Who decided you were a 3rd world country?. Why are you a 3rd world country?. What is a 3rd world country?. Did you have representation in the room where it was decided. Answer these questions, & you’ll be getting on your way to really understanding Nigeria’s current situation &

Until you understand the Bretton Woods agreement, the Neoliberal world order & how these things happened. You’ll never understand your place in the world. You’ll keep imagining you know what’s happening when you don’t. This is going to be very very long. Bc it’s very important.

Nigeria gained independence (Self administration is the right phrase) in 1960. We are not independent at all. Bc our new found independence came preinstalled with agreements & systems that don’t favor us as a country. We never had a say in this deals, we just inherited them.

But 1960 is far. Let’s go back to 1944, the end of WWII. The Bretton woods agreements . These are the agreements that created the predatory organizations, the IMF & the world Bank. In case you need someone to tell you this,If you’re not in a room when agreements are being made

& that deal somehow affects you, you will get screwed.That’s a maxim for deal making. You want as much representation in the room where deals are being made. That’s why people have a team of lawyers look at deals several times.Well, we inherited a deal designed to screw all but

the winners of WWII. After the war, the world got divided into 3 groups.The winners, the losers & those who didn’t participate.Those who won created systems that allowed them to exploit the world, build their wealth,military & economic strength while weakening their enemies

Or keep them In a state that was easy to exploit for the benefit & interests of the winners. So here are the winners,Russia, Britain, France, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. Losers, Germany, Italy, Japan. Much of the world played supporting roles on each side. Some didn’t

Stay with me.This is the important part & you’ll understand later. The Russians had their socialist ideology, AKA a country’s resources & Labor force should be nationalized & used to build the country, so everyone benefits from the wealth. Americans believed the opposite…..

They believed resources should be owned by private individuals who should control all the wealth & labour & accumulate as much wealth as they can. Now here’s the thing both systems have issues.But the American ideology has one inherent flaw, it runs on insatiable greed.

Now here’s the thing America was the new world power for a few years after the war bc it had a nuke & the old world powers died in WWII. America was throwing its weight around & expanding its “sphere of influence”. Until russia got a nuke too. Then the game changed. Anyways ….

Back to the topic.America & its Allies had a little Berlin conference 2.0 & divided the world into 1st,2nd & 3rd world countries.1st world are the capitalist democracies of US & Western Europe,2nd world countries being Soviet bloc & its Allies. 3rd world being unaligned countries

Unaligned meaning they neither aligned with communist or Capitalist ideology Or they didn’t have any stake in the war & didn’t participate. Most of Africa was colonial property of Europe during the wars & so now as independent countries most weren’t aligned YET. Keep this in mind

Ask yourself though. Why was it the capitalist democracies that came up with this classification & what was its purpose.Why wasn’t it the Russians or communists?. Why? Ask why. Here’s the thing, the US & it’s Allies wanted to spread their ideology as far as possible, why?

if you’re sleeping, wake up. This part is important. Capitalism like I said runs on unbridled greed. It’s profit for profit sakes, it has to keep taking & find a way to profit more & more. The capitalism the US & it’s Allies we’re pushing wasn’t just talking about privatizing …

American resources & labor, it was talking about privatizing everyone’s resources, everywhere on earth & beyond if they could. AKA everything should be owned by a few people, typically Americans. Every resource, including land & water should be owned by private individuals.

Since it chases profit, it has to keep taking & looking for ways to take, even if it belongs to other people. What does this system mean for America? Well, if you find a way to privatize the resources in a country with a lot of resources, the profit flows to the American economy.

So when they tell you a country is communist, remove sentiment & remember that it simply means that the country refused to let private interests take control of the common wealth of the country.Separate economics from system of govt & sentiments. So now you have a clearer picture

Let me explain the 1st,2nd,3rd world thing again, 1st & 2nd already have ideologies. 3rd world countries mostly former colonies in Africa, South America & Asia were not aligned yet. & so the US wanting to spread its sphere of influence by any means possible.

Remember sphere of influence, meaning capitalism.Forcing a country to accept capitalism means giving 🇺🇸 companies access to your resources,grow 🇺🇸 economy at the detriment of the country & its people. They’re not preaching capitalism& democracy bc they like you or care about you

It’s all about their interest. Here’s the thing. It wasn’t really a choice. you’ve seen movies & they told You socialists are bad & evil. Lol. They’re no more evil than capitalists. Bc however many people socialists killed for ideology,capitalists have killed more for profit.

Difference is that capitalists do the killing in other countries for access to their resources or force capitalism on them,they forment civil war, funds conflicts, arm terrorists.Whatever they need to do to get your resources. Like I said capitalism isn’t a choice, it’s by force

Democracy is a farce. YOUESSAY has never once cared about democracy. It’s only acceptable when it ensures capitalism & 🇺🇸 corporations getting access to your resources.If you democratically vote for socialism,that’s not allowed & they’ll try to topple it.Listen to Kissinger

Your democracy must serve the US first & foremost or you’re automatically an enemy & you’ll have terrorist, rebels, coups all funded & planned by the YOUESSAY to ensure capitalism. Nationalists are also branded as terrorists, bc putting your country’s interest before 🇺🇸 is bad

So now that you understand that. Countries in Asia, Africa & S.America fresh out of colonialism were trying to develop & catch up with the world, use their resources to build their countries.YOUESSAY says “I can’t allow that,I need your resources to build my country”. So, Nope

So this countries align with the world power that will let them build their countries. But like I said, capitalism is by force & if you think you’re practicing capitalism by choice, try socialism & you’ll realize you’ve always had a gun to your head. You don’t have a choice.

And as they align with Russia, YOUESSAY starts funding terrorists, coups, rebels all over the place.Chile,Nicaragua,Guatemala,Angola,Nigeria,Congo,Tibet, Panama,Vietnam. Ask yourself,what do all the murdered “African dictators” have in common & why weren’t other murdered.

They realized that their countries were operating on systems whose key feature was the exploitation of their country’s resources. They refused the system & the rest is history. Both economic & monetary systems. They realized something was very wrong. System was rigged.

Here’s the purpose of the 3 world classification. -3rd world countries - extract raw materials & unprocessed resources.(low income) -2nd world, cheap labor & processing industries.(Low-middle income) -1st world -Finished products,technology, software.(High income).

They created a system, where the net benefits of the system flowed upwards to them.A few people in country got Rich, but everyone else got poor. As the profits glowed out of your country to their. Let me give an example of this so you understand it clearly. Take Apple for example

The raw material to build the iPhones comes from Nigeria & Congo.Lithium & cobalt. Extracted illegally, by artisanal miners paid Pennies. Shipped as raw material out of Nigeria, processed into batteries in China,the screen & parts else are assembled in 🇨🇳 cheaply.

The finished product is shipped to the US where the firm ware is installed & then sold back to Nigeria for millions. You see how everyone was exploited in one way or the other, but one person got the most profit ?. Well the system was created to work that way. That’s capitalism.
