Hahah France24 strikes again.This time encouraging Niger Delta militants to fight for their right to equity in resource sharing.

When is France going to leave Africa alone. Conialism ended 60 years ago. They already make $500 billion in colonial taxes levied on 14 francophone

countries. These countries also domicile their foreign dollar reserves in French treasury. These countries are not legally allowed to withdraw up to 60% of their own money annually. The French use this money to trade in the stock/forex market..

..make billions of dollars in profit. None of this profit go to the impoverished African states. They are not even aware their foreign receives are traded. Apparently this not enough.

They need Uranium from Niger Republic

..I have to admit I didn't make much of it, until I discovered that 70% of the electricity generated in France come from nuclear power plants. SEVENTY PERCENT !! That's more than China and the U.S combined.

Yet Niger suffers from chronic electricity shortages and rely on

Nigeria, but their resources powers one of the most developed nations in the world. In 65 years Paris has done nothing to improve the infrastructure of these countries. Not a single kilometre of road built in any francophone state since they attained "in"dependence".

All they do is provide weapons to autocratic regimes (in servitude to Paris) to help them subjugate their people and suppress any pro democracy forces. No surprise francophone countries are the least developed in Africa. And when out of pity and goodwill Nigeria attempts to

..set these countries free from perpetual economic servitude with the Single Currency Project "ECO". An initiative that will see their currency tied to Nigerian currency, and of course, under no scenario will Nigeria domicile its currency in French banks. This will mean an end

..to the ridiculous colonial taxes levied on these countries. Not only will they finally have control over their economy, they will have unfettered assess to Africa's biggest economy, second largest foreign reserve and the largest consumer market.

Acting quickly, French President Emmanual Macron flew to francophone West Africa's biggest economy- Ivory Coast and somehow persuaded the Ivorian President to peg the ECO to the CFA. What's worse this announcement was made with the French President standing by his side.

..him in a show of support. This singular act of foreign meddling and betrayal effectively killed the ECOWAS Single Currency Project.

However you can only stretch a rubber band so far before it eventually snaps back with force. We've witnessed a wave of anti-French sentiments

..and a desire for self determination. Not since the days of colonialism has francophone countries being this assertive in their demand. The record breaking four palace coups within an eight month period has done nothing to stem the tide of a people demanding REAL INDEPENDENCE.

Paris blames Nigeria for this. Boko Haram and ISWAP have been unable to bring this African behemoth Nigeria to its knees and "hopefully" spark an all out civil war.

Instead it resulted in unintended consequence. It forced Nigeria to rebuild and modernize its armed forces on a scale that is without precedence. Going from zero to becoming one of the most sophisticated fighting force in Africa.

So the Boko Haram we all knew basically no longer exists, with ISWAP incorporating most of the fighters. Unfortunately for ISWAP this development is coming at the peak of Nigeria's force modernization and modification of operational tactics to match the reality in the ground.

It's been terrible for ISWAP. In a short period they lost 4 field commanders and two logistics commanders. The replacement commander was killed 48 hours into his new job. In a nutshell the hope of Nigeria fragmenting under the yoke of internal strife, like Libya is DEAD.

It is stunned seeing a European TV News Channel, FRANCE 24 talking about the "marginalized people of the Niger Delta"? Tacitly urging them to fight for their rights.
