Congratulations dear, More Grace......... Only God knows when Naija would advance to this stage

At least the command creation is balanced but we need state policing

Arewa good morning

Cha Cha cha, Igbo kwenu

But the pops still beat the son

Are we going to pretend that we don't know that car isn't worth #50m not to talk of 100m?

Too advanced for 9th century of yesterday? Have you seen the artwork that the 'savage' Vikings were producing in the 9th century? Why do Africans like selling themselves short?

I'm not selling Africans short, I'm actually happy we had creative ancestors but still yet we have to probe

Look at the pot in the first picture below, notice the design by the side, no crude tool could have done that and the cup/bowl itself wasn't used in the area it was found pre colonial era for any purpose

If the carbon dating is real(I hope so), those artifacts without doubt belonged to a long lost civilization

Savage Vikings terrorized Europe,gave us norse mythology, gave us Thursday, were expert sea-men. They were feared in Europe so not a nice example


The art work are actually nice

While it seems like the police man deserved it, that was an extremely foolish thing to do, if Dem shoot am e go enter, you only die once

Minsk24:
Here Are Problems I think Are Plaguing These Countries...


Multi Ethnicity/Heterogeneous Societies:
These 3 Countries Are very diverse along Religious, Ethnic, Language, Racial, Ideological lines...
Its very difficult to build a progressive society when you add these differences amongst people with democracy and capitalism...
The Politicians tend to pounce on these differences to get vote....
We all see the issues in India between Hindus and Muslims.. Between Northern and Southern Indians....Coupled with the caste system and Racial diversities..
Nigeria has more than 200 ethnic groups, different languages ,with most of the languages having different dialects...
Animosity between the Muslims and Christains...The three Main Regions distrust each other ....
Same Thing.with Brazil having characteristics of Nigeria and India..
..my conclusion is that it's very difficult to build an inclusive society with these multiple divisions in a country...


Corruption:
These 3 Countries are plagued with corruption.. corruption is a fabric of the Societies of these countries...
Brazil has had former presidents embroiled in Scandals...
Corruption and mismanagement is so normal in Nigeria...
Corruption has led to so much close contact between politicians and the private sector... the Politicians are key stakeholders in the capitalist private sector and would rather put profits ahead of the people...
How is it imaginable that in 2020 , Nigeria does not have stable power supply..... it's very shocking and the height of the glamorous corruption in Nigeria...


Crime...
With Corruption and weakend institutions....this leads to a private and public sector that is not accountable to the public, high unemployment, lack of govt innovation.. bureaucracy..poor business friendly environments all stiffles the growth of the economy...and when this happens , surge in crime lays in wait..

India has one of the highest rape cases in the world..
Nigeria is something else..Human life is not valued..you fear the security agents, you also fear the criminals..
Brazil is a drug el Dorado...some areas are even controlled by gangs as we saw on TV ,where gangs enforced lockdown measures in some areas...
How would Tourism flourish with high crime
How would FDI flow in bountifully with high crimes...

Your number one reason is very concrete and I have often thought of it myself, that is why most European countries and east Asian as well as Arabian countries seems to be progressive because they are ethnically and religiously homogeneous, infact if you list out the most advanced countries in the world they are almost entirely homogeneous or even a few heterogeneous ones like France had their borders formed naturally through wars, conquest and empire building similar to oyo, Benin and sokoto caliphate not by outsiders like they did to Africa. Even examples like Belgium and Switzerland have a perfect system of confederation among themselves and at best are a confederation of 5 ethnic groups. I personally blame the Europeans because before coming to Africa they had and understood perfectly well how a nation state should look like. I begin to wonder if they designed African states to fail and perpetually depend on them.
The few successful African states are the most homogenous or should I say least heterogeneous on the continent like Egypt and the other Arab countries of the maghreb. South Africa being another example with only 9 ethnic nationalities who are very much related to each other one way or the other just like edoid, igboid , yoruboid or idomoid state or a little bit more complex at least a very far cry from the mad house we call Nigeria

But looking at your list, Brazil is not actually heterogeneous. Infact, they are the largest Catholic country in the world, most of them speak Brazilian Portuguese as a native tongue. Forget the favelas only very few countries outside of the tripod (Western Europe, north America(Canada and USA), Japan) can stand them

Exc2000:
as long as AFDB would nominate the independence auditors and panelist, or the Stakeholders country I see him winning all this lightweight unprovabe allegation or he would simply head to court.. the plan raising this allegation is only to ruffle him up for his re election..

Imagine allegation such as clearing someone alleged of sexual harassment... not that he sexually harassed anyone , but he authourized the resumption of a staff who was alleged of sexual harassment during a time he was off duty and not active on duty for weeks... what exactly would this offense result into ?

or the Allegation that his childhood friend (relying on old picture) unduely benefited from a contract... Now the panelist would have an heculian task to prove his so called childhood friend wasn't qualified for such contracts, or else both adesina and the friend has the right to put up some litigation

another one that caught my eye is the allegation bothering on grants giving to IITA and another Nigerian based multinational agricultural institute, for a fact that Nigeria is over 200m, and sub Saharan Africa is 1billion people, Nigeria ordinarily stands at 1 : 5 to Africa, Africa's GDP stands at $2.5trillion while Nigeria's GDp alone accounts for $450bn USD that's 1:6 of Africa GDP as a Banker which country would you ordinarily consider for loans? even Chinese EXIM bank and IMF considers Nigeria greatly over other African countries... and the onus is on them to prove Adesina of having giving unmerited grant to IITA a multinational company

Isn't the west interfering in African sovereignty?

fergie001:
We will continue to humiliate ourselves outside......we are becoming a people without shame!

A Nigerian was appointed in Liberia....we made it tribal here
Another Nigerian supposedly in Sierra-Leone...we subjected it to tribal battle.

Now Adesina is in the web, these same nincompoops and ne'er-do-wells are doing the same exact thing. One animal here even said he carried his PDP blood there. Another orangutan said because he is Yoruba.

We should be ashamed of ourselves.

The same Adeshina that one of his supposed crime was inclusion and promotion of Igbo people. See just leave them

So what's his crime? He favoured the inclusion and elevation of Nigerians in Afdb. And fellow Nigerians are calling for his head, nawa o, instead of us to resist the demonic over Sabi and over controlling usa

Yoruba Muslims on the beat

theenchanter:
Only if the kenyans know that majority of d Nigerians kicking their arse here are in their 20s.

One mumu up there has a 10yr old daughter and a younger son..... I wonder what his daughter will feel like if she sees what her dad is posting on the internet through his gadget.

Enjoy kids.... Don't be a dumbo like ur dad.

Is it Rvp the audio billionaire/business tycoon? Or is it tashagindimaria?

He don old o. I pray for long life too

mandarin:
IGR is a reflection of how government has been able to harness what people operating enterprises within their borders should pay back to the government for common good of all. If a government feel just a little tax is ok then the IGR might be small. The SE being filled with people who are into loads of personal businesses may not have a huge IGR unlike say Ekiti where most citizens are civil servants. However low IGR also mean low number of factories, and low value of economic activities

Very idiotic analysis. Please take a crash course on economics, taxation or anything to cure your ignorance. You mad a lot of sense in some parts the others were pure idiotic no middle ground what do ever
