So because republic of niger don't have the technology 2 develop her uranium, then France can do whatever they want with it. mine it, take it 2 Paris while giving nigeriens peanut.

What a slave mentality!


This is why the West suspended Uganda 4rm World Bank. The president of Uganda did not allow the West 2 steal the Uranium in UGanda why living her people in darkness.

Africans have the bulk of the blame as far as the poor state of things on the continent are concerned. Only Africans can really change the conditions of the continent. You can't keep blaming the West every time.

As of now, Africa is still under Europe and Arabia as slaves, and the region will remain so for a long time.

Most Africans worship the God of the whites and Arabs, speak their language as the primary means of communication, prefer to name their kids using European or Arabic names, consider their ancestors as demonic while worshipping the ancestors of Europeans and Arabs.

The continent can't develop with this kind of slave mentality. The continent as a whole is still in slavery.

It takes a lot of intelligence and will to build a functional and prosperous society, and most Africans just don't have the required mental capacity.

It's just the plain truth. Blame your fellow Africans, not the West.

Development starts from the head, from having the right mindset, not a slave mentality. It starts from reforming the local cultures and traditions using philosophy, science, and critical thinking.

Most modern Africans don't have the mental capacity for these.

Without a healthy number of Africans embracing philosophy, science, and critical thinking in place of religion, especially Christianity and Islam, and getting rid of their ancient norms and cultural practices prevalent in African societies, Africa won't develop and grow.

Most of you people here blaming the West for Africa's woes are either Christians or Muslims. You're blaming the West without looking inward.

The more those two religions grow and develop on this continent, the faster Africa as a continent becomes worse. Only highly intelligent Africans understand this simple fact.

Africans should take responsibility for their action or inaction and stop blaming the West.

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

Niger I am sure will pull out but first French diplomatic missions should leave the country.

By virtue of your moniker it seems you come from Enugu. Now a quick question for you.


Is Britain 🇬🇧 still mining your coal? If No .......Then how come Enugu state isn't the beacon of development on the continent?

Africa is still suffering from the effects of Western colonisation. Africa for example should be a single nation state as being proposed by Julius Malema. But we were shredded into bits of mostly landlocked pieces just so that those Western countries can still maintain their share in Africa.

Look at Europe, one economy, no visas. Look at USA, look at Russia, look at China. Africa should be a single economic (at least) entity.

A001:

Everything boils down to the mental capacity of the average African. A number of the top countries today had also been colonized at one point or the other in their history, even including the Great Britain.

A number of world powers today suffered serious calamities because of wars in the past. Examples are Germany, Japan. Yet citizens of these countries invested a lot of time, mental energy, effort to build their country again into destinations that many of us admire today.

We can't keep blaming the colonizers now and then. Since Nigeria gained the so-called independence, what tangible feats have successive governments achieved?

Is the country getting better or worse after independence?

The problem of Africa is the relatively low IQ of most people on the continent.

If Africans and Europeans switch places today, give both peoples 5 or 10 years. Africans would turn the present-day Europe into Africa and Europeans would transform the present-day Africa into Europe.

Before you know it, Africans would damage places like Great Britain, Germany, France, and co we're admiring today. Those top countries will become an eye sore because of the poor maintenance culture of the average African.

We see this play out now and then when the government builds public facilities that look attractive and pleasant at the beginning, and before you know it, Nigerians would start stealing some parts or amenities of these facilities and damage the infrastructure.

Just give Lagosians a few months; that Lagos Blue Rail Line will wear a new look unless the government monitors people closely using CCTV systems and punish offenders that misuse the facility.

Is the West also responsible for the poor maintenance culture of the average Nigerian?

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.

To be honest, a lot of times we overstate the positive attributes of people within the west. They are as crooked and as bent as we are. Maintenance culture? Lol. Tell that to the mfs I saw vandalizing the walls at Jännowitzbrucke and Wansee train stations.

grandstar:


I totally disagree. The amount lodged is insuficient to defend the peg.

When a currency comes under pressure and the central bank is determined to make sure it sticks to its value, it spends large amounts from its foreign reserves to achieve that.

Why haven't any of the Francophone countries that have fractured dealings with France ditch the CFA? Make they try!. Their economies will implode, the currency they introduce will suffer a free fall.

Between 2008 and 2009, Charles Soludo spent about $20bn to ensure the exchange rate remained at 120 despite the fact that the price of oil fell from $128 to $35 per barrel

Sanusi spent about the same thing in 2012 trying to prevent the Naira losing value.

When people blame Jonathan for the depreciation in the foreign reserves, it is the central bank governors that should take the blame and not GEJ.

We just want to believe a narrative that these rich countries simply want to exploit Africa and keep these countries poor.

Their policies in the last 3 decades prove otherwise. Keeping countries poor simply means emigrants from these very same countries will flood theirs.

Also, the richer African countries become, the greater the quantity of goods they can export to them bringing greater prosperity to all.

My narrative doesn't sound sweet. It's best to nelueve the IMF and World Bank only wish is to do the bidding of the West which is to impoverish poor countries and heap on them as much misery as possible.

A001:



What you just highlighted is the issue of having strong institutions in a country. That's the basic difference. Mostly in Africa, our institutions are weak, compared with those of the West.
