France’s hypocrisy and Macron’s apology are not acceptable to Africa – Uzoma Ahamefule
France’s hypocrisy and Macron’s apology are not acceptable to Africa – Uzoma Ahamefule
The hypocritical apology by the French President Emmanuel Macron to Africa for the “evil” and the atrocities he said France – like Britain and their other horrible allies – committed against humanity and the people of Africa during the colonial and slave trade era was provoking and unacceptable. Such high level of hypocrisy he demonstrated in that deceitful speech he called “apology” tells the mindset of many western leaders in their dealings with Africa.
Macron knows that the stealing and the exploitation his colonial forefathers forcefully ingrained in Africa as a system of governance for the growth of France were evil and against every known norm and ethics of bilateral relationships and nature. He knows that the injustice and the cruelties have not stopped, and under his leadership he has no plan of stopping what he called evil and apologized for. Therefore, the pomposity at which he delivered his shameless and remorseless apology to Africa was as evil as the evil he tried to condemn – a deception that carries venom that must be monitored closely. In all good conscience, how should one excuse the disrespect and mockery of Africa in that beautiful nonsense he called apology?
The recent military coup in Niger Republic widely stripped naked what could be the remaining cover of the treacherous, unethical and repugnant role of France in Africa that had been – before the coup in Niger – unearthed and exposed by the interviews of the former African Union (AU) Ambassador to the US Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, and by the Prime Minister of Italy Georgia Meloni who lent her voice against the “evil”. Meloni publicly shamed France and Macron’s double standard game in Africa when she told Macron to stop the ongoing exploitation in Africa and free the people to profit from their God’s given natural resources for the development of their countries. She indeed spoke truth to power. While we applaud her for her boldness and frankness, we urge her to put her words into action by helping Africa to pressurize France – and also Britain etc. – to end extended colonial rule in Africa through manipulation of African leaders and show decency and uprightness in dealing with Africa. However, it will be pleasantly surprising if her concerns for the freedom of Africa from the grip of France were out of sincerity and not connected to the struggle of who amongst them outsmarts each other in the second scramble for the control of Africa and her resources by the western world.
The mission of the white man invading Africa 1000s of years ago was to conquer, steal, exploit and occupy the continent for his own development. All his deeds were centered only on what he could get from Africa and how to drain the continent for his sustenance. Everything he brought to Africa was evil and for his selfish interest. Sadly, his mission of exploitation centuries ago still remains the same today. The only change he altered was his strategy.
While we all must condemn military coups, we must as Africans embrace the reality that the gathering of imperialists and the threat of military attack in Niger Republic by France, the US, Britain and their conspiring allies are not for the interest of Africa. These countries have a history of what Macron called “evil” that is still going on in Africa, and wherever they gather on issues concerning Africa like it is currently in Niger Republic is equaled to the Berlin Conference of 1884 where they came together and cruelly Balkanized African territories for their interests. The leaders of these countries have no record of being fair to Africa or showing respect to African leaders – though African leaders have not respected themselves enough. They have never risked their soldiers before for the cause of Africa and there is no evidence that they will gamble that now or waste their resources to fight a war just for the benefit of Africa. No matter how such deception was cooked and presented, believe such illusion to your peril.
As acclaimed lovers of peace, and defenders of democracy and sovereignty in the world, one wonders why they have not attacked Russia in support of Ukraine. Consequently, if they know what justice, freedom of association, democracy and sovereignty means they should allow Niger Republic to freely sort their problems out like they are allowing Russian and Ukraine sort out theirs and genuinely help where and when necessary and if called to do so. There is no controversy that military is not an option for governance in Africa. But, irrespective of how we view it Niger remains a sovereign state and the unfortunate coup d’etat in that country is an internal affair that requires no external intruder for war. Therefore, the US, France, Germany and others should evacuate their military men in Niger as ordered by the junta until normalcy and democratic rule are restored through peaceful negotiations with the help of only African leaders. ECOWAS should resist the pressure and temptation of military action in Niger and should not be deceived by France and the US to risk jeopardizing the security and the peace of the region that are already too precarious. They should be dogmatic and focused. Options of negotiating out the military junta in Niger only lie in dialogue and diplomacy that are applied with wisdom.
That the people of Niger are celebrating the military coup on the streets is solitarily an expression that demonstrates the ugly state of leadership failure in a republic that is the sixth highest producer of uranium in the world but yet ranked the seventh poorest country. France has caused too much havoc in Africa, and the atrocities she committed in Niger made people embrace that coup and see the military as an alternative to democratic rule and a route of escape to liberation and freedom. Succinctly, it does not mean that they do not want democracy, but they are tired of exploitation and rape of their economy by France who takes their resources to develop their own country leaving them in abject poverty without resistance to the evil policies from their leaders. The situation is provocatively unacceptable and the people seem to have reached their limits.
The intruders threatening military attack are simply scared of losing grip of Africa and want to guard all evil interest they have entrenched in a continent that developed them and is sustaining them by every means possible. And for them to be successful in doing this for their maximal benefits, they must hide under a coded name and acceptable phrase like they are trying to do now in Niger Republic under “restoration of peace and protection of democracy in Africa” to lynch the African economy and crucify African nations that say no to them. Meanwhile the uranium in Niger Republic is their target. Aptly, their threat of attack is factually not only for the protection of the oil, uranium, cobalt, platinum, diamonds or gold etc. they have stolen and are still stealing in Congo, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Libya, Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger Republic or in Tanzania etc., and the land they forcefully took in Zimbabwe and South Africa etc., but also for their vampire and draconian military bases in Africa, and the oil pipe lines they are laying from Nigeria through Niger Republic, Uganda through Tanzania and other African countries to their continents.
As soon as events forced the white man to end slave trade and physical colonization also got outdated and overwhelmed by the growing demand for fairness, justice and freedom, he ended apartheid unwillingly. As an imperialist whose greed for African land, human and natural resources was unquenchable, he craftily re-strategized and switched to neocolonialism. With the help of his puppets and kleptocrats as African leaders he sustained his luxury at the expense of Africans and maintained his grip of evil while Africa bleeds.
By hook or by crook the white man must continue to control Africa. His orchestrated neocolonialism policies and manipulation are deceitfully channeled through a well-accepted form of government, democracy. But during elections in any African country he never allows Africans to freely choose who leads them. He supports election riggings, condones brutality and intimidation of voters. So far the end results of elections foist his choice of candidates who will bid his commands the elections are fair enough and acceptable. But when candidates with independent minds who will liberate Africans win, he creates problems. And when the trouble he instigated erupts, he feigns to be innocent and pretends to be a mediator, but he is actually selling his weapons secretly to all factions. He then stays aside and watches them kill each other while he steals their resources.
Africans must understand that France has no plan of setting any African country free, because without Africa and her stolen wealth France will nosedive to a state of mockery. The earlier we accept this fact and brace up for the battle ahead for total emancipation of our people the better for all of us. If Africans had not been united in fighting Britain and their minds alike, and if Nelson Mandela had not made the historical sacrifices he made, perhaps South Africa would still have been under apartheid today. We must always be united in our efforts to completely break the wall of Babylon built against Africans and destroy the chains of mental slavery by imperialists.
Sometime in 2008, the former French President Jacques Chirac emphasized on how the evil his forefathers established in Africa was the oxygen sustaining the high profile life of France. “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third power,” Chirac was quoted to have said. That is a fact. In the contemporary world, France is still holding the economy of 14 African countries to ransom – Cameroon, Niger Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Gabon, Senegal,
Togo, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville and Central African Republic. One cannot understand the kind of apology Macron is giving to Africa on behalf of his forefathers when he is fraudulently taking 500 billion dollars every year from African countries claimed to be poor.
Macron’s forefathers forced 14 African countries to sign a colonial pact that they will put 85% of their foreign reserve into the France Central Bank, and allow them only 15% access to the money, and if they need more they have to borrow it. Put your country’s money into another country’s central bank as a policy, and borrow it! What happened to your own central bank? It was also made to be compulsory that only France will train the military of these 14 African countries, and they cannot buy any military equipment from another country except from France. They equally imposed French on them as their official language. These chains of slavery and many other despicable agreements were what Africans were forced to sign as treaties by France. Where is the African union (AU)? Is one surprised why Africans and their leaders are not respected in the world?
We have not forgotten the role France played not long ago in the killing of Muammar Gadhafi – a man who despite all sanctions, odds and gang-ups from the western world against him built the strongest economy in Africa. His crime and sins were his refusal to allow the western world to influence and control him and to steal the natural resources of the Libyan people like they are doing now.
What crime did Charles Tailor of Liberia commit that was bigger than the atrocities of Tony Blair and George Bush in Iraq? Why was Tailor imprisoned? And why were Bush and Blair who are supposed to be chained in prison move freely on the streets of Washington and London? The answer is simple. Tailor is an African. What was the role of France here?
We have also not forgotten the sanctions against the people of Zimbabwe by the western world. What crime did Zimbabwe commit to attract sanctions? British people went to Zimbabwe colonized, slaved and killed some of the people who resisted them and forcefully took their land. Robert Mugabe came and said no, that was not fair. You cannot come from thousands of miles away and take the ancestral land of Zimbabweans from them. He justly introduced the policy of land retribution. He took some portions of the land and gave them to Zimbabweans and heavens were let loose. How dare him stand up against the command and the evil policy of the British colonist? What was and is still the position of France?
Patriotic Africans reject France and Macron’s apology because it was insincere and treacherous. It is immoral and hypocritical for him to apologize for the evil he claimed his forefathers committed when he is equally not only committing the same evil in various African countries, but he is currently the one navigating the affairs of the same established evil policies from his forefathers that yield the bloody proceeds he is enjoying. If he wants us to accord his apology the respect it is supposed to deserve, he should frankly free African countries and their leaders from the shackles of his forefathers’ colonial policies and stop the instigation of war and killings between Anglophone and Francophone in Cameroon.
Countries like France, Britain, Germany, the US, Portugal and Italy etc. can never genuinely go to war for the benefit of Africa. Consequently, their gathering in Niger Republic now is centered only on what they could get out of the brouhaha, advance their courses of evil and protect their established conduit pipes of exploitation and oppression in Africa. Apart from these, any other reason as why they are so much interested in the coup in Niger cannot stand scrutiny.
ECOWAS and AU leaders should know that we do not want any war in Africa. So, France, Germany and the US must be made by ECOWAS and AU to leave Niger as ordered by the military leaders so that the conflict does not get escalated. We cannot afford to allow countries that have companies that manufacture bombs, guns and bullets etc. to come and help us avoid war. If they stop the war, how will their businesses be able to make profits, pay salaries and taxes in their respective countries? It is an undeniable fact that if they are given any room for intervention, war in Niger will be unavoidable because they will negotiate with both factions on how to sell their weapons unless the status quo of colonial evil and stealing of uranium are maintained. These people are oppressors and they have no good plan for Africa and their presence and help are not needed here. And it so sad and unfortunate that African leaders condone heinous crimes and evil perpetrate in Africa against Africans. It is tragic.
The iniquities of slave trade by colonists, their cruelties of forceful taken Africans away from their homes to strange lands for forceful labor, the stealing of their natural resources, the destruction of their religion and culture, and the apartheid in South Africa sums up the thousands of years of black history of tragedy, torture, brutality, murder, injustice and exploitation etc., that cannot be wiped away by a mere deceitful statement of “sorry” by Macron and France.

Celebrating Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje At 60 By Jimmy Enyeh
Majority of Deltans are unanimous in their submissions that the name of
Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje, a celebrated top civil servant and retired permanent secretary in Delta State Government House has been recorded in the good side of history.
As he clocked 60 today, family members, friends, associates and well wishers have been falling over themselves to pay tribute to a kind hearted and jolly good fellow.
Edwin, a scion of the famous Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, a family noted for producing top bureaucrats and influential public servants.
For 35 years until he retired in January 2024, he added values to Delta State civil service, deepening its positive nuances and was one of the people that nurtured the civil service of the young state upon creation in 1991 to its now enviable heights, setting it along with others on a trajectory that has made it one of the best in the country.
Gbegbaje’s story is far from the proverbial rags-to-riches . He was born into comfort and high society, but suddenly lost his affluent parents in his first and third years at the University of Jos, but with good counsel and guidance of relatives who were bureaucrats, Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje made a career choice that saw him becoming a permanent secretary at 46, a very rare feat in those days.
In an interview conducted three years ago to celebrate his 57 years, he offered a glimpse into his life, challenges and triumph. “I come from the larger Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. We have quite several branches of the genealogical tree. We have the Abesan. The patriarch of the family is Chief Gbegbaje Dasone.
“We have Oloyo Gbegbaje and Ogidi Gbegbaje. My parents were civil servants like myself. My mum was a social welfare officer who rose through the ranks.During the late Ambrose Ali administration in Bendel State, she was appointed permanent secretary. My father was a medical doctor.
“He was the first radiologist in the defunct Bendel State and second in the country. My father was the chief consultant radiologist in Bendel State. I also have an uncle, Mr. K Gbegbaje who was a permanent secretary. When he retired, he became the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission. I have an uncle who was the first Accountant-General of Kwara State. He was in the northern civil service in the 60s.He later became Chairman of National Oil. I am from a family of bureaucrats. I attended Emotan Primary School in Benin.
“I proceeded to Edo College. When I left Edo College, I had the desire to leave Benin. Even when I was admitted into UNIBEN to study Economics and Statistics, I wasn’t enthusiastic. So, I got admission to study Political Science in Jos in 1981. Prof Emovon from UNIBEN was the Vice-Chancellor in Jos at the time. As I was entering, Jos ceased being a campus of the University of Ibadan. I was there from 1981 -1985. I graduated before my 21st birthday.
“Unfortunately, I lost my dad as I was entering the university in 1981. When I was just getting into my third year, I lost my mum.
It wasn’t easy being the eldest among my siblings. In fact, I was encouraged to come for Christmas holiday in Benin without knowing that the evening of my arrival in Benin was the period of my mum’s service of songs.
“I didn’t have an inkling that such a thing had happened. I didn’t even hear that she was ill. I was shocked when I saw canopies in my compound at Ovie Whiskey Avenue close to Ekhewan Campus. A prominent Jos-based businessman from Ughelli encouraged me to visit home for Christmas.
“I graduated in 1985 and taught at a secondary school in Iko-Eket, Cross River State. Just as I was finishing, there were some advertisements for jobs. I didn’t see the one for NNPC early enough.Towards the end of 1988, my uncle who was the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission, said since I couldn’t get a private sector job, I should participate in extended interviews, especially since I had sat for ASCON examination.
“He advised me to start a career in the civil service. By the end of 1988, letters of appointment were out. I wasn’t conscious of the fact that the person who resumes first becomes the senior in service. I didn’t resume early. My uncle said I was supposed to have resumed instead of waiting to resume in the New Year. A few of my friends who were conscious of it had resumed and they became my seniors in service. I resumed on January 3, 1989.
“That was how my career started. We were supposed to come in as administrative officers Grade 7, but at that time there was a decree. So, by the time we came in, we were designated as personnel officers. We were regarded as the special class.
“Upon the creation of Delta State on August 27, 1991, we all had to move to Asaba. In fact, the movement was swift.
We were all not fully prepared for the swift movement. There was a surge of human beings into Asaba with the state creation. A lot of us couldn’t get accommodation in Asaba when we came. In fact, I stayed in Ibusa for nine years. It was when I met my wife that we moved to Asaba. A lot of my colleagues were sleeping in the offices then.
On his retirement, the Delta State governor praised Gbegbaje’s contribution to the growth of the state.
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at the retirement thanks-giving service of Gbegbaje, urged civil servants in the state to emulate his virtues.
Speaking at a grand reception in honour of the celebrant at the Events Centre, Asaba, Governor Oborevwori described Ogidi-Gbegbaje as an intelligent, humble, diligent, transparent, process driven, selfless, accountable and compassionate bureaucrat.
While congratulating the retired Permanent Secretary for his diligent and patriotic service to the state, Oborevwori said Ogidi-Gbegbaje was very helpful in the last seven months of his administration.
According to him, “a lot has been said about Sir Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje and I also have a personal experience about him while I was Speaker and in the last seven months as Governor of Delta State, we have worked very closely and he helped me to settle down quickly.
“Sir Ogidi-Gbegbaje played his role very well, he is diligent in his duties and was always giving good and useful advise wherever he worked.
“Your service to humanity is something worth emulating and I must say that I enjoyed working with you. I congratulate you for 35 years of unblemished and meritorious service to the government and people of Delta State.
“We are going to miss you, the civil service will miss you, the machinery of government will miss you, you are retired but you are not tired, and your service is still needed.
“I want other civil servants to emulate your commitment to duty. So my message to other civil servants is that they should emulate Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje.
“If you look at his journey in the civil service from Bendel to Delta, you see his commitment to duty. Today, he has finished strong and we rejoice with him and his family”.
Chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Information, Professor Sam Oyovbaire, congratulated the celebrant for a successful retirement from service and urged other civil servants to emulate his kind virtues and commitment to duty.
From all indications, Edwin Ogidi-Gbagbaje is worth celebrating, he has touched numerous lives in the last six decades.
At the cusp of his 60th anniversary, the social and the civil service landscapes pulse with milestones he has achieved thus reasserting his worth as a rare force of nature. As family and friends join him in celebrating his 60th birthday, the image that pops into head is that of his genius and the passionate intensity he possesses, literally squizing water from stone as far as the public service is concerned. His brilliant performance as a permanent secretary, Delta State Government House, has earned him another appointment. He is currently the Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pension and has been giving a splendid account of himself.
“In All Life’s Hardships, Keep Your Smile” By Prudent Ludidi
Let’s talk about a powerful tool that can help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence, resilience, and hope. That tool is your smile.
Life can be tough. It can throw us curveballs, test our resolve, and push us to our limits. But in the midst of hardship, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We forget to smile, forget to laugh, and forget to live.
Your smile is more than just a facial expression. It’s a symbol of strength, courage, and determination. It’s a beacon of hope that shines brightly, even in the darkest moments.
When life gets tough, it’s tempting to frown, to cry, or to give up. But I urge you to do the opposite. Smile. Smile through the tears, smile through the pain, and smile through the struggles.
Smiling doesn’t mean you’re ignoring your problems or pretending everything is okay. It means you’re choosing to rise above, to find the silver lining, and to focus on the good.
Your smile has the power to transform your mindset, inspire others, diffuse tension, and heal emotional wounds. It’s a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and fear.
Think about it. When was the last time you smiled? Really smiled? Not just a polite smile or a forced grin, but a genuine, heartwarming smile?
Smiling can:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Boost your mood and energy
Improve your relationships
Increase your resilience
So, how can you keep your smile shining bright, even in the face of adversity?
Find the humor in difficult situations. Laughter is a powerful way to shift your perspective and lighten the load.
Practice gratitude daily. Focus on the good things in your life, no matter how small they may seem.
Surround yourself with positivity. Spend time with people who uplift and support you.
Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and prioritize self-care.
Remember, your smile is contagious. It can light up a room, brighten someone’s day, and change the atmosphere.
In all life’s hardships, keep your smile. It’s a reminder that better days are ahead, that you’re stronger than you think, and that you’re not alone.
Your smile is your superpower. Use it to overcome obstacles, to uplift others, and to create a ripple effect of joy and positivity.
Don’t let life’s challenges steal your smile. Keep shining, keep smiling, and keep pushing forward.
You are stronger than you think.
You are braver than you feel.
And you are capable of overcoming anything that comes your way.
So, smile. Smile with confidence. Smile with courage. Smile with hope!
