Leave Ghana with their hype.

Maybe if you can boldly show us any of this roads in good conditions we might start hyping Nigeria too

onitsha - enugu expressway

Seme - mile 2 express road

Benin - Warri roads.

See Benin- Warri road.


Seme - Mile 2 road is under construction. Ten lanes from mile 2 to Badagry. Six lanes from Seme border to Agbara.

94m Nigerians poor – Oxfam
Our population a liability – Sanusi
President Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday that while Nigeria’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people living in 4 or 5 states and the FCT, about 150 million others are languishing in poverty in the remaining 31 states.
He, however, noted that with the successful conduct of the 2019 general elections, and the commitment and vision of those who emerged winners, policies are being put in place that focus on delivering prosperity to all Nigerians through enhancing security and eliminating corrupt practices in the public service for an improved economy.
Buhari, who addressed delegates at the opening session of the 25th Nigeria Economic Summit (NES#25) in Abuja, said, “A significant proportion of Nigeria’s prosperity today is concentrated in the hands of a few people living primarily in 4 or 5 states and the FCT. Some of the most prosperous Nigerians are here in this room.
“This leaves the remaining 31 states with close to 150 million people in a state of expectancy and hope for better opportunity to thrive. This, in the most basic form, drives the migratory and security trends we are seeing today both in Nigeria and across the region.”
President Buhari said he was more committed to driving economic prosperity as opposed to economic growth. He noted that a prosperous country is one where majority of the citizens have an acceptable standard of living and a decent quality of life as opposed to a society with a few wealthy people.
Buhari also said in addressing population growth, security and corruption matters in developing economies, policies and programmes must focus on promoting inclusivity and collective prosperity. “During the elections, almost all candidates proposed their vision for the economy and for the country. Our party, the All Progressives Congress, put before the country policies that focus on delivering prosperity to all Nigerians through enhancing security, eliminating corrupt practices in public service, supporting sectors that will create jobs, and promoting socially-focused interventions to support the poorest and most vulnerable among us,” he said.
The 2019 NES#25, has as theme ‘Nigeria 2050: Shifting Gears’. Those attending include captains of industry, high profile federal and state government officials, the media and other relevant stakeholders.
Huge population a liability – Sanusi
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, while speaking during a panel session of the summit, said Nigeria’s huge population was currently a liability to the country, but quickly added that it could be turned into assets. The session focused on how demographic realities could be transformed into social and business opportunities as well as the implications on internal migration, sustainable peace and security. “People talk that our population is an asset but we are yet to get there. Nigeria’s population is currently a liability because most of the root causes of problems such as kidnapping, armed robbery, Boko Haram, drug addiction are all tied to the population that we have and the question is how do you turn that into a productive one,” Sanusi said.
Summit gaining success – Ighodalo
Earlier in his remarks, chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit (NESG), Dr. Asue Ighodalo, reeled out some of the summit’s previous successes to include the recommendation that caused the GSM revolution, the Pension Reform Act and the reforms in the agriculture among others. He said Nigeria needed to rethink its development trajectory even as the NESG recommended a 31-year economic development plan to end in 2050. He said the private sector was determined to lead the new vision if only government would provide the right enablers.
He also made a case against the perpetual deficit budget traditions. “Between the last summit and now, the real GDP growth rate improved marginally, but remained below our projections. “We recorded a GDP growth rate of about 2% in the first half of 2019, and a decline in headline inflation from 15.1% to 11%.
However, the rate of inflationary decline has slowed considerably, largely as a result of food inflation, which remained sticky at 13.2%.” The NESG chairman said this had resulted in continued erosion of the real income of most people. “As such, there is an urgent need to address not just our perennial revenue-expenditure mismatches, but our overall productivity and growth as a nation.”
94.5m Nigerians live below poverty line – Oxfam
Elsewhere, Oxfam International has said about 94 million Nigerians live below the poverty line. The Country Director, Mr. Constant Tchona, who gave the breakdown yesterday in Abuja, said at least 2.969 million Nigerians have been added to the growing extreme poverty rate in six months, between 8 April 2019 and 7 October 2019. He said the figure now adds to the 91.5m Nigerians living below the poverty line thereby making the number of Nigerians living below the line to be 94.470m. Tchona was speaking at the opening of the Oxfam’s Annual Programme Quality Review (PQR) Meeting themed ‘On the Road To Becoming an Influencing Hub’, meant to provide information on progress made on various programmes being implemented by Oxfam in Nigeria to participants and other programme stakeholders.
He, however, noted President Buhari’s intention to “lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty over the next 10 years and set them on the path to prosperity” to “fundamentally shift Nigeria’s trajectory and place it among the world’s great nations.”
According to Tchona, the 94.5m Nigerians living below the extreme poverty line was based on the latest World Poverty Clock report. He said those Nigerians living below poverty line depended on less than $1.90 daily benchmark or N684 daily. He said, “the number of people that live below extreme poverty level as at April was 91,501,377, making Nigeria the world capital of poverty. As if that was not bad enough, at the moment, six months later, the number has jumped up to 94,470,535 people. “What this means is that we have added 2,969,158 people more into extreme poverty.
By comparison, this number is more than the population of Gambia and Cape Verde combined.” He noted that at the current rate, Nigeria was not only off track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but many now believe that up to 25 per cent of the world’s extreme poor will live in Nigeria by 2030. The Worldometer puts Nigeria’s total population at 200,963,599 people (about 201m), and is to become the world’s third largest country by 2050,” Tchona said. He said if this comes to pass, Nigeria will shock the world if it achieved the SDGs.

Seriously? Lagos a single city in Nigeria has a higher GDP & gdp per capita as well as economic growth rate than the entire colony of Kenya which honestly isn't much. This doesn't even factor in the numerous Mega Projects going on in Lagos.......

OK... Kenya... Perfect

Last I checked the WHOLE of kenya's GDP was $59 billion... Have you bothered to check the current GDP of Lagos? ....dont cry when you do though

Also, Nairobi's population is just over 3million ....ok let's round it up to 4 million right?....ok... Lagos has a population of 20million (for those of you that will come for my head on this, just find out the number of mobile network users in Lagos statistics for 2019 released by the national bureau of statistics ).....ok back to population...so Lagos is NOT Nairobi or Kenya as a whole's mate considering Kenya has a population of iust about 49million.

Also aren't you guys ashamed... Comparing Lagos that isn't the capital of Nigeria to the capital city of the ALMIGHTY NAIROBI .

By the way Lagos is developing the next big city in Africa (Eko Atlantic City) that'll ultimately elevate Lagos far above all these Nairobi type cities claiming to be better... Note that Eko Atlantic developments began around the same time some other African countries started similar projects INCLUDING KENYA.

by the way... How's KONZA SMART CITY fairing ?

Thank you for making a lot of noise look at eko Atlantic below empty vessels make the most noise. So this is what you called the mega City or poverty City

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
You can see from the snapshot below that Nigeria is a total failure. Nigeria spent 7.2 billion Naira on Big Brother Nigeria which the money is more than the allocation of three states in Nigeria. How can a country doing a television show like Big Brother generate more money than three states in Nigeria and location

Thank God you replied.... I was actually waiting for you since I saw your posts on Nigeria and Benin Republic on this thread

first of all Mr KNOW ALL, big brother naija never made 7.2 billion like your very smart type has been peddling all over social media...cos you have a calculator on your phone doesn't mean you're smart or good with numbers SIR ...find out how fans voted before your E-warrior royal behind begins filling up blank web pages... bb naija never even made up to 4 billion naira... SMH...

Mr know all at it again

Mr know all...you shouldn't always google things just to prove your point SIR! ...i'd like to ask you... Have you been to Eko Atlantic??... Have you even breathe the air around Eko Atlantic??

Eko Atlantic City is the most successful purpose built smart city in Africa till date SIR!

Almighty South Africa came up with the symbio-Centurion city a couple of years ago... What level of development has it gotten to SIR??...i guess you have no idea... 'Beautiful and best middle class' KENYA came up with konza technology city... Can you tell me the level of progress??...nope...i bet you can't also... Why don't you search your dear google for images of symbio-Centurion and konza cities to see what you'll find?... I'll cut you the suspense SIR... All you'll see are graphic illustrations of the cities .

You search your dear google for Eko Atlantic City and you see REAL pictures with real progress and you're here wining??

16 lines of pure jealousy.! And expect it to go without saying, when you have dragged our nation in! Keep your arguments with Ghanaians who are truly exposing your shitty republic newcomer my foot

Join me to curse the day I will be jealous of Kenya....7% of paved road since 56 years of independence with about 4% in bad condition is not worth my envy

popizaino:
The bolded sold you out.

Even lagos to Jos is not up to that amount in km. Be sincere, you don't know who might be reading this and stop this fake patriotism that has kept us at the bottom of every human development indicies.Dont masked behind EAC that doesn't benefit average Nigerians to deceive other African countries that we are DEVELOPING.EAC is the least of worry of an average Nigerians amid economy tension, erratic power supply, dry taps, insecurity,police and sars brutality, ọmọ òníle menace, death traps called road and other poor infrastructure. Fix this before parading that EAC.

Lagos to Jos is not up to 1000km..wow is this a joke or what......

The rest is inconsequential, I don't want to try on them

vaxx2:
You should know by now, i knock out baseless logic. the former i made mention is simply immediate, at least for me comparing it to the present chief justice shows it is immediate.

stop griping at ignorance. the dude you claim he is educated Nigerian didn't even school in Nigeria that knock you down . he himself naturalized himself as a Ghanaian before becoming such important figure unlike a Jamaican who become a chief justice in Nigeria.


A ghanaian Nigerian citizens was once a vice chancellor of unilag. deal with that...

Next time learn to be more specific and narrow down your point properly....

As for that VC he earned because he has nigerian blood flowing through his vain
