Accra has never been on the list of worst cities in Africa every year
Nairobi which has slums has never been on the list of worst cities in Africa every year
Abuja Lagos port Harcourt never miss on the list of worst cities in Africa every year

And if you read their report, one of the major reasons they put Lagos among worst cities is because of BokoHaram in Lagos, so tell me who takes such a list seriously when they don't even know what they are talking about?

This is a country they call poorest in the world, spending 56 trillion naira on e payment transactions ( about 160 Billion dollars) in 2018 or maybe the report is cooked as usual.

Iam not contradicting myself
All iam saying is Nigeria cannot grow 2% and then you say your are fine because of you population
Only developed countries grow at 2% and they say they are fine
But Nigerians like celebrating mediocrity i understand

l never said we are fine because of population, on the contrary l said the growing population is the only major reason why a 2% growth for Nigeria is abysmal at the moment.

tylann:
Gdp depends on many sectors not just infrastructure like agriculture service manufacturing sectors e.t.c
But for all this to work well they need proper infrastructure

The strongest economies in the world have a excellent infrastructure to back up their economy

That is why i propose african countries should invest at least 20% of their gdp to infrastructure development

Now you are contradicting yourself.

tylann:
I didn't say south Africa cannot grow further
China today grows at single digit rate not like 10 to 20 years where it used at double digit rate
Can you explain to me that ??
South africa is just one step from being developed country
Infrastructure development drives economic growth high

ok so when Kenya finally closes the infrastructure gap, at what GDP would that be?? 300 Billion dollars or less

tylann:
South africa has closed it is infrastructure gap and cannot grow at very high rate it just need to work on it is software then it becomes a developed country
But kenya still suffers from infrastructure deficit that is what kenya is trying to do to propel it is economic
At the moment kenya is doing badly 6% is still to low for kenya we need double digits growth to catch up with sa
Nigeria is still mediocre 2% for you is extremely poor just like kenya you need double digit economic growth

So South Africa has closed it's infrastructure gap and cannot grow further?? interesting!
This would mean SA is already more developed than China and other advanced countries still growing economically. l never knew South Africa was this developed.
lf l get you correctly. you are saying South Africa would be at thesame spot for the next ten years while Kenya catches up with her economically after closing the infrastructure gap and then Kenya becomes stagnated afterwards until Togo catches up with Kenya, and then it continues like that??

tylann:
Just accept you economy is performing badly
For developing country like Nigeria growing at 2% that is extremely bad
Even your president confirmed recently that your economy is performing badly

For a developing country growing at 2% with a 400Billion dollars economy, it's not that bad relative to other developing countries,it becomes very bad only when we consider the growing population and that is the only problem with the Nigerian growth at 2%.
Kenya on the other hand should be growing above 10% for the next 5years since they look up to South Africa and want to measure up with them in 5-10 years.
South Africa with the same population as that of Kenya has a 300 Billion dollars economy and is growing at 2% as well, at that rate you can't compare that Kenyan 8% to the current South African situation ( which is still way better).

obaaderemi:
You see! You've buttressed my point @ the bolded. Zik must have had a lot of influence on Ghanaian freedom fight. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for proof that he was a security man in Ghana.

this security man in Ghana thing cracks me up whenever you ask it.

forgiveness:
Which problem did Ghana solve in West Africa?

l tire o

rvp20182:
per capital yes

lol, l forgot

Goel:
No but "poorer" economies grow much higher than "richer" economies.
China, India & ASEAN are still growing despite being big in size because their economies are big because of populations but economies aren't rich.

If Nigeria is only growing at 2%, there is some serious problem needed to be addressed for sure.

We are making almost thesame point.
2% growth rate is bad especially with the growing Nigerian population. But putting Kenya's 8% growth rate on thesame level as other countries growing at 8% is rather too simplistic.
8% growth rate though is great for the Kenyans at their level, just like Rwanda or Botswana may be a bit satisfied with their growth rate, but if the comments from Kenyans here are anything to go by, they want to be in the league of SA and Nigeria in no time, in that case then an 8% growth rate isn't huge.

rvp20182:
hehehe you got whack theories.china and India will say what.nigeria is messed up.stop making excuses and pray for oil prices

ls an 8% growth rate in China and lndia equivalent to an 8% growth rate in Kenya??

tylann:
What about China
Are you sick , what is wrong with you

Would you say an 8% growth in China is thesame 8% growth in Kenya??

tylann:
What about China
Are you sick , what is wrong with you

So what about China?? they are the exception not the rule.
l could also ask you, what about South Korea as regards Kenya.
Still my post stands true, except you can prove otherwise, not with dumb replies like ' what about China.

gallivant:
What's up with these armchair economists? In which world is 2% equivalent to 8%?

lf you can't comprehend, then do some research on my post before you quote me.
2% of 400 =8
8% of 80=6.4

We see from this simple arithmetic, that a 2% growth in Nigeria is even bigger than an 8% growth in Kenya.

lt's simple maths, if you can't understand this, then l can't help you.

GDP growth: Kenya vs the Giant

A 2% growth in Nigeria is equivalent to an 8% growth in Kenya. Smaller economies usually record higher growth than bigger economies because every little thing has an impact on it, this is why Africa is considered to be the fastest growing continent economically this decade, but it's still the poorest with the smallest economies worldwide.

Gross domestic product in billion U.S . dollars


Year *** GDP value in billion USD

2022* 649
2021* 572.28
2020* 504.57
2019* 447.01
2018* 397.47
2017 376.36
2016 405.44
2015 493.84
2014 568.5
2013 514.97

Sniffing the 400 billion US dollar GDP mark in 2019 with us now being of about 190-200 million Nigerians.

Things should look better in 2019!

No way, this must be fake.

forget about blogs dude

On Friday, the World Economic Forum on Africa presented the five winners of the conference’s challenge to find Africa’s top women innovators. The winners, whose innovations were from the areas including mobile health insurance, solar powered vending carts, bio medical materials and IT training as well as food processing, hail from Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda.

http://venturesafrica.com/237058-2/

Nigeria has always had her women among top innovators in Africa.

Note that this ranking is most credible, second only to QS rankings.

NairobiWalker:
Why don't you bring us the exact rankings from Times Higher Ranking then? Why are you bringing us the information from a blog? As far as I know, the source is a Nigerian blog and I trust 4icu more than a lying Nigerian blog.

Here is another ranking that puts the University of Nairobi ahead of all Nigerian universities. TopUniversities.

Here is from times higher ranking.

You are obviously confused, this is Oba's post, where did you see a blog there??

NairobiWalker:
4icu is not credible but a random Nigerian blogger is credible? Nigga what are you smoking?

lol, something is truly wrong with your eyes, Oba never used a blog, he used times higher ranking.
ls 4icu more credible than times higher ranking??

NairobiWalker:
As ranked by a Nigerian writer in a Nigerian blog. I guess this is where that fool Obaboon got the info that he keeps repeating here how a private university is better than Kenyan universities. What a bunch of losers, lol.

Here is the real ranking Zoogerian. Stop using garbage Nigerian bloggers as your source of information.

https://www.4icu.org/top-universities-africa/

4icu is not a very credible source, Oba's source is much more credible, only QS is considered more credible than it.

Swahili is your first language, stop lying.

Just30:
you cant govern your own country
yet you call Ghana your extention


i think it is time we pull the plug and watch your country get divided by three
we were supporting the existence of Nigeria on the basis that Ghana wont be flooded by refugees.


Ghanaian universities are far better than anything in Nigeria

Do you have Ghanian universities ranked in the world's top 1000, we have two, and more universities ranked higher than your best universities, so how then do you have better universities than Nigeria.
Show me your top universities.

Just30:
a more equal society where everyone can live a soccessful life and wake up happy with their family by their side .

what has Nigeria got

is that the case in Ghana?? my Ghanian friends complain to me all the time, there's so much suffering in Ghana and rent is expensive.

O0XYGEN:
We even want you guys to invest more than that in Ghana’s economy.
We are too smart and intelligent.

At the end of the day it’s Ghana they are building.
Hahahahaha

We are busy looking for investors to contribute to our economy.

Help us develop our country while yours remain underdeveloped and zoo.

Hahahahahaha

Anything we do in Ghana has it's base in Nigeria, the problem is that Ghana is small, it's just like Rivers State, so you feel the impact quickly than in Nigeria.
Of Course Nigeria would develop Ghana, it's more like a Nigerian state.

O0XYGEN:
When you travel outside that poverty infested country of yours for just a day, you wouldn’t be making such useless noise again.


You guys always aspire to be like us.

Always comparing yourselves with us.

Shameless people...hahahahaha

So all these people you mentioned, did they relocate to Ghana? Lol you even had to mention Dino Melaye.

Just30:
Ghanaians educated in your backward schools?
only in your imagination

hehehe
this one wants to feel important ooo
Ghanaians dont even go to your country
let alone, school there.

the sensible ones in Nigeria are sending their kids to school in Ghana
whiles all the companies in Nigeria are re-educating their workers in Ghana

Are your universities ranked higher than those of Nigeria??
To your second point, Ghana is just an extension for Nigeria, it's more like a neighbouring state, whatever we do in Ghana has it's base in Nigeria.

O0XYGEN:
Ghana’s population was 28 million in 2010 and you still think it’s the same in 2019?
Use your brain small ok.

And which common language are you talking about?
If Twi is a common language in Ghana why is not an Official language?

There are over 100 languages in Ghana and Twi is not a common language in Ghana as you ignorantly claim.

You live in your zoo and you think u know everything about another country?

And why do you think you guys are trooping to Ghana like refugees
That alone should tell you that we’re far better than you.

We don’t celebrate mediocrity in Ghana.

We are gradually building our country and slowly but surely we’ll get there.

There’s no need making useless noise about how developed and flawless Ghana is but at least we all know for a fact that Ghana is far better than nigeria in everything.

Lol, Nigerians only go to Ghana for two things...
Relative calm
Better Power Situation( which even sometimes get worse in Ghana like in 2015).
Nigerians do not go to Ghana simply because Ghana is Dubai or better developed than Nigeria. This is the undiluted truth, and I'm only talking of middle class Nigerians here.
All Ghanians l've ever met speak Twi with each other, even when l tune to your Television stations in my cable in PortHarcourt, it's what they speak most times.
l never said it's the only language, but it's at least understood by more than 80% of Ghanians.
What is your current population? Are you more than 30million? or are you also including the so called 5million Nigerians in Ghana?
