US imposed visa bonds (of up to $20,000) on the citizens of 30 of the 52 nations on the African continent. Most Americans who know about this, absolutely love it, those who don't - do not care either way. Any African who can marshal $5,000 - $20,000 - can put the money to better use, by doing business with China. This is just one of the many ways the Trump Administration has told Africans, "we don't f**k with you". It is now easier for the average African business person to get a visa to China, than to get a visa to do anything in the US. I am sorry, you cannot eat your cake and have it - and this trend predates Trump - Americans are increasingly hostile for foreigners - especially Black Africans, Arabs and Muslims - and their Government merely reflects this.

Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, has declined an invitation from United States President Trump to visit the White House. According to the words of Botswana President Boko: “If there is any business or official engagement to discuss, it should take place in Botswana, not abroad. Botswana is tired of traveling abroad for deals that concern its own resources. If there is genuine interest in our resources, come to Botswana so we can talk business. Let us respect the basic principle of commerce: buyers should go to the sellers. If the situation is reversed, then the buyer’s interest is not truly valuable.”

Jane Elliott pointed out the hypocrisy decades ago.

Great analysis. 🎯👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 The conversation isn't about who works harder. It's about history, selection bias, and how narratives get weaponized to divide Africans and African Americans.

Welcome to Atleti, Ademola Lookman! 🇳🇬👋

British colonial administrators believed and openly said that "too many educated Nigerians would destabilize British colonial rule". The education system they developed was designed to produce clerks, primary school teachers and interpreters - not critical thinkers. (Many of us need to read, the information is out there). This got me thinking, whether the contemporary Nigerian elite has similar designs for the Nigerian educational system - without openly saying so.
