If Lagos State Had The Resources Of Ghana.. by Nobody: 6:52pm On Oct 13, 2014
Lagos state population: 25 million

Ghana Population: 24 million

Ghana:

- 2nd largest gold producer and exporter in Africa after South Africa.
- World's largest cocoa producer & exporter.
- Oil and gas producer & exporter. Oil reserves of 7 billion barrels.


If Lagos State was the 2nd biggest GOLD exporter in Africa, PLUS No 1 cocoa producer on earth, PLUS an oil and gas producer and exporter, would there be any poverty in Lagos today?

I highly doubt it.

So why is Ghana, with all these resources, mired in poverty and underdevelopment, and are now going cap in hand to IMF and EU for money?

Should we lend them Fashola for a couple of years? He could turn that place into Hong Kong in no time.

The bad economic situation of Ghana with a population less than Lagos State and enviable resources is an evidence of high level of corruption and embezzlement, poor administration and poor management of resources. This show that there is more skill in government at the lower level in Nigeria than Ghana. In my on opinion poor leadership and managers is a major problem that plague Africa at large, this is not just the issue of Ghana or Nigeria alone.

LAND MASS OF GHANA IS ABOUT 239,460square kilometers
Land mass of lagos is about 3,577square kilometers
POPULATION OF GHANA IS ESTIMATED ABOUT 25m
Population of lagos is estimated about 21m

GHANA IS ABOUT 67times the size of lagos.

Compare the population with the land mass and you will realize nigerians are the most useless people ever to exist.
They give birth like donkeys.

No wonder they are classified as FOOLS.

With over 2million barrels a day you are still classified as one of the poorest countries in the world.
MUMUGERIANS/nigerians are tooo foolish and poor to be called humans.FOOOOLLLSSSS who gives birth like pigs.

Cholera outbreak in Nigeria
 November 12, 2013
Apart from the recent outbreak of cholera in
Nigeria that killed three in Lagos and some
others in Zamfara, at least 352 people have
been killed by this infection in a space of three
months and more than 6,400 cases reported
majorly in the North. Doctors are now
monitoring outbreaks in 12 of Nigeria’s 36
states. Nigeria had the first series of cholera
outbreak between 1970- 1990. Despite this
long experience with cholera, an understanding
of the epidemiology of the disease is still
lacking. We therefore hope that this review
provides the knowledge gaps of the infection
with the hope that it will help to develop
targeted approaches to controlling the
infection.
Developed countries have an almost zero
incidence of cholera because they have
widespread water treatment plants, food-
preparation facilities that usually practice
sanitation protocols, and most people have
access to toilets and hand-washing facilities. A
lot of responsibilities in curbing this epidemic
which is killing more of the average citizens of
Nigeria lie with the government. As Nigerians,
we should contribute our own quota to battling
and finally subduing cholera. Cholera is an
acute infectious disease caused by a
bacterium, Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) which
results in painless diarrhea (the main
symptoms are watery stool and vomiting).
Most people who contact this disease get it
primarily from drinking water or eating food
that has been contaminated by the faeces
(waste product) of an infected person,
including one with no apparent symptoms.
Individuals can prevent or reduce their
chances of contacting cholera by thorough
hand washing, drinking treated water and
eating clean and well prepared food. Most
importantly, it is necessary to introduce
intervention measures that address the root
problems of poor sanitation and unsafe water
supplies in order to fully solve the problem of
cholera. U.N. figures indicate that half of
Nigeria’s 160 million population do not have
safe water and a third do not have proper
sanitation. Although symptoms may be mild,
approximately 5%-10% of previously healthy
people will develop copious diarrhea within
about one to five days after ingesting the
bacteria. It is important that one receives
immediate medical treatment because cholera
can cause death within just a few hours.
Other treatment options for cholera include
rehydration to replace the fluids that are lost
through diarrhea to restore the electrolyte
balance. Oral rehydration salts or ORS can be
mixed with warm water to rehydrate the body.
Severe dehydration may require the
administration of intravenous fluids.
Administering antibiotics is not a necessary
form of treatment; however, this may reduce
the frequency of diarrhea. According to
research, zinc may shorten the duration and
decrease diarrhea in young children.
These treatment measures are majorly first aid.
Patients should be taken to the hospital or
health center for proper and adequate medical
attention.
Above all, the World health Organization
(WHO) recommends that immunization with
currently available cholera vaccines be used in
conjunction with the usually recommended
control measures in cholera endemic areas as
well as areas of risk outbreak. Remember
proper sanitation and drinking of clean and
boiled water prevents cholera infection.
