Financial Times pretends to be shocked that Nigeria adopts the US/UK playbook (1)

See this official FT leader

Especially this bit

In the US and the UK the government cronies include badly regulated giant banks getting cheap money …then over charging legitimate business and ordinary people ….failing to reward savers properly.

The banks are effectively arbitrage ripoff artists that add little value.

Same in Britain and the US …why produce anything when you can just insert yourself into markets and take an unfair cut of the action?

Also BAE, Northrop Grumman, Airbnb, Uber, Google, Meta, Starbucks …etc etc

The US is misusing its reserve currency at an unprecedented level in global history to enrich its already-bloated oligarchs …where is the FT story on that?

Of course colonialistic FT is quick to recommend policies for Nigeria it’s unwilling to recommend for the downtrodden taxpayers of the US and Britain.

Deep sigh.

The FT complicity in the worldwide bulldust is revealed in the opinion piece right next to the Nigeria leader.

The FT can’t claim ignorance when its own columnist is calling out the bad behavior:

Inept states are also the fruit of bad press.
