Holland Earns More From Agriculture Than Nigeria Earns From Crude Oil by Impactever(m): 10:36am On Jun 04, 2019
Let us all chew these economic realities:

By DR OBINNA ALIGWEKWE ....( A UK BASED NIGERIAN MEDICAL DOCTOR)


1. Holland, a small nation at 42,000 square kilometers, is smaller than Yobe state, the sixth largest state in Nigeria.
At 17 million people, her population is dwarfed by that of Nigeria.
------
Yet Holland earned more from AGRICULTURE, than Nigeria earned from selling crude oil.
------------------------------------------------------------------


2. Singapore, a tiny nation of 722 square kilometers, is about the size of Alimosho and Ikorodu local governments.
At a national population of 5.5 million people, all its inhabitants cannot even form a bloc vote to elect a Nigerian president.
---------


Yet, Singapore generated more electricity than the whole Nigerian nation, an average of 10,000Megawatts.
Singapore's major port generated much more revenue than our federal government is budgeting for all expenses, including the padded version.
------------------------------------------------------------------


3. South Korea has no oil.
At a crude oil production rate of zero barrels per day, she is dwarfed by Nigeria's output of 2.2 million barrels per day.
-------
Yet, South Korea refines almost 2.5 million barrels per day, while Nigeria imports petrol.
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is more where that came from.

Iraq and electricity?

South Africa and infrastructure?

Ethiopia and transport?

Ghana and aviation?

Benin Republic and maritime?

He went further to say that :

"There is a reason why when it is time to comment about Nigeria and socio-political issues, I hang my jocular mien and come out guns blazing"

"Nigeria may spend several generations playing catch-up, and that is even assuming we start getting it right at this moment, which I am afraid we haven't."

Maybe you need to do a better findings.

Now let me brief you ......Holland was formerly a name given to the 2 most popular provinces in Netherlands.

Holland was where the Dutch East India Company was founded and it was where all the major ports and centers of commerce were. So when the Netherlands were established in 1584, foreigners were still dealing with Holland most of the time.

That's why Holland became synonymous for the whole country, much to the chagrin of other provinces.

Thus in this Modern days / Present days,

The Entire Netherlands is referred to as Holland .

you can find out.



Now back to my post .....The Holland in my Headline refers to the entire Netherlands as a country.


HOLLAND = NETHERLANDS

The same country ....( but has two names)

Thank you.

This is how you fail exams repeatedly and blame village people who do not know you. Believe what you want. It is not even the capital of the Netherlands and at best is only used informally.

You have come here to share information on a country you don't even know. No serious person will pay attention to you.

Believe what you want, at least I've done my part to educate you.

Hahaha...you just shot yourself at the foot....


No point embarking on unnecessary argument with you , I have taken notice of your Low level of comprehension......

The screenshot you just posted even made it clear to you that Netherlands as a country is informally referred to as Holland .....

Same country ( Two names)

which is a confirmation of my earlier post ....but your " I too know" mentality will not allow you to comprehend it.



maybe you need a special help to improve your comprehensive ability....


Moreover, whether you comprehend it or not....

Learn that from me today, Netherlands as a country is otherwise known as Holland .....Quote me anywhere in the world...



And most importantly, Stop deviating from the purpose of the post......And learn to give your opinion on any issue without insulting anyone .....

Thank you ...
