whats the difference between globalization and imperialism? absolutely nothing

globalisation is simply a euphemism for world wide expansion, domination and control which is precisely what imperialism is. the americans prefer to use the word "globalisation" as it sounds less threatening than imperialism but the bottom line is that the objective of both words are the same - world wide domination and control of economic and political forces.

sjeezy8:
America might be considered more pro-globalization than an imperialistic country.
Within globalization Nigeria can benefit as the Chinese did.
it all depends on on how a person see it.

As far as i am concerned i do not care how corrupt other countries are but that my country is. The level of corruption in America as far as i am concerned is x2 of Nigeria's. The only difference is they do it with style and finese and in some cases legalise it while ours is brazen, crude and downright archaiec. For instance lets say you want to buy a car and you visit a car dealership the system is such that it is so easy to get the car as little as 4k for a valued car of 30k. The twist is miss one payment and the penalties are structured in a way to make you a slave to that dealer forever. The whole system is such that things are given to you in way thay is so easy but at the end you will be a slave for life. They are so good with mathmatics and law that once you are trapped you will have no legal recourse except to file for bankruptcy and trust me that is the last thing you want to do. In Nigeria when a senator collects money we call it bribery but for here na lobbying. Their own type of online fraud is how to set up your own online home business . You will be conned into parting with hard earned dollars and when you have lost your money the explanation is you did not follow the business module well enough for it to succeed. The marketing and the manner you are conned is so suave that you will never believe it is a con. They even advertise on tv. and get this; the tv station will advise you to be careful of the advert that they are about to show, that they will not be held accountable if you lose money. The reason we are branded is that we are too crude. In all the countries i have gone i have not seen where a policeman will stand in the middle of the road to collect bribe in broad daylight.

becomrich,:
sjeezy8 , which street in mushin are you written from. why do you think california , taxas are rich state. oil my friend,

Bialegend:
Block head, you are not worthy of getting any more response from me on this any more, but let me just clarify one thing for you. I do not live in USA or UK, rather, i live in Biafra.

THE AMAKA:
oh i see.
man, why aint you talking to me anymore?
you mad or something?

Bialegend:
Which conflict are you talking about? Why should an already written and passed law come into conflict in a civilized country like USA? Do you think it's your banana republic of nigeria where your yaradua can wake up one morning and solely change the laws under the constitution to suit his personal interests?
You are complete moronic thomas. I pity the person that paid your school fees. With facts reeled out for you by different persons, yet you are still doubting. Why can't you google and read facts for yourself for goodness sake? Is this what laziness have left of you? Afraid of what the future will become for your silly life under cocoa?
Is that why you are defending anything that will make nigeria to stay ONE? Olodo, once again, states in USA controls their resources 100% and pay taxes to Washington. Olodo, that's the way it is and neither you nor your nigerian morons can change it.

[size=13pt]eyesight like i said[/size]

THE AMAKA:
and where did those "statistics" come from?

cap28:
yes but the problem is that america is an imperial power - it beleives in expansion and domination of weaker nations - that has always been its mode of operation and it never deviates from it - with the exception of vietnam that suffered an invasion without subsequent occupation the phillipines and iraq all ended up being permanently occupied by america.

not that i care what happens to Yar adua but doesnt he understand the implications for him if america refuses to withdraw their military operatives.

my feeling is that america are using the niger delta situation as an excuse to occupy the region, think about it, this is the excuse that they are using for their current occupation of iraq - why arent they pulling out troops from that region? because supposedly they are maintaining peace within the region and if they leave the country will fall into a state of chaos - this is total nonsense because iraq is in total chaos because they are there, they did the same thing in vietnam - their excuse then was "we're trying to free them from an oppressive communist threat" - all lies. with the niger delta situation they have a legitimate excuse - peacekeeping- but theyve been dying to locate military bases in nigeria for the simple reason of securing the oil wells since last year.

sjeezy8:
I feel sorry for you because your hatred for Nigeria has blinded you from using your common sense.
Resouce control in America isn't really resource control owned by the state.
States such as texas or alaska dont have the authority under the constitution to control oil leases and determine how much oil is to be pumped. Americas constitution like Nigerias in terms of Business and Economy is made to benefit the private sector. TAXES is what benefits the state and or Federal Government.

WHICH IS WHY THE OIL MAKING STATES OF AMERICA, DONT EQUATE TO HAVING HIGH INCOME WORKERS THAT INHABIT THEM.

why are you dumb like seriously why?

mekuslogan:
He squandered the bank's money and escaped
His fellow squanderers stood tall and faced the music of their crime
But one escaped and reported himself to foreign authorities
Reminds me of the escape of Abiola
And his declaration '' I am president of Nigeria'' in a foreign land
Why would some people not be bold to face the consequence of their actions
Some say he who runs away lives to fight another day
But not so in Abiola's case
He ran, lived and then died
So some merely postpone the doomsday
Akingbola will run and return
Then extra prison term will be added unto him
for wasting everybody's time
If others get 10 years
He will get 10 years + 3 years
for cowardice
for eating and denying
for lack of patriotism (reporting himself to foreign authorities instead of the authority of his own country)

becomrich,:
sjeezy8 , you are wrong. In the USA , it is the state that least out the land to oil company, not the federal govt. and they get paid what is call "oil leases "

It is each state in the USA that own the land and oil. The house of rep  are allow to determine which state are to be drilled.

And there is what they call state waters which is part of the state. And the state own the right to it. They also have federal water

The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) is a quasi-judicial agency in the U.S. state of Alaska, within Alaska's Department of Administration.[1] It was originally established in 1955, was subsequently abolished, but was eventually reestablished. This Commission is responsible for overseeing oil and gas drilling and production, reservoir depletion, and certain other operations on private and state-owned lands in Alaska.

Are you the only one that doesn't know that every state in America controls it's resources 100% and pays tax to Washington? Do you see why we call you guys fools? Why can't you google and read things up for your self instead of blindly defending a system that has brought your nigeria to it's knees.

Bialegend:
Usual Yoruba ways of defending their cowardice trait. It's not new.

OMG thi is really terrible.

Beaf:
You are 100% correct in that assessment, but you've pointed out something even more worrying than financial poverty. Like that poor farmer, the average Nigerian is also ignorant; a much worse predicament.
