  Blacks and African in general are their own worst enemy. Can someone please tell me how many Africans or even blacks that have companies like dangote all over Africa ? How many ? What we have is European, American , Chinese and even Indians multi national all over Africa yet Ghanians prefer that just because most don't like or I should rather say envious of Nigerians. Look at Ghana , all the investment profits by forengners like Chinese and Europeans are sent back to develop their respective continent. A recent Al jazera programme on Ghana decribed us as a very poor impoverished downtrodden country yet we hate other Africans that looks like you to invest in your own continent. Whom do you think has the best interest of your country at heart ? Dangote or the Chinese or the European ???? I for once like some of my colleague admires Nigerians so much as they are investing heavily in Africa competing with foreigners. So many of their companies are multi national all over Africa meanwhile, our so called business men like Kennedy agyapong are on national TV trading insults calling people thieves. We are really a bunch of jokers! We claims to be the first in this and first in that yet we are still so far behind so many African countries. GOD will help Africa

  We Africans have been brainwashed for so long to dislike other Africans it has now become part of our genetic makeup. The Europeans and Arabs did this on purpose so they could determine the course of history. Religion and language are two imports that have held us captives in our own homes. We have long gone past the point of no return to get the black man to love himself first before anyone else. It would take a cataclysmic event to reverse this trend I'm sorry to say!

  it's high time we started taking a second look at what investment in a country really meant. is investment in a country directed at helping the country or milking the country dry? due to unfavorable terms of trade, so investors end up becoming profiteers rather helping the host country grow in like manner. someone should ask dangote if the new government's policies reduced his profit margin or caused him to operate at loss.

  WE AFRICANS ARE A NATURALLY PRIMITIVE TRIBAL LOT DIVIDED, THEN COBBLED TOGETHER BY EUROPEAN COLONIALISTS INTO INVOLUNTARY NATIONS. OUR GENES FOR TRIBALISM ARE OVERWHELMINGLY DOMINANT OVER GENES FOR DEMOCRACY, NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM & THE LIKE. EVEN WITH THE SAME TRIBE WE HAVE INTRA-TRIBAL FEUDS E.G. BROTHERS AGAINST EACH OTHER OR COUSINS/ NEPHEWS ETC. IN COMPLEX CONFLICTS!!! YOU BET DANGOTE WOULD'VE BEEN TREATED DIFFERENTLY & FAR BETTER HE & THE PRESIDENT BELONGED TO THE SAME TRIBAL BROTHERHOOD!!! ASSHOLE PRESIDENT!!!
