Africa made history today! We can travel in 27 countries now on the continent with no visa needed. 44 we would work and trade and exchange with no restriction! The legacy of Sankara, Lumumba, Nkrumah and others were being honored and put in action! Unfortunately, there was no representation of Nigeria in this process. Sad!

don't deceive people, free movement of people is not part of the deal. it's just trade restrictions that have been removed not free movement of people.

shitholes

1. The deal does not come into effect until 180 days

2. Nigeria did not say she wont sign, she said she needs time to consider it

3. That 44 countries signed does not mean they will stay. Each signature still depends in ratification by the paliarment of each country. The South African palairment will not ratify an agreement that will allow immigrants into their land.

vengertime:
don't deceive people, free movement of people is not part of the deal. it's just trade restrictions that have been removed not free movement of people.

Can you differentiate between free trades and movement
