I really admire the thought process of the President of the AfDB, Africa is being cheated and destroyed! It's our leaders' responsibility to voice out, and take matters seriously to minimize such unfairness.

Of course, companies will not pay more than they have to. But you need to consider, they can rip off African countries only because African leaders are so corrupt that they are giving away their countries wealth for gains to their personal wealth. It is mostly Africans who do the greatest damage to Africa.

Taharka, "How will Africans get power" if their political and business elites continue to help non Africans to steal our resources? Our corrupt and stupid so-called leaders collude with the non Africans to dupe Africa, and whom do you blame?
African politicians and elites give away African resources, which could be used to improve the peoples' lives.
Take Ghana for example, how much shares does the country own in the oil ,and gold being exploited?
Shamefully, we don't own more than 20% in gold and oil combined. The oil and mining companies also use transfer pricing tricks to avoid paying the right amount of taxes.
You want me to blame the white mining companies? Go to Mali and other African countries and see. African officials have invited the Chinese, Koreans, Americans, the Saudis and others to buy up arable lands for commercial farming, thereby displacing the poor peasants from their lands.
Until Africans hold their so-called leaders accountable, Africans will continue to be treated as inferior everywhere we go. Period!
