All cap28 was saying was that it is unfair to look at one side of the story. And he simply pointed out what he belives are the root causes of the violence in Congo.
He's right mainstream media only chooses to show one side of this story ( stupid ungovernable Africans raping, killing and stealing for no real reason) And everything that doesn't support this veiwpoint is labelled a conspiracy theory.
I understand that many people are offended by criticisms of the west (and white ppl in general) but ask yourself : when your Hausa, A.A , or Igbo brothers ate attacked or insulted on this forum do you rush to their aid the same way you diligently defend the west?

Mandingo, sometimes I disagree with things you say, but I gotta admitt that you speak the truth.
The Africans who always rush to defend the white man on this forum would never be bothered to defend their Hausa, A.A , or Igbo brothers in the same situation.

^^ Rgp92 is probably bilingual, so the fact that he can speak his maternal tounge and passable written english is impressive on its own.
PoliticsMineral And Gas Rights Should Belong To The Local Govs Not The Federal Gov. by pleep(op): 6:15pm On May 16, 2011
Does anyone else find it rediculous that mineral rights have to be purchased from the federal government, who makes all the money. While the local government areas who contain the minerals are stuck with the enviornmental costs? The money in nigeria is being spread out to much, who agrees that we should move toward a more confederate system?

Katsumoto:
So because the govt doesn't depend on income taxes, it shouldn't care about the welfare of its people.
Name one country that privatised all its public corporations and was better for it. Brazil and China are exponents od State Capitalism; they are both doing very well. There are arguments for and against all types of government; the the key is for a nation to select the type of govt that suits it best.
Name one country that depends solely on taxes; just one. Also, since the revenue of Nigeria should come only from taxes, what should Nigeria do with its reserves? Should it give it to charity? Why can Nigeria not pool all its revenues (taxes and revenue from natural resources, agriculture, etc).
If a majority of Nigerians are living on $2 a day, do you honestly think that the govt will be able to function with taxes from its citizens?

Did you bother to read the entire thread before you jumped in? If you did, why did you ignore valid questions that were raised such as endemic corruption and incompetent and corrupt leadership. If you didn't, then take the time to go through the thread first. Do you envisage that all you advocated would be achievable without visionary and competent leadership?

Please don't come back with a free market doctrine; address the issues that are bedeviling Nigeria and stop focusing on some utopian idealism.
AMEN!
