Let us take a second to reflect on these:
Why is it that countries that are blessed with ENOUGH resources are the ones ravaged by MORE THAN ENOUGH penury and security challenge?

1.) Iraq - oil
2.) Libya - oil
3.) Nigeria - oil
4.) Congo - copper and oil
5.) Afghanistan - oil
6.) Somalia - oil
7.) Egypt - oil
8.) Sudan - oil
9.) Syria - Oil
10.) Yemen -oil

...and countries that do not have half of the resources of these countries enjoy in luxury with no security issues. They are:

1.) United Kingdom
2.) Germany
3.) Italy
4.) Switzerland
5.) Canada
6.) Lithuania

My own opinion is that slavery has not stopped but modified because most ravaged countries are being looted all in the name of peacekeeping.
...to be continued

It's all in the mind. We've been made to believe that their society and it's product are better than our which inherently leads to dependency.

You are correct.
What they do is divide and and rule so that we use our resources to fund their livelihood.
Our politicians are been encouraged to keep looted funds in their banks thereby creating more jobs for their citizens and more revenue for their country while we are left to fight ourselves over what is not sufficient.

My brother we are our own enemy . UAE is a good example they leave fine on der oil money but just look at our case an average Nigerian is a thief just want to chop money as we all say and nairaland is a great example of how we represent our country. The yorubas alwayz attacking the igbos and same goes to hausa just think about that how can progress come from hatred

I quite agree with you.
But don't you think most of the challenges we are facing are being sponsored by these countries so that they take full advantage of us.
Take a good look at Libya, the NATO countries sponsored a rebel group against their government and unfortunately the citizens fell for the trap until they killed their benefactor president (Gaddafi). Now Libya has known no peace ever since and their oil cannot be accounted for

I will respect your opinion if and when you list the 196 countries in the world , categorize them and show us what they may or maynot be going through instead of selected few countries
