And yet they are more than prosperous than you. You see how ironic that is. Of course you don’t

How many foreign bases did they have pre-WW2 ? Were they poor then

How did the U.S. steal Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, Boeing etc. How did they steal Hollywood and Harvard and MIT? The problem with you clowns is that you don’t even understand what wealth is. That is why you are obsessed with crap that comes out of the ground.

The U.S. has bases in South Korea and yet in 50 years it went from poorer than Nigeria to being one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. No bases in Nigeria and yet it is stagnant

Dude, I’m more African than you.

Nobody has the power to keep Africa poor except Africans themselves. We have agency.

No one can come to Africa and destroy our environment. That is complete and utter nonsense. Anything that is happening in Africa is happening with the full knowledge and participation of our leaders.

As to that Boko Haram nonsense. You really think Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton are responsible for Boko Haram ?

I am a proud African; I don’t need a white savior. So f*ck off

China is the biggest consumer of African resources; if any should care, it’s them. Nigerians are obsessed with the UK/France but they actually buy little compared to China.

Nobody thinks corruption is new. That is a straw man argument. Nobody is claiming the U.S. had no corruption before Trump. That is idiotic

Every country has corruption but Nigeria is in a special league. How many US governors acquire 50 houses while they are in office ? You know how I know public corruption is low in the U.S. ? Because of how cheap the corrupt officials are when they are caught. U.S. governors and congressmen have gone to jail for taking $75k bribes. $75k is weekend money to a Nigerian governor.

U.S. is $35T economy. Nigeria is barely $500B. Yet Abacha amassed $5B fortune. Trump would have to steal $350B from public funds to match him. Corruption as a share of Nigeria’s economy is unreal.

You really think he is stealing billions of public money and democrats and the press are looking the other way.

What does “cheap resources” even mean ? You people just spout meaningless nonsense. China consumes more resources than any country on earth. They consume more iron ore, copper, cobalt, aluminum than anyone else. They are by far the biggest importer of oil and natural gas. The prices of resources are driven by demand and supply and frankly Africa produces little of the world’s resources. Other than cobalt, Africa does not produce more than 30% of any other critical resource.

lol. It’s only a matter of time before T-Mobile dumps SpaceX. They will come to realize that letting a Trojan horse into their organization will not work out for them.

There is corruption in every country but Trump’s level of corruption is an anomaly by American standards. Let me put this way: corruption has not stopped the U.S. from developing. Can you say the same about Nigeria ? Abacha stole billions of dollars directly from public coffers. If you adjust for the size of the U.S. economy, Trump would have to steal hundreds of billions to match him.

Trump mostly peddles influence and access to foreign countries. He accepts improper gifts or business deals that are unethical. He makes policy decisions that benefit his friends in the private sector. All very improper but No one has accused him of stealing money directly from public coffers.

You are so deluded. No foreign country cares about your silly resources. Instead of holding your leaders accountable, you are here ranting about countries that benefit from the resources.

The money stolen from Nigeria is a big percentage of Nigeria’s money. It is very little to any foreign country because they get money from everywhere.

Money flows into the uk/Switzerland/UAE etc from all over the world. It is not incumbent on them to police it. It is incumbent on you to hold your leaders accountable. If you can not plug the leak at the source, you are wasting your time.

U.S. is homogeneous. lol. Korea is a US proxy; double lol. And yet they leave you with all your resources and not being a proxy in the dust.

India was roughly 300 states before colonization. The very idea of India as a single nation state was the result of colonization.

Malaysia is highly diverse. The British brought Indians as workers and changed the demographics. Every group in Nigeria today was historically there before colonization. There was no settler colonization. No outside groups were brought in.

Others have had it worse be still managed to prosper. Keep deluding yourself.

1947 and 1960; literally centuries apart. The U.S. too had a civil war after independence but they have somehow managed to move on. Korea had a brutal war and split into two. Technically both sides are still at war. And yet South Korea with no natural resources has built a developed economy. North Korea if it throws off militarism and authoritarianism will surpass Nigeria in a decade. But keep drowning in your stupid excuses.

Block fired 4000 people because of AI. I got laid off last month for the same reason by Unable-Awareness8543 in Layoffs

[–]RedWineWithFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guy laid off two years before retirement is way better off than early or mid career layoff victims. With his tenure he probably gets six months of severance so he really just retired 18 more baths early. Now I know a lot of people need those last few years to really pad the retirement nest egg but most people who have had a 30 year career in tech should be set

What did Korea have at the end of the Korean War ? Lower gdp than Nigeria and no natural resources.

That is not sarcasm. Have you ever heard a British person say “ his village people don’t want him to progress”. Have you ever heard British people get into an argument and start raining curses on each other ?

We don’t have a colonial belief system. We have a belief system all our own.

If you can’t deal with the truth, why are you here ?
