On both the positive and negative fronts, Nigeria is to Africa what America is to the world.
On the positive side, we're the Giant and the Tech Hub of Africa, blessed with diverse mineral resources scattered around the country. Other African governments look to us for policies (which is why they're all thieves).
America is the Money Hub of the world, controlling the global financial system. They possess various mineral resources, and their policies have worldwide effects.
On the flip side, we face a high rate of jobless youths, underpaid workers, poor citizens, and locals not benefiting from their resources. There's also excessive spending on frivolous things, promoting infidelity if enough money is available, leading to a facade of suffering and smiling.
America struggles with homelessness and drug addiction, albeit not often showcased in the news. They grapple with a significant debt problem, printing trillions to fund conflicts in places like Ukraine and Gaza. There's a culture where platforms like OnlyFans gain popularity, and poverty is prevalent among Americans, exacerbating their daunting debt issues.
Both countries experience migration problems, with citizens leaving. A Gallup poll from January 2019 revealed that 16% of Americans, including 40% of women under 30, expressed a desire to leave the United States. Similarly, a survey by Phillips Consulting indicates that over half (52%) of Nigerian professionals are considering moving abroad within a year.
Essentially, Nigeria and America are blessed with resources, but their citizens suffer, not benefiting from their lands' riches. This situation persists because both populations have been conditioned to believe that such hardships are the norm.
Lastly, both country needs Bitcoin more than anything.
