What do you mean by ''infrastructurally more developed''? They barely have TWO cities there!!! Even those two cities - Accra and Kumasi, are mediocre by African standards. I mean, this is ridiculous. Their rural areas are LESS developed than Nigerian rural areas. Leave those two cities and it's mud huts and footpaths galore. Abegi.. You guys go to Ghana and stay in Accra and come back with ''Ghana is better than Nigeria!!!'' Someone can equally come to Abuja and stay a year, and return to his country, singing Nigeria's praises to high heavens - ''Nigeria is better than paradise!!!''.

Rossikk:


But Nigeria is more developed than Ghana. So what are you talking about? We have more roads, more airports, more functional seaports, more universities, more cities, more expressways, more industries, more factories, far larger IT and automative sectors, more rich people, a much larger middle class than Ghana's. A middle class that is at least 3 times the entire Ghanaian population. A much larger GDP (both per capita and gross). https://www.google.co.uk/#q=ghana+gdp

So what are you talking about?

That Nigeria was once a great a country – It is common to hear Nigerian’s make statements like “our country will be great again”. This comment is quite delusional.
Nigeria, to the best of my knowledge has never been a great country. You may try to pass of some of our characteristics like population, ethnicity or the fact that we used to have groundnut pyramids in the past as greatness but reasonably, these things don’t make you great.
Examples of countries that were great are China and Argentina. They were both known to be highly prosperous countries in the past and unfortunately lost their prosperity as time went by.
Nigeria has never been known to be a prosperous country since its independence till date.

That Nigeria is a rich country: This is another unfounded untruth that is perpetuated by some ignorant Nigerians.
The “GDP per capita” is the standard used in measuring how rich a country is. Nigeria’s GDP per capita currently stands at 3000 dollars. This makes Nigeria a low income country and one of the poorest countries in the world.

That Nigeria is more developed than most countries in Africa: Some Nigerians who have never been beyond the boundaries of Lagos and Abuja would think there are fewer places in Africa that are better than these places (and Nigeria as a whole) in terms of infrastructure and economic development.
Recent ratings from the World Economic Forum’s global competitiveness report shows that even in West Africa, certain countries like Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Cape Verde and Senegal all have better infrastructure ratings than Nigeria.
Honestly speaking, Nigerians have a myopic view as to what true socio-economic growth and development entails. Seeing private jets and luxurious cars as development while majority of the populace cannot afford beyond the basic necessities of life isn’t development.

That Nigeria would develop and be great:
Although we can’t predict the future, we can judge from history and the current state of affairs to project what the future would look like.
The possibility of Nigeria becoming great with its current structures, constitution and institutions is very slim.
The current socio-political and economic regime that perpetuates greed, rent-seeking, injustice and laziness will not get this country where is plans to be.
Until we begin to call for a structural and systemic change, Nigeria may not witness any progress in the long-run.

OP stop wasting ur time on hypocrites, they know the truth but will never accept it. These are thesame people that if given the opportunity will rather study in South Africa, Ghana or run to America to give birth. Allow them their kids ll grow up to know the truth and may end up spitting on their graves for not standing up for the truth and Justice

Stop mentioning a backyard country like Ghana alongside Nigeria. Among black people, we are Kings.

Rossikk:
You have no shame. Look at you. A country of only 20 million people. You have gold - 2nd in Africa after SA. You have oil and gas. You have cocoa. You have bauxite. I'm sure you even have diamonds. Simple logic suggests that, like Singapore to China, you should be enjoying a far higher standard of living than Nigeria, with her 175 million mouths to feed. Yet Ghana still suffers from mass poverty, power cuts, bad roads, and rural deprivation. You should be on the Ghana forum asking where all the money has gone.

OXYGEN01:
How on earth can a useless underdeveloped country like nigeria be developed than Ghana? Even for the fact that millions of nigerians are trooping to Ghana like refugees should tell you that nigeria is nowhere near Ghana.

nigeria is about 5 times bigger than Ghana in terms of land mass so why won't you have MORE roads,universities,airports, seaports and all the nonsense you made mention of?

But ask yourself if your universities are better that Ghana's universities. Its a BIG NO.GHANA UNIVERSITIES ranked far ahead of nigerian universities.

Secondly, Are your roads better than Ghana roads? ITS,A BIG NO!!!

Most part of Ghana are tared with no potholes.

There's no way you can compare so called nigerian cities to modernized well planned Ghana cities.

VonBismark:
kings indeed. Are nigerians not trooping en mass to go and study in Ghana? Why can't we just tell ourselves the truth and drop this megalomaniac way of thought for once with regards to nigeria

Nigerians are NOT ''trooping en masse'' to go anywhere. Stop exaggerating. How many universities are there in Ghana for us to ''troop'' to? 1? 2?

We have a huge population who love education, so our universities are inadequate in number to cater for all of them at present. So naturally, Nigerians will go to countries where there is spare capacity, like Ghana. Nothing wrong in that. Millions of Chinese and Indians travel overseas to study. Doesn't mean their countries aren't developing.

Baba tell urself the truth and stop trying to justify a lie. The university in nigeria where does it rank compared to that of Ghana

Here's another list of Top 100 African universities. Ghana has 2 universities on the list. Nigeria has 9. Just ONE Ghanaian uni is ranked above Nigerian unis. But Nigeria has the far greater number of unis than Ghana in the Top 100.

that list is preposterous compared to the one I saw, not gonna argue with it though

The proof is there for you to see but you refuse. From education, health care, security to roads. Ghana is ahead of Nigeria. Check HDI between the two countries.

Shut up and stop exaggerating you nasty thing. Care to provide some references and links to your wild claims, or don't you know how to research? Your nasty words do not constitute facts without back up. How many of you self hating dunces can spend a week in Mali, Sudan, Niger, Somalia, Eritrea, Uganda, Sierra Leone, or Burundi, without crying for your mama and Nigeria?

Rossikk:


Economic illiterate. The few thousand Nigerians in Ghana are there as business people exploiting your tepid economy. Not ''refugeees''.

But Mali has a greater land mass than Nigeria, but lack Nigeria's level of development. So it's not just about 'land mass'.

And those things are not ''nonsense'' except to a bush peabrain like you.




Shut up and stop lying. Ghana has 2 universities in Africa's Top 100 universities list, and only one - the University of Ghana - is ranked above Nigerian universities. Nigeria has 9 universities on the list all ranked above the rest of Ghana's universities:

http://www.webometrics.info/en/Ranking_africa

Also, you have only 3 or 4 universities worthy of the title ''university''. Nigeria has 200+. That alone shows we are more advanced than your small country.

Better how? We have more roads than Ghana (by an absolute mile) so of course we have more tarred roads and more well asphalted roads than you.



You can lie to yourself but you can't lie to God.



Spare me the bullcrap. What cities exist in Ghana apart from Accra? Kumasi hardly rates as a ''city''. More like a town. The rest are little backwater townships.

Nigeria was not developed in d past and will never b rank as a develop nation because she lack d basics indices of development
