Top 5 Ways To Develop Africa by Udmaster(m): 9:48am On Apr 11, 2015
I am a strong believer that we Africans have what it takes to develop our wonderful continent and match up to the western world.
Here are 5 ways I think A.U should adopt inorder to develop Africa.

1} ONE CURRENCY- Africa 54 countries should come together and have One currency which will be spearheaded by a Central Bank Of Africa. This Continent have the costly and highly wanted natural resources to add monetary value to this Currency. It will be the most valued in the world and poor African Countries will benefit greatly from this decision.

2} A BIG JOINT AFRICAN ARMY- African should have one big gigantic Army which will be well equipt and fortified. This kind of Army will crush Boko Haram and all terrorist groups in Africa.

3} INTRA- AFRICAN TRADE- Lets put an end to this "made in china" mentality. Let African 54 countries trade within themselves and help each other economy. For example, let start seeing "made in Botswana" products in Nigeria, or "made in Gabon" products in Zambia.

4} AN ANTI- CORRUPTION COURT IN AFRICA- Any Corrupt African President should be arrested by the Big Joint African Army and prosecuted in this African Anti-Corruption Court.

5} ONE AFRICAN INFRASTRUCTURE MASTERPLAN- African cities should be renovated, rehabilitated and built with one style of Infrastructure masterplan.. Europe did it after world war 2 and beautify their cities.. Africa should adopt it.

6} ACTUALLY TAKE BACK OUR MINERAL RESOURSES- Our minerals are owned exploited (together with local populations who are the real owners.) from the colonial times till now.
Raw materials from Africa go to create jobs (after their colonial exploiters transfer most of the profits back into their own economies) for industries in Europe and the US.

GOD BLESS AFRICA.

If 40% of our youth can think like this, then it will be very easy to develop our various countries without the help of the western world.

All those are Ok but I think this is more important:
6. ACTUALLY TAKE BACK OUR MINERAL RESOURSES
Our minerals are owned exploited (together with local populations who are the real owners.) from the colonial times till now.
Raw materials from Africa go to create jobs (after their colonial exploiters transfer most of the profits back into their own economies) for industries in Europe and the US.

I loved the way his mind worked. Do you know he actively participated in the revival of traditional African Kingdoms and Councils of Elders in many parts of Africa. I think that's why the West saw him as a threat.

Good list and I agree to a extent but number 1, I don't think so cause some african countries doing better in their currency wouldn't want a one currency with a country that isn't up there in par with them cause it will bring down their own currency. Why do you think England didn't agree to join the Euro

I don't think so because every country in Africa will benefit due to the monetary value behind the currency.

We need to concentrate on West Africa, African continent is too big for this project of unified currency and military

Another thing, we need to reconstruct our boarders, this colonial countries must be dismantled and we rebuild new nations, true nations built on ethnic homogeneity

Great piece! However, I feel we should lay more emphasis on national and regional integration before we proceed to the continent.

i feel that one currency for the whole of africa wldnt work, but one currency for west-africa is where it starts..
the whole west african army mash-up against bokoharam is a good thing too. if egos can be left behind, and it gets really funded, it'll be a glorious thing to behold.

True countries struggling will gain but others not struggling will just be in a stable state. I don't see big african economies agreeing to one currency when they still have problems in their countries. It's not that simple, I don't see countries like South Africans or nigeria agreeing to that

I agree, a unified currency in west Africa will be tough but a military Definately yes.

One tribal nations will be good but I don't see that happening

Of all your point, there is one I find funny.
You want a Africa to develp yet you want the single currency be superheaded by a central bank?
Isn't that fetching water into a basket?
The CBNs are owned by a family in Europe.
Until we create our own form of banking, our different eceonomic strategy, we can't move forward.
We are still gonna be cheated by the oppressors.

Even West Africa is too large. Not needed. The Yorubas in West Africa and associated people in Togo, Benin republic and eastern Ghana will be over 100 million in population all having attachment to the Ife culture and having sites of ancient Ifes on their lands. To merge them together under one sovereign nation is the right thing since they already see themselves as one.

Go and make the research. I have never been there but there is Yoruba land in Eastern Ghana. I think around fifty towns in all and there is Ife in Ghana that is not even on Ghanaian Yoruba but owned by people who believe they are the same thing as Yoruba. Amadzofe. qualifies as the site of an ancient Ife.
Re: Top 5 Ways To Develop Africa by PetroDolla2020: 2:51pm On Jul 30, 2022
Can you imagine! You have never been to Ghana and yet you talk as if you know everything?

Well, there is nothing like yourabaland in Ghana, Yes, there are Yorubas from Nigeria who have lived for about 100 years in Ghana, but they are Nigerians who came to hustle in Ghana. I believe there are Ghanaians who have lived in Nigeria for many years. Are these Ghanaians Nigerians because they have lived in your country for many years?

You mentioned Amedzofe. To the best of my knowledge Amedzife is in the Volta region. Yes it is in the Eastern part of Ghana. But the people of Amedzofe are Ewes and have nothing to do with Yoruba. I don’t know where you got your history from. But you need to review your source or information.

You are not talking sense because if I need to travel to know everything I know then I won't know one tenth of what I know until I die. The Ewe are Ife people according to their culture but they are not Yoruba speakers. They have their own land in Ghana but there are also ethnic Yorubas on their own land in Eastern Ghana of up to fifty towns which is an equivalent of a sovereign country.
Re: Top 5 Ways To Develop Africa by PetroDolla2020: 10:34pm On Jul 30, 2022
Watch your mouth nigga! Who is not talking sense? You have never been to Ghana. You don’t live there. Yet you know more than me, who is Ghanaian and lives in Ghana?

And you even have the guts to tell me, PetroDolla, I’m not making sense? grin Now, if I tell you that I know more about Nigeria than you, a Nigerian what will your reaction be? Think we’ll before you talk,huh? Fuckeduppedness cool

And where did you learn the nonsense that Ewes are Ife people? Tell me one thing Ewes and Ifes have in common? Name just one.

The Ewe do not speak Yoruba but acknowledge themselves as Ife people and it is what you believe yourself to be that you are. Language can change rapidly and there are many possible reasons for such.
