True we are rich but we the masses dont see it the politicians at the helm of affairs distributed it within themselves

I think wealth should be measured by the circumstance of the populace, especially in context of a country like Nigeria where pulic servants amass wealth belonging to the nation into their private quarters.

Any parameter that accesses the even spread of wealth may see small countries like rwanda, madagascar besting Nigeria.

Yet NIGERIANS are escaping from this Congo called Nigeria.
This one na ABSTRACT WEALTH, that can’t be seen nor felt. Only felt by those in public/political offices.
Yet USELESSNESS and wastefulness loom

Buhari don join the 'oya bribe dem gang'.
We are even the richest on papers but the poorest wen it comes to resources,human and welfare
management.

Where did they get acurate data about Nigeria's/Lagos privately owned properties and investment.

Most of the property investments here are not formally captured.

If Nigeria is the 3rd richest African Nation by this report


And Nigeria is also the poorest nation on earth by Theresa May.

I can succinctly put it that Nigeria is the richest poor nation on earth

God save our soul from devourers

Imagine.. Dey are lieing on us

We are getting close
Kudos to lagos
If in three years Nigeria can create 3 more states close to Lagos (In business and commerce) then we can overtake South Africa.

Dangote can buy the whole Africa plus white house in DC.

Yet there's so much poverty in the midst of all the wealth.

EVILFOREST:
Yet NIGERIANS are escaping from this Congo called Nigeria.
This one na ABSTRact wealth

Only on paper

Jagaban is richer than Lagos state...

Someone should ask AMBODE


Lolx

Still doesn’t provide basic needs for the people so it’s pointless

Imagine... Det are lieing on us

A rich country isn't necessarily a developed country.

While the former could be the result of circumstances beyond their control, the latter is the result of deliberate efforts aimed at improving certain indicators e.g. security, health, inequality, unemployment level etc

I thought it necessary to explain this, so zombies do not run off celebrating incompetence.

Lies

African countries are really poor.

We were number one before.

All the dullards fault

These other small countries are moving very fast.

If we don't step up, we will be the joke of the continent in 20 years.

Few are rich and majority are suffering

What has this got to do in making sure Buhari does Not return to power?

Ok

yes our foreign reserve is beautiful, but our naira is dirty and has less value...

If Nigeria is third richest in africa, then africa must be really poor
