Africans are fools (#Edit: the government and non-government selling and playing politics on the commonwealth), they have all it takes to be wealthy and control the world, but still, they live in abject poverty. What a shame!
Even the colonisers did not help, as they've sucked them dry, but it seems things are now changing, with France sent back to its country in some African countries, and a few others are now talking tough.
Recently, Nigeria warned the US to tread carefully on the immigration ban on its citizen, that it would cost them access to their rare earth minerals. The continent has never talked tough before, but focused on the money that would gain. But now, they are discovering their stance in the world.
Here I want to say
that Africans are not fools, but they are divided through regional issues and linguistic this done by few big countries for their own interest even now few changes are happening but still it's never been easy to sit and talk about few problems which are needed to be talked and solved for development of this continent.
Nigeria's warning to Americans and French exit from few countries are positive development but still long way to go for them if they want to have better results for their own kids and future now China is entering, but all needed to be talked carefully and put their own interest on front this will give better way of talk.
Africa is full of sources but its never been used for their own peoples which is the biggest dilemma no one going to give them technology if they will keep like this divided and under corrupt leaders those are having never been good for common African peoples.
