Ghana owes us 40 million dollars? How are they going to pay? That's well over 10% of their GDP!

Legonviking:



You are doing injustice to your maths tutor.

what grade did you get

HeyCorleone:
Nigeria is like a prostitute that pays you after having a romp with her. That is the way we relate with other countries.

And yes Ghana is better than Nigeria. There's no excuse anybody wants to give. If you like say that Nigerians own the businesses in Ghana, it doesn't change anything.

Ghana is way ahead of Nigeria.

Any country that enjoys light 24/7 is Heaven compared to Nigeria. Don't gimme that bullcrap about Nigeria supplying their gas. Why can't we supply the gas here and improve our power supply?

Nigeria is a failed state. QED

emmie14:
So Ghana is really owing Nigeria yet Nigerians are disrespected in Ghana?

Truckpusher:
Your points are valid and Nigeria over time has shown sign of a failing state but from my findings , all the armed crisis that has plagued Nigeria for the past 15 yrs and currently ongoing are politically motivated and such will not amount to what people think. Nigeria can't fail as far as enough money is out their from oil proceed to share.

With the level of crisis we've been through after migrating from military rule to democracy and hasn't gone to war is a fit that ordinarily would have been very hard to achieve by other countries considering our size, the sustainable resource located in just a particular part of the country, religion and different cultural attributes with all it's negative attendant divisive influence. I can categorically say we have done abysmally poor but we have also shown sign of perseverance which is a major ingredient in nation building.

Shroud:


I still wonder how Nigeria has, for decades, overlooked a clear opportunity of being an undisputed hegemony in West Africa despite having 76% of the economy of the region and having nearly 60% of the entire population.

Even with our firms like Dangote, Glo, real estates, banks and dozens of small to medium scale business dominating the entire region, our myopic and incompetent political class has not deemed it fit to change our foreign policy in the subregion.

Nation's owe each other.

HeyCorleone:


By perseverance what do you mean? Is it this fake love we have for each other? Nigeria is only together because of what the North has to gain from the South. If the oil should dry up tomorrow, it'd be the North calling for a split themselves.

Truckpusher:
The civil war created a lot of suspicion among the ruling elite class from the different regions , a lopsided constitution and below average educational standard took the Nigeria and Nigeria's economy to the gutters.

If we need a great leap in the economy within 10 yrs which is achievable , a state of emergency should be declared on our educational system followed by massive industrialization.

Truckpusher:
And you think any part of the South don't have what it takes to set up in motion the elements of division ?

The elites and the political class from every nook and cranny has so much to lose if Nigeria descends into chaos. with all the noise from the Niger Delta and recently from Biafra secessionists why haven't the elites from these region paid any relevant attention?

Nigeria's problem isn't about region and who gets what. The religious and regional cards being doled out by the elites is nothing but a well orchestrated plan to keep emotionally unstable and political illiterates busy while they reign supreme.

If any Nigerian President should solve the educational plague in the country ,the religious and regional card based on egocentric sentiment will die a natural death.

Shroud:


That's the bane of our problems in every facet of our nation life. Any country of 189 million people that becomes an import dominant country will become a dumpsite for the rest of the world.

If only we could manufacture more and use every bit of our gas to generate electricity...

INDUSTRIALFAN:
look at this Ghanaian

Albert0011:
Can u imagine that my community has gas flow station and still yet we don't have light since last year.

HeyCorleone:


Full blooded hombre from the South South. I have just boldly embraced the truth. I'd rather you do same.

HeyCorleone:


I don't know what you are talking about.

Historically Nigeria wasn't meant to be. It's creation was just to solve the problem of funds mobilization from the South to the North.

There is nothing on this Earth that can guarantee our sustainability. Let us just enjoy the moment. But peradventure you wake up tomorrow and Nigeria is no longer one, do not be surprised or dismayed. The best thing has just happened.

Truckpusher:
Learn how to follow the topics.

We aren't talking about the division of Nigerian but her wayward economy.

HeyCorleone:


Nope.

My stance was Nigeria was done as a country, and you proved otherwise, and I have given a counterargument.

Pay attention.

Truckpusher:
It's a sad reality.

You can't achieve that on the alter of mediocrity with thousands of illiterates youths across all region who are just comfortable voting for you ,simply because you're their tribes man.

We need selfless leaders who cares more about their legacy rather than chasing wealth they won't live to enjoy forever.

Dirkcoyt:


You identify education as the reason. the question is how do you solve it?

Education is fragment of the system yet an integral one. Even the educated climes like Uk still call for creation of state. Monaco still have regional autonomy.

is not really education we should be looking at but the constitution. if the constitution represent the peoples interest it will uphold the law and every nation with rule of law advance.


fix the constitution entirely rather than amending it then every sector will fall in line. from security to education to healthcare all up to industralization to employment down to affordability of Abraham Maslow pyramid of shelter, food etc.

Shroud:


I truly advocate for a regional system with decentralisation of Abuja's powers. If power, both economic and political is decentralised and spread to the states, it will cure this tribalism in our politics.

Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths but also one of our challenges.

We have a large percentage of youth not politically sophisticated beyond immediate material gains. With a very poor world outlook.

Truckpusher:
Exactly , but who would want to change a system that benefits them immensely with little or no question asked.

Truckpusher:
Done economically ? yes !! which can be revived . But talking about done as in a "secessionist agenda" I beg to differ.


Try any nonsense the Nigerian military will clear you out within 24 hrs unless it is political as usual.
