If I show you a graph of inequality in UAE, you will run. The wealth there is enjoyed only by the ruling royal family and their cohorts. It is actually written into their laws that x.x.x billion dollars goes to Sheikh this or Sheikh that's account every month.

The ONLY thing that stops the people starving is that they are few in number, so are easily fed.

Ojiofor:
Well,Well, Well Dubai people have everything while some regions in Nigeria have Tinubu and Buhari and they are happy.

scribble:


im not igbo

im from a tribe that makes $200k a year from my bed but what do you know

if una like make una eat buhari puna, e no concern me

MyGeneration:

Why some regions have nobody

Rossikk:


But Lagos is building Eko Atlantic, and it's not funded by oil money, and Lagos is not an oil-producing state.

The VERY SAME THING you see happening there in Dubai is what is happening here with Lagos and Eko Atlantic. But you are too fixated on worshiping white people and Arabs to notice developments in your own backyard.

MyGeneration:

I never called you an Igbo. You declared yourself one. Anybody who wants Nigeria to break is an enemy of the nation and to me is a Biafran

Tianamen1:


What percent of Lagosians are living in extreme poverty or even poverty as compared to people in Dubai.

Israel with no known resource is ranked 22nd.

Singapore a small patch of land composed of racially diverse people is ranked 8th.

Nigeria comes up one step behind Zimbabwe at 157. As bad as Robert Mugabe was as a leader and as useless as the Zimbabwean dollar is, the average Zimbabwean has a relatively better quality of life than the average Nigerian.

Venezuela that nigerians foolishly look down upon are ranked at 78.

We have no excuse to be doing this poorly other than mass misplacement of priorities and general illiteracy.

Rossikk:


WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH

This is how you dumb goats end up in slavery in Libya.

UAE is not rich today because they have ''incorruptible leaders''. THAT'S A LAUGH.

Go to Millionaires Row in London, and places like Beverly Hills and Monaco, and see how much billions of dollars 'oil sheikhs' from the UAE, Saudi, Kuwait etc, have siphoned from their countries to enrich themselves and live like kings.

The ONLY THING that saves them from popular revolt is the vast oil reserves they hold, much larger than Nigeria's - plus the TINY populations they have in their countries. UAE for instance has less than 10 million people, with 3 times Nigeria's oil and gas reserves.

So they can afford to loot the oil revenues while still keeping their populations happy.

So kindly USE YOUR HEAD next time before posting ignorant rubbish online.

Sorry since u don't like the truth, u will continue to wallow in suffering....useless Nigerian... hopeless...

Rossikk:


You don't compare Dubai with Lagos. You compare it with Eko Atlantic, which is our own version of Dubai coming up. Afterall before they built Dubai, the area was filled with poor cattle herders and donkeys.




Shush.. Israel is a tiny population of under 8 million and they receive BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CASH every year from the US.




Singapore is one of the 'tiger economies', a set of Asian nations specifically chosen by the western allies after WW2 to act as capitalist bulwarks against communism. These nations were given unprecedented access to western markets, interest-free loans, outright monetary grants, and massive transfer of technology. This was how they became 'tiger economies'.

The proof that they are artificial, is that their neighbours and brothers who were not chosen by the west, are still wallowing in underdevelopment. Places like Cambodia, Burma, Nepal, Mongolia, Laos, East Timor, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc.



A lot of these low indices have to do with the situation in the north. It's not really fair to rope in southerners in all these your doom and gloom statistics .

Tianamen1:


Most of what you wrote are excuses for failure and you know this as well as I do. Your most factual statement was in your last paragraph.

The question I pose to you now is how do we move this nation forward when a certain region does not value the basic matrices of development?

Without purpose driven leadership can we change the perceptions of core northerners? This should be you main warry

Rossikk:


They are not 'excuses'. They are facts. For instance if Israel didn't receive billions a year from the US, they'd be as poor as Yemen, next door. YOU are being naive by simply looking at nations as ''successful'' and ''unsuccessful'' without looking at HOW they arrived at the ''success''. For you, they simply got successful because they are more intelligent, hardworking etc, and the ''unsuccessful'' nations are that way because they are bad, corrupt, stupid, etc.

But that is what we call layman analysis. A very simplistic way of looking at the world.

To analyse nations, you must be familiar with structural sociology, economics, history, and geopolitics, and address their various idiosyncrasies within those parameters.





Indonesia is a progressive muslim country which practices moderate Islam and embraces technology. Northern Nigeria is not irredeemable.

GavelSlam:


Today, our problem is followership.

I've asked countless times on this forum, what policy of government today stifles growth.

What policies should be done away with and how quickly.

Ojiofor:


The people that have those two have absolutely nothing.

MyGeneration:

Keep living in denial.

Ojiofor:


You have nothing else but them.

MyGeneration:


E go do una like film but if una get sense una go know say Igbo man dae suffer. Amongst the major tribes na we dae suffer and struggle pass and u see nothing wrong with it.

Keep living in denial

Better wake up to the realities though that Nigeria is never going to break

These nations were given unprecedented access to western markets, interest-free loans, outright monetary grants, and massive transfer of technology. This was how they became 'tiger economies' (Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong).

actually u r wrong. endeavour to use your own brain

sure saudi and dubai etc have greedy leaders too but our problem in Nigeria is the very name Nigeria holding two fundamentally different people together

if north and south were to split today, you would have more accountability in both regions

its because of this unholy amalgamation that Nigeria is doomed.

igno citizenry can hold igbo leadership accountable with an igbo center and

hausa citizenry can hold hausa leadership accountable with an hausa centre
