    1. Hi Abdulmeen, instead of exporting them why not research and find out how you can turn them into finish products. You see, when the Westerners buy raw materials from us (Africa) they transform them into finished products then we the Africans go back and buy the finished products at a higher price from them. Thereby, making things expensive which many citizens cannot afford. We need to start producing and stop importing and consuming. Let’s turn the table the around.

  1. what else do we want in south and west that’s making us fool ourself under the Northern people
    who has nothing valuable to boost the country than to kill Nigerian people like chicks
    let the Yoruba leader think and act fast. we can stand on our own

  2. As a Student and an undergraduate in urban and regional planning I thank God for this site it helps a lot

  3. Thank you Mother Africa for moringa and African Black Soap with Shea Butter. Your beauty is astounding.
