Spy360:

I guess you are calling for a comprehensive revolution.

Like do away with all White people's stuff if you think they are bad and do not mean well. If I were in your shoes I would also give that a serious thought before saying so.

Spy360:

You will only invite A001 to begin his lecture on how stupid we all are.

The point is not whether we watch European football more than African football. The question is if we are forced to watch it against our wishes.

Okpa's reply say it all, our relationship with the West should be symbiotic not parasitic. The way it is now is parasitic. Simple.

.....Benjamin Netanyahu was first elected prime minister of Israel in 1996 and left the Office in 1999 following his defeat to Ehud Barak.

He returned again as prime minister in 2009 and lost the office to oppositions in 2021 after 5 terms [12yrs] in Office.

Guess what? He is back in power again from 2022 till God knows when. Democracy right?!

Angela Merkel was Germany Chancellor from 2005 to 2021..... how many years bro? Ain't they practicing Democracy in Germany?!

Ibime:


This is parliamentary democracy. They don't elect Presidents/Prime Ministers.They only elect their local Members of Parliament and the party with the most seats then send their party leader to serve as Prime Minister/Chancellor. The Members of Parliament can also unseat the Prime Minister/Chancellor. So there are no term limits because the people do not elect a leader, they only elect their local member of parliament

Leaders in Parliamentary systems can last 20 years or 2 weeks. UK, Israel, Japan, Italy, Germany all practice various forms of parliamentary system, and they all have leaders that can last a long time (Thatcher) or few weeks (Liz Truzz). Same way Italy, Japan and Israel have long serving guys (Berlusconi, Shinzo Abe, Netanyahu) and guys that may last few weeks, while the German guys are usually long standing.

It's actually more democratic than Presidential system and my favourite form of democracy.

Rwanda is peaceful/ security is top notch but I don't understand why someone would like to hold on to power for a very long time.

This guy keeps changing constitution to hold on to power. This guy has been in power since 2000 and he is even saying he will contest next year. This to me is not democracy.

There's nothing like vice president post in Rwanda.

The guy just remove khaki, na still military en be.

OasisX:
.....if you have a Leader doing well like Kagame, allow him to keep power as long as he can.

But, if your Leader is like Biya, do everything humanly possible to oust him from Office.

monerozi5590:



No. There are no term limits for German Chancellor. This one is elected by German parliament. This one is the head of government. This one cannot sign law or declare war.

Germany has president. There's term limits for this one. This one is the head of states.

I don't even know what your position is at this point.

Are you for hanging on to power for a very long time in the guise of western democracy just like in Rwanda( changing constitution to suit his agenda) ?

Where do you belong.?

OasisX:


....where I stand is clear bro. If as a Leader your policies are helping the country grow and developing well, hang on to power until you achieve your targets.

Roland17:


If that is what you got then that’s you. All we are saying is, HOLD YOUR CRIMINAL LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ROT AFRICA IS ENDURING.

Stop blaming the West at your convenience for the mess in Africa.

FOR ONCE! Let us hold ourselves and own our failures as a continent. Being Pan African doesn’t translate into blaming the West for every little thing!
If anything, it means taking ownership of your failures and finding ways to address them locally.

Is France forcing them to stay in CFA? Some countries have left and some CHOSE to stay

Spy360:

Yes. And that's what we are against.

@Ibime

Let’s not forget to remind them that 40 out of 54 African countries print their currencies in Europe, including countries that were not colonized by the French.

Remind them that even some European countries like Denmark print their currency outside of Denmark because it is cheaper.

Remind them that France pays incredible amounts of interests for helping them defend their currency from inflation and for keeping it.

Most importantly, remind them that they have leaders who need to be held to the highest standard!

Spy360:

These are not practicing democracy.

Like what Mone.. said, do what's constitutional. If the constitution allows for life tenure no problem as long as the poeple are OK with it.

As for Africa right now, based on where we are as a developing continent, no leader should last more than two tenures.

raumdeuter:


There are countries who have left CFA, have they been invaded? There are non French colonies who voluntarily opted to be part of CFA

raumdeuter:


Why? Are you the people of the place? If they want just 1 tenure or they want 10 tenures what is your own

Gadaffi wey most Africans like to celebrate, how many tenures did he use

Brother, isn't Niger trying to pull out? Why is France asking Nigeria to invade them?

On one hand you ask them to leave then ignore the other hand holding them down.

Don't worry, these countries are already pushing to leave FrancAfrique

grandstar:


I can just imagine the collosal cost involved. It would cost billions if not tens of billions to maintain a rigid peg to the Euro

Nigeria and Ghana which are not CFA nations have seen their currencies lose over 75% over the pass 10 years while the CFA has maintained the same rate for close to 30 years (next year makes it 30).

The currency is definitely overvalued.

raumdeuter:


Trying to pull out? How long does a pull out take? Make the announcement and print your own money sharp.

Spy360:
You could as well ask France to stop buying crude oil or gold from Africa.

The idea is to have a symbiosis not parasitism.

Spy360:

France is using the mandatory foreign reserve of those African countries to keep their currency afloat.

But even if France wants to do so, it should not be mandatory.

The $3 billion crude repayment loan the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited announced it sealed with the African Export-Import (Afrexim) Bank has reportedly stalled as other lenders that were supposed to be a part of the syndicated transaction are said to have backed out sources tell MoneyCentral.

“Afrexim was supposed to put down only $250 million which was to help bring on board other lenders as they are already heavily exposed to Nigeria and have obligor limits. The NNPC MD Mele Kyari then announced the money was to be used to shore up the naira and other lenders got cold feet,” a source told MoneyCentral.

There is no mention of the deal on Afrexim Bank’s website a search by MoneyCentral showed. Meanwhile the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) gross reserves have not seen any accretion, and are down 0.2% to $33.68 billion since the announcement was made on August 16th.

The West African region already accounted for 45% of loans from the Afrexim Bank as at the first quarter of 2023, according to data from its financials.

If they don’t sell to the West, who are they selling to? Are the West getting the crude oil for free?
