To all lovers of the golden state, dedicate this to y'all.
Haters are totally unwelcome on this thread, if you're an hater please back off!

1. California has more immigrants than any other state. California is home to almost 11 million immigrants—about a quarter of the foreign-born population nationwide. In 2019, the most current year of data, 27% of California’s population was foreign born, more than double the percentage in the rest of the country.

2. Most immigrants in California are documented residents.
More than half (53%) of California’s immigrants are naturalized US citizens, and another 25% have some other legal status (including green cards and visas).

3. After decades of rapid growth, the number of immigrants has leveled off. In the 1990s, California’s immigrant population grew by 2.4 million people, a 37% increase. But in the first decade of the 2000s, growth slowed to 15% (1.3 million), and in the past 10 years, the increase was only 6% (about 600,000). The decline in international immigration
has contributed to the slowdown of California’s overall population growth.

4. The majority of recent arrivals are
from Asia. The vast majority of California’s
immigrants were born in Latin America (50%) or Asia (39%).
California has sizable populations of immigrants from dozens of countries; the leading countries of origin are Mexico (3.9 million), the Philippines (859,000), China
(796,000), Vietnam (539,000), and India (513,000). However, among immigrants who arrived between 2010 and 2019, more than half (53%) were born in Asia, while 31% were born in Latin America.

5. Most of California’s immigrants are
bilingual. More than two-thirds (70%) of immigrants in California report speaking English proficiently, while
10% speak no English. Even among recent immigrants, those in the US for five years or less, 66% report proficiency in English, while 12% speak no English. At home, most immigrants speak a language other than English, with Spanish and Chinese (including Mandarin and
Cantonese) being the most common. So my Yoruba ehm sorry i mean my Nigerian people should note be ashamed of speaking our lovely Yoruba ehm sorry (slaps mouth) Nigerian language in California.

6. California’s immigrants have varying
levels of education. Among working-age Californians
(age 25–64), foreign-born residents accounted for 70% of those without a high school diploma and 32% of
those with at least a bachelor’s degree. But recent immigrants and immigrants from Asia tend to have
high levels of educational attainment. Half of foreign born
residents who have come to the state since 2010—and 61% of those who have come from Asia—have at least a bachelor’s degree. Overall, 29% of California’s immigrants have not completed high school, compared with 7% of US-born California residents. Thirty-two percent of California’s foreign-born residents have a bachelor’s degree, compared to 38% of US-born residents.

7. Californians have positive views of
immigrants. Nearly four in five Californians (78%)
believe immigrants are a benefit to the state because of their hard work and job skills, compared to only 18% who believe they are a burden. An even larger share (87%) believe
there should be a way for undocumented immigrants to stay in the country legally, and a majority (61%) favor state and local governments making their own policies and taking actions, separate from the federal government, to
protect the legal rights of undocumented immigrants in
California.

8. A quarter of the roughly 11.4 million immigrants in the country illegally live in California. Of those, nearly 60% live in six Southern California counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.
So if Jide tell you say im dey live for Southern California and he never visit home for like five years a beg help me suspect am small, just smaall.

9. In California, illegal immigrants can obtain driving licenses.
So don't let Sule deceive you say im be US citizens just because he fit drive freely for California.

10. California has the highest number of illegal immigrants in the US.
She you dey remember all those your friends wey go Yankee wet no fit visit even after 5 years, a beg help me suspect them small.


11. California's economy is larger than Africa and Australia economy. In fact, only eight countries in the world have an economy larger than California's economy: (The US), China Japan, and Germany, Russia, Brazil and Indonesia!
So if your uncle in California refuses to send you money. Hmm

12. California accounts for 14% of the US GDP. If California were a sovereign nation (2020), it would rank as the world's fifth largest economy , ahead of United Kingdom and India and behind Germany .
Did you get that? I said 14%, not 4%

13. The San Francisco Bay Area is home to several prominent internet media and social media companies, including three of the "Big Five" technology companies (Apple , Facebook, and Google ) as well as other services such as Netflix ,Twitter , Yahoo! , and YouTube .

primary statistical areas in 2018, [17] and is home to five of
the world's ten largest companies by market capitalization and four of the world's ten richest people.

15. The Greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area are the nation's second- and third-largest urban economies ($1.0 trillion and $0.5 trillion respectively as of 2020), after the New York metropolitan area ($1.8 trillion).
No be natural resources o, Shey Nigeria dey see, a beg help me slap that idiot wet they sleep. Nairalanders : (taps him on the head) Buhari! Buhari! Hamouston19 is calling you. Me: come here, come and explain how you let one city be larger than West Africa economy.

16. The economy of California , with a gross state product of
$3.2 trillion as of 2019, is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If it were a country, it would be the fifth largest economy as of 2020.

17. The San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Los Angeles Area are widely seen as the centers of the global technology and film industries, respectively. California's economy is very
diverse: 58% of it is based on finance, government, real estate services , technology, and professional, scientific,and technical business services.
Alaba boys are on the road to silicon valley, God bless Ikeja and those ibo boys.

18. Although it accounts for only 1.5% of the state's economy, California's agriculture industry has the highest output of any U.S. state.

19. The two largest seaports in the US, handling more than 40% of inbound containerized freight, are located in Los

21. The film industry added $49 billion to California's economy in 2015. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, the film and video industry contributed more than $49 billion to California's economy in 2015. New York finishes a distant second, with its film industry contributing just over $28 billion to its economy that year.
Where is Nylonwood? Ehm sorry I mean Nollywood!

22. Over two-thirds of US-produced fruits and nuts, as well as a third of the vegetables grown in the States, come from California. California economy statistics about agriculture show that more than 400 agricultural products are produced here. In 2017, agricultural exports totaled $20.56 billion. California’s Central Valley is the world’s largest patch of Class 1 soil, as well as the world’s biggest supplier of canned tomatoes.

23. Computers and electronic products are California's top export, accounting for 42 percent of all the state's exports in 2008. California’s top exports are computer & electronic products, with $45.1B worth of goods exported in 2018.

24 California has the most Billionaires and millionaires of any US state.

24 California is the most taxed state in the US.
Greedy people should better relocate back to Nigeria. Or could that be the reason for you Aunty not sending you money throughout her 5 years in America?

25. California is home to almost 40 million people . If that
number sounds mind-boggling, it should. That’s the largest population of any state, and it’s about 10 million more than the next second largest (Texas). It’s about one-eighth of the
total US population.
Una wey dey Texas: we are the biggest, we are the biggest! where e carry Una go now? See small California outdoing you in everything. Don't mind me oo, I mean slightly ahead of you in some things.

26. For those Nigerians who migrated directly from the village, and still wish to continue your ehm ehm meeting, About 45 percent of the state's total surface area is covered by forests, and California's diversity of pine species is unmatched by any other state. California contains more forestland than any other state except Alaska. So fear not! Your meeting continues.

27. California has the most national parks out of any state. They have nine! This means that you’ll have no shortage of hiking and camping spots and you can see all kinds of cool animals and plants. California has an abundance of unique natural features. It’s the perfect state for anyone who loves to put on their hiking boots and get out onto the trails . Mind you, don't go and be hunting their rabbits for bush meat, you wouldn't like the end result.

28. At the very least, California has the biggest singular tree.
The tree is named (yes, named) General Sherman. It’s a sequoia in the Sequoia National Park. It’s over 52,000 cubic feet by volume and it’s over 100 ft in circumference at its base. It’s hard to imagine what this means, but you need to see it for yourself. Go check out the forest and get ready to
feel small. You can also see Sequoias in Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park.
Can you see that not every tree is a firewood material? If you like still be thinking of Furniture o, shebi na your papa plant the tree? Oya go cut am now.

29. Calabar and Ondo please stay away from San Francisco, I repeat, stay away from San Francisco, don't go and live in San Francisco. You cant live in a city where there are more dogs than there are children and resist the temptation to eat dog meat. I have warned you now o, nairaland bears me witness. If you like go dey kill oyinbo dog dey chop, California prison go rest your brain for you, e go change your destiny from right to left. Shebi Una no dey look dog comot eye from there. By the time you go prison finish, no body go tell you to turn vegetarian after dem release you.
There are more dogs than children in San
Francisco. There are a lot of reasons for this. The primary one is that the cost of living in San Francisco is extreme. Even for tech workers who make a good amount of money, the idea of expanding their families isn’t appealing when money doesn’t go very far in the city. Instead, people adopt pets. If you’re a dog owner with no intention of procreating, you’ll find friends in San Francisco. Check out the dog parks!

30. All end time times preachers should stay off California, I repeat if you know you are a Doctorate degree holder from the Nigeria institute of end times Affairs and Rapture studies I repeat don't even dream of living in California. Hope Mr righteousness89 and his brother righteousness2 can see this? If you like go there, go there you hear! She I you no dey hear word? By the time earthquake and wildfires engulf you, nobody will tell you to increase your righteousness from 89 to 100. I pity the small righteousness, shebi you be 2, no wahala, you go no how far.
As part of the Ring of Fire , California is subject to tsunamis ,
floods , droughts, Santa Ana winds, wildfires , landslides on
steep terrain, and has several volcanoes . It has many earthquakes due to several faults running through the state,the largest being the San Andreas Fault . About 37,000
earthquakes are recorded each year, but most are too small
to be felt. Californians are comfortable with earthquakes, so tiny shakes won’t even cross their radar. If you make the
move, though, make sure that you’re ready for the next big quake!

31. Ehn ehn, where are all those Aluwe? If you know you're an Aluwe, please don't even visit California. All those Aluwe who cannot pass by without stopping to open your mouth down, with your tongue sticking out of your mouth to watch what has no business with you. Don't go there , because when you do, you go go dey open mouth for them they shot 1960 movie with Christian Dior for your body and Techno phone for your hand. No go there because you go go dey greet Cameraman 'good afternoon' Sir. No go spoil movie Scene for where Chuck Norris dey act, you fit no survive im blow. If you go spoil movie scene for them and dem catch you, you go act aluwe for prison tire, trust me!
How many of your favorite movies do you think crews filmed on location? Do the movie stars and directors always
travel the world to film everything on-location? More movies have been filmed in California than anywhere else. Even if a movie looks like it’s in ancient Egypt, Victorian England, or
even across the country in Philadelphia, it’s most likely that the setting is a backlot in Los Angeles or part of California’s vast and diverse landscape. Even with movies filming on location around the world, California still holds on to the top spot of theatrically released projects in 2020.

32. Where are those people who are notorious for tarnishing Nigeria's image abroad by engaging in all Sort of Criminal activities including drug dealing? One thing you should no is that being a criminal in California is a suicide mission. You was want to argue? c'mon, argue.
California has the incarceration of any US state. In fact over 2 million people are in Californian prisons with Black people accounting for 38% or more of the prisons population. California also has the highest number of prison facilities in the US.

33. California is home to the hottest place on earth. The Death Valley which is 108.1⁰F to 127⁰F. As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes. More than just a scorching desert, Death Valley offers park visitors a striking contrast of landscapes to explore -- from the snow that frosts the park’s towering peaks to the lush wildflower meadows and small oases that provide a reprieve from the heat to seemingly endless desert plains.
Death valley is the ideal places for Nigerian to live , this is because you don't need gas, kerosene or hot plate to cook your food. All you need to do is to place your frying pan on the ground and fry your egg, put your kettle on the ground and boil water for eba. I know that some of you will try to cook beans on the ground. If e no done na Una sabi.

34. I want to go to sleep, I have to go to work in the morning. I will complete it whenever I am chanced to.

Iamajala:
I like you bro. You’re matured in your reply. Me sef like your post. Reading those states in the U.S alone dey give me joy, I know say one day na one day very soon me sef go enter and become US citizen

Really, so you're an Americanah ? Don't worry I promise to feed you with Americanism, you will read to your fill. Just watch out for my posts.

bn365:
The scriptures are being fulfilled right in front of you. Prophesies are coming to pass
They just said no buying and selling unless you get injected a few weeks ago.
They will bring it back; the Ukraine war was merely a ploy to persuade people to stop protesting vaccine mandates.
God is God. Whether people are dying in Sapele or Ajamgbadi.
People die as a result of natural causes as well as man's inhumanity to man.
A prophecy about the end times is similar to some form of stargazing.
Wise people keep an eye out for signs...and get themselves ready
Simple people think it should all be skipped.
The point of the new world order is about trans-humanism where human gets fused with the machine.
These creatures are God's creation who wants to be like God.
Lucifer did the same thing and got kicked out of heaven.
He is motivating these elites. They are the ones creating food crises, etc to usher in New World Order
They are murderous.They have been in the shadows but think its time to come out in the open

That's your point, which isn't a fact. One thing which you should note is that the world has always had series of New World Orders. You can't compare medieval Europe with the dark ages, neither can you compare the Renaissance to the Industrial age. Now, tell me, in this world of today, where human are slaves to infinite sufferings, is it a bad thing for humans to find a solution to their problems, why God sat on his throne with his arms folded, watching and doing nothing to alleviate the sufferings of billions of people, but instead demanding 10 % of workers salaries and putting people into hell fire.
The truth is that humans have misinterpreted God's and man's purpose . Stop seeing every move to better the world as satanic. If such moves takes place and the world become partially balanced with at least 90% of the world poor made rich , will you decline it, of course not , you will benefit from it .
Did they declare such moves as satanic
Did they tell you that you must worship the devil before you can buy or sell?
What if in the future, the world decides to abandon paper currency for digital one. Or what if everyone got a number that process our buying, selling and other things in such a way that balances the world leaving no man poor or the other rich.
Stop being negative. If the so called Satanic decided to send 50,000 dollars into your account, you won't reject it.
Anyway, I'm not surprised, the black man is always a negative thinker.

This Biden's transparency may cost him his life. The dude is so to dumb lick US bom bom out to the world. He didn't even figure out that this released information would be of some Military advantage to Russia and China.
This man want to spoil everything for God own's country. Remember one president who was like him? John F Kennedy!
What was the result, he was killed by the CIA. Kennedy wanted to tell the whole world about US darkest secret and the existence of Alien. He paid with his life. Biden doesn't know his life is at stake. He can be killed anytime and anywhere. At his Delaware home, during a speech delivery, While hiking in Virginia, an Airforce One crash, during a visit to Eastern Europe, or even in his office seat!
Let him continue with his forbidden policies. At the end, he will know that those behind the affairs of government are more powerful than those whom represent it to the public.
He like his predecessors is only a stage actor, I wish he does not act beyond the script.

Blessed are the war mongers, for they shall see war.
War us brutal, if you are praying for it, then pray for your death as well.

1. WWI began on June 28, 1914, when a Serbian terrorist shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. Russia and France sided with Serbia, and Germany supported Austria-Hungary.

17. Tanks were initially called “landships.” However, in an attempt to disguise them as water storage tanks rather than as weapons, the British decided to code name them “tanks.'

18. Auschwitz was the largest and highly organized death camp in history. It was actually three camps: a concentration camp, a death camp, and a slave labor camp. It was 19 square miles, guarded by 6,000 men, and was located in the Polish town of Oswiecim. It was opened June 1940 and initially held 728 Polish prisoners.

25. For every five German soldiers who died in WWII, four of them died on the Eastern Front

26. During the war, the U.S. shipped about 7.5 million tons of supplies to France to support the Allied effort. That included 70,000 horses or mules as well as nearly 50,000 trucks, 27,000 freight cars, and 1,800 locomotives

27. One of the most brutal battles of the Korean War was the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, fought from November 27 to December 13, 1950. What made it different from other fierce fighting was the intensely cold and bitter weather. Temperatures dropped to -54° F. One survivor of the battle designed a bumper sticker that read: “Once Upon a Time Hell Froze Over. We Were There.'

28. The most decorated unit ever in U.S. history is the 442nd regimental Combat Team, whose motto was “Go for Broke.” It consisted of Japanese-American volunteers. Together they won 4,667 major medals, awards, and citations, including 560 Silver Stars (28 of which had oak-leaf clusters), 4,000 Bronze Stars, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, and one Medal of Honor, plus 54 other decorations.

30. After its defeat in WWI, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Germany lost all its overseas empires as well as land to its neighbors, and it was prevented from maintaining a large army. Most Germans opposed the treaty, and their resentment would eventually undo the settlement, leading to WWII

32. The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when 75,000 North Korean soldiers poured over the 38th parallel into South Korea to impose communism on its neighbor

33. Many soldiers died of frostbite during the Korean War before ever reaching the battlefields. The temperature in some areas fell below zero for long periods of time

34. The Korean War did not receive as much media attention as WW II and the Vietnam War. Consequently, it has been called the “The Forgotten War” or the “Unknown War.'

35. Approximately 30 different poisonous gases were used during WWI. Soldiers were told to hold a urine-soaked cloth over their faces in an emergency. By 1918, gas masks with filter respirators usually provided effective protection. At the end of the war, many countries signed treaties outlawing chemical weapons

36. The total cost of WWI for the U.S. was more than $30 billion

41. The Germans were skilled at intercepting and solving Allied codes. Germans also captured one out of four paper messengers.

Camp commanders were required to submit monthly reports on the amount of hair collected

50. The longest battle of WWII was the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted from 1939-1945

Jara: In August 1945, the Allied powers created the International War Crimes Tribunal, which included judges from the U.S., Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France. Never before in history had the losers of a nation at war been held to answer for their crimes before an international court

After WWI, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland emerged as independent nations

Even after the Korean War, North Korea remains the most hardline communist state in the world

GreatAxeMan:
If we were to make a similar list about Southerners it would run into a hundred pages.
You can't use the achievements of a handful of northerners to run away from your massive failure as a people.

In the recently released report on our poverty
level by Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the
South East states performed badly and below
expectation. While Ebonyi is the worst in South
East with about 80 percent of her citizens
described as poor, Enugu took the second
position with about 60 percent poverty level.
Following Enugu is Abia with about 31 percent,
Imo at 29 percent and Anambra at about 15
percent. On average, the poverty level in South
East is about 43 percent which means that
about 43 percent of South East citizens are
classified as very poor.
With a below per capita annual expenditure of
about N137,430 as the baseline for being
described as poor and using a population
estimate of 50 million, it means that about 21.5
million Ndi-Igbo are unable to afford and spend
about N11,000 per person every month. Of the
ten states with the least poverty level, only
Anambra made it at 8th position. Where is the
branded entrepreneurship skills of the Igbos?
Unfortunately, intensifying the poverty crisis is
the unprecedented level of insecurity which the
governors have through their clumsy actions
and inactions allowed to escalate across the
region.

about 43 percent of South East citizens are
classified as very poor.
With a below per capita annual expenditure of
about N137,430 as the baseline for being
described as poor and using a population
estimate of 50 million, it means that about 21.5
million Ndi-Igbo are unable to afford and spend
about N11,000 per person every month. Of the
ten states with the least poverty level, only
Anambra made it at 8th position. Where is the
branded entrepreneurship skills of the Igbos?
Unfortunately, intensifying the poverty crisis is
the unprecedented level of insecurity which the
governors have through their clumsy actions
and inactions allowed to escalate across the
region.

GreatAxeMan:
Eeya, sorry. I never know say the thing go pain you reach this level.
Of course, it is nothing compared to the kinds of wretchedness and suffering you will experience when Nigeria eventually breaks apart and you can no longer live like parasites on the rest of us.
I'm Yoruba by the way.

Pain who? You this omo ibo claiming to be a Yoruba. For your information, I'm a fully fledged Yoruba man.
The only region that will suffer most is your red soiled region that cannot provide prosperity for it inhabitants. Your red soil land that can't survive without coming to Yoruba land. For your information, the Other regions will survive except the region with microscopic IGR.

JAZES:
am not the type that make my point with insulting words, shows your
level of reasoning.

So kwara state is in the North ?

well you know the answer sha if u call kwara state the North

Kwara has always been a Northern state, even the name Kwara has gotten nothing to do with the South . For your information Northern Nigeria later merged into British Nigeria in 1914 before becoming independent as Nigeria in 1960. Originally, modern-day Kwara State was a part of the post-independence Northern Region until 1967 when the region was split and the area became the West Central State . In 1976, the state was renamed Kwara State and remained intact until the 1990s when its southeast was split off to form a part of Kogi State and its far northwest was given to Niger State .
Wonder why igbos always meddle into yoruba threads

Bnladan:
Dundee, which primary school did u attend? Are these states southern state?

Leave the hairy Pig alone. You are too intelligent for his flat weed head.

Hellonearth:
Just 28 in number.

Hahaha hahaha

28 out of the whole north.

Tufia

Yours is a matter of illiteracy and ignorance. At a point, you hate the West, later you cry, when some people didn't emigrate to the West.
The Northerners are rich, you cry
they are poor, you cry
The Northerners school abroad, you cry
They school at home, you cry
The Northerners are in positions at home, you cry
They are in positions abroad, you cry.
They Emigrate, you cry
They stay at home, you cry.
This shows your life is a complete failure, a black hole.
how can a grown up like be in existence only to discredit the existence of another man. Not surprised anyway, Omo ibo, ni e'. Eyin eniyan rada rada oshi! Spits.

Kazeem47:
Most productive Northerners live abroad.The few ones in Nigeria are quietly doing thing unnoticed. Only the illiterate and the brainwashed ones are wrecking havoc in the country.

True, Nigerians need to forsake the bloody foreign religions. If your hand causes you to sin, then cut it off.( if your religions causes you to kill, and hate your fellow man, then forsake it). But the black man is a permanent slave, he won't heed.

GreatAxeMan:
If we were to make a similar list about Southerners it would run into a hundred pages.
You can't use the achievements of a handful of northerners to run away from your massive failure as a people.

Since you are a black man, and not from another race then shame on you.
Since you are a human and not a robot, then Shame on Humanity
If you are religious and Worship a God, then Shame on your God and Shame on your religion.
For you are not worthy to be human by spreading such hatred. Must I be from the North before I can appreciate Northerners. Once again I repeat Shame on you, your God, and your religion. Shame on your existence.

Last time I check India had 68% of it population living in extreme poverty, that is a whooping 800 million people. Yet 29% of all the doctors in the US are Indians.
For your flat igbo head, I will like to tell you that no particular region can limit the success of those whom are determined to succeed .
Can your flat head change any of those people's achievement? For your information I was able to list 29, (though I omitted the lost ones) Next time, you will find this list numbering up to a hundred, and later a thousand.
what has their regions got to do with their achievements. Can you go and revoke their Citizenship?
Omo Ibo jati jati .

Metachit:
However one thing mosty common with all the names mentioned above should be they are not core muslims. Religion has always been an opium

Fact. I also noticed the same thing about my yoruba people. The Christians are the most Successful (both home and abroad). But the Muslims are less Significant.

JAZES:
True and how do you categorize kwara, kaduna and Nasarawa as north?

OP is definitely high on something .....lol

You're brain is similar to that of a dead Pig. Northerners are Northerners. Wonder what the heck is wrong with these IMO Ibos, always claiming everyone as their own, I won't be Surprised to hear you guys claiming we South Westerners as your also. Rubbish!

chynergy1:
they tried. u mean a19 states!

Abi o, can anything good come out of Israel? Just that I'm not a tribalist, if not, what's my shit about it!

McGg:
So it's only 28 northerners you have outside there


Any you need to come back home to see what your brothers have turned into

Why are My South Easterner neighbors always full of hate for other tribes. Anyway Shame on you Omo Ibo Radarada.

heniford2:
Op just listed name no picture no source to back it up,so my conclusion is fake not Real till am proven wrong

Who are You? SMH

This list is dedicated to all Nigerians whom are so obsessed with anything related to 'outside Country'. In fact, these set of people believe that any nigerian whom has not emigrated out of Nigeria is a loser and a lesser person. It is dedicated to all the tribal jingoist whom believed that only one region is capable of carving a niche abroad. I hereby prove such assertions to be wrong by providing this 'little' list. This list is about Northerners whom are citizens and have contributed something to their country of Residence. This list does not entails tribalism. Trust me, My fellow Southwesterners are a Thousand list. Followed by our South Eastern neighbors.
I hope you read it without prejudice.

I didn't say democracy is wrong and neither will I kick against democracy at any given point in time.... You'll realize I said "their so called democracy" because they use it as a tool to get what they want and also it only exists to favour them alone,, they don't care about democracy when it comes to others.

If they'll practice democracy in truth and no form of double standard then I would have been support the West and would love to see them succeed in their quest to democratize the globe.... But it's not the way it seems to be.

Just wishing for a country to fall, I mean the greatest country on this planet to fall is hating on them. Don’t take that back, that’s pure hatred. We are all humans, learn to accept everybody irrespective of our differences. Stop wishing people’s downfall. It’s so dumb.

My statement about their fall is Ironical. Of course, the day the US falls is the day the world will cease to exist. Which means it is pretty impossible.

Davidganna10:
South west region has the hottest states, followed by south east region, the central states has relatively cold and hot states.

The east and west north central has the coldest states, followed by north west region while the north east has a relatively cold and hot states.

I decided to chip this in for those considering states to migrate in the USA, this can guide you.

We go manage the hot state like that. BTW, would you like such preference?

Go and I ask your parents how people lived during military regimes in Nigeria.

Less inflation and less corruption. Also zero puppetry to Western or Eastern powers.

Mattswaggz:
Add Russia will be the country that'll spearhead the fall of West and their so called democracy.

All government are not perfect but democracy is the best. Only that it is not Suitable for any nook and cranny of the world. i.e . Nigeria or the Middle East

sunboy:
When are you moving to Russia?

Immediately the US falls.
Don't be biased, I posted about Russia doesn't means I hate the US. Russia is a nice country, only the leader of the day can defame it image. Do you know that during Harry S Truman presidency , the US was under a "dictatorship", just like Russia. And do you also know that Russia under Mikhail Gorbachev was like US of today, and was a very strong ally of the US.
Learn to reason like a white man. At the end of all this thing, they know what they are doing. In the next 50 years there won't be Russia and US issue any more. Can't you learn from Germany, Italy and Japan that were against the US?
