The top four economies in sub-Saharan Africa are English-speaking - South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Should Namibians manage their newfound oil wealth, they will become more prosperous than Ivory Coast. Already, even Botswana and Namibia are properly run/managed than Gabon or Ivory Coast.

The French wrecked Haiti and elsewhere. The black man has suffered more at the hands of the French than the English man. Heck, even in Europe, black people regardless of their origin have more opportunities in the UK than ANY French-speaking region.



Yes. The language is the best gift. Singaporeans and Hong Kongers can attest to this. This is a language young Chinese learn from childhood to adulthood. It is the most spoken language in trade shows across the world. Europeans learn it so they can use it outside Europe. Japanese are stunned when I tell them my level is native-level as the British colonised Nigeria during the 1960s. The Brits have their faults, but you see
that language? It is gold.

It is better to learn Spanish as one can use it in a part of the world that is actually prosperous than sub-Saharan Africa which has more French speakers. To show how the French don't favour the black man, it would have made sense to ensure the region where most speakers of your language become wealthy as that would further promote the language's prominence. But the French are not interested in that.

Point of correction.
The Egyptian economy is bigger than those of Kenya and Ghana.
The Algerian economy is bigger than that of Ghana if not bigger than Kenya.

Sorry. I just discovered you said sub Saharan.

The African Continent Leaders would not isten to Alh.Dangote now because they are majorly appendages of their Colonial Masters:
-Develop your Regional African Market.
-Develop African Free Trade Market.
- All African Leaders should meet and work out the African Free Passport - issues to most of our Top Business Executives,not to their associates, unless,the Particular Leader consented!
Good one from Dangote!

Please re-read my comment. I stated it clearly: sub-Saharan Africa.

I don't merge black Africa with Arabs in everything.

lol, an average Nigerian poor man don’t care or understand what you are saying. If left for them Yoruba man should get a visa to go to sokoto and Igbo man should get a visa to come to Lagos.

Dull people plenty for that country.

Why don't you set up your own refinery plant and show us what you can do differently for the people of Nigeria?

Don't mind them, they hate their country, they hate other tribes, they envy anybody who is doing well than them, and they even hate themselves intra- tribal wise. And f00lishly they are expecting the other hated tribes to vote for their kinsman, how possible?

We do not want sit tight presidents .
Infact single term of seven years should be made compulsory in Africa

How does your comments relates to the subject of discussion. I was even pondering that if such occurred to Dangote who else is exempted. This have to do with obsolete immigration laws which no-one is ready to tampered with. What concerned the President In this, since no bill had been passed and sent to the President for assent
PLEASE STOP ABUSING PEOPLE AND CONCENTRATE ON SELF DEVELOPMENT GOALS

UK as a colonial master treats NIGERIA with utmost disdain. Maybe that is the reason TINUBU aligns more with France, who incidentally are now trying to recapture lost African territory.

Get my submission. France doesn't mean well and UK is just extremely worthless..

My submission is that you have to choose one - it's hard to take your position seriously because it's running with two contradictory ideals. What some of you don't know is that after independence, Nigeria signed a military alliance with the UK. But UI students strongly opposed it and the Balewa government had to back down. The UK prefers to hands of its colonies–one of the reasons is that they're embarrassed about their imperial past. It's why you'll hardly see them sell arms to African countries.

France, on the other hand, has never had any inhibitions about being involved and interfering in its colonies. This ought to have both advantages and disadvantages but it has not really worked out well for the people of those countries since France cares far more about regime stability than development.

No, the UK is not worthless. If we get our act together, we could trade with them on equal terms.

I don't know about terrorism but we can certainly solve hunger problem ..Uganda and Kenya boast of beautiful lands but if you see Ethiopian lands you will just melt in alore of such beauty ...

Ypu can never trade with colonialist on equal terms.

France is no different. If they were, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso would not have chased them out like thieves

Atleast all francophone countries enjoy some semblance of a working relationship with France. UK is just there for the economic extortion.

Keyword being "semblance". Here in Nigeria, Britain doesn't force us to have Naira minted by them or the Bank of the Exchequer as our Central Bank. Loads of neo-colonial slavery by both France and England. NONE is better than the other

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person, says he still faces difficulties travelling in Africa with his Nigerian passport.

Dangote spoke recently at the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.

“I still complained to President Kagame. I told him that as an investor, I have to now apply for 35 different visas on my passport, and I told Mr. President, I really don’t have the time to go and be dropping my passports in embassies to get a visa,” he said.

“But you see, the most annoying thing is that yes, if you are treating everybody the same, then I can understand.”

Using the French passport as an example, Dangote said Patrick Pouyanne, chairman of Total Energies, does not need 35 visas on his French passport to gain access to African countries.

“You don’t need 35 visas on your French passport. This means you have a freer movement than myself in Africa,” he said.

Speaking further on businesses within Africa, he said right now, “our main job is to make sure the regional markets all work. Once they work, then we can now go to Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). But then, for AfCFTA also, we need to make sure that it works”.

“We cannot have a very promising continent and our intra-trade rate is less than 16 percent. Okay, so we Africans will have to do it. If we are waiting for foreigners to come and do it, both the development of Africa, it’s not going to happen,” he said.

“So it can only happen to us Africans. We must risk our sources and make sure that we lead, then we will have people who actually trust and believe in Africa like Patrick to come and help us to push to the next level.”

Also, at the event, the business mogul announced that Nigeria will not have to import petrol into the country by June when Dangote refinery commences production of the product.

The golden visa is the key bruv.

Black people enforcing the arbitrary restrictions white people put on them. Sha, it’s not like we were at peace before Caucasians colonized us. We warred among ourselves.

It’s good we make Africa border-less. We would have all developed beyond where we are now and have stronger currencies.

That's how you dangote you sell your cement cheap to other Africa and sell to Nigeria in a very high price. You have not been Fair to Nigeria too. What is go around come around

"....EXPOSED FRANCE".
How?

Was france responsible for african countries not making movement easier for africans within africa?

Is it France's duty to come down and talk sense to african leaders that they need to enable free and easy movement within africa in order to enable and enhance free trade and investment between africans?

Was there anytime france stopped the 54 countries in africa from developement a frame work to achieve that?

Dangote gave an example with the french citizen to paint a picture of how ridiculous it is that Africa is neglecting africans and wholesomely welcoming westerners. The message was directed to Paul kagame, the Rwandan president-an African leader.

Africa is the continent with the worst political leaders in the world. Instead of these politicians sitting back and fixing the continent, they will rather gallivant round the world begging for aids they will later loot and squander on luxury items.

Then their are citizens like you, who will never hold these leaders accountable but will rather blame the west for the misfortunes brought upon the continent by these same leaders you guys idolise.

Keep blaming france!

Babangidapikin:
Africa doing themselves can't we have an African Union Passport.

In Europe, they don't need Visa to transverse within the European countries. As an African, don't even think of visiting without firstly considering how to navigate their stringent Visa policies.
But in Africa, we close our doors to neighbours; ourselves, and widely flung the door open to the foreigners even grant them Visa on arrivals left, right, and centre.

Politicians travel with diplomatic passports which don't require visa application. Many of them purchase overseas citizenships through citizenship by investment programs using stolen funds. A private businessman like you and Mr Dangote don't have a diplomatic passport and don't have the privilege that goes with it. You will have to queue, pass interview, get visa denials before getting approval. Dangote loves Nigeria with passion if not, the frustrations re enough to abadon Nigeria and go spend his loot in Europe like the politicians
