Why stop there? Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ethiopia, Burundi and Uganda, even DRC are all ahead of Nigeria. Walking dunce.

cnnamoko: nice states too, i wud hv replaced kastina wif edo, but i jus wanna balance it...bt edo is tight, i thought abt it

If ur post was aimed 2 amuse us, then i think u did well, if not, pls click edit. I'm from anambra, but what you typed here are lies and very childish. For God's sake lets challenge our leaders to do more, we should stop telling lies simply cos we wana feel superior. Anambra presently do not have any 'modern' shoping mall unless if u r refering to the plazas in various markets. Gov obi said he will build about 3 though. Pls stop telling lies

Rossikk:

You are wrong. By today's and yesterday's standards nations are classified as either developed or developing. There's no such thing as an ''undeveloped country'' in educated, informed parlance. That is a beer parlour phrase borne of intellectual laxity and ignorance.

ShyM-X:


You judge development based on the road network, amenities, infrastructures etc. - and not your obscured village mansion surrounded by unpaved muddy roads...

Nigeria is massive village!

nnenna.1:


Ok, so where does Nigeria fall?

Certainly not in the "developed" category, that's for sure.

ShyM-X:


Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda are arguably more developed than Nigeria as well....

Rossikk:

Tell me the truth. Did you see the four walls of a university? You really sound like a primary school dropout. Even in secondary school I'd never had typed something so...daft.

nnenna.1:


You said that countries are either developed or developing, correct?

Going by your line of reasoning above, would you classify Nigeria as developed?

Rossikk:

Nigeria is a DEVELOPING NATION.

Well said by a numbskull who has never stepped foot in ANY SINGLE ONE of these countries, and would cry for his mummy the minute his dumbass did.

ShyM-X:


Err... Add Cape Verde, Seychelles, Djibouti, Botswana, and Libya to the list....

Rossikk:

Nigeria is a DEVELOPING NATION. Like India, Pakistan, Brazil, Ghana, Mexico, China, Chile, Peru, Kenya. All DEVELOPING NATIONS.

nnenna.1:


Is it developed? Damn!

Rossikk:
Mentioning these tiny countries with huge resources is pointless. By the same token Kuwait, Brunei, and UAE are more developed than the US, Germany, and Japan. The US is filled with millions of homeless people. Kuwait is not. So Kuwait is more developed than the US and Germany. That's the contradiction you get from comparing apples with oranges.

Rossikk:

It is DEVELOPING. Can your thick skull not entertain the notion of a work in progress?

okpara ugo:

I know you have not been there akuya. Why claim what you dont know?

okpara ugo:

Okay, SHOPPING MALL is replaced with PLAZA

Anambra does not belong to Obi, he has only 8yrs on the seat. It may be your state but it isnt mine but i appreciate its development.

I have been round naija so i know what development is and Anambra is developed.

Amya:

Well, you're a Nigerian, and if you think the country is one big rot, if you like live in mars you are part of that rot bro.

nnenna.1:


You were the one who gave two defining categories of

1) Developing
2) Developed

Where a country can be one but not the other.

Therefore, if a country is developing, it is not developed.

Gerrit?

We are both on the same page

Vision2017: Delta shouldn't make the list. Truth be told, there are only 2 major cities in Delta and these are Asaba the state capital and Warri. Other glorified towns cum cities are only but a mere shadow of what a city should be. Delta is mostly beclouded by thick bushes and forest virtually everywhere. Nothing is happening in Delta and I can't help but wonder why Delta made your list of the most developed state in Nigeria. Delta remains a dungeon where wild animals thrives

Rossikk:

Suit yourself. But we are by no means unique. Here's an interesting fact:

What percentage of the world's population lives in developing countries?
Answer:

According to the Human Development Index, a development scale of 0-1, there are 35 countries and territories/dependencies with a development level of 0.9 or above, meaning "highly developed".
The total population (as of 7/1/2008) of the countries in that category is 978,186,023 or 14.6% of world population (6,706,992,932).
This means that 85.4% (5,727,771,964) of the world's population lives in developing countries.

nnenna.1:
Most of the world has not reached its potential in terms of being developed.

We have advanced first-world economies existing in several continents, so we know that there is already a standard that Nigeria falls short of in every sense of the word.

Now if Nigeria were transported to the 19th Century or something then we may have a point about the country being developed (for its time).

Rossikk:

Who would have guessed? The way some people talk here you would think Nigeria was the only country on earth not to have ''reached its full potential of being developed''. smh.

Meanwhile, an even more important question we should be asking, but are not, is where is all the energy required to power the 'development' of 85% of the world's population going to come from? And at what cost to the planet?
