Please go on Google and search for "Number of ethnic groups in China." And then search for "Number of ethnic groups in Nigeria." This search will give you an idea why it is so hard for Nigeria to progress. China has ten times the population of Nigeria, but we have 5 times more ethnic groups than they have.

In simple terms can you explain how numerous ethnic groups are a stumbling block to economic growth ?

Lmao who told you all indians speak Hindi.just 26 percent of indians speak Hindi as their mother tongue.

Are you Indian? Or do you live in India? Where did you get your information from?

babyfaceafrica:
False they have 23 languages hindu is just official like English...... E. G of languages include Bengal, Tamil, urdu, sankrit

Actually does 23 languages are just the official languages.

India has several hundreds of languages.

The dude you quoted is probably just using Bollywood to generalise.

You are a Nairalander...I'm sure you see how Igbo and Yoruba people fight everyday here. You also know how people would rather have someone from their ethnic group as the president, even if the person is incapable. How will a country progress when it is made up of too many ethnic groups that can't get along. Some people are even happy when things go bad so that they can laugh at people from the ethnic group of the president, or people that support the president.

I don't have to be Indian before knowing that Hindi is not the only language in India.

Just Google " languages of India " and " percentage of Indians that speak Hindi "

The truth is that Nairaland is not real life .

In real life we don't really see igbos and yorubas you fighting up and down

@ the bolded , you are right.

In Nigeria we may be over 350 ethnic groups , but remember that most of those 350 are in the North and the North thinks with one mind.

They act like one and Northerners are United by a common language which is Hausa.

Lol. That's because they hide how they feel. Nairaland is the perfect representation of how Nigerians really feel. This is a faceless forum, so people can express how they truly feel.

babyfaceafrica:
We have not moved at all.. What is the difference between 1963 Nigeria and 2020 Nigeria.. We are regressing..

Not completely true. Certainly if you look at Europe the Middle ages or some call it Dark Ages lasted from the 5th Century to the 15th Century. That is a heck of a lot of time! But we could have leapfrogged all this in the same way Dubai and Singapore have done so why havent we?

The main reason is we are a country with an extraordinarily high friction rate. It's difficult getting things done but we a lot of this friction owes to the fact that you have over 50 different nationalities bunged up together with differing views, outlooks and culture. Friction filled tribal relationships have not helped.

But why am I so hopeful.

An entirely new country is being built around human capital, technology and innovation. Nigeria is the clear leader in numbers of innovation hubs, tech funding is huge and most of it is local. The new wealth isnt crude oil but people. Why isnt it changing things? Well, a lot of graduates are badly educated but entitled. They want the old economy where you go and work in a company or they become life coaches spreading ignorance and narrow perspectives in their trail. They wont get it. It's gone, dead, kaput!

Sure weve had horrid leaders but that doesnt completely explain why we are where we are. I wont go into that.

But we have made progress - huge progress. Think of Nigeria 30 years ago with an archaic telecoms system, low bandwidth, relying on 100% fossil fueled domestic energy, ( today some of us are off grid using solar), crumbling state schools and almost no private hospital system. There was no HMO, international travel was restricted to very few privileged people and income mobility was extremely narrow. Today there has been progress, not as much as we would have liked

Initial progress in any country like Nigeria is private sector led. The malls are redefining shopping, cinemas lifestyle, payment systems are creating frictionless transactions and housing developments are moving from grand luxury to income directed accomodation. You no longer need to know the bank manager to access credit.
What needs to happen is that Government needs to expand opportunities for private sector by opening up the country with rail and motorways. This is exactly what is happening.

I am a pre independence person so heck I might not see as much of the future as the really young people but believe me you are staring at a much brighter horizon than say 40 years ago. But it wont come on a plat you have to know your sectors and build the appropriate skills and networks.

You said "just 26% of Indians speak Hindi." That "JUST" in your statement is like Hindi is like implying Hindi is a minor language in Indian. But it is the most widely spoken language in India...43% speak it (not 26%)...so tell, me which other Indian language has almost half the population speaking it?

Re: Wode Maya: ''They Lied To Us About Nigeria'' by RaptorX: 10:23am On Jan 17, 2020

I have been following the guys channel for a while since when he was living in China. He goes around African countries with his Kenyan girlfriend and they show the side of Africa you don't see on CNN, he has a lot of black Americans and people from the Caribbean following his channel who are very eager to visit Africa because of his travels. So kudos to him.

I said just 26 percent because you said that ALL indians speak just one language , Hindi.

In India just like Nigeria they also experience ethnic clashes leading to the loss of lives.
