If you can humble yourself for a while, you can get a decent job in UK. If you refuse to do that, maybe start a business there (a franchise would probably be the best option) or train for a medical profession (there's lots of different technician jobs that you can do with 2 years or less of training). Another option is basically taking an office job no one wants (teacher, social worker, inspection job requiring a lot of travel...).

Business › Guyana And Nigeria Commence Direct Commodity Trading by Cousin9999(op): 8:54pm On Apr 15, 2022
See below full press release issued by African Caribbean Chamber of Trade, Commerce and Industry:

The African Caribbean Chamber of Trade, Commerce and Industry in collaboration with the Nigerian High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago with non-resident accreditation for Guyana has successfully facilitated the start of commodity trading between Guyana and Nigeria.

The Chamber – a body focused on improving trade between Africa and the Caribbean Region with its headquarters in Georgetown – directly facilitated and received the first commercial commodity quantity goods on Wednesday, March 23, 2022.

The 20ft container carrying shea butter officially marks the start of commodity trading between Guyana and Nigeria and the wider Sub-Saharan region.

Meanwhile, the Chamber would also like to take this opportunity to announce that the first cargo from Guyana is expected to arrive in Nigeria by the end of the year.

That inaugural shipment from Guyana will consist largely of rum and rum products.

This is being done while the Chamber continues intense work to reduce shipping time and make the route more commercially viable.

The Chamber equally wishes to inform the public that direct flight between Africa and the Caribbean is expected to commence before the end of the year. Routes are currently being finalised with airlines and regional governments.

The framework for exchanges between Guyana and Nigeria is already established through the Directorate of technical aid corps – a framework for the exchange of resources, technology, and knowledge between Nigeria and countries of the Africans, Caribbean and pacific countries.

The African Caribbean Chamber of Trade, Commerce and Industry welcomes the expansion of relations between Guyana and the world’s second-largest and second-most-populous continent.

You're right. It's a safety hazard. But look at it as an opportunity. Lots of guys want to haul. Start a business selling and renting affordable, safe trailers that can be attached to keke. Maybe something with a sturdy cage and plenty of space. You could also sell/rent affordable small trucks and trailers.

Science/Technology › Solar Energy Can Now Be Stored For Up To 18 Years, Say Scientists by Cousin9999(op): 6:14am On Apr 14, 2022
Solar-powered electronics are one step closer to becoming an everyday part of our lives thanks to a “radical” new scientific breakthrough.

In 2017, scientists at a Swedish university created an energy system that makes it possible to capture and store solar energy for up to 18 years, releasing it as heat when needed.

Now the researchers have succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator. Though still in its early stages, the concept developed at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenberg could pave the way for self-charging electronics that use stored solar energy on demand.

“This is a radically new way of generating electricity from solar energy. It means that we can use solar energy to produce electricity regardless of weather, time of day, season, or geographical location,” explains research leader Kasper Moth-Poulsen, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers.

“I’m very excited about this work,” he adds. “We hope with future development this will be an important part in the future energy system.”

Solar energy is a variable renewable because for the most part it, it only works when the sun shines. But technology to combat this much-discussed flaw is already being developed at a fast pace.

Solar panels have been made from waste crops that absorb UV light even on cloudy days while ‘night solar panels’ have been created that work even once the sun has set.

Long-term storage of the energy they generate is another matter. The solar energy system created at Chalmers back in 2017 is known as ‘MOST’: Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems.

The technology is based on a specially designed molecule of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen that changes shape when it comes into contact with sunlight.

It shape-shifts into an ‘energy-rich isomer’ - a molecule made up of the same atoms but arranged together in a different way. The isomer can then be stored in liquid form for later use when needed, such as at night or in the depths of winter.

A catalyst releases the saved energy as heat while returning the molecule to its original shape, ready to be used again.

Over the years, researchers have refined the system to the point that it is now possible to store the energy for an incredible 18 years.

Foreign Affairs › World Bank Approves $300M Grant For Ethiopia Conflict Recovery Response by Cousin9999(op): 5:05am On Apr 14, 2022
The World Bank has approved a $300 million International Development Association (IDA) grant for the “Response-Recovery-Resilience for Conflict-Affected Communities in Ethiopia Project,” according to statement from the Bank. “The project will support efforts to address the immediate needs of communities, rehabilitate/recover infrastructure destroyed by conflict, and increase community resilience to the impacts of conflict in a sustainable manner,” the dispatch said.

“Specifically, the project will help to improve access to basic services, as well as rebuild climate-resilient infrastructure, prioritized by communities. To urgently meet the needs of conflict-affected communities, mobile units will be dispatched to provide key services including in the areas of education, health, water, and sanitation. The project will also provide GBV survivors with improved access to the services and comprehensive care needed to recover from the impacts of the violence they experienced. Furthermore, it will support prevention interventions to address the underlying norms and dynamics that perpetuate GBV,” the World Bank further said.

Foreign Affairs › Exxon To Invest $10 Billion In Massive Guyana Offshore Oil Project by Cousin9999(op): 4:56am On Apr 14, 2022
Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) on Monday decided to invest $10 billion in a fourth oil production project off the coast of Guyana, the largest in the South American country.

Guyana is one of Exxon's top bets for future production growth, with as much as 1.2 million barrels per day of oil and gas (boed) expected to be produced by 2027.

Exxon and partners Hess Corp (HES.N) and CNOOC Ltd Consortium started production in Guyana in 2019 and are responsible for all output in the country. They have discovered more than 10 billion barrels of recoverable oil.

Exxon's Yellowtail development in the Stabroek block is expected to produce about 250,000 barrels of oil per day starting in 2025. The $10 billion project is one of up to 10 that the companies plan to install in Guyana.

Exxon's fourth project at Yellowtail will "provide the world with another reliable source of energy to meet future demand and ensure a secure energy transition,” said Liam Mallon, president of Exxon's upstream company.

The final investment decision was made after receiving government and regulatory approvals on Friday.

Exxon named the offshore production unit for Yellowtail "One Guyana," it said. The project will include six drill centers and up to 26 production and 25 injection wells, the company said.

The three companies produced 120,000 boed in Guyana in 2021. Exxon isthe leading operator with a 45% stake.Partners Hess and CNOOC keep 30% and 25% of the output, respectively.

Earlier this year, the group started a new production vessel that will bring total capacity in the country to more than 340,000 barrels per day.

1. She's not white.

2. The average American child has had a Capri-Sun. It's juice in a sachet.

3. It's pretty common for athletes to use a water bladder strapped to them. Not that different from a sachet.

4. There are collapsible water pouches that are the same as sachets, only reusable. Pretty common. I'm pretty sure I've seen them in convenience stores all over the world.

Its doesn't work that way. In layman terms, GDP (gross domestic products) simply means the amount of every financial transaction done in a country in a particular period, usually annually.

If Nigeria GDP is 400B usd, then its not that big, giving the size of our population. Finland is about Five million people, but their GDP runs close to 300B usd. If five million finnish citizens share 300B, compare to over 200M Nigerian citizens share 400B, which of the citizens will come out richer? Obviously Finland. This is known as GDP per capita.

And given the fact that Finland is not corrupt, and the system works well for such a tiny population, its common sense they will be better than Nigeria. Especially when a tiny percentage of Nigeria controls the wealth of the country.
The reality is that there are so many people looting Nigeria (foreigners included) and so much sabotage (from foreigners primarily) that no one knows what the GDP is, or what the earning potential is. Whatever that figure looks like, it's fair to say it's comparable to any developed nation of similar size.

Albania

If you count central Asia as white, then almost all of those places are terrible.

ETA: I initially regarded the term "better" in a very general sense with regard to quality of life. But if we ignore that (and even the reality that Nigeria is heavily sabotaged, mainly by foreigners), in the most basic sense, no white country is better than Nigeria. Why? Ask yourself what's fun about life in white countries. Ask how much of that was created by black people (and financed by money looted from black people). Ask how much was made into something fun by black people. Generally speaking, whites have no cultural joy.

As long as people are allowed to bear arms as permitted by their constitution, frustrsted folks will continue to shoot innocent people and the cycle will continue. Whenever they are tired of the shootings, they know exactly what to do
This shooting didn't happen because someone was "frustrated." It happened because someone was paid. It specifically happened because white nationalists don't like progressive places like New York. NYC is a symbol of all the things they don't like: diversity, ambition, real infrastructure, real culture, valuing education, new immigrants trying to achieve the American dream, and success.

White nationalists believe they can create fear or even somehow harm NYC's marketability. They can't. They're ídíots.
