Noted ...packs bag and heads to the nearest airport!

Noted. But the most important thing is relative peace.

D list is old...

bigtt76: Noted ...packs bag and heads to the nearest airport!

Where to?

In Egypt, you have the Muslim Brotherhood uprising and they are killing Christians.

In South Africa, Nigerians are fast becoming 'persona non grata' and are under attacks and harassments.

In Algeria, you also have the throat-cutting Muslim Brotherhood killing Christians.

In Nigeria, you have the fraudster government officials stealing us dry.

In Morocco, you dare not be caught stealing as common in Nigeria.

In Angola, you'd better be an Angolan to steal like a Nigerian.

In Libya, Nigerians are still suspect in protecting Ghadaffi, and many are still languishing in prisons, plus, they are burning Churches and forcing Christians to convert under threat of beheading.

In Sudan, you may be caught up in North-South conflicts over control of oil.

In Tunisia, there are many Nigerians already, trying to cross the desert to Europe, so it can't be 'Uhuru'.

In Ethiopia, you have only the maize farms to work on and I doubt if a Nigerian would want to fit into the rigors of subsistence farming with cutlass and hoe. Even then, where is the land for you in a country fast encroached by desertification?

We'd better find ways to get our acts together as a nation so we can enjoy Nigeria. Even, "Andrew" died without being able to check out!!!

emmy-richie:
Noted. But the most important thing is relative peace.

Sure, I 'love' the peace of Boko Haram, Niger Delta pirates, kidnappers, ritualists, police bullets, political thuggery causing stampede at political gatherings and church events, multiple taxations on the poor, government looking away while the girls in power buy bullet proof cars, politicians building empires that tempt even the poorest to consider violence to retrieve their own share, ... what else?

wey Ghana dey?

.......

Suprised Our "Noisy Neighbour" ain't there!

The North African Countries are Quite Rich though!

wazoboy: wey Ghana dey?

3rd most corrupt country in the world.

This list is not correct. Op how did you come about this information?

Dont wanna sound racist but truth be told, black Africa is sick. This list shows that the blacks are still very backward globally. North africans(Arabs) control morethan half of africa's economy. South Africa is doing well cos of the huge presence of the whites. That nigeria is even third is cos of oil, we need to ask ourselves questions.

It seems black people have a particular problem and propably sick upstirs. Check out the rich African countries are not suppose to be near subsahran african countries if u consider their resources and human capital. Yet egypt that relies on arabian and american aid, tunisia with little resource other than few oil feilds, morroco and algeria are toping the list.
Even white help develop South africa while angola had no choice than to quickly develop her economy about 10years ago after a decade of war.
Where is our diamond, gold, oil, copper, iron, aluminium, our valuable mineral resources, huge human resources, fertile soil, Natural tourism terrain etc. All we know how to do is evil to one and other, blame white for our problems, incite tribal/ethnic hatred to cover up our greed, incompetence and corruptions.
We just have to wake up and do something about it.

Lol, You say Angola had no choice but to develope their economy after decades of war, why do u make it look like a bad thing. I think u are dumb. What do u say about the fact that these Arab countries are in turmoil, and seeing negative growth, while SSA have the highest growth in world after Asia.

khadaffi: This list is not correct. Op how did you come about this information?

If you check the top, you will notice I only quoted Todays Nigeria, an online news portal. Definitely not my idea. But if I were to post my views, Nigeria cannot be up there in 3rd place with the enlarging youth populace unemployment.

Honestly, I will agree more with you. But you need to note that the indices quoted by Todays Nigeria was a 1999 conclusion, while luckily, you seem to be updating us. We would appreciate if you please let's know your source too so that we can be more comfortable with accepting it.

iterator25: bros, no vex o, Who be Andrew?

iterator25: bros, no vex o, Who be Andrew?

Sorry, it seems I'm talking over some heads here. You may not know Andrew unless you were up to the age of understanding in the early 80s. Then, there was this government promo on TV to encourage Nigerians stay at home to develop the nation during Idi Agbon's "War Against Indiscipline", WAI campaign. The military had taken over power and the junta led by Buhari and Idi Agbon had a firm grip on the nation for their perceived purpose of stamping out corruption. I must confess, they did to a large extent succeed, but with gross partiality in some cases, though, until Babangida outsted them and reinstitutionalized a new form of 'corruption by patronage'.

Late actor, Enebeli Omobuwa (I hope I got that name right) was renamed "Andrew" by Nigerians because he played the part of a character 'Andrew', who suddenly packed his bag and baggage and solioquised on his way to the airport to exit Nigeria for good on TV: "I'm tired, men, I'm checking out. I'm tired of this no light, no roads, no water, no ....", but a voice from nowhere tried to convince Andrew not to check out but stay to help build the nation. The actor, Enebeli, I believe, died a couple of years ago.

Methink, maybe before he died, he would have wished that he finally checked out because most of those who did have better to show for leaving Nigeria now. A lot of Nigerians in diaspora have been able to work hard abroad and send back home money to build houses and for upkeep of their families while many those who were encouraged in hope by government to stay are still here just trying to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the politicians still continue to encourage us to hope in their false promises based on their inabilities to build a better Nigeria.

If you ask me now, I'll say, "Omo, you are on your own o. If you get chance for "ja" from Naija and you no seize am."

The list is very wrong.
Southafrica is the largest GDP followed by Nigeria as at the end of 2012.
Egypt is third and would soon be displaced to fourth due to the various crisis in their country.

HolyHolla: Todays Nigeria reports:

Well every country has money, some more, some less but it's not really about who has more money, it's about how the country utilizes it's money. Reading this list might make some of us disappointed cause there's nothingto show for it.
Africa is one of the largest continents in the world and the home to 53 nation states.

1. Egypt: The country has a highly developed economy, and she is the first richest country in Africa having 467,600 dollars GDP (PPP).

2. South Africais the second richest country of Africa and is ranked 25th in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) as of 2009. GDP (PPP) of South Africais 403,900 dollars while GDP per capita is 227.379 billion dollars. South Africais the largest energy producer and consumer on the continent. The country is also a popular tourist destination, and a substantial amount of revenue comes from tourism. Among the main attractions are the diverse and picturesque culture, the game reservesand the highly regarded local wines.

3. Nigeria is the third richest country of Africa continent having $ 294,800 billions GDP compared on purchasing power parity GDP per capita of Nigeria is 165.437 billion dollars with growing population. Nigeria is currently the 50th largest export market for U.S goods and the 14th largest exporter of goods to the U.S. Nigeria used part of itsoil profits to pay the residual 40% freeing up at least $ 1.15 billion annually for poverty reduction programs.

4. Algeria is the fourth richest country of Africa having $ 268,900 dollars GDP (PPP) while GDP per capita of Algeria is 134.797 billion dollars estimated by IMF in 2009.

Exactly!

According to CIA world Fact book, as at 2012, Nigeria is already bigger than Egypt and is closing in to surpass South Africa.
1. South Africa: $384.3 billion (2012 est.)
2. Nigeria: $268.7 billion (2012 est.),
3. Egypt: $256.7 billion (2012 est.),

Nigeria is perhaps already bigger than South Africa if you consider that SA base calculation is from 2002, while Nigeria's is from 1990.

Sure, you make a lot of sense. I too don't agree that Nigeria is high up there. I know for sure that most of the indices supplied officially by Fed Min of Finance are cooked up.
