Lol Ure not being honest with these answers bt it’s fine.

If white where more selfish Europe and America won’t be as developed as it is and Africa backwards and even getting worse in everything after independence. Check urself well.

e:urope and U:S are as developed as they are because they robbed and pillaged other countries and take resources from these other countries to develop their own country.

e:urope and U:S also give themselves stronger currencies and use their organisations like I:M:F , W:orld b:ank to advise other countries to devalue their currencies which makes these other countries currencies lose value.

the biggest oil company in Nigeria is owned by b:ritish and N:etherlands.
the british still have companies operating in the countries they robbed and pillaged and they are still robbing and pillaging those countries.

some of br:itish owned companies in Nigeria:
shell
british nigerian tobacco
U.A.C
U.B.A
unilever
cadbury
P&G
PZ cussons
PWC

e.t.c.....

these companies takes profits from Nigeria and other countries they operate in and take the profits back to their country..
for a country to grow it or some of its private citizens needs to own the biggest companies in that country and not foreigners...

one of the reasons why most countries in Africa aren't growing is because most of the biggest companies are owned by foreigners most of whom are backed by their government.

It is highly irresponsible to absolve urself of any responsibility and blame others.

Do u think Europe, America didn’t face challenges coming up? Do u think it was all rosey? Do u know how many empires have come up and gone down in the road to civilization? And Ure here whinning the white man colonized u so that’s why u are corrupt and can’t do right for urselves? It’s lame excuses.

Ur analogy doesn’t cut it because every nation has faced different challenges, difficulties and more coming up. So what shud the Jews who were killed in the holocaust say?

Did Africa fight in the 2 world wars??

Stop all this self pity mentality. Nobody amputated anything. U can walk and work perfectly. Only that Ur mindset has betrayed u.

About 65 of them speaks Yoruba..

But how’s this gonna be possible? France still controls Benin till date. I heard France is still behind how they check and balance everything in Benin...

Benin election is coming soon. I smell another political scam, just to make the yorubas in Benin to vote for him, cuz the man is kinda heartless and they don’t like him..

You're wise, Sir.

It's all gimmick. France still controls that country strongly. Even gives them sponsorship to France for study, just that they don't like travelling out. The American Embassy and other embassies there are so empty, you'll be wondering if they receive visitors at all.

The guy just wants to catch cruise and this minister will be drunk to actually believe that

The Benin request should be a worry to South East igbos. Soon Nigeria will be ready to discard the resourcesless and parasitic South East to Nnamdi Kanu to form his Lesotho-like land locked country. Thereafter, the plan is that Benin will take it place. Works have commenced since in drawing Memorandum of understanding secretly between Nigeria and Benin. The issue started even before Obasonjo government and around 2003, the Benin Republic attempted to recandle the request but the Bakase saga scared obj not to make any serious commitment. He only impressed on them to keep pushing. It is unfortunate that the foreign minister has came to the public with it now because he is igbo just to forewarn his fellow igbos senselessly thinking that Nigeria will at all course want to keep them within it sovereignty.
I only pity those poor igbos doing business in the other parts of Nigeria who after this plan materialized will have to become foreigners in Nigeria territory.
