I've worked extensively in E.G. And can say from personal experience that the family running this country has the intellectual capacity of a peanut. Imagine the guy who spends 4K on spinner rims and puts them on a 300 dollar car. They spend millions and millions on infrastructure that's not used. They've built thousands of housing units that are unused. If you've ever driven down Malabo 2 you'll see a bunch of high rise buildings that look like they'd be in a modern western city. They're all practically empty and needlessly "high rises". See, the president wanted the appearance of a modern civilized city so he mandated anyone doing business in his country had to have a headquarters and he mandated these tall buildings so the building is a shell of a 12 story building but only one floor. They have freaking toll booths. Yea, toll booths that charge maybe 20 cents. They've built this boardwalk on the water that looks like something in a modern tourist city but it stays empty. I keep reading how they want to have a big tourism industry. Lol, try to visit. If your not there for Hess, Marathon, baker Hughes, or some oil company or the monkey watchers from Drexel U then you'll get kicked out. I could go on and on but the bottom line is you have a bunch of nit wit savages who came into a bunch of money and they're incapable of managing it for the good of the citizens of there country. They claim they do but trust me, they're a bunch of thugs. This is why France has an international arrest warrant for the presidents son, the Vice President. These people are the thugs who won the oil lottery and are doing everything they can to blow it. One last thing, the president is so paranoid and hated that once o was working on his compound while he was out for his morning walk. He didn't walk back, his security detail (mostly polish, Jewish security guys) picked him up in cars and brought him back to the palace. I was unable to proceed down the road to where I was working until he passed. I noticed all of the E.G. military guys turned there backs to him as he passed. I later learned that if they didn't they could have been shot. See, there all armed and half the time drunk. The belief is that if they are looking toward the president they have a better chance of shooting him. So the spec ops guys who's his personal body gourds don't allow it. Ridiculous, his on people can't guard him, he hires out to former soldiers from other countries. The world will be better when these POS's are dead.
Nothing to do with hate, he/she's just telling the crude truth as we all equstoguineans know and live in our day to day life. He/she just said something that proves he/she's real: for those who doubt, just come and see it yourselves. We're all living with fear here because that who dares to talk to westerns about the truth hereby, will put his/her life in danger. We need help. Please help us.
joe,I hate to say you are narrow minded. The president and the people of Equatorial guinea are preparing for the feature. The buildings you are referring to May be unoccupied at present,who knows what will happen five, ten or fifteen years from now. I definitely agreed with you that the President of Eq. Guinea did things in the past that are quite detrimental to his people and to the development of the country. As you can see, I believe the President has turned around and things are beginning to change. Few years from now, may be you yourself will be surprised.
Equatorial Guinea is improving and heading to the right direction. Although it's a small nation, it hosted African cup of Nations twice, and All African Games which is bigger sport venue will be held there 2019. They should improve and make their local language as an official language. There's really nothing positive to gain from Spanish and Portuguese languages other than an easy access of exploitation and creation of chaos between your own people. It already happened in Equatorial Guinea ( mid 1970s) and it will happen again. A good example is how Rwanda got rid of the French language as an Official language after its genocide, and suddenly it has become one of the most stable and prosperous nation in the continent of Africa.
A positive statement by people living in EG who don't dare say anything to antagonize the ruling family. It could cost them their life to say anything negative. The country is totally corrupt with the oil revenue going to a few people and the rest living in poverty.
Equatorial Guinea is an amazing country the economy is growing but its just sad to see that they made European languages their official languages why don't they use their native languages officially
The Spanish and Portuguese are the worst colonisers because they change the inhabitants names to Spanish or Portuguese. Where is their African ancestry names, so sad.
maybe in south america but not in EG. do you think OBIANG NGUEMA MBASOGO sounds european? i dont think so. and EG is not the only african country with an european language as the official one. how about nigeria, ghana etc?
Hate the haters,There is not a single European language that Africans can't speak. Never again will Africans sign contracts written in languages we don't understand. Africans were manipulated before to signing contracts with European invaders and ended up losing lands. Speaking European languages is one way to prevent what happened in the past from happening again.
Great that you guys are investing in all these sectors.... the only thing I see as a issue is that you are using the languages of these ex-colonizers... this makes it very easy for them to come back and take control of people and set up businesses etc. Every black nation should give up English/Portuguese/Spanish/French and only teach KiSwahili. Let that be the language of Africans... if ousiders want to do business with us then THEY have to learn our language. Language is meant to be used as a barrier to entry.
But at the same time these languages make it easy for European/american contries and companies to invest in the contry as the allready speak the languages they speak. Allso in my contry English is becoming more and more commond and it's estemated by about 2100 that the official language in my contry will be english
Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl I agree with that, but China managed to bring direct foreign investments by building special economic zones and PPP. So while there is few companies that are owned by foreigners.... the vast of the China's wealth and ownership is in their hands. That's the sort of way Africans need to do things. Good chat. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Pero qué diferencia a Guinea Ecuatorial de hoy, de la que yo conocí hace 42 años - De pobreza extrema a ejemplar prosperidad - Sí, me quedé maravillado, muy encantado cuando regresé a este maravilloso país, 42 años, después de haber sido arrestado en la prisión de la playa A la derecha de una frágil piroga de Santo Tomé, con la que tenía intención de atravesar el océano atlántico hacia Brasil, evocando la antigua morena, al mando del entonces dictador Macias Nguema: no por haber cometido ningún crimen sino por los simples hechos de haber aportado, a bordo de una frágil piroga de Santo Tomé, De la esclavitud, a lo largo de la corriente ecuatorial - Pero, para infelicidad mía, cuando fui a bordo de un pesquero junto a la Isla de Año Bueno, donde tenia rumbo al oeste, siguiendo la corriente ecuatorial, a remos ya la vela, evocando la ruta La ruta de la esclavitud, un violento tornado me hizo perder casi todos mis alimentos y mi rudimentario equipo, acabando por ser arrastrado, 38 días después, hasta una remota bahía de Bococo, en la Isla de Bioko - De la debilidad, fui tomado por espía y envuelta en una celda de alta seguridad en la prisión de la Playa Negra - Pero gracias a Dios que el entonces, comandante Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, sobrino de Macias, creyó en mis palabras cuando me mandó llamar a su gabinete Y, contrariando las órdenes de su tío, me devolvió a la libertad - Sí, doy gracias a Dios por su benevolencia y generosidad, deseándole muchos años de vida para que continúe al frente de los destinos de esta noble nación, que sus enemigos a El sol del gran capitalismo internacional, quieren codiciar a través de falsos opositores a sueldo de sus intereses para convertirla en las ruinas de un Irak o Libia y de que sepan a sus riquezas naturales.
Looks like the Spanish masters are firmly in control of Equatorial Guineau and the Chinese aren't far behind. The government needs to educate it's people so that they don't have to constantly rely on outsiders to do everything for them. Train your own petroleum engineers and doctors and accountants and teachers. Another thing I noted is that all three official languages are European; Spanish, French and Portuguese. Have Guineans no pride in their African heritage? Why isn't Fang an official language?
Equatorial Guinea has about 6 - 7 different tribes none of this tribes is allow to effort others speak Fang, Bubi, Annobones, etc..that's why Spanish is the official language of La Republica De Gui_Ecua..;and the question about WHY we have Europeans Languages as officials are mainly BUSINESS THINGS... To communicate with our Nigerian brothers we need/must speak ENGLISH; the same with Sao Tome & Principe OR Angola...we need PORTUGUESE...You feel us now??
Nice to hear about the progress in Equatorial Guinea, God blesses this nation.
I am so proud of Equatorial Guinea and the Leadership. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, please take note.
Obi Yang? Are you kidding me?
Teodoro Nguema is a leader to be proud of? LOL!
I'm from the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC but my ancestry are from Equatorial Guinea and Congo! one day I would love to visit both country.
Nah, you are from Portugal.
none of my ancestry are from Portugal: i'm Haitian and Dominican and proud....... even though my ancestry are from there.
Richard Martinez Sorry to have to break it to you, unless your people are black - they are most likely form Europe/Portugal/Spain etc.
Man if you feel African, you are welcome. No one should tell you otherwise.
C. Lincoln what part of usa i can find people from equatorial guinea
Guinea, que El Senor te bendiga, especialmente sus hijos, en su marcha hacia un futuro prospero. Siga a/delante. Y vaya con Dios y la I Virgen.
This is how Equatorial Guinea has managed to escape the Dutch economy!

Stop being naive.
You don't build something to use 5 years down the road. Are you a moron or are you so brainwashed you can't tell fact from fiction.
Anyone else here from geography now
yep yep
I am
Ésto es poco, las cámaras no llegaron a todas partes, mejor que lo visiten... Éste es mi hermoso país.
Muy bonito hermano saludos

No they are not , about 80% of the black people live in poverty. The ruling class in Guinea are pocketing the money from the oil boom for themselves
A positive statement by people living in EG who don't dare say anything to antagonize the ruling family. It could cost them their life to say anything negative. The country is totally corrupt with the oil revenue going to a few people and the rest living in poverty.
And those few people being the ruling family and the well-connected.
Thanks. :)
Very interesting information.

Do your home work real well

Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl Ownership should be mainly African. Not foreign owners.
C. Lincoln I agree in that, but to get the contry developed other contries and companies is needed to bring the money to the contry
Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl I agree with that, but China managed to bring direct foreign investments by building special economic zones and PPP. So while there is few companies that are owned by foreigners.... the vast of the China's wealth and ownership is in their hands.
That's the sort of way Africans need to do things.
Good chat. Enjoy the rest of your day.
C. Lincoln I fully agree with you, have a great day too. Like talking to people that don't start screaming racist comments and other irrelevant stuff.
Good job

Is there true democracy in equatorial Guinea
LOL.
Is there true democracy in the world?
Seriously, how much did he pay you for this? 😂😂😂😂
I laughed till I farted.

LOL. You know it's the Nguemas in control of Equatorial Guinea, right?
Looks like China to me!
Equitorial Guinea, gateway to Africa? dreaming, under a dictator? but not close to Ghana
Gateway to kleptocracy with impunity.
First.
LULA 2022 💪
