Why France Kidnapped West Africa’s Eco Currency by dre11(m): 8:06am On Dec 28, 2019 |
Last Saturday, France, through the instrumentality of their most faithful poodle in West Africa, Alasane Ouattara, kidnapped the West African currency that was to be launched next year for the 15 countries in the region. In a press conference in Abidjan, Presidents Macron and Ouattara announced that the 8 West African countries using the CFA Franc currency would adopt the Eco as their new currency next year. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/why-france-kidnapped-west-africas-eco-currency.html 24 Likes 6 Shares

Our main problem is perpetual stooge we have subjected ourselves to in the hands of the so-called Great Britain, the world's renown parasite. Since the beginning of the insurgency, France has played major roles in curbing their activities with less efforts from the british people. Some of french doctors ( Doctors without Borders) were abducted and even killed by boko haram. The last time I checked, a British court slammed a huge sum which could deplete our foreign reserves overnight as penalty or damages in the case of P and ID. France would never have allowed this injustice to be done to any of their colonies I think our leaders, both past and present are selfish. Immediately after independence, we have failed to adopt french as a second official language, sticking only to english. In Europe, hardly would you find a country who doesn't speak English, including france though they have always preferred speaking their language. I was in Germany some years back and there I met a guy at the airport. I asked him for a direction to where I was going as a taxi guy but he pretended as if he didn't understand English. Later he came to meet me and began speaking fluently...and that's the way an average german behaves. They mould not like speaking english but the majority of them understand and speak well. Being bi-lingual as a nation brings about even and speedy development. If you speak my language, I'd deal with you in all eagerness and fairness...its normal but the reverse is the case with British. They are haters and unwilling to help especially in an area where they feel they can't see anything to eat from. Our politicians loaded their banks with looted money from Nigeria and they're busy doing business with it, which was why OBJ called Cameron the then british PM thief and he looked at baba in the face but couldn't say anything after obj gave reasons for calling him that. Whenever our country makes any move to bring the money back home, they come up with stiff conditions which would cause our country parting away almost half of the money. I hope the French language learned in most private schools is sustained. We need to break this jinx of one language which is english. Hardly would you visit a francophone country and see learned people who do not understand English and that's where they have an edge overseas over us...in football clubs, in schools, fashion or show biz and wherever they find themselves...they always thrive and adapt easily. Whereas, their anglophone counterparts would have to enrol in a french school to pick up. Amazingly, french and Spanish are very similar so anybody from a fanconphone country can easily understand Spanish when spoken. It brings about ease of doing business internationally without barriers. The ECO issue wouldn't have been there in the first place, had our government adopted French language from day one in our public schools as a second official language for the sake of economic integration of our region . This is why I've always faulted the amalgamation of 1914, which we are now finding difficult to repeal even years after it's expiry. All the franco phone countries in west Africa put together, are not up to the Nigerian population but are far better in development than we are as a nation. They are well-organised with less issues of insecurity and corruption. The amalgamation was put there by the British to keep enslaving us. I hope this is repealed someday. 114 Likes 12 Shares |

like the guy above rightly said, they are in it for their pockets. all the gold that was mined from south Africa where is it? all the elephant tusk or ivory from cote d ivoire where are they? all the rubber, cocoa, groundnut, oilpalm and so on from old 1970s Nigeria where are they? I heard burnaboy singing about how the royal Niger company now know as Unilever sold Africa. they are all the same both France and Britain, likes of likes, no difference, Benin museum was plundered, they stole the artifacts there, Egyptian mummies were stolen and kept inside the British museum, so nothing concerns them save their own interest, not even apartheid or restructuring or anything, despite being heavily criticized, the British still maintain and have a say in south Africa's governance up till now. they don't like us but anytime we have problems, we run to them. I give kudos to Robert Mugabe, he gave them a run for their money, don't forget after Muammar Gaddafi has died and toppled, up till now their is no peace in Libya, now we have insurgency also in Nigeria. I watched an episode in the TV series strike back where Conrad Knox was talking about how the British bought the whole Africa. Like the Ghanaians usually say that we are just plenty in Nigeria, plenty for nothing and they are right. Britain is not even as big as Nigeria, in terms of population or land mass or resources, human or natural, and evrybidy is speaking English, they are ruling the world. if you want to enslave a man, don't bind him with chains and flog him with leather whip, BRAINWASH HIM!!! 110 Likes 6 Shares |

Good for us. For an economically un-prosperous region, I have never really seen the benefit of the so called economic community. Perhaps, this move will make Nigeria finally abandon the unrealistic aims and forge better individual pacts with better economies in the continent like Kenya, Angola and Ethiopia. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

True talk France is still practicing her rule by assimilation, their footballers, celebs are Africans but are not allowed to remember their root, they believe Nigeria is a threat to their west Africa domination... well I wasn’t surprised when French soldiers ID card was found in Boko haram camp They disintegrated west African so much, only 5 countries writing waec, railways link all Europeans country together except Britain, USA, Canada, Mexico has trade agreement, you can’t do anything without your neighboring countries but here in Africa, reverse is the case, AU is just an acronym and nothing else, you know why they can’t mess with China, Chinese has the population, they have their own version of WhatsApp and Instagram, what they don’t want We have the population too (400 million), a single rail line should link all west African countries together and see how fast we develop, all these are not brain science, Chinese did it, singerporian did it, even UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, we can do it too I believe there’s no limit to what we can achieve if we are united Africa unite, one country can’t do this alone I’ll end this with bob Marley’s song Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Nigeria can not adopt ECO as long as France mints and controls the Treasury. If the Federal Government is Smart, they will allow us to collaborate with China and mint prototypical exacts of the ECO Currency and get into these Francophone slave colonies and exchange them with Euro and bring back Euro to build our country. We need to flood their system with excessive ECO until they get hyper-inflation and increase taxes to mop up excess liquidity while we enjoy. This is what Iran and China does to countries who think they are smart. 61 Likes 5 Shares |

France has been the one running importation business in disguise all these while, importing cars , rice and other items into Nigeria via Benin Republic , and now that Nigeria has shut the door the French has taken up the fight against Nigeria using west African currency as a tool to control Nigeria economy , to suffocate Naira and get Nigeria to spend the French controlled currency without being part of the deal. now west African nations can not do international business with Eco without going through French central bank . 42 Likes 4 Shares |

Yet, most of you yell "conspiracy theory" when told that white people are not done enslaving Africa. Shouldn't the national will of the Francophone African countries be how to liberate themselves from the grip of France on their CFA? How is it that people who said they're educated can easily switch from one slave system to another? This's why I've lost respect for anybody on the African continent because I see nobody to respect. There's nobody living and thinking on the African continent at this time. Can't the ECO be pegged on gold price or the Chinese Yen or even the South African Rand? Why always Europe, the same people known to enslave and exploit us? Europeans would never want development in Africa. The only thing they can do and they've always done is exploit, exploit exploit. This's why they killed Muamah Gadahdfi once he began talking seriously about a continental African currency pegged on gold. It would have definitely given us some financial freedom, so they killed him. When will people wake up on this continent? We will continue to be enslaved until we do one thing. If we ever want to be completely free from white people, we must go back to our native language, use it to acquire knowledge, and believe in our God. This's the only way to DISCONNECT ourselves from white people and stop creating perpetual slaves out of ourselves. Isn't this enough reason for we Africans to come to our senses? 49 Likes 8 Shares |
