You forgot to add that in the same US of A Millions of the infrastructural development projects and actual development of citizens are not RUN by the private sector but by government. You forgot to add the many developmental projects currently funded by the government to help DEVELOP and ensure individuals are able to catch up should they need to ( welfare, housing, unemployment projects etc programs out there) You also forgot to mention that if government were to pull out today, the economy would fall like a ton of bricks. COME ON!!! total Govt spending in the U.S is about 22% of GDP. . .majority of the economy is still private sector driven Most economists will tell u that govt spending crowds out private sector investments it hurts the economy 2-3yrs out. . especially if the government is borrowing to spend like it is doing in the U.S right now. . . even obama touts his stimulus as being majority private sector driven. .that means most of the contracts awarded are done by the private sector again govt is just trying to pull the economy out of recession with its spending. . . its the normal business cycle and its been going on for the last 100yrs even without the stimulus the economy here would still have pulled itself out. . once interest rates were slashed to 0% by the feds as for welfare and unemployment benefits. . well thats not development.thats becoming a nanny state. . i would not advocate that for nigeria. . |

Please, can we stop labeling the Private sector as new SAVIOUR of some kind? Not saying the Private sector is EVIL for looking everywhere it can for profit, NO. I believe in making profit but I will be first to admit that any country expecting the private sector to bail it out of its own lack of good government is fooling itself. The recent global economic crisis revealed something huge to the whole world. How can anyone, after all this come in to proclaim the PRIVATE SECTOR the new JESUS of the world? [b]u are obviously left leaning. . thats ok. . just know that. . the reason the private sector is the only saviour(not just the new one),is that it ensures an efficient allocation of capital whearas govt spending is almost always misplaced,unproductive and innefficient look at the markets here. .u have an idea. . u approach the markets. . those that believe in u invest in it in the form of an IPO. . . if it thrives like GOOGLE. . u become a millionaire. .and make others too millionaires. . if it fails like. . tons of dot com era companies. . .(eg mama.com). .u loose and move on to the next idea. . no corruption,no man know man. . if N.N.PC was privatized i can wake up tommorrow and buy into it on the nigerian stock exchange. . i can vote directors out. . with other shareholders of course and so on. . every nigerian wins. .not just some cabal i could go on and on. .look into russia,cuban,north korean,virtually all govt controlled states and why they failed or are failing. . . govt is usually an impediment to growth and development. .[/b] |

I will simply say this yet AGAIN. . . . DEVELOPMENT IS NOT to be confused with GROWTH in an economy !!! economic growth and increase in productivity is the only way to lift people out of poverty. . . thats how its been done for the past 200yrs. . . . as for development. . .maybe u can define what that means to u. . . because most serious economists do not go about seperating the two. . .growth and development go hand in hand |
Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Kobojunkie: 10:09pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
paddy_lo:Well, maybe you have no clue what the right and independents really advocate. You mean we ought to let government swim in the millions of tax dollars it gets from us while it does absolutely nothing for us with that money? So, if we pay $900 billion a year in taxes, we ought to forget about that money and not call for government to use it to improve our public schools, healthcare and what nots? You mean government should not be called to do nothing at all with resources we continue to pay it to use for our benefit? Welfare is NOT ALL evil. If you read up on what those in the left say, they are not calling for a complete abolishment because it is hard, especially in these times to escape the many benefits such programs offer. Most calls on welfare are for complete overhaul -- rebuild sort of, to make sure resources are reaching those who need it and not continuing to go to those who don’t. |
Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Kobojunkie: 10:13pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
paddy_lo:That is not true. You forgot to mention that BEFORE the private sector came in to grow the US economy, the government had to lay down the basics, and hence the reason why growth has been able to go hand in hand with development for as long as it has. In the case of Nigeria however, the private sector has long been in the picture but the base development work never really done and so the reason why we continue to experience growth but little to no development in most every sector. Look closely at the figures for goodness sake. We have been doing this for decades now and the report card has been in for a while now. paddy_lo: Consider @Ladejs posting for an idea of what development actually is. Most serious economists actually understand that growth does not spell development in any way. If you look at reviews on china which consider the big picture, you would understand why china’s growth has yet to propel it off of the developing countries list even as it now runs with the big economic powers. |

You mean government should not be called to do nothing at all with resources we continue to pay it to use for our benefit? maybe u shouldnt give up so much to the govt in the first place. .maybe govt should cut the top income tax rate to 15%. .and let the private sector/citizens(the original owners of the capital by the way),spend the money how they deem fit. . . again most right leaning people and independents will never argue what u argue here. . .most will tell the govt to cut down its size and give the money back to the citizens in form of tax cuts. . .thats why i called u left leaning in the first place. . no offense intended as for welfare. . .i believe it leads to an overburden of the state. .its a misplacement of resources because u take that money from corporations that pay taxes and give it to non tax paying citizens everyone looses. .even the govt. . |
Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Kobojunkie: 10:23pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
paddy_lo:I am not the one delegating the responsibilities of government to the private sector here. Government has it’s place in every society and should focus on doing it’s job, not handing it off to the private sector, UNELECTED by the people to do such. paddy_lo: Like I said, it is obvious you have your own TWIST there on what most right leaning individuals think of government and its place. Independents and right leaning people do not advocate for no government at all. Most want reduced government, as in government having less control over the lives of people ( freedom essentially), focused more on helping develop people and country. paddy_lo: I am gonna guess you have NEVER really experienced welfare or any of the government programs first hand to know much of the other side, have you? |

You forgot to mention that BEFORE the private sector came in to grow the US economy, the government had to lay down the basics, and hence the reason why growth has been able to go hand in hand with development for as long as it has. [b]i dont know what u mean by lay down the basics. . but america has always been from its founding a private sector driven nation D.C for the most part has been irrelevant to americas bankers and businessmen. . why do u think the dow jones is in new york and not d.c? or the commodities exchange in chicago? most ppl will tell u that americas laws were written to protect private property and nothing more. . with strong property rights u can now buy and sell. . trade becomes king. .even the so called boston tea party was based on an opposition to higher taxes again. . .less govt has always been cherished. . as for increase in productivity being the only way to lift people out of poverty,i dont want to go into long theories of macro-economics dont wanna chase everyone out of this thread. . . however i will give u a simple example of a poor farmer anywhere in the world,lets say northern nigeria. . . if he can increase his productivity by say 50% every yr. . .then in 5yrs compounded he would have astronomically improved his purchasing power and personal gdp per capita. . how does he do this?. .by learning better farming techniques. . improved skills,high grade seeds,better access to loans and so on. . . crop yields improve. . .he can export or sell more. . .he makes more money. . . thats what productivity does for u. . it helps u squeeze out more with less. . . thats how the U.S became rich. . . and this by the way can be replicated in every sector of the economy,from housing,to manufacturing to services again if u ever get a chance to listen to ben bernanke testify. .listen to him when he talks about what an increase in productivity does for an economy and its people[/b] |

Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Kobojunkie: 10:45pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
To sum it up please, DEVELOPMENT is not to be confused with Growth please. Erecting a factory in a village does not mean the village is developed. Even if the people in that village are employed by the factory and the factory experiences huge profits year after year, you still cannot state that essentially means the village has developed. You can say, unemployment is down in that area (and that argument can be used even if the people are paid a measly feel for their services by said factory), but it would be a serious leap to state that the factory has developed the village if the factory has not proactively done so. paddy_lo: Please see @Ladej's post for some incite on that. |
Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by lloyd77: 10:51pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
How do you make development in a society? especially a bent one like nigeria with a lot of selfish, impeteous and disorientated minds both in the place of leadership and others. when and how would development begin? when all we think about is dominion, development would be veiled. our mindset needs a drastic change before development and growth could be percieved. |

Kobojunkie:mr kobojunkie how far my broda, till a lot of the contributors to this forum get the difference between growth and development, im afraid you're barking on the wrong trees . first they need to understand that a difference exists between growth and development, just like a difference exists between wealth and riches. though babangida may be stinkingly rich and has riches, that doesnt make him wealthy, because wealth is a system of EMPOWERMENT while any fortunate baggar can be rich. contributors abeg align this analogy to the topic and understand we are indeed growing not developing. also even though there is credit crunch that doesnt mean british gas or [insert any other westernised power authority] will take light. |

Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by ladej(m): 11:36pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
paddy_lo:rather than engage in posting competition i will explain why my 'random statements do make sense. hope this helps, Economic Growth is a narrower concept than economic development.It is an increase in a country's real level of national output which can be caused by an increase in the quality of resources (by education, health etc.), increase in the quantity of resources & improvements in technology or in another way an increase in the value of goods and services produced by every sector of the economy.Economic Growth can be measured by an increase in a country's GDP, while, Economic development is a normative concept i.e. it applies in the context of people's sense of morality (right and wrong, good and bad). The definition of economic development given by Michael Todaro is an increase in living standards, improvement in self-esteem needs and freedom from oppression as well as a greater choice.The most accurate method of measuring development is the[b] Human Development Index [/b]which takes into account the literacy rates & life expectancy which affect productivity and could lead to Economic Growth. It also leads to the creation of more opportunities in the sectors of education, healthcare, employment and the conservation of the environment.It implies an increase in the per capita income of every citizen. to buttress my point, Development alleviates people from low standards of living into proper employment with suitable shelter. Economic Growth does not take into account the depletion of natural resources which might lead to pollution, congestion & disease.[gas flaring in niger delta for example and total degradation of its environs] Development however is concerned with sustainability which means meeting the needs of the present without compromising future needs. one last one, development- Brings both qualitative and quantitative changes in the economy [aged population ,low infant mortality rate] growth- Brings quantitative changes in the economy[i.e. huge foreign reserves of 30 billion dollars but still widespread suffering] i do hope this brought more clarity to the subject matter. |

Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Kobojunkie: 11:43pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
Good one @Ladej I am not an economist but that was a good one there. The lack of understanding of the difference between the two is one big reason why we continue to confuse the our bigger bank accounts, construction of more high rise buildings, new ships, helicopters, newly painted houses with signs of development in Nigeria when the numbers continue to tell us each and every year that even with recorded growth, more and more people continue to fall below the poverty line. If you have 5% growth in GDP but increase in poverty rate, increase in unemployment, increase in illierary rate, can one still claim developing? I believe it is quite clear that

It also leads to the creation of more opportunities in the sectors of education, healthcare, employment and the conservation of the environment.It implies an increase in the per capita income of every citizen.so in essence u believe govt should legislate morality? for literacy rates. .that again deals with relevant laws,which i have already said is what govt is there for. . that means. . making and enforcing laws like what yr to what someone must be in school and so on. . . however the ability to enforce such is soley dependent on the resources available. .which is soley dependent on how much growth and tax revenue is available eg schools are funded here by property taxes. . .if the property value falls. . taxes collected falls and the schools suffer again growth is paramount same for life expectancy and the rest in the HDI to buttress my point, [b]the only way to improve standard of living is through increase in productivity and not any centrally planned economic theory as for depletion of natural resources. .again govt is there to make laws. . .there is usually a ying-yang pull on how far govt allows corporations to go on this dont see what that has to do with anything as for sustainability u quote. . .i believe its sustainable growth that is used nowadays. .again nothing to see here your final quote on the foriegn reserves is most revealling how do u think u will fund the so called decrease in widespread suffereing(as u put it ),or decrease in infant mortality and so on if there is no growth in the economy? . . .where do u get the money from. .pluck it from trees? the only way u have those $30billion in reserves u are eyeing is through economic growth after that govt can make any laws it deems fit. . like minimum wage laws or workers rights laws and so on its all well and good. . .but dont confuse this as a chicken and egg problem. . because u need to grow your economy and grow it fast and rapidly before any other sort of social programs u think of can come in again if nigeria can grow at 12-15% per annum. . with population growth steady at 3%,after 10 yrs poverty would have been reduced by 80% or thereabouts get any macro-economic model and plug it in. . . . seems u confuse govt social programmes with your so-called development. . .[/b] |

development is the reason [/b]why a head of department wont put all his/her workers salary in a fixed deposit to accrue interest, whilst the employees are crying out for their paychecks, as it is done in some areas in nigeria. [b]no not some pie in the sky term called development,but by enforcement of laws already on the books. . . hope u know there is corruption everywhere in the states also. . .mayors,house of rep members and so on are busted daily. . . the difference here is that there is enuff manpower and resources available to those who are charged with enforcing laws basic literacy is being able to read and write, also being able to discern right from wrong, i.e. it is right to pee in your house, wrong to pee on the road[ you dont need to go to Harvard to know thatagain dont see what literacy has to do with this. . .if u pass a law and have the resource to enforce it. .then people wont pee on the street simple or dont u know ppl are routinely arrested for peeing on the street here?. .again enforce laws that are passed this is incorrect. the UK dont produce anything anymore, just services like banking. manufacturing is at an all time low, unless the productivity you refer to is service based, there are numerous ways to improve standard of living. a good police force will aid thatproductivity growth does not only occur in manufacturing. . .productivity is the ability to do more with less. . .it can come in services sector or any other sector again u.s productivity growth was the highest in some 5yrs this past 3rd qtr. . .it has helped to increase the wealth of the average u.s employee,also with increased productivity comes increase in company profits. . .which means an increase in the wealth effect in forms of dividends or capital gains why do you think global warming and[b] climate change is a biggie?[/b]its not a biggie to most third world economies and china. . .frankly its also not a biggie to half the U.S in the form of republicans and some independents you seem a bit confused. i never said there wasnt growth, there clearly is growth in nigeria, not development though. that time will come my point is that nigeria needs to grow faster than it is. . .and govt has to do less not more as u clearly propose im not confused, my thought process is as smooth as halle berry's face halle berry eh. . . . .am more of a genievive. . .or kelly rowland type of guy. .but its all good. .cheers |

I don’t even have enough space or time to QUOTE or RE-QUOTE some very sensible comments here by just a couple of individuals. What amazes me is the fact that WE have a lot of brilliant intellectuals functioning well outside Nigeria in foreign lands as contributors to the DEVELOPMENT of these So-Called Western World Countries in the Financial, Medical and Educational sectors but there is something that happens once they get back home that prevents them from implementing the same ideas and I think I know what it is, ACCOUNTABILITY Look up the word and read up on the factors of Accountability and how it affects everything that’s wrong with Nigeria All the Theories and Practical ideas in the World will not work until the LAW of the land is well structured and enforced. Nigeria's biggest problem is the fact that no one is held accountable thus the Chaos in Government and in the Private Sector. The Judicial arm of the government has to be very effective otherwise NOTHING else works and for the most part there is no law or it is not enforced. There is a Yoruba proverb that translates in to English as "A Child that normally sleeps on the floor if put on a mat will roll back on the floor in the middle of the night" My Point? A lot of people that were born into this corrupt and non-functioning society do not even see anything wrong with the country and will point out the fact that FASHOLA bought 2 helicopters as DEVELOPMENT, Are you kidding me? Sometimes you have to step back to see the big picture. Think about the resources we have available then and look at our country’s roads, schools, hospitals and even basic amenities for the masses and then ask “Why is it not working?” ACCOUNTABILITY! Everyone should do their little part to hold themselves accountable to doing the right thing and before you know it everything else falls in place. |

Kobojunkie: That's how young graduates think. How leaders are not educated enough so they don't know how to develop this country. The same leaders will build state of the art modern personal buildings, the former VP has an American standard private university (he was still clueless), Odili built a world class private hospital in SA (still clueless). Kobojunkie: Please help me to enlighten these our people. |
Re: Why Is Nigeria So Difficult To Develop? by Justcash(m): 10:45am On Dec 17, 2009 |
agitator: The Kobojunkie dude was ranting rubbish. He interpreted my statement that Nigerian Leaders are "Anti-developmental" as that I was saying that they are "Clueless". When leaders have a clue of what to do, but decide to do the opposite, what does it mean? The guy even went ahead to proclaim that the average Nigerians that are struggling to make it in business are way less smarter than the Politicans that decieved the electorates to find their way to power to steal money. No one thinks that they are not educated. They are simply not right for the political posts that they are holding. The next question that will come to me is what am I doing to take them out of their posts. The answer is what can I do when it is people like Kobojunkie and his pessimists (that has helplessly accepted the political status quo) that are surpposed to back me up. Except I decide to go into the streets and eliminate people like Kobojunkie and co, nothing much will be done. I have seen the height of Pessmissm in that Kobojunkie dude and his apostles. With time We will know their true identities. |

@ mr. kobunjie or ko shi je Even me as a young guy can see the problems we are facing in nigeria Justcash is making a valid point::: Instead of you contributing/collaborating on how Nigeria will develop, you are writing absolutely nonsense and arguing blindly I believe you are one of the Anti-Nigeria Developmental Agency Scheme @Justcash I will advise you to kindly stop debating with Mr. Kobojunkie::: I believe he doesn't know what it takes for a nation to develop. [/size]Let me give you some example of Development: 1. Reliable medical system (non profit organization) 2. Credible education system (non profit organization) [size=15pt]3. Constant power supply [/size]4. Obeying the laws 5. Solid security system 6. National citizen identification system. 7. Credible electoral system 8. Better public transportation system and so on. We need to treat No.3 Item first, No. 3 is compulsory so that all the following items on the list will work::: without No. 3, All the rest will FAIL Eradication of poverty is not all about pumping & sharing funds but by creating job for his citizens [size=20pt]#LIghtupNIgeria[/size] Visit: http://www.lightupnigeria.org/ for more info |
