      And whether he tried to or not, he really made America look pathetic for complaining about how we disagree in politics. There are real issues around the world, and we’re over here acting like we have it rough. This song and video is amazing. We need more of these from people around the world calling to their issues they have in their own countries!

So it feels like crime is all around. But also works as.. people feeling like they're being treated as criminals even tho they're obeying the law.. the international assumptions about Nigerians due to the Nigerian prince scams.. And also as a lack of trust in each other, even those who aren't criminal are treated with suspiscion just incase..

      Africa could be the leading continent of the planet if its leaders, once in power didn't only think about themselves, their bank accounts and their families, but had for only main thoughts the future of their countries.
      It's with such leaders that Asia has risen to give such numerous economical powers (China, India, Taiwan, Corea, Malaysia, Turquey, Iran, Singapour, etc...)
      As long as each african leader that takes the power at the place of the previous one will only care about cashing as much as possible before beeing ejected too (and so forth, beeing bribed and used as a puppet by the current super powers, and multinational corporations), Africa will just keep beein in its current state...
