Please,get your findings right. The most powerful person on earth is the U.N. secretary General

Lmao. That's like saying the most powerful 'service chief' (loosely speaking) in Nigeria is the Controller General of the Nigerian Fire Service! You're probably indoctrinated from an outdated government textbook (as in the secondary school subject known as government). Nairaland is truly a funny place.

London has fallen

frugal:


They're the greatest country on earth. Period!

They have the biggest economy in the world. Economy they opened to every other country. They don't hoard knowledge or resources. Their economy/technology is literally opened to everyone in the world. You can be in a different country and build a successful business in the US without ever stepping foot there. Which other country will let you do that? A country where a Kenyan was president for 8 years. God bless the United States.

Don't waste your time with this kid.

Where are the "mostly African leaders" you guys can blow everything and anything out of proportion.

shogsman:

You're really ignorant, like extremely ignorant, if that is how debt works why tf would we be indebted in the first place,you think you can just print notes if you need money like it's a video game without worrying about your currency becoming useless. You need to read up and beef up your knowledge of basic economics.
You really cracked me up this morning

Partial education is worse than no education. I didn't deem it fit to reply you earlier but it is necessary to correct some idiocy, lest gullible people here swallow the nonsensical disinformation.

The concept of debt in this particular case of the so-called US indebtedness to China DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE US BORROWED MONEY FROM CHINA, as your useless Buhari/Nigeria and other African shit holes do. The fact that China pegs its Yuan to the dollar in order to make its exports (its lifeblood) cheaper for the US to continue importing, is the only reason for the superficial debt. If the US doesn't import Chinese goods, your China will be essentially a goner. The complex dynamics of currency pegging, balance of payments, etc relative to external debt isn't what we will be discussing on Nairaland. There are enough resources on Google for that

That said, it needs to be reiterated that there's no basis for comparison between the US and China, or any other country for that matter... Economically, militarily and otherwise. Africa isn't in the picture. Don't even go there.

POTUS no be any presido o, na president of the free world

African presidents are always doing boy boy

Iamthoney:
But not that of US

The U.S. is obviously bigger because of the value of the dollar to other currencies. Comparing the economies of countries using nominal GDP has always been a fraudulent idea.

To know the actual GDP of countries, you have to adjust for PPP (purchasing power parity). So yeah, for PPP-adjusted GDP, China has the highest in the world.

Before we praise Biden for using a convoy, other equally big or bigger world powers turned down the invite. Na so e be. Everybody big for him lane.

Lollz

Neither you nor the 83 people who liked your quote have been to the US.

Are all strikers at the same level?

Are all businessmen at the same level?

Are all lawyers at the same level?

Are all musicians at the same level?

It is foolishness to pretend that hierarchy does not exist.

All over the world, the law recognises a married woman over and above all her husband's concubines.

That is hierarchy

Texas is just one state in the US, it is almost the size of Nigeria but it's economy is 100 times bigger than ours.

California,a state in the US would have been the seventh largest economy in the world if it had been a Country.

The US military budget is $800B a year.

Even China respects the weapons US has and keeps upgrading it's armament to meet up with that of US

You can remain in your state of delusion, it matters not to me.

But I will give credit to whom credit is due.

It has nothing to do with complex


Try and accept reality.

Africans need to outgrow this mentality, inferiority complex, most powerful nation my ass, aside nuclear weapons nothing US has against other nations, take away their nuclear weapons and see how weak and vulnerable the US is, if it wasn't for corruption Nigerian military would have been on par with the US.

We are talking of the president of a country with over 19trillion dollars GDP .
Combine the GDPs of all the countries that have their leaders in public bus ,if it's up to 10 trillion dollars then I will join you to condemn what Joe did

IamPlato:
lost how?


They left oga... They left... More of the people wanted them out so they left...

If Russia leave Ukraine now how will you describe it?

bepositive11:


Who said they lost against Afghanistan? They wanted to stop wasting resources because it was pointless.

If USA decides to truly fight a war, they will win against any nation.

USA should just leave the Muslim world to address their own issues because their religion is very complex. USA can't understand the conflict. The problem is Islamic terrorists keep targeting the US.

You mean after 20 years they just left?

saxywale2:

They occupied Afghanistan for years. Once they moved out, the Afghan military fell. So Mr, they did not lose in Afghanistan. Afghan military lost and not the US military.

So if Russia leave Ukraine now

Who lose

Ukraine or the separatist


You can't just hide your lies

You've probably never travelled outside before. Africa countries are several decades behind the west.

Centuries.

why do you think Russia is currently in Ukraine in the first place?

Figger:
Stop advertising your ignorance, US can't be compared to Nigeria. When was Nigeria discovered, colonized and gained independence, even though they're still dependent. Military might and resources (both human and capital) America is millions of miles ahead. Pls don't let envy becloud ur sense of reasoning, if u see the truth say it as it is.

Exactly.America pump 18M barrels of a day while Nigeria can only manage 1.5m

CheapHomes1:


Which justice, fairness and equity is America promoting around the world?

Mention one religion that recognises women in this world. Both Christianity and Islam, which are the world's biggest religions, have no regards for women.

However, the US is encouraging countries to embrace democracy and to give women a voice. That's called equity. A good example was what happened in Afghanistan when the US military pulled out of the country.

I can give you other reasons, but that's the much I can type now.

SmartPolician:
What do you expect? American president is the most powerful human being on planet earth.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than the others.

Them force African leaders enter bus?

No body forced them. It is not even a mist to there in the first place

Is Pootin among the world leaders...

wildkat:
USA wasn’t a former colony of Britain. America was never colonized. The real Americans were the wild natives known as Ameri-Indians who were conquered by the first British settlers who formed the English frontier which was known as New England after settling in Jamestown, Virginia 1607

The Ameri-Indians are almost extinct today and most live in the state of Indiana created after their name

Please what is the American Independence Day, July 4th about? Thanks

hedonido:


You need psychiatric evaluation and mental rehabilitation. New York City alone is richer than your entire dark continent of Africa, and you're here spewing balderdash about aside nuclear weapons bla bla.

Armchair critic, I can almost bet that you're typing from a tecno phone your neighbor dashed you, claiming New York City....

Now let me educate you, if not for the corrupt breeds of idiots we have as leaders, no nation on earth can match the immense amount of wealth the African continent is blessed with. From the Gold coasts of Ghana to the priceless diamonds of Sierra Leone! And what about Nigeria? Blessed with so much crude oil or is it uranium,coal or platinium?

Africa is blessed but accursed with wicked leadership.

Lols you don't even know the USA, USA controls stock market and crypto market even world politics. Russian has more nuclear warhead than the USA. Research about this .

phatriqk:


Bros rest, New York richer than whole Africa, what resources does new York have or even America entirely, stop basing your fact from main stream media, I already told the only limiting factor stopping Nigeria and African countries from dominating the world map is corruption simple. Remove corruption from Nigeria and see if Nigeria doesn't surpass US in economy. US and western powers know and that is why they continue to riddle us with bad leadership.

Oga stop talking rubbish

Faber:
Okay

UK know say dey are no more feared in the World, it is only their alliance with the US that is making the World fear them.

This is a clear example of UK ass licking US. The hide behind US and claim World Power. Apart from the fear of US, Russia will nuke UK woto woto

Y'all are always underrating the Uk's military capability. Do you realize the UK has nukes too? So they'll fold their hands and observe while Russia nuke them abi.
