The military coup of 1966 really did a number on Nigeria that the country has never recovered. It gave guys with probably not even high school diplomas opportunities to run a country. I mean running a country is really, really difficult even for those who were well educated and trained now imagine how much more difficult it is for someone with just a secondary school diploma. All those folks who were trained and educated by the British were either killed or sidelined by the military. Think about this, since Nigeria got independence, only 2 Presidents have gotten a bachelors degree (I am excluding Yar'adua because he didn't stay long) and one of them didn't even have a relevant degree (Veterinary Medicine) so that leaves only Tinubu as the only guy with the academic training to run the office.
Has Tinubu's academic qualification been verified. We keep talking about the coup while deliberately forgetting all the rubbish politicians did that precipitated the crisis that brought the coup.

It should be very obvious that it's unproductive region like sad east dragging us back
Walahi you don't have sense ooooo have you seen the latest GDP figures. All the south east states have higher GDPs than SW states the only exception is Lagos.
You people should know when to have shame and shut up. You people need to be flogged every morning for 30 days so that you will have sense.

Why can't the heading reads : Nigeria in top 20 richest African countries instead.

Must we report in the Negative all the time?
It is better we tell ourselves the truth and stop lying to ourselves. Why are we not in the Top 5 if we are the giant of Africa.

what a shameless idiat so let assume the two universities you mentioned were headed by ibos which was base on appointment, are those universities in your cursed region?🤣🤣🤣

You low inferior ibos can’t even boast of a cosmopolitan city has developed has Ibadan the capital of oyo which is just about the size of your poto poto region,but yet you can’t develop a state to that standard and not to talk of Lagos and besides is Lagos in your cursed land?

Low inferior ibo🤣🤣 btw proudly Lagos…mention what your cursed tribe has achieved greater than Yorubas?

Ibadan has the first Tv station, first story building, 1st university and teaching hospitals, first estate and also and industrial state with just oluyole industrial estate far more viable and industrialised than your shitty region🤣🤣

And pls post the stats of development index you better than the Sw with🤣🤣 shameless third class Osu pig🤣🤣

Yorubas control the financial sector, insurance, real estate, media, entertainment, education e.t.c with the highest number of human capital development grin

Pls wake me up when you beat that record, you are just shameless, it’s even an insult exchanging word with a low life inferior ibo like you even in politics, we no be your papa mate🤣🤣
Have small shame IGR is not a measure of wealth. This has been busted and you are still clutching straws(not sure your brain can comprehend).

Data isn't same as being informed. Per capital is more of a function of population. But if we check per GDP, you find it different
Our GDP is low as well, let us stop this deceit.

It’s you who should find shame. Google India’s GDP per capita in comparison to Seychelles and Nigeria. We all share in this malaise, as you stated, our largely unproductive population is responsible for this. The fact that I stated the obvious doesn’t imply that Nigeria is in the best place.

The question should be does it really mean Seychelles is richer than India, China and Nigeria?

GDP per capita isn’t the best metric for measuring the wealth of a nation

Lagos state is richer than Seychelles
Have you been to Seychelles. I have been and their standard of living trumps lagos by far.

No! No!! No!!
If you convert to GDP per capital, the narration would be
1. Lagos
2. Bayelsa
3. Imo
4. Akwa-Ibom
5. Ondo
6. Delta

Anambra is not in first ten
Bros cool down with the lie Ondo is not there. Anambra is there before Delta. Anambra's GDP is higher than Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti.

I really want to understand something.

So from this your analysis you just post, you saying our population is too much, am i right?

Nigeria is like a man with 20 kids who earns N200k a month bragging that he is richer than a man with only 2 kids who earns N70k/month. grin GDP per capita tells all the stories.

U are dull, together with the 70 people with their useless likes.

GDP is calculated by a country income divided by their population.

Our population is huge, over 210 million.u can compare this to Seychelles, EG, and so on.

Olodo
There is Nominal and real GDP both of them have Nigeria lowly rated bro

see this fuool. Data shows Seychelles is richer than Nigeria. And your talking about lagos. Even 10 Nigeria not richer than one Seychelles.

Seychelles is richer than china, which is richer than India which is richer than Nigeria.

Igbos are the most deceptive people on earth grin
Whenever they want to hoodwink and rile up gullible Nigerians, they tell everyone how Nigeria is the richest country in Africa hindered only by corruption, but when we tell them that’s not the case, they tell us to shut up.
Now, since the news of the SE having the lowest IGR came out, they have finally found something to spin this fact upside down but inadvertently admitting what we’ve always said that Nigeria has always been a poor country
Bro stop trying to use tribalism and ethnic incitement. What the igbo guy posted about Nigeria's GDP is it true or false? Again the one that ranked SE low is you guys that mischievously wanted to sell a false agenda. The data in that showed FAAC + IGR we know FAAC is federal allocation and not generated revenue. And as for IGR we already know it is not an I dictator of wealth if not Ogun will not be a shit hole as it is now, GDP especially real GDP is the indicator of wealth.

Oya bring statistical data to show how many people have been leaving for SW for let's say the last 20 years. Also calculate the trend and the rate at which they leave. You see Nollywood has made you behave foolish in reasoning.

To calculate per capita, you divide a value or figure by the population size. For example, to calculate per capita income, you divide a country's total income by its population.

It is not the population that is the issue. It is the low standard of living and poor population power. China has 1.5billion and it has not affected them negatively. Make una fear God and stop lying.

You can say that about China because they produce products that are sold worldwide. But their population is still used when calculating their percapita.
Nigerians don't produce much, so what do you expect.

Try and have sense GDP and GDP per capita are two different things and they are noth indicators of productivity and it shows how efficient wealth distribution is in the population. Both parameter are poor for Nigeria. So you are the clown here bro, just have shame and shut up. This plot from you guys have failed.

GDP and GDP per capita are indicators of productivity. GDP per capita is an indicator of how efficient wealth is distributed in the population. Both parameters are low for Nigeria.

Ode, mumu, the point of contention is why are they low. No one is disputing that they are low.
Your retar@ded friend is trying to blame Tinubu for something generational.
