Nigeria Ranked 2nd Poorest Nation in the World

     Honestly this ranking of Nigeria as the second poorest country is more of an abormination. Am so  because of this and even  because we can't be the second poorest. If Nigeria is the second poorest, what will some other countries like Zimbabwe among others be ranked as? Please world Bank think twice and go back to rate again because if Nigeria is the second poorest then some African countries will not be ranked since it will be a horrible shame on them.

if u all believe this is true and u have your proves then something must be wrong somewhere

YES, i know Nigeria shouldn't be ranked the second poorest country, but due to the corruption, it is....
_{Rubbish country}

why are you confused gudguy, im i lieing? 

hun I think so...

........... Of course the country go beta..........

we don't have a choice. We have to do everything in our possible best to see that the country works. As we all know our fathers and leaders have failed us therefore, it is now up to us the youth to make all the difference there is. If we sit and watch as the country is been plagued and plundered by our so called elite, kings and godfather's, we might not have a country in the next 15 to 20 years (if I can borrow for the security report by the CIA on Nigeria) but if we start to syntesize ourselves to the ever changing world order and how we are going to be left in the dark if we do not get it right, we might just escape the hangman's noose!!

Technically speaking, we are not the 2nd poorest nation in the world but when you imput what we earn as a country with all basic working facilities and infastructures put in place by the soveriegn state as against the huge lack that faces the people, you will then see why thay have termed us so. Mnay paeople would say, what can I do to make a change, I tell you plenty. If you look inwards, into yourselves, you will find the answers to your questions and you w\ill do the right thing.

For starters, try change the way you normally think... If you can do this, you can do anything...  Much love

nigeria needs a new taxing system if it already has one. that's the easiest way to get revenue.



Taxing eh, how does the help the common man, you just want take the little they have, and put it in a private swiss account inne?

nah so we see am sha so we have to take am like that

Are u minding those jobless people?

 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 i am sure somebody somewhere wants to dupe somebody somewhere

somebody somewhere wants to dupe somebody somehow

Most European countries are wealthy not poor. you meant to say "Most African countries are poor"

poor = economically.

They used dollars because they are comparing Nigeria to other countries around the world on the level of poverty.

Nigeria IS the 2nd poorest country in the world take it or leave it!.

It's not that Nigeria is poor, the economy is what that make us bad. Am sure we will get there.

Comparing Nigeria to countries like USA, UK, Canada is the biggest folly of all time. It's just like comparing your fathers first child to the lastborn; "Bi omode ba laso bi agba, ko le lakisa bi agba".

yeah i was going to say that too. the overpopulation contributes to our poverty.
if only we could do what China is doing : "one or two children per family it would bring down the population a little j/k. 

Excuse me please........

This not about people (population) tis about wealth (economy) because back in sec school, we were made to understand that one of the indices for measuring wealth was actuaslly man power which in this case will denote people so the availability of people is not a minus, it is actually a plus. In the case of china, they had to peg the pupolation growth so that their economy could sustain what it had. Even if we do that now, can the country sustain its citizery??? My thinking is No..  In all fairness, I do not think or would I want to believe that we are not actulaly the 2nd poorest country in the world but considering our position in the world today, giving our resources and man power including popularity, prestige etc, much is expected from us and as such, using the present state of the country and comparing it with what obtaines in other countries with similar resources, You nor go fit blame them 4 wetin them yarn.... We are indeed poor both economically + morally and other wise and there is great need for us to collectively do something about it as soon as possible.


So that we all may learn oh..........

My brother please listen... If the people at the helms of affairs did the right things ever since, we will not be in the mess that we are now. Do we have more population that China or the soviet union?? We have as much resources as any nation in this world can have but we have failed to manage what we have accordingly and that is why we are having the stress that we now have. I tell u that we are trully blessed and if we use our man power resources to harness out natural resources with a sound adminstration in place, we can never go wrong. There will be food on the table, cloths on our backs and good roofs over our head... Wen u have one man to 10 mil dollars and another man to 100 naira we want to still say that population is a problem??? No. Equity is the problem not population. Accountability is a problem. The rule of law and security is a problem. If we handle our stuff well from when oil was discovered in naija up until now, today the average nigerian would have been a millionaire. We conviniently 4got coacoa and groundnut and timber and other stuff that gave us money and run after oil and that has cuased us the very problems that we are now facing. If we clean the top, the rest will be fine...

so that we may learn...
