In all, there are about 110,000 people in Sweden from the African continent. Besides Somalia, they also come from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Morocco, Egypt, Gambia, and Nigeria. Ethiopians make up the largest group. There are about 18,000 ethnic Ethiopians in Sweden. There are about 5,000 Gambians and a near equal number of Nigerians.
In 2016, close to 1.2 million people in Canada reported being Black.
In 20 years, the Black population has doubled in size, going from 573,860 persons in 1996 to 1,198,540 persons in 2016.
The Black population now accounts for 3.5% of Canada's total population and 15.6% of the population defined as a visible minority.

The hateful responses in this thread are from oyinbos that make it a point to devote time, energy, and money to injecting our discussions and spaces with their racist fantasies. There are no black people sitting around anywhere fixated on what oyinbos are doing, thinking, and discussing, nor do we devote time, energy, and money to injecting racism into their discussions.

Ask yourself, is this industry and hobby of racist propaganda the action of a group of people who are capable, secure, attractive, smart, charming, or any other quality that would make someone worth anything?

Oyinbos are pathetic, hideous losers. They have only managed to achieve anything through theft and extreme oppression, whether other races or their own. They have likely held all of human civilization back by millennia because they want to sabotage others and maintain their pathetic existence and false sense of achievement.

One thing i can't forget about mud houses is the natural cool temperature as if it has a coolant embedded somewhere inside, no matter how hot the weather is.
"High density materials such as concrete, brick, tiles, earth and water require a lot of heat to increase in temperature. They also lose heat slowly and are referred to as having high thermal mass."

No man should be seen being this nice to any Nigerian girl. It's foolishness! No Nigerian girl can cross a gutter for you no matter how she loves you. These "people" are not created to be loved or cared for.

Any man seen being this foolish should be treated as a criminal in a sane environment.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Do Some Employers Prefer Ladies For Jobs Than Men? by Cousin9999: 12:13am On Jul 12, 2022
1. Some employers are predators hoping to abuse desperate women.

2. Some companies prefer women for certain customer-facing roles due to appearance and temperament.

3. Some men will not do certain jobs because they feel it's "women's work" or the job has other qualities that make the average guy reject it. So employers simply focus on people who want to be there.

If you don't have a mini herb and spice garden, definitely get one. It doesn't take much, and the taste is quite different.

Science/Technology › Dead Solar Panels Are About To Become A Lot More Valuable by Cousin9999(op): 11:54pm On Jul 09, 2022
In the coming years, recyclers will hopefully be able to mine billions of dollars worth of materials from discarded solar panels, according to a new analysis published this week. That should ease bottlenecks in the supply chain for solar panels while also making the panels themselves more sustainable.

Right now, most dead solar panels in the US just get shredded or chucked into a landfill. The economics just don’t shake out in recycling’s favor. The value you can squeeze out of a salvaged panel hasn’t been enough to make up for the cost of transporting and recycling it. That’s on track to change, according to the recent analysis by research firm Rystad Energy.

Rystad expects the value of recyclable materials from solar panels to grow exponentially over the next several years, ballooning to $2.7 billion in 2030 from just $170 million this year. That’s thanks to a growing demand for solar coupled with an anticipated pinch in the materials needed to make panels. Technological advancements are also making it easier to extract more valuable materials from old panels, making recycling a sweeter deal financially.

Currently, solar energy makes up just over 3 percent of the global electricity mix. But the world’s energy systems are at the start of a drastic makeover to bring more renewable energy online. To keep the damaging effects of climate change at a more manageable level, the Paris climate accord commits countries to working together to quit releasing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels over the next few decades. To hit that goal, solar could account for upwards of 40 percent of the global power supply. It also helps that solar panels have grown super affordable, becoming a cheaper source of electricity than coal or gas in most of the world.

Still, there are some clouds ahead in the otherwise sunny forecast for solar energy. To build more solar panels, you need more materials. Right now, mining and processing those materials are concentrated in a handful of countries. That’s left the solar supply chain vulnerable to disruptions and rife with abuse. The nonprofit Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has documented human rights abuses during the mining of materials used in solar panels. And polysilicon used in solar panels is made through an energy-intensive process that’s been tied to forced labor. Those revelations have led to sanctions on some solar products made in China.

Recycling will play a role in diversifying those supply chains. It might also lessen the toll that mining takes on the environment and on the health of workers and nearby communities.

In the future, more of the materials used to make new solar panels are likely to come from re-hashed panels. Recovered silver, polysilicon, copper, and aluminum can fetch the most cash on the recycling market, according to Rystad. Unfortunately, today, silver and solar-grade silicon usually isn’t separated out with today’s recycling methods. It’s often shredded along with the rest of the panel and sold as crushed glass. Luckily, recycling could soon get more sophisticated, thanks to new research into how to salvage the most valuable stuff inside photovoltaic panels.

Solar started to take off in the 2000s, and with a lifespan of around 25 years — we’re just now approaching the first big wave of discarded solar panels. If it’s treated properly, that trash could become treasure.

Focusmind:
The reasons you mentioned here are the more reasons that made me to stay put in this country. The country is bad but there are certain things you cannot get abroad. However, my wife is pushing seriously for this "japa" for her and the kids and I have started to consider her demand. I dont intend to go with them as my job is here in Nigeria. I am working towards their "japa" while I remain put here to "enjoy" the benefits that comes with being in ones country. Though, I will have to visit my family once or twice in a year.
Your family can't work that way though. And if that's what your spouse really wants, I'd say the sacrifice is worth considering. However, don't sell everything you own or take unnecessary risks. And don't put yourself in a situation where you totally sacrifice your career for hers. Create a soft landing for both of you.

You can also do both things. For example, stay in the US until the youngest child finishes high school. Invest in real estate abroad and then leave, so you have strong passive income. Do enough years in a job abroad to collect pension.
