Not that simple.

In most major standard of living indices, Zimbabwe IS in fact, better. I would happily move to about 94% of the other countries in the world too, if I were to be afforded full citizen's rights. Mathematically, that's a smart move based on statistics. Their standards of living are all higher than Nigeria's.

I notice we Nigerians feel insulted pretty quickly. Embrace the bitter truth and the pain that comes with it. That will motivate us to improve.

With all our machismo and braggadocio, look where we are

Rossikk:
Olodo. So, we are supposed to ignore the starvation and deprivation in Zimbabwe because they (supposedly) have constant light? Why do you ignore their deep economic collapse? Dishonest fool. I repeat. None of these imbecil.es bad mouthing Nigeria here could spend ONE WEEK in Zimbabwe, without BEGGING to be returned to Nigeria. QUOTE ME ON THAT ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

chronique:
I think a lot of people are mixing up things here. Development has to do more with infrastructure and social amenities. So to a large extent, it's possible they have better infrastructural development. That doesn't mean standard of living might be better than Nigeria.

MtuMsuper:

I love Zimbabwe. I took my cows there if you know what that means. In spite and despite everything western powers have done to destabilise Zimbabwe, it remains as a stark physical reminder of the depredations euro civilizations have wreaked upon the motherland, and how africans have defiantly resisted, in spite of the impossible odds. I can confirm most of the stuff about zimbabwe you have given us, and your knowledge about it is firsthand like mine.Mawuya,makorokoto. Am just sayin.

Gistpeeps:
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, has said that his country is the “most highly developed country in Africa” after South Africa, even ahead of Nigeria and Egypt.



Mugabe stated this at the World Economic Forum on Africa in Durban, South Africa.


“After South Africa, I want to see what country has the level of development that you see in Zimbabwe.”

“We have over 14 universities and our literacy rate is over 90 [%] – is the highest in Africa.

“Yes, we have our problems… but we have resources, perhaps more than the average country in the world, is it gold, diamond, coal… and our agriculture is very viable and this year we will have a bumper harvest,” he said.


Zimbabwe is ranked 24th on the UNDP’s Human Development Index for Africa, and 154th in the world. Nigeria is in 152nd place.

BTW they have constant electricity and running water in their big cities in Zimbabwe. I visited a friend in Kewkwe recently (Kwekwe is to Zimbabwe what a city like Ado-Ekiti is to Nigeria), and for my 3 days there, the light did not blink. I also did not see a single generator.

Might want to chew on that before you laugh at Mugabe.

Nigeria is a lot worse than many of you realise.

MetaHuman:
then move to zimbabwe

and thank goodness no visa needed

neocortex:


At your age, your mum shouldn't be the one telling you how develop
a country is.
You are educated aren't you.

Your darling benin republic is below Nigeria
in human development index.
While your zimbabwe eldorado has a 70%
poverty rate compared to Nigeria's 30% no
wonder their citizens kill themselves to get
into South Africa.

Ovokoo:

He never said Zimbabwe was heaven on earth. He simply highlighted areas where they'r better than Nigerian which adds credence to Mugabe's statement. Why not counter his arguments with superior arguments instead of towing the part of tomfoolery that you're reputed for.

Ngokafor:




...You can enjoy life anywhere in the World if you are rich...Nigeria's situation is simply pathetic.

lloydsfolarin:


And that's the reason why your region remains the only no-go region for other Nigerians and foreigners.

South Korea indeed!!! People who couldn't develop their erosion ravaged region since independence are here talking and dreaming of how beautiful their Biafra would look like South Korea... Dream on bro

The people-your politicians who have turned you guys to immigrants within your own country are still walking and controlling you dickheadss in the East as we chat here.

Gerrard59:


She told me this years back when I was little and she is well travelled. I argued and defended the hell hole. I blame it on naivety. To me, when a country cannot provide her citizens with constant power supply (a major economic lifeline) after 57 years, then she is useless and undeveloped. Read GEJPosterity's comments, other than anywhere in the South of Nigeria, this country can be compared to Somalia. Which is true, as most of Northern Nigeria is comparable to Niger Republic and Chad Republic.

Singapore had her independence in 1965 and look where she is today. Certainly it does not have to do with when a country gains independence.

ollah2:


What are the developments in the eastern states?

neocortex:


Yes, zimbabwe is so developed that its citizens in their thousands are dying to go to South Africa.
The country is so great that it has become a model for the rest of Africa.
You can tell those to little children.

It is unfortunate that a country which lost its currency to mismanagement and has a 70% poverty rate
happens to be your eldorado. You must have a really low standard.

GEJPosterity:

Wow, you have 14 fingers?

No wonder you're so dumb, I didn't know you suffer from a genetic mutation.

GEJPosterity:

They also have running water, smooth, tarred roads all over their cities, subsidised social housing, 90%+ literacy and human development indices that are far superior to at least half of Nigeria. Their infrastructure stock was built by Europeans before majority rule happened in 1980 without a destructive civil war. They are also having a bumper harvest, meeting all their internal food needs with leftover to export - Nigeria is still importing garri and wheat and corn.

By all objective measures, Zimbabwe is a more developed country than Nigeria. Visit it and you will be shocked at how backward Nigeria actually is, relative to even the rest of Africa. It's only in the minds of delusional Nigerians who don't travel that Nigeria is some kind of great, important country. Nigeria is actually a backward, inconsequential West African British vassal state led by illiterates, where its most expensive high class neighbourhoods have open gutters, individual septic tanks, boreholes and diesel generators.

You need to get out more.

1966 boy. Google search and never updated.
Without a functioning brain or cortex.
Please dont let @Jayceon, @MduZA, @ZarZar or other south Africans hear you disrespecting another african country's currency.

I got standards baby, they high as as your BS.

Pidgin2:


What is the worth of their currency? See as you disgrace our country for front page, I don't know why there will always be a Judas on every thread

eitsei:
what an average person needs to live comfortably we lack it in Nigeria, constant power supply, adequate road networks, good health facilities and so on now tell me how many average Nigerians have access to these?

ollah2:



Where are they?

GEJPosterity:

Before you insult me, you had better make sure you're not speaking to your intellectual superior, you this delusional pinhead. I am not your mate Rossikk, or whatever you call yourself. The only thing you are known for on this platform and elsewhere is for posting delusional nonsense, lies and half truths in pursuit of some equally delusional "Nigerianist" agenda. I'm not interested in your politics or whatever deep lying inferiority complex makes you so attracted to any conversation where the word "Nigeria" is mentioned. Whatever you are compensating for, you had better leave me out of it. I don't take kindly to being aggressed by the likes of you at all.

Do not do this again in your life.
