@ the bolded, where did I say so?
I don't know what is wrong with some Nigerians.
So because I highlighted the atrocities of the French government in French West Africa, that means I support British atrocities in the English speaking part of Africa? Who doesn't know that Nigerias oil industry for instance, has been under British control post Nigeria Biafra war?

To start with, why do you Nigerians always feel an urgent urge to come to the defense of the West whenever their atrocious gimmicks in the continent are highlighted? Are you paid for this? Western countries are directly injecting themselves into local African politics. If I mention this, it's termed "excuses". But that's the reality. The French is looting french West Africa! The British is looting English speaking West Africa!! Those are the facts.


Trying to convulate the discuss by talking about bad leadership in Africa is jejune, because as far as I'm concerned, most bad leaders in this continent are products of the Western interventions in African politics.. the same problem that we are talking about here.. There are bad leaders everywhere. But when more powerful regions of the world insist on making criminals the leaders of African nations, they're sadistically entrenching evil.

I guess western powers were responsible for Tinubu emergence as APC presidential candidate?

It's called Colorism, I think... And in my book, it's a mental illness!

Beauty and ugliness are not restricted to skin tone!

Only a mentally-deficient person will think otherwise.

True.

Fair or no fair.
Get money.

So true

SLIDEwaxie:
I dnt understand. Is handsomeness about skin tone?

I wonder.

I know many fair dudes who are not handsome.

Drrnie:
I just dey look you... Carry on sha
There are so many dark boys that are much more good-looking than the fair ones

Example Obi Mikel

Cute couple.

Powersurge:
It is appalling that semi-illiterates will be ghe first to insult people on online. It is very dumb to equate a countries with its GDP. It is very dumb to equal countries with trillions, perhaps even quadrillion worth of resources to only its GDP.

Did you know that in 2014, 16 African countries signed a pact with France to supply $500b annually? Are you aware that Francophone countries must have their reserve in French currency? Did you know that only French companies have the final say concerning the extraction, processing and sales of natural resources in the 16 Francophone countries?

In March 2008, former French President Jacques Chirac was quoted as saying, “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power”. His predecessor, the enigmatic François Mitterrand already prophesied as far back as 1957 that, “Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century”.

Sighs

You keep repeating this crap, you have no proof of.

The question is where can this countries get 500billion dollars annually to give France , since their combined annual revenue is not up to $100billion?


The irony is that most of this francophone countries have China or Switzerland as there largest trade partners and not France.

The CFA has so much benefits, that 2 non francophone countries, Equitorial Guinea and Guinea baissu had to apply and become a member.


Go to quora, all this claims you wrote here, have be properly refuted with facts.

Is this, the kind of logical reasoning we are going to use to challenge the Western powers with?

Kaysalas:
I don't know what their largest exports and imports are, but I do know that the french have an overbearing influence on them.
Infact, the french rode on the backs of Africans to be the "super"power they are today. This had always irritated the Russians who are now doing everything possible to break their influence in Africa. You will never know the extent of pillaging France had done and continues to do in Africa. Could be even more than those figures you are disputing.

That's false.

France did not need francophone, African countries to become the economic gaints they are.

You can lookup the histroy of the economy of France .

Kaysalas:
I get your drift and I am not actually in support of the bogus figure. But my point is.. it could even be more or less, we can never know until actual values are determined. But don't think it's impossible for France to exploit Africans to that extent

The evidence so far shows little or no exploitation.

Take Niger or Togo for example, what is their largest exports, what is their biggest industry, what are the revenues, who controls the mineral exploitation?

Who is their largest trade partners?

When you try and answer this questions the picture becomes clearer.

Look at the faceless nitwit that wants to step into an area where he's CLUELESS about. You know you have absolutely nothing to contribute to the thread since you have NEVER seen the inside of an airplane more or less traveling outside Liegeria in your whole life. And yet you want to impress the people on this platform as if you're "Ajalla! You ought to hide your self in shame!

What a demented soul.

Don't quote me again.

It's obvious you are sick in the head.

Is their any point replying to a fool like you, you expect me to fall for your trap on a faceless forum.
When I had my first passport you were not even born talkess of travelling.



When you work where I work we can talk, for now go do the Janitor work.

Fool.

And I eat and live from thin air, but live in an oil rich country that is poorer than Church mouse.

Whose fault that Nigeria is poor?

All of us, including you and me.

You should ask your fellow penaldo and Man u fans.

This is a new year for you to go back and do what you do best...still be a TOUT! As I said, I want to waste your data and I am gonna continue to do it until you shut your dirty a$$ mouth and mind your own business. I want to teach you a lesson so that you should NOT get involved in issues that you have NO clue about. How would you know why Nigerians become less religious when they travel abroad when you have NOT even left the shores of Nigeria? But you want to get involved in an adult conversation.

Every clown claims to have travelled becos we are on a faceless forum.

See fool , I have travelled to several countries you cannot imagine or travel to in your failed life.

Aizenosa:
The same people who sow discord and arms as means of establishing peace. The same people who armed terrorist and extremist organisation such as ISIS and likes. They are the same people buying these minerals without the GDP benefiting from it.

False.
It's simple.

Google minning in francophone countries aswell as economy of francophone countries and see if the minning are included in their Gdp.

Kaysalas:
You are the one not thinking intelligently here. So you want France to wait until the former colonies have calculated their GDP below looting them dry?

Hmm!!!!

I don't even know were to start.

First GDP is the measure of the size of a country's economic output.

You cannot claim that France is looting francophone countries to the tune of 500billion dollars annually when those countries combined, yearly economic activity is not up to $300billion. It shows your argument is flawed, the so called resources you claim are part of the measured yearly GDP of those countries, or are you claiming that those francophone countries do not have exports and foreign earnings from their exports?

Numerouno94:
Technically, is Mbappe not an African? U can take an African out of Africa buh u can't take that African mentality out of him. Mbappe has really disappointed alot of football fans wit his arrogance.

So true.

chiefolododo:
you must be a Lawyer

Numerouno94:
Hahahahahahaha. U mean he will b disgraced like Tinubu? Bro abeg no burst my bele wit laugh. If Mbappe is not even careful he won't smell one single Balon d'Or nd UCL.
The boy has 4gotten that Halland is breaking goal scoring records at the moment. Nd being unda the tutelage of Pep at City, I see Halland going far, farther nd further. Anyone

True

JasonScoolari:
Nothing but the truth....If Mbappe continues like this, he will end up like Tinubu.

Very true.
The dude cannot even outshine Haaland talkless of lacing the boots of true greats, Na penaldo fans overhyped the dude.

For me the guy is overrated.

Aizenosa:
You do not understand, the resources mined at peanut prices and shipped overseas and turned into wealth I hope you understand that those are not actual GDP.

Take Nigeria for example, the tons of gold mined in the north and somehow find their way to the western world are they part of Nigeria GDP.

Why are they not part of GDP?
Is mining and extractive sectors of a country's economy not part of the economy?

Who is responsible for the resources not been processed locally?

Are African countries, the only countries exporting unrefined mineral resources?

Jokerman:
Nobody makes Mbappe feels like GOAT. Every person knows.

Mbappe has potential to be a great player. If he remains humble. Ronaldo is egoistic, but not arrogant, which even started after 35 years...

Mbappe is not even on Neymar level, talentwise... however this doesn't mean Pessi isn't holding Mbappe from reaching greatness, just like how Pessi held Neymar...

How many Ballon d' ore, did mbappe and Neymar win b4 Messi joined PSG?

GerogeI:
You mean how they tell you it works.
The DPR officials verifying first oil from wells that have been producing for months. They usually do yhe verification in hotels rooms inundated with girls and drinks.

Or is it the various undocumented export pipelines, which your govt. was denying existed untill Tompolo decided to unmask just one.

Or the crappy Production sharing contract designed by Britain for you. Contrast that with the simple "i own the oil" model run by middle east countries.

The worst type of a slave, is the one who does not even know he is enslaved, he thinks he is a favourite pet, just like a dog. Such are called animals due to their impared intellect, maybe thats why they refer to negroids as monkies behind their backs, so they wont hurt their feelings wuth upfront racisim.

I can stop laughing at your ignorance.

Mind you , I eat and live from oil and gas industry in Nigeria, you can tell your cock and bull story to ingnorant folks like you not me.

GerogeI:
Are you not the dumb person. The guy obviously is looking at the actual productivity of the French economy, not the relative inflated monetary value, which is fixed by their Govt. France does not produce cocoa, coffee, bauxite or even coal. But to naive believers like you, they tell you the cocoa beans is not worth even a tenth of the process of making chocolate. Every step, they force your stoogie govts. to devaluate your currency even further for loans like Buhari just did, so cocoa beans becomes even worth less than the "thougth" of making chocolate, yet without cocoa you can't have chocolate.

Aggrarian communities trading with paper currencies is the greatest stupidity of every African country. Trade with gold and silver coins that no one can manipulate, but no, we must print money backed by nothing as Europeans do.

I dey shame 4 you.

Were do I start to educate this dumb dude.

Incoherent and illogical crap you wrote here.

Try Google GDP of France and Franco phone countries , before we proceed.

Another afonja miscreant, what of the killings going on in the west, you are more concerned about east than your wild wild west

Clown.

Am not from the West, for your information am from Imo State, if don't agree with you does not make a someone from the west.

The truth is our ppl contributed to the level of insecurity in the East, we all would share the blame.

Coldie:
Whatever that’s happening in the east right now is not government fault but the fault of easterners.
We destroyed our region with our own hands in the name of Biafra.

There was a time on nairaland where we had many threads where people post developments going on in igbo land but currently all those threads are almost dead, why because of Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra.

Because of seat at home asaba end of 2nd Niger bridge has been completed while onitsha end is still under construction

You dey mind the foolish ppl?

Emeskhalifa:

All you care about is rotational govt. I'm a Yoruba too but let's get back to regional govt or we split into multiple countries. Na this born to rule stuff na why Naija dey where we dey. Always ruling and nothing to show for it. Tinubu won't even win Afonja muslim Teblik from Ilorin so why are you spamming nairaland with the same shiit. Go to sleep egbon.

True.

Regional government was the best, with little power at the centre.
