Import tarriffs raised can be used to strengthen the border for instance , resulting in more local manpower getting higher wages.
Problem is, America does not have the skilled local humanpower to do those jobs and earn those higher wages, and would need to open borders to import it.

And I hate when a Nigerian cos you find yourself abroad now uses " that country". His or kits and kin are in Nigeria while he or she communicates and visits " that country "as he or she likes.
Imagine an Indian saying that country cos he has an American passport. Shior.
That is the highest level of low self esteem by Nigerians abroad. They are the ones that change their accents immediately they enter plane for the first time.
You see dome abroad with names like yours snd speak your language, they will tell you" sorry, I don't know what you are talking about". Record have it the person is not up to 3 months abroad.
Nigerians.
Don't you also hate when some stupid people call Nigeria a zoo?

Whenever I hear them, all I think is they themselves and their kit and kin must be caged zoo animals with zero self esteem.

passing through multiple interviews and aptitude tests or being head hunted is the same way they earned their degrees in the university - which as you have already stated is by bottom power and bribing their way into employment. did you even read what you just wrote at all? a person will first bribe hr to get them to the interview. then bribe the manager who will interview them - then bribe the head of department, then bribe the ceo in the final interview. i really have to wonder EXACTLY what working experience and exposure you had in nigeria .
They must also bribe the work itself to do the work, the rate he is going.

Thankfully, the majority of Nigerians are not that dumb, and know that leaving education to states would only increase alimanjeris.
I read the above again and laughed to myself.

The problems in Nigeria are actually because the funding of education has been left to states, though, thankfully, the curriculum hasn't or it would be much worse than it is.

In my own local government in Osun State, a secondary school has a principal and a vice principal, and all the 'teachers' are cheap federal funded untrained corpers who think sleeping with under 16s is a fringe benefit of being posted to a place so rural.

This is a consequence of states, and local governments, not properly funding the education and paying for trained teachers.

We do have private schools of course, but there is the minor issue of fees that limit those who can pay for their children to go there. And the consequence is those who can, leave to go further their study elsewhere and leave the alimanjeris behind. And today, we have a drug problem that is blighting the community, as alimanjeris can't do work.

She supported abortions, obviously. IbeOkehie is however trying to make it sound like she was promoting the extermination of blacks, which is very not true.

Her speech to the kkk was to promote abortion to those in attendance, and I very much doubt there were blacks there, though considering they might have all been covered in white blankets, that might be debatable by some.

The people in the North have a right to pursue Boko Haram or whatever ideology they wish. It's not for Igbo or Yoruba people to dictate to them how to live their lives. How is it the business of other tribes or regions whether Northerners choose to embrace education?
Thankfully, Nigeria and its federal government do not agree that the "North have a right to pursue Boko Haram or whatever ideology they wish", and make it the "business of other tribes or regions whether Northerners choose to embrace education".

Ti ara ile ẹni ba n jẹ kokoro ti ko sunwon ti a ko ba so fun; howuhowu re ko nii je ka sun l'oru. "If someone in your household is eating harmful food and you don't tell them, their cry at night will keep stop you being able to sleep at night".

If we don't make their education our business, they'd create no jobs in their region and start killing themselves due to hunger, and then migrate down to where you live and start killing you because they have not been educated to do the work that needs doing. Or what did you think the constant wailing about Fulani was all about?

You don't just concern yourself because of them, but because of what they'd end up doing to you if you don't.

Could you please stop personalizing the discussion? It's irritating. It's doesn't encourage a good faith discussion.

Thanks.
Your view and opinion is unfortunately personal. Even when you present evidence, your understanding of said evidence is personal to you and can't be avoided, unfortunately. And the only reason I actually choose to respond to you more than most is to point out your personal bias in hope you'd notice and be corrected.

Why would you claim federal government funded education is bad and creates ill educated individuals, and then claim you went to a federal funded university, but expect one not to think what your federal funded education might have done to you?

Can you not see the obvious connections that could be made especially when you present your bias and claim to be neutral?

If you want a good faith discussion, perhaps start by monitoring your biases better instead of hoping they are not obvious and glaring.

This is not a thread for gaslighting.

Anyone can search the internet and find out. Planned Parenthood know Margaret Sanger was a well known eugenicist or whatever that believed that Negroes should be wiped out and advocated abortion as a means to promote that genocide.
The fact Carson is quoted everywhere does not prove your point. He after all is far less credible than NPR.

The facts do not show that more black people per 1000 had abortions at planned parenthood than whites, and what she said was to try to promote abortions amongst blacks, who were having more children than they could feed.

https://time.com/4081760/margaret-sanger-history-eugenics/

Its obvious more whites in general would have aborted than blacks just by the mere fact there are more whites than blacks, so I do wonder why you don't accuse Margaret Sanger of trying to exterminate and wipe out the white race.

You clearly have a very narrow understanding of socialism. Should I blame the Federal university you went to, or the fact you perhaps didn't pay attention like your more successful colleagues did?

Some people say it takes a village to raise a child, implying the pulling together of resources. We Yorubas say, agbajo ọwọ ni gbe ẹrù de ori. But go read up on Kibbutzim. It might help you understand why the Nazis were jealous of the Jews.

The Federal Ministry of Education in Nigeria should also be abolished.

The States or even counties should handle education. Government funded education in general but especially at the national level, has done more harm than good.
The Federal Ministry of Education should be abolished in Nigeria, a country where some states and county equivalents would like to impose boko haram?

I guess I'm beginning to fully understand your "God bless Nigeria". What you really mean is "Nigerians, sit on your lazy ignorant asses and wait for God to bless you instead of you exercising the sweat of your own brows to bless yourselves".

Thankfully, the majority of Nigerians are not that dumb, and know that leaving education to states would only increase alimanjeris.

2) I'm completely neutral on abortion. The fact is that Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger as an organization to wipe out Black Americans. It's right there on the Planned Parenthood website.
You are going to continue repeating this lie regardless what anyone says, and you wouldn't take responsibility for your very narrow maga sort of misunderstanding.

The article you referenced states how her own mother suffered from excessive child birth, but I'm sure that's because she was black too, right?

Fact is, uneducated black and white Americans were more likely not to use birth control (which was scarcely available at the time), and have more children whom they couldn't feed or educate, and which perpetuated poverty, but I guess that's far too complex for you to consider.
