@Estherdnsa@ChuksEricE You don't know how badly SAP damaged our economy. It was the policy that further entrenched western power and control over our economy.
This coach is not just coaching those kids... He's coaching us all.
What a man!!!
Don't look at other's pace and position focus on your own grind.
There's no first to reach in life. The goal is to be present in the circle of influence
May the universe make it easy for us ๐
@jibreelKhalil Olodo uprising cos wdym 'She embodies the proposition that women can ascend to the highest echelons of political heights & still maintain modesty.' Was she elected? Did she contest to be the first Lady of Gombe State?
๐จ Welcome to the lawless, dangerous, and illegal markets in NYC, where millions and potentially BILLIONS of tax dollars are lost each year. Where criminals arrested for drug dealing, assault, and resisting arrest are set free to commit their crimes once again.
The NYC Council says it loses over $1.7 billion in potential tax revenue. These vendors are primarily illegal migrants from Africa who make $10,000โs of dollars a week TAX FREE.
In a city that wants to "tax the rich" but turns a blind eye to open criminality and fraud, there is a problem. How can women feel safe knowing criminals arrested for assault are set free on the streets?
This isnโt about left or right, itโs about what is against the law. We all work too hard and pay too much in taxes for others to break our laws and defraud the system. Watch and share!
@waheed08516207@rocksinogen I guess you should be in your in your teens or early 20s to say religious tension started during 2023. You don't know history. The quaran supports the imposition of sharia law in a secular state. The imposition of sharia law will have a negative ripple effect on non Muslims
Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.
"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."
This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).
Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.
As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.
@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.
But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
