She is entirely correct. The west has done this to many nations, including those on the continents of Asia, Africa, and South America. It is terrible that so much suffering has occurred in these nations. Many people, including myself and my family, migrate to the west in search of a better life, as a result of the allure of the west's glitz and splendor; however, the west is also characterized by a strong slave mentality. There's the 1% of the wealthy, and the rest of us slaves who work day and night to pay our bills. A large percent of our income is taxed to support infrastructure at home but we're also funding wars abroad. It's really sick what's happening. There is enough food to go around. No child should be dying because he or she has no food, especially if their country is being raped of their natural resources.

Steve you have done an excellent interview of our African Queen. You really set the scenario for her response in an African point view. France has been part of all French colonies underdevelopment and destabilization of North East of Nigeria by funding and arming boko haram all in a bid to continue exploiting Africa. If Africa wants to develop it must surrender to France. The military take over is not by itself the solution to the problem if they also will pursue the same agenda as the civilian governments romancing with France while they loot Africa. The military must seek for knowledge to govern with patriotism and decency to improve the quality of life of their citizens. To achieve that, the military leaders must collaborate with civilian professionals in each and every field to design policies and programs supported by well laid out financial management of their respective nation’s economies. Anything bereft that is just a waste of energy. Corruption is the main sickness of most or almost all African leaders and their cronies. If a lid is not placed on corruption the emancipation of Africa and it’s people will be very difficult. It’s not lack of resources or sources of revenue in Africa but the cheer scale of corruption perpetrated by its leaders and their cronies is the cause of their underdevelopment. This corruption is not only peculiar to former French colonies but it applied to all the remaining African countries. Unless leaders in Africa change their attitude towards greed /corruption and instill financial discipline and decorum, what is currently happening in the former French colonies will definitely happen to them and the citizens will support and rejoice their overthrow. Therefore, it’s high time everyone African leader should readjust themselves to work and improved the quality of life of their respective citizens. The unfortunate thing is that the corruption of politicians doesn’t know bounds and shame. In addition to looting the national treasury, they fill every space available for employment with their relatives and that of their wives leaving the children of the poor masses unemployed. This singular act will definitely breed resentment and add fuel to what encourages revolution among the people. It’s appropriate to take caution and listen to voices of reason and start sitting up serve their country with passion and patriotism.

Let's not talk about Nigeria and Africa in South Africas borders. You are far worse than the west as your own brothers hate you more than us!

[@emmanuelhabte4672]

Ambassador I really appreciated for standup for African people in administration of Managing Africa❤❤❤❤

[@zelalemlefitih2462]

We want more African politicians just like this brilliant minded woman!! Hats off Mama!!

[@Qwach]

Sorry sir, this one comes across more as a leader and not a politician.

[@matthewogben7971]

I love this woman, her boldness and sincerity. We need more of her in Africa.

[@SenialabGaming]

I'm lost for words. I mention this several years ago in college and so many individuals gave me the side eye for mentioning the disproportionate amount of resources generated and sold to western cultures at dirt cheap levels. This is very powerful to hear other people mention and see how the people of Africa are getting exploited by other countries.

[@Inercycl1]

"not every general means well for the people". This is the biggest takeaway from this ostensibly noble woman. Ghana's own experience from 1979 tells us. Great content.

[@snownfire]

Either way, US days in Africa are numbered. They've meddled too much to be liked again.

[@alecpato9310]

A very powerful revolutionary woman has spoken ❤ Africa deserves to thrive!

[@kubaebo6930]

Thank you ma Arikana, you singlehandedly have been saying this for a long time, initially no body listened to you but you persevered , now you have educated the young , you have high lighted all that is wrong, people all over the world can see the injustice. Your effort is beginning to bear fruit but you must continue.

[@ruhiyaal-hassan1173]

Thank you Dr Arikana for standing up to African people. You are a great African leader.❤

[@AbiaSaloise]

You are now finally speaking to the right African. this great woman was born in Zimbabwe, but we call her mama Africa. love from Namibia.

[@kiyongaibrahim1676]

African countries should redefine their strategies and priorities when working with the west and other foreign powers . Thanks Dr Arikana.true African ✊

[@numinuecooper9975]

If it was left with me, I wouldn't want Africans to do any kinds of business with any of them. They've killed Africans , destroyed our continent, and they are stealing from Africa to entrenched themselves. No no more dealing with any of the same old colonizers.

[@MIrkif]

An eye opening interview. This Lady is very sharp and on point. I like her.

[@sulaymankeita6054]

We called it enough is enough ✌️ United Africa 🌍 💪

[@Issavibe3]

I love how she was laughing everytime she spoke about the west 😂

[@fitsumserke2584]

Well said, Madam. I hope all African leaders wake up and understand very well, May God bless AFRICA, and we all back to our country live peacefully.

[@kennedyrichards5444]

"We don't need aid. We need trade." A true and profound statement. Fair trade, and none interference in African internal affairs.

[@Qadhafi03]

"Children of the same Mother fighting for their breast milk" what a pertinent mantra for the African people across all African countries. Kudos "mother of Africa". May you live long and long to see the fruits of your messages. Aluta Continua

[@SolomonGongar]

Well spoken mother may God almighty bless you for speaking the truth.

[@t.kayoung5304]

Thank you Queen Arikana Chihombori Quao.. A genius in her own right. You can interview her even in her sleep, the vision remains the same, because she is true to her self, people and Continent. So she has taken time to educate her self over the years down the line

[@kaizen9554]

I’m a 6 foot masculine adult man but believe me when I say that I shed tears listening at the level of deprivation and exploitation by France. Such wickedness.

[@adeabaarmah2259]

This woman is a woman of its kind and being a Ghanaian in glad she's married to Ghanaian and I hope they have children that would follow their foot-steps. This is a powerful knowledgeable and fearless woman of our continent and generation. May God continue to protect her and her entire family. Now God bless Africa and God bless our homeland Ghana 🇬🇭 and make our nation great and strong...

[@mechukaleb4699]

Dr. Arikana is my favourite politician and activist with great personality ...

[@armiyojackson4284]

All the western enterprises must first leave Africa completely then negociate one on one to do business with each other fairly across the board with honesty and respect.

[@shhadoethugautonomy8519]

Oh yeah it's because I heard Africa got them toys now baby thug life style they gonna recognise this time we can do the same thing they can do now plus Ukraine showed us they weak lol 😂 Putin had them NATO guns as trophies lol 😂

This is the only true solution.

[@geoffreybarry6769]

AL Jazeera has always been the most balanced and accommodating news station around. The cable companies conspired with certain government entities to block access in terms of viewership.

[@sweethopeglobal]

Am 27 and when the lady speaks...she makes me feel angry for what is happening and makes me sad for the generation after independence they failed us and their fore father who fought for indipedence....I will support Pan-African❤ love from kenya
