Nigeria Set To Become Biggest African Power Since Pharaonic Egypt by Rossikki: 1:33pm On May 27, 2017
Nigeria by 2050 will be the the world's 3rd most populous nation on earth, after China and India.


https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/jun/13/nigeria-larger-population-us-2050



Egypt of the Pharoahs

900 BC was the tail end of the mighty Egyptian empire, which had lasted for thousands of years, and had been Africa's Number 1 nation, exporting knowledge and technology across the earth.

The great empire of Mali, between the 10th and 16th centuries AD, tried hard to replicate the Egyptian miracle in the heart of West Africa, but eventually fell short due to lack of resources.

NOW COMES NIGERIA.

''We project new emerging economies like Mexico and Indonesia to be larger than the UK and France by 2030
(in PPP terms) while Turkey could become larger than Italy. Nigeria and Vietnam could be the fast growing
large economies over the period to 2050.'' PriceWaterHouseCoopers

https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/the-economy/assets/world-in-2050-february-2015.pdf


''Indonesia, Mexico and Nigeria could push UK and France out of top 10 Economies''

http://www.pwc.com/jp/en/japan-press-room/press-release/2015/world-in-2050-150227.html


Nigeria, the emerging African Colossus, set to have a larger population than the USA in a couple of decades. With a projected GDP by 2050 of $7.3 TRILLION, the nation is a growing magnet for high end indigenous and foreign investment, and is projected to be among the world's top 10 economies by 2050.

NIGERIA appears set to lead a powerful African resurgence onto the world scene, and make Africa Great Again.

What a dose of complete poppy-cocck.
I have never seen any one more deluded than this guy. Even if everything begins to work properly in Nigeria, your ceiling is a mid-level power like south-korea, definitely not a superpower in the mould of ancient Egypt.
Even Osinbajo earning millions in aso-rock is not this optimistic about Nigeria.

Who the hell are you to impose a "ceiling" on Nigerian possibilities?

There are no "ceilings" for a country that's set to be the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after China and India.

No ceilings whatsoever.

Recession is not permanent. This thread is about the future. If you cannot see beyond your nose, or beyond your immediate circumstances, you probably should leave the discussion.

I did not impose the ceiling.
Existential realities did.
You don't have superpower potential.
Your geographical assets and indeed your wealth is relatively small even for african standards, you will never be allowed to develop Nukes to mark an entrance into superpower status, and the vast majority of your populace are not very progressive given their islamic loyalties. And i am not even considering the fact that other legitimate superpowers would frustrate any potential superpower emergence in africa for obvious reasons.
Now, I am assuming Nigeria is in a state complete unity, zero tribalism, cerebral and functional governance, decent industrial capacity and absolute peace.
The likes of Israel, Pakistan, Turkey, south-korea, malaysia, singapore have never gotten close to being superpowers, Nigeria definitely can't.

Are PriceWaterhouseCoopers dreamers also? Do you have any clue of their level of expertise in economic analysis and projection? This is how you will sit there doing nothing. Indians will read those reports which you call 'dreams', and start strategising on how to capitalise on the Nigerian economy. Chinese, Lebanese, same thing. You? Oh it's all a dream. Hopefully other Nigerians are smarter than you. Or else, we'll wake up in 2050 and that huge Nigerian economy would be owned by foreigners.

The issue is not about being frustrated.

All great powers have a united people because they all felt that their countries have laid down things that enable them to have their religious, political, economic, social etc dreams fulfilled

I already assumed for the sake of argument that Nigeria is progressive and united which we know is a tall dream.
My focus was on the constant realities that will never change even if everybody in Nigeria becomes satisfied at the country.

Strictly your opinion. You also have this naive view that current superpowers will ALWAYS be there to impose their will and curtail emerging nations. There's no guarantee the US for instance, will even exist in the year 2050, given their reckless military adventurism and societal friction. At the rate they are going, it will be a shock if they don't get wiped out in nuclear conflict with Russia and China. Or implode into some dystopian dictatorship following a crashed dollar, and a rise in Trumpian anarchy and chaos.

A house divided can't be great economically, politically, socially etc

Why did a Yoruba senator oppose the extension of the railway line to the Igbo heartland

Why did Senator Gbajamila oppose the relocation of oil companies headquarters back to ND area

Why are Northerners opposing restructuring

Why are Fulani herdsmen killing fellow countrymen



First thing seen in all great super power nations is Unity born out of love understanding and tolerance


Just imagine someone being killed for urinating near a mosque instead of being cautioned


Rossikki, you are a dreamer and a deluded one for that matter

India is not great because of the discriminating caste system practice over there

China greatness might be short live if she doesn't find a common ground with the dissenting regions

Unity love understanding tolerance and hardwork make nations great and not population

Dude, let's be realistic. His argument is not a matter of opinion but existential realities. We have to achieve greatness in our people before we overcome the world. In what way are Nigerians developed intellectually?

By greatness here I mean an awakening of the mind. You'd be lying to yourself if you say we've achieved that or have any tool in place to.

When you have a country where history is not taught and children are taught that Mungo Park discovered River Niger. When the very examples of independent mindset as exemplified in the life of King Jaja of Opobo, King Kosoko of Lagos and Oba Ovowerenye of Benin are not used in grooming young minds.

My opinion is based on fact. I gave many reasons why but you chose to dwell on one.
Between the US and Nigeria, who do you think is more likely not to be around in year 2050?
My money is on the weak nation, with no credible military, depolrable socio-economics, and high level of social entropy due to religion and ethnicity.
Actually, my money is on the US to crash. Military might is an illusion. Many powers existed before the USA.They all came crashing down despite their military superiority. Indeed, BECAUSE OF their military superiority. One lesson of history is that military dominance ALWAYS leads the dominant nation to over stretch...over reach...over extend... TILL THEY BREAK and come crashing down. The US today, typifies such calamitous decline in the making...Watch and see.

But at the rate India is growing economically, it's only a matter of time before she surpasses Germany. You people need to look long term. European nations' economies are growing by 1 to 2% annually. Africa and Asia, 6 to 10%. Any development economist will tell you those figures are highly significant going forward.

China didn't go through any great intellectual awakening between 1970 and 2017. In the 1970s, China was just your typical developing country. Most people rode around in bicycles. They just enacted some protectionist economic policies, clamped down on corruption, and focused on manufacturing. Result? The China we see today. You people overthink this development thing. It's really not that complicated.
