Difficult or not, institutional change should be the ultimate goal. The reason Nigeria's electricity supply is spotty is not lack of foreign aid it's the way oil revenues have (not) been invested over the years. Oil revenue allocation is an "institution."
Nicely done. You complied a lot of information in a concise article. The argument from Blinken (BTW, Rubio is so bad he almost makes Blinken look good) about China in Nigeria is typical US politics; do not say what US assistance does for you, but complain about another partner which is a way of suggesting to Nigerians that they dont know what they are doing (not a good message).
Unfortunately the US is on self-destructive path and it doesn’t look like it’ll stop soon. We need powerful progressive leftist governments to lead the world over the next few decades. This also looks unlikely.
What’s probably going to happen is that the poor will die, the richest will live comfortably, and everyone who survives until the end of the decade will remember this time as another dark period in human history. Humanity will move on soullessly.
