Like comparing darkness and light. The Republic,Democrats,Conservative and Labour party members built the greatest civilizations ever created in mankind , that people are risking their live from Nigeria crossing through the Sahara Desert and Mediterrean Sea to get to.

While PDP,APC and APGA created the worst civilization that is the poverty and corruption capital of the world that lacks basic amenities and is a failed state.
But you are exposed now..

Is Biden the most credible person in Democrats, Harris not bad though..

With how controversial Trump is, is he the only credible person in Republicans?

I have the following questions:

1) When Peter Obi does his annual medical checkup, which hospital in Anambra does he go?
2) When he turns on his tap is the water from Anambra Water Corporation?
3) Can he send any of his children to any of the public schools or university in Anambra?
4) When he flushes his toilet, is there an underground sewage treatment plan it is disposed off?
5) Can he move around the state without a security convoy?
6) Can Anambra state residents boast of 24 hour electricity?
Lol... Bro... See quession grin

Peter Obi is no different than Tinubu, only difference is that he has a better media team than Tinubu.
He founded 2 banks and employed 1000s of Nigerians before he became a governor... What was Tinubu’s job before he became a governor?

Your smarter than this brah!USA has strong institutions and it does not revolve around individuals. USA will always have 24 hour electricity,best education institutions,best road network and other amenities.

I have been to United States twice, so I know that I am saying.

Rochas Okorocha,Orji Kalu and Lucky Igbinedion can also claim they employed thousands as well before they got to office. Peter Obi failed in governance and that is why he is known as the Chinaman, always quoting China up and down and can't point to what he did for his state.

They have 24 hour electricity, but are protesting against a corrupt regime, which is fairly tame compared to the fantastically corrupt bandits that rule us.

The TERRORISTS from Futa Jalon, together with the Europeans that install them in power, won't allow Nigeria to develop above & beyond their manipulation. Mentioning their names is considered HATE SPEECH.
And they told Obasanjo and Goatluck too not to develop Nigeria in the 14 wasted years they spent in power. You need psychiatric examination.

Peter can point at companies he founded.. one of which is publicly traded. Can you list what Tinubu had created b4 becoming a governor.

United Arab Emirates with a population Of 9.6 million people generates 10,200 megawatts of electricity, which is more than than the 5420 megawatts peak Nigeria recently hit.

Prior to 1961 it had neither running water nor electricity. Dubai didn't get electricity, or its first paved road, until 1961. Running water arrived a few years later.

This is due to the effects of visionary leadership and the judicious use of oil revenue.
I HAVE TOLD YOU TO GO AND LEARN SIMPLE MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC, YOU SELF-HATING DUNCE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER.

Look at the two nations you are comparing with your dumb head.

UAE population - 9.6 milion

UAE Oil reserves - 97,800 million barrels

UAE oil production per year - 1133 million barrels

UAE annual budget - 50 billion dollars


Nigeria population - 200 million

Nigeria Oil reserves - 36.972 million barrels

Nigeria oil production per year - 730 million barrels

Nigeria annual budget 35 billion dollars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_proven_oil_reserves


So, here we have a country of under 10 million people, with TWICE Nigeria's oil reserves and DOUBLE Nigeria's yearly output, making roughly DOUBLE what Nigeria makes from oil and gas per year, and yet you are posting a thread comparing the two and asking why Nigeria does not produce as much of whatever as UAE.

I mean, is your IQ really this low?

UAE can invest UNTOLD AMOUNTS into any project they wish, in ANY quantity they wish.

What else will they do with their money?

Less than 1 billion dollars can comfortably feed and house their 9 million population in a year.

Their leaders can steal 3/4 of their annual budget and still be able to invest billions of dollars into power each MONTH.

Their leaders are the richest oil sheikhs who deposit billions into their bank accounts each month and live in huge mansions in Europe and America.

SO GROW A DAMN BRAIN, AND STOP COMPARING A STRUGGLING NATION LIKE NIGERIA, WITH ITS TINY OIL INCOME FOR 200 MILLION FOLKS, AND IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION, TO TINY OIL RICH GULF STATES DROWNING IN MONEY WITH NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SAID MONEY. COMPRENDE?
Re: UAE With Population Of 9.6 Million Generates More Electricity Than Nigeria by Nobody: 3:42pm On Aug 22, 2020
Rossikk

You claim Nigeria is poor then answer these questions:

1) Why did the governors that rule/ruled over failed states give themselves multi-billion life pensions?
2) Why do we have the highest paid National Assembly members?
3) Why does President Buhari and the Governors run to UK,Germany,UAE for medical treatment at state expense?
4) Why do they move in convoys with the most expensive luxury vehicles such as Range Rovers,Mercedes,BMW,Lexus etc?
5) Why did military generals and politicians loot $600 billion dollars since 1960?
6) Why do they always travel by private jet and why do we have 7 Jets in the presidential fleet?
7) Why is provision of portable water,open drainage,sewage,world class universities.road network and electricity rocket science only in Nigeria?

And a much smaller population

The UAE has less than 15 million people. Nigeria has ten times that and a bit. The UAE and Nigeria produce the same amount of oil.

Also, everyone in the UAE pays their power bills. Not like Nigeria where in some areas less than 50% of disco subscribers pay (and people bypass their meters if available)

Comparing Nigeria and the UAE is like comparing two families who are on the same income, yet one family has ten children, the other has two. Which family would look richer?

The UAE is just like Nigeria. It is an oil dependent society. They just have far more money to keep the IMF away

You keep making excuses for the massive and fantastical corruption that has happened since 1960.

"The problem of Nigeria is not money but how to spend it", remember when former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, made that statement in the 70's? What was Nigeria population then.

Ghana once sold cocoa to the tune of $2 billion. Mars chocolate bought part of that cocoa and used it to make products worth $17 billion.


That's why Nigeria and Ghana and most African countries are poor.

I used to believe we was rich, till I actually studied what rich countries do to be rich.

My saying that we are.poor does not excuse poor leadership or looting. Or Buhari. In fact we are poor because our leaders prefer to sell our raw materials abroad for processing....when we could be much more than that

Rich countries put the best and brighest in charge of their Nations. Nigeria does the opposite, put leaders with the lowest I.Q's and criminal tendencies ranging from drug barons, fraudsters and ritualists in charge.

Let Nigerian leaders from 1960 till present manage UK,Netherlands,Germany,United States and Canada and come back ten years later. You will see failed states.

Actually the first two good leaders of Nigeria were very good, the leadership of Tafawa Balewa and Azikiwe was exceptional as well as awolowo and others, their leadership was amazing and Nigeria was doing very well up until the 80s, before then Nigeria was a very good country.

Bro forget population think of the brain of the people occupying the land.

The major problem is Nigerians leaders don't believe in the country and refuse to emulate what they see in Dubai and Europe. The President ran to London, England for over 100 days to treat a medical ailment and the first lady ran to Dubai to treat neck pain.

Re: UAE With Population Of 9.6 Million Generates More Electricity Than Nigeria by Nobody: 2:37pm On Aug 23, 2020
Rossikk spreads fake news.

It is only after 2007 UAE started producing more oil than Nigeria. They utilized their oil resources judiciously, even though the monarchs became very wealthy from the oil proceeds.

Send Nigerian leaders in APC,PDP and APGA to manage UAE and watch what happens to the country after 5 years.
