Dude, repeating yourself does not make your points any more valid...

I made a comparison between Nigeria and SPECIFIC countries in response to a SPECIFIC post discussing those SPECIFIC countries. Nowhere did I say that the characteristics discussed were the ONLY factors in economic development or the development of a nation. You introduced Ghana into the discourse and if Ghana is your benchmark for economic development, then bully for you but given that Lagos alone has THREE TIMES the estimated GDP of Ghana pardon me if the rest of us do not share in your idolatory of Ghana.

Not making excuses for Nigeria’s mostly inept leadership, but...

Singapore and the GCC countries were aided by two basic elements we didn’t/won’t (and should not want to) have: (1) a largely ethnically-homogeneous population (with the GCC countries entirely Arabic and Singapore with about an 80% ethnic Chinese population); and (2) they have largely been developed under dictatorial and/or autocratic leadership (and you can add South Korea to list, with a basically ethnically homogeneous population and developed under the iron fist of General Park).

In Nigeria, we have reportedly over 200+ ethnic groups fighting with each other, and if you dare to even suggest demolishing crumbling buildings on Lagos Islands, slums that pockmark our urban cities, illegal markets or mechanic workshops along the streets or underneath high-tension power lines, you had better be ready for armed combat or endless court injunctions. We have to accept that our chaos is the price we pay for our relative freedom, while the Ruler of Dubai can simply decree that he suddenly wants to build a canal down the middle of the city and all land require thereto is simply ceded to the state.

Dude, Ghana’s est GDP (about $40bn) is LESS than one-third the est GDP of Lagos State ($136bn)...

Nonetheless, I was discussing the SPECIFIC economies that were cited in the post that I was responding to (Singapore and GCC countries - albeit I added South Korea to reaffirm the basic points I made). And Ghana cannot carry an economic jockstrap to these countries.

You forgot to include the fact that there is a beautiful waterfall,right inside the arrival hall of Changi airport in Singapore. That airport is beautiful, and efficiently run.

9jaRealist:
Purely political concepts that are designed to placate Nigeria’s often adverse 200+ ethnicities, such as federal character and distribution of offices/amenities among the different geo-political zones, among others, means that personnel, economic, healthcare, education, infrastructural, industry, jobs and so many other decisions in Nigeria are not necessarily based strictly on the merits. Even here on Nairaland, issues can hardly (if ever) be discussed and/or evaluated strictly on the merits without it degenerating into a heated ethnic feud.

Hian, for saying God didn’t give Nigeria sense to manage her resources, I will send your details to Buhari and you will be arrested in the next 24hours , kidding with you though, @topic, I can't agree with you less.

l read an article yesterday about the UAE, the Sovereign wealth fund of ABU DAHBI alone is 875 billion dollars and that of Nigeria is 2.15 billion dollars, Nigeria is about 200 million in population the UAE is about 9.5 million, local citizens is about 1.5 million while foreign expat is around 8 million.

Nigeria, the UAE and several GCC countries all have oil and gas, one is smart/ intelligent with pragmatic, visionary and caring leaders while the other one has a burukutu / Suya / cow rearing president ruling the country with 14th century brain and the results is what you see all over the country = the headquarters of poverty in the world

This is an appeal to all Nigerians living or visiting any part of the world.

Please anytime you see IGBO people at any airport or streets around the world, call police - you will be saving the lives of other Nigerians.

I have called the police on over three dozen IGBOs at airports and cities in Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa, many were found with drugs and other contraband on their person or at their homes. The ones without drugs had 419 labs



As a Nigerian you can spot them easily by some traits.

If you want to get more respect at airports, cities, and streets as a Nigerian, you need to ensure the people responsible for tha bad reputation of Nigerians abroad are stopped.

Research shows that many places where blacks (not just Nigerians) face sudden humiliation, racism, rejection, abuse were caused by IGBO drug dealers and 419 operatives having been in the news for the wrong reasons. The recent one I saw even black American military men are now stopped and searched in Japan because of IGBO drug dealing there. Hotels in some Asian countries refusing blacks thanks to IGBOS, Thai police now have a task force for blacks until I educated them on IGBO sounding names and behaviour, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Dubai, many others thinks blacks should be banned at airports since IGBOs started the drug trade and 419 there, The list goes on. Everywhere I have asked for data I get IGBO names, anywhere I go on business or private trips and check for black criminals IGBO people emerge!!!

IGBO people have for over 50 years destroyed the Nigerian passport in all corners of the globe leading to ill treatment and humiliation of innocent Nigerians daily at many airports and cities around the world.

Because of religious beliefs and stupidity, most Nigerians tend to accept collective blame for crimes that are predominantly done by IGBOs - they are simply described as Nigerians!
