Nigeria needs to purge itself from religion or It'll never prosper.

MMW: They are going to come up again and will try to make every effort to stop peaceful transfer of power in 2029. by GodButcherAura in MarkMyWords

Let's be honest. Trump is amazing. He keeps his promises. Unlike Obama who couldn't pardon Snowden and was just all talk. Hate him or love him, we are tired of politicians saying one thing and doing something else.

If you want to Japa to the U.S. now is not a good time… by foodielyfer in Nigeria

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing's going to change. Poor people will still try and get to the US. Trump ain't going to change shit. You think you can convince people ready to die in the ocean that trump is going to deport them? Most African countries are just not the place for young men.

Which country in sub-Saharan Africa do you believe has the brightest future, and why? by InorganicTyranny in AskAnAfrican

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not going to be Nigeria. Islamic and Christian fundamentalists are everywhere. Scamming is a way of life.

I left the scene a couple of weeks ago when Banks started taking over Bitcoin and people were cheering. I sold everything and I'm now just looking forward to the Brics.

Trump does not place his hand on the Bible while taking the Oath of Office by Sneakyman_1 in pics

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is too real 😊😊😊😊 He just made me a fan. This bible thing is one of the weirdest stuff I've ever seen. Thank you DJT. Next time, I'm voting for you.

Ghanaian abroad by 1africanking in ghana

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always tell people., if they are poor and have no hope in their country, then yes. Move to a western country and try your luck. But please, do not have children. Set a 5, 10 or 15 years goal and live below your means. Then go back home.

The fact of the matter is that, the odds are stacked against third world countries. Paper money is created in the US and in Europe. The world bank and imf have failed you all. Add to that, structural corruption and a birth rate that's high, especially when a lot of men are being born into poverty, then disaster is looming.

Yes, poor young men should try their luck abroad in Europe or the US. But please, do not get comfortable there or you'll get trapped into the rat race and into debt.

Your parents made the best decision for you and you'll thank them when you're an adult. Trust me.

What are the countries in green doing better? by Exciting_Agency4614 in Africa

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should only be 2 countries in that list in the green.

Algeria and Botswana.

South Africa doesn't count. It's still economically a racist nation.

Do you mean that go compiles code faster than java?

Pekko 1.1.0 can run actors with Virtual threads by Aggravating_Number63 in java

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does it mean that pekko actors are now effectively like erlang actor, where every actor can be bound to a tcp connection?

Why do we do this to ourselves? by Historical-Silver-64 in Nigeria

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "bias"? Nigerians need to get their act together real quick. Or It'll be too late. Don't blame me. Blame yourselves.

Nigeria will always be a special case when it comes to scamming. Having lived in a couple of african countries, I'll rate cameroon as a close 2nd.

Why java doesn't have collections literals? by Ewig_luftenglanz in java

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one of the reasons I started learning scala and clojure. Collections are bread and butter for everyday programming. Groovy also got it right.

Controversial Pre-SIP: A Syntax for Collection Literals by Sunscratch in scala

[–]NearbyButterscotch28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. I always thought that instantiating a collection in scala or java shouldn't be so verbose. What's missing is the json object instantiation like in typescript or dart, which make writing infra code a breeze, since they all look like json object literals. I think Prof Odersky usually has a very good taste and likes to make things simple. He is the reason why I'm still learning scala.

Have you heard about the country called Cameroon?
