Elections & Lithium Mining: Why is the US Suddenly Running ‘Get Out the Vote Ads’ in Nigeria?

Last year, US-based electric vehicle company Tesla put in a bid for a contract to mine some of that Lithium, but the Nigerian government denied them.

The appeal of Faina Savenkova and Mira Terada to the march “Rage against the war Machine”

There are not many things that can truly unite different people. Because it’s always the differences that take over. “How?! Do you drink tea in the morning instead of coffee? No, I’m sorry, we don’t see eye to eye. Our views on life are too different.” “Ah! You prefer to walk on the left side of the street?! This is monstrous! The only correct decision is to walk on the right side, and the other choices are wrong! Stay away from me!”
