Then go, and fix it.
Facts, what's stopping OP from linking up w/ other Naijas in his city of Houston to demand the changes they want in Nigeria? Hell, he could've probably link up w/ people he know in Nigeria and fight for change. Sound like OP don't wanna fight.

Yeah, but the families who benefitted off the Igbo or other WA slave traders still exist. If it didn't, you wouldn't that Igbo who wrote in The New Yorker about the wealth her family posseses, or you wouldn't have Henry Louis Gates talking to descendants of former slavers.
you can be related to these familes, and then what?
yall stay ignoring the nuances of what happened.
Not even worth having this convo on here.

Nigeria will only ever change through a revolution. It's not going to be a bloodless revolution either. Kleptocracy and corruption is too entrenched in the way of life for things to change.Facts, what's stopping OP from linking up w/ other Naijas in his city of Houston to demand the changes they want in Nigeria?

The poverty rate is at a whopping 40% which makes for 80m+ poor people. That is a nation of struggling people with no upward mobility. It is a powder keg the size of which the world has not seen. Poverty is actually used as a weapon to quell revolutions. The people are supposed to feel despondent and feel like they don't have the capacity to effect a change. Nigeria has also used its military might to supress movements and revolutions as well. But the poor population has reached a critical mass and it can only go one way. It is a Yugoslavia in the making, except worse. I feel sorry for people without an exit strategy in that country.

Nigeria is a farce

The culture of the 70s of getting the corrupt leaders the fukk out of here needs to come back. The sad, but real issue is those same revolutionary heads that led these coups are now the fat, lazy and corrupt government leaders taking space in these countries.
the real leaders were unfortunately killed or exiled in the name of greed and foreign aid, especially when it wasn’t needed (Thomas Sankara and Blaise Compaore)

Nah, Black people aren't children.
People in leadership positions are fully accountable / responsible for their actions.

Biggest challenge for Nigeria is that people value loyalty to family, friends and ethnic group above loyalty to "country."
White countries are just as if not MORE corrupt but a larger number of people are able to eat off the corruption.

Why is tribal strife so big in Africa?
Honestly that why I don’t 100% support the back to Africa initiative(besides that obvious fact that we helped build America). We will be real deal outsiders albeit with with more money than 75% of their population but culturally we will still be an outsider.
Even in the states it seem like African people prefer to be with their own nationality more often than not. But black Americans and their family ,atleast nowadays wouldn’t matter if they date an African descent or anything. Black is Black to Americans idk about Canada I see y’all classify yallself more than Black Americans do but I can see that because because y’all have a lot of first and second gen people there.
