in terms of natural ressources,central africa is 1000times richer than west africa and bantus are the most ingenious and smartest people in africa.with the right leadership,centrak africa will be the richest region in africa.the problems in central africa originated in colonization:we were colonized by the wrong people!Frenchs and belgians brought their wrong ethos(laziness,clientelism,lack of economic dynamism,etc,,,) to central africa.Had congo been colonized by england,congo would ways ways above nigeria today.it is also a fact that white people like west africans more than bantus.The reason being that west africans are easy to manipulate.100% of africans who were used as mercenaries,henchmen,killers,etc...by whites during colonization were west africans.West africans were liked for their lack of morals!99.9% of africans who fought the white man were of bantu origin!Even today in france and belgium,a west african(senegalese,malian,...) has 10times more chances to make it big in the public service than a bantu.But, we shall overcome!

the is a difference between people smartness and bad leadership!many great races and great nations went through situations worse than what congo is exxperiencing!Rasputin,a drunkard,homosexual,pervert ruled russia!Conchini an italian adventurer ruled france!jews are supposedly the smartest people on earth,yet it took them 1000s of years to get their shit right!Even rome failed into destitution thanks to sick and depraved people like nero,caligula,caracala,etc....Italians bankers who civilized englishs(who civilized nigerians) were convinced that englishs were animals,savages unfit for progress,But guess what?England ended up ruling the world!Equatorial guinea is doing way way better than ghana!And nigeria isnt doing that great!I checked nigeria`s state by state GDPs and I was totally disapointed.

lagos:population 10 millions,gdp=30billions.same gdp as botswana that has 1million of people!
And lagos state is the richest state in nigeria!

Onila you know I like you so much especially for your dialy exagerations grin "Cameroon is dying to enter in ECOWAS"? which Cameroon are you talking about? Not those I know honey we can't leave CEMAC ( rich and not too many) to enter in a sub region with which we don't share many cultural aspect( maybe a bit with Nigeria) or language.
I like Africa and Africans and I know West Africa( many countries) thank God but I'm not so sure ( in fact I'm sure) that Cameroonians wouldn't have any advantage to enter in this insitution that I pointed as useless like any other sub regional institution in this Continent. Africa needs to fight against many internal issues ( ethnico tribal among them) and those monitored insitutions won't help them. Onila you like talking about "French puppets" but the ECOWAS in which Nigeria is taking part is ruled but this French in case you don' t know grin

But back to the topic every African country has its goods and bads but please leave comparison dear because even Somalia or Sudan got buildings but we all do know what's their "power" level in Africa, and a country is NOT just the capital and that's the problem with you everything is about capital while other regions are totally left, just an example compare North Ivory Coast Odiénné or Séguéla( I've been there) and other village in Equatorial Guinea for or Maroua and Garoua example then we'll discuss

lagos has no land and natural resources unlike botswana. The lagos economy is fueled completely by man power.

Also why is it that many cameroonians I only speak English and French but no African dialect? Also why is it most cameroonians go by their French name and not their African name? Do Europeans go by African names and not their European names?

[/quote] which Cameroonian language do u know nd understand? If they speak when u r here nd dnt understand wont u complain and say its rude?
As for the name every Cameroonian has his African name unfortunately not the same with the first name but there is a reason ,the BANTU who constitue the majority) never had first name they used to double the last name eg: lua will become lualua etc.
I dnt know whats you mean by french name there is a variety of first name out there coming from the western not only from french nd i think it is due to the invasion/colonization where those western destructed our cultures and identity.but i doubt Camwroonian nd Cameroon have the exclusivity on this serious issue..

All my friendswho are Cameroonian go by a French name. I have Nigerians who go by Igbo Yoruba, etc name but I have yet to see a Cameroonian who goes by their African name. I eeven ask my cameroonian friends if they speak their native tongue and none of them do. Only English and French. Some rather learn Spanish, Chinese, Japanese before their mother tongue. Is it due to Christianity. I know most of my friends who are Nigerian go by their Christian or Muslim names.

i don't totally agree with the form but he is not totally wrong it is a fact that britain and germans are more liberal they don't try to put a hand on everything in their former colony , every time an ex french colony want to change their currency or diversify their partners french kill the president or do everything to jeopardize it. even back in the colonization time both county were different in their colony management britain used the indirect rule while french used the direct rule.
