To my ear it sure sounds like you don't think the Nigerians don't bear much
resonsibility for themselves and from my point of view that opinion is
rascist. Why should I hold the Nigerians to less of a standard than I hold
myself and my own countrymen? They don't seem to have problems like this in
Texas and certainly not in California. If you don't live as man in your own
country who do you have to blame but yourself? Arete? Duty to Self? Some
things are worth dying for, some things are worth killing for, and some
things are worth moving for.
Sincerely,
