Why Can't Africa Be One Country With Free Movement by Evilthoughts: 2:37pm On Jan 30
Why is that it's so difficult to move around Africa, more than it is in other continents?. Look at Europe, they have no borders and are successful and living well. Why can't we do that too in Africa. Where you can eat breakfast in Morocco, eat lunch in Nigeria and supper in Cape town? . Why are we not united like this? Why dont African leaders get rid of the borders to turn the continent into a powerful success story ?. We have everything to succeed and do well.

It’s cos Nigerian men commit all sorts of crime and no country wants them flooding their country. Drugs, Paedophilia, Yahoo yahoo, Terrorism, Cultism and the list goes on and on.

Exactly why I consider ECOWAS and AU useless.
You can't even send money amongst African countries with ease.

I think it's because the hateful countries in North and Southern Africa kick against this idea. Look at how the South Africans don't vote for a genius like Malema because they don't want Africa to unite . Very shameful

Value, HDI, religion, trade, agreements, security etc... It would be a disadvantage to some, and a big advantage to some.

EU (Sheghen states) - yes
Scandinavian zone - Yes
GCC (middle east) - Yes
South America? - Yes
NA (USA + Ca + some sister states) - Yes

It won't work because most Africa countries don't really practice democracy. And the vote of the masses don't count.
When a wicked leader deliberately make things difficult for he's/her people and you expect other sane countries to accommodate the Japa individuals from those failed countries?
Untill every country in Africa seat up like what we have in Europe (schengen) then they can start having the discussion about open borders.

A thought-provoking question. One of the biggest tragedies of a blackman is that he is more Arab than the Arabs themselves, he is more Jewish than the Jews themselves, and he is more European than the Europeans themselves. A blackman is anything but black and he loves anyone except his fellow blackman. If you want to fight for the right of a blackman, you need to use only one hand, for you need the other hand to defend yourself from a blackman who will certainly fight you.

You mean good leadership maybe, not necessarily democracy. How many countries in the middle east are democratic? Is Russia or China democratic?

Your thinking is really evil grin

1. I knew somehow Northern and southern Africa would be your target. We all know that those two parts of Africa would be flooded more than the other regions. We all know the so called "free movement " you're advocating for is actually mass migration , and the two mentioned regions would be the main victims.

2. No , we don't vote for the " genius " because he is actually a slowpoke. Why would countries who have less in common get rid of their borders to create an even bigger an unmanageable sh$thole? . Your United Stated of Africa would be a combination of Nigeria, Somalia and Ethiopia and we want no part of that. Civil wars , extreme poverty, lack of development, lack of democracy etc . No, thank you.

3. Most parts of Africa are very tribalistic and religious, which = hate, backwardness and under-development. Being borderless won't cure those but will spread the misery around. Every country should try getting rid of half their sicknesses*** before we can think about this, no?

4. Borders don't stop trade if truly that's what Africans want, but we all know most won't trade shyyt but will use this as an avenue to run away from their own self-created hells to go and cause trouble for others .

5. Europe still has sovereign nations, they knew very well that mixing Russians, Germans ,Brits etc together would cause never ending civil wars , hence they made sure each group runs their own affairs but most are united against any external threats which is what we should be discussing not this "one Africa " " one passport " rubbish. Disaster....disaster ....disaster grin.

I am talking about Schengen countries that have free mobility.
Russia is not part of schengen.
Everything boils down leadership. Check out all schengen countries, they try their best to be better and as such most of their citizens are ok with their country.
If you try free mobility in Africa presently, some countries basic amenities will be over stretched due to massive influx of Japa people escaping hard life.

There won't be any influx anywhere in Africa as the whole continent is useless . Even Malema sees this as some Africans are just self hating for not wanting unity by hiding behind influx and massive migration that won't happen.

Malema is better than most African leaders . He speaks the truth and loves Africa and its unity. Very exposed man unlike his uneducated people. Gaddafi was a good man but like South Africa his citizens are hateful people.

Correct my brother. This is why I don't understand why all these small useless countries don't see this. All they see is their xenophobia and discrimination against fellow Africans. Useless people. Africa has a lot of potential as one big country with one military, one currency and one passport.
