Afis:
You seem not to understand that that is PART of the reason for a DIASPORA Bond: that when a nation finds it a tad difficult to get usual
"acquaintances and friends" to lend it (all the) money it needs, it turns to kins to "stand in the gap".
"acquaintances and friends" to lend it (all the) money it needs, it turns to kins to "stand in the gap".
Diaspora citizens are KINS to a nation. The motivation for lending is slightly different from others, but such kins are then responsible to set some conditions for such a lending, to ensure that whatever got the nation into such a dire situation should not be repeated. "Omo iya, o se iwo ni, sugbon maa ya e ni owo yi, o de gbodo lo bayi ati bayi,.." ("Brother, because you are my flesh and blood, I will lend you this money provided you use it as agreed.")
When such kinship is shown to a nation, it is called patriotism. If you don't like that word, use a more spiritually anthromorphic word: self-love. It is NOT a compulsion, and it does not mean that you should lose your shirt, but if you do it and it succeeds, naturally you will feel good.
And there you have it.

Who is going to lend you money when you have 12 different FX rates within your economy?
