its in ur nature u nigerians are corrupt well most of u really

funny am a Ghanaian and i also heard a similar story growing up.

u know they say ther's no smoke without fire so i suspect there might be a little truth in all that hearsay Abbi?

who wants to learn how 2 cook jollof rice?

reading through the posts, i discover that most of the countries listed do not appear in the top 5. firslty the only valid criteria in my opinion for classifying a nation as developed is its human development index (HDI). Human Development Index is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, developing, or under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. The index was developed in 1990 by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq. Countries (almost all UN member states and a couple of special territories) fall into three broad categories based on their HDI: high, medium, and low human development. by this internationally acceppted criteria, the 5 developed african countries are
1.Seychelles
2.Mauritius
3.Libya
4. Algeria
5.Cape verde

south africa is 8, Ghana is 15 and Nigeria is 32.


yes we all know that in terms of GDP South Africa Africa's richest economy but this does not tranlate into the Highest HDI due to obvious reasons

ther's a sayin that empty barrels make the most noise. most crtical unachieving people talk alot and am afraid that is what some nigerians turn to be
