Do you think the success of the USA is just dumb luck, or is it possible that perhaps the people there earned it? Wealth is not a right and it doesn't come by whining about people making more money than you. Are you, perhaps, an arrogant person that feels like you should be able to do as little as possible and still have the things that people that work hard have?
The parent post makes a valid point; you make your choices in life. You can either try to be a web developer in Ghana, stay with your family and have a lot of problems, or you can go to a less hostile environment, sacrifice time with your family, and enjoy wealth. You can't always have everything.
People who work hard don't bother to complain, because they understand the concept working hard to achieve goals instead of whining about hurdles.
I wouldn't say this article is a waste of time, however. It has a very important message to get across: "Don't bother trying to do web development in West Africa. It's not worth the trouble."
