You will agree Nigerian needs to be colonised after watching this video of a travel blogger to Karenbug,Namibia. They are way ahead us us in terms of infrastructure development and it is no surprise they were rated as having the best road network in Africa. This is a beautiful country to plan a road trip exploring the beauty Africa has to offer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi4dQs65KlA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozXxntc05v0 |

Namibian has the best road network in Africa because the President of the country comes to personally inspect the highways and motivate the workers constructing the roads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULYGwTAXf9U

Namibia has great infrastructure but the unemployment rate there isn't a joke. It's the highest in the world. Nigeria comes second after it. |

Most likely a place for rich/middle class to retire in a black dominated country. 2 Likes |

tensazangetsu20:True, not sure why they unemployment rate is so high. Could it be most of the Namibians don't like to pursue higher education. They have world class road network, 24 hour electricity and a quality university. And the country is relatively safe,you can travel across the country without encountering any road blacks from police,customs or army officials and don't have to worry about encountering herdsmens,armed robbers or kidnappers. There has been significant foreign investment in the country since it gained independence from South Africa in 1990. 1 Like |

Gerrard59:If you are rich or middle class this is a the perfect African country to retire to. With $100,000 you can acquire a Namibian passport |
Re: Video : Road Trip Across Namibia by Gerrard59(m): 7:48pm On Mar 30, 2021 |
RuudVanNisteroy: Quite pointless because anyone who can afford that and decides to live in Namibia must hold a passport of developed country. Nevertheless, it's a good place to retire and run the business from there/receive pensions/dividends. 2 Likes |

Gerrard59:You can't match the all year warm weather Namibia has to offer even if you hold a Canadian,UK,Netherlands or German passport. Most German descendants and nationals decided to stay in Namibia even after independence in 1990. |

RuudVanNisteroy: This is what I mean: as a black person especially someone who grew up in a black dominated environment but later relocated for greener pastures, Namibia is a good place to retire to. Now, a black person from my definition who has $100K to buy her citizenship certainly is a citizen of a developed country. How many Nigerians migrate to Namibia for greener pastures compared to the UK or Canada? But will all of those who moved to either the UK or Canada retire there? No. Namibia is that option for them but it's pointless for these people (who already hold a British or Canadian passport) to purchase that of Namibia's. Nothing concerns me with German descendants, most if not all aren't black people. |

RuudVanNisteroy: Legacy of apartheid from South African rule. So inequality is entrenched and the economy still needs structural reform. Same issues SA faces. 1 Like |
Re: Video : Road Trip Across Namibia by Nobody: 8:32pm On Mar 30, 2021 |
TMKsouth:Inequality in ownership of resources has been around from time immemorial. Even in western countries the richest 1% own majority of the economic means of production. I think the issue lies with possibly the literacy rates and the average Namibian not possesing the required skills needed to work in the banking,diamonds and healthcare industry. And that is the effect of apartheid, the blacks were not trained to take over leadership of the economy. I believe that will change with the younger generation. |
Re: Video : Road Trip Across Namibia by TMKsouth: 9:39pm On Mar 30, 2021 |
RuudVanNisteroy: Namibia and SA rank amongst the Top 5 most unequal societies on the planet so it's nothing near what you experience in the West. There's a difference between inequality among well-off people in the West (the rich and the super rich - 99% Vs 1%), and inequality between the rich and poor (as you find in Namibia, SA or Brazil). Namibia and SA have some of the highest literacy rates on the continent, with poor results though (ironically), and the structure of the economies limits growth, they are mostly monopolised. Think of the fact that SA has only 5 major banks (compare with Nigeria) and new entrants are quickly swallowed up or eliminated. At the same time they don't expand at a fast enough rate to match population growth. This is replicated throughout many industries of the economy. In Nigeria you've probably noticed the stranglehold of SA companies like MTN and DSTV, very hostile to competition. So no amount of re-skilling will work to address high unemployment until these monopolies are broken down and black new entrants given space to flourish, but there's little political will. I really can't claim expertise on this subject dude, but whatever is going on here needs Oxford and Harvard graduates for analysis. |

RuudVanNisteroy always get his own lessons from watching too more YouTube videos. YouTube reality is different from real life. |

thebosstrevor1:World Economic Forum also rated Namibia as having the best road network in Africa. Youtube is simply a means to verify that assertion. 1 Like |

TMKsouth: What is difficult in both Namibia and Botswana implementing this scheme? Gerrard59: I believe if such is done, their economies will grow. On its own, migration increases a country's GDP 1 Like 1 Share |

Gerrard59:Foreign investors will pull out and it will bring negative public relations to both countries worldwide. Before a country decides to implement a major economic decision they have to do a cost/benefit analysis. Zimbabwe tried to do the same under the late Mugabe and look how the country turned out. How do forcefully acquire companies or shares from fellow Namibians or Botswanans that are white and their generations have been around for over a 100 years and distribute it to the black population. The white population second or third generation acquired the wealth through crooked or legitimate ways decades ago. There is no fair and equitable way to go about this when you punish the children for what their parents or grandparents did. |

Namibia is densely populated as well. They have good schools and Windhoek the capital is very beautiful albeit laid-back. 1 Like |
