My tribe has a saying-popularised by the acclaimed novelist,Chinua Achebe-that he who brings home ant-infested faggots shouldnt complain if he is visited by lizards.That proverb is apt in describing the type of treatment nigeria recieves from western world,led by the USA.Since president Jonathan signed the anti-gay bill into law,the west has not allowed us to drink water and drop the cup as the saying goes.presidential visits have been allegedly cancelled;threats of cancellation of aids have been issued;patronising & condescending comments have been directed at us.Compare this to the treatment the west metes out to two other countries;China&Saudi.China is the largest non-democracy in the world.china doles out the death penalty for corruption & drug trafficking.china regulary arrests & detain those who speak against dictatorial policies.china cencors what its citizens can see on the web.china restricts the number of children a chinese couple can have.

China uses the iron fist against the self-determination efforts of the Tibet,and since 1959,the spiritual leader of Tibet Dalailama-has been in exile(double lenght of time Nelson mandela spent in prison).In 2013 report,human rights watch noted that in 2012"chinese people people had no say in the country's three decades of rapid modernisation,the government remains an authoritarian one-party system that places arbitrary curbs in freedom of expression,association,religion,prohibits independent labour unions and human rights organisations,and maintains party control over all judicial institutions.The government also censors the press,internet,and publishing industry,and enforces highly repressive policies in ethnic minority areas in Tibet,xinjiang,&inner mongolia.Yet USA sees no evil,hears no evil,keeps its mouth shut & continues to do business with his chinese counterpart.Even when the US president attempts to raise his voice against a chinese policy,he speaks in a muffled voice,why is that so?

The reason is this:China is the US' largest creditor.The amount reached a record $1.317tn in november 2013.china crawled out of its retrogressive communism & embraced open market & industrialisation,with the result that it was cataputed to the 2nd largest economy in the world.Its status as the most populous nation in the world and a member of the security council are also great assets.No sane man talks down on his creditor or benefactor,unless the man has made concrete plans to stop depending on the benefactor.The USA,Canada,Asia and European union know that anybody who messes with china gets a bloodied nose.china doesnt condone any criticism,no matter how subtle.So,every country respects itself where china is involved and looks for beggarly countries to bully

As a Brit I have to put my two penny worth in and defend our friends across the pond, not that they need defending but still I can't help myself.
Could it be that the US is an advanced and free Country that makes you feel bitter. Could it be that the US try's to help out everywhere but then gets accused of putting its nose in where its not wanted.
Could it be that the US sends billions in aid everywhere.

Imagine a world without the US. You would not exist because a certain Mr Hitler would have wiped you out long ago.
I suggest you think about this when you have come down from your moral high ground.

You mean you don't see any money from all the aid?

Now, this is a 2010 report. I would bet it's much more today.

10. Nigeria ($614.7 million)

Nigeria received $614 million in U.S. aid in 2010.

Corruption, poor governance, conflict and poverty have hampered Nigeria’s bid for democratic and economic progress and U.S. financial aid targets those areas. Additional aid is spent on security and addressing serious health and educational problems. A large portion of the money is used to treat and help prevent diseases, especially malaria, TB and HIV/AIDS. An interesting note: Nigeria is the fourth-largest exporter of oil to the United States.

Why is it, the more aid given to Africans, the poorer they seem to get and the more they demand?

That would apply to the so-called Africans here, as well.

And the point would be? The lack of free handouts? Your acceptance of a puppet controlled by the West as a government? Is it jealousy over China being more tyrannical than Nigeria? What exactly is the issue you are trying to raise sympathy about? Do you need a violin?

And oh by the way, the US is also one of the largest non-democracies in the world also.

Ah, blue pill, red pill. Why do so many choose blue? And as one of the "people" of these united States, I would love to imagine the world without the US.

Wow, almost $2.00 from every man, woman and child. Taken from the mouths of our poor to support some donkey that thinks we the people should be grateful they accept our money. Imagine.

Saudi Arabia doesnt allow its women to vote.It doesnt even allow its women to drive.It cuts off the head or limbs of those found guity of a certain crimes.Saudi doesnt allow political or human rights associations.It arbitrarily arrests & detains peaceful dissidents & uses undue force on demostrations.Homosexuality is punishable by death in Saudi.But the USA develops not just foot-and mouth disease at such but also eye-and ear disease.Its business with Saudi goes oilier by the day.Why threaten Nigeria with sanctions,aid cut,cancellation of presidential visits,etc,just because we refused to throw our moral,values and culture to the dogs?
