“The countries in Africa are so prosperous and well run. We could learn much from them.”
Well we can learn from Nigeria, at least, that if you’re going to run a Ponzi scheme, you shouldn’t cut off the legs of it.
The Nigerians are an industrious group. Just put an ad on craigslist and you’ll immediately get emails from them asking you to agree to take delivery of their BMW that is being shipped to the states. In return for your efforts they will forward you a check for $20,000 which they want you to deposit to your checking account and you can keep $5,000 of it for yourself.
Good deal. Not.
Hey, Nigeria in a few decades will be another Moslem cesspool after they finish killing off millions of Christians.
Nigeria once had a lot of promise as the British tried their best to make its independence a peaceful and well-structed one. Biafra showed how tribalism and religion made this impossible. Oil has continued this disaster as has Islamic jihadism.
750 million Nigerians would be a disaster for not only Africa, but the world as a whole.
