i.m.f. and world bank and using loans and structural adjustment programs you know and those kind of things and also aid you know the manipulation by aid still with this colonial white supremacy idea that africa needed to be civilized but only different types of. terminology like you know good governance in democracy and human rights and all those kind of things and then dangling that way aid in support in those ways but now increasingly we see the u.s. africa command which was established in two thousand and eight by the bush administration and then after two thousand and two those seven but the obama administration came in and really pulling for a to africa all over. africa common establishment of military bases in africa during this was not the first military base bases but what africa did was formalize these military bases increased them like you know by one thousand nine hundred percent increase in military bases across the. the continent of africa or at least u.s. presidents as you say across the continent of africa and then there are in terms of military bases there are about forty some

i.m.f. and the world bank we're going to continue for so we need more investment the most important thing i think the bill that recognizes now is that we need the private sector to grow we basically say the private sector over the next decade needs to be ten to fifteen times larger to really make a dent in unemployment and poverty in nigeria and that means every sector of the oil sector we've got things like entertainment got i.c.t. we've got to manufacture and agriculture but we also have the biggest sector that needs to grow in nigeria's real estate everyone needs a place to live we have a deficit of seventeen million holes in the great thing about real estate is that it employs a lot of people particularly carpenters plumbers labor is it really absorbs that young population so we need every sector to work we also need develop across the country so legace is doing relatively well in nigeria but that's not enough we need six seven big bowls of economic prosperity we need to development in the rural areas as well is that the need for the african market to stop tradings. with itself how woul

i've noted but it but i couldn't believe it was still going on that the world bank president gets picked by the u.s. and the i.m.f. president i guess gets picked by europe i mean how's that working out well bart the world bank was founded in one thousand nine hundred four the u.s. was the largest shareholder back then with thirty five percent so the original deal was that the united states would pick a president of the world bank let me just note that this year that percentage of stock from the you owned by the u.s. fell just shy of sixteen percent so the agreement i mean times are different now but the agreement did say the u.s. would pick the president for the world bank and the european countries would make their choice for the international monetary fund now i want to say the long term standing norm is is just that the u.s. still holds the number one spot in voting power followed by japan china germany france the u.k. and then india but the u.s. also has been a major donor all know not although not there are other dominant powers of put a lot of money into the world bank and this includes so the u.s. that was
