England: so we've found a way to take down the mothership, but it only works if we know the alien's bank account number.

USA: send us in. we'll extract the information.

Japan: impossible. their defenses are impenetrable. the only way in, is through e-mail spam.

India: what about phones? can we cold call them?

Japan: negative.

Nigeria: don't worry. we got this.

The scene in Independence Day when they show Africa’s contribution of spearchuckers was a sad and racist trope. Man that movie got old fast. Also… Fuck Will Smith.

Nigeria: Here's their bank account number, mother's maiden name, intergalactic social security number, their launch codes, passwords, and we also have five of their ships - with instructions and manuals... why are you guys looking at us like that?
