Well look how little revenue they got ? Why were the west paying more to Arabs per kilo than to Africans ( look this up the west pay below the market average for many resources when they purchase from Africans)

That is western propaganda about russia

Don’t you think it’s unfair we help France’s infrastructure while we suffer ? It’s only impractical because it’s a few countries standing alone we need more of us we have strength in numbers.

Surely you can see Nigeria are on the wrong side of history ?

I just outlined how the UK and World Bank were investing billions in their infrastructure

Meanwhile Russia is pulling troops from Niger and smuggling resources from there

Picking one side is fruitless and ignorant. Don’t take bets on great powers. We can’t afford it and we can’t afford to get it wrong

You keep arguing that picking Russia was the right move. That’s incredibly flawed and dangerous

I’ve mentioned Russia once brother scroll up, just because I’m against the west doesn’t mean I’m pro Russia. You’re right this is about controlling our destinies. I’ll leave with some words from a great man who undoubtedly would support what are his modern day equivalents. (Seriously look it up the new leaders of these nations are quoting some of our greatest ancestors)

“People of Africa unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains. We have a continent to regain. We have freedom and human dignity to attain.”

Kwame Nkrumah

Also look into the wests actions in Africa brother. One example Congo is suing apple, sadly the west have hidden behind a wall of fake companies and mystery investors. But we all know Africa is being robbed by all outsiders.
