I believe increased Internet use Will create jobs Will decrease crude oil consumption
Nigerians are not the primary consumers of their own oil. No oil producing nation is.
The president of Nigeria already has 126k fans on facebook http://www.facebook.com/jonathangoodluck and 1700 comments for each of his daily posts. That's impressive considering that his account is just a couple of months old.
That's small consolation to him; his brother, former president of Nigeria, died last year leaving several million dollars behind. They are currently trying to recover them through the aid of western citizens.
Millions of Nigerians work honest jobs to feed and educate their children. It's hard enough that they have to live through the negative stereotype caused by less than 0.1% who are bad guys.
Think about that for a second.

That's a very uncharitable comment. Millions of Nigerians work honest jobs to feed and educate their children. It's hard enough that they have to live through the negative stereotype caused by less than 0.1% who are bad guys. Think about that for a second.
Jokes rarely are. It's a joke and as such it shouldn't be taken seriously.
> Millions of Nigerians work honest jobs to feed and educate their children.
Nobody is implying otherwise.

It's hard to appreciate the other party's POV unless you've lived through the stigma of prejudice that's perpetuated by jokes such as yours.
That said, it's okay. Your comment shows you didn't mean any malice so as an implicit apology, it is accepted.

Dude - I know you meant it as a joke but it is still uncharitable.

You've had personal experience with stigma for being Nigerian because people you talk to think you’re a scammer? Willing to share/elaborate?

Put North Korea on the map!
It would probably be 0, or 1. Apparently in Cambodia it is only 70,000 or so, the lowest I found from quickly looking at "bad" countries. Iran has millions! Even Cuba has plenty. Must be sad to live in North Korea.

I read that Iranian-Americans are the most educated immigrants -- or one of the most according to the census. It makes sense that they would be technologically advanced.
But if these people have access to the entire internet, then I am slightly confused.
