Thank you, Femi. You gave me a better understanding of the godawful persistence of colonialism among African states. As I enlighten myself with reading I have come to believe that Neo-colonialsm operates freely. Your writing confirms my suspicions. Organizations like ECOWAS seem to reinforce neocolonialism not independence. Security arrangements with NATO and the US only serve those two parasitic parties. Again, thank you.

Once again, I thank you for reading my articles, and also for giving me your feedback.

As you might have noticed, I have more questions than answers.

I do what any African with brains should do: ask questions about how one of the world’s most resource rich continent remain the poster child of global poverty. Africans should also ask themselves why the persistent belief that salvation will only come from foreign saviors!

Will the West force Christianity and democracy on Africans if they were such great tools of development?

I don’t see them imposing their science and engineering and technology on the continent with the same evangelical zeal as they do IMF impositions!
