which is currently the most developed country in the world without even having any natural resources. The most developed African country is South Africa. Built by who? West! Low self esteem is not as bad as conscientious ignorance. It is the worst form of ignorance when you don't know where your problem is actually from. People like you are no different from poor people who believe their poverty is caused by an old uncle in the village. |
Re: Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by Nobody: 2:53pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Razgas:Really so South Africans didn’t build anything then? Mumu west worshipper. Being part of Rome is not the same as being colonized like the uk and France did in Africa. Worshipping the west is not going to develop our lands. Is it not obvious already that not all Africans are capable of doing western style governance? Instead of hating your own think like your one of us instead of them. 3 Likes |

Re: Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by Nobody: 8:32pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Naijaboy18:Rome colonised Europe and used them as slaves for many years. Know your history. The fact that you would call me 'mumu', just for disagreeing with you even though you know little or nothing about me, tells you something about a typical Nigerian. You won't see this mindset you just exhibited here in the west. South Africa was already a highly developed country by 1994. Whatever was built by the blacks since then was a bonus only. Realising the importance of following the footsteps of the west has developed the following Asian countries Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia etc. What has stopped any African country from doing things their way and subsequently developing? Bahamas is the most developed black country. Coincidentally they are closer to the west than any other black country (except south Africa). |
Re: Are Africans Becoming Ungrateful? (opinion) by Nobody: 8:35pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Trapnews:OK but is that the fault of the west too? Has ibori or indeed any Nigerian politician been made to face consequences for their wrong doings? Hasn't the west tried to bring some accountability to our politicians? |

xin5: For Africa to have any chance at growth France has to change its mode of engagement with the economies of its former colonies. My problem with France's exit though is that the Sahel will be in a mess security-wise...the lazy Arabs and their equally lazy Berber/Fula cousins will simply hand it all over to Al Qaeda; and those idiotic demons won't rest until they plant their flag on the Atlantic coast. |
