India is a nation on the rise. They are not China yet but fast becoming China.
The problem with Nigeria is we are not productive. If Nigerians are as productive as China and every citizen pays substantial amount as tax then govt will be happy to have more citizens. In Nigeria oil income meets our needs largely and this oil income doesn't grow by population.
The only reason Nigerian leader love population growth is for election purpose.


Stop spewing falsehood. Nigerians are very productive. Nigerians do extremely well outside. Like in US Nigerians are known to be very productive.

The problem is having the right leadership that will be able to create the right pathway and blueprint for the development of Nigeria. A leadership that will harness Nigeria's natural and human resources effectively. Rwanda has gotten that in Paul Kagame. Leadership is the key.

Thats what you get with Quality Leadership


Nigerians can never stand the kind of leadership they have in Rwanda.. Someone ruling them since year 2000 and i dont think he is leaving anytime soon.

In 3+ years, we have started calling Buhari a dictator. Now imagine someone that had been around since year 2000 and that jail opposition for daring to contest against him...

In summary, no quality leadership in Africa my guy...

If there are no open drainages people will not throw waste in them. The problem is govt problem.

We need change of mindset down here. Government property is our property. Don't do things that will damage the environment and make it look filthy. Here people throw things on the road and into the gutters anyhow. These wastes end up blocking the few drainages that we have, and the water remains on the road thereby leading to potholes

Probably because of their huge resources(i.e revenue) to complement it. Resources and population goes hand in hand. Compare with India which population is almost same with China but generate much lower revenue.


and don't forget that they are not running a democracy. So it is easier to get things done wthout all these going back and forth that we have between the Legislative and Executive arms of the government.

India is much smaller geographically compared to China. This would not be a fair comparison. The people in India are free, unlike china where there is government restriction even to have 2 kids until recently. Google, banned, youtube banned, facebook banned - muslims ill-treated. To me that is an oppressive society.
An oppressive society that get things done. Besides the people aren't revolting and recent polls and surveys etc shows they believe in their government 100%! They love their communism unlike North Korea.

Are you saying that Nigeria did not exist before independence?
Your family and your people have no history before 1968, which is 50 years ago?
Is that what you mean?
Does that make sense to you

Nigeria became an independent Nation 1960. Before they were ruled by the British. Before then they were just scattered tribes. It was Europeans that even gave it a shape.
So Nigeria is 58 years of age. US is over 300years, Europe has more than 3000years of administrative history as far back as Alexander the great, Greek and Roman Empire. If you read the bible , Jesus was born when Ceaser Augustus then emperor of Rome decreed census for the entire Roman Empire. So Mary and Joseph went back to Bethlehem there village to be counted and Jesus was then Born.

China has been civilised as far back as before Christ.

That's not true

I have been to so so many cities and villages across Africa (At the last count, more than 50)
So I know what I'm saying

In ivory Coast, I have been to Khorhogo, Man, Abidjan, Yamaosoukro and even Bouaké

The development's in each of these places is better than their counterparts in Nigeria

Even villages close to the border with Liberia has constant electricity and in some cases running water

How many cities in Nigeria can boast of that?

In Benin I have been ri cotonou, Abomey, Abomey Cakavi, Ouudah, even Parakou
even though the infrastructures there are not spectacular, they maintain it and it is functional enough, with running water from a central board and electricity everywhere

What of Togo? Lomé and Atakpame try very much in infrastructures (running water and electricity)
unfortunately they are not economically buoyant like say Nigeria or ivory Coast

Ghana nko? I have been to Cape coast, Accra, Tema and Kumasi.
What they have on ground is functional, and they are expanding their infrastructures into takoradi, even to Kakum village, I saw all these with my eyes.
though their water system is kind of fractured and the country expensive due to high vat, they still try and the development spread

Let me not go into other places I have seen, let's just manage this ones first

The painful truth is that the rest of Africa is progressing abeit at a slow rate, and leaving us behind


We need to sit up
although I have not been to most of the place u mentioned except Lome, doula , Kumasi and some few places, all what I know this people can boost of Is electricity if not they are not better than Nigeria

So your family and your ancestors were not civilised until the geographical area called Nigeria was put together by the British and/or before independence of 1960?
How many people around you have a similar view of themselves and their societies/country?
You obviously don’t know your history and the parallels with the history of others.
Pathetic!

Only 12.5 million people? That's even less than Lagos population. No wonder Nigeria is viewed as the Giant of Africa. Autojosh show us a country in Africa of about 200 million with no pot holes, that'll be a fair comparism. Nevertheless it will be nice to tour Kigali

And which census figure give u that 200 million??

What Africans have were just tribes. They were not organised. The part of Africa that was even bit organised was even northern Africa including northern Nigeria.

When the British came for example to Nigeria Northern Nigeria were already organized. They already had administrative structures so they were given direct rule by the colonialists but southern Nigeria had no structure therefore it was much harder to be ruled and that structure is still reigning supreme even till today in Nigeria. The north is more organized politically so hold the ace in politics in Nigeria.


Then for Africa, go through history first the Tran's Atlantic Slave Trade and then colonialism. Especially for colonialism, was Africa organized that Europeans n Berlin of late 1897 shared Africa among themselves?

Please face the Truth. All those were mere tribes which the Europeans subjugated with mere shooting of gun. They were just tribes, nothing more
