Obi1kenobi:
I should have known an immature cretin that keeps waffling irrelevant crap about "IPOB" would be a waste of my time. I mentioned a percentage just once for something with clearly no available stats and because of that, you keep running from pillar to post spewing pedantic drivel about "generalizations" and "methodology" and avoiding the weightier matters involved - usually evidence of an intellectually challenged slowpoke. Pedantry is still not a refutation. Your telling me to provide stats for something with no stats is an excuse to avoid the glaring issues.
Any slowpoke who has lived in Nigeria knows the overwhelming majority of Nigerians have no access to government/municipal centralized sewage and public water treatment facilities. When most of us build houses, we build our own septic tanks and soak-away pits and gutters and pack our own shiiiit. So why would someone, other than craving distraction and attention, leave that issue to keep rambling about statistics for what is easily evident?

Keep up with your crazed "Ipob" obsession, okay? Don't grow up! Keep being a hateful loser on the internet.

I didn't ask you for this needless, pointless and redundant story, what I asked for was the facts and survey you based your claims on and when you said 99%, who conducted that survey and came up with that % and if it was you, show us your data and methodologies.

Just admit that it was made up by you.


Simple.

And I did not even call you ipob so stop the guilty conscience and victim mentality routine and distraction.

I have read with sadness many of the unpatriotic comments by supposed Nigerians on the this tread, and I must say that's it's disgusting.

How can a sane citizen of Nigeria have so much hatred for anything Nigerian? okay rather than rubbish your country why not proffer solutions to the numerous problems we have as a country, I mean proffer solutions to the issues of power, corruption, Ethnic/religious intolancre etc.
I as a person can never put Nigeria down, I can insult our politicians/Elites but never Nigeria.

All tribal and regional groups in Nigeria are part of this and past administrations.

Including ibo leaders from ZIK as the president to ibo head of state, ibo vice president, governors, ibo senate leaders, house leaders senate vice president, agency directors, ambassadors and so on and on.

Ibo people have occupied all the leadership offices in Nigeria from president to head of state, governors all the way down.


Learn your history and leave bigotry and tribalism alone.

Please explain to us how and why you can not compete with the average northerner and also what you mean by deregulation.



See, the problem is in one breath you people boast that you own and control everything from Lagos to Abuja while at the same time playing victim and complaining that you lack opportunities?



Which is which and what do you want us to really believe?

OK u misunderstood me. Were not in control of anything , were just looking for opportunities and not regulations to control sectors by fg. Ofcos were def not scared of competing

hedonistic:
This kind of thinking is why we are still stuck in the cesspit of underdevelopment.

"Fighting corruption" is not in itself a development plan. Only a mentally lazy government bereft of ideas and creativity would use a so-called motion without movement "war on corruption" to cloak it's incompetence. What is the clear policy blueprint/road map towards development? Two years after Buhari's government came into being, we are still drifting aimlessly like flotsam.

One of the government's plan is to make agriculture account for 49% of GDP. Would that make our per capital income as high as America or as low as Niger Republic? Your time starts now!

raker300:
stop defending incompetence. Our country is full of it. Only in 2014 did we get a working train system. Only in 2014 did we start building power stations.

Rwanda is miles ahead of us biko

Does Rwanda have one?

Rwanda is run as a technocracy by its democratic dictator. More like a Singapore of Africa.

The Economist magazine praised it's economics policies as policies that would either have it's approval or that of the IMF.

The president is also very honest but unlike Buhari, a firm believer in technocrats. You wouldn't expect the nonsense that happened here when Bubu pegged the Naira at 197 to the dollar without taking consideration of market forces. This eventually led to severe dollar shortages that crippled companies as they had no dollars to import raw materials and other goods. This led to mass closure of companies and widespread layoffs. A severe recession followed that lasted 6 quarters.

Rwandair.....fly the dream of Africa! At least,they operate a smooth national carrier that ply our MM2 consistently, indication that they are better organizers of themselves,and their airport....fu.cki.ng immaculate.

chloride6:
As a result of their small size and all, countries like Rwanda are relative easier to manage and can be developed quite easily just like Singapore.

However, their land mass and population puts them at a continuing loss in terms of economies of scale.

So quick development but just like those small European countries there really ain't prospect for much.

How come large countries like Russia, China, Canada and USA are developed? Continue supporting evil

mrvitalis:
We don't have an open economy which they have ....investing in Nigeria u need a Nigerian as partner and that's cos we won't employment ...for lesser populated countries it need not be so ..so u see people investing in them

You are talking out of point. Can you understand what you typed

You are mentioning countries who have had centuries of political and social structure..

We are just struggling to find our identity

I kind of think Rwanda is overhyped , it's been over twenty years now and yet over forty percent of them are living in extreme poverty .

It depends on where you're coming from.

Presently, let's say it's per capita income is $1,000. If it grew at a very fast rate of 10% annually, it would take it about 12 years to reach Nigeria's level. It is a poor country. It's actually now about $800

Look at Eastern Europe for example. 30 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the per capita income of even the richest there is barely 50% of that of Britain.

I'm serious. I saw this on NTA

We are bleeped .

It's almost as of this country is run by illiterates.


If countries like Ethiopia and Rwanda and Ghana with serious leaders are finding it very difficult to develop , how much more , Nigeria.

Then how come the Asian tigers that were having economic growth of 10 percent saw their per capita rise to over 20k in just 20 years.

Why the descrepancy ?

That is the power of compounding over the long term. Annual growth rates need to be high over the long term. That's why they are referred to as the Asian tigers

Alright , so the bottom line is to maintain high economic growth consistently .

This ignores the distinction between nominal exchange rates and actual purchasing power. Using nominal exchange rates overstates the gap in living standards between Rwanda and Nigeria, and if in future Rwanda starts running trade surpluses over a sustained period, following in the mould of Japan or South Korea during their own boom years, we can expect its currency to strengthen even faster than the real growth rate in living standards, closing and even reversing the currency-bias we currently see.

All of this ignores the reality that Nigeria has a much more skewed income-distribution, with a small minority living it up on oil-rents while the vast majority are probably little better off than their Rwandan counterparts in real terms. Average per-capita income can be extremely misleading in this respect, even adjusting for PPP.

Yes... In all ramifications...

Gbam!

The only thing hiding the rot in Nigeria is the size.
