Africans go develop your nations...stop collecting "aids" from the slave masters. They just roping you with their "aids". African leaders and citizens alike, fix your affairs and be patriotic. The only single reason Europe and America are more developed than Africa is patriotism. There are countless Nigerians who will sell the country and all in it and collect the money without even blinking. Be patriotic these guys aren't your friends!

These white people left government for us to manage years ago. Ever since, what have they been able to do for themselves? Fools. Everything is blamed on Europe when it is obvious Africans know nothing about governance. Western world abandoned Russia, now they remember Africa exist. If they think Russia love them, they are day dreaming. Russia is there for their pounds of flesh.
