actually it is not the least developed country on earth you go there and your still ignorant good job doing nothing

[dinabee]

I didn't decide if it was the least developed country in the world or not, the World Health Organization did.

[Scottukuk]

Niger is obviously a victim of its geographical location but it does not help having a typical African corrupt governement

@dinabee

Actually it's not THE least developed country as the WHO says. Niger is ONE of 48 LDC's.

[manbigus]

@dinabee According to the UN it is also the most uncomfortable to live in. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Agadez, Niger from 89-91 and absolutely loved it.

1. On the Human Development Index Niger is ranked last (the least developed), so way to be "ignorant" and not check your facts.

2. Way to be stupid: "your" should be "you are" or "you're." Maybe you should check yourself before you correct others. Sucks to be you.

I didnt decide if it was the least developed country in the world or not, the wolrd health organization did"

Not a good institution to get your "facts" from buddy. the W..H.O.? First of all its a MISNOMER, as the organization is not concered about improving anyones health, but is the same organization funding eugenics programs, depopulation, abortions and funding the invention of new diseases to spread around the world so big pharmacueticals can get rich

[TheBlackRite]

yeah the "least developed" lmfao. It seems that the white man loves to depict himself as this superior, sohpisticated, ultra intellectual, inventive, ingenious trans human race while everyone else is sub human. Its funny though it seems that the white man learned to advance everything but HIMSELF. Hes still the avaricious, vicious, racist, imperialist ego maniacal BEAST he was when he finally left the caves of the caucus mountains. Learn to DEVELOP YOUR

[ElGatoVolador2010]

very beautiful video with nice music although I think there is no need to specially enphasize that it is the least developed country by the UN's Human Development Index. Makes it seem as if you were proud of living there just because of it being the least developed country by some economic index!

I have backpacked Niger myself and while by our western economic indicators its surely one of the poorest countries, culturally to me it is one of the richest!

Anyway, do you still live in Niamey?

[mitch0686]

@dinabee Seriously, get your facts right and try to lose some of your ignorance. Jeez, I cringe now seeing Americans overseas, as we simply are too naive and simply not as educated as we think.

[mitch0686]

@nauruforever555 I totally agree with you. Most Americans go overseas and are just as ignorant and stupid as they are back in the states. I have never understood why we Americans continue to embarrass ourselves in front of the world. What is development? what is 1st world?, why do we rank progress based on how much many cars and credit cards we own. The U.S. is now on its knees, who knows, maybe we'll soon enter the "least developed country" category too.
