    THIS IS A POSITIVE THING! WE DO NOT NEED EUROPE TO HELP US RECOUP OUR CIVILZED PRACTICES??. "THESE EUROPEANS WERE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT THIS CRIMINALITY INTO AFRICA IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE!!!!!. "WHEN WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR INDEPENDNCE OUR WEALTH IN RESOURCES OUR YOUTHS AND HOW MUCH THEY NEED TO BE EDUCATED' SO THEY CAN TAKE THE FUTURE OF THE CONTINENT EVEN FURTHER". IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL ANTIONS TO MAKE EDUCATION A SERIOUS PRORITY FROM A VERY EARLY AGE WHERE MORALITY EMPOWERMENT IS TAUGHT TO OUR CHILDREN. IT MUST BE LAWS TO ENURE THAT THOSE THAT ENGAGE IN THE HIRIRNG OR PARENTS IN THE PARCTICING OF USING CHILDREN FOR LABOUR BECAUSE OF POVERTY IS PROSECUTED!!! HARSH AS THIS SOUNDS THIS WILL MAKE SURE WE HAVE A STEADY SUPPLY OF GENIUSES FOR THE FUTURE AND A MORALLY SOUND CORRUPT FREE ENVIRONMENT PRESERVATION OF OUR INTEGRITY'.. TOOLS MUST BE GIVEN TO THE WEAKEST TO ENSURE THAT ALL OUR CHILDREN ALL OUR FUTURE SCIENTIST DOCTORS ACADAMIANS ARE GOING IN THE DIRECTION THEY SHOULD BE!!!... WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE ITS ABOUT ALOT OF CATCHUP; " PROCRASTINATION IS THE KILLER OF TIME"

    The EU has never been pro-Africa. They only mind advancing their policies that will ultimately Europeanize the African fabric. The rich Murdoch's have been apprehended but then they fail to control poor countries? They r selectively keeping us underdeveloped coz they know that aid won't be of any benefit but will simply be recycled for African leaders to do their bidding principle of which is to further exploit the weak. This might not have been so sinister if they were not the key propagators of the prevailing status-quo. Their evil schemes however only serve to kill their own economies as the dependence on their economies becomes unbearable while more resource reserves r spared in Africa. Greed is killing the European economies and ultimately they will have to devise plans to reduce the African population when they no longer hold the bargaining chips given new pragmatic players on the global scene. We have no need for their monetary Aid coz even they know its used to maintain underdevelopment by killing idealism in Africa and propagating Despotism. Whether they want it or not they will fail coz of their insincerity.
