Nigeria Recognized As An Emerging Economy (MINT) by kobikwelu(m): 3:28pm On Jan 07, 2014
Read an excerpt from the article below

In 2001 the world began talking about the Bric countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - as potential powerhouses of the world economy. The term was coined by economist Jim O'Neill, who has now identified the "Mint" countries - Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey - as emerging economic giants. Here he explains why.


So what is it about the so-called Mint countries that makes them so special? Why these four countries?

A friend who has followed the Bric story noted sardonically that they are probably "fresher" than the Brics. What they really share beyond having a lot of people, is that at least for the next 20 years, they have really good "inner" demographics - they are all going to see a rise in the number of people eligible to work relative to those not working.

This is the envy of many developed countries but also two of the Bric countries, China and Russia. So, if Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey get their act together, some of them could match Chinese-style double-digit rates between 2003 and 2008.

when i read this a couple of days ago, i smiled and said...we will surely get there one day...for the full and revealing article..

as i have said before, our greatest problem and the key to our future rests with Power (Electricity)....if we can solve our power problem, i see us becoming a world power in 20 years..

what do you think?
