The link above should sufficiently set the ball rolling concerning these arguments by the Op.

Efewestern:


Taking about developmental index, Nigeria is ranked higher than Rwanda, Rwandans don't have better standard of living than Nigerians, I don't know who is deceiving you, but life in Rwanda doesn't start and end in Kigali.

They are facing epileptic power, about 50% of Rwandas haven't seen power for some time.

Transportation? How are they better than Nigeria, are you mistaking Rwanda for Ethiopia?

Education is very debatable.

I wonder why people with their blind it can seem to see facts from what it ought to be.
Based on statistics Rawanda is not better than Nigeria in terms of numbers.

idealogical:



From their own government.

I just don't know why these low self-esteem people think they know more about the people of Rwanda than the people of Rwanda and the government of Rwanda.

I see the name of the writer sha, na dem dem as usual.

Hate don do some people serious bodily and mental damage that they make up their own lies and ignorant stories about other countries just to insult and abuse their own country.

That's why MMM succeeded and why they are being scammed every day

Resees:
Beautiful country im going to retire in Rwanda with my family..Already working on buying a house or maybe a land to build on.

Nigerians are very gullible people.
Always quick to accept anything without critiquing it no wonder many if you ate easily scammed.
Why don't you do the research yourself and compare and contrast facts available.

read the link below to out everything in their correct perspective.

REPUBLIC OF RWANDA MINISTRY OF INFRASTRUCTURE

To date, 51% Rwandan households have access to electricity,


http://www.mininfra.gov.rw/index.php?id=312

From their own government.

One was arguing up and down that they have 24/7 electricity in Rwanda, but the government of Rwanda said half of their country don't even have access to electricity.


From their village in Nigeria, they know more about Rwanda than the people and the government of Rwanda.

Hate don do some people serious bodily and mental damage that they make up their own lies and ignorant stories about other countries just to insult and abuse their own country.

You are naive.. I have been to Rwanda twice.. do you know what’s $1B?

Efewestern:


Don't spoil the fun sister, with the way the media is hyping this country, only lord knows if what they say about them is true, but one thing is certain, they are good at what they do at the media.

very good with PR.. I have been to the shithole twice... apart from Kigali; nothing to even jot about..

Wow, so you have been there twice, wonderful, haven't been to any East African countries though, but I definitely know Rwanda is overhyped.

I never trust the media, showing us some dope pictures from Kigali doesn't mean Rwanda is developed, I can also show you some super dope pictures from Nigeria.

If you say South Africa is better than Nigeria, I wouldn't have argued, but Rwanda? hiannnnnnn.

No argument

SA is way betterr

Ask nigerians living in SA they will tell you, simple

Austine1212:

Yes I know, I acknowledge the fact that SA is light years ahead of us, but Rwanda? nope I don't believe that.

A little advice, Rwanda is better than Nigeria, Rwandans live better than Nigerians. Rwanda recovered from a civil war in 1994 while Nigeria is still struggling with the ripple effects of a war which ended in 1970.


Put your thinking cap on as you start your Nigerian day. Selah

Khaleell001:


This was sufficiently debunked in a facebook post by a friend with facts.
let's stop playing into Rwanda this Rwanda that.
Facts should speak not sentiments.
We are not saying Rwandas aren't achieving much, but the facts when compared to Nigeria aren't flattering enough.
Open the link below and read with open mind for FACTS(emphasis in the word "facts" NOT sentiments.

https://etn24.com/2019/10/is-there-a-problem-with-comparing-nigeria-to-rwanda.html

A mallam doesn't understand governance NO!

Since Nigeria is doing the politics of "its our turn" they will continue going backwards

And you ask me why I want Biafra?

leofab:
You are naive.. I have been to Rwanda twice.. do you know what’s $1B?

You said it's an overhyped tiny country,do you truly believe that?

leofab:
Have you crossed seme ? If No; then keep quiet.

See this village local champion,you think I sleeps and wake up in dark room due to lack of electricity like you?
No be only Seme na segbe.

u didn't read that Rwanda just signed a $1T nuclear deal in Sochi with Rosatom, while we are pleading that our govt should try to re-negotiate with the original (Russian) builders of ajeokuta steel mill.

Rwanda air has more revenue and assets than all local airlines in Nigeria combined. Yet Kagame does not have a presidential jet, meanwhile your president has a fleet of 10. And we don't even a single aircraft carrier.

Rwanda called bluff of Trump sanctions to impose high tarrifs on US okirika in order for their local textile industry to develop. We busy closing border for rice so that local grain farmers in the north can sell their produce.

Rwanda just commissioned their Volkswagen manufacturing plant ( second in Africa) and made Nigeria to sign d African Trade Agreement in order to sell those cars in Nigeria. Yet our economy and corruption couldn't allow the common volks assembly factory in Lagos plant to thrive.

Rwanda just rolled out the first full locally made smart phone. Yet our president cannot even use for inauguration a made/assembled in Nigerian car. To showcase us to the visiting African leaders for business.

Rwanda is very becoming the next World power from Africa period.

$1TR deal really? don't tell me you believe in that lie, Russia's total trade with all East African countries in 2018 was $500m, trade with Rwanda was just $30m and did i mention also that Russia sends aids worth millions of dollars to Rwanda yearly? while Rwanda had a nuclear deal with Russia, it's no where close to $1T.

Nigeria also manufactures cars, Innoson and Pro-force are producing made in Nigeria vehicles, so what's the hype about Volkswagen setting up a manufacturing plant in Rwanda? FG has been patronising our local cars for some time now, last month, Anambra state government ordered several cars from Innoson, Pro-Force also sold some Armoured vehicles to UN peace keeping force in Africa.

Made Nigeria to sign free trade agreement? lol, those guys were pleading with us last year to sign the deal which I don't even think Nigeria can fulfil, we are still battling with the Ecowas free trade agreement.

Don't we have made in Nigeria smartphones? AfriONe produces their phones here in Nigeria, Lagos precisely, and so far they are being patronized by government agencies and Nigerians.

I'm not delusional to think Nigeria is the best country in Africa, I acknowledge the fact that some African countries are light years ahead of us, but certainly not Rwanda, They can't even stand at par with Lagos or Anambra.

We can’t pay taxes to Nigerian government. We all know what’s gonna happen to it.

Efewestern:


Their capital Kigali is beautiful and neat no doubt, but Rwanda is still no where close to us In terms of GDP (per capital and nominal) and HDI. Even in east Africa they are not among the top 3.

Rwanda is highly overrated and overhyped by some of you, I understand your dislike for the country, believe me, I'm also mad at our stupid leaders, but common, Rwanda?

What you see online is just a mirage.

What GDP are you talking about? GDP doesn’t represent how prosperous a nationis, what indicates that a nation is ok is Per capita GDP.

Our GDP became useless with our humongous population and having a corrupt government makes sure that the GDP doesn’t really reflect in the life of an average Nigerian.

Per capital, Nigeria is still ahead of Rwanda. I stated that on my OP.

Kigali is the only place in Rwanda thats better, the rest is dwee

Kagame has been president for 20 years, is using media to report only good things about media, Rwanda is still poor.

They report even a small thing, i mean in SA shopping malls, sports centers, good roads, are built every day you never hear about it, its normal thing here

Rwanda hype machine is working over time.

Buhari may turn nigeria to be better, if policies are implemented well. I know nigerians hate him but he's heading in the right direction.

Sometimes when you say things also put perspectives into it with facts not sentiments.

1.Rwanda has two ethnic groups Hutus and Tutsis which makes it easy for them to work together while Nigeria has no less than 250 ethnic groups which makes far more complicated for them to work together knowing our history of everyone trying to fight for their "share."

2.Rwanda has only one leader who has being ruling them for more 20 years now since 1994:Paul Kagame;while Nigeria on the other hand, has had no less than 4 leaders in this period with lack of consistency in policies from every previous government.

3.The issue of regionalism also plays a role in selecting and electing our leaders unlike Rwanda where one man has always had his way without playythe regional card as it were with us.

4.Size:
Nigeria is more bigger than Rwanda in terms of land mass.I think 90 times bigger than Rwanda this also is crucial on how a nation is governed.

5.Nigerians population is more than 150 million while Rwanda is roughly around 12 million or more ,hence more citizens to cater for.

Sincerely speaking, comparing Rwanda to Nigeria is like comparing apples to onions-it does not follow.

You don't compare two incomparables; let's be fair in our analyses and conclusions.

jakezebrax:
Rwanda only began to succeed when they finally allowed the gifted Tutsi tribe (black Jews, related to the Igbos...see link) to assume power after years of discrimination. Very much like the Igbos, they Hutu and other minority tribes ganged up and massacred over 1 million Tutsi; out of hate they were successful and fear of domination. Same shit they have done and continue to do to Igbos in Nigeria! Now the Hutu and other tribes are enjoying the genious of Tutsi in shaping Rwanda to what it's today.

In 2015, Nigerians voted for a Paul Kagame, what they got was a Julius Nyerere.

The hatred of Nigeria has nothing to do with the high marks given to Rwanda. The progress there has been nothing but phenomenal.

No one is saying Rwanda is a rich country but it is growing very fast. It's per capita income is about a third of Nigeria's but it is spending its resources far better than Nigeria and the country should learn from them. Rwanda's ratings are not measured by what is seen online but what has been written about it. The transformation has been phenomenal.

Rwanda does deserve the praise considering where it is coming from and where it is headed to. No mirage here. You need to stop being contemptuous

What you wrote is utter nonsense. Rwanda was just fortunate to have Paul Kagame there. Finito. Just like the Singaporeans were fortunate to have Lee Kuan Yew.

idealogical:



Actually outside of the city center, much of the city and the rest of Rwanda is rural and underdeveloped, they don't even have electricity in half of the country, they've never seen electricity before in their life.

Considering per capita income is only $710, I am not surprised. However, where will the country be in 10 years time. South Korea in 1960 was probably as poor if not poorer than Nigeria but now almost 10 times richer than Nigeria. In 10 years times, if Rwanda keeps growing at this pace, a lot of the undeveloped areas now would have some development.

yes,Rwanda is a poor nation yet more than 90% coverage in health insurance. man, Rwanda is laying ground for the future. no matter GDP of a nation, without good foundation and planning,everything is doom.
