At least Ghana has an economy.

Nigeria's economy is in the hands of a few crooks.

kick rock.

Ghana will NEVER have a reason to fear Nigeria.

Nigeria is her own worst enemy.

South Africa
Labor force:
18.22 million economically active (2008 est.) �


NIGERIA
Labor force:
51.04 million (2008 est.) �

This is the biggest Estimate of POVERTY.

Nigeria have 3 TIMES more poverty (people) than South Africa.

the more people you have and less you are able to feed them the more disease, crime, death, destruction, famine and Poverty.

This is why Nigerians flock to South Africa.

In reality. Both countries are fugged up. South African whites are still in control, and the Nigerian Government is ran by multinationals.


you'd probably get by better in South Africa than Nigeria ,

Nigeria is GONE!

I wouldn't damage my reputation either by visiting that hellish place.

Thereby putting a stamp on their searing corruption

why was this thread hijacked?

It is called "ideological capture"

poor people on the brink will believe in anything to bring them substances.

poor people are easily led.

Poor people believe that supernatural powers are causing their fate.

IT'S ALL BULLSHIT!!!

MAN is causing their Pain.

MAN is causing their poverty.



yet they are not intelligent enough to see it (its not their fault).

and this is why Nigeria's international reputation is:

[b]FRAUDSTERS

THIEVES

UNDERHANDED

SHADY

LIARS[/b]etc.,

which is why NOBODY wants to invest in Nigeria and why Nigerians are denied Visa's and Despised Globally.

Thus, Lagos will continue to get bigger more polluted and diseased.

Besides, those days are over, and the poor fools that got rich quick are now BROKE!

The people known for working "menial" jobs are Hispanics/Latinos. Africans especially Nigerians here in the US are known for being nurses (with their own home health agencies), doctors, biochemical engineers, lawyers, professors etc. I do not see anything "menial" in those jobs.

Really?

I see more cab drivers than anything.

Certainly you can become a nurse. Which is funny ass hell to see this big black arse man as a nurse. But, hey, it pays the bills, Yet, for natural born Americans, they only stay in that profession for 3 years tops. They MAX out because of the stress.

Actually, its bad everywhere and folks are LYING when they say they are not petrified of the current job market.

If they got a job - they are getting more assignments.

39% taxes? Interesting. I thought it was 24%.

Are you trying to tell us you're a high income earner so Nigerians can overlook your babyish rants? Or are you trying to snag a girl? Huh

I don't have to snag you.  I already done that.  

I don't think you pay taxes because I've never heard of a 24% tax rate.

What have I done for my country?

NOT A MOTHA - FUGGIN THING!!!!

They take 39% of my taxes to provide me with clean water, an electricity grid, roads, schools, police, fire, plumbing, hospitals, etc.

yet the super-rich gets all kinds of tax breaks.

Your countrys money is in its HUMAN CAPITAL.  Get them to work then they can take their taxes and grow your government.

But instead of DEVELOPING business, your country is in the hands of a few IDIOTS in cohoots with the IMF, WorldBank and allowing Pertoleum companies to run your country.

There is NOTHING to be done for your country UNTIL your government cut off the Multinational corporations.

"I LOOK NIGERIA BECAUSE I DEEM IT NECESSARY"

High fertility: Population is growing fastest in the poorest countries, those least able to provide for basic needs and create opportunities. Within countries, the poorest families also tend to be the largest ones, but poverty of choices may be as important as poverty of means in determining family size. The people and countries most affected are concentrated in Africa and South Asia, but there are some in every developing region. The fastest-growing regions of the world are sub-Saharan Africa, parts of South Asia and West Asia. Their share of the global population has been increasing steadily for 40 years. These regions are joining other regions in becoming predominantly urban. There is no sign of a global ‘birth dearth’.

Low fertility: At the same time, 61 countries are seeing fertility at or below replacement level, and their populations could decline over the long term. As fertility falls in more countries, this phenomenon could affect countries with as many as two thirds of the world’s people. There is no sign of a global "birth dearth", however: births will continue at over 100 million a year for the next 50 years. Deaths will rise during this period as populations become increasingly older.

This slow demographic change calls for policy choices: there will be implications for the structure of health care, pensions and social security, and for family relationships and inter-generational responsibility. Low-fertility countries will look to active older people and immigrants to supply some needed services and contribute to the economy.

One apparent choice, higher birth rates and larger families, is not open to low-fertility countries. No country in history has ever succeeded in raising birth rates over a long period once they have started to decline.
