And yet, we never sees 'Made in those countries' industrial products in largest Africa market Nigeria. I don't trust this rating at all

Nigeria is a big country with most populated in Africa, industry in Lagos, PH and Warri alone may surpass majority of countries listed above. Dangote and Bua groups are more than 10 industries in some countries.

Lies from pit of hell, I don't see any country there more industrialized than Nigeria...I can consider Egypt... Nothing less.

The list is a total joke.

Nigeria still no dey top 10 with all the loans😂😂😂

Phucking agbado republic!

Nigeria
Biafra should be there Haba

Oòduà Republic to join soon provided iswap does not hijack the movement.

When i tell Nigerians that Nigeria is the worst country in Africa they think I'm exaggerating.

Keep voting in people who have no plans. People who are not even confident enough to take questions from the media or attend a debate simply because they have nothing upstairs to offer.

Other countries vote ideas, Nigeria has continued voting tribe.

Keep going

No way in hell does Senegal more industrialized than Nigeria....

But i read the President wife below talking about frying Akara and Kulikuli.😒

Nigeria should stop sponsoring religion especially hajj and pilgrims

The same south Africa that Nigeriams, especially igbos claim to built, haha. Main character syndrome will ruin Nigerians. Good thing they have been sent out of SA, other countries should do the same because we brag too much. We are not even the top 10 fraud countries but our mouth is the loudest

When did Nigerians claim they built South Africa?

Apart from Egypt,, maybe SA & Morocc


We nor really rate others cos anambra sef industrialize pass all those mentioned countries

Nietgria is behind ordinary Congo and Gabon?! I weep for this beautiful country, how the mighty has fallen?! We have more resources than most of them but look at where we are

I have heard severally that South Africa is the most industrialized country in Africa.Does it mean that Morroco overtook SA?
I think the data is in relation to population.
After South Africa,Egypt,I don't think there is any nation more industrialized than Nigeria especially in West Africa.
Nigeria has significantly more industries than Gabon,Kenya etc.
While Gabon has a higher GDP per capita due to its oil wealth and small population, Nigeria’s sheer size and economic diversity make it the industrial powerhouse of West Africa.
Key differences in their industrial sectors include...size and scale.
Nigeria is one of the top two industrialized nations in Africa (along with Egypt and South Africa) with an industrial production value in the tens of billions of dollars.
Gabon’s industrial sector is much smaller by volume, heavily concentrated on timber processing, manganese mining etc.
Nigeria boasts a massive, deeply diversified manufacturing sector.
Nigeria produces everything from cement, textiles,food and beverages to pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and technology.
Gabon’s manufacturing sector remains largely underdeveloped, contributing less than 10% of its GDP, as it relies heavily on importing manufactured goods.
As per Oil and Gas,both nations rely on petroleum. Nigeria not only extracts crude oil, but it also has a much broader supply chain involving petrochemicals and extensive domestic refining.
Gabon is expanding its Natural Gas sector and refining capacity, but its overall volume and industry scope are a fraction of Nigeria’s.

I don't believe this list. There's no way Mauritius is more industrialised than Nigeria. Infact from 4 to 10. Except if they are using a capita basis which is not a fair measure in this case.

It is fair to say that this experiment democrazy expedition has failed?

The Military system was better, this fact proves so.

No doubt about that, democracy has been doing but failure, the real problem of Nigeria started with democracy

Yes o.failed, failed and failed.

Nigeria is industrialised in poverty, corruption, tribalism and witchcraft.

Most of the sardines you eat in Nigeria come from Morocco.

They also produce a lot of wheat.

They have a huge agricultural and fishing economy.

Also, being industrialised doesn't just mean home grown industries. It also refers to huge multinational companies setting up industrial plants in your country.

Most of the major automotive industries in the world have assembly lines and factories in South Africa and North Africa. In Nigeria all they are willing to do is put up one or two show rooms in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

They won't set up factories in Nigeria because Nigeria doesn't provide a conducive environment for doing business.

Nigeria is a big country with most populated in Africa, industry in Lagos, PH and Warri alone may surpass majority of countries listed above. Dangote and Bua groups are more than 10 industries in some countries.

Even D.R Congo is ahead of Nigeria? Are you sure this data is accurate? I asked because I have been to D.R Congo

So tay Eswatini. So tay Congo, a war torn country.

What a shame.

There's nothing in Warri ,it's a dry town .. majority of the youths are either into yahoo or drive Keke

Stop weeping please, cement companies in Nigeria pass most of those countries listed above, don't let anyone deceive you with shady statistics

So Senegal, Namibia & Eswatini are industrial countries? Whoever posted this should go back to school and learn geography & economics.

Why must you post such an ignorant message just to run Nigeria down.
