Βουκέφαλος: super world power in corruption YES!

oluface: Is it possible?

oluface: a country powerful
enough to influence
events throughout the
world

Horus: The world used to view China as a poverty stricken overpopulated state. look at China now; Nigeria is following.

sniperwolf: We can't even host an Olympic. It's so unfortunate that we can't be a world power before this world comes to an end

ekt_bear:

To some extent, it is out of our hands. Our ancestors did not conquer vast amounts of land, which is a prerequisite for empire-building (and arguably also for becoming a world power).

Imo, just try to make your life and that of your family/descendants as pleasant as possible. Stressing about stuff like this isn't worth the headache .

oluface: Is it possible?

This is a question for another time. Meanwhile lets face our "hoard of" problems as a nation, which are so many like a legion of demons. U get my drift?

ekt_bear: I think that if you try to make your life pleasant in honest ways that don't involve looting public wealth, the end result will be a pretty prosperous society.

Yes, there is an element of communal sacrifice/contributing to the greater good necessary. But communal sacrifice alone is no replacement for individual progress.

In short, try to make your life as happy as possible, while not stealing and while also paying your taxes, etc.

AjanleKoko:

. . . and also doing your bit to create some prosperity and opportunity for others. Not in the usual Naija-handout way of course, but you could invest in businesses that create jobs, maybe social entrepreneurship.

There's also scholarship opportunities, donations to schools, hospitals, etc. If everyone does that, life will improve for a lot more people. Right now, we spend a lot of energy and time complaining about stuff we have no way of influencing.

naijababe:

And praying about the ones we can. Super power my foot!!!

Kenyanstar: Nigerias obsession with being a super power or dreaming thereby is fantasy taken to the extreme. the following steps i will highlight clearly proves that:-
1. infrastructure- the countries road network is in pathetic condition, air tranport is archaic with saftey records an issue, railway system is creaking and rustic. transportation is a nightmare.
2. housing sector:- it is in shumbles with poor plannig, basic housing components are null. gabbage collection is non existent. access to housing is almost impossible. electficity is errortic. water is a pipe dream.
3. health- it is in dissaray. medicine either lacks or are fake,stolen oru expired. lack of basic healthcare facilities. affordability of healthcare.
pathetic medical equipments.uderpaid hospital staff.
4.politics-it the most descripit system of governance in the world. the constitution is the most contradictory law of the land. visionless leaders. defunct separation of governance and power. corrupt politicians. dormant civil service. tribal politics.nepotism. big man syndrome.

what steps have nigerians taken to lend credit towards becoming a super power. there are dozens of countries who are better of than superpower countries. newzeland,canada, japan and indonesia are few of the countries who are in the league of contention of superpower but never seen them fighting for that title. nigerians should be preoccupied with the fighti for better living condition and governance not how powerfull you are. nigeria has bigger oil deposits than botswana but has life improved for the better for the ordinary nigerian compared to any ordinary botswanans.no! bigger or super is not always better .

solomon111: STFU and focus on your god-forsaken country.
Bitter fool!

onyxo76: to be honest...i don't think so.maybe not in our generation,we can keep dreaming though!!!

Air_Lord: All are r possible with God .
