5 Things Nigeria is Doing Better than America

These are 5 areas that Nigeria is clearly outdoing the US in.

1. Nigeria’s economy is growing five times faster than the US

Most people don’t associate “West Africa” and “booming economy”, but despite the global downturn, the region is home to some growth rates that would make Ronald Reagan blush. Right near the top of that list is Nigeria, that with an average growth rate of 8.1%, are experiencing more growth than the US (a pitiful 1.5%), the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and the entire European Union… combined.

2. Nigeria has stricter anti-piracy laws than the US

You read that right. Despite the RIAA, the MPAA, bills like SOPA and PIPA and 40,000 theaters all reminding you before a film of your moral integrity in regards to stealing cars, Nigeria are clearly ahead of America in fighting piracy. Their recent no tolerance laws have reaped some serious results: 26 anti-piracy raids, 6 million pirated works (worth US$5 million) seized and 145 arrests. Also, whereas arrests made in the US usually lead to a fine and a slap on the wrist for the offender, Nigerians convicted are facing prison, some for as long as 2 years for their offences.

3. Nigeria drinks more than the US.

Some may not consider this a way Nigeria is doing better than America, but for those college students who think nobody downs Natty Light like they do, Nigeria has something to say. Nigerians easily outdo Americans in alcoholic units per capita, but drinking Guinness is where they really shine. Consuming only a few hectoliters less than Ireland, Nigerians manage to drink significantly more of the black stuff than the US, despite Americans beer-guzzling ways and a population three times as large as Nigeria.

4. Nigerians care more about freedom of the press

Despite a historically free media, recent times have seen restrictive regimes doing their best Kim Jung Il impression with the media. But where other medias in Africa and Asia have been happy to roll over for their oppressive leaders, Nigerians would rather die than give up their rights, as several have. This past year, the Nigerian media won the Free Press Africa Award, partly in honor of the many journalists who died attempting to bring the truth to the masses. I’m not sure anyone at Fox News is planning on dying for their freedom anytime soon.

5. Nigeria, not America, is the world’s police.

Take a guess as to which country commits more troops to global peacekeeping operations than any other. If you’ve read the rest of this article so far, picked up on the theme and guessed Nigeria, you’d be correct. Nigeria ships off soldiers to 80 different countries in Africa, Europe and Asia. While Bangladesh is set to pass Nigeria’s contributions in the near future, they will still be contributing more soldiers than the EU and more than five times as many soldiers as the US. Team Nigeria World Police?

Dear Nairaland Moderators, how can these blatant lies and misleading information make front page? Nigeria economy growing at 8.1%? Really? Under this administration?

Please you guys should verify such sensitive information before pushing them to front page.

I wonder why we feel the need to sugarcoat the truth that we are down in the dumps.

There's absolutely no sense in claiming we are growing our economy faster than America. America is so advanced their growth curve has plateaued, with a GDP that is, modestly put, 50 times that of Nigeria. We, on the other hand, are only taking baby steps yet bringing down the roof every time our GDP improves by a couple thousands. If you wanna compare productivity, look at the size of GDP itself, and not the growth rate that affords no meaning out of context.

Secondly, I don't think a harsher punishment for wrongdoers is something I want to be proud of. In the same vein, according to your ideology, we should extol Sharia law and all the amputees we have created over the years.

You state Nigerians drink more alcohol than Americans. Well, I hope for your sake that you're wrong because when liver cirrhosis or cancer sets in - as is the most dreaded eventuality of alcohol excess- you would scour Nigeria for a hospital that can offer a liver transplant, and finding none!

Your fourth item is pure conjecture, and bereft of any fact.

Lastly, America is historically the world's police both overtly and covertly. As per contributions to UN peace keeping, the fact that all developed countries, in general, contribute far less, whilst developing nations contribute far more troops points that there are more variables to consider including remuneration. Lack of participation of developed countries in UN peacekeeping has been discussed at the UN Congress several times. And this trend may in fact be construed as indifference on the part of developed nations as they scarcely have any need for UN peacekeeping in their territories.

1. Nigeria became the global capital of EXTREME POVERTY in the year 2018, but somehow its economy is growing 5 times faster than America's.


2. Nigeria has stricter anti piracy laws than America, and yet Nigeria's anti piracy law is one outdated colonial law that doesn't even contain anything about digital online or electronic copyright infringements.
