Nigera Appreciation Day

Welcome Nigeria to our Virtual Hall of Appreciation. Had I money like the Nigerian oil elite, I would build a Hall of Appreciation for my many appreciations, but I do not have any oil money and my attempts to scam the Nigerian oil elite have not resulted in any financial gain. Enough politics.

Oh Nigeria - sung to the tune of Oh Canada -- we appreciate your great forests of balsa, pine, conifer, poplar, mdf, pulp pine, bamboo and olive. Sorry, the great Sequoia transplant experiment did not work. The underclass could have benefited from such a lumber income, usually the spoils of the military in third world countries.

Note: This blog offers the themes (and related themes) of Internet scamming -- scammers being educated and most likely disaffected -- and the oil elite, fat, violent and corrupt. What is their relationship? This blog offers this as a literary theme and PHD thesis. If there are novels or other literary treatments of this theme -- I'm to lazy to look it up -- by the way, what's the plural for requiem? -- I only ask for an acknowledgement.

Nigeria may you solve your oil crisis, stock your rivers and streams with plump fish, reforest where necessary, groom your public parks and for god sakes don't buy any textbooks from Texas. They think slavery was Club Med for three centuries!
