Well, 42million isn't shit.

Africa is the richest continent on earth with vast mineral deposit: gold silver oil cooper magnesium iron diamonds. Why do you think that the europeans were so eager to go there and colonize areas. They could remove the natural resources while exploiting the people to remove the mineral for free. Where did the diamonds come from that europe's kings and queens flaunt at the peasants. There are no diamond mines in europe. Alot of items we need to keep industy going comes from Africa even the computer you are on right now.

So you ask why is Africa so poor even after there are no more colonys if I know every thing? Well there are rich people in Africa but only the one that the CIA, French or British let stay in power who approve of the removal of those mineral cheaply. As soon as someone says let charge a fair rate for this shit or let share the weath with the people boom there is a coup and that person/persons is dead then replace by a western puppet who keeps play the game getting rich while millions starve. It is in the western powers interest to keep most of the African counties destabilized and rich with debt in order to cheaply aquire the minerals desired only enriching those who act accordingly.

$42million, hell Nigeria could pump over a million gallons of oil a day. Have you priced oil on the open market recently. Well according to Exxon profit reports there is alot money being made but who is making it you ask. Yes the oil companies who have negotiate lucrative contracts with selective Nigeria's elite to remove the oil. 42million, hell Exxon made 36 billion in the last quater alone there are probable a dozen different companies in Nigeria pumping oil right now. All worried about so called rebels trying to divert this oil from those companies bottom line.

Now that I have open your mind a little, you can go a smoke a bud and stop thinking every one in Africa is dirt poor. But what do I know?
