Russia is to the world as the north is to Nigeria in terms of landmass...

dawnomike:
Russia is to the world as the north is to Nigeria in terms of landmass...

yeah, Russia is really big, covering eastern Europe and northern Asia.

Russia is big for nothing, 50% of the landmass are unlivable

dawnomike:

yeah exactly...

UCyril:
Russia is big for nothing, 50% of the landmass are unlivable

due to harsh climate

God1000:

Many people don’t know that Russia shares boundary with US

Amotolongbo:

Yeah The United States and Russia share a maritime border at the Bering Sea that is known as the Russia-United States Maritime Boundary

Russia alone share land border with 14 nations, they include Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, Norway, Poland, Ukraine. Given that it's the world's largest nation by area

If not for the sale of Alaska to US by Russia, Russia will share a land boundary with Canada.

One wouldn’t know which continent to classify Russia cos it will span through 3 continents of Europe, Asia and North America

Australia get big land mass with little population..

No wonder life is easier over there

exactly, Russia is really massive, but with a population of just 144 million people.

helinues:

it's due to good governance bro

Same with Canada

God1000:

True it's good governance but at the same time the population also have effects.

Even upon how useless our politicians have been, population of 25m for Nigeria would have seen big changes considering our natural resources

China is doing well with a population of over 1.4 billion people.
United States has about 329 million people

I beg to disagree on that sir!

What about China with that large population ?
It all depends on the governmental planning

China, Australia , USA, Russia are far older than Nigeria. Those countries have seen things Nigeria never dreamed about.

Though that's not the justification for our good for nothing politicians. They would soon become more generous as the election is approaching to Bobo the gullible ones

How come that population hasn’t played any effect in Democratic republic of Congo which is the second largest country in Africa with a population of about 86million (I meant the relatively low population density)?

Mind you, DR Congo has about 45% of Nigerian population while Nigeria has about 40% of DR Congo landmass

It isn’t age bro.
There are many countries who had their independence after Nigeria and have gone past our level of development,

Many factors contribute to development which are lacking in Nigeria.
Chinese development can be attributed to cultural homogeneity.

It isn’t about the government alone, the people of Nigeria also have contributed to the problems.

....And the United States is about 310 million population
.... Russia is about 160 million.
.... Nigeria is 200 million.

Nigeria should continue.
We are doing well.
Meanwhile, Texas as a state alone can measure up to Nigeria's size.
Make we continue.

You are Right.
It's part of it.
And the whites know exactly what Leadership is.

UCyril:

You are Right.
about 70% not habitable.
70% constitutes Siberia.

the size of Nigeria is more than 3times that of UK

APOPTOSIS:
You are Right. about 70% not habitable. 70% constitutes Siberia.

And they use it to their advantage remember napolion bon aperte

Desertification is really consuming the north, by 2030 when climate change will have made utmost north almost uninhabitable then Nigeria will understand the real menace of herdsmen terrorism!

Wow I’m just knowing this today. So Canada is larger in land mass than the US?

Goldentulip2:

yes man, and with a small population of 38 million

Hmmm these figures are revealing, I never knew this

God1000:

but Alaska is bigger than naija

HOLY SHIT

if we divide 9ja into two, SN and NN. How much would be SN GDP, population and landmass and NN GDP, population and landmass. Abeg i wan check sometin?
back to the topic, despite being big they still run less corruption and an efficient country. Kudos.
