Emmanuel Macron’s latest show tangle

(Emmanuel Macron: ... le farain)

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

AFTER French President Emmanuel Macron, le farain, capitulated to the “yellow vest” protesters in the country, it is now time to clean up, to rebuild the expansive infrastructure and other property that the Paris demonstrators have torched, have smashed up, in the past few days…

Q: But where does Macron get the money to fund this huge reconstruction exercise?

A: Well, straight from the special African peoples’ finance reserves lodged in that account in the Paris bank! (see essay at link below):

  1. Hello sir. I trust you are well. I am interested in finding out more about graphic designers that worked on record covers in Nigeria. Especially, Ebele and Chinye who worked on several releases for Philips. Thank you in anticipation. livingstonestudio at gmail dot com
