Wrong. It depends on how developed a country is, at that point in time, which is not necessarily a reflection of its govt. A large population can make it more difficult to cater to all. There are hundreds of millions of illiterates and malnourished slum dwellers in India, despite that country being one of the fastest developing in the world. Hence you can list hundreds of small countries that are "better than" India, to use the op's naive, unschooled terminology. Fact is when comparing developing countries you MUST distinguish between the small nations and the large ones, or you're being thoughtless and ignorant. The smaller nations will generally have less problems than those with hundreds of millions of people.
so you mean that countries with smaller populations should be better than those with bigger populations?,ok,the following is a list of countries with high population yet better than nigeria;
1.china

2.india

3.U.s.a

4.brazil

5.indonesia

6.japan

7.Russia

8.Egypt

9.mexico

Nigeria is too big to be a country. Its better to divide it into two or three peacefully. That's my opinion.

Nigeria is only slightly bigger than Texas in the U.S and Texas isn't the biggest state in US, Alaska is. So saying Nigeria should divide because it's too big makes little sense.

The clamour for biafra is starting to make waves, but as long as that's where Nigeria's income comes from, it would be a difficult decision to split. Hell, why do you think biafrans themselves want biafra?

@OP u forgot two important facts abt dos countries, 1. They r not igbos 2. They r well educated
Igbos destroyed nigeria n now want to run awaay,
I will not collect a dime for enlightening you.

Pleas leave the jungle where you are! go to ANY State, where business is booming and make enquiry you will discover that more than 60% of their workforce are Igbo.
It is not that other tribes are not good but each of us have what we are very good at.
---
Back to the political arena, The North has ruled Nigeria for close to 40years out of 55years!
So please retract. that statement and face the North!
---
I know that you are thinking about GEJ, the acclaimed Igbo since he is from SS but note that during his 5years as against close to 40
a. A bag of rice is sold for N8000 as against N12,000 now
b. A bag of potato is sold for N1000+ as against N10,000 now
c. Fuel was never sold for N130-N600 as against what is obtainable now
d. There was no massive deportation as to what we are. seeing today
e. He was not the one that sold Bakassi!
f. Some governors that worked under him irrespective of the party did well
g. Apart from those witch hunt by the Buhari led administration, majority of his ministers are wanted internationally
h. He was not involve in the Haliburton scandal
I. He helped quench the activities of Militants in SS as against what is going on with the Bokoharam insurgency.
j. I will be happy if you can numerate PMBs achievement even if it is not much or better still achievements from the close to 40 years of rule from the north! Not to mention OBJ 8years of rule where he almost sold the whole of Nigeria.

Tinubu has succeeded in brain washing many Nigerian via media due to his greed for power!

go and master your history book,when aguiyi ironsi(the only igbo man that ruled nigeria)was in office,the economy of the eastern region was the largest in africa and one of the fastest growing economy in the world,up till the extent the malaysians came to buy palm seeds from that region in order to grow like them and they have succeded,it's nigeria that is holding the igbos back and not igbos holding nigeria.

hahahaha just 6months and the economy was the largest in Africa ?

Lol guy, no need argue.....especially over information that's readily available. Naija big pass Texas

Well, Nigeria is larger than Texas. Look at the details:
Area: 923,768 km2
Ranking: 37th largest country about twice the size of
California

Texas:
Area: 696,200 km2 and larger than France or even Germany
Rank: 40th largest if it was a country

So in all, Nigeria is larger than Texas by over 200,000 km2.

When your govt refused to build any industries so how's it the fault of middlemen who import those goods the country refuses to produce.
The Awusafulani and the Ofei' tribesmen have ruled this country since 1970...and that's the year Nigeria's free fall due to gravitynepotism and corruption started.
In my view, let Igbos forget about ruling the country but focus on an independent Biafra.
