World fight over resources don't live in country where is a lot natural resource

[Hewlet]

As someone who's living in a country with so many natural resources, I can relate 💯 with what you're saying. Maybe you're even presenting this from a distance point of view and that's why you're considering leaving the country entirely. It's always a normal thing that host community to natural resources are always at war with neighbouring communities and leaving peacefully in an environment that's filled with natural resources is always a big issue because greedy politicians would normally want to chase indigins away so as to  take those resource all to themselves.

Of course, most rural indigenous people are always poor and wouldn't want to leave their community for any reason and most of them would prefer to die for their land instead of leaving it to strangers that are only after their resource.

It's the plight of most rural  African inhabitants and most have to leave in a war zone all their lives and watch their resource being taken away in front of them without knowing what and how to go about retrieving it.

[retreat]

If you said this to people in my country 350 years ago, most people in my country would have moved and looked for another country, because there were 3 colonial countries that colonized my country just to get our country's resources for more than 3 centuries. However, for now, this will not apply, in fact people will be more courageous to defend their country, because our economy is more advanced, the military is stronger, and the government is quite successful in managing resources - and this is used for economic progress and creating more jobs and business opportunities for citizens.
So it depends on the country, if the country is independent in managing its resources and is able to provide security and has an alliance that is ready to defend it, I think that there is no problem living in a country that is rich in natural resources like you said.

[0t3p0t]

Well, not a lot of people can afford or qualify to move to other countries, where resources are scarse. In any way a country rich in resources, normally do very well... but some governments exploit those resources for their own gain and not for it's citizens.

You need to look for a country where they use those resources to create a lot of jobs. Most of the countries export those resources to developed countries, where they manufacture goods and then sell those goods back to the under developed countries. 

 

This is what is currently happening around the world. Moving out of the country right now is not a priority for most of the people here in my country not unless you are in the upper middle class who can afford anytime they wanted.

About being in a country that is rich in natural resources well yeah that is the reason why we have disputes with neighboring countries. Exploration should be done right away for the good of our economy but we still depend on newer technology other countries have plus corruption is still rampant in the government that is why the people are the most affected with all this.

But resources aren't the whole story either.  Geopolitical power and history play their parts in why Russia is always looking to expand.  They see themselves as a major world player, and some of their leaders just plain want to control more territory and people, regardless of what resources are or arent there.  It's about ambition and ego as much as economics.

So yeah, complex situation.  No simple explanations for why Putin does what he does. Resources, land, power, pride...  The motivations are multifaceted.

One of the good reasons why Russia attacked Ukraine lies in the history of these two states. Russia likes to boast about its centuries-old history, but this is not true. To continue to boast of its greatness, Russia needs to have Ukraine as part of its membership. Part of the Russian lands, together with Moscow, were previously part of the powerful state of Kievan Rus with its center in Kyiv. Then the Muscovite kingdom or Muscovy was formed on these territories. Only under Tsar Peter the Great in the 1700s did the Muscovite kingdom begin to be called Russia. Thus, Russia has only a 300-year history, while Ukraine has more than a thousand years of history. Russians don’t even have the right to be called Russian, because Rus' is actually Ukraine. Putin understands this very well, which is why he seeks to take over Ukraine.

This is a contributing factor to corruption among officials but it is not the only reason.
When talking about anywhere in Africa we are talking about countries that have endured long years of colonization followed by wars, dictatorships and instability.
You are more familiar with the history but from what I know, Nigeria only gained its independence (not even full independence) in the 60's and then entered years of internal conflicts and civil wars until about 2000.
It is well expected to see corruption, economic hardship, less development, etc.

Now, imagine if Nigeria were a developed country like the United States of America or the United Kingdom. Do you really think there would be that exploitation or corruption happening at such a high level?

There is corruption everywhere. As for development, they are developed because they colonized others and stole their resources not because they didn't have any corruption!

Oh yes, I agree with you, Chief. In fact, there is no country on the surface of the Earth, whether in the Caribbean, European states, or even Africa, that has been proven to be entirely free of corruption. The only difference lies in the fact that some nations have managed to tame corruption to the point where it's less visible to the masses. As long as governments are run by people and not by God, there will always be some level of corruption. However, there are tools within the government structure to at least reduce or contain it to some extent, and I believe this is what's happening in more advanced parts of the world.

For instance, one way to manage corruption is for the government to ensure that its citizens enjoy the dividends of democracy. This includes providing basic amenities like electricity, healthcare, education, and food, as well as instilling a sense of belonging in the populace. When the people clamor for something, the government should respond, thereby alleviating their grievances.

Unfortunately, this is something we often lack, especially in many African countries, including Nigeria. Since gaining independence in the 1960s, Nigeria has faced numerous challenges, including military takeovers and civil war often influenced by Western powers. I believe Nigeria has the potential to overcome these challenges. Instead of relying on foreign aid and remaining under the control of neocolonialism, Nigeria could harness its abundant natural resources, human capital, and population to thrive independently.

I feel it's very important for the leaders of the nation to take responsibility and lead against all odds. Otherwise, countries across Africa will continue to languish under the shackles of neocolonialism.

it really is depends on how strong the government is at managing their own resources if they are diligent enough instead they will come across glory and treasures in managing their own resources.
if its full of corruption it will easily crumble everyone gonna try to get that piece of cake at the end of the day and this will only trigger conflict.
the thing that gonna keeps people inline are regulations and the governments system itself that's fair then it will keep away any conflicts since its fair enough so that everyone will at least feel that they can get the justice they deserved.
urging people to leave lands just because its resourceful is only when you are so sure have lack of manpower to defends the land but in modern countries nowadays almost all countries are sufficient enough in their defending.
so therefore its a bad advice where the bigger countries are trying to expand their influences over other countries just for the sake of resources.
its always whether the people in that land are brave enough to take on the risk and manage the resources themselves diligently or not in my opinion

[Strongkored]

Try to not live in country where is the a lot resources.

Sometimes staying in one's country even though there are many inequalities is a better choice than having to move to another country, because not everyone has the ability to move or even become a migrant worker. In fact, the opposite happens where they only become illegal workers who will face the threat of deportation if caught.
Countries with lots of natural resources are managed poorly and only benefit a few people, including officials who become corrupt, but if you persist and try to develop yourself then you can still live better in that country, and if you have the ability move would be a good thing to do, but it must be done with full calculation.
I have a cousin who initially worked as an illegal worker in another country until he was finally able to get a work permit but his life was normal in that country and I even think with his education he would still be better off staying in his country than moving to another country.

Emigration may not be a feasible option, especially for those who lack the financial means or qualifications to do so. This implies the importance of addressing issues within the country itself. The presence of natural resources can bring both opportunities and challenges. These resources have the potential to fuel economic growth and development, but disputes over ownership and exploration rights can arise, leading to tensions with neighboring countries. The country need effective management and equitable distribution of resources to ensure the benefit for the country as a whole.

The reliance on newer technologies from other countries implies the importance of investing in research and development domestically to enhance technological capabilities and reduce dependency on external sources. This can foster innovation, create job opportunities, and drive economic growth. Maybe all these theories are hindered by corruption within the government that exacerbates these challenges, because it undermines trust in institutions and hampers efforts to promote transparency and accountability.

[Kelward]

A country without natural resources and they're not technologically inclined will have a very poor economy, so they're not better of than countries that have natural resources and bad government that doesn't manage their resources well. So the best thing for anybody that falls into the category of people that suffers due to corruption and governments mismanagement in a country is to either relocate to a developed country where they can have a better life, or stay and try to better their standard of living. They should think outside the box and learn a skill that'll make their services relevant, if there's unrest in the country then they should find a way to migrate to a peaceful country and seek asylum.

[Negotiation]

Even if natural resources benefit the people under the supervision of a truly democratic government they cannot form the basis of sustainable development. Because the amount of natural resources is not infinite or eternal. Just as every material resource gets exhausted one day due to overuse so do natural resources. Therefore, an economy based solely on a particular mineral resource cannot guarantee sustainable development. But the knowledge-based economy guarantees sustainable development. Even if the economy is bad, people should save for the future and improve their standard of living.

Humans are considered resources, right? And I think overpopulation can be a reason to leave one's country.  When there are too many people, the job market becomes incredibly competitive, making it hard to find positions with good salaries. Many companies pay below minimum wage, yet people still desperately apply.

However, leaving your country isn't cheap.  Besides needing money, you also have to adapt to a new culture in your chosen destination.  Every place has its own way of life. Therefore, for many people, emigration is simply not a viable option. Additionally, even stronger countries face their own challenges, and life there might not necessarily be easier than living in a country with abundant natural resources.

I understand your point because in my state we have oil and gas and we expirenced such things, but that doesn't mean we will evaquate from the premises. Though there are alot of controversies surrounding the environment but we have been residing there for long. What can only happen is that state or local government where the oil and gas is sited should endeavour to settle with the oil and gas drilling company so that they will make provision of some things that the community is lacking, like electricity, pipe born water, good roads, Education and health care facilities, scholarship programs, skill acquisition training and many more. If this can be solved crisis will never come. Where the crisis comes is when the oil companies are drilling oil yet there is no sign of oil company working in that environment due to the corrupt leaders who have embessled the money given to them by the oil and gas industry.

Even the food oil gas and other natural resources.
Becouse nations and group of people fight over this.
And If you stay there you will be in the middle of the power greed and corruption.
Very wealthy people want always reaources to control and you live there when countries fight over resources it's like you are innocent person wrong place wrong time.

If you was born into risky country just look around If there is resources and good feritile land and good resources like oil then grow up and Leave right to way becouse sooner or later If your country not strong and stable like Canada or USA you run into problems wars and corruptions.
Don't be victim always check your surroundings and escape best countries will be stable consumers but not producers


But Also world is about who will work and who not work
Think about those who not wish to work they have a lot expenses to be paid that's one thing.
Even If all the oil or other natural resources they steal and take still not enough becouse once you have allready very expensive lifestyle you need more and you find out you run out of money.
Now that the banks tightening the money policiy more it will be harder for rich also now they need to let their company to do work with less money and less workers.

Nah, how about I live cozily in a country that doesn't economically shoots itself in the foot by not being economically sound?

Why would I choose a country that doesn't have resources, which in turn means they can't support their country financially without having to take loans to the IMF or whatever just like the United States, and look where it got them right now, seems like nukes and large daunting armies ain't going to feed itself huh? A lot of economically sustainable countries on the planet are considered war neutral as well. Iceland for one has got one of if not the best economy as of late, and they don't go out of their own way to prove their dominance, AFAIK they also have valuable resources on their territories but because they are practically invisible against the leering eyes of the rest of the world they remain evasive of every threat that some countries get from superpowers. So this all just means that it's not all about the resources, there are a lot of factors at play that forces the hand of a certain country, allowing them to choose conflict over diplomacy. Why would you choose to financially fuck yourself over by choosing a country with a subpar economy and state of living just so you can sleep well at night knowing the US isn't going to bomb your ass for your oil?

There is corruption everywhere. As for development, they are developed because they colonized others and stole their resources not because they didn't have any corruption!

I agree that corruption exists in almost all the countries of the world. But some nations claim to be saints and are always the first to call other countries corrupt. And they can achieve this diversion strategy because they control a large quota of the most influential media houses. These controlled media houses will always give less coverage to the systematic corruption that happens within while issues in other nations receive headlines in all their news outlets. Many corruption cases involving some multinationals from some wealthy nations in Africa will not receive the right media attention because these nations claim to be incorruptible. Some of the biggest corruption cases we have experienced in my country was carried out in partnership with some corrupt individuals or corporations in some developed nations.

Nobody chooses where they are born, some people win big on the lottery of life and are born in richer countries, but unfortunately many are born into less stable countries. There are also some very rich countries like Saudi Arabia that have managed to harness their resources, but admittedly they have been able to hold on to it because the power was very concentrated in the hands of a few families who did not let go or get overthrown. However if you look at Nigeria, that country is very chaotic and many people have to fend for themselves in society, because the politicians are so fleeting they will happily disappear with money instead of putting in long term changes for the benefit of all.
