Black men and their idiocy!! All that the white men needed to have done was pack their loads and get out of Africa!

Come to think of it, the land belonged to Equatorial Guineans from origin to say the least so why sign any documents to take back what was originally theirs? The entire independence shenanigan and it's continual remembrance is to me the greatest demonstration of idiocy on the part of the black race!!

The birth of tyranny & backwardness.
Bloody colonialists giving them documents to sign for official independence as of when they took over they gave documents to sign for official colonisation.
The most egregious example of resource rental and kleptocratic leadership devoid of any personal dignity equatorial Guinea's oil revenues are more than sufficient to make it a developed first world country, yet the ruling regime has done nothing to develop the country internally. Instead, they waste their billions on lavishly living abroad, which the foreign governments inevitably seize as the proceeds of corruption. All we need to do is compare Equatorial Guinea do any of the gulf Arab states and see the difference in what a sense of personal dignity does to a leader. What good is it to live lavishly abroad when your own country is a hellhole.
