Its because your African leaders are terribly greedy and failed to understand the consequences of letting such valuable resources to exploited.
You know what, they are not coming to exploit your resources because they don't have them. Don't be surprise that they may have more resources than you have in your African countries, but because they understand the terrible consequences of exploring those resources, they prefer not to touch them, and look else where (full of greedy people) to exploit/explore. Just know that, money WILL NEVER be able to replace value attached to unexploited places in our various communities across Africa.
Someone can be greedy and still have good leadership qualities. Build something amazing and overprice the project. Greed is not the biggest problem of black people - lack of innovative ideas is.

They’re just after illegal immigrants. They have no problem with Africans but what do you want them to do when illegal immigrants are getting too much..

But then, I Dey see something like $8k fine. Nah win-win situation. Anything to cash out from the illegal immigrants is a win-win..
"2 years jail term and $8k before allow to leave." There is no win to the other person only for the country.

Imagine. Cambodia of all country. It's well.
If Nigeria and other African countries had their acts right will all these yeye countries see them finish? Countries like Cambodia who were nothing compared to Nigeria, Ghana etc few years ago our people are now running to, even India of all places.
It is good, those countries should kick out Africans especially Nigerians, I also hope it is extends to western coubtries too, that Canada in particular. You cannot put useless people in power who then ruin the country, you then run to another peoples country who have chosen proper leaders to make the place conducive to stay. Funny thing is thag those same Africans from abroad will from there still be supporting the political class that made them refugees. One idiot like that was shouting buhari, Sai baba, by the time economy hit him he ran to Canada with his family at over age 50, guys were shocked, one asked him on Facebook why he ran, the guy said he did not see hope for himself and his family in naija any longer, funning thing is he started again with Tinubu, Jagaban this, builder of men that, he will curse and run down Obi and others at every opportunity, meanwhile na refugee for Canada. That guy should be sent back to come and enjoy naija under Apc.

Cambodia Orders African Nationals To Leave By May 31 Or Face Jail Term, $8,000 Fine

The Royal Government of Cambodia has issued a stern immigration directive ordering African nationals currently residing in the country to leave before May 31, 2026, warning that anyone found remaining in the country illegally after the deadline would face arrest, imprisonment and heavy financial penalties.

The directive is contained in an “Official Notice” issued by the General Department of Immigration under Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior.

The notice, addressed to “all African nationals in the Kingdom of Cambodia (Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda and others),” stated that an existing waiver granted to affected foreigners would officially expire on May 31, 2026."

The move is expected to affect several African nationals currently residing in Cambodia under temporary immigration waivers or overstayed residency arrangements.

According to the Cambodian authorities in its address to affected Africans, “the waiver granted to you will officially end on 31st of May 2026.”

The government further instructed that “all foreign nationals whose fines have been cleared must leave Cambodia on or before 31st of May 2026.”

The notice warned that any African national who remains in Cambodia beyond the deadline would face severe legal consequences.

It stated, “Any foreign national who enters, remains or is found in Cambodia from 1st of June 2026 will be arrested at the airport or at any location.”

The authorities added that offenders “shall serve a jail term of 2 (two) years; and pay a penalty of $8,000 (Eight Thousand US Dollars) before being allowed to leave Cambodia.”

The Cambodian government also disclosed that nationwide arrests of undocumented foreigners would commence immediately after the expiration of the deadline.

According to the statement, “The Cambodia Police will start arresting any foreigner at any hideout in Cambodia from 1st of June 2026 for overstay and will hand over to the immigration authorities for legal action.”

The government urged all affected persons to comply strictly with the directive, stressing that violations of Cambodia’s immigration laws would not be tolerated.

“All concerned are hereby informed to strictly comply with this notice. The Royal Government of Cambodia will not tolerate any violation of our immigration laws,” the notice added.

The notice was issued by Lt. Gen. Som Sopheak, Director General of the General Department of Immigration, and approved by Gen. Sar Sokha, Secretary of State at Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior.

See hopeless country evicting Africans ooooh. If not for the hopelessness and failure of Governance in Africa (especially black Africans), who would travel to Cambodia.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS YOUR PROBLEM.

ALL THE MILLIONS OF CHINESE, PAKISTANIS AND INDIANS IN AFRICA, AMERICA AND EUROPE, ARE THEY THERE BECAUSE OF ''HOPELESSNESS AND FAILURE OF GOVERNANCE AMONG YELLOW AND BROWN ASIANS''?

DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE OVER 10 TIMES MORE ASIAN IMMIGRANTS WORLDWIDE THAN AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS?

IGNORANT PEOPLE DROWNED IN SELF-HATE.

Africans.....we need to get together and fight our oppressors on our lands. We are oppressed by the so called leaders that don't care about developing the continent......at some point there will be no where to run to. Where do we even start from? Black people on this earth really do need divine intervention. It is literally a curse to be black in our current world as it is and frankly even probably since our entire existence as a race. No need to sugar coat anything, we have failed as a race.

If Africa is better than Cambodia, Africans won't milk themselves at home just to travel to Cambodia.
Be specific about the particular parts of Africa you're talking about. I just don't understand our people's obsession with traveling "abroad". If I advertised on this forum that I could process visas for people to travel to Nepal, my inbox would be filled up. Not every "abroad" is abroad but many of you don't research, you believe once it's not Africa, it's great to live in😂😂. In case you dont know, there are thousands of your compatriots living in Afghanistan as we speak, so are you saying that Afghanistan is better than Nigeria or Rwanda or Kenya? In what metrics?
Combodia is one of Asia's poorest countries, what exactly is taking our people there? The black south Africans are not necessarily living a better life than we Nigerians but they are respected abroad because they are relatively more contented and seldom travel abroad to seek economic refuge. The more you present yourself in a way that seems you can't live without people, the more the level of disrespect you bring upon yourself.

Black people, you are on your own and have no friends! A continent rich in human and mineral resources have become the trash rag and disrespected all over the world because the people are simply not angry enough to demand excellence from their leaders and governments!

How the mighty have fallen. Imagine a shithole dump like Cambodia disrespecting the entire continent.

Irrespective of any political party that wins the Nigerian elections, the corruption and poor governance due to bad leaders will not abate.

When given the opportunity to rule, Obi will do worse than even Tinubu could ever imagine. None of these politicians are good enough to rule the country and they are all there to enrich themselves and their constituents, period!!!!!!!

You think Obi who’s jumping from party to party wants to rule in order to save the common man? LOL He’s spent so much money and has had years of sleepless nights so, IF he gets elected, he will do exactly like his predecessors and turn his back against those who voted for him. He will reclaim all his political financial losses and investments and reward those powerful people who help put him in power!!

Poor electorates produce poor politicians. Peter Obi and Atiku support Tinubu's disastrous World Bank-supported economic reform.

Both Atiku and PO lack the institutions to transform Nigeria's economic landscape; the civil service is non-existent, so how will any leader implement social development when they first implement structural reforms to the civil service?

You choose to be naive about Obi and it is a personal choice made by you for reasons likely that he is igbo and mabe you are Yoruba. Oga obi is not a thief and his lifestyle shows it, he has been in the position, why has he not been arrested and prosecuted, after all rufai, malami etc are all facing charges. Practically all governors have criminal dossiers on themselves, from Oga at the top all the way to the boffun in the senate, why is it Obi has non? Guy how many of the politicians Nigeria has had that had a life before joining politics? It is been told to you Obi was already wealthy, not as a government official but in free enterprise. Oga when you look at Obi, know the fellow is peers with Jim ovia, Tony elumelu, late wigwe, fola adeola etc, people that got to the peak of the banking industry, not briefcase contractors who use padded contracts to accumulate wealth. The least can be said of the current fellow who we do not know what primary school he attended, the secondary school was established years after he claimed to go there, there is currently a 2m reward for anyone that can show just 1 classmate of his, he claimed to be an accountant who worked with deloitte, the company says they have no records of him. The only known source of wealth is being the overload of Lagos state. Abi did you hear Obi setup a company collecting percentage of the income of Anambra state? Did you hear he converted government land and properties to his associates? Did you hear Obi setting up and collecting "pension" for life after living government house?
Anyway you know the truth but decide to be blinded and it is your choice, truth of the matter is that Nigeria is where we are today a economic disgrace, abi is your life better under the current fellow? heck for all we know you have ran away to live abroad and from there still supporting those that made naija so unbearable.

Africa is better than Cambodia though. Not sure what they're looking for there.
The Chinese, Americans, Europeans in Nigeria are here because Nigeria is better than their country right?

FALSE!

They are here because Corruption thrives here and they can freely do all manner of Criminalities that would instantly land them in Jail, in America, Europe and "Death Sentence" in China.
In Nigeria, it is a free for all (Criminals).

Do you see what Lebanese and Indians do in Nigeria?
The young man claimed he didn't know why Africans are in Cambodia, since Africa is better, which implies that he feels people only go to other countries to work because the other countries are better.

And you are completely wrong.
Europeans, Chinese Americans are in every country on the planet.
Are you saying it because of the corruption in the countries that you find them there?
So if an American company decides to invest in Nigeria and open an office here it's because of corruption?
All these foreign companies helping to develop the country are here because the country is corrupt?

Are you sure you are taking your meds?

You mean when African leaders make Africa uninhabitable for Africans?
Until we resolve the problem of Inept, Corrupt and Clueless leadership in Africa, foreign Countries will continue to humiliate Africans and treat us like Sub-Humans.

We need to solve our problems at home, only then will outsiders start respecting us.
Bad Leadership affects all of us, irrespective of Tribe, Language, Religion, Party Support


Compare China of 2025, with China of the 70's, to the 90's.
