Yes I believe you are right. It is a proven fact that it is not possible to build a stable plant foundation on terrain which is mostly shit, ie a shithole.

[Rebelbase]

Don’t be so coarse. It’s a highly fecalized environment.

Probably the same reason Apple isn’t building in Detroit.

That’s Detroit for you. However, Apple did announce it will be building iPhones near the new Foxconn ultra-hires flat screen plant in Racine Wisconsin.

I've never visited West Africa but I've traveled extensively in East Africa and southern Africa and what I saw there explains why no major company (except,perhaps,an oil company or a mining company) would ever set up shop there.

The reason,distilled down to one word,is "primitive".

[Boogieman]

Hello American friend!

I am General Nbueleke Bzuteli from Nigeria! Recently I have acquired a contract from Samsung for $450,000,000 (FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION) USD to build state of art smartphone factory in beautiful country of Nigeria. I would like to share this windfall with you my friend, if only you can send me your personal bank account details to accept transfer of these funds.

[Thibodeaux]

Either build the factory and pay corrupt everybodies, or leave the market.

Nigerians are bigger crooks than Koreans...... Samsung is corrupt to the core

[US_MilitaryRules]

Primitive? lol You’re close but it sounds more like **ithole!

[x]

... smartphones made in Nigeria would be more expensive than those imported from Korea.

And yet, Kia and Hyundai, Korea auto companies, assemble cars in Nigeria (as do Ford, Peugeot, Honda, and Nissan). It's a recent development.

Nigeria has its own cellphone companies. There will be ups and downs, but it's not a sure thing that Nigeria won't develop their own telecommunications industry.

LOL

[Vinnie]

47% can't read.. Add cursive to that and I'll bet the percentage goes to 70% or more.

[Steven Tyler]

Yup, rhymes with bithole

[I want the USA back]

Corrupt government. Forget it.

“We cannot build there because it is, ummmm, a shithore. So solly.”

Yeah, that too.

[Maskot]

But the official graduation records say they DID graduate, I’m guessing.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I would bet that the main reason is that there are little property rights protections, high crime, and dangerous Muslim terrorists in the country.

[higgmeister]

And I find some comfort in that.
