UAE: 12 million people
Nigeria: 211 million people.


UAE : 3.8 million barrels per day
Nigeria: 2.4 million barrels per day

For Nigeria to look like the UAE, we have to tell 200 million out of the 211 million Nigerians that they are not entitiled to Nigerian citizenship .

You guys should stop comparing us with the UAE...whether a single state, or a nation. The thing is, we need to go from being an oil dependent nation to being an industrially self reliant and exporter of industrial goods nation.

Like Japan, china, and germany.

You guys should Stop wasting your time on these ijaw or Izon people.
Once an Ijaw man wakes up in the morning, he puts on his hat, ties a wrapper round his waist and grabs his walking stick off he goes to GBARAMATU creek to join his mates in drinking Ogogoro mixed with kain kain where they serenade themselves with songs from Chief Kingsley Takemobo and Alfred JKing while staring at the backside of ijaw women going to the farm.
Ijaw people are okay with their 13% percent oil derivatives as long as there's continuous supply of Ogogoro, roasted fish and plantain, nothing dey happen.

UAE is an Islamic state and they don't allow their excess marriage and having many kids according to their religion to influence them...


The North is using their excess population for political gain...

They should make laws to control child bearing...

So, why are most African countries , including those without a Muslim population , STILL as broke as Nigeria is, and take loans well well, like Nigeria?

Because they are all resource dependent countries. They run economies which believe in selling oil or whatever, at prices we don't control, and which never reach the level we want it to be, and using the revenue to import and import.

Which stifles industrial growth, and leads to a massive lack of jobs...and leads to Southerners saying that your certificate does not matter, and Northerners saying Boko HARAM.

Zambia is a Christian majority country , and has no Muslim majority, yet is as broke as Nigeria, with a lower GDP...because they rely on copper whose price is not as high as they want it to be, and use their revenue to import and import...and they spend more on imports because they are landlocked.(Transit fees)

Uganda and Kenya are in the same boat. As are most subsaharan African countries.

The UAE is like Botswana...they earn a lot of oil money for their small populaiton, so they can afford all kinds of goodies. But they don't have much of a domestic industry, and the minute the oil runs out...or electic power cars become a reality...they will be as broke as we are now.

Is that a reason why your nigeria state uses it's military to hold down Ijaws while pumping and selling their oil and uses the money to develop Abuja and Lagos? Anyway, I blame the Ijaws that let their hatred against the Igbos blind them into submission.

Keep your mouth shut! You know nothing about economics.
Population can play a positive impact or negative impact depending on how it's being managed.
The problem with African countries, especially Nigeria is that they fail to invest in human capital.
Even when China was practising Autarky, they still had the wisdom to sending most of their scholars to the west especially the US to acquire knowledge and come back to use the same knowledge to grow their economy.
If I may ask, how is Nigeria fairing in research and development? Sebi you and I were here when the head of an agency charged with the responsibility of promulgating science and technology went to the Senate to brag about optimizing Kilishi production.
With all these, how do you think Nigeria as a country will navigate herself from economic quagmire and doldrums and catapult herself into economic prosperity.

What about Ijaws taking control of their oil, sell and manage it 100% as they like. And other regions should try taking the route of China as you explain and want above? Don deal?

You missed my point completely.

Anyway, in brief, even if the Ijaws and everyone else had control of their resources 100%...they would still be broke for the simple reason that resource dependent states are not rich states.

Due to the fact that the price of what you sell is liable to go down below your sustenance price.

Personally, if you Nigerians, and Biafrans, and whatever can follow the path of industries, and not the path of selling more and more oil, or looking for oil like Bubu is wasting money doing...you would be more developed than you can dream of.

But no, you want a national cake...to import.

I want every state and region, oil producers inclusive, to go the way of china.

Oil is soon coming to an end . The future belongs to those who can innovate and innovate...and be industrial.

Everyone is producing oil...so prices are going to keep on and on dropping.

We are, in essence, saying the same thing.

I am saying that African countries depend too much on selling resources and importing stuff...at the expoense of induistries, and at the expense of research and development.

Also, the point I was making in what you quoted is that resource dependent countries that are prosperous, have small populations. Nigeria cannot be as prosperous as the UAE is because our population is too large to live on the revenue we earn from oil. Even when we were selling cocoa, palm oil etc...our population was still too large for the revenue we earned.

Hence we have to go industrial.

Sorry you missed that.

They cannot fight the joint forces of tribes benefiting from free money. They can only choose to join forces with the most powerful and dominant tribe, currently one of the tribes is proving that it is eligible.

Ijaws are not interested in progress. They had resource control in their province under the old Eastern region but igbophobia made them form an alliance with the north in 1966.

Gowon scrapped resource control immediately and north did not allow the Niger Delta get any meaningful oil derivation until Igbos supported them to get 13% during the 1995 constitutional conference organised by Abacha.

Okay, we are good then. You see ehn....the problem with African countries seems homogenous in nature. Do you know how much the western world's budget for human capital I.e research and development? A lot!
What most of us were taught in school is "Export should be higher than import but none emphasised on the quality of exports.
Nigeria mostly exports raw goods that are mostly prices low in the international markets.
Unless we start paying attention to quality education that will enhance and spark brains that will revolutionize science and technology we will continue to remain underdeveloped.
