| Abstract: | This article aims to explore the manner in which the metropolitan powers have sought to take advantage of the divisions between the newly independent states of West Africa to reform and strengthen the patterns of economic domination established in the era of out-right colonialism. This examination will seek, first, to indicate the nature of the economic ties which exist; and, second, to review, the role of the foreign private firms which, despite the attainment of political independence, are continuing and even expanding their dominant position in the commercial sectors of the separate West African States.
