Yes, it may sound somehow foolish or allegedly like an accusation but we know that the French are very crafty and wicked!!
When insurgency started first in Mali,instead of France to ensure that it didn't spiral out of control,they were only after their interests.
The fall of the late ghafaddis regime ensures a spill over of arms and ammunition's and the spread of terrorists from Libya into west Africa.
When the former president Goodluck Jonathan sent troops to Mali in 2009 and 2013,it irked France at the Malian doorsteps.
All the French colonies also participated in that mission but they never allowed Nigeria to handle anything substantial or to get to the root of the matter.
I noticed that instead the then head of the Ecowas who spearheaded the mission to Mali to fight terrorist was ordering Nigerian troops to be carrying equipments saying they were not disciplined like their french African troop counterparts.
Take a look at the hardship Nigerian soldiers faced back then.

Nigeria is expected to send 1,200 soldiers to Mali.
The condition of Nigerian troops in Mali is quickly sliding from bad to worse as inadequate supply of provision is forcing the contingent to solicit food from locals, PREMIUM TIMES can exclusively report.
According to a reliable defence source who asked not to be named, the Nigerian contingent solicits food and handouts under the guise of “courtesy calls” to community leaders in Mali.
After one of such courtesy calls on Monday, the troops received a handout of a cow and 50 bags of rice from the Prefect of Tuban in Banamba region.
“Our officers and men have resorted to begging locals for cows and rice for survival,” said the official.
The French government never had this problems with the French speaking locals.
When terror cells then began it's infiltration into Niger and camerouns and finally to Nigeria,terrorism began on a full scale.
But how did France contribute to the bad side of the war
The French media AFP were always biased in their reporting .
They instead glorified the terrorists and some french arm dealers also trained the terrorist.
The reason is different,Nigeria came to that war on its own.
The French influence on it's colonies is still very hard and wicked.
They made sure that Nigerias efforts in stabilizing the situation were neutralized.
When they now came again in form of Franco currency for African french countries ,it was rejected and didn't sail.
The french were also arming islamists jihadist from their own regions and that is why iswap was formed.
After the French discovered dthar their interests were protected in Mali,they withdrew their troops.
France has always lived on African francophone economies.
They have nothing compared to their Anglophone counterparts.
They are always subverting and always enslaving people .
This is why they were arming islamists militants.
France didn't want to do the dirty work but armed Islamic jihadists tondo their dirty works for them.
And this trail has continued from time immemorial.
Thank God last year that Mali cut off relations with France.
They seemed to have noticed their wickedness.
Also Algeria too cut off and said they would not have french as their official language again.
Tee French are not liberal at all.
Go to France airport and you would perceive that air of Hostility against others and majorly English speaking passengers.
You will understand why France would do anything to sabotage andnsubvert any English speaking country.
See how camerounian gendarmes are behaving to it's closest Nigerian economy right there.
Understand how it relates and you will uncover the French wickedness.
Am not trying to justify the English who also are manipulative.
All Iam trying to say is France played a part in distabilizing Nigerias economy also.
France has no gold mine but France has a gold reserve today.
Theybare ejust carrying all the gold in Mali .
If to say France has any good interest and Nigeria agreed to give them a good arm of friendship it is not what we are saying we would be saying today.
The french countries are now opening their eyes in Africa and even Morroco is now speaking a little English.
The truth is English are more successful than the french Africans.
France puts people in bondage.
Although France is no superpower,this is what is happening.
May the Lord deliver us.

The fault is not external, its internal. Its our problem, let's deal with it.

Can you fight France?

If they enable sophisticated weapons to be passed down to several militias, provide intelligence and training, implement sanctions and policies all to control resources in Africa, what chance do you think you have?

Especially, if you don't want to acknowledge their presence and control?

The colonialists are wicked, French, English, Portuguese, etc. We should focus on the harm done to us by the politicians who've allowed those foreigners to have their way in destabilizing the country.

Let's stop voting in corrupt and braindead politicians to lead us and the country would be an envy of the oppressors. Why aren't they flexing their muscles with China or even Vietnam? Because those countries have leaders who're after the good of their people.

It is an external problem that is why France arms the jihadist with sophisticated weapons while our own troops couldn't combat them.when this war started sometimes didn't u hear in news media that those terrorist caught were French speaking
Did u not hear.
This problem only became internal on the long run when our corrupt army top brass began siphoning security funds meant to enhance the operational proficiency of our troops into their pockets.
So the weapons the government brought again fell into the hands of terrosits while our soldiers were using rusty ak 47.
Arms and oil are the biggest markets in the world.
And the two also helps terrorism indirectly and directly

We don't need to fight France,we need to fight corruption among the military .
Or the top security brass.
After all was it not last year a French arms dealer was arrested in an African country ?
