Nonexisting1:Hope you know China deliberately lowered the value of their currency and that, they used USA currency to measure the value of those companies. Here is the way nations ranked economically.

[color=#000099][/color] Smartwave:For him to complain shows his love for this country! If everyone should call a spade a spade these our politicians will amend their ways. Imagine in the top 20 of billion companies in the world no African country! We Africans have every resources to outshine them but our politicians prefer to store our money in the white man's country. White man will still use the money to develop his country. This is the only reason why I support regional government. Every region will elect who will oversee their region. The likes of Awolowo, Zik and Amadu Bello of our time will miraculous emanate because no people will like to carry last. |

helinues:A couple of questions for you, my good sir: 1. How did the churches become far more successful than other sectors?!! 2. What is the formula of massive growth of these religious houses, and why are other sectors and businesses not learning from or copying them to make the nation greater than this?!! 3. Have the churches ever been partnered with or invited to steer the nation towards the same growth they are experiencing?!! 4. What is stopping the government from tailoring their leadership after the pattern of the churches?!! |

Angelfrost:Conformity to societal norm is what gave the religions upper hand over the industrial sector. The pastors have their big clients paying regularly, they can never advise those ones to be coming to 3 night vigils in a week, but those who are still struggling must be added to the number of congregation for the night vigils People mostly remember God when they are in trouble, and as trouble is always around, the pastors are taking advantage of that |

Fiscus105:Still not measuring up at all. For me to be threatening to slap you, I should at least be measuring up to you or be taller than you. China is still a bingo when compared to the US that is a Rottweiler so they should be calming down. |

Haydens:Those are private companies not government owned. Where is the one you built in Nigeria? Where is the one your family built. Ohh again you feel it is the responsibility of other people to do the things that will develop the country. Typical Nigerian, never taking responsibility. Always looking to blame everybody else.... Almost every young Nigerian is looking for jobs, nobody is creating any Jobs aside POS, the youths won't think outside the box. But the Government is the problem. Is the government the reason why you people can't think and be creative to start something? I saw a yahoo boy at Novare mall at night in a N450m 2024 Mercedes Benz GLS truck, that boy lost probably has nothing doing aside fraud, he and his friends came to pick up prostitutes. You claim the government is not giving you money to start up but you spend N450m on a car, tell me why the government should give loans to youths who would be jobless and buy an iphone 16.... |

Let me join your interesting conversation: 1. Cash is king and it is all about numbers. The churches started with excellent prosperity messages learning from American pastorpreneurs. The traditional church standards when it comes to money was lowered e.g. people no longer have any issue using their position in government to steal as long as they donate handsomely to the church. The financial frontier expanded considerably beyond "widow's mite" from poor church goers. This eventually led to the churches having endless cash flow. 2. The formula is similar to MMM. A promise of prioritizing the church whenever there is some cash to spend with the hope of reaping thousands-fold in return. Tithing and the Book of Malachi helped a lot with the marketing strategy. Some pastors even formed exclusive partners club for church investors. Everyone smiles to the bank except for the floor members, who are kept in check by getting randomly picked for favors to generate more marketing testimonies and encourage commitment. 3. The church and the biggest looters of Nigerian funds, the senior civil servants, are huge partners in-crime (sorry, in progress). Who actually benefits between the partners and the Nigerian system is subject to debate. The churches have endless flow of cash and they build universities, estates, banks etc. 4. Political leadership is a totally different ballgame from church leadership. Quoting relevant Bible verses can easily solve most problems in the church, that won't fly with Kaduna or Kano political mafia and they have their hands firmly on the pot too. Angelfrost: |

SlavaUkraini:Russia is a third world country for real. I have lived very close to Russia and I can tell you for free that Russians are suffering, only few that are close to the government and oligarchs are enjoying, the rest are suffering like Africans. Their young women troop to neighboring countries to do hookup for survival |

Just imaging what USA could do if they have the population like China and India! |

Love800:Search for the current GDP and Foreign Reserve of India. Also check the GDP per capital and population of India. Then calculate the ratio and tell me if India is a poor or rich country. |

Nonexisting1:oga number of companies does not determine the size of your economy, china's economy is bigger than all the countries except the USA, besides company valuation is mostly based on the price of their shares in the stock exchange, a company may not own up to 50 million dollars in asset yet it's valuation may be in billions of dollars. |
| Re: Countries With The Highest Number Of Billion Dollar Companies by KaLuCh: 3:34pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
Angelfrost:India is overpopulated, that's the country's problem. They need as many as 1000 billion dollar companies to suffice. UK has fewer billion dollar companies than India yet light years ahead of them economically but that's really because of population. Same thing with China. Those two countries combined are 2 billion+ in population, hence those hundreds of billion dollar companies are not nearly enough and that's why they are everywhere. People overestimate China. But China is really just a shop for cheap labour to USA and Europe. The country isn't as rich as NL Russian supporters wish, they dont understand the reason China plays 'now you see me and now you don't' when it comes to openly supporting their allies against USA and Europe. They know they are really a poor country if you factor in population and can't afford to upset this arrangement they have with the economic powers of the world. America is a league on its own. Its laughable to see people putting Russia next to the USA. If Biden or the Dems had won the last election, US would have funded Ukraine for as long as it takes for Russia to completely run out of war funds. |

Haydens:How many African countries do you see in the list. Abeg, you cannot compare African countries with the developed nations. Even Brazil and Russia no show. Abi you want to compare Russia with Nigeria. |

helinues:Great points Sir... But, you did not answer the questions posed. The Church or churches in Nigeria are not isolated in their growth and success... This is actually universal. In the centuries past, orthodox churches like Catholic were heavily influential in kingship and leadership... This is even Biblical! The church is not growing merely by appealing to emotions... Nope! They are actually perfecting an agelong blueprint of welfarism and people development. It's not all manipulative tactics with no actual substance. If leaders in all parts of the country, starting from the President, actually start doing the needful in all sectors, don't you think the nation would be on a better trajectory?!! |

Fiscus105:You dont just wake up and lower or increase the value of your currency. There are a lot that contributes to it. So don't yarn that batcrap about China deliberately lowering their currency. Makes no differency whatsoever. You can peg it as high as you want, what matters is the purchasing power in a market dominated by the dollar. The ranking is as valid as anything regardless of how you value your currency. There are currencies much higher than the dollar and you cant find any of their companies here. So it is not about the value of your currency, it is about the value of your company. A company worth 800 million pounds in the UK will make the list because 800 million pounds is over a billion dollars. But a company worth 400 millions pounds won't make it. So the value of pounds doesn't have anything to do with the number of companies in the list. |

SlavaUkraini:Oh, I know the answer to this one. Thatโs because a company with a market capitalization in the region of a billion USD immediately gets nationalized. Heck, even making significant in-roads in the private sector instantly earns you the watchful eyes and greedy fingers of the government |
| Re: Countries With The Highest Number Of Billion Dollar Companies by KaLuCh: 3:47pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
franchasng:I keep trying to tell these NL armchair Russian fanatics the same thing. I live in Europe, I know firsthand that Russia is a third world country ruled by maniacs who are more interested in stockpiling useless weapons than improving the lives of their citizens. The ruling class of Russia is the same as Nigeria's. Even worse. They just want the whole country to turn into soldiers of the country. |
| Re: Countries With The Highest Number Of Billion Dollar Companies by Angelfrost(m): 3:47pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
KaLuCh:This is absolutely true...! |
| Re: Countries With The Highest Number Of Billion Dollar Companies by KaLuCh: 3:50pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
jdrezp:I swear. The Oligarchs own everything worth anything in Russia. You stand a better chance moving to America as Russian if you have an innovative idea. |
| Re: Countries With The Highest Number Of Billion Dollar Companies by Angelfrost(m): 3:56pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
Shikena:Thank you so much for these insightful responses...! Quite enlightening. I am not unmindful of the shortfalls and rot within the church system across the universe (not just Nigeria). However, the leadership of the church are doing things differently... They have an approach to leadership that is worth emulating. My point is... We can't keep excusing the shameful, stagnant and backward state of the nation due to the religious nature of citizens who are not directly in charge of leading the nation or handling the funds of the country. |
