“The reason they don’t believe we are from the same African roots. Only one presidential candidate made an effort to personally go figure out how it is done. Retweet if it is your presidential candidate,” – @Saidu_im.
“LifeFunny enough, all 4 counties don’t even consider themselves Africans. They may be physically in Africa, but they identify primarily as Arabs or middle Easterners,” – @LagosNaija.
“Says a lot about Non-Black leadership.” – @GaryG1.
“This is a big lie. I had a colleague in Egypt that complained of power in the suburb of Cairo where he lives.” – @SeeHausaBoy.
“We often get offended when its pointed out that ‘Blacks’ are bad at managing. Compare us to Arabs, Asians, Latinos, Whites ….from clean environments to working public facilities to real development they are all ahead. We cant even maintain and repair colonial infrastructure,” – @tashvis88.
“Nigeria will be added to this list soon. In February, we are laying the foundation for this breakthrough!” – @jerrynwanorim.
“I’m not surprised and that’s one of the reasons why I don’t argue against when they say they are not Africans. They’re ahead of black people in Africa and it’s a painful fact,” – @heisizumichaels.
“All are in North Africa, the only part of Africa with fair skin. Do we just admit that there’s something fundamentally wrong with black people?” – @theObi_OfLagos.
“Botswana is close. We don’t have load shedding issues. Only planned ones once in a long while for maintenance. And a few small places on the border that still get electricity from South Africa,” – @JosephKgangyame.
