fukking Boko makes me sick. I'm more shocked that these girls were in school like nothing was going on though. Schools had been attacked and numerous students killed plenty of times prior to this happening. Not sure why the parents had their girls in school like everything was sweet.

The problem with Boko haram is that first of all they are not even based in Nigeria anymore. There are reports that they have bases in chad, Niger and northern Cameroon. The problem now is that the governments of these countries are afraid of engaging boko haram because of fears of retaliation. So boko haram has free reign to recruit troops from neighboring countries and attack Nigeria.
Now if Nigeria were to send troops across our borders into these countries to fight boko haram it will become an international incident.
To make matters worse there are reports that the girls are not even in Nigeria. They are somewhere in Northern cameroon and chad.
Where is African unity and support on this issue and others? This seems like a case where it warrants some. Are they afraid of throwing gas on tribal or religious rifts?
African countries in general are the ones with will less regional military alliances. Most of the countries have only military alliances with their ex-colonisers! (funny, but you can’t do better!).
In the case France ex-colonies, France forbid them to seek other military alliance except the one it offered them.
“The monetary policy governing such a diverse aggregation of countries is uncomplicated because it is, in fact, operated by the French Treasury, without reference to the central fiscal authorities of any of the WAEMU or the CEMAC. Under the terms of the agreement which set up these banks and the CFA the Central Bank of each African country is obliged to keep at least 65% of its foreign exchange reserves in an “operations account” held at the French Treasury, as well as another 20% to cover financial liabilities.
The CFA central banks also impose a cap on credit extended to each member country equivalent to 20% of that country’s public revenue in the preceding year.
It’s now estimated that France is holding close to 500 billions African countries money in its treasury, and would do anything to fight anyone who want to shed a light on this dark side of the old empire.
The African countries don’t have access to that money.
France allows them to access only 15% of the money in any given year. If they need more than that, they have to borrow the extra money from their own 65% from the French Treasury at commercial rates.
To make things more tragic, France impose a cap on the amount of money the countries could borrow from the reserve. The cap is fixed at 20% of their public revenue in the preceding year. If the countries need to borrow more than 20% of their own money, France has a veto.
Former French President Jacques Chirac recently spoke about the African nations money in France banks. Here is a video of him speaking about the french exploitation scheme. He is speaking in French, but here is a short excerpt transcript: “We have to be honest, and acknowledge that a big part of the money in our banks come precisely from the exploitation of the African continent.”
(when they talk about rules they are talking about the fact that dangote built the plant without their permission)Its shimmering azure chimney stacks towering into the sky, the latest cement works launched by Africa’s richest man lies idle in a Senegalese meadow – stopped in its tracks by legal action and cut-throat competition in a rapidly growing industry.
Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote’s cement business has been flourishing elsewhere in Africa and the Senegalese project, first conceived four years ago, was due to start production in June.
But the nation’s government is being taken to a regional arbitration court in Ivory Coast by French manufacturer Vicat, which claims that the plant represents a “distortion of competition” in a country where the market is already saturated.
“This is the first time in the history of Senegal that we have seen a plant built in violation of all the rules,” said Boubacar Camara, the president of Sococim, a Senegalese subsidiary of Vicat.
It’s a race against the clock. Once production begins, it will be much more difficult to intervene. Given the conditions in which he has installed his plant, Dangote could come and set whatever prices he likes.”
Dangote had said the operation would create 4 000 jobs and, in any case, the state had no power to oppose it, a source close to the Senegalese ministry of mines said.
French President François Hollande wrote to his Senegalese counterpart Macky Sall in January about the plant “in order to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by Sococim”, according to a source in the Senegalese presidency.
The issue of Bakassi have trended for years in the West African region between Nigeria and Cameroun over the oil rich region but the Former Governor of Cross River state disclosed how France would have gone to war with Nigeria over the oil rich region.
Speaking at the 60th birthday lecture in honour of Justice Charles Archibong (rtd) held in Lagos, Duke said any attempt to ignore the International Court of Justice, ICJ, judgement would have been disastrous for Nigeria. He said: "France would have wiped us out.
The French President made it clear to us that it has put on alert its military and showed us the entire position of our military and exactly where we were and our daily movements.
"If we engaged Cameroun in war, France would have wiped us out. We tried to liaise with the Chinese and the Russians, but America made it point blank that where the British stands that is where they stand.
We were ready to table it before the Security Council, but they were not ready to take it.''
The former governor said after the ICJ judgement, Obasanjo tried to remedy the situation by seeking protection from Britain and United States, but they were not ready to assist.
The other day, I was talking to a Nigerian friend of mine, who did not even know that the French had played a major role in that war… see how we (Africans) barely know our history? He was telling me about the Igbo, Haussa, and Yoruba, and forgot that the French were the ones supplying guns to the Biafrans for the war…
The Biafran war is similar to the Angolan or Mozambique wars or so many other wars in Africa, where many of the strings were pulled by external forces while the African puppets danced on the scene and got killed from the ignorance, and greed of their own leaders.
