Economist my foot
Weren't you the same one praising trump when he said the US economy "grew" 30%,meanwhile it was just the economy growing from a yet to be recovered recession. And yet you won't take this sad
Hypocrite.

In that case there was a 30 percent growth , in this case there is a recorded shrink and no growth

More reason you can't be an economist
What happened was like a value 10 dropping to 4 and later increased to 8.
The "growth" you are talking about is that increase from 4 to 8.

Kudos to the Government of Nigeria and our great people for striving harder even in the face of adversity.

A good news for patriotic Nigerian citizens is a bad news for enemies of this country.

Fixed.

#. Since the civil war, we not had another strive over fourty yrs despite our diversities. Don't take it for granted.

#2. We've had democracy going now for the past two decades. At one point no one thought we could sustainable n democracy of two terms without the military intervening. it was not your protest that brought it. It just came through the same military that we call vile. That means their are good thinking people in there thinking on our behalf. Who want the system to work right as much as we do.

#3. We are the fastest growing economy in Africa still. Now am not comparing us to Europe or America. That's outside our range and won't be a honest neither a fair comparison. Compared to other Africans. We are either first or second..that's not a bad position to be.

And did I mention how decent our health institutions faired handling both the Ebola and corona virus. It praise worthy.
.that's why I said talk is cheap. Honor people when they do well. It's takes a lot of complex planning to make this things work.

This generation of youth have to pay homage to the ones struggling to keep it together and help honestly.




.


I disagree

1. We have had many racial tensions/uprisals, albeit not wars, but the Fulani herdsmen massacres are a prime example of that.

2. This country was established as a democracy under Queen Elizabeth II. Any deviation from that was illegal and unconstitutional. The fact you suggest that we should celebrate working within the remit of our law is quite frightening.

3. Fastest growing economy in Africa, but the margin is unknown. A margin of 0.000000011 percent for example ought not to be boasted about. Who says that the colonial master puppet didn’t fabricate this analysis, it’s not as if politics is a clean game.

(4.) Ebola and corona virus are temporal in the grand scheme of outbreak and effect. One day they will be both be yesterday’s news.

However, Tuberculosis, Cholera, Meningitis, Polio and MANY more sicknesses have been completely ERADICATED in other parts of the world. Yet, properly government managed and funded systematic treatment, not to talk of prevention is
IMPOSSICANT for the common man in 9Ja.

If an exam paper is out of 100, 3/100 would not even be graded, it will be marked as UNCLASSIFIED.

We cannot be seeing minimum levels of survival as something to praise government for. We may as well repatriate to the jungle. What are they being paid billions for if in the end we ought to ‘manage’

Truth is that we have been doing ok for our size.

Could we have done more. Yes. But we are not doing badly. Just being able to mentain peace is a stable form of advancement.

Not many nation's have this much diversities and terrorism challenges we have going.

We just saw the great American, how deeply divided they are irrespective of what their media display..we just saw how racist their own police can be, how flawed their electoral system is. How weak there health system can be. How unstable their politics can be. We all saw it. But we also saw how resilient they can be and how forward thinking they are.

We are not going to get everything right. But let's learn to celebrate our positives. Celebrate leaders when they do well and condenm them when they do poor. Talk is cheap and it's easy to criticize.

No one is going to defend your country for you. It's up to us to take a stand.

In my view, The youth have no business critizing their fathers without first postrating.

They may be bad, but if we are honest with ourselves we have shown potential that we can be worst. Honor your father's.

Criticize them only after you have greeted them. either way we look at it Life is hard.not Nigeria.

After recent events, I'm beginning to believe the West doesn't want Sub-Saharan Africa's growth. Take a look at Anglophone and Francophone African countries, none works. The country with the largest number of poor people in the world suddenly is the fastest growing with closed borders for more than a year o?
How can such closed economy be classified as the fastest growing? The Brexit crises, are the Brits not intent on signing up for trade deals across the world? Can Britain close her borders to trade for more than a year? Honestly, hitherto, I never accommodated the thought of the west being Africa's woes but with what I read and watch, it seems some folks want Africa destined to perpetual poverty. Which is why I'm ambivalent on the Woke culture and illegal immigration crises, they deserve everything!

Something fishy is going down.. Something fishy..

I have noticed a trend, the moment Nigeria wants to leave or stop borrowing money, world Bank and UK will come against it.

However, when we are head deep in problematic occurrences and recession, World Bank and UK will come out with congratulatory and praise singing of the Nigerian economy..

They are not taking any oil wealth. They are buying crude oil and cocoa just like other countries buy.

How have you idealogically rational people defend yourselves against being conquered by the ideologies of of the west yourselves. Since we are in the subject of conquest.

You are writing in their language, wearing their clothes. Your women even wear their hair on top of their head. and even you send your children as willing slave to them. Were is your own strength.

You show more docility than even the ones you previously mention.

Your comment though fair hasnt addressed the point. But thanks.

trying to act tough and strong.

Conquest is a natural human behavior.
It was not consistent with Africa alone. England raided and conquered other European nation's. So did the romance..men with the biggest swords rules. The world has not always been a civilized place.

Up till now America is rulling because they have the biggest bomb. Yes the biggest nuclear warheads belongs to them. They can afford to invade Iraq..even though they did not find any destructive weapon, they were not sanction. How many other stuff like that do you think they pull off without your knowledge and got away..did I mention libya.

If you say we being rule over was our choice, was it the choice of the Jews that be slaughtered by Hitler or the choice of ghadafi to be killed like a dog in his own country.

Naive. Bullying is a human behavior. They still raid Egypt for their acheological wealth till this day. Can you go to Egypt to collect their knowledge. What about our benin arts.

There were no cameras to tell what went down back then. You don't want to know what will happen when you standing in the way of men who are hell bend on world dominance.


The question is why can't Africa enlarge their swords and develop their weapons?? I'm not someone that makes excuses - China has enlarged their swords without blaming the West while Nigeria is using it's swords on innocent protesters.

Britain CREATED Nigeria. Thats the sad reality! It doesn't excuse our underachievements, but it sort of put things into a clearer perspective! Britain moulded this country, ruled it over half a century directly, handed over to their favorite slaves and has been pulling strings from afar ever since. As it regards influencing British politics, that's very possible. But most times, You just can't punch above your weight. Maybe if we did well administratively in building up this country, we can be in a position to influence politics in Britain. Some of her former colonies in Asia, like India or Pakistan can.. But it's a little different here. Personally, I believe that colonialism and neo-colonialism in Africa have always been tainted with base racism when compared to such acts elsewhere.. That's a story for another day shaaa

Wait so Luggard said Nigeria must now be called Nigeria and no body in the entire country opposed the new name? To be fair to Nigeria, Ojukwu opposed the Union which triggered a civil war but it was still Nigerians that fought against the break up of the Union that Luggard created. This makes any further blame of Luggard invalid. Let's think critically please.

I have never mentioned Lugard in any of the posts because I know like you rightly pointed out that Nigeria has had numerous opportunities to change course but refused.. I specifically talked about Britain as an imperial power. Essentially I was talking about the actions of Britain today, post independence, post Nigeria-Biafra war... Wasn't talking to about a man that died over a hundred years ago..

In business there's something called competitive advantage and comparative advantage.... Nigeria is not the only producer of crude oil. Boris Johnson has said by 2030 no 100% crude cars will be sold in UK. So you can see u r overvaluing your oil. They buy from other countries too....

Similarly Britain didn't want to be dependent on Africa for cocoa and they discovered it grows in Asia and started doing business there....

And is "our oil" really ours? Since the white man left has the oil money ever reached you? Let's think!

We are saying different things! You are talking about buying and selling, and I'm talking about wayward imperialism.. As per buying and selling of oil, We also sell to India and China. Those countries get their stakes in Nigerias oil industry by "competing" to win bids. Britain and co imposed Buhari and has been supporting all types of brutal leaders amenable to their interests here. Getting all sorts of kickbacks from the back door as a result. You may say, 'that's the game nations play', but as a citizen of the country at the receiving end who watches as his country goes through the endless pangs of poverty that follows with such intrusion, I have a right to object!
