Great European and American carbon emitters

No one said that

@jjtajts build wells by the cheap Somali labor and sell them. They get water, you get money, the buyer gets a source of income. As demand increases, price and profit increases and this pushes other people in the community to compete and invest in water purification or wells development, and available water resources would increase. I've just given you an example out of thousands, and at a village scale

They developed by emitting carbon for centuries, and we suffer + denied the right to emit carbon to develop ourselves so that we can not emit (go green) later

@mwanikimwaniki6801 btw, I'm an ethiopian, I've studied many problems in Africa from addis ababa university professors and I am experiencing them. Education should be available to all, what I'm saying is that government should subsidize until 8th grade, since they Don't have enough resources. Then people can develop themselves by seeing their own potentials and if they don't have potentials, they can work in manufacturing factories, which only needs basic education. Start small like Singapore or Bangladesh

@mwanikimwaniki6801 this is what I mean brother. People in ethiopia study engineering and work as cashier. This is terrible, they wasted 5 years of hard work and studying. If they just studied something else, like how to build dams, china and Italy wouldn't be involved in the construction of the grand ethiopian renaissance dam. And the government pushes for excess education, which results in years being lost in college without any benefit, only students who had hope

@davidz3879 what would knowing that I'm from a stupid ape do to me? This is driving students out of schools, why not just avoid these studies and focus on educating them how to make photovoltaics and make solar energy for the country, and use the energy to operate factories to increase exports and employ people, so that they can educate their children even better, so that they can learn how to make semiconductors of solar power. This is how sustainable development works

@soumyadeeproy8936 this is not what I said, and this is not a dumb idea either. Indeed, those who emitted carbon the most should pay for it. It starts with factories and cars

@davidz3879 not necessarily. We, Africans, shouldn't invest too much in education, rather just until 8th grade, then they can be literate and more productive. Next generation would study more years more effectively with available educated somali work force. And education shouldn't go against religion, you can just pull darwinism and sex Ed from textbooks and everyone would want to send their children to school, darwinism can't make us money

@mwanikimwaniki6801 Kenya has the potential to educate. Are all educated people employed by their fields? If so then this is good. You can read my comment again, I'm saying that they have to educate with available resources. Somalia is significantly poorer than Kenya, they have to invest in lower education and start manufacturing, then after gaining more resources, educate higher. Thise who have the potential should be able to study upto PhD

@amrabdellatif9956 seriously? Who would go to school then? You're leading to a destructive destination, then asking "why are they mad?"

@mwanikimwaniki6801 it's engineering, yes. The government is pushing for education and not using the educated workforce, these engineers are mostly Italians and Chinese. The government should either improve the education, so that ethiopians can get good jobs, or tell us to study other fields with demand in ethiopia. In rural regions, they are not told these things, they think they could just learn engineering and go to addis ababa and get a job. Please, sir, understand me, education is important, but it should be used very wisely, for you, not against you

@mwanikimwaniki6801 do you know that most Nigerians never invest or go back to their countries? They go to the us and they start their life their, they buy homes in the us, they completely forget about their country. Poor Nigeria invests in educated workforce for rich America. Do you know that there is a problem in economics called overinvestment, or malinvestment? Yes, you might be investing, but not investing well

@sharwama992 thnx

@CaptainHalodude who said they need it? And it isn't genetically proved, plus it is a waste of time we can use to add other more important subjects. The reason I'm saying education until 8th grade, it because there is no enough resources and educated teachers to educate everyone until university. Education improvement should be gradual. If government only invests in education, who would employ the educated work force? Getting out of the country is Subsidizing foreign countries. If your investment got outside, you're effectively Subsidizing other country with your investment.

@mwanikimwaniki6801 I hope, education is indeed very promising, our governments should be enabling us to work in national projects, rather than employing Chinese peoples (with all respect to China).

@fingerinmynose4826 which part? Prove it

@vivianfire it's economically not viable for poor countries, if it is, then poor countries would always use green energy, like ethiopia where 97 percent of it's electricity is green because of large hydroelectric potential

@davidz3879 no one? Mighty nato power is aiding Ukraine, that's more than enough

These problems? Have you ever seen a real world map?

@fingerinmynose4826 then who is stopping you?

@soumyadeeproy8936 yes, these countries invested in education gradually, this is what im saying. Singapore went from agriculture to manufacturing to services by gradually increasing spending on education and Healthcare. You can't go to Somalia for example, and try to educate everyone nuclear science. Education is gradual, higher education needs higher resources investments. And being from smarter country doesn't make you smarter than me. I was a social science student and was considered from the top 2 percent of all social science students in 2021 ethiopia, out of hundreds of thousands of students.

@devondivine1083 prayer is better than laughing. And if it is the same for you, why are you concerned?

@a564-c3q it's aid which is devastating us. Aids give governments incentives to not develop. No aids means corrupt and incompetent government falling by revolutions, fixing the economy in the long run Those leaders who take aids for themselves become loyal to others, not their peoples, even in democratic systems, where lobbying dominates politics

I'm an ethiopian. I know that God blessed every place on earth, but I think that Africa was less blessed

@neal.karn-jones hope in life, which pushes us to work and live, rather than committing suicide
2
1found1 this is only to Christians, when you speak about all religions, it's hope
2
@neal.karn-jones what difference does it make anyway if you are an atheist?
2
Not really. Maybe it's better to gradually stop sending aids. Although Somalia has enough potential for agriculture and livestock rearing, they are ruled by incompetent and corrupt governments. And the only way to remove these governments is by revolutions. And revolutions either don't occur or succeed if aids are present, which helps these governments to stay in power and be loyal to their people, rather than aid givers
2
@Tracer2619 it's too late. They invaded in the past and exacerbated the Somali conflict. The us should just stop being obsessed with invasions

@davidz3879 "aiding" that's what I said
