America is a country with a similar nature with Nigeria, old slaves and immigrants or citizens which is similar to our numerous tribes,despite that they where able to combat this challenge to hit the position as world power,Nigeria on the other hand has not shown change in tribalism or religious clashes, our people don't know when to rebel or maybe they lack the guts,Nigeria doesn't have a college voting system and we count our votes by the number of people instead of by the number of states,in other words the similarities between Nigeria and america is so much but the difference is where the succeed we fail yes america is over a hundred to two hundred years older than Nigeria and 20times the size of Nigeria,at some point america had no oil but they built refineries as a means of trade knowing that African or Nigerian leaders are greedy and corrupt ,they foresaw our under development and knew our leader would not spend money to build refineries if they bought PMS at affordable prices, now sooner or later the major oil importing countries are going to stop importing oil,our country is still yet to come up with a plan to support the economy when oil stock crashes, thats why its a failed state. I fear for this nation its almost finished and we are all seeing it with no solution or revolution.

Hmmmm.

Great thoughts. I agree to the guts part.
We got no guts!

Just because someone calls you a failure doesn't mean you are a failure.
You only become a failure when you decide to see yourself in a cloak of failure.

Nigeria is not a failed state, it's just a "slow thriving" country of men who are devilishly corrupt.

True

Hating on what exactly?

A country that cannot boast of quality healthcare, constant electricity, good roads, security and is riddled with corruption, boko haram insurgency, high rates of poverty, crime etc?

You need to stop being delusional. Ordinary Ghana have better infrastructure. We are the laughing stock of Africa

Ghana has a much more lower population that's manageable, with their given resources. Can the same be said about Nigeria?

Don't you think our exploding population, is a real worry, coupled with poor, inconsistent and untrustworthy leaderships and policies?

Are there still Ghanaians in that certified sh1thole? Tell them to come home ASAP. Tell them nigerians are rushing to Ghana in tens of thousands every day. Five million Nigerians in Ghana and the number is growing. How market? How poverty? Fuckeduppedness

So what are Ghanaians doing in Nigeria? why are they not in Ghana since Ghana is so great?

And China?

China does have better ways of managing the population. FFS, they've got quality leadership. You can't compare China with Nigerianm, in terms of leadership. They've got workable policies that they see through, to ensure balance.

I don't believe we are a failed state yet.... we just need to get our act together. ......

Nigeria has yet again been ‘disgraced’ internationally, following an assignment Harvard University gave to its students in which Nigeria was used as a case study of a failed African country.


The question Harvard University gave its students reads;

Africa is growing. Seven of the the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, and the continent’s largest economies are becoming less dependent on extractive commodities. The continent’s rising middle class has demonstrated a taste for consumer goods and technological innovation, and Africa’s population-currently more than a billion people- is booming and overwhelmingly young at a time when populations in other regions are shrinking and aging.

Nigeria, sub-saharan Africa’s largest economy, epitomizes both the promise and the problems the continent faces in the 21st century. The contry had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation, despite having a developmental head start relative to countries like China and India, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue.. Now, after pathbreaking reforms followed by signs of retrenchment, Nigeria’s new President faced both vast opportunity and grave challenges. Would the country flourish or founder in this new era? We will analyze key reforms in Nigeria’s economy, significant political developments, and the choices facing the country’s fast-growing private sector.

1. Why did Nigeria fail to thrive between 1960 and 1999, particularly relative to China and India?

2. How would you characterize former President Obasanjo’s legacy?

3. Are you bullish or bearish on the next fifteen years for Nigeria? What would make you change your mind? What opportunities do you see? What are the challenges (and risks)


This is coming after a 15-year-old Nigerian girl was offered admission to the prestigious Harvard University in United States of America. Saheela Ibraheem is the 15-year-old daughter of a Nigerian immigrant family living in New Jersey, United States. Since news broke about Saheela’s incredible acceptance to 13 of American’s prestigious Universities, local and International media took interests in the teen’s success story.

@Nairalanders, What is your take?

Case studies can reveal the strenghts and weaknesses of countries, economies, and companies.


The solutions to the challenges
are embeded in the challenges.
