If you no believe am, ask why many of our car dealers dey use Benin port take ship cars into Nigeria, bypassing the ports of the "economic powerhouse" Nigeria??

That is because of high tax in Nigeria ports for used cars. and the fact that Nigeria government doesn't allow Nigeria to be the dumping ground for used cars, atleast to allow car manufacturing or assembling companies in Nigeria have enough market for their product, we actually have quite a good number of them in the country.
Imagine If Nigeria allows used cars to be dumped in Nigeria like Benin is doing, you won't even know a country country called Benin Republic

Local flights within Nigeria now cost more than flights from London to Paris.

Kidnapping is the order of the day. Alot of us here cannot travel home this Christmas because of insecurity.

But sure, we're 250 million people. The biggest population in Africa 🤣

Are you really serious their economies are better than ours?
Of what use is electricity if production and manufacturing is low. Just for household usage? to watch tvs and switch on lights?
Have you checked out Nigeria stock market capitalization? that is a pointer to which economy is more robust, has more jobs and companies.
Nigeria market cap is bigger than all 14 countries in ecowas.....I REPEAT BIGGER THAN THE WHOLEEEEE 14 COUNTRIES IN WEST AFRICA
That means if you are looking for a job.....you have a higher chance of getting it in Nigeria
If you want to set up business....you have a higher chance of market share and selling in Nigeria than the whole 14/15 ecowas countries combined.
There are more companies in Nigeria than the whole 14 countries in ecowas combined.
BRVM is a regional stock market headquartered in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. It was founded in 1996 and it serves in Niger, Mali, Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Cote D’Ivoire, Togo, Senegal, and Guinea Bissau. - This is the total 8 frech countries in west africa with $13b market cap + ghana $6b = $19b. The other countries not listed are highly negligible. Nothing tangible running in those countries.
Which means Nigeria's economy is twice as big as the whole of west african countries.
We may not like Nigeria or how it is been run but we have to appreciate her where it is due.
Bros,

No mind young Nigerians. To us, every other country in Africa is good, even though some haven't actually lived in those countries. Yes, Nigeria has its issues - big big ones - but when analysed and compared amongst other Black countries, we are much better off. Those countries are Tarabas, Kebbis and Yobes. The major issue we have is our incompetent elites in tackling insecurity and toxic/religious politics.

Also, as I have written in my diary, when one spends too much time on TwitterNG and follows certain handles, one begins to pick up anti-Nigerian vibes. Untarred roads is a West African issue, just as open gutters. The other day, Moe, a popular Twitter personality, showed the picture of an elite area in Cotonou only to tag it "a random place". How can the Maitama of Cotonou be a random place? How many ordinary Beninese can live there? Not long ago, my friend in Canada, who is chatting with a babe in Freetown, Sierra Leone, told me their currency is stronger than the naira; thus, Sierra Leoneans are living better than Nigerians! I wan craze! I had to do a long VN explaining basic economics to this dude and why having a strong currency isn't a good thing.

Also, there is no way Sierra Leone is better off than Nigeria till thy kingdom come, and certainly not because the currency is strong. Dem fit find work for there? What is the purchasing power of the average Sierra Leonean? This extends to everywhere in the sub-region. For one, I don't consider Mauritania to be a country, just as Somalia. Tensa20 said women in those countries should remove their wombs as nothing good fit comot from there. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Nigeria has its issues, and I will continue talking about them, but we are better off than every country in West Africa, and this is till thy kingdom come. Only Kenya and South Africa should be mentioned alongside Nigeria. The rest of the continent are just mini Oguns, Akwa Iboms, Kogis, Enugus, Bauchis etc.

LordAdam16:
for the first time since the end of the 12D war, i can assert that iran's odds are at least 50% in any rematch

it can only go higher from here
i hope they do not become complacent
LordAdam16:
further to this:
sometime over the past two weeks, israeli and allied jets had been breaching iraqi airspace and buzzing the iraq-iran border
earlier today, iran's twin air forces dispatched 60 jets to iraqi airspace
these are of course aged frames but it is a signal of intent that after deliveries of advanced jets in a couple of months, iraq will become a contested airspace in any future war
update

israeli media - yedioth ahronoth - is reporting that satanyahu begged several western emissaries to give iran assurances that isreal has no interest in an armed confrontation

apparently, after he begged putin to relay the same message, he expected iranian security posture to change
but iran doubled down

curiously, iran told the western emissaries that persia does not care for any assurances involving israel
iran considers any such assurance to be deceptive, has resolved that a rematch is inevitable, and is preparing accordingly




the main reason why satanyahu is fretting about a 2.0

is that iran has set a conservative target of firing 2,000 missiles in its initial salvo
that will require at least 6000 AD interceptors to down at the standard 3:1 ratio
the US currently has only 25% of Patriot interceptors it needs for its military plans

combined with worrying instances of iranian intelligence deeply infiltrating israel
it is now assumed that anyone and anything of note above ground could potentially be taken out
there are simply not enough interceptors. nor do they have the technology to intercept the newer gen missiles

there are also concerns about how venezuela impacts america's readiness to offer unlimited support
what happens if iran launches a sneak attack just as the us commits to a venezuelan invasion that sees venezuela hitting the us mainland
interceptor deliveries and replenishments will drastically drop if miami is on fire
giving iran ample time to secure very painful concessions from the genocidal warts to end the war

on top of all of these, iran is enjoying peak, limitless support from the axis after the 12D war
and both china and russia are growing their strategic stockpile at shocking rates




someday they will be whistling in tel aviv and the sirens will suddenly start blaring
dot on a map get mind start generational feud with an ancient civilization
if dem like, they should ask aliens to beg the persians
it will fall on deaf ears

-Lord

That babe lied to your friend.

Sierra Leone has one of the weakest currency in Africa.

1 USD = 22,000 of their money

1000 Naira = 15,000 of their money.

Only CFAs and Cedis is stronger than Naira.
