CONGO is the no1 country with the most valuable resources of 21st century.

In Africa but Russia USA and China have more resources than them

Africa doesn't make use of there natural resources, we are more blessed than other continent, you have natural resources, it's lie fallowing in the ground, countries that make it useful were those in the list.

This is obviously a shitty list, why do they all run to Africa for natural resources if it's in abundance over there?

Not true. This is propaganda. What is up there is factual.

Yankee101:
Don’t let the divided maps confuse you. Africa is the most resource rich continent in the world but is divided into smaller nations along colonial lines

Russia is even more than what is up there. Most Russia billionaires are mineral billionaires. Iran is also formidable despite crippling sanctions. Underestimate them at your peril.

The manipulative compilation by the whites to make others look unimportant and as not being a formidable force on the table of discussion. Reason I support Traore of Burkina Faso on chasing all these animals away from African soil.

simple answer, lack of mechanized farming, educate yourself, idi amin of uganda sent white farmers away and gave the land to peasant uganda black farmers, result, decline in food production which ultimately led to food price inflation...let oyinbo people take over african farming ad see for yoursef

Interesting perspective.

Quick question: Why do you think Oyinbos did not settle in large numbers to carry our mechanised farming in Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, or Cameroon - the way they did in South Africa, Zimbabwe, or Uganda?

You must be a 🤡 clown currently their GDP(PPP) is the fourth largest in the World having overtaking Japan also according to IMF and World bank last year their GDP grew by 5%(2024) in 2023(4+%) due to idiotic sanctions by the West also they are currently the fastest growing economy in the world for comparison Chinese economy grew by 2+% last year (2024) you're using Idiotic Western stats from years past (2010s)

Sir what are you taking, it's clearly affecting you.
Here are the 10 biggest GDPs
United States (U.S) $30.340 trillion
2 China $19.530 trillion

E con be like say, the bigger the country,the bigger the natural resources. Most of those countries are in the top 5 biggest in d world by land mass.

I tot we are made to believe Africa has the most natural resources in the world. I really doubt this stat. Apart from oil,wat other resources does Iran have. Abeg na fake stat

Irag, Iran, venezuela and Saudi Arabia are small countries and they were listed among the top 10

VillageOracle00:
Why do most European still come to african for same resource

Do you see any of the European countries listed up there?

You are making a list of countries based on Nominal GDP while I made reference to GDP based on Purchasing Power Parity keep deceiving yourself

Also nominal GDP is quite a foolish method of analysing a nation's actual economic growth morever goods that are normally cheap in Russia and China including food,etc are expensive in the West

Why do you sanctions are not working on Russia and Iran?

So why did you quote me? You knew I was correct in my statement but you only wanted to make noise.
Now let me rephrase, Russia with all it's minerals has an economy smaller than Italy a country with almost no mineral resources and a smaller population.
And it's citizens have much lower living standards (HDI) than 55 other countries with less resources.

Finally when you use GDP Purchasing Power Parity (PPP):
This adjusts for differences in the cost of living between countries, so yes cost of living in Russian is very low compared to developed countries. But at the same time, the entire Russian economy is less productive than Canada, Italy or Japan. That is a shame.

Now a Mr Nobody on Nairaland will decide for the world that normal GDP is foolishness.
Nairaland has given everyone power to become a world class economist.

Congo DR ranks second after Russia

Only a brainwashed 🤡 like you actually thinks they have a less standard of living compared to the other countries the Reality is they have a better standard of living than many of the other countries you must have never even travelled to other regions of Nigeria talk less of travelling outside

The Reality is that in production in all aspects Russia is ahead of Japan but a brainwashed 🤡 like you is oblivious of that fact in Microelectronics,Space components for Rockets,etc

Lol, the facts are against you.
Let me give you a small example.
Russia has by far the biggest land area in the world and a super fertile land but at its best year, Russia is only the 11th biggest exporter of food.
Below is a list of some of the biggest companies in Japan. All are household names. You can compare them to the best of Russia.
Toyota Motor Corporation
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group
Sony Group Corporation
Hitachi, Ltd.
SoftBank Group Corp.
Mitsubishi Corporation
Nintendo Co., Ltd.
Honda Motor

I am sure your eyes have been opened to why the Russian economy is a joke when compared to a super power like Japan.

Now let's go down the list of leading exporters.
China: Approximately $3.42 trillion.​

United States: Approximately $1.86 trillion.​

Germany: Approximately $1.57 trillion.​

Japan: Approximately $766 billion.
Netherlands: Approximately $731.87 billion.​
South Korea: Approximately $645.05 billion.​
Italy: Approximately $629.09 billion.​
France: Approximately $598.51 billion.​
Hong Kong: Approximately $574.62 billion.
Mexico: Approximately $569.15 billion

Even a city state like Hong Kong is doing better than your Russia.

Russia is a perfect example of good for nothing.
Oga, your Russia is an upgraded Nigeria.

Please when was the last time anyone drove a car made in Russia.

Nigeria is not there

;Lol you're talking about Cars Russia has its own indigenous car brands like the modern Lada series,Moskvitch,etc true they're not as popular as Japanese car brands bit you 🧟 forgot to mention they're one of the few countries with an independent Microelectronics production brands like JSC Mikron,etc also they're leaders in Aerospace engineering including the world's leader in designing modern nuclear reactors like Rosatom also historically Russian car brands like Lada,Volga were not exported to Africa

Now let me use facts and figures to compare the 2 Nations (Russia vs Canada). Please pay attention, you have so much to learn from this my boy.

Canada’s economy outperforms Russia’s in terms of GDP per capita, a key indicator of productivity per person. As of 2023, Canada’s GDP per capita stands at approximately $55,800 USD, while Russia’s is around $14,055 USD (nominal figures adjusted for recent trends). Even when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), Canada’s figure is roughly $60,000 USD compared to Russia’s $39,800 USD. This gap reflects Canada’s ability to generate more value per individual, driven by a highly skilled workforce, advanced technology, and a diversified economy. Canada excels in sectors like natural resources (oil, timber, minerals), finance, and high-value manufacturing

Russia, by contrast, relies heavily on resource extraction, particularly oil and gas, which account for over 60% of its exports and a significant chunk of its GDP. Russia’s total GDP is $2.02 trillion USD versus Canada’s $2.24 trillion USD (2023 estimates). Labor productivity in Russia lags, with GDP per hour worked estimated at around $25 USD, compared to Canada’s $55 USD (OECD approximations).

With a population of 40 million against Russia’s 144 million, it achieves comparable total GDP with far fewer people, highlighting superior efficiency. Its business environment—ranked 23rd globally by the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index versus Russia’s 28th. Russia’s productivity gains, often tied to military-industrial growth (up 35% in wartime sectors since 2022), are narrow and unsustainable, with civilian sectors stagnating under 10% inflation and 21% interest rates as of late 2024.

Now, over to you, defend your motherland russia

A fool like you still thinks that Russia's economy is only tied to oil and gas forgetting they have their won independent Microelectronics production brand including being leaders in Aerospace engineering ,etc

Hecrax:

Lol. I actually schooled st. Petersburg. And you know what, after getting our degree in Russia, every single one of us began looking for a way out to better countries. Even Estinia was a better option. And this was many years before the present war when Russia was at its best.

The entire Russian nuclear industry and its Microelectronics production added together are less productive than Toyota in terms of revenue. The only russian companies you can compare to Toyota are maybe its oil and gas companies, period.

Hecrax:
A fool like you still thinks that Russia's economy is only tied to oil and gas forgetting they have their won independent Microelectronics production brand including being leaders in Aerospace engineering ,etc

Again when 60% of your russia exports are oil and gas, I wonder why you keep bringing up Microelectronics production and Aerospace engineering that account for very little in the Russian economy. Please, what percentage of the Russian economy is their Microelectronics production and Aerospace engineering?
