In Opposition To The "why Africans Starve" Post On The Home Page

Someone posted this article on the NL home page:

I will say up front, that I only read the first 3 paragraphs. I was too angry to continue.  So if the author has taken care of what I am about to say below, I will gladly retract.

I ask the poster:  how does this question of Why "Africans" starve affect Nigeria (where at best, only large corporations actually pay tax as thanks to oil revenue, taxation isn't as transparent as in say, western nations), or even south africa.  Perhaps the author of that article should have been more specific?

Don't fall into that trap o, especially if you are in Nigeria.  To oyibo (and unfortunately a growing number of naijans in the US), Africa is one big country where what happens in timbuktu is a reflection of what happens in Abuja.  Nothing good is to come out of it (maybe except slaves).

Ok, I am waiting for your response
