I'm an electrical engineer and by looking at power production trends you can tell what direction a country is moving in.

In 1990, the installed capacity was 40,000 MW, reflecting the energy landscape just after the end of apartheid.
By 2000, it had increased to 46,253 MW, showing growth as the country developed.
The capacity reached 54,700 MW by 2010, indicating a significant investment in energy infrastructure.
The capacity reached 54,700 MW by 2010, indicating a significant investment in energy infrastructure.
In 2020, the installed capacity was approximately 51,600 MW, which reflects challenges in maintaining growth due to various factors, including load shedding.


Between 2010 and 2020,SA installed capacity went down.

It's not the only country that has had a terrible past.There are other countries that woke up and moved on. Poor and corrupt leadership will siphon the country's coffers then blame the past.

basilico:
Racial animosities and xenophobia where poor leadership heaps blames on the past and foreigners taking their jobs.
As an example.
With one of the world's largest uranium reserves and permanent rivers, they should be exporting power massively to its neighbours but instead face power outages since 2007.

Haiti poverty is the result of poor governance. I didn't know that they had paid off their debt over 80 years ago.
I admit I don't know much about Haiti, I've always wondered why it's neighbour is extremely wealthy.
Or maybe the neighbor didn't chase the white men away? Don't call me racist,in other fora , I've seen Haiti being compared to the current direction South Africa is heading.

Another angle

or the Maori in New Zealand
Or aboringes in Australia

let's hear what he has to say

The Muslims thought Spain (Andalusia) was theirs for years until the reconquista happened.

basilico:
So Haiti from 1947 had repaid it's debt. Just the same time that Israel was recognized as a state and has been fighting wars with the neighbours unlike Haiti

How about Dominican Republic. Why are they miles ahead of Haiti their neighbour. They are on the same island with a GDP per Capita of over $30G an upper middle class country.

I'm.Not saying as anything About being Black.

Quit being emotional guy, slavery was a universal fact and part of life then.

kentebemoney:
They bought the slaves, remember!!!

India and China were the most populous countries in the world in 1995 and as recent as 2000, Yet none of them made the top 5 GDP in those years. Shey na today dem begin get population?

Nigeria Indonesia and Pakistan are in the top 7 most populated in the world, where and what is their GDP

RodgersAkpafu:
Population is a MAJOR driver of GDP
Dont forget GDP is aggregation of economic activity

Hence more people = more economic activity = more GDP

Why Japan is sliding down is because they are losing people = less economic activity = less GDP

Mass migration of Indians out of India send billions and billions back home
Those back home then engage in economic activity hence increase in GDP (this a major transmission of economic growth in India, even though there are others such as outsourcing)

RodgersAkpafu:
So if india had over 20 times the populations of the UK
and barely "gaps" Britain

what does that say bout India?

Na wa ooo

IbeOkehie:


Black Africans collectively were the major enablers of the Slave Trade. No amount of rationalization can erase that FACT.

Yes, Haiti is the next Singapore and Liberia will soon match South Korean prosperity. And of course Nigeria is already the Giant of Africa except for that other place at the bottom of the African map, what's that place again?

Sorry for the reminder.

Good Luck to Nigerians!!!

Stop spamming the thread
No one is interested in your family issues

Even if women are on top, it is still the men that com first

Kukutente23:
Imagine!!
These Japanese are complaining that the price of rice doubled!! So what should Nigerians who saw the price of rice triple and the price of fuel quadruple do to their leaders who are even beating their chests wildly at their audacity to inflict so much economic hardship on the masses?

Brendaniel:
Sounds a bit weird that Japan one time was an oppressor to China...

Congratulations to her..

PavillionEnergy:


President Donald J. Trump would like her.
Conservatives are on the rise globally.

Is President Tinubu a radical left or right?

APCNig:
Make we come fry beans for Akara?

She said she will work boldly and tirelessly, unafraid of change. I think she wants to follow the footsteps of JAGABAN who removed the generational fraudulent Fuel and FOREX subsidies which had enriched the evil elites in the country. This is something that past leaders including two Major Generals, and two full Generals could not do for decades

YoungLionken:
She will not do much as the prime minister..

She may only succeed in policies favouring/empowering women over men, just as the queen of England did to the UK and her influence throughout Europe and US..

And thank God Kamala Harris didn't win the previous poll...

saphiere:
High time w realize that for the world to get peace, women need to be on top

Only you can know the sound
Kudos to you

There are rules on international waters.
Israel has declared Gaza a war zone..
Hence any trespassing by the escorts for the flotilla would have led to war.

US is the only true ally of Israel, the entire Europe are spineless, political correct, woke wannabe leaders.


What they fail to achieve with Putin and Ukraine is what they want to impose on Israel just to spite USA for not supporting them or forcing US to end the Putin war.

Jakumo:
You have taken the time to offer a detailed and impassioned basis for the support you offer to Nnamdi Kanu, and while I now read it trough carefully I must mention one thing, Igwe Odogwu IgboSon, which pertains to the grossly unfair and diametrically opposed ways in which captured or surrendered terror suspects are treated by government authorities in different parts of Nigeria.

My blood boils every time I see pictures of northern Nigerian bandits, terrorist gunmen and kidnappers, all fully armed with infantry weapons, while attending formal "truce" meetings with Nigerian government officials or traditional rulers. The outcome of such "amnesty/repentance" meetings is that psychopathic killers operating in northern and mid-belt Nigeria, who have sadistically annihilated innocent civilian lives by the score, are not being penalized by the law, but are being REWARDED with monthly cash stipends, military enlistment, and "blanket forgiveness".

Psychology 101 covers the topic of "positive reinforcement", which is the term used to describe a reward given in direct response to a person or animal who performs a specific action, be it good or bad. By rewarding mass-murdering terror gang members and kidnappers who claim to have "repented", rather than disarming and jailing them, the Nigerian government is committing a terrible blunder because this reward system will only serve to INCREASE the number of idle young men who will be drawn to enlist with criminal gangs, secure in the knowledge that their "retirement plan" will start with a declaration of "repentance" to the government, to qualify themselves for a monthly cash stipend earned by shedding innocent blood.

Moving from Nigeria's north to her southeast, the public is yet to see a single instance in which "repentant" separatist gunmen posed for pictures with their military weapons while attending "amnesty" meetings with government officials. Much to the contrary, the media shows a scorched-earth response to separatist fighters of Nigeria's south east, who are strafed with MI-24 helicopter gunships and stormed in their enclaves by elite, battle-hardened federal troops. This policy double standard that is being witnessed within the same time window, MUST be addressed, urgently, so that a sense of moral and legal equality can be seen to exist in Nigeria.

That glaring contrast in the way northern Nigerian terrorists are coddled, while separatist fighters in Igboland face the full military might of the federal government, is an alarming and disheartening travesty of justice that MUST be addressed by policy makers from the Nigerian military top brass, to the pinnacle of her political leadership. There can be no "repentance" once murder or kidnap has been perpetrated. Likewise, the heavy-handed approach being applied to south east Nigerian separatist fighters must give way to the sort of inclusive dialog that brought tentative peace to the restive and volatile Niger Delta.

To address your puzzlement over why I digressed from the subject of Nnamdi Kanu, I felt it important to stress that I share the sense of outrage felt by the world, at the sight of terrorist gang members being rewarded with cash by the Nigerian government in the north, while no such scenes ever play out in the south east of the same nation.

With my moral stance thus declared, I ask that you cast your mind back to the vitriol-laced video postings that Kanu published online in the years before his capture, in which he specifically called for the brutal armed enforcement of that repressive and totalitarian "sit-at-home" illegal house arrest order that was imposed in Igboland at gunpoint.

From a legal standpoint, and since an unknown number of Igbo civilians were shot dead because they "violated" Kanu's "sit-at-home" decree, Kanu is now likely to be charged as an accessory after the fact to MULTIPLE fatal shootings that occurred in Kanu's ancestral homeland, while he filmed himself relaxed in bed beside his sexy wife in the UK.

In conclusion Onyisi IgboSon sir, your diplomatic approach to politically themed discourse is appreciated. Jsiikhe, nwannemm.
