Agosto Pinochet made Chile what it is. He's worshipped here in Chile. The man literally built Chile from the ground up.

Wow! Learnt another thing about the man.

The only thing I know about him was his brutal regime. But he was tried for human right offences or wasn't he?

Yeah but a lot of market reforms in the 70s were due to him. Salvador Allende was a socialist and if he was allowed to continue, Chile will be like Venezuela or Cuba.

Its crazy

one would think your country is paradise but you still can't figure out electricity in 2023

Touché

But come to think of it, it still amazes me that Nigeria is yet to achieve constant electric power supply in 2023!

Omo God bless Nigerian foods, I will miss our meals if I travel out of the country

It seems I'm the one who won't miss Nigerian foods if I travel. I'm not really a fan of our foods - excess carbs full am.

The only foods I may miss is jollof and fried rice and some stews.

But you see them swallows? Never!

The only swallow I will miss is unripe plantain swallow and that can be made anywhere if unripe plantain is available.

Its why I don't take the patriots serious.

An oil producing country that has no refinery and no constant electricity(a technology built and perfected over a century ago) is the trenchest of trenches and the sh!tiest of sh!ts. Honestly Nigerians are too loud for the failure that we are.
We should be very quiet and very ashamed for the society that we've built with what we were given

A complete disgrace in the League of Nations

So I have a roommate from Germany I just met today. She's studying vertinary medicine at the same university as I am. The German lady doesn't know anything about tech. She said even though I get 30 hours. I can work double that if I want. No one checks that here. Won't take any chances though.

I think one of the reasons Chile is not popular is because Americans don't visit/patronise/talk about the country as often as others. Rather, Europeans are more interested in it. Europeans are not as loud as Americans, partly due to language differences. Since the world consumes English-oriented content, those with native fluency tend to be the loudest/most vocal on the Internet. Additionally, many Europeans are more directly related to Chileans, Argentines and Uruguayans than Americans.

If not, I don't see why Americans would always scream about South Korea and Japan when Chile is nearby, and Spanish is easier to grasp than Korean/Japanese. Fine, the Americans would argue they want to experience a totally different culture from theirs. Another reason why Europeans are more interested in Chile than South Korea, they prefer to stick to what they know.

Many don't know this, and even when they relocate, they are still arrogantly ignorant. That was how one came here to mock Ukrainians because they migrate a lot to Germany to search for jobs. But he, as a black African, did not migrate to Senegal to search for jobs. Today, Ukraine is fighting a war, and her citizens are well-catered for by their white brothers. But let Nigeria fight Niger, and let's who will help anyone from either side.

Americans are very loud people, but they are rich. Nigerians are too poor to be arrogant and ignorant. A loud set of people who are unintelligent and fantastically poor! That is a terrible combo.
