Nigeria: How to Engage the West and Win

When I was much younger, I used to think that the White race has developed to such a level that its people no longer lie or cheat or obtain other peoples' things by foxy-cunning, bare-faced thievery or anything close to stealing under false pretences. But now with maturity and greater wisdom, I have come to the understanding that Whites lie, not just like other races, but even more than others for they sometimes add to their own lies and dishonesty, open robbery.

They do not just say the untruth to obtain other people's goods and possessions, they are so greedy and desperate that they sometimes do not mind to slaughter mass of people in order to have access to other peoples' resources that they covert and consider strategic to the survival of their economies. They launder their rapaciousness under the pernicious doctrine of 'national interest'. And because they dominate the world at the moment, they often employ the United Nations to give their dastardly acts a veneer of legality, morality or civilised conduct. But any unjust or immoral conduct carried out by any other name would smell as odious. Sometimes, they do not even bother about any niceties at all: they just by pass the UN, the WTO and other 'world' institutions they themselves have set up to legitimise some of their ungodly conduct and march on like old-fashioned colonialists to subdue and subjugate other peoples to their imperial rule and proceed to help themselves of what God has given to those usually poor and helpless people.
