“What makes a nation third world?
Despite everevolving definitions, the concept of the third world serves to identify countries that suffer from high infant mortality, low economic development, high levels of poverty, low utilization of natural resources, and heavy dependence on industrialized nations. These are the developing and technologically less advanced nations of Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America. Third world nations tend to have economies dependent on the developed countries and are generally characterized as poor with unstable governments and having high rates of population growth, illiteracy, and disease. A key factor is the lack of a middle class — with impoverished millions in a vast lower economic class and a very small elite upper class controlling the country's wealth and resources. Most third world nations also have a very large foreign debt.

__ Definitions

point The term "First World" refers to so called developed, capitalist, industrial countries, roughly, a bloc of countries aligned with the United States after World War II, with more or less common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.

Countries of the "First World"



point "Second World" refers to the former communist-socialist, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.

Countries of the "Second World"



point "Third World" are all the other countries, today often used to roughly describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries, as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.


Countries of the "Third World"
Third World Countries classified by various indices: their Political Rights and Civil Liberties, the Gross National Income (GNI) and Poverty of countries, the Human Development of countries (HDI), and the Freedom of Information within a country.

Based on that colonial biased mentality ideology analyses, all Asian, Oceania. South America and Africa are third world countries as long as they are from those continents but all Europe and North America are Eldorado on earth. Despite the fact that some of these same African, Asian and South America countries are far developed than some Western Europe and America according to their oluwole theory yet ...


Meanwhile, the brainwashed black man who was made to believe his forefathers were rescued from primitive life to civilization through the help of colonialism, will just swallow hook line and sinker whatever have been told them without thorough research and analysis on their part.

It is high time we start to focus on our own need than rather keep comparing ourselves with others.

We should not allow people to keep setting standards for us.

SlayerForever:
So people have are arguing that Nigeria is not 3rd world? Honestly, some Nigerians are very provoking.
This your argument now is it based on patriotism or ignorance?! I know it's ignorance but lemme ask first.

I might sound rude on this

But only people with no brains or people who are deceiving their self will say Nigeria is not a 3rd world country.

We are supposed to be a 4th world country if you take a look at the so called 3rd world countries they are far more better than us.

Nigerians like to deceive their selves but they know the truth in their mind.

Who be monkey who be mumu ? Dem don derail this thread their their meaningless arguement

Leave them. I'll not contribute to derailing this thread further. For the records,Nigeria is a damned nation,not even 3rd world. Ciao.

We don’t need anyone to define it for us. It’s simple, we. Can redefine the term. But how well off is your neighborhood if you are the only one doing well in it? The middle class in Nigeria is scantily small. But then You have a multitude of very poor people. Some facts are staring in our faces. We need to focus on our needs as a people. But our needs are very glaring. I didn’t say my needs, I said our needs.. and the facts have been staring out faces for decades now and very little is done to change the tide in the nearest future. No game plan, but officers who have a plan to keep on stealing from the masses.

The advantage medical schools in public universities have is the experience of the medical teaching staff. Private schools can’t beat that of course unless they employ expatriates.
All you need is a pace-setter, and other private schools will want to copy. We have so many public schools that have been in operation, and because they are government owned they are damned to struggle for many more years. However, with private school promotes better competition. That’s needed to raise the standard with time.
One question, please could you tell me how does UI curriculum differ from that of UNILAG for example? I’m not basing this discussion medical school alone. Of course you know medicine is only one course.

Nigeria's educational system is not well synchronized that is the problem. UI's curriculum differs from that of other schools, in fact it is very very difficult to see two schools in Nigeria with similar learning structures which makes you wonder what exactly the NMA is playing at. For example in some schools you have medical students writing mathematics in their premedical year and you are left wondering what business they have with mathematics. If all public universities can adopt a working model like UI has done and then eschew all these rubbish about tribalism and special cutoff marks for special people(which even UI has not managed to achieve) then trust me we can achieve anything. I don't even understand how this is an argument.

To your first point I disagree too. When we were in our preclinical classes going for anatomy lectures on dissection we had to use cadavers that were at least 20years old, no joke. Go to private universities and see state of the art equipments yet, no offence to anybody oh, they are still producing half baked doctors who we have to put up with during their residency. The problem with private universities is simple, it is profit oriented. If we can just provide these facilities to students in public universities trust me we wouldn't be here today. The simple point here is that private universities do not provide a proper psychological environment for learning to occur(not physical). As an illustration of the point, a female course mate of ours then failed so badly that what she got was a capital letter W after just our first MBBS but somehow she changed to Bowen abi na covenant and graduated with distinction in Anatomy and BCH same things she failed woefully and somehow you want me to believe that private universities will save anybody

What is Nigeria a wealthy rich nation.

What is your yardstick for wealth.

Of course we have modern health facilities the best that's why our leaders don't have to seek medical assistance abroad.

goodie have outstanding up to date modern fit for purpose public infrastructure,roads, drainage, electricity supply

The best educational facilities ( that's why we don't have Nigerian in large droves seeking education in Ghana, to name just a few).

Our security services are the best in Africa, that's why when called to Mali we were given non combative guard duty. To further stress our superiority, Chadian soldiers came into the North East to learn from us and in the process almost took out Boko garam completely.

Our judiciary is the best in the world that's why IBORI was discharged and acquitted on 70 counts in Asaba but pleaded guilty to more or less the same charges in a UK court.

Our judges are incorruptible and of unquestionable integrity. Corruption is at the forefront of this administration's quest for good governance that it has so comprehensively reduced corruption that nobody of substance has been convicted in the last three years.

Our roads are the best in West Africa once you cross the Seme border you immediately see the transformation in comparison to these smaller countries third world countries with a GDP less than some of our state governments.

Nigeria is the giant of Africa and ahead of the game. A first world nation.

Leave them make dem dey argue blind arguement.

Dem dey argue while most of them struggle to charge their phone.

Most of them if Nepa give them light for 2 hours dem go say nepa try something that is suppose to be our right.

Example- Problem...solution
Port Congestion and Apapa Road..
Solution-Building of of Deep Sea Ports at Calabar,Ibaka,Bayelsa and Onne
Year of Completion-2025
Budget-3trillion
Each year for each port-300billion at the same time oooo
Monitoring Group in place...etc etc

This is a just a primary school example of a plan for development...not just projects and giving 72hours to clear it or building a truck park..

Abi na bro,look at when d Arab spring(Arab revolution) happened in Tunisia,Egypt and co some few years back,I followed it keenly on channels news,

I noticed one thing dt despite d violence, gun shots,fire crackers,protest and all oda form of violence,d street in Tunisia, Egypt and co were still enjoying LIGHT,d street light never went off,homes too were not in darkness


But come to our dear country here,ordinary RAIN FALL FOR HERE,NEPA GO DRY WIRE FOR THREE DAYS ,anyway we will get dere

Okay you educated me on lack of synchronized curriculum in public schools. Thanks for that!

Your example is just one case. I know of several students that were dropped from private schools because of their poor perdormance.

Like you rightly pointed out the environment can encourage learning. This can actually go both ways. you cannot draw conclusion from one example. And besides, isn’t it possible that that girl you mentioned improved in her studies because of the learning environment? This environment thing is subjective oh. I spent a year studying in UNiPORT. Honestly some students can not cope with that kind of stress you find in some public schools. Everyone is not the same. Also another scenario, I have a brother who was doing badly in a public university because of cult issues. When he left for a private university he was very serious with his studies and did better. My dad never bribed one day. Make una stop these generalizations o. Private universities are needed, make your choice. Even better ones will spring up. Too much reliance on government funding won’t help us. Education is business as well, but you have to show value

What determines a good university is the numbers of their products that are successful in the society.

UI, OAU, UNN, UNILAG etc have their product occupying prominent positions in key industries both locally and internationally.

When it comes to Medicine Literature/Art, UI, Economic is known globally for producing professionals that excelled in these field.

UNN, UNILAG and OAU also have there area of specializations.

All these prophets of doom, eh
