It’s easy to look at a list like this and panic: “Wow, the U.S. owes $33 trillion? China $15 trillion?!” But total public debt alone doesn’t tell the full story. Context matters — a lot.

🔹 Debt is not automatically bad. Countries like the U.S. and Japan intentionally take on debt to finance infrastructure, stimulate their economies, and manage growth. What matters more is how the debt is used and whether the economy is growing alongside it.

🔹 Size of the economy matters. The U.S. has a GDP of over $27 trillion — so while the debt figure is huge, it’s not the same as a smaller country owing the same amount. That’s why economists often look at Debt-to-GDP ratio rather than just raw numbers.

🔹 Debt is also a sign of trust. Countries like the U.S., UK, and Japan have the ability to borrow at low interest rates because investors trust them to repay. That’s very different from countries where borrowing comes with high risk and crippling interest.

🔹 Not all debt is created equal. Domestic debt (owed to citizens/institutions within the country) is far less dangerous than external debt. Some countries on that list owe mostly to themselves — others owe to foreign lenders, which is riskier.

So yes — the numbers are big. But what matters more is how well these countries manage, invest, and repay. Debt isn’t a death sentence — it’s a tool. Used wisely, it can be a ladder. Used recklessly, it becomes a trap.

US is different from us by far. Ours is clearly to loot. US though corrupt and inflates costs of arms and more, is far more accountable than Nigeria. Does better projects, is the hottest country to emigrate to in the world. Has solid and meaningful infdastructure unlike us who duplicate infrastracture for thw sake of tolling and looting in future. US has crude and refiners unlike ours that gets denied crude. US is a qorld police but can we even call criminals or terrorists what they actually are?
US has healthcare, research and education and technology. What have we?

Only ND has right to revilt about anything crude oil or petrol. If they sample cokacola, coffee, small stout and crude oil in four cups, can you pick crude oil?

The fuel has been deregulated Oga wailer. It is businessmen now and not FG or state.

Desist from further speading FALSEHOODS and deliberate disinformation here while playing the victim. This is why Governor Soludo is a great man for speaking the truth about the fact that 99.99% of those arrested in Anambra State are his fellow Ibo kinsmen NOT outsiders.

The UAE Government had already released the names of those South East of Nigeria criminals arrested to the whole world before Abike Dabiri-Erewa even mentioned what was already available in the public domain.

Watch the 2014 video BELOW of a Thailand Police investigator accusing South East of Nigeria people of being the BIGGEST CURSE to Nigeria and Africa. This was in 2014 when Goodluck Jonathan was the President of Nigeria. It wasn't Abike Dabiri-Erewa speaking in that video BUT a Senior Police investigator in Thailand in 2014.

Tinder Swindler, Drugs or Football?
Shows an I*o drug trafficker from the South East of Nigeria being interogated in 2014 by a Thailand Police investigator who in the Timestamp 5:00 bluntly called out the I*o tribe as the BIGGEST CURSE of Nigeria and Africa in 2014, because of their many relentless drug trafficking into Thailand.

She singled out a state and not a tribe. If they want to do Ebonyi shege, they will say they are not igbos or inferior igbos. Now they are saying Anambra = Igbo at large.

Hmmm. Same story for black man in SA and America or Columbia.
Visit LIB and see the number of boyfriend-killing-a-girlfriend news over suspicions.

These are google pictures now. Show real farm and not audio/pictorial inspirational stuffs.

...abi your undercover career as a keke driver has been put on hold until further notice.

Hmmm. Chop life indeed. In an economy where family men are managng N100k, i salute the bachelors earning N140k+.
Thats three bags of corn in a month.

Lol.

Their camwras worked today. But not on the perpeþator. That same lady will resume duty in 24 hours and business goes in as usual.

Three APC-connected start up i suspect. I hope i am wrong.

Audio windfall.

Keyahomo. Always talking nonsense after nonsense.

APC an cheap propaganda. A tournament they are serial winners of is what they shamelessly want to hijack for propaganda sake. I hope they show us Super Eagles locker room scenes too. Lol.

Tinubu, this is highly unacceptable. From 2022 to May 2023 we fought spiritually and mentally to bring this Government to power, you must do something now. Give PMS and AGO importers a 4 or 5 months IMPORT BAN notice.
From November 30th or December 31st of this year, there should be no more PMS, AGO and Aviation fuel importation.

This notice is to enable the importers close the deals they had with their overseas Refineries. It will also enable DANGOTE Refineries and other local refineries scale-up their facilities and storage tanks with PMS and AGO that can meet local demand if their refineries should develop fault during the Importation BAN period

Monopoly to Dangote and one or two modular refiners around. Bad idea.
Import should be pegged at around 25% local consumption volume and increased if found favourble or decreased if otherwise.

You see why pressure is on Naira and it isnt gaining as much value as it should?
In our top 10 import list, 6 can be locally produced.

The glutton will look for free food first. The greedy, gold and money.

I'm also planning to have my wedding like this. We need to step up the game in this Tinubu regime. No be every wedding you think you can Ganu sibe 😃

Lol. I used to think say the gods no dey gree for anybody. Tradition must be edited.

I am sure Hamas and Pakistan too does.

We believe you else you will get the otuoke treatment.

It shows in his stature and wellness level generally. Money well spent. Better than Aregbe who ate roasted plantain but used the money to do talking drum.

DSTV and PayTV loss is MTN n Airtel's gain.

Should have detailed his frequency of calls before you housed him so we can compare to after you housed him.

Isnt this starvation? Where is france and EU and the rest?

This gombe state is too quiet,
U no go hear boko haram or kidnap stories, even though it's a poor state, we hardly hear bad news from there....
Congrats to the government of gombe

gombe is not quiet ooo.

Jayjayconcept:
620KW is not even UpTo 1KVA

Nawaooo

It will just power one village

really? It is more than by a factor of 620.

Kudos and Ukodo to Gombe all at once. Better than talking drum from Aregbe or Kerosene from that Abia dude.

It is a game of grades and never about knowledge transfer. Thats why we are backwards in many ways.

Churches are to build factories and states to build fun cities flyovers, idle airports and big govt houses endlessly.
