You guys are boasting with what you import. You enrich countries like china,us,japan,germany etc and you are proud of it.

The question Nigeria as a country and its citizens should be asking is:-
1. Why should Nigeria's population a liability instead of asset
The Nigerian population lacks a clear tax collection system in order to stop over dependency on oil revenue. The alternative of oil dependency could be internal revenue collection through revenue generated from its people as a resource.
2. What advantages can a big population have?
China has used their big population and high number of graduates as an asset by being a source of averagely cheap labor. Imagine if Nigeria turned its country as Africa's manufacturing hub with a free port it would be a world leader competing with China.

Yes Ghana is better but I believe Ivory Coast is way better.

Before the war Ivory coast was a so advanced and diverse in west Africa. It needs a visionary leader to return it to its former state.

Not true. there is not a single human development indicator that shows Cote d’Ivoire is doing better than Ghana. If you look at electricity for instance, just 30 per cent of Ivorians have access to electricity. 80.5 per cent of Ghanaians have access to electricity. If you look at water for instance, just about 30 per cent of Ivorians have access to water. At the end of this year, 85 per cent of Ghanaians will have access to water. Even Ghana outperform Kenya in this area.

You are right! There is need in Nigeria for the government to start depending mainly on taxes. This will change the country.

your gdp per capital is still below standard

http://data.devinit.org/country/nigeria
the Nigerian state spend just 704 dollars per person in Nigeria yearly
youre free to play around with that site

of course, Nigeria's gdp per capita is wayyy below standard... then again ghana's gdp per capita is lower which begs one to ponder why such a country that has more stability and less people than Nigeria is behind Nigeria in gdp per capita...

Fair enough,but do you really believe that Ghana is a West African regional giant?

Both Nigeria and Ghana are not worthy to emulate.we should be talking about an industrialised economy that we can model ourselves around, not countries that have achieved development by being a raw material or a cash crop-producing country. No country can develop on a sustainable basis in that manner.

Nigeria still remain the west Africa economy power house.and this is due to her population and oil wealth.she is not in anyway industrialized more than Ghana .but when it comes to good governance and democracy.Ghana is clearly a top notch in west Africa and among the top 4 in Africa. this had help Ghana economy to grow as well. but all in all much need to be done.

Nigeria is just like Dubai to Ghana it's only an idiot will compare sh1t ghana with Nigeria hahahaha.

Nigeria has a bigger manufacturing industry than Ghana.. and i believe manufacturing contributes more to Nigeria's GDP than Ghana... so in theory Nigeria is more industrialized than Ghana

Here is the list of the biggest malls in Africa-the only African country that beats Kenya on mall space is South Africa!

Literally owned? Since when? Last time I checked KPA was a state corporation!
