African Leaders Should Stop Being Summoned By One Single Country by God1000(m): 12:43pm On May 04, 2022 |
I'm writing this after seeing Indian prime minister Narendra Modi in Finland, Finland is a very small country with a population of 5,5 million people, and yet he went there in person. But Modi will rather summon the entire continent leaders for the so-called India-africa summit. France, Russia, US, China, UK and turkey have all at one time or the other summoned African leaders for talks as well, I mean this is degrading and it shows how little these people view us.

How is it degrading? The whiteman made African countries and Africans are proud of the whiteman's creation. So why won't Africans be the controlled by the whiteman. What you should start with is that Africans should reject the Berlin Conference by going back to the drawing board for self determination. As an Igbo man, I have no business being in the same country with a Yoruba man. With an Ibibio or an Efik perhaps makes more sense than a Yoruba who I have no cultural affinity with, talk less of a Fulani whose intention is to kill my people. If you're happy being a Nigerian. If you're proud of being made by Europeans, you should be proud for all countries the whiteman created at the Berlin Conference to be manipulated, summoned and collectively controlled by the whiteman. Until you have the sense to reject the destiny imposed on you as an African, be ready to continue with the status quo. 1 Like |

ScamHunter:but Africa isn't the only continent that was colonized by the whites, and Nigeria isn't the only multi- ethnic and religious country in the world. How come we continue to ascribe Nigeria's underdevelopment to the amalgamation. Is it truly the problem of forceful union or lack of good leaders, because we have corrupt leaders, criminals, ritualists, kidnappers etc in all the tribes in Nigeria, no exception. What makes you think that Igbo will be better off as a country, what about the vices, crime and criminality we continue to witness everyday in southeast, will that stop too? 1 Like |

God1000: To understand the future, know about the fact. Even honest British explorers told the British crown that it would be a bad Idea to colonize the Igbo and the Ekun. Perhaps you do not know that Yoruba was originally called Ekun before they embraced the slave name of Yoruba. African tribes were mostly prosperous before the whiteman came and depleted the work force though trans-atlantic slavery. To understand that Nigeria's problem cannot be separated from the so-called diversity, look at the accomplishments of the regional governments. That should tell you that multi-ethnicity is NEVER a merit to a country but demerit. The amalgamation was like mixing oil and water. Lugard knew that the regions will not survive it but did it for administrative convenience to feed the whiteman's greed. The same is happening today. The north and the west brought practically nothing of economic value to the country so they want the status quo to continue as the country milks the SE and SS. How isn't it a demerit? 1 Like |

Re: African Leaders Should Stop Being Summoned By One Single Country by WoundedLamb: 1:59pm On May 04, 2022 |
They can only refuse to answer but they won't and there are a couple of reasons for this. First is the obvious reason. If the summoner is offering some kind of help and not just a business proposal meant to benefit both parties, then it makes sense for the summoner to call them together and save resources and in this case, the African leaders wouldn't be in any position to protest that. But we know they also get summoned even for mutually beneficial business proposals. When it comes to business, it is not really about the size of the country or the amount of respect the summoner has for the continent. It's more about the economic worth of the entire exercise. If the summoner wants to engage in some business worth billions of dollars, calling on the US or Germany alone might be sufficient. However, to get that amount from Africa, a few Africa countries must come to together as an entity. For such a summoner, it makes business sense to call them together. Can Togo alone bring to the table what the UK would bring? Imagine you have a company called Taco Inc. with 200 branches in your home country, Nigeria, and you recently opened 2 more in Ghana (one in the North and one in the South). In your organizational structure, you want to arrange your financial reports by region to maximize resources and simplify business intelligence. Which of the following options would you adopt? A) @NigeriaNorth, @NigeriaSouth @NigeriaWest, @NigeriaEast, @GhanaNorth and @GhanaSouth B) @NigeriaNorth, @NigeriaSouth @NigeriaWest, @NigeriaEast, @Ghana That's exactly how it works at the international level as well. Microsoft used to have Microsoft South Africa, Microsoft Egypt, Microsoft Microsoft WECA (West, East and Central Africa), etc. And this was how they used to summon the regional managers for updates. About 5 years ago, they recognized Microsoft Nigeria because thier investments in the country became big enough to dedicate resources to them and treat them as an entity. They might be some bias of course, but that's surely not the driving factor. It's more about business and when you get rid of emotions, you'd agree that Congo alone might not worth the engagement. Sad but true. |

God1000: I'm always amused when black people like you fail to understand how the world works. Do you think the colonialists rate you or your ancestors based on the same scale they used for fair skinned races? Why did the British not do what they did for Indian sub-continent for Nigeria but rather did the opposite even though the same conditions subsisted? The answer should be obvious if you're using your initiative. Why was it easy for Truman to make the decision to drop an atomic bomb on Japan but not Germany, the reason should also be obvious though you Africans are challenged when simple things like these are before you. Your second question reeks of the traditional Nigerian hypocrisy that has kept the country moving in circles. Why SE? Since you hate the Igbos so much, why are you comfortable being in the same country with the people you hate? That accentuates my assertion that Africa's problem is putting together strange bed fellows. All Hutus, were they all in Burundi would have prevented ethnic strife that killed millions. All Tutsi's were they all in Uganda would have had more progress. As long as Africans refuse to use their initiatives but are satisfied with being teleguided, the continent and its race will CONTINUE to be at the base of the humanity ladder. 1 Like |

In new world order ,They are now Global powerhouse and everyone is courting them so what wrong in it? There were 23 head of states/ FM/ Chief advisors in New Delhi within just one month, red below Japanese Prime Minister Russian Federation FM Sri Lankan FM British FM Elizabeth Truss Chief Advisor to German Chancellor Nepal Prime Minister Mauritius Prime Minister US Secretary British Prime Minister These are few i remember from the news i have been following so far, Since their PM can visit Finland alone you are insisting our leaders must visit alone? And then their PM will give our leaders enough time? Even British FM was unable to meet their PM MODI as he didn't had time. Indian government refused help a high level British parliamentarian delegation to get an appointment to Modi. (You can check these news on internet and if not ask me and i will share multiple links) So tell me why you have so negative or low self esteem when African Leaders are visiting over there? Last time i remember when My leader went there, we got State of the Art Hospital, more then 170 million USD grant and few industrial investment. Example: Ghana got a CDAC Super Computer and IT laboratory from India and only nation in Most of the Africa to have a Supercomputer and a Technical team training their scientists on advanced Super computing, and how did it happened because Ghanaian President went there with open heart and free mind and they gave him proper reception and named that Super Computer after KOFI ANNAN INDIA CDAC Moral, No need to show false ego as we are nothing but a dark hole of this planet, accept and move.
