This is a situation of pot calling kettle black.
But in this case Russia under Putin is acceptable than other European countries.
You want to reap where you did not show instead of bringing a mutual offer that will benefit both us.

He is an idiot.

A BIG FAT IDIOT. AND, HE CAN ONLY TELL THAT TO THE IDIOTS WHO HAVE AGREED TO LISTEN TO HIM. What does he expect? These countries are picking the lesser evil. I DONT LIKE IT, BUT HE HAS NO RIGHT TO PREACH AGAINST THE SAME THING THEY ARE STILL SHAMELESSLY DOING.

The German Consul General’s warning to West African leaders against partnering with Russia reeks of the same imperialist arrogance that has plagued Africa for centuries. While he accuses Russia of playing a "power and resource game," the West—Germany, France, the UK, the US, and Canada—has perfected this very exploitation, disguising it as "aid" and "development."

Abi make we talk about resource theft & economic strangulation too? For decades, Western corporations have looted Africa’s minerals, oil, and gas while leaving its people in poverty. France’s CFA Franc keeps 14 African nations economically enslaved, forcing them to deposit 50% of their foreign reserves in Paris. The UK’s BP and Shell have plundered Nigeria’s oil, causing environmental devastation with zero accountability. Germany’s Siemens and Volkswagen profit from cheap African resources while lecturing Africans on "good governance."

Do we mention the Regime Change & Instability caused by Germany and her so called allies including France? The West claims to promote democracy, yet it overthrows leaders who resist exploitation. France’s assassination of Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and America’s role in Patrice Lumumba’s murder (Congo) prove this. In 2011, NATO destroyed Libya under the guise of "human rights," turning Africa’s most prosperous nation into a terrorist haven. Now, the Sahel nations (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) are rejecting France, and the West panics—not because it cares about "terrorism," but because it’s losing control.

Should we talk about Fake Aid & Conditional Support? Germany boasts of €500 million in "stability projects," yet it arms Saudi Arabia and Israel, who fuel wars in Yemen and Palestine. The US spends billions on AFRICOM but refuses to stop terror financing from Gulf allies. When African nations seek alternatives (like Russia’s Africa Corps), the West suddenly remembers "human rights"—the same rights it ignores in Palestine, Congo, and Sudan.

Africa Must Choose Its Partners. The West’s hypocrisy stinks. It steals resources, destabilizes nations, then offers pennies in aid while blocking real solutions. If Russia, China, or any other nation provides actual military support against jihadists (unlike France’s fake "Barkhane" operations) or infrastructure without colonial strings, Africa has every right to choose them. The era of Western monopoly over African sovereignty is over.

Enough with the lies. Africa will no longer beg for scraps from its exploiters.

Germany should focus on building it's country and economy. It is in shambles like France and UK.

It's a case of which is the lesser evil.. Can you blame the Sahel States for leaning towards Russia with the kind of injustice they suffered from countries like France?.
If Russia is ready to partner with those Sahel States for their development in exchange for rare earth metals and other mineral resources, fine and good.. the Sahel States need alliance for stability and economic growth.
Which partner?
France is bad but Russia is worse .
How do you people see putin sef.
Just look at sudan today, plundering their Gold,fueling civil war for the racket to continue.
Of what importance is the Russian alliance?
Africans should wise up,don't allow foreign powers pitch you against one another.
Only in peaceful environments progress abides.
The DRC for example is back in Washington after their short "bromance" with Russia was heading no where.Just an order from Trump to kagame to call M23 to order, there's been a pause in rebel advancement to take over Kinshasa.
That's not to say America too isn't about interest but Russia is just overhyped.
All those sahel States have lost grounds and more territories to the tuaregs since the so called Russian alliance.
Especially Burkina Faso and Mali.

Who is Germany to warn us about who we choose to associate with?
Do they pay our debts? Are they the ones building our schools and hospitals for free?
Their only active company here, Julius Berger, has turned into a cesspit of corruption and a conduit pipe for siphoning state funds through over bloated contracts and kickbacks..
They can choose who to align with but we can't?
Again, who is Germany!?!?
America, I know, Russia and China I know too...

No. The ''past is not the past''.

According to AI calculations, the west owes Africa 5,000 trillion dollars.

Britain owes Nigeria 50 trillion dollars.

The west are still exploiters.

Do you know the history of Germany in Nigeria , specifically the part of Cameroon that used to be part of Nigeria and World War 1 that was actually fought there>

Now go and read what the Germans did to the people of Namibia


Today GERMAN descendant control most of the land in Namibia


With all their expertise have they helped us in electricity? No they do not want to see us grow

They are not our friens
Yes Namibia was ran by Hitler ran Germany and we all know what happened.... But Namibia is way more developed and more peaceful than even their neighboring south Africa.... You all forget Wagner is a private military contractor that recurits die hard criminals into their ranks.... Meaning these guys can massacre an entire village of your people just because 2 people's actions where termed terrorists..... Keep playing with fire until it burns you

It's not surprising that he's full of praze for some of our leaders! They obviously have worked with them to keep Africa down.
Remember the Nzeogwu coup? The chap was socialist inspired like many people of his time, so when their plan didn't work out as planned, the west quickly organized a counter coup citting Igbo domination, but it was a frantic western effort to push back the way they removed Nkrumah, Lumumbar and others.
Unfortunately, those Nigerian leaders in the good books of the west happened to be the most corrupt.
Anyone remember how fast they got rid of Murtala Mohammed for overthrowing their favorite stooge, Gowon?
How was Gowon a stooge?
You say they got rid of Murtala Muhammad ? Really?

So was Obasanjo the replacement of Muhammad a stooge?

When you finish complaining tell us. You had all the centuries to make things right but no. Your people prepare to exploit our natural resources and deprive us of immigration freely to your countries. You neither pay restitution back nor admit your so called fore fathers committed serious and inhuman crimes.

The whole Europe wants to come here and take our resources and a little of Europe admit our people that even seek for greener pasture through dangerous adventures via Sahara desert to the Mediterranean. Some got thrown overboard and while others were rejected to their fate.

How many african asylum seeks has Germany admitted ? Italy is going a great job but they did commit as much in Africa like you guys. Where are the European technologies and Infrastructures transferred to Africa, where are they . How much do your people make from visa refusals annually from Africans for no justifiable reasons. If you can't help Africa , please leave us alone to choose our friends.

To equip ourself militarily becomes a crime and takes years for military hardwares to arrive even with conditions that are not reasonable. Finally what is EU doing in Africa when we have AU why the interference.

Agreed there are no SinoRusso infrastructures but where are the European union ones. We are grateful for your loan and intending interest. Please keep them to yourselves. Thanks once again

How is Namibia way more developed than South Africa by what measure ?? Please tell us 2 or 3 criteria that this is based on

Do you know who Namibia gained independence from? Do know that the Soviet Union was their major backer in that effort

What has Wagner got to do with my point that you quoted. So having good relations with Russia means Wagner must enter your country?
Can you name one entire village that Wagner have massacred in Africa

Germany has no right to dictate to Nigeria who to befriend. Upon its industrial knowledge and strengths, the Chinese are the ones working with us in developing our railways and power stations, not Germany. Nigeria has the right to befriend anyone, be it North Korea, Russia or Canada.

What stance exactly are you talking about ?
Rejecting the idea that Germany should tell us how to conduct our affairs
and pointing out that they are not in a position to preach that particular message. Germany seems
to be telling us

WE SHOULD BE YOUR ONLY FRIEND DO NOT PLAY WITH RUSSIA
my stance is

we should be able to pick who we play with who are you to tell us what to do after all you have not been particularly great friends to us, how has friendship with YOU benefitted us??
You need to read and comprehend before coming out to talk to people in a patronizing tone

What is the sentiment??
You say if it is beneficial it shouldn't be rejected.
Please clarify what is this IT that is being rejected and WHO is rejecting IT

We have been engaged with Europeans for over 100 years and are not developed


Tell us which major Asian country is not engaged with Russia
