Africans are blessed with a lot of minerals that if this resources are gainfully used for benefit of their citizens, this God given resources would add colours to Africans. Countries in Africans like Nigeria, Serial Leone, Ghana, kenya, south Africa and lots more you will a lot of natural resources either misused or abandon by government and even if they see need to use them, is either abused or mismanaged. Petrol in Nigeria till today is been refined outside country and still import back to Nigeria on a high price, lots of minerals like coals, salt, kerosene, gas, petroleum and so on but no appropriate handling of this resources, so even the citizens can not benefit from it. If Africa can make use of their resources well, they will be more independent, free from indebtedness and indirect colonial system of other countries.
Africa was and still is considered the richest continent on earth with all its riches. That is why most of the successive civilizations were hastening to destroy Africa in order to take advantage of its reserves. In the past, colonization was done directly, and all resistance movements were abused, and after World War II and the declaration of the United Nations Charter, most countries were able to achieve independence, but the colonial powers did not leave them alone and instigated internal strife and civil wars in order for the peoples of Africa to remain in ignorance. One of those ways to deplete the continent's capabilities is the financial system imposed by France on several countries in the so-called CFA franc, in which countries that adopt this system cannot deviate from France's will since their currency is minted and evaluated by the French Central Bank, this can be considered The worst kind of colonialism.
