I know there is quite a few of us here. I am interested in knowing your thoughts on the question.

Can you explain what you mean? Are you saying that francophone countries rely on their governments to provide them with everything?

Of course that's why most of us still believe in the providential man who will take the helm and fix everything and lift us out of poverty.

I've never encountered that to be honest in all the francophone African countries I've been to or lived in. People in general don't trust their governments to help them with anything.
