''South Africa's economy has been on a downward slope since 2017 and our own has been on an upward slope since that time abi ?

It is good that we progress but our progress should be as a results of improvements and not another nation's poorer performance.

DZTech:
point of correction:

u guys didn't overtake south Africa; their economy FELL, dts y ur in front!

now, answer dis analogy-
man 1 earns 100k, has 5 children and owes 30k he used to complete his children's school fees

man 2 earns 80k, has 2 children and owes 10k he used to buy pure water and drinks to sell

who's richer?
which of d two do u think is Nigeria?
qed

CanadaOrBust:
It is “they performed WORSE than us” NOT worst. You only use “worst” if u r comparing more than two things.

I see this on NL all the time and it has really started to irke me. I’ve now decided to correct it every time I see it

DModeCntStopMe:


What for?

Thought they just got several millions of dollars of abacha loot from US and EFCC recovered several billions of naira stashed at CBN,

Also FIRS tripled their revenue to 5 trillion naira, VAT increased to 7.5 from 5% meaning more money for the govt, subsidy was removed,

TSA has recouped several trillions of naira, several millions of dollars discovered at ikoyi towers, over 500 billion naira saved from ghost workers etc...

I ask again, what do they need the money for?

Are these monies not enough to handle any project?

And buhari is still fighting corruption?

When the foundation is faulty what can the righteous do?

Nigeria is/was a mistake

DNSPro:
Ighalo is not a great player.. He is just average with God's favour his side, so what are you guys expecting from him? Ronaldo kind of result?

Uchek:
Are you not ashamed that Nigeria with at least 200 million people is being compared with South Africa with one-third of its population?

chukel:
Nigerians are totally horrible. How people will stay and be so unpatriotic baffles me. You wish the country in which you live bad. Is that not a psychiatric disorder. I was travelling by road yesterday and I was all smiles as I drove on the enugu/PH road being worked on by this government. God will continue to bless buhari.

MansoryMX:
You call stone rice giving people kidney stone lucrative? How is this an achievement. Nigeria is still in recession and govt dey brainwash as usual. Floating the economy to make it look good in the eyes of the media. Guy! Nor make me talk this nite. Quietly go to bed abeg.

MansoryMX:
South Africa as an economy in recession is far far better than Nigeria. You people should have some shame in this dead country. Our zero % in terms of security and 1000% in corruption is more than enough to put us at last position when comparing countries with standards in Africa.

nameo:
The reason why you just overtook SA again is that they just entered their 2nd recession within the period.

''Nigeria’s economic growth beat forecasts in the fourth quarter, helping its economy to expand the most in four years in 2019 as oil output increased and the central bank took steps to boost credit growth. GDP in the West African country stood at $476 billion or $402 billion, depending on the rate used.

South Africa’s economy went the opposite direction...''

If Biafra were independent nation from 1966 to date, the country will be dragging economic might with Asian tigers like China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia etc. Biafra would have launch Africa positively on the world map as a black economy powerhouse. A people that organized themselves to manufacture Amoured tanks and spectacular weapons from scratch to hold Nigeria for 3 good years to the amazement of America and Europe shows the ability and ingenuity of Biafrans. Imagine them channeling that same energy and spirit to develop their economy. The black race would have gain more respect. But because of the virus of one Nigeria, that reality was dashed.
Nigeria is nothing but a glorified village. A country cursed with poor infrastructure, can't even boast of a world class city. Countries like Ivory Coast have better and well developed cities than Nigeria.
The fact that the God forsaken country is even struggling economically with South Africa is enough to call Nigeria a failed state. South Africa's economy is far more developed in manufacturing, service industry, commerce, power, infrastructure than Nigeria.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

Nigeria, South Africa make up half of sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP

bkbaybe99:
Ok, another interesting discovery I made recently about the entity called Nigeria; The Niger Delta Region DOES NOT belong to the ibos. I have always  been under the misconception that it belonged to them, thus, their constant complaints of being wronged, marginalized, and cheated. I also, wrongly, assumed that the militants in The Niger-Delta was made up of  the Ibos. This begs the question, if the Region does not belong to the ibos, why are they hell bent on taking it as theirs?!? Articles I've read since show clearly that the Ibos have the Region in their plans when they finally leave Nigeria. Will they be better 'masters' to the Niger-Deltans (if Nigeria splits) than the Northerners presently are to them? I doubt that any group in Nigeria would want to join a new nation where they will be the clear minority.

  The argument that happened this past weekend pitted two Niger-Deltans (one was from Port-Harcourt in Bayelse state, i think. I jotted all this down so if I make any mistakes in spelling forgive me) against 3 ibos (family members) and a yoruba friend who came with the ibos who surprisingly (or maybe not) took sides with the Niger-Deltans (I called them 'deltans' and they took umbrage. They explained that they arent Deltans; I dont remember now their explanation.lol). I dont think the ibo guys will be friends with the yoruba  anymore after this weekend's argument.

   Anyways, the ibos insisted that the Niger Delta had no choice but to come with them if a Biafran nation was declared tommorrow; the Niger Deltans vehemently opposed this and stated that they would rather die than go form a nation with majority ibos. The ibos retort was , then die they would because come hail or sleet the Niger Delta wasnt going anywhere but with Biafra. Their statements shocked me!!! How can you force a people, that has fears of discrimination, to come with you??!?! To go do what, go back into the slavery they are running from? The Niger Deltans said they would never go with the ibos but would instead set up their own nation, OR, they would join a nation of other minorities of some states in present day Nigeria. According to them, discussions are already underway for these minority states to form their own nation (advantage being that there wont be a clear majority) independent of all the major tribes in Nigeria in the even of the inevitable split that is bound to soon engulf the nation.

   The Yoruba guy insisted that the Niger-Delta had the choice to go 'on its own' if they didnt want to be part of Biafra; of course our Ibo buddies didnt find his statement funny in anyway. Furthermore, he informed us that one of the reasons Ojukwu was quick to go to war was because he had every intention of controlling the oil of the indigenous Niger Deltans. I was shocked (although I think I've heard something to this effect before) because if his claims were true, that means Ojukwe clearly had selfish motives for planning a war against its more powerful Nigerian neighbors.

    So, Im asking a simple question, if the Niger Delta does not belong to the Ibos why do they have their eyes on it? Why do they invoke it, always , in their cries for a seperate state? Someone please explain!!!!

wirinet:
My brother keep educating them. It's we ourselves that is damaging our reputation outside. We wash and dry our dirty linens for the whole world to see, while others hide theirs. You will hardly see other people rubbish their country to outsiders. Even Syria, Bangladesh, Somalians, Congo, who live in worst conditions that us don't go trying to destroy their country. You will see Ghana, Rwanda, Angola, Vietnam and many country's citizen laundering the image of their countries online. They only show the few urban cities they have. They hide the vast majority of the villages where you find abject poverty, where majority of the population lives. Many practically believe these countries are better than Nigeria.

No matter what indices you use, Nigeria is not the worst in the world.

In terms of wealth and income inequality, ie the gap between the rich and poor, South Africa is the worst in the world, Nigeria is no. 35 from bottom - https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/04/02/598864666/the-country-with-the-worlds-worst-inequality-is
In the US, over 38 million Americans live below the poverty line - https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759512938/u-s-census-bureau-reports-poverty-rate-down-but-millions-still-poor

In terms of corruption, Nigeria is not the worst, we are around No. 140 out of 179 countries. It terms of perception, Nigerians think we are the most corrupt nation of earth.

That we have huge problems cannot be denied, we have corrupt and inept government at all levels, we have huge social integration issues, we have huge infrastructural deficits, but we should not forget the fact that many countries are grappling with their own issues too.

tsdarkside:
you see,Rossinnki....
i told you....

no matter what you say to them,it will not matter....

they are white-brainwashed....

to test them, ask if jeesus christ was black or white....??
then you will know to dont bother....

Lol everyone knows Nigeria is 3rd world country with unreliable crime stats. Even South africa is more reliable than you excuse mongers. Instead you to admit that basic truth you want tell dumb lies about UN stats being fake when they're cited by your government.

Blue3k:
Lol typical nigerian excuse mongering. China and US have more people and get it done. You'll say because they're rich. South Africa gets it done they have less people to count. At the end of the day there's always something to blame.

tsdarkside:
na me you dey ask....??
they are white-brainwashed....

they are conditioned to think that a white cant tell a lie....

ContractKiller:
Again, go back and read the original post and my reply. Are you saying SARS is not doing worse in Nigeria? Where are the Nigerian records of police brutality? You live in a shithole country which doesn't value keeping statistics, so nobody knows the extent of police brutality in Nigeria, unlike in the US where they keep records and even pay compensation to victims of police brutality.

tsdarkside:
and unemployment stats is cooked up too....
its has been happenin for decades....

and you will have africans still developin hailin them day and night....

nawa....

Blue3k:



Lol you're just a dense liar as proven by this thread. You're government is just slow at getting stats out. We're in 2020 wait for 2018 stats. Even the south Africa is more competent that NBS theyve already published 2019 stats. The us stats you published for 2018 were made available 2019. It's typical for losers in Nigeria to give a million excuses though.



Lol even with NBS and UN partnership you still have gull to lie. You woke propagandist have no sense. The stats have been unreported as anyone with common sense knows. The curent stats woule make nigeria one safest countries on the world comparable to UK but thats a lie.

You dont know how calculate per 100k stats so you wouldnt know that. You really believe Nigeria suddenly dropped from having 5.4 per 100k homicide rate to 1.2 in 15 years?

Blue3k:
[s][/s]

Lol your second point is foolish lie. The data is the same.

UN NBS joint survey show it's grossly unreported.

Blue3k:
[s][/s]


Lol this circle clown proved my point. The countru hasn't published new stats in two years. What an irresponsible set if clowns at the NBS. Its the same thing they did with unemployment stats.

Sonoyom:
You should have given me a link to the website. The Nigerian police that cannot tell the number of casualties in a crime scene has a records of yearly deaths in Nigeria? Or is it the NBS that does not know about the number of unemployed youths in Nigerian that has a record? WE DON'T HAVE RECORDS ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA. It was reported that the 1999 and 2003 election results might be missing. I didn't ask for much i asked you to show me a website that is comprehensive and here you are spitting trash from your maggot infested brain. Bas+ard! This is a public forum you should be concerned about the rate at which you call people dumb because even telling me that the Nigerian Police has a database or record is the dumbest thing i heard this year. I am waiting to see the link.

Mention one state that is held by Boko Haram in the US

Subzero047:
This Nigeria is safer than the US

Lol you're lies have been exposed. I gave you the links you cant even cite any nigerian data becsuse your country hasnt published any in two years clown. They collected the data with assistance from NBS and still whining.

The poverty stats also the same ones used by your government but you idioticly claim they're fake. Go to the NBS website you'll see the same numbers punlished.

Lol its pathetic nigeria calls itself the giant of africa but cant even maintain good records like south Africa consistently. The violence and per capita crime rate is much higher than America abd probably some african nations.

Sonoyom:
Can you show us a government website that has any statistics or records of death in Nigeria?
The fact that the United States can keep of an almost accurate record of their citizens (dead or alive) says a lot about safety and security. Can you have a building in Nigeria without burglary proof? Even my church need a burglary proof when Air Conditioning units were installed. If an emergency situation is playing out, what is the average response time of our security agencies? Let's just leave it at that.
