Isn't it disgraceful that a country we once mocked for their economic woes and even made "Ghana Must Go" bags for is now thriving in all aspects and doing better than us Their power supply, education, healthcare, road infrastructures etc are much better than ours today! What a shame!
Check the average life expectancy in Ghana and you'll see that it's far above Nigeria's. Too bad!
Unfair comparison.
Nigeria is like the India of Africa. Huge population, economic powerhouse, big tech sector, large and growing middle/upper class, and millions and millions of poor people, plus overall poor infrastructure compared to neighbouring smaller populations like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand etc.
Truth is that it is FAR EASIER, QUICKER, AND CHEAPER to develop a nation of 20 million compared to a nation of 230 million.
Far less number of roads, schools, hospitals etc are required.
Far less number of cities and towns and villages needing fixing.
A country like Ghana has only one real city, Accra. The rest are glorified villages.
Ghana may have 4,000 km of tarred roads, and they'll be ok.
Nigeria has 100,000 km of tarred roads, but needs 200,000 more to cover everyone!
Then some Ghana dude goes on social media and says ''our roads in Ghana are better than in Nigeria!'
Well of course they are better because you only have 2 roads!
''We have constant light in Ghana''.
Actually you don't. Power cuts are back there. Which is pretty disgraceful as you have only 8 million households to power up, while Nigeria has 150 million!
The truth is Ghana is actually doing terribly considering their small population and huge natural resources from crude oil to gold and cocoa.
They should be doing far better than they are doing.
I guess once they feel they're 'better than Nigeria', they're okay.
NGArmyTerrorist: But their electricity is far more better and the best than yours! Even the ball you watched yesterday; you watch am with Generator!
You don’t know that, so shut your rotten lips.
South Africa suffers daily power cuts of up to 12 hours or more, and they call it ‘load shedding’.
The use of generators is widespread.
It is self hating so-called Nigerians like you that take your blabber mouths screaming “no electricity” to the whole world which allows even people from Sierra Leone with 21% access to electricity compared to Nigeria’s 60%, to be insulting YOUR COUNTRY over power issues.
Fcking air heads.
All these other countries like South Africa for instance, have HUGE problems. They just don’t make it their job to go online trashing their country over it. So we hardly know their problems. But they know ALL our problems.
Every single one.
Because of your wild, thoughtless, relentlessly negative self-hating anti-Nigerian posts on social media.
And it will be YOUR children that will suffer prejudice and be discriminated against on the continent and beyond, since ALL they know about your country is negative - thanks to you.
Fcking dullards with no sense.
If you wake up every day screaming to the world that your country is worthless, how do you think they will treat YOU when they encounter YOU?
Like a prince?
No, you’ll be treated like a tramp and viewed with suspicion, prejudice and distrust.
As will your offspring in future.
Other countries know this and are discrete in their criticism of their countries.
immortalcrown: Did you do basic Economics in secondary school?
Your comparison is wrong. Explain why a Nigerian who works as a driver in those countries affords the high cost of living in those countries and still afford to buy land and build houses in Nigeria but university lecturers in Nigeria struggle to pay rents in the same Nigeria. Explain this situation if you think your comparison is right. Have you also looked at the balance of payments in those countries and the countries' foreign reserves? Compare them to Nigeria's balance of payment and Nigeria's foreign reserve.
The countries you compare to Nigeria import almost every raw material they use in production. Nigeria has almost every raw material. Why can't Nigeria process the raw materials here, make the finished products cheap for Nigerians and also export the finished products? Those other countries import raw materials from Nigeria and export the finished goods to the same Nigeria but you are too blind to understand the situation. The cost of living you praise in Nigeria is mediocrity. Cost of living can be way cheaper in Nigeria if Nigeria is as prudent as the countries you compare to Nigeria.
Don't compare countries that are not equal in terms of natural resources and population. Your logic is like using the price of cement in countries that import cement to justify the price of cement in Nigeria that is naturally blessed with cement. Nigeria has cement and the cement is this costly. Imagine what will happen if Nigeria doesn't have cement.
It is this your logic that some people used to justify increase in fuel price during Buhari's regime. Those people just said fuel was costlier in many other countries. But they didn't explain if those other countries export crude oil like Nigeria. Nigeria has crude oil and fuel is this costly. Imagine what will happen if Nigeria doesn't have fuel.
Cost of living is higher there because of lower availability of natural resources. Yet, they managed to build better roads, better hospitals and better schools for you. The leaders of those countries do not waste or embezzle their resources as much as Nigerian leaders do.
But in Nigeria, there are more natural resources, no good roads, not many good schools and not many good hospitals. Imagine what the cost of living in Nigeria will be if Nigeria doesn't have much natural resources and if Nigeria has good raods and steady power supply. Nigerian leaders waste or embezzle Nigerian resources.
In conclusion, Nigeria is worse than those countries. No good roads, steady electricity and water, but house rent is very high.
Dude, even in America, many truck drivers earn more than lecturers and school teachers.
t2luv1: You know what I always find amazing about Nigeria's so-called Billionaires? Bill Gates, an American, and a white man has poured more of his own money into improving that country than those three of Nigeria's Billionaires combined. Yeap I repeat combined. That still will not stop some segments of the people in Nigeria from criticizing the USA whenever the opportunity arises.
Shut your slave ass lips there, Uncle Tom sellout.
What has Bill Gates done for anyone apart from pushing dodgy, dangerous ‘vaccines’?
Only God knows how many people have perished because of his ‘vaccines’.
We don’t need him or want him anywhere in Nigeria or Africa.
t2luv1: Partner you truly believe there is an afterlife? Psst !!! Partner let you on a secret there is none. Rich people invented Heaven and hell narratives to play tricks on the motherfuc*er poor souls. Something to make them think that if they are poor now maybe there is some kind of reward waiting for them in heaven the same thing with the 10 virgins crap with the Nation of Islam brothers. Who in their freaking right mind wants 10 virgins anyway? No afterlife partner when you are freaking dead cuz you dead aiight. That's a wrap
You are talking UTTER RUBBISH.
We are immortal souls living a temporal human existence.
The accounts of thousands of near-death experiencers confirm that what we call ‘death’ is simply a return back to our default state as powerful, immortal beings.
This Earth existence is a SIMULATION, similar to an AI program.
Or Virtual Reality program.
What we call ‘death’ is simply taking off the headset of a VR program called ‘Life on Earth’, and returning to our reality of eternal life and consciousness as powerful souls.
Our ancestors knew these things for thousands of years before the whites and Arabs came with their FAKE RELIGIONS that claimed you had to ‘believe in’ some ‘saviour’ who looked like THEM before you could be “saved”.
A PURE LIE which most of you STUPIDLY believe after being BRAINWASHED by them.
Righteousness2: How you celebrated does not really matter.
Who celebrates you on Earth or who does not celebrate you does not really matter.
People can be here on Earth celebrating that you did this and that meanwhile you are Hell Fire Burning and crying.
Billionaire or poornaire club does not really matter.
What Matters is did you Depart this world with JESUS Christ as the Lord and Savoir of your life. This is the only thing that has Eternal Value.
Don't live life pursuing vanities without Having what really matters. Everything Ends Here.
SHUT UP, YOU BRAINWASHED FOOL.
BEFORE ENGLISH RAPISTS, THIEVES AND MURDERERS FORCED THEIR FAKE, INVENTED WHITE SAVIOUR ON YOU, DID YOUR ANCESTORS NOT PROCEED TO HEAVEN AFTER LEAVING THIS WORLD?
DID THEY NOT KNOW GOD OR HAVE RELIGION?
STUPID AIR HEAD.
Oh sure, we will not go to heaven unless we worship the gods of the thieving white invaders, rapists, enslavers, colonisers, looters, and murderers of our ancestors.
REALLY?
REALLY?
Fck you and Fck them and their FCKING FAKE, INVENTED white man “saviour”.
boldtruthalways: He never said that in the true context. He was just making a point. Fake journalist should stop twisting issues. He's simply emphasising the need for NATO to pay up and not leave the entire burden on U.S.A. He's a smart President who loves his people and wishes to use their resources for the good of his people and not wasting it on foreign countries who do not like them. Greatest President ever.
Shut your stupid dumb lips.
It is assholes like you who support this dangerous criminal trying to get back into power.
Nobody wants his narcissistic deranged self anyway near the White House in control of such a huge nuclear arsenal that could threaten the world.
The lying criminal has over 90 criminal charges against him as we speak. If he was black he would have long been jail with zero prospect of being president ever again.
But his white privilege in a racist society means he gets away with multiple crimes from fraud to rape to insurrection and other crimes while their corrupt judiciary enables him by outrageously handling him with kid gloves and refusing to hold him to account for his numerous crimes.
This is the WILD ANIMAL that you are here supporting?
“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?'” Trump recalled during the rally. “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”
This “conversation” is completely fabricated by Trump. It never happened.
Whenever he says “someone said to me ‘Sir….” he’s lying.
Trump is a narcissist, and with that comes chronic, constant lying.
TopBanter: 100% correct. Using myself as an example, I may not even think about non-Nigerian at all throughout a year talk less of having time to go to their forums and engage them mockingly. For what?
Yet if others hate and envy me, because of my talent and success, then I will taunt then to death because they are evil and wicked.
What I love about most Nigerians is that we don't have time to be badmouthing others out of jealousy or envy.
When we land in the diaspora we quickly learn how things work there, because we are success-driven, to be thriving in healthcare, IT, Architecture, entrepreneurship etc to the extreme jealousy and envy of other Africans.
I am talking from direct experience where, as an example, Nigerians buy houses legitimately, residential and investment, in the UK only for other Africans to be gossiping we are fraudsters and criminals merely because they don't aspire to the level of success Nigerians work hard to attain.
Why should I then live my life trying to appease such hateful folks who are always determined to give a dog (Nigerians) a bad name to hang it?
Yes Nigerians can be loud and showy but we are also kind, accommodating, generous and helpful. Yet they never talk about our good side.
So many Ghanaians, Cameroonian, South Africans, Kenyans etal are in Nigeria and they do not feel like foreigners because we don't care to focus on the background of others or work with preconcieved notions..
Yet Nigerians will definitely be made to feel like foreigners in most countries in Africa because of the insecurities of others.
If your good but imperfect, which is the case with many human beings, then don't let others gaslight you for your few imperfection while they ignore your many good attributes.
Nigerians have big mouths can never be humble or magnanimous in victory. Always badmouthing everyone all over social media because of small wins.
When you are the troublesome one in a community, always expect others to dance on your grave when you die..
Now una go rest.
Did it ever occur to you that Nigerians are responding to THEIR badmouthing of Nigeria, or you think all these other Africans are quiet, humble, polite saints?
NwaIdeato: The 2013 team Keshi used was far better and cohesive than this one, even Osimhen sef isn't as good as we hype him up to be...I'll take the likes of Ideye Brown and Emenike 10x over Osimhen.
It's the system that we played, not Osimhen.
Osimhen wasn't fed a single chance in this game.
Can you say that about the games he plays at Napoli?
We also missed Victor Boniface who was to partner Osimhen, and Ndidi in midfield.
Quest7777: A responsible Government does what is right & what is in the interest of the citizens, even if the citizens don't know any better.
Well, the FEDERAL GOVT built its roads the right way when it built Abuja, the federal capital.
So this is on the state governments, not the FG.
Folks should harass their state governors over this issue.
We should also consider federal legislation for a common standard for road construction nationwide whereby it will required by LAW that any road built in a residential or business area must be built with covered drainage and sidewalks, and also mandating all states to dedicate a set minimum percentage of their annual infrastructure budget to fixing those roads currently with open drains and no sidewalks.
If they do that, within 10 years they'll get to the level of Brazil or Mexico in terms of physical infrastructure.
