They don’t produce anything of value. And it’s not a great country to life based on QOL metrics. A coutnry that’s not an industrial powerhouse is by definition a shitbole and a lazy shitbole. It’s alright I know Africans are lazy and unproductive and contribute nothing to the world 😂

How can you be sucvesulf when your not even industrialised?😂

😂😂😂, Nah, Botswana is relatively industrialized and pushing for more Industrialization, their industrial sector accounted 37% of its GDP in 2022... What you said is "Industrial Powerhouse", damn, by that logic, so many countries are lazy shitholes all around the world in all Continents, especially small population countries, they are all shitholes, because why should they have a small population that makes them not be able to become an industrial powerhouse🤔🤔.

That’s not the only metric for determining a nation’s success. I never said it was

But yet, you've been yapping about it as a point since, there are several more examples i could give from just that list alone... Shut your mouth, let the analysts analyse, and you can't go against them😂😂😂.

Going back to a previous comment of yours; Dude actually said he will rip away the Black pride😂😂😂, that sounds like some KKK member shit. Do you actually hear yourself sometimes?, dude sounding like a KKK member saying "I will leach the Black away from you" 😂😂😂... I'm not against people hating themselves, if you do, i'm alright with that, i would advice therapy though; but most people in the world actually love themselves, i know i do. And no, i don't love others based off Race, it's always personality.

The funny thing is i don't even have a Black pride even though i am a very happy Black man, i have a "My" pride because i take pride in my own achievements, just like every humans at the end of the day takes pride in their own achievements... Calling out your delusions and biases isn't pride;

* I know for a fact many African countries are shitholes... I've said this countlessly, even when calling India a shithole, i specifically always denote that they're still way better than Nigeria even as a shithole; So i don't even get were you think i'm comparing both those countries from... That's just it, i don't deny mine, i say shit as they are, you outrightly deflect or lie just to please a point stemmed from what?, i don't even know because i don't want to jump into conclusions.

* I know for almost certainty that there's no other way for Nigeria other than to secede, and all 5 geopolitical zones goes their seperate ways... I know you're Igbo based off you talking about secession in the only topic you've made on Nairaland, i'm Niger-Deltan, won't tell you the tribe though; and i'm not at all for an all Eastern block Biafra seperation... Though i still doubt that you're Igbo, or even Nigerian, because that topic specifically says North and South divide, even though an Igbo will usually say Biafra divide.

* As an Athiest, i know that Religion on the continent needs to be seriously mitigated... It's why i extremely love what Kigame is doing in Rwanda, and why i was pissed off by the Reactions of Nigerians when Obi said "We would turn Night vigils into Night shifts".

* I also know for a fact that most Analysts see Botswana as a successful Nation, making everything you've been saying pure delusion.

* And i also know that India is a shithole, there is literally a shit issue in the country Mr "Take Poo To The Loo" campaign, SHIThole, the country isn't even a shithole in just the metaphorical sense, they are in the literal sense too😂😂😂... The worst part is you keep comparing them to the West, like what the f*ck?, yes they have a global presence, but who the f*ck won't with the very highest population in the world, half their population alone is enough to give a presense, it's the least they can do or they're completely f*cked... China i can very much even understand; but India is not even close, Indians themselves will laugh at such a comparison, i've seen Indians laugh at such a comparison.

And yes, i do know that some of what i said are "Just talking", i purposely did it.

As for my Blackness or being a happy Black man; yea, sorry you can't rip that away, maybe try that with some individuals that's having some self-loathing tendencies, they are better suited for your "Verbal experiment".

Relatively industrialised yet 30% of the population lives without power😂 industrialised but yet it has dilipadiated/non existent infrastructure😂😂 you and this your Botswana. Botswana is by definition not an industrialised country. Botswana is not considered an industrialized country. still considered a developing country with a strong reliance on natural resources. industrial sector is relatively small compared to its mineral wealth and agricultural base. I’m sorry but picking up diamonds is not industrial activity

As of the most recent data, Botswana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by sector is approximately:
• Services: 70.6%
• Industry: 27.5%
• Agriculture: 1.8%

These figures are based on estimates from 2017. 

In the first quarter of 2024, the sectoral contributions to GDP were:
• Public Administration and Defense: 17.4%
• Mining and Quarrying: 12.5

India is an emerging economy, botswana is a developing economy. Your mistake was choosing Botswana and not SA😂

Being small doesn’t mean you can be an industrial powerhouse. You know nothing. The Netherlands and Taiwan that produce like most of the semiconductor chips we use today say otherwise😂

Botswana is just like Nigeria. It doesn’t create or innovate. It just sells what’s underneath its foot. What a successful country 😂😂😂 that doesn’t even create anything

"Being small doesn’t mean you can be an industrial powerhouse. You know nothing. The Netherlands and Taiwan that produce like most of the semiconductor chips we use today say otherwise"

That's why i said many, not all..

"Botswana is by definition not an industrialised country."

This is true, it says that in basically most general analytical articles about Industrialization and Botswana, i do agree with you here... But do you want to know something else, most general analytical articles also deem Botswana by definition a successful Nation🤷🤷🤷.. You bringing your own criteria of them majorly growing their economy through a different way is dumb, because that different way is still very valid, else it wouldn't do the job. You then crying that it's this way and not that way is your own f*cking business, they're being successful by taking their own path, if you don't like the path, that is your own business. It doesn't stop the path from being valid... Nigeria being stupid enough not to take the advantage of the Oil and Gas due to extreme corruption is Nigeria being stupid; by the way, Botswana is also considered the 3rd least corrupt African country.

India by the way is a developing economy, a developing country, and a low-middle income country😂😂😂, this are things not hard to verify.

Because it’s an important metric to use when assessing the health of a nation. If you want to believe wveybing some analyst say. Sure go for it 😂 but you won’t fool me

No because your pride got to you. You didn’t want to admit that blacks have yet to build a successful community. You’re trying to argue that a community where thousands if not millions have never seen electricity as successful, a country that produces nothing is so irrelevant to the global economy that’s it’s not even a fart and is not an industrialised country as successful? 😂 it’s why I never took you seriously when comparing Botswana a country that produces and does NOTHING for the world to India. If Botswanna or Africa disappeared, the world would hardly notice. If indua did, I think there would be a global economic recession 😂😂

You clearly do. Just another delusional Afrocentrist. And why didn’t you respond to what I said about traffic fatality rate? Why because you can’t find a way to undermine it?😂😂 you didn’t respond to my statement that based on data, Nigerian roads are safer than Botswana.

Botswana is a shit hole. SA is, Zimbabwe too, Kenya, Namibia etc you name it. They are All shitholes. Just because they are better than Nigeria doesn’t mean they aren’t.It’s not many African countries that are shitholes. It’s almost all of them. The only African countries that aren’t shit holes are North African. With the exception of North Africa, Africa is a shithole. Nobody will care if Africa disappeared from the face of the earth. It’s not even up to 5% of global GDP😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Large population doesn’t necessarily mean a large presence. Why doesn’t Brazil have a large presence?😂😂 or Pakistan? I compared their potential to the west and as I said before, India is predicted to rival China at some point. I never even said India is superior to the west but that it has the potential to be. You compared to countries like Botswana that quite literally produce NOTHING. If the world had to choose which country to not eliminate India or Botswana? Which one do you they will pick? The irrelevant, small and backward ass country that lives on selling minerals to Western and Asian countries or the industrial powerhouse that’s like one of the biggest exporters on earth?😂 screw your Botswana 😂😂
It’s actually crazy because Botswana is not better neither in quality of life or geopolitics. I found it so hilarious when you tried to compare their intelligence but even you yourself knew that comparing black brains to Asian brains was like comparing a monkey to a human 😂😂 you backed down on that shit.

Nigeria is far more likely to balkanise than India and also you’re just a fool😂 you compared India to a country that is no match for it in no way, shape or form.

‘ I also know for a fact that most Analysts see Botswana as a successful Nation, making everything you've been saying pure delusion’

The success of nation can be both objective and subjective. Nothing would make me want to live in that primitive country known as Botswana or any sub Saharan African over India. Because they are all shitholes. And based on data, it is a shithole. Botswana is not moderniser and thus it is a shithole. How a nation that doesn’t even have constant electricity, a diversified economy is a success is crazy 😂. Everything they have in that country is foreign built or imported. China and other world powers built their infrastructure, all their technology is imported from somewhere worse😂😂 they don’t have any ‘success’ of their own. Their economy is also just mining out diamonds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your killin me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it’s not even a rich country. $7,500 GDP per capita. I did Google and it’s not actually considered country. How the hell can you be industrialised but your infrastructure and technology is that outdated? 😂 still running on 3G, bad roads, terrible buildings even still using things like firewood🤣🤣🤣

$7859 is looking a lot better than $2600.

Things like firewood?... Most Botswanans don't use Firewood, but do you want to know who do, Indians; a third of Indian Households still use firewood. Botswana and India have around the same road quality rating, India is higher though, i will give you that, but you just rank without even knowing things, the country switched from 3g a long time ago, another BS rant from you. Terrible Buildings?, how so?, do you have the stats. that says the buildings are terrible or is that just still you ranting?.

My guy has now backtracked on his rubbish😂😂Population size has nothing to do with Industrial development. Smaller countries can be more industrial than larger ones.

You can’t be successful when you can’t provide the basics😂 tell the 30% of Botswana people that never have seen electricity in their life that it is successful. Botswana is not modernised, no Subsaharan African country. They’re all primitive as Bleep. Growing an economy just by literally picking up diamonds and selling it to the highest bidder is not impressive😂😂 that’s not really growth. What an economy should be doing is creating value via creating its own goods and services. The difference is that I’m going by a definition and you’re going by what some analysts have said and you’re claiming it’s most 😂 and I couldn’t care less about what analysts have said. I could create an article that Nigeria is a successful country 😂😂

An industrialised country is one that has reached a high level of economic development, largely driven by industrialization and advanced technological infrastructure.

Botswana is definitely not one. Their economy is centred around mining and tourism.

When the Botswana economy grows its because they’ve stacked up more diamonds from the ground 😂😂 or deceived people to visit their country. When the Indian economy grows, there is a growth in in the production of finished goods. Made in Africa is not really a thing AT ALL. Made in India definitely is though

Though i still doubt that you're Igbo, or even Nigerian, because that topic specifically says North and South divide, even though an Igbo will usually say Biafra divide’

Nigeria is far more likely to balkanise than India and also you’re just a fool😂 you compared India to a country that is no match for it in no way, shape or form.

‘ I also know for a fact that most Analysts see Botswana as a successful Nation, making everything you've been saying pure delusion’

The success of nation can be both objective and subjective. Nothing would make me want to live in that primitive country known as Botswana or any sub Saharan African over India. Because they are all shitholes. And based on data, it is a shithole. Botswana is not moderniser and thus it is a shithole. How a nation that doesn’t even have constant electricity, a diversified economy is a success is crazy 😂. Everything they have in that country is foreign built or imported. China and other world powers built their infrastructure, all their technology is imported from somewhere worse😂😂 they don’t have any ‘success’ of their own. Their economy is also just mining out diamonds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your killin me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it’s not even a rich country. $7,500 GDP per capita. I did Google and it’s not actually considered country. How the hell can you be industrialised but your infrastructure and technology is that outdated? 😂 still running on 3G, bad roads, terrible buildings even still using things like firewood🤣🤣🤣

"Nothing would make me want to live in that primitive country known as Botswana or any sub Saharan African over India".

Oh, i was wrong, you're an Indian... This says it all. Well, if you don't want to live, who cares; nothing will make me ever want to live in India, that's like leaving the fire and entering the frying pan... Nothing in my life has ever made me think "Move to India", i'm actually sane.

Derekmiles:
$7859 is looking a lot better than $2600.

Things like firewood?... Most Botswanans don't use Firewood, but do you want to know who do, Indians; a third of Indian Households still use firewood. Botswana and India have around the same road quality rating, India is higher though, i will give you that, but you just rank without even knowing things, the country switched from 3g a long time ago, another BS rant from you. Terrible Buildings?, how so?, do you have the stats. that says the buildings are terrible or is that just still you ranting?.

You didn’t even address that Nigeria has better roads than Botswana. Nigeria’s traffic fatality rate is not as high botswanna but obviously way higher than India. That means Nigeria is safer to drive in which is crazy 😂😂 and you called Nigeria a shithole (which is obviously true) yet a Nigerian is safer on their roads than someone from Botswana

Here are the negatives of Botswana’s infrastructure:

1. Energy Supply and Load Shedding:
• Power shortages and load shedding are common, primarily due to Botswana’s reliance on imported energy, particularly from neighboring countries. This disrupts business operations and daily life.
• The country struggles with ensuring consistent and reliable electricity supply to all areas, particularly in rural regions.

2. Limited Public Transportation:
• Botswana lacks an extensive public transportation system. Most urban and rural residents rely on private vehicles, taxis, or limited bus services. This leads to traffic congestion in cities and challenges for those who do not own cars.
• Public transit options are not well-developed, especially outside major urban areas like Gaborone.

3. Road Infrastructure in Rural Areas:
• While major highways and urban roads are relatively good, rural roads are often poorly maintained or unpaved, which makes access to more remote areas difficult. This can be particularly challenging during the rainy season.
• Some areas remain isolated due to inadequate road infrastructure, making it difficult to reach health, education, and other services.

4. Water Scarcity:
• Despite significant improvements, Botswana’s arid climate poses a persistent challenge in ensuring adequate water supply for both urban and rural populations.
• Water scarcity affects both domestic and agricultural activities, and Botswana relies heavily on water imports or underground sources.

5. Limited Digital and Internet Connectivity:
• While Botswana’s telecommunications infrastructure is more advanced than many African nations, internet penetration is still lower than in some other African countries like South Africa and Kenya.
• Rural areas face challenges in internet access, and broadband speeds are often slower compared to global standards.
• Internet and mobile data can be expensive, limiting accessibility for low-income households.

6. Limited Industrial Development:
• Botswana remains a resource-dependent economy, heavily reliant on the mining sector, particularly diamonds. This leaves the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices and limits the scope for industrial infrastructure development.
• The manufacturing sector remains underdeveloped, limiting economic diversification and innovation in infrastructure.

7. Health Infrastructure:
• While there is some progress in healthcare access, Botswana’s health infrastructure still faces challenges, particularly in rural areas where access to health services is limited.
• The quality of healthcare can vary significantly, with some rural areas facing shortages of medical personnel, equipment, and facilities.

8. Urbanization Strains:
• As urbanization increases, major cities like Gaborone struggle with congestion and overcrowding. There are also concerns about housing shortages and the need for better urban planning.
• The lack of affordable housing in urban areas has led to the growth of informal settlements.

9. Air Transport Limitations:
• While Botswana has some international airports, the aviation network is limited compared to larger economies. Air connectivity to international destinations is less frequent, particularly in remote areas.
• Limited domestic flight options may also make it challenging for residents to travel easily across the country.

10. Dependence on Imports:
• Botswana depends heavily on imports for many goods, including food, energy, and technology. This dependence limits the growth of local industries and the development of a self-sustaining infrastructure.

11. Environmental Vulnerability:
• Due to Botswana’s arid climate, the country faces additional challenges such as desertification and water management. These environmental factors exacerbate the difficulty of sustaining infrastructure in certain areas.

12. Limited Technological Innovation:
• While Botswana is progressing in terms of technology, it is still behind more industrialized countries in areas like digital innovation, technology adoption, and the development of high-tech industries.
• The lack of strong research and development initiatives and innovation hubs limits the country’s ability to lead in tech-related sectors

‘That's why i said many, not all..’

My guy has now backtracked on his rubbish😂😂Population size has nothing to do with Industrial development. Smaller countries can be more industrial than larger ones.

‘This is true, it says that in basically most general analytical articles about Industrialization and Botswana, i do agree with you here... But do you want to know something else, most general analytical articles also deem Botswana by definition a successful Nation🤷🤷🤷.. You bringing your own criteria of them majorly growing their economy through a different way is dumb, because that different way is still very valid, else it wouldn't do the job. You then crying that it's this way and not that way is your own f*cking business, they're being successful by taking their own path, if you don't like the path, that is your own business. It doesn't stop the path from being valid.’

You can’t be successful when you can’t provide the basics😂 tell the 30% of Botswana people that never have seen electricity in their life that it is successful. Botswana is not modernised, no Subsaharan African country. They’re all primitive as Bleep. Growing an economy just by literally picking up diamonds and selling it to the highest bidder is not impressive😂😂 that’s not really growth. What an economy should be doing is creating value via creating its own goods and services. The difference is that I’m going by a definition and you’re going by what some analysts have said and you’re claiming it’s most 😂 and I couldn’t care less about what analysts have said. I could create an article that Nigeria is a successful country 😂😂

An industrialised country is one that has reached a high level of economic development, largely driven by industrialization and advanced technological infrastructure.

Botswana is definitely not one. Their economy is centred around mining and tourism.

When the Botswana economy grows its because they’ve stacked up more diamonds from the ground 😂😂 or deceived people to visit their country. When the Indian economy grows, there is a growth in in the production of finished goods. Made in Africa is not really a thing AT ALL. Made in India definitely is though

Actually didn't backtrack, unlike you, i don't lie🤷🤷🤷😂😂😂.

😂😂😂, and dude overlooks India's;

* Almost half the population lack access to proper healthcare

* Internet access is basically crap per capita.

* Low wage structure

* Decently high illiteracy rate

* Rape

* Serious Loadshedding issues

* Child Labour

* Defecation issues partly due to culture, and you talk about Primitive.

* Genital Mutilation.

These are just to name a few.

Derekmiles:
Huh, Traffic fatality rate is not even the criteria for roads, it's Road quality index🤷🤷🤷.

So how is that people in Zoogeria are less likely to die on the roads than Nigerians? Google the traffic fatality rate, it’s 11 per 100k in India,20 per 100k in Nigeria and 26 per 100k in Botswana😂😂😂

How can a successful country have roads that dangerous? More than dangerous than Nigeria and here I was thinking Nigerian roads were the most dangerous on earth😂😂

And the road quality index is just a survey. Botswana roads are hardly any better than Nigeria.

You ranted about how Botswana was primitive because it used Firewoods, and Indians use way more😂😂😂, one third of the population is wild, i don't even think Nigeria reaches that levels.

You ranted about how Botswanans have mediocre Internet connection... Yea, from the Country that has None for 50% of it's population😂😂😂.

You ranted about how defecation made Africa primitive; India are the kings of that. Botswana doesn't even have a defecation problem😂😂😂.

You ranted about how 30% of Botswanans don't have access to Electricity. This i will give to you, but you then deflect when ever the serious Indian Loadshedding issues come up, claiming it's the same as the West😂😂😂. Delusion.

You talked about being primitive due to genital Mutilation, India literally has an entire Wikipedia page on that dedicated to them.

There are so many primitiveness in the country you glorify😂😂😂.

I’ve already debunked all this

Botswanna where 30% of its population has never seen electricity? Every country has loadshedding😂😂

And why are you talking about literacy rate? As If Indians and Chinese don’t boss classrooms not just in their homeland but globally 😂😂 Asians are smarter than whites. Asian vs black intelligence is not a competition😂

Botswana generally has a higher violent crime rate. Here’s the comparison:

Botswana:
• Murder rate: Approximately 11.7 per 100,000 people (UNODC, 2020).
• Violent crime, including assaults and armed robberies, is relatively common.
• Issues like gender-based violence and crimes related to alcohol abuse contribute significantly to the overall violent crime rate.

India:
• Murder rate: Approximately 2.4 per 100,000 people (UNODC, 2020).
• Despite its lower per capita violent crime rate, India experiences a high absolute number of violent crimes due to its population of over 1.4 billion.
• Crimes like domestic violence, sexual assaults, and mob violence are prevalent but often underreported

Botswana violent crime is 6x that of India. Botswana’s violent crime rate is almost 2x higher than the US. India is safer than Botswana and USA. I

😂😂😂, dude said surveys, it's an analytical survey you idiot.

At least read the methodology, what do business executives know about road quality? A scientific comparison would show that Botswana roads are weak and not durable

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) road quality methodology comes from its Global Competitiveness Report, where road quality is assessed as part of broader infrastructure evaluations. Here’s an overview of how the WEF collects and evaluates this data:

1. Data Collection Methodology

The WEF road quality score is primarily perception-based and derived from surveys conducted with business executives in the surveyed countries.
• Survey Question: Respondents are asked to rate the quality of road infrastructure in their country on a scale of 1 to 7, where:
• 1 = extremely poor, comparable to underdeveloped infrastructure.
• 7 = extremely good, among the best in the world.
• This subjective data is combined with other infrastructure indicators where available.

2. Evaluation Criteria

The survey and resulting score consider factors such as:
• Surface conditions: Potholes, cracks, and smoothness of roads.
• Road network coverage: Accessibility and reach of paved roads across the country.
• Road maintenance: Frequency and quality of repairs and upkeep.
• Highway systems: Presence of modern, multi-lane highways.

3. Limitations
• Subjective Bias: The methodology relies heavily on the opinions of business executives, which can be influenced by personal experience, regional disparities, or economic priorities.
• Non-technical Assessment: It does not include technical evaluations such as material quality, structural durability, or engineering standards.
• Country Comparisons: Scores can reflect perceptions rather than actual road performance, making cross-country comparisons potentially misleading.

4. Strengths
• Business Insight: It captures the perspective of individuals directly impacted by road quality, such as those in logistics, trade, and business development.
• Consistency: The methodology provides a consistent framework across countries.

5. Why Use WEF Data?

The WEF data offers a broad snapshot of road quality across nations, even if not entirely technical. For countries with limited access to engineering-based evaluations, this perception-based assessment serves as a useful proxy.

For a more scientific and technical analysis, studies using engineering metrics (like those from transportation ministries or global infrastructure organizations) would be needed to complement or challenge the WEF rankings.

Sladem05:
You did, yes a resource based economy is a lazier economy. It doesn’t create anything 😂

😂😂😂, I literally didn't, even when the evidence is shown, you still lie😂😂😂. I said "many" from the get go... And how they create their success doesn't change them from being deemed successful by most analysis, sulk on that😂😂😂. The analysts you love so much and shout their projections, you can no longer support them right?😂😂, they are the devils now.

Even fellow Indians attacked😂😂😂. I told you, what you are saying is very different from reality, you can bring in your future projections, and that's fine, i wish India all the best on that... But as of now and right now, the analysts calls Botswana a successful Nation, and the world sees India as a shithole, and it's especially sweet because Indians are very delusional; Cry all you want😭😭😭, rant all you want, this are the facts of the world we live in today.

At least a lot of Countries in Africa, we know we are a shithole, and any insults is basically "Alright, do you have anything better?"😂😂😂... But Indians are oblivious that the entire world sees them as shit😂😂😂.

One user said all they do is constantly illegally flock to Asean Nations😂😂😂. Someone should tell that lady that it's everywhere they go to illegally, even the crap Africa that they don't like😂😂😂...

Imagine illegally mass migrating to every corners of the world, and still thinking "India is not a shithole", nobody outside of you and delusional Indians think that, even my Friends from that region don't think that😂😂😂. The average Indian is talking about how they will use any means to leave the country, if the country was so good, why don't they stay😂😂😂; Nobody flocks out of a developed country en masse, especially illegally, even Mini "Crap" Botswanans as you protray them proves this, and their country isn't even considered developed yet, it's just considered a Upper-Middle Income Successful Nation still firmly on the path to extreme success.

😂😂😂, I literally didn't, even when the evidence is shown, you still lie😂😂😂. I said "many" from the get go... And how they create their success doesn't change them from being deemed successful by most analysis, sulk on that😂😂😂. The analysts you love so much and shout their projections, you can no longer support them right?😂😂, they are the devils now.

You literally did and it’s not just many ALL OF THEM. Botswana hasn’t created success. A resourced based economy is going to fail 😂 because it’s not made from their intellect. It’s just selling natural resources to the highest bidder. And how you determine success varies because Botswana and Africa is so irrelevant on the geopolitical scale. Indian’s GDP is larger than all of Africa.

An analyst projections is based on empirical information. It’s mathematical. A analyst’s view on whether or not a country is successful can be subjective. You’re comparing two completely different things.

Then let it fail first, it hasn't failed yet, it hasn't failed since the "60s... If they fail should be non of your beeswax; that is projecting your criterias because most doesn't agree with you; analysts say it's a successful Nation, that's what it is... And a country being considered a successful Nation by most analysts goes way beyond being subjective, that is you projecting more😂😂😂! no analysts just speaks without some analytical concept... Botswana is successful, the definition of what's successful by analysts is more valid than some Nairaland user, sulk on that bitch😂😂😂.

And the dude that was mocked still talked about GDP, they laughed him to oblivion with the per Capita... Imagine masking a GDP when there are 1.4 Billion people within that GDP😂😂😂.

Derekmiles:
Even fellow Indians attacked😂😂😂. I told you, what you are saying is very different from reality, you can bring in your future projections, and that's fine, i wish India all the best on that... But as of now and right now, the analysts calls Botswana a successful Nation, and the world sees India as a shithole, and it's especially sweet because Indians are very delusional; Cry all you want😭😭😭, rant all you want, this are the facts of the world we live in today.

At least a lot of Countries in Africa, we know we are a shithole, and any insults is basically "Alright, do you have anything better?"😂😂😂... But Indians are oblivious that the entire world sees them as shit😂😂😂.

I’m not ranting and India is nowhere as violent as Africa. The analyst that said that botswanna a country that doesn’t even have constant electricity is a success is a joke 😂 Africans are even more delusional. You think you are on par with the rest of the world. Not even close, the rest of the world is mighty years ahead of Africa.

‘At least a lot of Countries in Africa, we know we are a shithole, and any insults is basically "Alright, do you have anything better?"😂😂😂... But Indians are oblivious that the entire world sees them as shit😂😂😂’

So how do you think the world views Africa? They view it as an impoverished, backward wasteland. A stereotype about Africa is that it is poor. All African countries are seen as shitholes 😂

On the way to EXTREME success? You can’t build an economy if it’s just centred around natural resources. How will they achieve that success? You call a GDP of $18 billion impressive?😂😂 no innovation, no industrial production. It’s just extracting minerals from the ground and selling them. What a joke. It produces nothing of value. I told you that if Botswana or even Africa as a whole disappeared that it won’t be noticed 😂😂it’s so irrelevant as a country.

As if there aren’t Botswanans and other Africans don’t flock out to other countries too 😂
China is a shithole according to your analysis. China diaspora is 30 million and Indian diaspora is 32 million. This is why I told you reason like a deluded FBA. Just because people immigrate out of a country doesn’t mean it’s a shithole and that they are necessarily fleeing. I myself have met people in western countries that tell me as to how badly they want to leave. Yet does that means it’s a shithole?😂😂
Your criteria for a shithile country is an absolute joke.

I never said that India is a paradise but that botswana is a shithole. Of all the African countries, why on earth would it be botswana that someone would want to live?😂😂

The average Indian is talking about leaving? India wouldn’t have 1.5 billion people if that were the case. You don’t know what your saying 😂

Botswana economy is not sustainable. You can’t have an economy that quite literally just draws things from the ground.

A economy is a system by which goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed within a society or geographic region. It encompasses all activities related to the management of resources, trade, labor, and wealth. There is no production going on in the Botswana economy or innovation 😂 and India is one of the top exporters and innovators of the world 😂😂

A GDP of 18 Billion to 2.5 Million people is way more impressive than a GDP of 3+ Trillion to 1.4 Billion people😂😂😂... It's not even close... And it's 21 Billion, stop reducing.

😂😂😂, the projections of Chinese illegally migrating has been getting way lower for years than Indians, Indians illegally migrate everywhere😂😂😂... It does matter, there is no shit you will say on this earth that will convince people that mass illegally migrating doesn't have some view significance on the country they're illegally migrating from.

You are done, reality speaks completely different from your delusions.

Diamond is a very valuable natural resource product that's traded... Product goes way beyond man made😂😂😂... Cry louder😭😭😭, your projecting criteria doesn't click to the real world😂😂😂.

Derekmiles:
I remember this comment section from a while back, this is were the Indian delusion gets you, bullied to the point the dude deleted his comments... I never once denied that many African Nations are sh*tholes, few Countries like Botswana though are not😂😂😂. The same can't be said about how the world views India, Capital country of Shitholesery😂😂😂.

My guy is still saying many. all African nations are shitholes. Your mistake was thinking that Africa is comparable to the rest of the world. It is not. You think I care about a comment section? I’ll expose your Botswana. One of them even said we are LAZY and irresponsible. Even a Botswanan agreed with me that’s it’s a lazy country. They produce NOTHING. What is their export. Diamonds they picked from the ground?😂😂😂😂

Projecting again i see😂😂😂... If they say they are lazy and irresponsible, then that's their view, not the view of analysts; most countries think they need to be doing better😂😂😂... The view of the world on Indias is "Shithole", the view of analysts on Botswana is Success.

You don’t produce it, you pick it from the ground. That’s why I told you that Botswana is irrelevant😂😂. The world wouldn’t notice if Botswana disappeared.
There is nothing impressive about selling something on the ground. It’s not mentally challenging😂😂

A resource-based economy is often seen as a joke because it puts all its eggs in one basket. Relying too much on things like oil, minerals, or diamonds means the entire economy can crash if prices drop. Plus, it stunts growth in other areas like tech or manufacturing, leaving countries stuck with outdated industries. It’s like living paycheck to paycheck instead of building long-term wealth—it works for now, but it’s not a smart way to plan for the future. When those resources have depleted. What happens next? You have to use your brain. Not what is under neath your foot. But I get it, intelligence is something that doesn’t really exist in Africa.

Diamond is a product, your view on what a product is, is completely sh*t😂😂😂... Any item that is valuable to a buyer is a product to that buyer.

Then when it doesn't work, talk... It has worked for generations, your criteria won't change that.
