Nigeria could join a handful of countries including China that would be pivotal in shaping the world’s economy by the year 2030 according to a report by the super secret United States National Intelligence Council, NIC.

The NIC report just released, projects an idea of what the world would look like in the future.

The report which is an articulation of expertise opinion from the US intelligence community released last December, however, admits that it may not be exact.

It is a fact many Nigerian experts would appreciate given earlier expertise opinion from the United States army that Nigeria may implode by the year 2015.

The report could come handy to Nigerian administration officials working towards the goal of putting Nigeria among the top 20 economies by the year 2020.

In the report on Global Trends 2030, the report notes that the United States and Europe would be overwhelmed by the economic powers of Asian countries as China and other Asian countries and Brazil take a leading role in dictating the pace of the world economy.

China according to the report would just overtake the US before 2030 as the world’s biggest economy.

Other powers including Nigeria according to the report, would also jump to the top in global economic ranking.

“In addition to China, India, and Brazil, regional players such as Colombia , Indonesia , Nigeria , South Africa and Turkey will become especially important to the global economy,” the report says.

“The diffusion of power among countries will have a dramatic impact by 2030. Asia will have surpassed North America and Europe combined in terms of global power, based upon GDP, population size, military spending, and technological investment.

China alone will probably have the largest economy, surpassing that of the United States a few years before 2030.

“Meanwhile, the economies of Europe, Japan, and Russia are likely to continue their slow relative declines.”

Since its establishment in 1979, the NIC has served as a bridge between the intelligence and policy communities, a source of deep substantive expertise on intelligence issues.

we don hear

cockyjay: we don hear

This could be your most intelligent comment ever.

The report, of course, assumes that Nigeria will remain one country by then. That isn't guaranteed.

Most important word in this write-up is "may". That is one hell of a may

Ok

Shollypopz: Most important word in this write-up is "may". That is one hell of a may

I believe, I believe, I believe!

*dusting my Nigerian Passport, and calling Bros to make sure my parcel of land in the village is still in tact****

#lets go there!

vision 2030

vision 2030 not 2020 again?

[size=13pt]i dont like these words MAY, MIGHT, NEARLY, LIKELY, ETC...[/size]

let them wait till 2015 and see the level of damage mr jonathan would have done before them forcast o.

Future past tense...
May be with adeboye or ortisejafor as a president then.
Fellow countrymen my right candidate for 2030 will be st Guru maharaj...lmao...nigeria has a long way to go.

Ok

2Legit2Qui: This could be your most intelligent comment ever.

what a messed up comment,this early morning

Why do we love bad news so much, I think if they have siad something bad will happen the whole place will be flooded with comments

I thought the CIA predicted Nigeria will breakup by 2010?

Watch out, that oafish drunken fisherman would grin when he sees this and come on National tv with dsame grin to extole his admin's sterlin performance with the report as evidence!
Done it before he has. Do it again he will.

These guyz have ways of psyching us up
Anyway, we will get there, psyche or no psyche!

US don dey find another interest in Nigeria lol..

Oh wait! Their puppet is in power so we won't hear criticisms well enough now.

Wait till a patriotic Nigerian is there. And we'll get words like, Nigeria will break in 2015, Nigeria has wasted 1trillion dollars, Nigeria is a nest of fraudsters.

They only say the truth when they are not favoured!! Yankee Yankee, home of deceit!

Something positive at least. This for all I care is subject to the country's move in the right direction. The north east and some parts of the north hell bent on pursuing their obscure agenda, MAY not be part of that move.

So Vision 2020 is now shifted to 2030 from US experts?

Thats goodnews.But i hope GEJ speech writers wont include
this in GEJ's next speech,because he's fond of
seeking such unsubstantiated approval rating to
make his govt look busy and progressive.Btw is
Nigeria not breaking again?Thought d same US
predicted it.Or has it suddenly bcom d case of 'D mouth that spoke evil against u will speak good
of you?'.It is well.

Jumping from about 60th largest Economy @ d beginning of last decade to d current position of 31st largest Economy in the World (GDP wise), only an accute pessimist will think it's not possible. I only pray and hope it'll transcend to serious development.

This is actually possible, if the Nigerian government can fix our electricity problems. Nigeria could have done all that 20 years ago, if government had provided electricity to the populace and industries. Without 24/7 electricity supply which is necessary for industries to bloom this report is only a dream.

2030!!!! C'mon are we that really slow in development?? And its 'MAY' which is even a probability!!! God help us

Same topic making front page same day, while other more relevant topics are ignored. Nepotism at its peak.

ok

How come a report that's supposed to be "super secret" is finding its way into Vanguard daily and Nairaland thread?
Abegi!!!

This is a comedy report. How on earth will Nigeria achieve this,when arm robber are the one overseeing the affairs of Nigeria. This is US way of misleading the patriotic nigerians to believe in greedy politicians because of their benefits from a failed system. Until we beckon on God for Moses who will take us out of Egypt,we cannot be among 20 top economies of the world.

You speak this way because your ears are destined for bad news. Why are we so despaired as a people? Because this report is not anti government or seem to promote the Nigerian state in good light, it becomes suspicious. Do you have to depend on America to know that Nigeria has the potentials of greatness if only good governance is entrenched? Wake up

whatsoever the motive of the US is, i still believe we have the potential to be one of the world's leading economies, even as early as 2020. All we need is, have a little faith in ourselves & in God
