ROSSIKE: WHAT A LOAD OF DUMBED DOWN GARBAGE. FOR YOUR INFORMATIUON YOU SHALLOW MINDED, NON-RESEARCHING SELF LOATHERS, THE ONLY REASON, REPEAT: THE ONLY REASON South Korea is a develooped nation today is that after WW2, the victorious western allies led by the US decided to create STRONG CAPITALIST BULWARKS to checkmate the spread of COMMUNISM in the Asia Pacific. This they did by CHOOSING a specific set of Pacific nations to which they granted UNPRECEDENTED FINANCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT INCLUDING, MOST IMPORTANTLY, UNLIMITED ACCESS TO WESTERN MARKETS FOR THEIR FINISHED PRODUCTS. Right on point. South Koreans were sold Jesus Christ and the American dollar. America built South Korea without question. 3 Likes |

atlwireles:i do not want to get into senseless argument. ibadan remains one of the most viable and livable cities in nigeria. you can argue all day all you want. the number of expatriates living in ibadan is only second to lagos and they are making serious money there. it remains the collection point for gum arabic, leather etc coming from the north for the export market.she produces most of the poultry/piggery products in nigeria. cashewnut,Kolanut ,banana and plantain coming from hinterlands of the southwest. ibadan was built for being an historical open city and as such, was a natural capital for the western region. |

The creation of stable macroeconomic environments was the foundation upon which the Asian miracle was built. Each of the four Asian tiger states managed, to various degrees of success, three variables in: budget deficits, external debt and exchange rates. Each tiger nation’s budget deficits were kept within the limits of their financial limits, as to not destabilize the macro-economy. South Korea in particular had deficits lower than the OECD average in the 1980s. External debt was non-existent for Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, as they did not borrow from abroad. 1 Like |

Obiagu1: ''Shortly after the end of the Korean War, the United States started growing concerned with Communism's growing popularity among impoverished nations. It had previously helped South Korea defend its borders to prevent the further spread of Communism, and so decided to aid South Korea in developing its market by subsidizing (paying for) 70% of South Korea's exports. This subsidy meant that Koreans could sell products such as rice on the world market for greatly reduced prices (since the United States government was shouldering most of the cost), giving Korean corporations a significant advantage over the companies of other developing economies such as Egypt or Ecuador. This advantage helped Korea transition from a subsistence economy producing largely agricultural products (like rice) to a major manufacturer of goods in just seven years (1953-1960).

ROSSIKE: Throughout India's history, the vast majority of its people have lived in desperate poverty. As recently as 1985, more than 90 percent of Indians lived on less than a dollar a day. Yet India is poised to undergo a remarkable transformation. New research from the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) shows that within a generation, the country will become a nation of upwardly mobile middle-class households, consuming goods ranging from high-end cars to designer clothing. In two decades the country will surpass Germany as the world's fifth largest consumer market. The headlines of India's growth story are well known —after the country began reforming in the early 1990s, economic growth jumped to about 7 percent. It slowed in the late '90s but since 2002 has proceeded at a blistering pace, surpassed only by China among the world's large economies. Less well known is how this growth is reshaping the lifestyle of Indian families. MGI's research portrays a dramatic transformation that will touch Indians up and down the income pyramid, from the poorest rural farmer to the wealthiest IT entrepreneur. Companies that fail to understand the unique desires and tastes of the new Indian consumer will miss out on a half-billion-strong market that along with China ranks as one of the most important growth opportunities of the next two decades. One of our most striking findings is how dramatically recent growth has reduced the numbers of the poorest Indians, a group we call the deprived. They earn less than 90,000 Indian rupees a year ($1,969 per household, or about a dollar per person per day), and include subsistence farmers and unskilled laborers who often struggle to find work. They can be found across India, from its isolated villages to its sprawling urban slums. Many depend on government-subsidized food to get enough calories each day. Since 1985, the ranks of the deprived have fallen from 93 percent to 54 percent of the population, as 103 million people moved out of desperate poverty and many millions more were born into less grim circumstances. When we factor in population growth, there are 431 million fewer deprived Indians today than there would have been had the poverty rate remained stuck at its earlier level, making India's economic reforms the most effective antipoverty program in its history. If growth continues at its recent pace, we expect a further 291 million people to move out of poverty over the next two decades. Most of these former poor will move into the class we call the aspirers, households earning between 90,000 and 200,000 rupees ($1,969-$4,376) per year. Aspirers are typically small shopkeepers, farmers with their own modest landholdings or semiskilled industrial and service workers. Their lives are not easy, but aspirers generally have enough food and might own items such as a small television, a propane stove and an electric rod for heating water. They spend about half of their income on basic necessities, and many of their other purchases are bought secondhand or in what Indians call the "informal economy." Over the next 20 years this group will shrink from 41 percent of the population to 36 percent, as many of them move up into the middle class. The next two groups—seekers, earning between 200,000 and 500,000 rupees ($4,376- $10,941), and strivers, with incomes of between 500,000 and 1 million rupees ($10,941-$21,882)—will become India's huge new middle class. While their incomes would place them below the poverty line in the United States, things are much cheaper in India. When the local cost of living is taken into account, the income of the seekers and strivers looks more like $23,000 to $118,000, which is middle class by most developed-country standards. Seekers range from young college graduates to mid-level government officials, traders and business people. They enjoy a lifestyle that most of the world would recognize as middle class and typically own a television, a refrigerator, a mobile phone and perhaps even a scooter or a car. Although their budgets are stretched, they scrimp and save for their children's education and their own retirement. |

It is apparent you omitted one strong suit playing to the advantage of the South Korea which is homogeneous society. Other than the Japanese and Chinese whose stay in Korea is still regarded as temporary, South Koreans equate citizenship with membership in a single, homogeneous ethnic group. If USA and its allies granted the same economic and technological assistance to Nigeria, the result could not have been better than what is obtained in Nigeria today. |

Everybody knows that US influence is what has being helping South Korea and Japan... In Korea and Japan, they practice "reasonable" capitalism, here in Nigeria, when discussions like this are brought up, people can't stop complaining about how the govt is failing to tackle poverty, agricultural problems, oil thefts, etc... Very few actually realise that Nigeria is practicing the so-called "mixed economy"... nevertheless, we need a change of attitude from everybody in order to move this country forward... 2 Likes |
