        If you think Africans so ignorant to the extent that they will care less about the atrocities that the French gov't is inflicting on Africa just because u try to speak Pidgin, then think mr Macron. The youngsters of Africa aren't as naive as those old politicians that u control.

        The only people detriment to our growth as a continent right now are the francophones. They're still under economic colonization by France and most aren't aware, or just don't care so far they can move to France

        "Mosquito does not like games where people clap too much"... If Nigeria fall for this tomorrow your money & natural ressources will be used to sponsor France in the world stage. Say no to 1 currency as long as French speaking countries currencies are still in bed with France.
