Actually apart from wailers that will bring this country down unless they are in power, there are some points here about how Nigerians impoverished Nigeria.

One of the worst was during Jonathan's Administration. We pinned so much hope on him because he was a highly educated man from Nigeria Delta. He got votes from North and South with so much Goodwill. Alas, he lost all the goodwill because of those in charge of his Administration. A very humble man became cocky calling his benefactor Motor Park tout.

Even worse they stole like crazy bragging about producing more billionaires like Dokunbo Asari while the place he from remains in environmental rot.

Do not forget that Western Region was First In Africa while most of the countries mentioned in Europe and Asia were jungles.

Lybia I love that country I Will luv to go there but I heard is not the same since khadafi death

traware:
So,in other words Libya is better than Nigeria?

Libya,a country where people see black people & cover their noses? Are placed in cages & sold?!

A literal warzone?

In the past in the Nigeria media space, it was standard of living in Ghana was better than Nigeria,today it is Libya's turn.


Nigerians,why do you lot HATE yourselves so much? This situation has become a national emergency

We need to do Better in fiscal governance and collective accountability. Look at how A presidential Aide disgraced himself on Al Jazeera. Such people can only gain prominence in a dysfunctional society.

USE YOUR HEAD.

When WHITE PEOPLE COLONISE WHITE PEOPLE, or colonise a country FOR white people, they don't rape and destroy the country. THEY BUILD IT UP.

Examples: USA, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia..

BLACK AFRICA WAS PLUNDERED TO THE TUNE OF $5,000 TRILLION, over the last 500 years according to AI ChatGPT.

FOR REPARATIONS, that's $400,000 owed to EVERY AFRICAN ALIVE TODAY, INCLUDING BABIES.

Nigeria alone was robbed of $50 TRILLION by Britain, according to AI.

So, KNOW YOUR HISTORY.

And the history of the whites you worship. NIGERIA WAS A BIG FAT BUSH WITH 5% LITERACY RATE IN 1960, DESPITE 80 YEARS OF BRITISH RULE AND EXPORT OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES..

In 65 yrs of independence, literacy rate has risen to 76% despite the population increasing five-fold since 1960.

In fact the only reason YOU can read and write is because BLACK PEOPLE came to power in NIGERIA and built thousands of public schools where previously there were just a handful of wretched ''missionary schools'' for a select few local elite.

Otherwise, you'd be an illiterate village peasant carrying firewood on your head right now, okay?

Madam oyinbo worshipper. Dey there dey worship people wey hate you. 🙄

Lazy and empty headed black africans always put all the blame of their failures in life on the white man. In 2015 nigeria was the biggest economy in africa with a gdp of over $500b but some group of nigerians who are known champions in ethnic and religious bigotry came together and fought and removed the pdp govt in power then later took nigeria back to the stone age today nigeria's gdp is just $285 will you also blame the white colonialists for nigeria's current economic and security woes that's clearly caused by the gross incompetence and bad leadership style of the apc govt?

Okay,you want to talk about population size abi,oya compare Nigeria with China using all those metrics and let's see if the population size is an advantage or a disadvantage

The reason why comparisons like these don't make sense is this,how can you compare a nation of over 7m people with massive oil deposit with one with over 200m people.

Using your own logic, how can you compare a nation that experienced extreme civil unrest within the last two decades to one that didn’t?

Population alone cannot be the excuse. Nigeria has had far more stability, far greater human resources, and massive oil deposits for decades. With those advantages, the country should be performing significantly better.

Nigeria should honestly be ashamed that Libya-a nation that was recently war-torn-is still doing better in several respects. That reality highlights deeper issues of governance and accountability. This is gross.

benardtotti:
Wait first ! Let's compare lagos and Libya:

Here is a simple comparison between Lagos State and Libya based on the latest available data.
Total GDP Comparison
Economy
GDP
Lagos State
about $259 billion (PPP)
Libya
about $45–48 billion (nominal)
Lagos’ economy reached about $259.7 billion based on purchasing power parity (PPP), making it one of the largest city economies in Africa. �
TheCable +1
Libya’s total national GDP is roughly $45 billion (2023) and about $48 billion projected for 2025. �
Worldometer +1
✅ This means Lagos’ economy (PPP measure) is larger than Libya’s entire economy.
Population Comparison
Place
Population
Lagos State
~20–24 million
Libya
~7 million
This matters because GDP per person depends on population.
GDP Per Person (Approx.)
Place
GDP per person
Lagos State
~$10k–$12k (PPP estimate)
Libya
~$6,800–$7,600
Libya’s GDP per capita is around $6,800–$7,600 per person depending on the year. �
Worldometer +1
So even though Libya is an oil country, Lagos residents on average produce more economic output per person when measured using PPP.

Bro don't use this mindset to cross road or drive a car. How do you think in your wildest dreams Libya with a GDP higher than Nigeria will now have GDP figures lower than Lagos.

You guys become jokers with this kind of dubious statistics you bring. Chai you are a danger to yourself and others around you.

SadiqBabaSani:
he will shift it again, you see this people that supported Buhari and now Tinubu they are not okay

Oga, ati Tinubu, ati Atiku and Obi , there is no difference. Tinubu's 8 year as a governor is farrr better than Obi's 8 year as a governor.

Abeg make Nigeria scatter make everyone go on him own. When the US then arrested Gumi on terrorism charges, GEJ as President had to beg US for Gumi's release with promise that Gumi will be punished in Nigeria. The US released Gumi to Nigerian authorities and Gumi walks free till date. Or why do you think the Saudi govt deported him when he visited for Hajj last year? Jonathan was put under pressure by the powers that be to make sure Gumi was set free by the US notwithstanding he was already a known terrorist. These powers that be do not want any southerner to rule Nigeria. Tinubu is trying so hard to scatter the powers that be and they too are getting back at him. Wrestling power from these evil cabals is the way to go and it's only Tinubu that is putting up that fight.

The best you can all do is cry online but you have got nothing to do about it. Can't you see your Obi? Someone that can't even take control of a political party successfully is your hero. The way things are at the moment is obviously not the ideal thing but power must be wrestled from the HausaFulani and Tinubu is doing that. If the HausaFulani are not good with it and they suddenly want secession, it's OOOKAYY!!!

How many years old is china compared to Nigeria,what is the ethnic demograhy of china......do you have any idea what china went through to get where they are right now or you think china just started yesterday.......it's only subsidy that was removed by tunubu you have hated the man more than the devil accusing him of depriving you from driving or owning your own car .....do you know how long the Chinese endured to even be able to afford a car let alone drive one......you were already gallivanting all around in Mercedes Benz cars and jeeps while the Chinese were riding bicycles,marrying several wives and concubines while the Chinese couldn't have more than 1 and couldn't birth more than 1 due to govt economic planning......you then want Nigeria to be like china overnight.

So it is now about how many years old? So Nigeria will develope when it get to 100 years...right

So ChatGPT is dubious? You lack knowledge and know nothing about economies, so step aside Dundee.

Yes, Jonathan was our biggest hope and so rewarded with votes North and South of the country. One of the reasons is we thought a minority would not chop and go like the Fulani/Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba who just want to be President regardless of the poverty of their own people.

Thank God, Obasanjo and Jonathan gave Igbo the chance to display their wizardry. If you want to know what is said about both Administrations today, listen to Ngozi Nkonjo. A Minister of Finance in both Administration. Success in Obasanjo Administration but a failure in Jonathan Administration because nobody dared defy her in OBJ Administration.

As for Tinubu, like most Nigerians blaming him, not the Messiah we were waiting for. But far better than the other two Presidential candidates.

ALWAYS THE SAME ''SINGAPORE''. ''MALAYSIA''. 🙄

OUT OF 204 COUNTRIES ON EARTH, 180 of which are developing countries, IT'S NO SURPRISE you only have 2 or 3 countries to call.

Why not Singapore's NEIGHBOURS and brothers, from Cambodia to Burma (Myanmar) to Nepal to Vietnam?

NO.

Always just ''SINGAPORE'' because someone DECEIVED you that they used a ''special good governance'' to become developed.

LISTEN UP. Malaysian development is all about their proximity to CHINA.

Chinese businesses and Chinese capital are the first thing you notice in Malaysia.

AS FOR ''SINGAPORE'', Here is how AI explains the rise of this SINGAPORE you people always disturb us with:

..................

Singapore sits at the narrow gateway between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, near the Strait of Malacca, one of the busiest shipping lanes on Earth.

Roughly one-third of global maritime trade passes through this corridor.

This gave Singapore three enormous advantages:

- Control of a natural global trade chokepoint

- A guaranteed role as a transshipment hub

- Constant flow of ships, goods, capital, and people

Unlike most developing countries, Singapore did not need to create trade — trade was already passing by its doorstep.

Its strategy was simply to become the most efficient place for ships to stop, refuel, repair, and transfer cargo.

Today the Port of Singapore is consistently among the busiest ports in the world.


Cold War Western Investment

After independence, Singapore became extremely valuable geopolitically.

During the Cold War, Western countries wanted stable capitalist hubs in Asia. (to checkmate Soviet influence)

Under Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore positioned itself as:

-strongly anti-communist

-politically stable

-safe for Western companies

This made Singapore a major recipient of multinational corporate investment.

Companies from:

the United States

United Kingdom

Japan

Germany

set up factories and regional headquarters there.

Singapore became a manufacturing platform for Western markets.


Tiny Size (Easier to Govern)

Singapore is very small.

Singapore has:

~5.9 million people

~734 km² of land

Compare that to countries trying to industrialize with:

hundreds of millions of people

vast rural areas

ethnic conflicts

huge infrastructure needs

Singapore is basically a city-state.

That means:

easier infrastructure planning

centralized decision-making

lower administrative complexity

What works in a city-state doesn’t scale easily to large countries.

- AI

You guys always have excuses to explain away the gross incompetence and failure of ur apc leaders only a stark illiterate will think any country in this world can develop and become a first world nation without good leaders who are credible, intentional and have long term good policies to unluck the potentials of those countries. Singapore have some economic advantages which their wise leaders unlucked nigeria also have economic advantages in terms of massive natural resources everywhere but corrupt and evil leaders which has been leading the country for decades has instead either choosed to loot these resources or used it on things that can never develop nigeria.

They get agitated when you question their mental state.

Same thing is applicable to people in psychiatric hospitals who still see themselves as people that are ok upstairs, but fight you with their last blood of you tell them they are not normal upstairs

Like I said before, you will never know how horrible Nigeria is until you step out..
Nigerians are surviving, they are not living..

Imagine so many Nigerians migrating to other African countries with joy, as if they are going to heaven..

You can kindly relocate to Libya. Maybe you'll learn the hard way.
