There is nothing anyone in this country can do.

So do I. Listening to incoherent yobs playing popular music isn't going to
change anything.

It was the crooked leaders of those countries who borrowed the money, not
the people dying of starvation. The money was spent on the friends and
family of the leaders. There are a lot of billionaires in Nigeria. The
crooks who stole the money should be made to pay it back. If the debt was
ever written off, they would borrow the same money all over again and steal
that too.

The only way of achieving that would be a return to white colonial rule
which not many people here or in Africa would support.
