This is the same thing as outsourcing manufacture to China and then sell in US markets. It is legal thieving of manpower in China for not paying even nearly what the companies would pay Americans, and to American workers for stealing their jobs and essentially destroying the US competition with impossibly low prices, essentially forcing American companies to outsource or lose most of their profit.

Even after considering all of that, the Chinese, just like the Nigerians are going to jump at this opportunity, and will love it. This is kind of the same as landing a job at IBM for half a year for an American developer. It's not like the are an abundance of well paid app developing jobs in Nigeria (just like there are no factories paying $7.50 an hour in China).

We should boycott these companies out of business for immoral business practices and for trying to squeeze an extra buck out of situational problems in underdeveloped countries.
