@whitfieldlewis6@PhumlaniMMajozi MD, no one’s arguing for isolation — that’s a strawman. Trade & selective migration can be good. But flooding a country with 32.7% unemployment (60.9% youth) isn’t efficient “exchange”. Nigeria lost 4k+ doctors in 2024 alone. Sowell backs controlled immigration, not open borders.
@whitfieldlewis6@PhumlaniMMajozi calling people idiots for noticing downsides doesn't make your point smart, it just skips the trade-offs.
Yes, trade and movement of people can be mutually beneficial in theory. No one serious says all exchange of human resources is a net negative.
@benwyse11@PhumlaniMMajozi Your people aren't empty-handed when they come, many hustle hard, respect. But acting like we must absorb unlimited pressure while our own struggle? That's the real intellectual myopia.
Fix your governance so your doctors and engineers stay and build Nigeria. We'll fix ours. Deal
