Africans got the "civil rights mentality" worse than Jesse Jackson. They are forever sittin' around waiting on someone to save them - the white man or the yellow man - it don't make a particular difference.GHANA said...
We have Chinese here in Ghana, and they come with millions of USD of investment.... the Telecom, Oil, and Mining MNC's control the world, not just Africa,... so it's either we use the West for some of our development projects or China, India etc... It's how that investment is managed that counts... not whether they are Chinese or not.We are going to sell our resources anyway aren't we?
@ IWonderAsIWanderthe .... perhaps you need to travel a bit in Africa, and see the great things Africans are achieving, before you make such a sweeping statement based on one article.
It's easy to sit at your 9 to 5 job and make simplistic statements about Africans. There is a big pool of educated, professional and competent Africans, working to undo the years of damage due to colonialism, civil wars, economic oppression, mismanagement etc And we are succeeding... as they say in Ghana " small small catch monkey" I can assure you that the Chinese are made to operate within the laws and Investment codes of Ghana, and we do not hesitate to bring to book any Chinese National who does not operate within the confines of Ghanaian law!

Ghana,
I do not speak from ignorance. I have been all over Africa, including several months in Accra and Kumasi. I love Africa. But it is undeniable that Africans look to be "saved" by Europeans or Asians. It's so basic it's almost not even worth debating.
You must speak from ignorance,if you have been all over Africa.... unless you are so far removed from the psyche of the African that you you have no way of understanding it.
You are right that its not worth debating, because as an African woman I can tell you that we are "saving" ourselves, the question is are you?
