The West wants a peaceful Africa. Dead bodies and refugees can't buy Apples and Laptops and Chevys

An elderly man in eastern India stunned bank officials and customers after exhuming his late sister’s remains to prove her death and access money in her account.

The incident occurred on Monday in the Malipasi area of Keonjhar district in Odisha, according to a report by The Hindu.

The man, identified as Jitu Munda of Dianali village, had approached the Maliposi branch of the Odisha Grameen Bank in the Patana block to withdraw about Rs 20,000 from the account of his elder sister, Kalara Munda, who died on January 26.

However, bank officials requested the required documentation before processing the claim.

In a dramatic response, Munda dug up his sister’s skeleton and brought it to the bank as proof of her death, shocking those present.

With no formal education and little understanding of banking procedures, Munda said repeated visits to the bank yielded no result.

“I told them she had died, but they did not listen. They kept saying, bring the account holder to withdraw the money. Out of frustration, I dug the grave and brought her skeleton as proof that she is no more,” he said.

The unusual incident prompted officers from the Patana police division to visit the bank after being alerted.

A police official, Kiran Prasad Sahu, said the situation highlighted a communication gap.

“Jeetu is an illiterate tribal man. He does not understand what a legal heir or nominee means. The bank officials failed to make him understand the procedure to withdraw money from a deceased person’s account,” Sahu said.

Following police intervention, bank officials assured Munda that the process for accessing the funds would be facilitated in line with due procedures.

The remains were later returned and reburied at the gravesite in the presence of police personnel.

Reports indicated that the situation was further complicated because the nominee on the account had also died, leaving Munda as the sole surviving claimant.

A local official, Manas Dandpat, said the authorities were only made aware of the situation recently.

But west wants a peaceful and prosperous Africa.

Take China. China is where it is today not because the west loves them, but because they invested in tech and they stopped doing the socialist economy you guys love. And industries because they realised that they didn't have enough resources

Anytime I say we should do the same in Nigeria on this site, you guys tell me that we have oil therefore we should develop.

West prefers a first world developed Africa..More disposable income to buy more western goods. More places for potentially cheaper manufacturing. That's why the largest markets for western goods are in China self.

If you no get am, sorry. Like I said many of you know that Tinubu is a bad leader, you don't know why he is a bad leader

nairalanda1:
You've just agreed with me that an African currency backed by oil doesn't make sense

At the same time you are disagreeing with me on the need for all African countries to use their natural resources to develop industrially.

So you want us to remain backward.

Right

nairalanda1:
Dollar is tied to industrial productivity and other productivity more than oil.

No way the amount of oil would have supported an African currency even if ghaddafi used all of the oil in his hands.

A good African leader developes their blacksmiths. Not living on passive income from a resource that has volatility in price

nairalanda1:
Ghaddafi was a bad leader.

I've said it...Ghaddafi was a bad leader.

I assume you are a christian, so let us turn to the book of 1 samuel chapter 13 vs 19

There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn't allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews

Ghaddafi had all that oil money, and instead of using it for things like developing a domestic industry that could produce anything, he was sharing the money

The fact is Libya had less than 6 million people, and was then producing 5 million barrels per day.

Ghaddafi did not develop his blacksmiths. At all

One secondary school teacher of mine once said that the reason why Saddam Hussein lost gulf war 1 (this was before gulf war 2). was because Saddam bought all his weapons from abroad. Including the USA. When war broke out, the USA was able to counter the Iraqui army because they knew the weapons their boys were using

Same thing with Ghaddafi. Same thing

Also keep in mind that oil would soon become redundant. When that happens where would Libya be?

Ghaddafi did not develop his blacksmiths, so he was a bad leader.

And his plan would have created a currency based on oil revenue. That is a flimsy basis for a African currency. At least Euro is based on how industrially produictive the EU is.

nairalanda1:
1. Resources are cheaper in an era of lack of strife. No need to bribe millitias and bribe warloards and transporting the resources are far far easier

2. Ghadaffy brought his problems on himself. And anyway, Libya issues didn't bring down oil prices in 2012. On the contrary they stayed high for another two years. See the Hormuz issue. Crisis always leads to higher prices of resources

nairalanda1:
Instability only means increased prices and increased instability

Also, an unstable country cannot buy western products and goods. Refugees don't have the type of disposable income to buy an apple iPhone

A peaceful and prosperous Africa is in the west best interest

They have no morality. It flickers. The satan inside them just makes them so angry with God that doesn't exist. No be juju be that?

tosine90:
How can a sane person be an atheist in the first place untill they can answer this question. They should re examine their stands.

Can a art exist without an artist
Can a movie exist without a producer
Can a bread exist without a baker
Can food exist without a cook or chef
Can a phone exist without a maker
Can a song exist without a musician
Can a car exit without the manufacturer

Then how can you accept humans exist without a maker
And the world exists without the Creator
Can a footprint exist on a beach without someone who make it.
The fact that we can see God doesn't mean it doesn't exist or an imagination of man.

No wonder the Bible says a fool says in his heart there is no God

Think 🤔

US and west prefer a peaceful and productive Africa to a violent one

Dead people can't buy imported goods and dead people cannot mine raw materials.cheaply and dead people cannot provide cheaper labour for finished goods for export

US and Europe are not fond of Asians either, yet China, Korea and Japan and peaceful. Because it benefits the world and the USA in particular


As an example., if peace reigns in the dr Congo and stability and good governance reigns there , the price of phones and many electronics would be cheaper by far. Because a lot of the raw materials for your phone and computer electronics are mined in the Congo and the instability in the area makes the price of the raw materials produced there rise and rise.

Same issue in places like Sudan and South Sudan. Peace there is vital to oil prices staying low. Apart from the strait of Hormuz.

The West prefers peaceful stable countries. Again. dead people don't trade or buy things. Refugees can't earn money to buy stuff or organise lines of supply or even mine for stuff effectively
You better stop blaming the whites for your problems caused by leaders who prefer sharing money to actual development

If not for Tinubu’s subsidy removal, Dangote refinery wouldn’t be anywhere near operational

I don't have time for this childish and ignorant comment?
You can call it anything you like. Commonsensically, you could have googled it to find out if what I said is true. You just came and started to talk trash. I saw the video of what I am saying. Hundreds of flights cancelled in a day, and people were seen stranded and sleeping on the floors of airports waiting for their flights to come as a result of cancelled flights, blackouts and serious cold all over the place as a result of attacks on heating and lighting facility . What Russians are going through now is same experience they went through during the world war 2 when they were dieing as a result of serious cold. Common sense is not common. Do the right thing if you have.

HelipsTech:
Instead of condemning the bombing of residential building, you are instead attacking Ukrainian president, who has decided to defend his country

HelipsTech:
You will not cry genocide, you will not wish Putin hell as you would, if it was Bibi who bombed a residential building, instead you want Zelensky to give Ukraine to Putin, Otherwise tell me why you said Zelensky should borrow sense.

Hypocrites, everywhere, they support Putin, aggressor to invade Ukraine and kill resident, civilians, but abuse Trump/Bibi for disarming Terrorist IRGC. Shame

lordm:
Supporting nonsense. Condem what is wrong bro

marv1:
When will this war end, ? but there is pressure on Putin to resign because of the Black out experienced from drone attacks of facilities from Ukraine resulting in severe cold without heater. In a day several flights of over 300 are cancelled because of uncertainty. If this war is not ended any moment from now, Putin may not last the next one year . Both sides have lost massively but Putin is feeling the heat more and more everyday.

lordm:
Russia really needs to be taught a lesson.

givedemwotowoto:
Hundreds die in Nigeria weekly and sometimes in a single day but they rarely make headlines

Here is a country at war and 7 fatalities in a single day is major news

Mirasteel:
But you will believe it if it's Israel or US?

CSTRR:
And that's fair, to be honest.

I would rather you judge me based on what I can control than on something I can't control.

Any fool can be born tall and handsome just by luck, but not any fool can be rich.

Wealth is deliberate, handsomeness is not.

Razzness:
This analysis of yours is very funny. First of all, Iran is not fighting this war to make money; it is simply in this war for survival. You think Iran is a stranger to economic turmoil. These people were under impossible sanctions for 47 years; they did not surrender, and somehow you think a blockade of two weeks that is not affecting only them but the rest of the Gulf states and the entire world will make them beg for a ceasefire. I am sure even Trump does not believe this.

The funniest part is that you said the US will care less about the energy crisis because of Venezuela. Please delete that statement; it is embarrassing for anyone with some education to make such a statement.

Razzness:
If the US is not careful, Iran will emerge from this war a world power.
The leverage Iran has over the entire world is not moi-moi, o. Just imagine fuel went from N790 to N1300 in less than 2 months. Even though Iran's military is no match for the US and Israel, they find themselves in a strategic position that has forced the US and Israel to exercise a level of restraint we have never seen from them before. The US almost never does a cease-fire. If they commit to a war, they usually see it through even if it takes several years. But with Iran the stakes are too high; that's why they negotiated a ceasefire and even extended it when Iran refused to capitulate.

Imagine if Ukraine had similar leverage over the global economy; the world would not have sat back and allowed Russia to pound them like this. But because the war does not affect anybody outside of Ukraine, everybody is just sympathizing with Ukraine from a distance. Now with Iran, the story is very different; everybody is feeling it.

There is simply no easy way out for Trump here; if you continue negotiating, Iran continues to play hardball. If you continue the blockade, oil prices and global inflation keep rising. If you agree to Iran's ceasefire term, America becomes humiliated. If you send in ground troops, many American soldiers will be lost. If you bomb their power plants and bridges, they will bomb the bridges and power plants of countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait that have been paying you billions for protection. If you withdraw, they will become emboldened and continue with whatever they are doing. Trump must chew one of these bitter pills.
I guess extending the ceasefire is a less bitter pill.
