$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'D')ear Mr. Nigerian,
I am seeking employment advice. What employment do you suggest for a woman in the low-energy future? I prefer not to have to work too hard, of course.
Thank you for your time.
PS, I am probably too old to be successful as a prostitute.
Ask a Nigerian
Dear Ludi,
It should come as no surprise that Nigerian women differ greatly from those of most American women. What may be surprising is that since pre-colonial days women retained certain economic opportunities within the social system. In fact, before the 1960, Nigerian women traditionally played a more significant role in society than did western women. Traditional or tribal society in Nigeria expected women to be wage earners in the family. They labored in farming, fishing, and commerce (for instance, pottery, cloth-making, and craft work) alongside Nigerian men. In fact, women traditionally had the right to profit from their work, although the money usually served as a contribution to the family income. This economic freedom was much different from many western societies, where women had to fight for the right to work. These traditions still survive in modern Nigeria and will survive once we cut America off from our oil.
That being said I see many opportunities for women in a post crash America. I see women as merchants, farmers, and confidence (wo)men. In your case I have noted your extensive knowledge in the feild of permaculture and poulty production. Perhaps you can use this knowledge in a rathe unique way. If you can't appeal to your countrymen's greed, than you most certainly can appeal to his belly. Send out a mass email similar to this.
Dear________:
I represent a large acerage of organic food. This land has yeilded more than an abundance of organically raised chicken, carrots, squash, wheat, ice cold coca colas, Doritos, and microwave burritos(most americans will not question your assertion that microwave burritos, Doritos, and cokes grow out of the ground) to which I am willling to share with you. To do this I need to purchase a large amount of fuel to bring this bounty to market. With your assistance I am willing to depart with 10% of my goods. I simply ask for your credit card #, amount of availabile credit left, and your mother's maiden name to expidite our business. Once this is has been confirmed my assistant will contact you as to where to pick up the goods.
Respectfully Yours,
Miss Ludi
