nemesis8u:India has done marvelously well for itself. I can't really say what the secret is but I think a lot depends on advancement in education of the masses.And again, many may not agree with this,India has been an industrial giant for many decades. I read the story of a British industrialist who mocked Tata steel when it started in 1902 or something. The Briton said he could roll up all the steel produced by Tata and swallow it. Many would have given up at that stage but not the Indian. Today,Lakshmi Mittal is the number one steel magnate in the world,swallowing many European steel companies on the way.The Chinese today are India's greatest rivals and India seems to be faring poorly against China.I used to think the difference was in the system of government. I didn't know India opened up much later than China. There should be a lesson in all of this for my country Nigeria. If India could be pulling itself out of poverty at the rate it is,why not Nigeria We've got bright people too. And the only Indian products in Nigeria I know are Ranbaxxy and Tata.Tata has been here for forever. You can even find relics of their trucks in villages. And Infosys has been popular for years.My grandpa had this very hefty pair of sandals with tyre soles.It had "Made in India" etched into it. |

My 2 cents on India.India has always been a great nation hampered by amongst other issues - it's caste systems. It top elite has always been up there with other global elites - but the age-old caste systems designed to permanently keep huge percentage of it's people as untouchable is one of the changes they really need to make - so all Indians can progressively move forward. They are trying to make changes - including affirmative action - but toppling the hindu quasi-gov system for a real democracy will unleash India's potential. obaaderemi: 1 Like |

rvp2018: You cannot use cement consumption to calculate a country's gdp. Here in nigeria projects are grossly over estimated or inflated. So when do you want to do a project they will inflate it by calculating 5 to 10 times the amount of cement used. Here it's a good example I was at a agricultural project they calculated 1200 fertilizer. At the end of the day be planted the produce and harvested they did not even use one bag of fertilizer. Nigeria does not have a economy what it survive on is borrowing money. |

You have a country when the people only know how to destroy and worship criminals how does the country develop or all progress.

rvp2018:Well l think you have discovered something special and new here, maybe you should send your findings to the relevant bodies that matter, l was listening to a news channel recently and they still referred to Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa. Like l said, you make the lMF useless, because any nation could claim anything and it becomes official, which unfortunately for your case is not so. l also checked all relevant websites and this is what l got from one of them, this website even claims Nigeria has a poverty level a little bit above 30% ( which l believe is the truth), but l believe we are around 320 Billion dollars and no longer 400 Billion dollars. World Atlas - Maps, Geography, travel WORLD FACTS The Biggest Economies in Africa Nigeria is home to the biggest African economy. The Biggest Economies in Africa The countries of Africa have shown great economic growth. The GDP is a measure of a value of total output within a given year. The output is based on goods and services. In 2017, the Gross World Product is estimated at $77.99 trillion while PPP was $126.69 trillion. The world’s GDP is calculated in two ways, the nominal value and based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). In Nominal GDP value, the current market exchange rates are used in calculation while PPP is calculated taking into consideration the market value of an item to be the same in both currencies. The purchasing power of each currency is then determined. US leads in the world’s GDP, followed by China, though most of the African countries are still developing, a few of the African countries have done well in the global map. . |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Daejoyoung: 2:14pm On Sep 03, 2018 |
Nigeria In 2017, Nigeria was the biggest economy in Africa with a GDP of $400.6 billion, and this makes up for 0.5% of the world’s GDP. Nigeria’s economy ranks top in Africa and 28th in the world. Nigeria has a population of about 190 million with a little over 30% of the population living below poverty level. In 2015, the service sector contributed most the country’s GDP at 54.6%, the industry contributed 25.7%, and agriculture contributed 17.8%. The unemployment rate in 2016 was at 13.9%. The Nigerian GDP by PPP level went up from $451 billion in 2012 to 1,124.6 billion in 2017. Today, Nigeria is the largest oil producing country in Africa and ranks 11th in the world. The oil and petroleum industry contributes significantly to the economy of the country. Sorry rvp2018, your theory is not the popular one and not official, my theory of around 300Billion dollars is closer to the truth and now found in some websites. |

sufferNsmiling: Nigeria possibly fairs better than Tanzania in terms of technological adoption. Kenya typically has its hands on a new technology launched abroad within a year (or first in Africa) thanks to our highly literate govt officials. i.e technological readiness. As at last year, the WEF (World Economic Forum) ranked Kenya higher than both Nigeria and SA technologically based on the capacity for innovation, quality of scientific institutions, company spending on Research and Development, University-industry collaboration in RnD, Government procurement of advanced technology products, availability of scientists and engineers and the number of patent filled under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. kenya ranked 37th Globally on innovation, followed closely by South Africa with a similar score but ranked 39th and Nigeria falling behind with a score of 2.8 and ranked 119th globally. On technological readiness Kenya ranked 41, SA, 45 and the fake giant 87. Thats not to say Kenya is entirely better than SA but that SA only tends to outdo Kenya on overall Global competitiveness for being better industrialized, though Kenya is actually more techie even for South Africans. Techwise, Kenya is usually at the very top of Africa. Not much to talk of Nigeria other than they are very old school and unsophisticated as far as technology is concerned. https://techweez.com/2017/10/18/gcr-2017-kenya-innovation/ 1 Like

With cellphone penetration at 68%, internet penetration at 33% and 25% of Nigeria’s population owning a smartphone, Nigeria is easily one of Africa’s most technologically advanced nations. Companies like IBM and Google have created innovation hubs in Nigeria. Nigeria is the home of many ground breaking inventions and technology companies like Iroko Partners. Nigerian Saheed Adepoju is the inventor of the INYE-1 & 2 tablet computers. Another Nigerian , Seyi Oyesola, co-invented CompactOR or the “Hospital in a Box”, a portable solar-powered life-saving operating room |

In the spirit of science & technology, Kenya will host the next edition of the Next Einstein Forum (NEF) in 2020. NEF Global Gatherings include exciting sessions such as NEF Fellow Spotlight Sessions – TED like events where Africa’s top scientists share their research and innovations – live online discussions with special guests, discovery sessions that unpack ground breaking discoveries, an exclusive Ministerial Meeting and the NEF’s signature continental innovation competition. According to Mr. Thierry Zomahoun, the NEF Chair: “Kenya is a strategic country for us because it provides an ideal environment for the intersection of academia and innovation. A strong innovation ecosystem requires a strong link between academia and the private sector. In this regard, Kenya is ahead of the curve and we look forward to incorporating the ecosystem approach in our program and inviting the world of science to Africa,” You read that right,,, Kenya is ahead of the curve... 1 Like

A trip to Kenya's desert region of Turkana. You can catch up to 5 flights a day to Turkana. Basically, we could hold African Championships here in this remote region and there wont be flight issues as they had in Nigeria.

If you thought Turkana was all about remoteness, drought and oil, think again. Turkana has its own Christ the Redeemer, just Like Rio in Brazil, only that this Christ is actually more persevering given the scorching and sweltering desert heat.

That rich coming from you. Whatever Yemi Kale throws to Imf/WB - that is what they'll take - can only massage the price numbers or advice on weighting - but as a rule - whatever Nigeria tell the world - is their GDP - it will be taken at it highest. But there are things you can't fake. So obviously if you ran to WB or IMF - the same IMF that accept you economy is 500B - cannot even lend you 10B - they lend you as much as Kenya .South Africa whose GDP is credible has debt of nearly 180B - Kenya has debt of around 50b - with GDP of 85-88B. Nigeria has 70B debt - and struggle to pay. Look at the gov revenues...520B economy - can only generate 20B '. A real GDP like South Africa generates revenues more than 100B. Kenya has revenues 20B. In short you're free to fake it; call yourself the biggest economy; but besides the momentarily bragging right brought down by realization that Nigeria replaced India as poverty capital; it won't help you. What is important for Nigeria is to find it's real bottom. To know the kind of hole they are in. If they deluded themselves they are big economy - they will not hold themselves or their politician to account. Daejoyoung: 1 Like |
