Slavery: We Are Not Yet Free As Long As Africa Remains The Biggest Beggar Region – Aregbesola

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the state of Osun has stated that according to a report by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Africa led the global begging troupe with a total aid outflow to Africa in 2013 at $46 billion, only followed by Asia in a distant second with $25 billion.

The governor stated while delivering keynote at the 2016 emancipation celebration of the pan African historical, arts and culture festival (PANAFEST), which held at Cape Coast, Ghana, on Friday July 29, 2016.

The governor who took participants at the event on the historical role the west played in under-developing and subjugating Africa said Africans are not yet totally free as long as she remains the poorest and the biggest beggar region of the world.

On aide being delivered to the continent, Aregbesola stated that ehe figure for Asia topped $25 billon only because Afghanistan alone got a disproportionate amount of $11 billion that year. In Africa, one out of every two persons is poor.

“In a 2015 World Bank estimate of GDP per capita, the average for sub-Saharan Africa is $1,571.3 compared to Middle East and North Africa’s $7,342.3, or EU’s $31,843.2, North America’s monstrous $54,580 and even the world’s average of $9995.6. Even then, this average is this high because a few rich countries like Seychelles has per capita income in excess of $25,000 whereas there are poorer countries whose income is less than $400.”

The Ogbeni further stated that. “We are not free as long as the continent remains the hotbed of proxy wars between superpowers and now the theatre of religious and ethnic conflicts instigated by the elites and their foreign allies. Freedom and true emancipation must consist in the development of the continent’s human and material resources for the benefit of its 1.2 billion people.”

Coming from apc chietain

Nobody could have said it better.

You and your people are still slaves to the North.

speak for yourself mr man

Coming from Aregbe
Mr man paid up all your workers salary First and increase their Salaries

Yorubbers make me laugh every day. Lool

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery in Bob Marley's voice

OF Course ...SLAVE Of the Hausa, that's what you ppl are

Yorubas will always remain slave of the hausa/fulani, just like Wale will always remain slave of England , but Scotland will keep on fighting for freedom just like Igbos

How you people can change a recognised fact about Africa into yoruba being slaves to hausa is beyond me... Is ethnicity and bigotry the air you all breathe... God be with you all o

Coming from someone that has chosen to enslave everyone around him. We're not yet free indeed!
