Why not just air drop food laced with sterilization drugs all over Africa? It would be the easiest way to stop this shite.
Imams in Nigeria forbade their people to give their kids the polio vaccine...said the vax was really a sterilization drug sent by evil Merica. Of course there was big outbreak.

Correct. There is no middle class. You're either rich or poor (understatement). I worked off the coast of Angola since 2013. We flew into Luanda then hopped another plane north to Cabinda then flew offshore from there.
Angola currently burns off enough natural gas from drilling operations to supply most of the continent because there is no infrastructure to 1) get the gas inland and 2) get it to the masses. The big 3 oil companies have paid massively to the Angolan government for drilling rights to the oil but the corrupt politicians just lined their pockets and didn't put it back into building a better country.
Worked off the coast of Nigeria for Shell in 2004 and 2005. We landed in Lagos (where the documentary was filmed) and it was jaw dropping the first time we landed. The ride from the airport to the Eko hotel in Lagos was an hour long and we'd go through villages just like you see. Makes you realize how much we take for granted here.

I have a good friend from Zambia.
Without getting too specific, he owned a company that imported heavy duty industrial construction equipment. It had to be imported because there’s ZERO manufacturing/production of this equipment in the entire fricking shithole of a continent.
After the tariffs and bribing to prevent his imports from being locked up indefinitely, the equipment often became prohibitively expensive.
So he started a new company to build/manufacture the equipment in Africa. That way it’d be cheaper and used more to build out infrastructure. Basically dreaming big to improve his lot and that of his country....
He’s now leveraged out to his last nickel and still taking on water. He estimates that 20% percent of his costs have gone toward bribes, bullshite permits, and bullshite fines. TWENTY PERCENT. No good deed goes unpunished.

Why'd you waste your precious 45 minutes? It's not like 5 minutes in you you didn't know what it was about.
