Nigerians, including other Africans, are accusing France that since France was chased out of the Sahel states, France has started using Nigeria as their headquarters to destabilize countries on the continent of Africa. Based on this information, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to France to reassess its moves by engaging in peaceful dialogue to redeem its image. It was also alleged that in the northern part of Nigeria, terrorists are being trained there, supported by France to carry out attacks on countries in Africa, which, in our opinion, is not a good image for France as a democratic nation. We would also use this opportunity to call on France to stop such deceitful games because if the next democratic leader who is going to be elected in Nigeria finds out that France is supporting terrorists in the country, that leader may get hard on France and possibly ask France to leave Nigeria completely. We know that the present leadership of Nigeria romances with France so much, but it may not be the same if another leader comes into office. So France should tread carefully by being transparent in all its dealings with Nigeria and other African countries. Again, the way it is now, many African countries do not want to see or have anything to do with France. But France can change such negative views by working nicely with Nigeria to end insecurity in the country. If other African countries see that France has started doing a good job in Nigeria, perhaps it could soften their minds to consider working with France again. The issue is trust; African countries do not trust France anymore. Hence, we are calling on France to start all over by redeeming its lost image on the continent of Africa. It would be dangerous if France continued supporting terrorists as alleged, to destabilize Africa. France should stop such deceitful games and begin to make peace with African countries if it truly wants to have their position back as friends of Africa.
