Dumb neggas I would rather starve and rat trash or die than stoop to this. Do these negga leaders even understand what independence means? I remeber I had a job interview. I have an African name and the recruiter emailed me and made the stupid mistake to spell my name in small caps but ended spelling hers properly. I never even bothered to respond to her. Can you imagine working for this manager? These national leaders are dictators addicted to power that's why they continue to entertain this slavery behavior from France. A transparent leader who respects the rule of law and democracy will gain the utmost respect and loyalty of their people by voting for them. Look at Cameroon that foolishbleader will die as president and handover. Paul biya is hated by his people

These countries must stand up for themselves by forming a Union.They don't need France in anyway.France has sway over them because of the greedy elites who want to maintain a certain lifestyle and image of self glorification.

How stupid can those colonial-tax-paying nations could be?
The French knows the level of foolishness and stupidity of our greedy and selfish leaders and has taken full advantage of it.
How about the natural resources that France plundered from those African lands?
It is utterly sickening to learn about such exploitative arrangements whilst we claim to have ECOWAS, AU, etc.,etc.

So these countries maintain the economy of France and the lifestyle of the French at the expense of their citizens. By the way they do the same to Haiti too.This is the main reason AU and Ecowas will never be fully implement. When these potentially rich countries leave France will lose a lot of free money.
We need to educate them.

Who agreed to such a high Penalty of 85% for these poor countries? Blame these African dictators who in the long run pocket the proceeds with wicked France.

Sadly, this colonial tax formed part of the conditions for independence. In addition, France maintains a military base in all these countries. Hence, they are able to pull resources and overthrow any leader who does not comply.
Amy person who wants to run for president in these countries too, must have a political sponsor in France and must visit Paris for approval before contesting elections.

Guinea is NOT among them.
It is rather Guinea Bissau that voluntarily joined the French neo-colonial club even though it wasn't a French colony.

We always read this unreasonable assertions, particularly from the Anglophone West Africans to defend their ailing economies. We should ask ourselves how an independent country can contribute more than 80% of its income to another country. The writers should be asked to prove their assertion. They write these claims because the Francs CFA of the Francophone countries which was originally connected to the French Francs and now the Euro has in contrast to the Nigerian Naira and the Ghanaian Cedi remained stable over the years due to the pooling of reserves of those countries and the conditions introduced for the management of their central banks like the cap on their budget deficits. Instead of looking for solutions to implement a common currency, we the Anglophones are just attacking France. I challenge the writers to produce the facts and evidence.
