France is actually funding Boko Haram as a way to breakup Nigeria. And the "foreign" Fulani herdmen that enter through our borders with sophisticated weapons to kill farmers in the middlebelt and south, ask yourself who is arming them. France is behind all these. France need Africa to survive and would go to any length to retain control and breakup opposition from Nigeria.


You can still blame France for Buhari failing to arrest them, blame France giving amnesty to bandits that killed thousands of Nigerians, blame France for the idea of RUGA etc

C"mon! Which Biafra? Who did France support during the Biafra war? Was it not Biafra. There were french mercenaries on ground to train Biafra soldiers. And you think they did that for free. You all lack power of foresight. Well, get your Biafra and be the 15th French colony in west Africa.


Both Nigeria, France and United Kingdom are all evil and useless countries, most West African groups are more wicked than France and UK combined,

We hate ourselves more than the Europeans hate us, you people make it looks like the Europeans don't want us to progress when we're the one holding ourselves down to serve the European interest.

We do injustice to ourselves then turn around and wonder why the Europeans are doing injustice to us.
We are more greedy than the Europeans.

Nigeria and other African countries were built to serve the European interest and you uphold it then turn around to complain.

THE FULANI/CALIPHATE ARE WORST THAN THE EUROPEANS,

Our main problem is perpetual stooge we have subjected ourselves to in the hands of the so-called Great Britain, the world's renown parasite. Since the beginning of the insurgency, France has played major roles in curbing their activities with less efforts from the british people. Some of french doctors ( Doctors without Borders) were abducted and even killed by boko haram. The last time I checked, a British court slammed a huge sum which could deplete our foreign reserves overnight as penalty or damages in the case of P and ID. France would never have allowed this injustice to be done to any of their colonies

I think our leaders, both past and present are selfish. Immediately after independence, we have failed to adopt french as a second official language, sticking only to english. In Europe, hardly would you find a country who doesn't speak English, including france though they have always preferred speaking their language. I was in Germany some years back and there I met a guy at the airport. I asked him for a direction to where I was going as a taxi guy but he pretended as if he didn't understand English. Later he came to meet me and began speaking fluently...and that's the way an average german behaves. They may not like speaking english but the majority of them understand and speak well.

Being bi-lingual as a nation brings about even and speedy development. If you speak my languages, I'd deal with you in all eagerness and fairness...its normal but the reverse is the case with British. They are haters and unwilling to help especially in an area where they feel they can't see anything to eat. Our politicians loaded their banks with looted money from and they're busy doing business with it. Whenever our country makes any move to bring the money back home, they come up with stiff conditions which would end our country parting away almost half of the money.

I hope the French language learned in most private schools is sustained. We need to break this jinx of one language which is english. Hardly would you visit a francophone country and see learned people who do not understand English and that's where they have an edge overseas over us...in football clubs, in schools, fashion or show biz and wherever they find themselves...they always thrive and adapt easily.
Whereas, their anglophone counterparts would have to enrol in a french school to pick up. Amazingly, french and Spanish are very similar so anybody from a fanconphone country can easily understand Spanish when spoken. It brings about ease of doing business internationally without barriers.

The ECO issue wouldn't have been there in the first place, had our government adopted French a subject from day one in our public schools as a second official language for the sake of economic integration of our region . This is why I've always faulted the amalgamation of 1914, which we are not finding difficult to repeal even years after it's expiry. All the franco phone countries in west Africa put together, ate not up to the Nigerian population but are far better in development than we are as a nation. They are well-organised with less issues of insecurity and corruption. The amalgamation was put there by the British to keep enslaving us. I hope this is repealed someday.

These white people colonized us with a weapons, yet our people loot our common wealth and happily hide it in their banks.
We Africans are like Chickens to their poultry farmers, they feed & keep us as a source of food to their economy, either Christian or Muslim, it doesn't matter. What matters is just their permanent interest.



Africans sold themselves to slavery, the Europeans even helped to end the slave trade, the British faught wars to end slavery, the US did the same.
Africans are slaves for life.

You said Ghanaians usually say we are only plenty in Nigeria and plenty for nothing and you went on to say they are right I hope I read you well. Then you and the Ghanaians will explain why the economy of Lagos a lone is bigger than the whole economy of Ghana according to IMF. You may also tell us whether Ghana has performed better than Nigeria on the global stage in terms of contribution to global education, global peace keeping, sport, medicine. The last time I heard that Nigeria has about 20,000 medical Doctors practicing in America alone probably Ghanaians number may be more than that as you and them may allege. When the world say Nigeria is the giant of Africa is not based on land mass or population is far more than that.



Keep deceiving yourselves and calling yourselves Giant of Africa,

Nigeria can not adopt ECO as long as France mints and controls the Treasury.

If the Federal Government is Smart, they will allow us to collaborate with China and mint prototypical exacts of the ECO Currency and get into these Francophone slave colonies and exchange them with Euro and bring back Euro to build our country. We need to flood their system with excessive ECO until they get hyper-inflation and increase taxes to mop up excess liquidity while we enjoy.

I believe integrating is not the key for now.
I honestly believe integration is key, just as integration was key to the economic success of Europe. Europe's problem is attempting to change economic integration into political integration.



First, we should fight corruption. Second, become a force to reckon with, economically and politically. Third, be self sufficient, self reliant and a powerhouse.
Yes we must fight or at least reduce corruption, but we must recognise that it is a difficult task. This is because of inherent landmines laid by the colonialists at independence. The elections and census issues we are grappling with today were foundation laid by the colonialists. They rig politicians who promote their interests and sabotage their country’s interest into power, and kill any renegade politician that attempt to go against their interest. They are responsible for perpetuating sit tight leaders for decades.

Under these conditions becoming a force to reckon with, economically and politically is very difficult

How can we be self sufficient, self reliant and a powerhouse, when the countries themselves were set up to depend on the colonialists. The countries were set up to provide raw materials for European industries, and provide a ready market for their finished goods. This is how the economies of colonial west and central Africa was set up.



Unlike when we tried to help South Africa and Ghana, they came back throwing it to our face. Those french Africans would also do the same in the short or long run.
South African and to some extent Ghana are not our brothers, they are separate people of separate tribes and language. Benin republic, Chad, Niger and Cameroon share the same people. It is difficult separating the eguns and Tapa of Benin Republic from their Yoruba brothers. Same with Fulanis in Nigeria from their Daura brothers. Ditto for Bakassi and adama adamawa. People are still accusing Atiku of being Cameroonian instead of Nigerian. The colonialists used language, currency and force to separate these people.



If we become a force to reckon with, like China and Brazil that cannot be left out of any political and economic decision, then we can look further into integration those junkyards like Benin, Niger and Cameroon, because at that point, we can prove to them that black people can also become something without France or any western poo. Just as the Chinese, Indonesians and Brazilians have proved themselves.

If all those can be achieved, we can call anybody's bluff.
The fact is that all these countries are already a heavy burden on the Nigeria economy. We already subsidise their fuel, we provide them power, these countries in fact depends heavily on the Nigeria economy to survive. The worse is they all pose huge security risk, as Nigeria has been attacked through these country's borders one time or the other.
So it makes sense to strategically integrate them.

You people and your Don Quixotic dreams. how is Biafra the hope of the entire black race, when it's so tiny in terms of landmass and even population? Even if we accept all the unrealistic lands added by the igbos, it's still in significantly tiny, when compared to other black nations.

How can Biafra be the hope of the entire black race, when the igbos - the main promoters of Biafra have poor relations or no relations at all with other black or even non black nations. How many blacks nations would support the igbos in anything?

Biafra, a nation that was only sustained for less than 3 years would the hope of black man, when other ancient nations like Ethiopia is there that had never been colonised or conquered by foreign powers.


�� Israel is a tiny nation in land mass and population , yet it influences the whole world in finances, Medicine, Agriculture, etc

�� You claim igbos don't have relationships with others, have you travelled outside Nigeria to see the way Igbos relate to others? We actually have more arab connections with even arab countries than buhari and his other Muslim counterparts.

�� What influence does Ethiopia have since they were not colonised. I don't want to go into unnecessary arguments with you but there are things we have come across that other tribes don't about. We have stumbled upon many documents that shows what the British and French government are doing in Africa. Go and find out why they fought against Biafra. Its deeper than you know. You don't have to buy into the Biafran dream but those of us who have will surely get our nation. No be here i go leak all the plan and secret. But Biafra Go Happen

Yet, most of you yell "conspiracy theory" when told that white people are not done enslaving Africa.

Shouldn't the national will of the Francophone African countries be how to liberate themselves from the grip of France on their CFA? How is it that people who said they're educated can easily switch from one slave system to another?

This's why I've lost respect for anybody on the African continent because I see nobody to respect. There's nobody living and thinking on the African continent at this time.

Can't the ECO be pegged on gold price or the Chinese Yen or even the South African Rand? Why always Europe, the same people known to enslave and exploit us? Europeans would never want development in Africa. The only thing they can do and they've always done is exploit, exploit exploit. This's why they killed Muamah Gadahdfi once he began talking seriously about a continental African currency pegged on gold. It would have definitely given us some financial freedom, so they killed him.

When will people wake up on this continent?

We will continue to be enslaved until we do one thing. If we ever want to be completely free from white people, we must go back to our native language, use it to acquire knowledge, and believe in our God. This's the only way to DISCONNECT ourselves from white people and stop creating perpetual slaves out of ourselves.

Isn't this enough reason for we Africans to come to our senses?
We should learn from the Chinese and find a way to free ourselves from imperialists stronghold.
Who ever knew how the Chinese would be as strong as they're now.

But how come a foreign institution is involved in what is called ECO West African currency? The problem with African leaders is that they think Africans don't have the capacity to stand alone without these European imperialists. If there is a time that Africans need to start kicking some butts of their colonial masters, now is it. We don't need these people as we used to before, all the technology we use today is coming from China. Not that we create a permanent divide between us, we can relate as two independent friends while keeping our sovereignty intact. In 21st century, Africa should be able to do what is best for Africans without foreign interference.

I don't total disagree with you, but at what cost do you intend to integrate those people, when Nigeria is currently not sustainable with lots of internal cracks.

The deed has been done by the colonialists as you mentioned, but do you know what it would cost to break down those borders now.

Look at USA for example, do you think they cannot integrate Mexico or is there no NAFTA even in North America, but look at how USA treats Canada and look at how it treats Mexico. Even Trump would prefer to total cut Mexico off. Are they not supposed to be brothers and helping each other!! But the cost of helping is a big burden to USA and you are saying Nigeria should follow this path at this point in time.

If look are looking at integration, I think you have to look inwards first. My first question to you is how far have we gone in integrating our Igbo brothers?
After that, do you remember the Southern Cameroon integration with Nigeria, what was the end of that?

If we can first grow ourselves and if there is a fair agreement within the current tribes, not exploiting one region to feed the other, I mean, grow to a level where we can afford to try and integrate those countries.
Unlike when we spent much of our resources to help South Africa out of its problems but we never really recover from that point up till today.

But wait why was your giant Ghana wailing and screaming everyday when Nigeria closed its land borders? Or have you forgotten how ministers from Ghana have been flying to Abuja to beg Nigeria to open its borders?. The one that is better cannot be crying everyday when the lesser closed its borders. As I said earlier boy you need to go back to school or read good economic data. If you cannot understand why Ghana has been crying over the closure of land borders by Nigeria it means you need to go back to school.

Before I forgot know that there is different between fasted growing and has grown. A kid will normally grow faster than an adult but it does not mean that kid has grown like the adult.

You are very correct here, even the presidential villa in Ivory coast was built by France and the Ivorian government pays rent to france for its use.

Be careful what you wish for.

The France you are hyping here is the same reason why most francophone (west) African countries are still pretty much indebted to France even so many years after they have gained their "independence" from France.

[s]Our main problem is perpetual stooge we have subjected ourselves to in the hands of the so-called Great Britain, the world's renown parasite. Since the beginning of the insurgency, France has played major roles in curbing their activities with less efforts from the british people. Some of french doctors ( Doctors without Borders) were abducted and even killed by boko haram. The last time I checked, a British court slammed a huge sum which could deplete our foreign reserves overnight as penalty or damages in the case of P and ID. France would never have allowed this injustice to be done to any of their colonies

I think our leaders, both past and present are selfish. Immediately after independence, we have failed to adopt french as a second official language, sticking only to english. In Europe, hardly would you find a country who doesn't speak English, including france though they have always preferred speaking their language. I was in Germany some years back and there I met a guy at the airport. I asked him for a direction to where I was going as a taxi guy but he pretended as if he didn't understand English. Later he came to meet me and began speaking fluently...and that's the way an average german behaves. They mould not like speaking english but the majority of them understand and speak well.

Being bi-lingual as a nation brings about even and speedy development. If you speak my language, I'd deal with you in all eagerness and fairness...its normal but the reverse is the case with British. They are haters and unwilling to help especially in an area where they feel they can't see anything to eat from. Our politicians loaded their banks with looted money from Nigeria and they're busy doing business with it, which was why OBJ called Cameron the then british PM thief and he looked at baba in the face but couldn't say anything after obj gave reasons for calling him that. Whenever our country makes any move to bring the money back home, they come up with stiff conditions which would cause our country parting away almost half of the money.

I hope the French language learned in most private schools is sustained. We need to break this jinx of one language which is english. Hardly would you visit a francophone country and see learned people who do not understand English and that's where they have an edge overseas over us...in football clubs, in schools, fashion or show biz and wherever they find themselves...they always thrive and adapt easily.
Whereas, their anglophone counterparts would have to enrol in a french school to pick up. Amazingly, french and Spanish are very similar so anybody from a fanconphone country can easily understand Spanish when spoken. It brings about ease of doing business internationally without barriers.

The ECO issue wouldn't have been there in the first place, had our government adopted French language from day one in our public schools as a second official language for the sake of economic integration of our region . This is why I've always faulted the amalgamation of 1914, which we are now finding difficult to repeal even years after it's expiry. All the franco phone countries in west Africa put together, are not up to the Nigerian population but are far better in development than we are as a nation. They are well-organised with less issues of insecurity and corruption. The amalgamation was put there by the British to keep enslaving us. I hope this is repealed someday.

Rubbish!

Nigeria doesn't need to be re-colonized again by France by having French as its second official Language.

The day Africa will be free of European economic and financial manipulations,it will be the day suffering will start in Europe.
EU won't like to see Africa get developed until we Africans,all of us fight for it.

I really don't know how but we must first start to be depending on them for anything.

Let's solve our problems by ourselves.

Bro help bro.

Very Correct.

Nigeria did not fight for Independence from the British. Nigeria requested in a sober and humility approach to gain Independence from the Great Britain.

It was easy for the Britain to grant Nigeria its Independence because Britain was going through so much war within its own territory from Germany and Italy.

Britain's stronghold over most African Countries they Colonized was getting very weak and so it was easy for Nigeria request for Independence to be granted easily without a fight.

The only way any African Country can develop and be released from the continued stronghold of its former Colonized Countries is when Africa comes together in Unity to fight against the Europeans.

Now the question is can that ever happen?

I really, really doubt it. embarassed

Here is a group of mostly women led by princess Ajibola leading a protest to the French embassy in Abuja, accusing the French of sponsoring Boko Haram, and attempting to colonize Nigeria.

I am very proud of our women, they seem more aware of real threats from Europeans than we men, who are more interested in fighting for power and control of resources.
