Without sounding like a broken record, I have repeated it times without number that no Asian or no White person in Western developed nations will ‘deliver’ African countries, especially Nigeria, and bring her out from the shackles of underdevelopment and backwardness.

SINCE THE WEST AND ASIA WANT AFRICA TO REMAIN UNDERDEVELOPED/IMPOVERISHED – AFRICA/NIGERIA MUST DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP AND BREAK THIS JINX




The developed nations are nothing but parasites, who live on the blood and sweat of their host (Africa/Nigeria)… They do not want Africa to succeed because if we succeed who are they going to exploit?…
The Western developed nations of Europe, America, and Asia, have made up their minds to do whatever that need to be done to keep Africa/Nigeria in its impoverished and undeveloped status, which has continued to favour them…
Nigerians/Africans and its political leaders should open their eyes and realize that this is “international politics” – where every nation/continent for itself first, in seeking for its ‘interests’ before any other thing…
These developed countries know very well that if we become developed like them, we will become an economic threat to them… This is something we must achieve as a people…


Without sounding like a broken record, I have repeated it times without number that no Asian or no White person in Western developed nations will ‘deliver’ African countries, especially Nigeria, and bring her out from the shackles of underdevelopment and backwardness. African countries have remained the ‘fertile farm land’ for the Asians and the Whites to ‘plant’ and ‘harvest’ for their continuous growth, but to the detriment of the African people.

If Nigeria/Africa get to attain full development status to be reckoned with across the globe, who will the developed super-power nations like China, UK, US, France, etc., ‘exploit’ for their own continuous growth? As hard as this may sound, that is the bitter truth. Why did the slave trade era succeed? Amongst other factors, it is ‘primarily’ because these white foreigners are parasites, they really do not have anything concrete in terms of natural endowment like we do have here in Nigeria, and other parts of Africa. These developed nations are nothing but parasites, who live on the blood and sweat of their host.

Surprisingly, they have been coming out boldly to even declare this deception and strategy they have adopted to keep Africa where it is because it is to their advantage. I recently saw another video online on a White lecturer speaking to his audience about why Africa has to remain poor. In his words: “AFRICA, HISTORICALLY, ESPECIALLY SUB-SAHARA AFRICA, HAS BEEN FUNDAMENTAL TO THE GLOBAL PROSPERITY OF THE ADVANCED ECONOMICS. And Africa had a role to play, as a raw-material-producer.

“We will not allow Sub-Sahara Africa to escape that. We’ll do anything to keep Sub-Sahara Africa where it is, also impoverished. IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO THE PROSPERITY OF EVERYONE ELSE. So, let’s be clear about that. And this means, ALL THE ECONOMIC STRUCTURES, ALL THE GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE ECONOMICS WE TEACH, EVERY ONE OF THEM, ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP AFRICA EXACTLY WHERE IT IS. And whether it is Europe or US; or now China; it’s always the same.

“WE NEED AFRICA TO BE IMPOVERISHED, BECAUSE WE NEED THOSE RAW MATERIALS AND WE NEED THEM CHEAP. That’s the message. It doesn’t mean to say that there’s nothing Africans cannot do. Of course, there is! But this is the opposition that they are fighting. This is what it’s all about. BECAUSE IF AFRICA DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, I ASSURE YOU THAT THE LIVING STANDARDS OF ALL THOSE IN EUROPE AND AMERICA AND ASIA, IS GOING TO FALL. And that is a big price to pay. I assure you that the West is not going to allow that to happen WITHOUT A BIG FIGHT. This is what it is fundamentally about… we are part of the producers of the ideology, at universities and academic institutions, we are complaisant about this whole enterprise. The jobs of the many European Academics, is to convince the Africans that they have to keep doing what they are doing. And to show, it is your fault that you are poor. It’s not our fault. This is what we do in our Academic institutions.”

In the words of Lord Macaulay’s address to the British Parliament on 2nd February 1835, he said: “I have traveled across the length and breadth of Africa and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country. Unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, FOR IF THE AFRICANS THINK THAT ALL THAT IS FOREIGN AND ENGLISH IS GOOD AND GREATER THAN THEIR OWN, THEY WILL LOSE THEIR SELF-ESTEEM, THEIR NATIVE CULTURE AND THEY WILL BECOME WHAT WE WANT THEM, A TRULY DOMINATED NATION.”

If all of the above statements do not elicit something inside you to want to prove these people wrong, I really do not know what else would. Like I have repeatedly mentioned in several write ups: no foreign country will genuinely help Nigeria/Africa to develop as it ought to. No foreign country will honestly help Nigeria/Africa to holistically fight corruption with sincerity of purpose. All they know how to do is to mock Nigeria whenever they are discussing about the country. Nigeria/Africa must be developed by Nigerians/Africans, period! Every country wants to achieve greatness. The Americans would say: “America First”. Perhaps, it is time we start saying: “Nigeria/Africa First.” We should adopt this slogan and start practicing it. This is a competitive world and it is only the strongest that survives or achieves greatness. We have to make Nigeria/Africa great by becoming more patriotic. And stop our young and vibrant youths from trooping out of the country to help contribute towards the development of other foreign countries.

Nigerians/Africans and its political leaders should open their eyes and realize that this is “international politics” – where every nation/continent for itself first, in seeking for its ‘interests’ before any other thing. So, they really do not care about Nigeria’s/Africa’s development as they claim to portray. It is all ‘pretence ’. Nigerians/Africans should not be under any illusion that these foreigners want us to succeed as a nation/continent. No, they do not want us to succeed because if we succeed who are they going to exploit? This is international politics. So, we should not trust these Asians/Americans/Europeans because they really do not like us, they do not want us to settle.

They want Nigeria/Africa to continue having security challenges so that they will keep having somewhere to sell their guns and weapons of war? The Fulani cattle rearers that we hear today, when did they really started carrying AK47? Was that their practice in rearing cattle years ago? This is just another guise, another name. It is no longer Boko Haram, it is now Killer Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits.

These people want us to keep having problems in Nigeria, so that they can continue to steal the crude oil and meet their ships on the high sea, where they buy and sell in hard currencies – money for their government. And plus, they must sell their guns and weapons. Who buys these guns? It is the few idiots amongst us, that still pay them for their guns.

These people want Nigeria’s economy to remain a ‘mono-economy’ so that we will keep importing (capital flight) all the other products/materials gotten/produced from petroleum resources and natural gas. So, do you think they are happy any time the Nigerian Government succeeds at some things? Obviously not! These foreigners want us to continue importing refined tomatoes, which we have in abundance here. They do not want our electricity to work because they want us to keep buying their generators. Today, Nigeria’s economy is generator-driven. If Nigeria should have stable and efficient power services, we are very certain that Nigeria would no longer import generators from China and other foreign developed countries. And so, with everything; Nigeria will no longer go and do shopping in their countries - we will no longer buy their clothes, shoes, canned foods, industrial and safety materials/equipment, etc.; Nigeria will no longer send their children to study in foreign countries; Nigeria will no longer patronize their hospitals; Nigeria will no longer export her crude oil and natural gas at a cheaper international-market-determined rates and then buy refined petroleum products at a higher price, and import commodities produced from crude oil and natural gas as well.

We can see that the developed countries are seriously feeding fat from Nigeria and Africa. Why do we think that China and the rest are investing so much in Nigeria and Africa? To them, Nigeria is their number one market in Africa. If a new car is produced and advertised today, within a few weeks, we would see the fleet of the same newly manufactured car imported into the country’s automobile market. In other words, these foreign countries, largely depend on Nigeria and Africa in the sales of their commodities.

The developed countries may not want us to develop as we should, so that Nigeria/Africa will continue to economically and be financially-tied to them, and also patronize exports. If Nigeria/Africa is developed, the Nigerian youths with their talents and special skills will no longer troop to Europe and America to help them run and develop their foreign countries. Nigeriens/Africans with talents and special skills are drifting to these foreign countries to help develop their economies, and that is how they are also making a lot of money from Nigeria via their Visa application fees, which they remit back home to their foreign countries.

It is therefore foolishness for Nigerian political leaders and its people to think that the advanced countries will help us to grow our economy. These developed countries know very well that if we become developed like them, we will become an economic threat to them. There is no better time other than now, for Nigerians to grow up and start making the necessary changes they urgently need to make to turn things around for good in this country. We really do not have the luxury of time on our hands to think that the world would wait for us to wake up whenever we like. Every nation is speeding up ahead and overtaking those they can, in the race of development and economic domination, prominence and recognition. Nigerians, we seriously need to wake up and grow up/wise up! We simply cannot continue like this as a nation.

I strongly believe it is about time for all Nigerians and Africans, regardless of our obvious differences, to wise-up in respect of projecting a united front and common interest, against the enemies of the nation/continent, who want us to remain divided, underdeveloped and impoverished for their personal interests.
