This same court that used a French judge to rule that Bakassi Peninsula belongs to Cameroon instead of Nigeria, thereby handing over an area inhabited by Nigerians that is extremely rich in hydrocarbons to a former French colony, only for French Oil Majors to start oil explorations in this area immediately after...

A perfect tool in the hands of neo colonialists. Why are Nigerians not pressuring their government to follow suit and renounce this highly compromised court? Millions of Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Libyans, Syrians, Congolese, Iranians, Pakistanis, Venezuelans and co, killed by forces aligned to NATO, yet none of the western perpetrators of these crimes is before the ICC for any charges. It is always the citizens/rulers of the developing world ..

What is Nigeria still doing as a member?

YOU ARE WRONG.

Africa has ALL IT TAKES to ''stand on its own''.

Africa ''STOOD ON ITS OWN'' and was PROSPEROUS before the colonial invasion.

We have NEVER needed ''white people'' to survive and thrive in Africa.

UNDERSTOOD?

It is the OTHER WAY ROUND.

It is the WEST that needs AFRICA to survive.

In fact, if CONGO ALONE decides to HALT exports of Cobalt, the ENTIRE world economy would crash the same week.

DRC is the ONLY COUNTRY ON EARTH with cobalt, and essential mineral used to build computer chips and conductors in every single computer.

Or should we talk about LITHIUM?

Do you know the world is relying on AFRICAN LITHIUM to power the new technological age?

Do you know that LITHIUM valued at over $12 TRILLION was discovered in just Nigeria alone?

Do you know that Elon Musk's TESLA came to NIGERIA begging to be sold raw lithium and Nigeria said NO?

That if you want Nigerian lithium you must build the Lithium battery factories IN NIGERIA?

This world is INTERRELATED.

Africa today is no more isolated. It has powerful allies like China, Russia, India, and Brazil.

Look, you Nigerian youths need to get rid of this idea that the west is the be-all-and-end-all of this world.

You are living in the past, and it's an embarrassment.

If tiny Burkina Faso can tell the west to get lost, AND NOTHING HAPPENS, and in fact their country is now developing faster, what are YOU afraid of as NIGERIA?
I truly admire folks like you who try to educate these people.
I tried to in the past but I have simply given up.
Niger,the so-called dirt poor,poo hole, halted the sale of uranium to "almighty" France via the Orano corporation and look how that nation is floundering today.
Look at what Burkina and Mali are doing to foreign,crooked gold mining companies like Barrick by seizing control of the mines and how those "omnipotent" corporations are pleading with those "dictators" to remain in those territories
Yet all some folks here do day in & day out is talk crap about Mama Africa because they don't know any better

Omo, the entire France is in a terrible economic crisis. People have filled the streets in protests.

All this because just a couple of Francophone nations kicked them out.

Africa is very powerful, something OTHER African people are finally realising, except Nigerians.

You are far detached from reality, the white men came to your land uninvited, exploited your land,enslaved and massacred your people, restricted you from coming to their land, turned your land into a dumping ground for fake and expired drugs, use your people as experiment to test drugs to diseases they created.

Do you really have sense at all?
Who were the ones trading in your ancestors as slave commodities across the Atlantic for centuries?
The Greens or purples?
Who were the one trying to impose disgusting and vile sexual behavior and practices on you and using economic and trade manipulation to induce your countries to legalize filth.
Who were the ones that successfully stopped SA from remaining an African Nuclear armed state?
The Greens or purples?
Russia and China actively supported SA's nuclear programme.

That's an excellent move by these courageous military governments, who are earnestly seeking for the betterment of their countries.
They should also withdraw from the useless UN which is nothing but a social club.
These countries have achieved a lot in a short while, what Nigeria under the cancerous APC government can never dream of,couldn't be dream of, not to talk of achieving, a government mired deeply in incompetence,cluelessness and mediocrity.
A useless government that page Nigeria from top largest African economy down to fourth and pegged her there,no moving forward, no backwards move.
These countries are making giant strides in industrialization, improving the living standards of the masses,with better electricity supply, medical care,manufacturing and what have you.
BF even is now in electric car assembly, while Nigeria is still struggling with adequate power generation.
What a shame!

You are only laying emphasis on the west. Are the Russians, Chinese, Indians, Brazil not whites? Are they not advanced countries compared to AFRICA? What you should be talking about is trade by barter. We even need more of their technology more than they need our natural resources. Africa as a continent CANNOT STAND ON IT'S OWN like you are making it look. Africa still run to these countries for education, Africa still learn from these countries militarily, Africa still learn from these countries politically. Some of the Africa owned space satellite in the orbit were launch by the white countries. That's what made us "third world countries". Just because Burkina faso are in good times with the Russians now doesn't mean there wouldn't be friction between them in due time. There are some "lick my ass" policy that Russia with come up with tomorrow that Burkina faso would not like to abide to. And then Burkina faso would become a lost child because there will be no where for them to run to. At the end of the day, the initial "gra gra" will end and they will become to Russia what they were to France. The superiority complex of Russia will soon bring it's ugly face and Burkina faso will succumb to it. Russia and the West are using Africa to fight their proxy war....then there you are thinking Russia is the messiah. Time will tell.

This comment is shocking!!! Go and read your history and what happened between 1450 - 1950 between Africans and Europe including the Americas. They are our WORST enemies. And also check out the economic sabotage and poverty inflicted on African people through harmful economic and banking policies of Europe/America. Where do your politicians hide all the money and resources looted from Africa? White man’s countries and banks! Do you know why? Ask yourself.

It was Nigeria who sold bakassi peninsula to Cameroon in order to checkmate Biafra without knowing that the area was rich in natural resources. The court's judgement was fair, cry me a River.

I speak nothing but the truth m freshtruth
The things you listed are crap. No one will stop using anything, unless they choose to. The knowledge that led to the creation of those things didn't come out of thing air. Mathematics, Science, Arts, etc, all have their foundations in Africa. What you need is proper education which appears to be a bigger problem than your low self esteem. That you didn't experience slavery isn't a reason to make reckless remarks about White rule. Even today, who told you Whites are not the problem? Have you heard of neocolonialism? What is the CIA's job overseas? Ignorance is bliss.

What good has the ICC been to Africa? Buhari who murdered unarmed youths at the lekki tollgate didn't face any ICC trial, and do you know why? Because he did the biddings of the western powers who determine who faces the ICC and who doesn't.
UAE has masterminded and sponsored the extermination of natives in Sudan and yet no ICC trial for them, UK and USA committed serious war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam Yet none of their leaders have ever Faced the ICC, the US don't even recognize the ICC and Obama won noble peace prize after drone striking Afghanistan to smithereens and killing millions of people in the process.

The ICC is an imperial tool
