Dencia criticizes ongoing US-Africa summit in D.C, calls it useless

Singer Dencia is one of the few people who does not approve of the US-Africa Summit currently going on in Washington D.C, which is focusing on trade and investment in Africa. GEJ, other African Heads of State and plenty Nigerian celebs are in D.C for the summit but Dencia thinks it's useless and of no benefit to Africa. Continue to read her thoughts on the matter and tell us if you agree with her...

    2. Life without CHRIST is an empty life ***********************************The world is nearing its expiring date,because of its abuse by people. Sin has become d order of the day. People don't see anything wrong in doing evil, lot of heart of men are stony. The Gospel of JESUS CHRIST is the power of GOD to save. lib readers please u guys need to be born again. Am enjoying success in CHRIST JESUS, am reigning in life. Wow!what a glorious life I have, I can't fail in life, I have power over the circumstances of life. I have heaven inside of me,am an ambassador of God here on earth. Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world. My dear people,U need to have a relationship with CHRIST to enjoy what am enjoying, I can't be sick,I can't fail,I can't be broke,I can't be afraid. dear lib people including linda, JESUS loves u all and HE wants to give u guys eternal life, just confess HIM as ur LORD and SAVIOUR, believe in your heart that HE died for ur sins, ask him to come into ur life and be d LORD of your life, say from to day I am born again, I have eternal life in me,I am saved. If u pray this prayer with all ur heart congratulation u are saved. Get a bible,study it daily and pray. Attend a living church and participated in the church activities.

    3. I completely agree wit her in this case. I was watching president Obama make promises that favoured investors not african because when they come into africa like they did before they will take over every resource and leave only 10% if we are lucky for us to share. If they truely av d interest of africa at hand they shld av first done d submit in an african country. Then dey would state clearly the investment of interests and how they plan to recycle the dividends to develop africa and its people. Fellow africans all this submit reminds me is the repeatation of history. The british did theirs n succeeded nw america wants to tow d same path. Africans should learn from asians particularly d chinese. I pray we wake up before we drown.

    1. This lady has shown how ignorant and uneducated she is. There's nothing wrong with African heads of states going to the US for an investment summit. African heads of states wouldn't be the first to have undertaken such trips in the past. Heads of governments from south America and Asia have all gone for such trips in the past. Even the US presidents and business leaders in the country have visited some of these African countries in the past for investments. Besides, he who plays the piper dictates the tune. African leaders needs investments in their various economies by business leaders that have the money. And where are those business leaders? They are in the western world. If you need them, you go to them and explain why they need to invest in your country. That's the way it works and not the other way round. I believe this lay is so naive to understand the fact that these African leaders are not just meeting Obama, that they're going to meet American business leaders as well. Furthermore, many of these African countries depends on aids from the western world to survive. America, for example, do budget a lot of money every year for aids to impoverished countries. Now tell me what is wrong with the heads of these countries government going on a summit for investment in the US?

      Her take on the serum that the cdc sent to Africa for the American doctors, is a classic case of ignorance. It is a shame that this lady that lives in the US doesn't even know the processes drugs undergo before being certified by fda for commercial purposes. Had she taken out a little bit of her time to read the story by Dr Gupta on cnn, she would have found out that the serum has not even undergone clinical trials and that it is still a long way from being approved for public consumption. It was just a leap of faith by the doctors in agreeing to be administered with the drugs that had only been tested on monkeys. I thought that the efforts by the company in the US should have elicited commendation from all men and women of good will. Instead, the ignorants are having a field day criticizing another nation for trying to find a cure to a disease that is so far away from the US. Had it been that the US tried these serum of Africans and something went wrong, this lady and her inks would be the ones criticizing them for using Africans as guinea pigs.

      I believe that all these ignorant vituperations on tweeter stems from the fact that she was ignored as being relevant to the progress of africa, hence, was not invited to the summit, while many of her colleagues were invited. In essense, she's jealous!

    1. For the ignorant fool tweeting against the summit, read this:

      WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is announcing $14 billion in commitments by U.S. businesses to invest in the continent of Africa.

      Obama plans to make the announcement Tuesday at the U.S.-Africa Business Forum in Washington. The forum is bringing together African heads of state and American business leaders to find ways to boost economic ties. It comes on the second day of a U.S.-Africa summit involving nearly 50 African heads of state.

      The White House says the investments include industries like construction, banking, information technology and energy.

      Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker are also participating in the forum, along with companies like Chevron, IBM and Mastercard.

      Obama plans to host the heads of state for dinner on the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday evening.

  6. I share her view too but in a different light.Sensible presidents from african countries refused attending the meeting coz their country is threatened by Ebola.Our own president who obviously doesn't care about fresh air in Nigeria flew to US to attend the meeting with all the inherent expenses.Ebola & BH are threatening Africa and Nigeria,why can't the summit be about them?

    2. Thank you anon 22:25, the point about the serum was totally pointless, if only people take there time to educate themselves. She trying to score point with that only ended up sounding ignorant. The serum was a chance the us could only take with there own citizen. What would v happened if it was tested on an African and he or she dies,she would be screaming they used an Africa for experiment

  14. I agree with her, we all know GEJ isn't going to implement anything useful for the average Nigerian youth to benefit from. Most businesses don't thrive in Nigeria due to the instability in all the sectors, GEJ should fix that first before going to another continent to talk about trade and investment

    ReplyDelete
  15. I agree with her on this one. We Africans still have the problem of mental slavery, and that is why we keep running to these foreign countries cos we think they are better than us and that we need them. But the truth is, they are the ones that need us.

    We are the one with the Gold and Diamonds...we are the ones with the crude oil, the cash crops, and rich agriculture. They wouldn't survive a month without trading with Africa. Of cos we need them too for their technological advancements and all that, but we shouldn't belittle ourselves in their eyes. We can become great without running to them for advise all the time.

    This is why Americans hated Ghadafi. He was a visionary, and a self reliant African leader who believed Africa could grow to greatness with unity. He hardly bowed to the western world the way other African countries do, and the white men saw him as a threat.

  21. Dencia, have you invested in your cuntry?...no need shooting bullets, we are all aware that most African leaders dont have the interest of their people or their nations at heart but still. if you choose to be an advocate of proper "rules of engagement/leadership" kindly pick up the mantle and run for public office. You cant be in the States benefiting from the the basic ammenities. Have you tried opening a "whitenicious" factory back home or something of the sort, charity they say begins at home. Yes our leaders are messed up, but its high time we stop talking and start acting. if not for us for the generations after us

    (GEJ)spokesman. May the good Lord deliver us from the evil men and women who rule this country.

    Pusillanimous attitude toward BH, indexed reduction in investment in education and health, 25% of our income spent on 600+ people in the House of assembly and we spend millions investing in the American tourist industry by holding a stupid pointless summit in the US.

  48. the very first time in history of my knowing this girl her write-up would make so much sense. Seriously she's making sense, what kind of investment are they going for when Ebola is consuming your people and you believe anybody can come to your country to invest with Ebola everywhere. And when you truly estimated the cost of all the presidents together with their entourages (is in the record that Africa presidents fly with the highest numbers of entourage e.g. our president GEJ)you will realised that they have massively invest in US economy just withing a week. #thereisgodoooo

  74. The serum is a good point! Whether it worked or not, it shows how much effort America is putting into taking care of their citizens. In that little time they have gone as far as creating a serum that "might" work and the fact that they channeled their resources to "fly" the serum to Africa for those doctors show that the people are number 1 to them. They didn't spend the money flying for a summit in Africa when they have dying citizens

  77. Two points here:

    What annoys me most is when Africans living in Diaspora feel the need to scream & shout on social media. Dencia have you invested in Africa?! I remember you screamed that the health minister can't arrest you for your bleaching cream because you don't sell it here. Abeg park one side. You cannot be benefitting from America and be criticizing it like you just did. Pack your stuff and move to Africa where you can make all the changes and stop flexing muscle over internet.

    Second point which others have touched on. African's are bunch of hypocrites! If the Americans test it on an African and he/she dies that is wahala o! So abeg let the PATRIOTIC Americans who can die for their country in a heat beat test it on their own. All of you screaming which one of you can die for an African county eh? Abeg park well!

  78. I'm not a fan of Dencia but she's quite right. Come to think of it, I don't see this Ebola as a natural virus other than a well cultured virus that was release to the African populace so that we can run back to them for antidote. Why do you think OS have patches? Is it not for us to be buying everytime. Nonsense!

  80. i do agree with her 100 percent. but we Africans and Nigerians can help our selves too, because waiting for the federal govt, is like waiting forever.there are little things we forget, agriculture is very helpful but we neglect it. A whole Nigeria imports food, look at all the grassland. Nigerians are saying no work no work, i guess we can pick up a cutlass to farm, i dnt mind doing it. evry body wants to become doctor , lawyer at the end which food we go chop. I dont want to digress but if Nigerians put hands together to cultivate our society will get better.

  88. Now, everybody said she made sense in her short notes. She lives in the US and not in Africa. If she could be that useful what is she doing in the US?
