Please give us a period in time when the Naira value was greater than the dollar or better for that matter. Also, Which countries are you talking about? i hope you are not comparing Nigeria to Niger Republic. If so then of course Nigeria is better.

bettercreature:
The OP is dunce,That is personal opinion

Nigeria is very very rich

Nigeria was once a great country


Nigeria is better most african countries

JiggamanGh:


People just make comments without much research.

Marvinspeed:
@Op you're wrong on a fact here, check Nigeria's GDP. According to the world bank we are ranked no 22 economy in the world and 1st in Africa. Nigeria has had a growth rate between 5%-7% within the last 5years. Get your facts right.

onoja12:
men no be me go tell you the time, go ask your parent, let them give you the dates, as for Niger, i maintain it is only people who haven't traveled that talk rubbish about Nigeria not been developed .

mykel231:
Our GDP and the 5%-7% growth was a manipulation by Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.Now the reality has manifested.

Observant:
Black people will always console themselves in their misery.
No different from the phrase "I am black and proud".
You can't help but wonder what the idio.t is proud of.

Is he proud of selling his kind into slavery in the 17th century and remaining slaves for over 200yrs?

Is he proud of making a mockery of the most stable, viable and resourcefully blessed continent in the universe, turning it to a cesspit of diease, cruelty, poverty, wickedness, and mental wastage?

Is he proud of willfully submitting to imperialism in the 21st Centuary?

The more you look at the Africana the more you question there sensibility and existence as a human race.
After all, lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. Blacks might be humanoid but are they actually humans?

Chukzyfcb:
Who is that comparing nigeria to ghana. Where were you when Okonjo iweala gave a shocking lecture @ Babcock's convocation ceremony. She said on per capita basis;
Bayelsa- $545 per anum
Akwa ibom - $360 per annum
Delta - $270 per annum
Ghana - $255 per annum
Benin republic -$146 per anum
Liberia- $103 per anum
Gambia - $117 per annum

As you can see,some states even performed better than Ghana. And these nigeria states is based on only ALLOCATION ooooo, Their Internal Generated Revenue wasn't even calculated. The distribution of wealth is killing us in 9ja. Our state Governors haff killed us!!!

Rossikk:
Yawwn... You have ONLY 20 million people to look after and you can't even do that. What will you do if 100 million people were added to you? I actually think you're worse than Nigeria. You have no excuse. Your leaders are silent thieves.

my friend shut up, you have never been to either of those countries you read one report then assume expert status

Bollinger:


You are funny. I have been to more countries than you can imagine. And i can tell you unequivocally that Nigeria is not it at all. Even with my brief stay in Ghana i can confirm that the country is way better in so many ways.

Sweetguy25:
That Nigeria was once a great a country – It is common to hear Nigerian’s make statements like “our country will be great again”. This comment is quite delusional.
Nigeria, to the best of my knowledge has never been a great country. You may try to pass of some of our characteristics like population, ethnicity or the fact that we used to have groundnut pyramids in the past as greatness but reasonably, these things don’t make you great.
Examples of countries that were great are China and Argentina. They were both known to be highly prosperous countries in the past and unfortunately lost their prosperity as time went by.
Nigeria has never been known to be a prosperous country since its independence till date.

That Nigeria is a rich country: This is another unfounded untruth that is perpetuated by some ignorant Nigerians.
The “GDP per capita” is the standard used in measuring how rich a country is. Nigeria’s GDP per capita currently stands at 3000 dollars. This makes Nigeria a low income country and one of the poorest countries in the world.

That Nigeria is more developed than most countries in Africa: Some Nigerians who have never been beyond the boundaries of Lagos and Abuja would think there are fewer places in Africa that are better than these places (and Nigeria as a whole) in terms of infrastructure and economic development.
Recent ratings from the World Economic Forum’s global competitiveness report shows that even in West Africa, certain countries like Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Cape Verde and Senegal all have better infrastructure ratings than Nigeria.
Honestly speaking, Nigerians have a myopic view as to what true socio-economic growth and development entails. Seeing private jets and luxurious cars as development while majority of the populace cannot afford beyond the basic necessities of life isn’t development.

That Nigeria would develop and be great:
Although we can’t predict the future, we can judge from history and the current state of affairs to project what the future would look like.
The possibility of Nigeria becoming great with its current structures, constitution and institutions is very slim.
The current socio-political and economic regime that perpetuates greed, rent-seeking, injustice and laziness will not get this country where is plans to be.
Until we begin to call for a structural and systemic change, Nigeria may not witness any progress in the long-run.

See me stalking your post.that aside Nigeria isn't that bad,you are talking as if buhari give u a ministerial position u won't leave that country that want to use tax to kill you.
Bolli I put it to you Nigeria is BAE

JiggamanGh:


I agree out leaders are thieves and they should be performing better. I don't know why you are using population as an excuse. What would you say if your population reach that of Brazil, China, Japan, India or us. Aren't all these countries much developed than countries with far less population.

Stop using your pop as an excuse, you are embarrassing yourself and giving a pass to the leaders.

JiggamanGh:


I am getting error

Rossikk:


But Nigeria is more developed than Ghana. So what are you talking about? We have more roads, more airports, more functional seaports, more universities, more cities, more expressways, more industries, more factories, far larger IT and automative sectors, more rich people, a much larger middle class than Ghana's. A middle class that is at least 3 times the entire Ghanaian population. A much larger GDP (both per capita and gross). https://www.google.co.uk/#q=ghana+gdp

bros l lived in Accra and OSu for two years and i stay in lagos now...i am a nigeria...yes Nigeria might bre more huge but Ghana is more infrastructrally developed than Nigeria ...and there is more sanity than Nigeria

And most importantly, we pray to God to solve all our problems without working for it.

Bollinger:


How far bro's? I beg to disagree. Nigeria is terrible. Even if i had a billion dollars, i could never live in that country ever again. Money is not everything ooooo. What is most important to me is the mentality of the people i surround myself with, the security of the place i'm in, and the amenities afforded me. I went to the Nigerian embassy in berlin last week and i was shocked at the way Nigerians were doing business there. When in rome at least act like romans, but no. Nigerians were acting like Nigerians. Shameful. Doing business with cash, selling food inside an embassy, talking to patrons like they were slaves. I have been to many embassies and i have never seen what i saw that day. The Mentality of a nation's populace means a lot. And on the subject of taxation; bro's, na because you no de used to am. It is not bad at all. There are only advantages and zero disadvantage if applied properly. Taxation discourages corruption, helps a country with a solid and accurate database, helps with development, etc. Nigeria no be am at all.

FKBZ:


I agree,but we pray buhari gets it right.All nigerians need is a firm hand and a corrupt-free/disciplined leader.

But till then Niger for life....
