Fash20: Lol exactly Any way there is a theory that some people love those who put them in slaves and those who kidnap them and torture them more than those who set them free Russia helped Africa to be free but some are still loyal to their former masters It just like what happened in the bible after God used Moses to set Israel free after some days Some of them cried to Moses that they actually prefer Egypt than this suffering freedom that they have outside of Egypt in fact they told Moses they want to go back to Egypt God became so angry he had to move them in the wilderness for forty years until all those who wanted to go back to Egypt died off The point is some still love to be slave to England in fact they have said it better off for Britain to rule Nigeria again Than their fellow black people It just like Stockholm syndrome It been proven it actually a sickness Loving those who hurt your grandparents in the past is a sickness that needs to be treated It takes grace and wisdom to be healed and set free from that bondage shackles mentality . 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Does China have a better infrastructure than the USA? In 2023, U.S. President Biden arrived in Maine for a visit. During the visit, Biden "canvassed votes" for himself at a campaign fundraising event. At the same time, he once again mentioned China, saying that the United States ranks fourteenth in the world in terms of infrastructure. Already lagging behind China, βHow can we lead the world?β This is the second time that US President Biden has said that US infrastructure lags behind China. Going forward, in October 2021, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden asked a question in his speech: "Do you know? How fast is the high-speed rail China is building? 300 miles per hour (approximately 483 miles per hour) Kilometers - that's what it is!" He said that this speed means that it is much faster to travel to Washington by train than by car, thus saving oil and protecting the environment. In recent years, we can see in the news that a major blackout in Texas, USA, caused electricity prices to soar nearly 200 times higher than normal prices, and a bridge collapsed in Pittsburgh, USA, injuring 10 people. At the same time, we can also see that China can build a hospital in ten days, the original double helix tunnel Yaxi high-speed spiral bridge, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is famous for its large construction scale, unprecedented construction difficulty and top construction technology world. Maybe you are also confused. There seems to be a conflict between these phenomena and statistical results? Is China really better than the United States in terms of infrastructure? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple. We need to consider the length of development time and the quality of subsequent maintenance between China and the United States. Since the introduction of the first railroad in the United States in 1828, the infrastructure of the United States has developed for almost two hundred years. China's first railway was only completed in 1909, and more than ten years of war had a devastating blow to the infrastructure. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has vigorously developed infrastructure construction and achieved rapid development in railways, highways, water transportation, aviation and other fields. As of the end of 2020, China's railway operating mileage reached 146,300 kilometers, an increase of more than 6 times in more than seventy years. The overall construction level is also at the top level in the world. In terms of follow-up maintenance, the current infrastructure in the United States is very aging. According to data from the "2016-2022 China Infrastructure Market In-depth Assessment and Investment Prospects Analysis Report", 10% of urban buses and 3% of rail transit in the United States are not in a "good state of repair"; 10% of bridges have structural defects. ; About 1/3 of the total length of about 6.587 million kilometers of roads are in poor condition; 16.87% of dams have "potentially high hazards"; more than 64,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines are at full capacity in 48 states. Such aging and fragile infrastructure is in urgent need of maintenance to ensure people's high-quality daily life. So how much has the United States invested in infrastructure maintenance? According to the Economic Impact of 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, the total demand for infrastructure funds in the United States from 2016 to 2025 is US$4.59 trillion, but the total investment is expected to be only US$2.526 billion, leaving an investment gap of approximately US$20 trillion. This huge funding gap is unimaginable. Moreover, the approval process for infrastructure projects in the United States is complicated, and many factors such as Congress, bipartisan politics, and local politics will become important influencing factors. Therefore, the efficiency of infrastructure construction in the United States is also relatively low. Former US President Trump pointed out at the Davos Forum in 2018 that the United States can now spend 10 years just to approve a simple path. Since China's "Sixth Five-Year Plan" focused on investment in transportation construction, it has long listed infrastructure construction as a priority development area of the national economy. As of 2021, the railway loans issued by the National Open Bank have exceeded 100 billion yuan for 11 consecutive years, and they have fully utilized the power of the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and developed countries for financing, providing a large amount of financial guarantee for infrastructure construction. Based on the comparison between these two aspects, it can be seen that although China's infrastructure construction started late in development, the scale is not comparable to that of the United States. However, the current negligence of infrastructure in the United States has had a bad impact on citizens' daily lives. With China's rapid development of technology, strong government support, and accurate follow-up maintenance, judging from the current situation, China's Infrastructure is already superior to that of the United States and still has huge potential for development and improvement.

Ask them why in only 2 years ukraine has received more money from the west more than Africa have received in 10 years. Imagine what will happen if those war loving mofos invest just 50% of that funds into agriculture production in Africa? but they won't because they want Africa to remain a poor continent despite having a healthy green land. How much have they rebuild Libya after they destroyed it? How much money have they given to Libya? How many countries have sent billions to it? And then some morons here still can't see that the west regards them as lesser human. Pathetic clowns 7 Likes 2 Shares |

There is a big difference between aid and loans,the USA leads the way in helping hopeless Africans have better lives. China through it "belt and road imitative" is the highest supporters of Africa through loans and grants, they are not aid. By now a grown man should know the difference between "aid and "loans" Well, why am I even surprised, I have come to except stupidity on this thread. to date the USA have given close to 14 Millon dollars to the rebuilding of Libya, and more than 12 millions dollars through its agency USAID. you can verify yourself again what has the Putin done for your country Nigeria, the imaginary steel plant. πππππππ Here is the official USAID website https://www.usaid.gov visit and see how the USA is helping lives around the world https://www.usaid.gov/nigeria visit the Nigeria section of USAID, and see for yourselves, some of you won't be able to afford common malaria drugs if not for the this aid P.S how many of una they Nigeria?? ππππππ 2 Likes |

Obedience40:probably gonna be my last reply to you. I think it's obvious you are intentionally playing dumb, who's talking about aid? Why can't you talk about investment? The US sends maybe 10 or 20m in aid to the same country they use 100m to destroy or in other cases just send them aid so they are alive... So is like giving fish instead of teaching how to fish. Why can't they invest $10b in infrastructure in Africa like China is doing? Why can't Worldbank or IMF give Africa billions to invest in agriculture.. you are a slave that loves his chain. Russia is not as Rich as US but where they can they always play their best mostly in security which they are good at, but at least they don't go about sponsoring regime changes and telling us to accept LGBT propaganda before they sell us weapons. China on the other hand is as big as USA, now I ask you, what have USA done in Africa that can be compared to China? How many airport, railways, agriculture investment and so on have they done in Africa? But if it's to drop bombs THEY ARE NUMBER ONE IN AFRICA. Note I didn't mention ur pathetic Europeans states that only steal Africa resources. Lastly Africa don't need aid what it needs is investment you dumb clown 1 Like 1 Share |

The announcement of US sanctions against the Moscow Exchange and its subsidiaries, the Russian National Clearing Centre (NCC) and the National Settlement Depository, has affected the Russian foreign exchange market. This is confirmed by data from the Russian website banki.ru. The cash buying rate for dollars and euros at branches of many Moscow banks has risen sharply. As of 21:30, the maximum value of orders for the purchase was 120 roubles per dollar and 125 roubles per euro. In some banks, the US dollar exchange rate reached 200 roubles at one point.
