    A land that is full of resources and has the potential to be one of the best Pacific Island countries will attract more advanced nations to dig in.
    Government is in a better position on deciding what's best for their own country rather than letting another decide what's best for their own.

    Heard about Vanuatu for the first time when my company's partner proposed that we start promoting Vanuatu's "Citizenship Investment".
    At first I thought the idea of selling citizenship of a faraway island is unheard of and nobody would be interested.
    Realized later that if they're putting citizenship up for sale, that means anyone with huge funds can eventually buy and own a lot of property there despite never going there in person. The islanders who live a simple life will be more and more constrained if this get out of hand.

    to make it worse the kids who are buying the "candies" are mostly from china who will likely colonize and look for your resources to be exploited

Them being poor but also being happy and respectable people makes you all look grubby and pathetic by saying that they’re fools for letting China take over and how the country will be under Indonesian control.

The Ni-vanuatu are people just like everyone other ethnic group in this world and they are good humans at that, they deserve to have their country to themselves without any outside influence.

      8 The God of Israel is different from the god of the Arabs around Israel. And our God is different from the god of the churches which are around us. And these Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, and all those that you see around us, they are Iraqis, Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Pakistanis and Arabs around us. Israel, it is the valley of the prophets and a son of God follows a living prophet because the prophet is the mouth of God on earth. The Bible is the book of the books of the prophets and a child of God cannot live outside of a living prophet. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. [Kc.114v20]
      9 Put these things into practice and I say that those spirits that you took from them in the past will be sent back to them. And in the Name of Jesus-Christ, it will be so! Have a mastery of this subject: "the transfer of spirits". Burn those false bibles and the devil will know that he has no portion with you. Let those men know that you are not in the same dimension.

    6 During my last open-air preaching which goes back to early 2004, I was seized by the collars before that furious crowd, the board on which I noted the verses had been broken in small pieces, and they nearly threw us into the lagoon. At their head was a Baptist pastor. Several brethren were there. Brigands with earrings, some Catholics, some Protestants and evangelicals, others under the anointing… Even policemen who should spare us excited the crowd against us. My megaphone was taken for the third time but the Grace of God prevailed and we left alive. And it is always that way…

    The will of God for your salvation is not what your family or everyone else does around you, but it is what the living prophet of your time tells you. You were born alone and be aware that one day, you will die alone and also, you will go to judgment before God alone. Neither your father nor an pastor , or anyone else will answer for you. But God who is just will send a prophet in your lifetime, to show you the way to heaven, just as before you, He also sent prophets to show the way to heaven to generations before you.
