The Great The Honorable Nana Amos Wilson once said, sometimes he wished The Creator Nyame=Amun/Amen did not bless “Africa” with soo much natural wealth and resources so that it will force us to use our brains and our minds to develop our selves.

The Great The Honorable Nana Amos Wilson is always warning us that, true wealth is not what is underneath your ground, true wealth is what is in your brains, what is in your mind.

The same thing was happening to Niger during the height of Niger jihadist insurgency attacks in the Sahel.
The French government was supplying Islamic jihadist the latest military equipments to destabilize the area of one of the largest uranium mines in the world.
The French government had control of one of the largest uranium mines in the world in Niger and they were getting this valuable uranium deposit for dirt cheap in Niger.
France was paying the uranium in Niger for 0.80 euros (US$.80) per kilogram (kg) and selling it on the market for 200 euros (US$213.6) per kilogram. That is 0.80 cents. France was paying 0.80 cents for the uranium in Niger and then turn around and sell Niger’s uranium to European countries for over $200.00 dollars, $300.00 or more.
And in order for France to keep this one sided lucrative business deal they had with pro-France puppet leaders in Niger, they had to constantly keep that area of Niger in a constant Islamic jihadist attack mode to keep the local Nigerien people from occupying that territory. France had to keep that part of the Sahel in a destabilized state.
That is why France was soo quick to use military force against the military coup leaders who ousted the pro-France government regime in Niger.
Niger having control of their own uranium and uranium mines, have negatively affected France economy for the foreseeable future.
