KanuSE:


You obviously missed the point. The argument is not about economic superiority between US and China, but maximizing the potential and human resources of a large population for substantial development.

and you missed the point.

Big population can be advantage or a burden.

If you have large productive population then it's advantage.
If you have large useless population who only are expert in fucking, producing children and asking God to provide everything for them, it's a burden.


Just like if you have 2 kids like bill gates and Steve jobs is better than have 20kids who are just labourers and agberos.

BennyDGreat:


Fingers are not equal, agreed but... Efficient management is what makes the difference

management doesnt do jack if you don't have the resources to manage.

You think Dubai are that good in management?

You think there is no corruption or mismanagement in dubai? With all the emirs etc connering all the money made or using it to sponsor terrorism all the world?

They still manage to stay on top because everything is just to their advantage.

Some nations are that blessed.
Take Dubai oil away and watch become another irrelevant city.

KanuSE:


Your argument of population comparison does not hold water bcoz 18 million people in Lagos is supposed to translate to more wealth creation than 3.5 million people in Dubai.

China has proven the theory, so I'm not going to engage in an argument on that.

It takes political will and a people with unity of purpose to turn things around.

Bye.

how has china proven the theory when USA less than a fraction of china's population the one holding the biggest economy in the world for over 5 decades now?

Population is not an advantage anymore, it's about how productive your citizens are. And natural resources at your disposal.

Take china and India as example?

but you are using your brain and you still couldn't answer the simple question.

at the end of the 2nd world war, Japan and Germany were the most devastated countries in the world at the time. pls how much oil did they sell to become what they are today?

okay.

I wasted my time talking to a senseless person.

lexy2014:


since it isnt rocket science and you are using your sense, i am surprised that you cant answer the simple questions.

1. how did Dubai make this hypothetical 5billion naira?

2. did Dubai always have "5 billion naira" to share for its 2 children?

3. is it because it has less "children" to cater for that is the reason why it has achieved all it has achieved?

4. based on your theory of population, is Dubai richer than China?

6. what is a country's greatest resource?

are you blind or can't read?

I said Dubai made the 5 billion from oil(natural resources).
Oil That Lagos doesn't have anything close to.

I don't have time for stupidity o. Are you ready to read or not?

lexy2014:


but you are using your brain and you still couldn't answer the simple question.

at the end of the 2nd world war, Japan and Germany were the most devastated countries in the world at the time. pls how much oil did they sell to become what they are today?

you are shutting your sense again.. I'm not disputing that Nigeria is a failed country, I'm telling you it makes no sense to compare Lagos and dubai.

Comparing Nigeria and Germany is an entirely new argument which is not my concern cos Nigeria is a failed country as it is. And the failure has started since 1914 that the word Nigeria came into existence.

Im only here to show you to use your sense and compare things that makes sense.

lexy2014:


at the end of the 2nd world war, Japan and Germany were the most devastated countries in the world at the time. pls how much oil did they sell to become what they are today?

now you are starting to use your brain.

You should be making comparisons like that. Not Lagos and dubai.

It's not even close. Thats mango and orange comparison.

lexy2014:


lets see if you are using your sense. how did Dubai make this hypothetical 5billion naira?

did Dubai always have "5 billion naira" to share for its 2 children?

is it because it has less "children" to cater for that is the reason why it has achieved all it has achieved?

based on your theory of population, is Dubai richer than China?

what is a country's greatest resource?

Again, use your sense. This is not rocket science now?


Some people are more blessed than the other when it comes to natural resources.

Just like dangote is more blessed to have over 10 billion dollars and you don't have up to 1 million naira in your account. Yet both of you are likely to be working the same hours of job.
Fingers are not equal.

Dubai made it from natural resources they have in abundance.. which is oil and it's more blessed in other sectores too.

If Lagos had the type of oil Dubai have and it's keeping it all for himself and instead of entire Nigeria, it will make sense for you to compare them.



As for children, if I have 100k and only have to cater for 2 children, I will still have more money left in my account to do other things than you with the same 100k and have to cater for 20 children..

lexy2014:

/
and so? how does that epalin why Dubai is more successful and prosperous than /Lagos and the whole Nigeria?

use your sense na?

If I have 5 billion naira, and I only I have 2 children to cater for. Won't I be richer, have better life and properties than you that have 500 thousand and 20 children to catar for?

ufotunang:
.. only Peter obi that can build this

the same person that couldn't tame erosion in Anambra will suddenly build cities?

Una no just get sense for this nairaland.

COMPAQ:


They also don't realize the massive money Dubai makes from tourism! Not to mention the private equity it attracts.

Like, people just open mouth and talk without using their number 6 at all.

Dubai makes over 250 dollars from tourism in 2019 alone. Just tourism o. And only 3.5million people had to share that.

Entire Lagos budget for 18 million people in 2023 is not even close to 2 billion dollars, black market rate.


Then someone wakes up and act surprised that Dubai is way ahead.

uckennety:


Once upon a time Lagos was more beautiful than Dubai and Singapore

Today they are 1000 years ahead of Nigeria

Give Nigeria every thing they need

Your tribal leaders will loot it and blame it on igbos

Igbo leaders will steal it and blame it on Nigerian corrupt govt

Dubai population is less than 3.5million, Lagos population increased exponentially to almost 18million, thanks to people trooping in.


Dubai selling more than 3 times the oil Nigeria is selling and it only had to cater for 3.5 million people.

Lagos is catering for over 18 million people with less than 10% of what Dubai annually.


Make una dey think na

Hedonini:


Not to mention that South Africa would obviously have a more efficient, better implemented budget than Nigeria where corruption and inefficiency would dilute that $50b to like $10b, if not less in implementation value.

We have no foreseeable pathway to development. Not in a country where people are actually rooting for someone like Tinubu of all people to perpetuate the rot/disrepair that would forever define us.

tinubu is actually the only reasonable pathway to development cos of his antecedent.

Lagos Atlantic is on its way and that's vision of tinubu.

Name any other candidate that comes close? Is it atiku that sold all major federal government properties for scrap or obi that couldn't tame ordinary erosion in his state?

Make una dey think this thing na.

Is this before or after declaring religious war on unsuspecting Muslims?

So, what happened to your voices when the Ukraine war started?

Where were your demands when Xenophobia was at its height in South Africa??!

Why the special interest in the Nigerians in Sudan??!

Just curious!

did they stop you from crying for people in south Africa and Ukraine?

Why are you not crying to fg to evacuate Nigerians from sudan like you did for south Africa and Ukraine?

When I told you guys early on that Boli was one of the major problems, y'all thought I was joking.

"Trust the process, trust the process". What process?

Man even had the balls to say we would win 3 - 0 against Real Madrid. That's an insult to every Chelsea supporter.

Why fans never turn on this guy I never know? Ok, I think some actually did.

Football no be like some american sports where you create unnecessary drama by taking interviews during half, pausing a game for some more dramas and all that nonsense. Football is passion, it's intelligence, it's 99% mental.

This man is taking us to where we no know and unless someone within his crew place a check on him, it's gonna be a long long ride.

He will soon get glazers treatment if this madness continues next season.

All his decisions the season are the worse decisions I have ever seen in football history.

Greedy thieves!

if you want to sell your used car, won't you use the money to buy a new car that will cost more now?

Let's say you decided to buy phone.
You want to choose between Tecno and samsung.
The Tecno costs 10 and the Samsung costs 15 naira.

You decided to go for the Tecno for 10 cos thats what you can afford at that particular moment.


So as god blessed you small, you decided you want to upgrade to 15naira Samsung by selling your used Tecno, then sellers are telling you that Tecno that you bought for 10 naira is now 20 naira and the Samsung is now 30 naira?

What do you do? Do you sell the Tecno for the 10 you bought and add 20 naira to buy Samsung, or do you sell the Tecno for 15-18 naira depending on grade or how you used the phone, so you can add just 12 or 15 naira to get the Samsung you wanted?

Roberto Carlos was the best player on Playstation 1 - Winning 11 series that year

Shot power - 18

Speed - 19

Acceleration - 19

With the above attributes, most peeps used him as a CF or LWF.

Robertooooo......Carrooooos!!!

best player? More like night mare player.
Just play him as striker, drop 1-2 from the center of the pitch, drive him to perfect angle and that's one goal down

localbreed:
SE has the largest population density (followed by South south) in Nigeria .

So even if you check it by richest region per square miles, It will still be in that order .

entire south east is not up to half of borno state

Raymeskey:
These classifation is based on what data?
Who carried out the research?
What was the procedure implore in the research?




I'm very sure these people that type this did not travel round the country. They just purported these figures and published

based on common data found on the internet.

Borno state alone is 3 times the size of south east with less population than south east.

So each person has plenty square miles of land to himself compared to south east.

Note, borno is not even the biggest state in the north.

MrBrownJay1:
what type of Xray vision they have, to know that these containers are empty?

well the person that posted the picture is likely obidient who likes toying with the emotions of the herd.

He knows Nigerians like to complain about everything and hate to ask logical question.

He saw container leaving then assume it's empty cos that's what will drive his people to masturbate. Especially those who don't wanna hear anything good about nigeria before...


If the news had been, 4000 thousand container leaving Nigeria fully loaded, their brain will suddenly start working to question how the person know it's loaded or they will just ignore it outrightly because it's not the bad news they want to hear.

It's almost like emefiele sha always want to be in the news.

Dem don swear for that man.

vincenteger:


So what did you gain posting it on nairaland
What have we learnt from it.
It's useless if you don't treat this on Twitter

to learn not to be stup1d as the obidients who blame APC for all their problems.

vincenteger:


They are just ignorant.
I believe you are educated
Why not inform them about it with you skipping the part of APc as well.

Rather you bring it to nairaland so that we can laugh or do what exactly.
What exactly can we learn here when you guys were supposed to correct this on twitter.

because they already concluded it was apc, like they have done for everything that has gone wrong in the life of their obi messaiah.

They blamed apc for tape.
They blamed apc for his arrest in London.

You think they are interested in opinion that says otherwise?

vincenteger:
It's nairaland's moderators that are promoting this hate and tribal war in nairaland.
Why bring this to the front page why you know that people who posted this on twitter are not aware of the new updates on twitter.

You just want other to bash them and see them as bad people.
The relevant topics won't make front-page

Nonsense and ingredients

if they are not aware, why is their default setting to blame APC first instead of asking why it was removed?

ORIAYO70:



They r so senseless.
Only foolish people don't take responsibility.

If obi can't pee is Apc..

If obi is nauseating is Apc.

If obi can't perform bedroom duty is Apc... Set of headless mob. Don't mind Dem.. they r losers.

I mean, if they blame APC for the crime obi committed in UK, nothing should really surprise you.

Nzogbu nzogbu politics will do that to you.
