- Global electrification rate reached 89 per cent; the number of people without electricity access dropped to around 840 million, compared to 1 billion in 2016 and 1.2 billion in 2010.

- Under current policies, an estimated 8 per cent of the global population will not have access to electricity in 2030, 90% of them will be in sub-Saharan Africa.

- Stronger political commitment, long-term energy planning, increased private financing and adequate policy and fiscal incentives will be crucial to achieving universal access.

Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2019 shows that despite the progress, reaching the remaining unserved people, including those connected to frail and overburdened urban grids, as well as displaced people, and hard-to-reach locations, will be challenging. An estimated 650 million people will be left without electricity access in 2030.

The report tracks global, regional and country progress on the three targets of SDG7: access to energy and clean cooking, renewable energy and energy efficiency. It identifies priorities for action and best practices that have proven successful in helping policymakers and development partners understand what is needed to overcome challenges.

Among countries with the largest population without access to electricity, Bangladesh, Kenya, Myanmar, and Sudan have made the most progress. Among the least electrified countries, South Sudan, Guinea-Bissau and the Central African Republic electrified at around 3 percentage points each year since 2010. Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Nepal are currently among the fastest electrifying countries.

Maintaining and extending the pace of progress will require strong political commitment, long-term energy planning, stepped-up private financing and adequate policy and fiscal incentives. Combining grid and off-grid solutions, including solar lighting, solar home systems, and increasingly mini-grids, will be crucial. The issue of reliability and affordability can’t be ignored. One-third of access-deficit countries face more than one disruption in electricity supply per week. Basic electricity was unaffordable for 40 percent of households in about half of these countries.

Significant efforts have been made to deploy renewable energy technology for electricity generation and to improve energy efficiency across the world. However, access to clean cooking solutions and the use of renewable energy in heat generation and transport are still lagging far behind the goals.

Maintaining and extending the pace of progress in all regions and sectors will require stronger political commitment, long-term energy planning, increased private financing and adequate policy and fiscal incentives to spur faster deployment of new technologies.

"A couple of analysts on the internet are not most analysts out there. Why are you giving them so much credence? You can’t actually make an argument for yourself 😂 I haven’t twisted or lied about anything. I literally showed you the comparison of the Indian and botswanna passport. Indian one is better for more developed countries and offcourse it will be because developed countries would see Indians as better off than blacks. Blacks destroy whatever they touch."

You literally didn't show any comparison, you just talked out of your ass because you were flat out lying.

If you were blind the first time, this are both side by side again, Passport Index is one of the most reputable passport Websites in the world, so sh*t up and stop lying... Outside of Asia, it's not even a contest in any other continent, but yet, you keep on lying out of your ass😂😂😂. Stop f*cking lying, Indians can barely go anywhere outside of Asia Visa-free that isn't a tourist destination, and those countries f*cking give free visas to everyone, this is something you're seeing, but yet, still continue to deny😂😂😂. You've been lying throughout this conversation😂😂😂... The funny part is Botswanans still have more Visa-Free destination in the Tourist countries more than India😂😂😂; both passports ain't even a contest. You've lied so much that you've resulted to Jagons now.

You can't read an Asia is one of the most developed regions on earth. Its the richest continent in terms of GDP on earth.

Developed Countries (Visa-free or visa-on-arrival):
• Botswana has easier access to certain European countries and the UK, offering visa-free access to many of them.
• India, on the other hand, generally requires a visa to most Western developed countries (like the US, Canada, Australia, Schengen Area, and UK). However, India still has wider global access compared to Botswana in regions like Asia and Oceania.
2. Asia & Oceania:
• The Indian passport provides much better access to Asia and Oceania (including major economic powers like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and others). India has visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries in these regions, whereas Botswana does not have the same level of access here

You make a very imported point. What the point off 24/7 power when only big cities get them. South Africa has 24/7 power and covers the majority of the country. But if just one of our power plants shuts down we get brown outs and the new plants are some way from completion.

South Africa doesn’t have constant power. They also have daily outages 😂 that’s a very big lie. South Africa’s electricity access rate is not High enough for it to be universal. South Africans on average experience up to 6 hours a day of no power. It’s not as unstable as Nigeria where it’s like 8-10+ hours. But to call it stable is ludicrous.

Connectivity in SA is around 90% 2019 from 35% in 1994.
It was 84%in 2011


90% is no where few.

It’s only 86.5% but that’s still largely epileptic. You actually have to leave Sub-Saharan Africa to see stable electricity. Universal electricity doesn’t exist in Africa with the exception of the north.

Rossikk:
I see where you're coming from. But the issue is not so much ''24 hrs power supply'', as ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY. What's the point in having 24/7 power supply when only 40% of your country is connected to your national grid, with those in the rural areas generally cut off from such services? This is the case with many developing countries that boast of ''24/7 power supply''. More than most African nations, Nigeria has made great strides in extending the national grid to rural areas, which may account for more 'load shedding' or power rationing than other African countries where power supply is limited to a few cities and towns plus the capital. Nigerians visit these places and get carried away by the illusion of 24/7 power they experience in those favoured locations, never venturing into the inner country.

There is actually no sub Saharan African country. None of them
Have anywhere near the 99% access rate that is seen in the rest of the world.sub Saharan Africa is the only region on earth to not have constant power.

None of the countries in Africa bar the ones in the north have electricity. Its all epileptic. There is no sub Saharan African country with constant power. North Africa is the only one with constant power.

jmoore:
Moving out from Nigeria because of poor electricity supply is ridiculous. Use the funds that you want to japa with and buy solar to power your home.

It’s not just bad electricity but also dangerous roads and poor infrastructure. Nigerian infrastructure is either non existent or dilapidated. Every African country is like that. Nigerian road are far more dangerous than virtually anywhere on the planet. Not everyone wants to reside in a zoo.

God1000:
Algeria, Morocco, Rwanda, Mauritius, Namibia, Botswana, cape Verde

Alternatively you can relocate to places where there's constant power supply in Nigeria

None of the black African ones do. Satellite images confirm this. It’s only North Africa that does.

Asian Giants?, what, there's currently only one Asian super power.

If it's started affecting, cool... At the end of the day, Botswana currently has a better standard of living; a huge fundamental human right from everybody is to have a better standard of living. Standard of living encompasses many regions, and the fact that Botswana is still picked comfirms that, you are the one that are staunchly into metrics, so i don't know why you have a problem with that now.

If you don't accept it, that's your business, it's never going to change until India actually becomes better... Given their future projections, i do hope it works even with all the Systemic issues, like i said before, i'm not like you an Uncle Tom, i actually hope the best for people.

And by the way, using Skyscrapers is really dumb, that still doesn't change the issues in the country... I could go to Sweden, a country with almost no Skyscrapers, take a picture, and go to a skyscraper region of India and take a picture; ignorant fools will be WOWed thinking the worse one is actually the better one🤷🤷🤷... By the way, that's not India, that's Singapore.

In all of this your victim ranting, you still didn’t address my main contention which is that electricity has problem in Africa that is quite literally not seen in the rest of the world. Every country even the richest ones have power outages. But with the Exception of North Africa, Sub Saharan Africa is the ONLY region in the world where constant electricity is something that the populace doesn’t have and that includes Botswana. Botswana is not even fully electrified at 72% of the population. The 72% that does have it will receive electricity that is on and off during the day like any other African nation. Africa is a joke
most of the people without power in the world are in Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular, has the highest percentage of people without access to electricity globally.

Key Facts:
• Sub-Saharan Africa is home to more than half of the world’s population without electricity access, with estimates indicating that around 600 million people in the region lack access to power.
• As of recent data, approximately 75% of people without access to electricity globally live in Sub-Saharan Africa

North Africa is the only region of Africa to have constant electricity. Nowhere else does not even Kenya or South Africa.

Most of Africa was still pitch black at night and that includes Botswana.

You’re just another pathetic delusional Afrocentrist that doesn’t want to accept that blacks are a failed race. You tried comparing a country that doesn’t even have constant electricity as only 72% of Botswanna has electricity.

And most analysts are not agreeing that Botswanna is a successful country 😂 you believe anything you read. You can’t make your own viewpoint.

There are things happening in Africa that simply don’t happen in other parts of the world. When it comes to human rights, Africa is the worst of the worst. No other continent has a problem with albino persecutions or witch hunts or ritual killings. Why did you go quiet on the other issues?😂😂because deep down you know that your wrong. Even though those might not happen in Botswana as they do in other countries. They still happen. What about the violent eviction of the San people in Botswana?

It is a thing in almost all of countries. There is no African country out there with a decent human rights record. The continent is a jungle. Indians don’t practice FGM or any of those practices anywhere near to the same extent that botswanna and Africa does. When your thousands of years behind the rest of the world. You can’t be surprised to still have a backward system.
Witchcraft accusations do exist in Botswana. They still discriminate and kill albinos and use them for rituals. They don’t really do that in India.Witchcraft beliefs and related social stigma do exist in some rural communities of Botswanna.The government has faced international criticism for forcibly removing the San from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve for conservation and development purposes. All of the human rights abuses that Africa is critiqued of happen in Botswana but jsut at a smaller scale because the population there is much smaller than most other African countries.

Bro just give up and accept it that blacks can’t build a successful nation. There was already nairaland thread about successful African countries and it wasn’t in reference to Botswana😂 their electricity is not even stable 😂😂😂😂. Technology of 200 years ago. They never crack am and you want to say the country is successful. They can’t even do the basics.

Stop lying. India and Botswanna are closer than you think. India wins in Oceania and Asia, Botswanna wins in Europe and South America but India wins in the carribean.they tie in North America.

Most of the visa free countries that Botswana goes to is in Africa. That’s not impressive. Indian passports gets you into more developed regions. Indians do way better abroad which makes this passport argument of yours useless😂

‘Your lies are actually getting pathetic now, you are looking for all ways to claim a point that most of the world doesn't agree with you on; next thing, dude will start saying Passport Index, one of the world's most reputable Passport websites is spilling lies😂😂😂...

Indian passport does actually have better access to more developed countries.

India generally has better access to Western countries and more developed countries.

Reasons:
1. Europe: India has more visa-free access to developed countries in Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.
2. North America: While both India and Botswana require visas for the U.S. and Canada, India has more visa-free access to Caribbean nations, which are often considered part of the Western sphere due to cultural and economic ties.
3. Global Travel: India’s passport provides easier access to more countries worldwide, including major economies, compared to Botswana’s more limited access to the Western world

Most of the countries a botswanna passport gets to Europe visa free are impoverished ones in Eastern Europe.

1. Europe
• India:
• Visa-free access to Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Moldova, Montenegro, and Georgia.
• Visa-on-arrival or Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, and many others (Schengen Zone countries require a Schengen visa).
• Botswana:
• Visa-free access to United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and a few other European countries.

Comparison:
• India has more access to Schengen Zone countries and a larger list of European countries with visa-free or ETA access. However, Botswana has stronger access to specific European countries like the UK and Germany.

2. Asia
• India:
• Visa-free access to Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Israel, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Maldives.
• Visa-on-arrival or ETA access to several others.
• Botswana:
• Visa-free access to Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Israel, and Hong Kong.

Comparison:
• India has more comprehensive access to developed countries in Asia, with several countries offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival options, particularly in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

3. Oceania
• India:
• Visa-free access to Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea.
• Botswana:
• Visa-free access to Fiji, Vanuatu.

Comparison:
• India has slightly more access to developed Oceania nations like Samoa and the Cook Islands.

4. North America
• India:
• Visa-free access to Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, and a few others in the Caribbean.
• Botswana:
• Visa-free access to the Bahamas and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

1) The fact that some analyst said Botswana is a successful nation doesn't mean it is true. You can't be dumb enough to believe everyone on the Internet. How can a country that doesn't even have constant power be successful?

😂😂😂 It is not "some" analyst you fool, it is the general consensus, you are the literally the delusional exception, that is why i always laugh when you talk about Botswana, this is not "some" analyst, this is most analysts; but lets listen to the idiot on Nairaland, because he is the best and knows more than most analysts😂😂😂... You can rant as much as you want, it doesn't change this fact, you can insult Africa as much as you want, it still doesn't change this fact.

By the way, 98 countries and 58 is negligible, but 45 is useless, talk about a delusional fool, did you do maths at all or even know what negligability is.

This dude really said Botswana and India passport is negligible, who is actually this delusional f*ck called Sladem, it's not even a contest. Outside of Asia, Botswana wins in every regard bar Oceania were it's a tie; and Asia is even understandable, if they win you in your own continent, then you are beyond gone... And even then, most Asian countries still wouldn't allow Indians in without a visa, most still put them on the Visa-on-Arrival list.

It's really funny when you said "some analyst", indirectly denoting one, someone needs to break it to him that it's most; but i guess i should listen to the Nairaland user because he must be right over most analysts, definitely, he has to be😂😂😂... Imagine laughing a continent about feaces, and the placeholder country he's using to mockingly attack is literally known the world over for its open faeces issue; at least if you're going to make a mockery of something, use something that doesn't come back to bite you.

Anyway, i stopped listening to you a long time ago, and i'm tired of your self-contradicting Anecdotal BS, that's why i always just end with "Peace" now; because you've contradicted yourself several times, and i was done listening to all that rubbish a long time ago.

Don't worry, i will rather listen to most analysts general consensus on Botswana, rather than listen to some Nairaland user; you're the projections/analysts guy, so you should understand my decision, peace✌🏾.

‘😂😂😂 It is not "some" analyst you fool, it is the general consensus, you are the literally the delusional exception, that is why i always laugh when you talk about Botswana, this is not "some" analyst, this is most analysts; but lets listen to the idiot on Nairaland, because he is the best and knows more than most analysts😂😂😂...

General consensus😂 there are literally thousands of analysts. Not every analysts out there is going to say that Botswana is successful.you don’t know every analysts out there. You’re so naive it’s hilarious, what an analysts says is irrelevant. What they say is not necessarily true.

‘By the way, 98 countries and 58 is negligible, but 45 is useless, talk about a delusional fool, did you do maths at all or even know what negligability is.

And even then, most Asian countries still wouldn't allow Indians in without a visa, most still put them on the Visa-on-Arrival list’

It’s irrelevant because most of the countries that botswanna can go visa free are in Africa. 😂India wins in most regions

Africa: Botswana dominates with visa-free access to over 30 countries, thanks to SADC agreements. India lags, offering access to only a few nations like Mauritius and Seychelles.

Asia: India excels with visa-free/visa-on-arrival access to 20+ countries, including Nepal, Bhutan, and Thailand. Botswana has limited access, with exceptions like Hong Kong and Singapore.

Europe: Botswana leads with visa-free travel to the UK, Ireland, and select countries like Gibraltar. India requires visas for most European destinations, except Serbia.

Americas: Both are similar, offering limited access. Botswana includes Brazil, while India has options like Jamaica and Dominica.

Oceania: India edges out with access to Fiji and Samoa. Botswana requires visas for most Pacific nations.

Middle East: India performs better with easier access to Gulf nations. Botswana has minimal reach in this region

India wins in all regions but Europe and Africa. A Botswana passport is not remotely powerful. The difference in power between the two is negligible. A)Indian passport gives you access to more developed regions and countries.
B) botswanna is only stronger in Europe and Africa. Africa is the jungle of the world and with Europe most of the countries Botswana passport gets you too are shitholes
- Gibraltar
• Kosovo
• North Macedonia
• Russia
• United Kingdom
😂 The UK is the only one in Europe that’s developed that rhe botswanna visa free. But it’s again irrelevant because this advantage doesn’t change the fact that Indians have had a much bigger influence and success in the UK than virtually most other groups. Rishi Sunak is of Indian heritage 😂.

C) let’s not act not only in the west the success and influence of the Indian, Chinese and other Asian diasporas. An Indian man was PM of the UK, a half Indian and a fully Indian woman could have been president of the US. Even though the botswanna passport is powerful. Its extra power is mostly useless. Those extra countries that it will take you too are mostly shithole countries of Africa 😂
Why do love botswanna so much? Just accept it that blacks are a failed race

‘It's really funny when you said "some analyst", indirectly denoting one, someone needs to break it to him that it's most; but i guess i should listen to the Nairaland user because he must be right over most analysts, definitely, he has to be😂😂😂...

The analyst doesn’t know everything and can and clearly has here made a mistake. How can they choose a country that’s not even economically diversified but also doesn’t have basic amenities such as constant electricity to be successful? No sub Saharan African country not even South Africa has constant power.

And is that you want me to embarrass you? Bro there are countless things happening in botswanna and allover Africa that doesn’t occur in the rest of the world 😂. Offcourse the faeces issue is worse in Africa than India. That continent is a jungle. The universe of planet of the apes is highly civilised compared to Botswana and Africa.

Stupid excuses, especially the 2nd one, that 2nd one is especially stupid.

Like i said, argue with the analysts👇; no be me talk ham, na the analysts talk ham, or go hit head for transformer trying to nitpick, it is a successful Nation that is continuously experiencing exponential growth. Find better excuses next time because "Merely higher GDP per capita because it's smaller" just ain't it at all... As for your 3rd note, i used the passport talk because you used that very same talk to defend India a while back against Nigeria which was never even a comparison i started, but i guess you won't use it now since it's against India🤦🤦🤦; the delusion on this idiot.

And by the way, i don't think you want to be talking about faeces Mr "Take Poo To the Loo" campaign.

You trying to delusionally persuade people at the top of your lungs that "Botswana being Successful is a lie" is literally false by the metric of every analysts... The difference between you and me is you're trying to persuade people at all cost, i don't need to persuade people because it is analytically well known🤷🤷.

Anyway, like i said, your argument is with analysts, if you want to counter them, you can go and argue with them for the writeup of your "SCATHING REASONING" on why Botswana "isn't successful"; though i doubt it's some delusional Nairaland dude called SLADEM that will change the narrative, but you can try, who knows🤷🤷, so go try boy... Analysts say that it is, that is what it is, even if you hit your head on the wall, it doesn't change what it is; Peace✌🏾.

All your points are redundant.

1. The fact that some analyst said Botswana is a successful nation doesn't mean it is true. You can't be dumb enough to believe everyone on the Internet. How can a country that doesn't even have constant power be successful?

2. Yes, it is easier for a smaller country to have a higher GDP per capita. That's why the countries with the highest gdp per capitas tend to be relatively small as the income is spread around less people.

3. Your comment about passports is absolutely a joke. A Nigerian passport can only take you to 45 destinations most of which are in Africa. That
passport is quite literally useless. The difference between the power of the indian and Botswana passport is negligible because A) its not even that much Botswana is 98 visa free countries vs India at 58 and B) the vast majority of the countries that Botswana can travel to is in Africa😂 travelling around Africa is not a flex. Who cares about that primitive wasteland. An Indian passport.

Indians have greater access to Asia and the west.

‘You trying to delusionally persuade people at the top of your lungs that "Botswana being Successful is a lie" is literally false by the metric of every analysts’

What a load of BS. Let me use your logic against you. You can literally find an article that claims any country in the world to be successful. A literally find an article is a country that loves to overachieve. Yet are they right? Instead of trying to formulate/article a viewpoint of your own. Your rehashing whatever dogma these analysts spew 😂

Nigeria is a successful country 😂

Derekmiles:
Na u con know oh, u like u call ham whatever you want, the fact is d standard of living is better, u fit go hug transformer or nitpick as u like, e no dey change that fact... Better health access %, better literacy %, higher wage income, higher GDP per capita, way less emmigrants per %, and that's even with a better passport, barely any illegal emigrants per %; categorically, e get a better standard of living 4 the average citizen, and na e be d better successful Nation.

If u wan go argue ham, go argue ham with all the analysts make e call ham a successful Nation... All the analyst agree to it, if na you be the only person make e wan disagree?, that one na ur business; you fit go argue ham with all the analyst make e call ham a successful Nation and India not being one, or you fit go hug transformer, anyone make you like.

And if you're truly a Nigerian, u go understand watin i talk, peace✌🏾.

‘Better health access %, better literacy %, higher wage income, higher GDP per capita, way less emmigrants per %, and that's even with a better passport, barely any illegal emigrants per %;’
- Botswana Health care is nowhere as sophisticated or advanced as India
- Merely higher GDP Per capita because it’s smaller
- a more powerful passport yet Indians still flock abroad more often?😂
-China is a poor nation using that logic.

Derekmiles:
Well, na u and d Analysts con get that argument... Dem talk say Botswana na Successful Nation, and India is not, go argue ham with them, if you wan still continue to dey nitpick, na you know.

Botswana being a successful nation is a lie😂. I asked this guy to bring up successful black nations and he couldn’t.

Why do Chinese scammers move to the US, UK, and Canada, and continue scamming? Why do Chinese gangs engage in all kinds of organized crime in China and then in the UK, US, and Canada when they move there? Why do Indians, Russians, and Italians do the same?

Reasons:
- They want to live like a rich person with none of the work or patience.
- They really think they can get away with it.
- They only made so much money back home, but abroad they can be actually rich from it.
- They don't fear prison.
- They've spent so much of their life doing the wrong thing that they feel they can't change.
- They make more money in a week than the average person makes in a year, and they're addicted to the money.
- They somehow don't believe they can have a nice life doing the right things.
- They're scared that if they walk away, the gang will come after them or family.
- They tried to start legit business with the dirty money, but failed and gave up.
- They like the "thrill" of crime and the criminal lifestyle.
- They've lived a hard life, and they've been hardened by it. So they don't care.

Comparing Asian scammers to African ones is hilarious. The Chinese don’t scam anywhere near as much as Nigerians do

Not all are thieves.

If the uni provided education that matched their peers in advanced countries, parents may prefer to send their children here. It's dar cheaper for them than most Western universities, especially those in th US.

The vast majority are.

idahme:
U are right, and also having the possibility of checking up on your wards during intervals. Any parent who has the ability to send their wards has the ability to fly abroad and has much more at his disposal.

Being rich doesn't qualify you for a visa automatically anymore.

Why waste such money in Nigeria, when you can use it to be someone Abroad.

Although 12 million can be for just a year course in Canada, even without considering accomodation and monthly groceries.

So I think it's even too cheap.

Its far easier to get a degree in Nigeria. Western countries have made it much harder to enter their countries.

Derekmiles:
4 is definitely mixed because Botswanans have better access to healthcare than Indians, though Indians have better health facilities that is if you can get to the Healthcare... And Botswana obviously has a better approach with its health system being free; though i can also understand why India's isn't with its size.

Some of the things you mentioned like HIV prevalence doesn't have an effect on the standard of living of the average citizen... Though i do agree that HIV is a serious issue in Botswana and Southern Africa, their government are serious about tackling the issue though... Chronic diseases is a problem though, because it self-affecting, so i will give that to India, though the disparity on Healthcare access also becomes a major issue... And whoever added Covid 19 to that stat, why?, we all knew how that went, no country tackled it exceptionally.

And did you really just create another account to continue an argument, i see the Nigerianness in you never died; that is weird though.

Indian healthcare is of a higher quality as Indians outlive Botswanna.

https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/?utm_s
Indians life expectancy is 72 compared to Botswana at 69

All the things I’ve mentioned does affect the standard of living as it shows that Indians also have better health outcomes. It’s still crazy that your comparing an Asian to a Black Country😂

• Botswana: Life expectancy is around 63 years for males and 68 years for females. 

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR):
• India: The IMR is about 24 per 1,000 live births.
• Botswana: The IMR is approximately 25.2 per 1,000 live births. 

Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR):
• India: The MMR has declined from 301 to 130 per 100,000 live births between 2003 and 2016.
• Botswana: The MMR is 117.9 per 100,000 live births as of 2019. 

HIV/AIDS Prevalence:

Derekmiles:
Asian Giants?, what, there's currently only one Asian super power.

If it's started affecting, cool... At the end of the day, Botswana currently has a better standard of living; a huge fundamental human right from everybody is to have a better standard of living. Standard of living encompasses many regions, and the fact that Botswana is still picked comfirms that, you are the one that are staunchly into metrics, so i don't know why you have a problem with that now.

If you don't accept it, that's your business, it's never going to change until India actually becomes better... Given their future projections, i do hope it works even with all the Systemic issues, like i said before, i'm not like you an Uncle Tom, i actually hope the best for people.

And by the way, using Skyscrapers is really dumb, that still doesn't change the issues in the country... I could go to Sweden, a country with almost no Skyscrapers, take a picture, and go to a skyscraper region of India and take a picture; ignorant fools will be WOWed thinking the worse one is actually the better one🤷🤷🤷... By the way, that's not India, that's Singapore.

Yeah, right now, there’s only one true Asian superpower—China—but calling India just another player is missing the bigger picture. India’s not there yet, but it’s rising fast. It’s already the fifth-largest economy, a global hub for tech, and making moves in space exploration (remember Chandrayaan’s moon landing?). It’s not a superpower today, but it’s putting in the work to become one.

Now, about Botswana having a better standard of living—fair point. If you look at some metrics like access to clean water, political stability, and income inequality, Botswana does perform better right now. And that’s easier to achieve when you’ve only got 2.4 million people to manage. I get why those numbers matter, and it’s true that for the average person, Botswana might feel like the better place to live at this moment.

But here’s the thing: India’s rise isn’t just about today—it’s about where it’s headed. We’ve already talked about how India beats Botswana in most areas: healthcare, infrastructure, technology, education, economy, and global influence. Those wins aren’t just numbers—they’re signs of a country on a serious upward trajectory

India achievements
It’s pulled 415 million people out of poverty in 15 years. That’s more than Botswana’s entire population times 150. Botswana simply can’t match that kind of scale—it doesn’t have the people or the resources to even try.
• In tech, India’s a beast. It’s home to some of the world’s biggest IT companies, driving global innovation. Botswana’s tech sector? It’s still in the starting blocks.
• When it comes to global influence, India’s voice is growing louder every year
And then there’s infrastructure. Sure, India still has areas with poor roads or slums, but it’s also building metros, high-speed rail, and entire smart cities. Botswana has decent infrastructure for its size, but it’s nowhere near what India is pulling off, even with its challenges. Botswanna and Africa is primitive compared to India.

Here’s the bottom line: Botswana is stable and doing well for its size, but it’s not moving the needle globally. It’s hit its level, and that’s fine. India, on the other hand, is growing, transforming, and pushing boundaries.

Derekmiles:
Nobody said India is failing bro, stop this anecdotal BS now, i never said India was failing, i've never said that... I've only said on average Botswana is better, use a scale per their population, not going with global presence like we all know India will have with their population... Every single article has said Botswana is currently categorically better, if India becomes better in the future, fine, i have no fucking problem with that... But as for now, Botswana is a better country for the average Individual than India. Comparison scalings agree to that, so this your crazy self you're trying to do doesn't make any sense.

Of course both Nations still has issues, but it's agreed on by nost that it's currently better to live in Botswana on average than in India. You are the one that so desperately wants to change the narrative by cherrypicking.

And I contradict myself? You literally said India is a shithole 😂

But here’s where the narrative shifts: scale and trajectory matter. India’s growth is on a completely different level than Botswana’s, and it’s not just about population size. Sure, India’s 1.4 billion people skew the numbers when you look at averages, but what India has achieved at this scale is far beyond what Botswana could even dream of.

Take the economy: India is the fifth-largest economy in the world, worth over $3.7 trillion, with diverse industries spanning tech, agriculture, space exploration, and manufacturing. Botswana, on the other hand, is still heavily reliant on diamonds for its GDP. It’s a one-horse economy. If diamond demand drops, Botswana’s economy could collapse overnight. India, by contrast, is far more resilient and diversified.

Then there’s infrastructure. Yes, there are slums in India, and not everyone has access to perfect roads or services, but India has built one of the largest rail networks, highways, and metro systems in the world. Botswana’s infrastructure is decent for its size, but it’s nowhere near India’s scale, complexity, or innovation. And while Botswana’s electricity access is stuck at 76%, India has electrified 99% of its population—even in rural areas. Botswana and Africa infrastructure is primitive

And let’s talk healthcare and technology. India is home to world-class hospitals, a booming pharmaceutical industry, and tech hubs that drive global innovation. Botswana’s healthcare system is admirable for providing free public services, but it lacks advanced facilities and forces many citizens to seek treatment abroad. In tech, there’s no comparison—India is a global leader; Botswana is primitive again here

You keep saying it’s “better to live in Botswana on average,” and for some metrics—like political stability or access to clean water—you’re not wrong. But that’s not the full picture. Botswana’s trajectory is limited by its size and reliance on finite resources. India, for all its current challenges, is growing faster, innovating more, and lifting millions out of poverty every year. In 20 years, Botswana will likely still be a small, primitive country, while India will be a global powerhouse, even for its average citizen.

So, I’m not cherry-picking here. I’m saying you can’t ignore scale and growth. Right now, Botswana might feel “better” in some ways, but India’s story is one of rapid progress and massive potential. You’re comparing a sprint to a marathon—Botswana is good at managing what it has, but India is building something much bigger.

Botswana does beat India in a few quality-of-life metrics, but they’re limited and mostly tied to its smaller population and geographic scale. For example, access to clean water is better in Botswana, with about 93% of its population covered, compared to India, where around 70% of water sources are contaminated and rural water access remains an issue. Similarly, political stability is a strength for Botswana—it’s known for low corruption and smooth governance, whereas India’s massive and complex democracy occasionally faces unrest and bureaucratic inefficiencies.

But that’s where Botswana’s wins pretty much stop.

India dominates in most other metrics because its scale, economy, and development trajectory far outshine what Botswana has achieved or can hope to achieve. Let’s break it down:

Healthcare

Botswana provides free public healthcare, which sounds great, but it’s limited in scope and often lacks advanced facilities. People frequently travel abroad for specialized treatments. India, on the other hand, has a healthcare system that’s not perfect (especially in rural areas) but is incredibly diverse. Its private hospitals are world-class, attracting medical tourists from across the globe, and the pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest in the world. On health outcomes, India also wins with a life expectancy of 70 years, compared to 66 years in Botswana.

Winner: India

Infrastructure

Botswana’s infrastructure is decent for its size, with good road networks connecting major towns. But beyond that, it’s limited. India, despite its issues in some rural areas, has a much more extensive and advanced infrastructure system. From sprawling metro networks in cities like Delhi and Mumbai to one of the largest rail systems in the world, India’s infrastructure connects its vast population and drives its economy forward. Sure, slums and underdeveloped rural areas exist, but the scale and scope of India’s infrastructure are unmatched compared to Botswana. Africa doesn’t have a stable infrastructure or anything for that matters. It’s either dilipadiated or non existent.

Winner: India

Electricity

Botswana’s electricity access sits at 76%, with rural areas especially underserved. India has electrified over 99% of its population, even in remote villages. While power outages still occur in some regions, the sheer achievement of providing electricity to over a billion people is staggering compared to Botswana’s struggles in rural electrification. Any country that’s struggling to crack technology of 200 years ago is not successful at all. Africa is the only region of earth that has a major electricity problem. The rest of the world has a stable and reliable power supply. That’s why you’re silent on electricity and infrastructure issues. Cause you know that Africa’s is essentially equivalent to cavemen in that regard

Winner: India

Economy

This one isn’t even close. India is the fifth-largest economy in the world and a global hub for technology, manufacturing, and services. Botswana’s economy is small and highly dependent on diamond mining, which accounts for a significant chunk of its GDP. This lack of diversification makes Botswana vulnerable to market shifts, while India’s economy is much more resilient and dynamic.

Winner: India

Technology and Innovation

Botswana is trying to build its technology sector, but it’s nowhere near India’s level. India is a global IT leader, with cities like Bengaluru driving innovation for the world’s biggest companies. It’s also advancing in space exploration, pharmaceuticals, and AI development. Botswana doesn’t come close. What does Africa produce? All the tech and innovation coming out of there is western or eastern propped. It’s all based on foreign tech. None of the goods and services there are home grown😂😂. Any attempt by any black nation to match the east and west will be met with serious failure

Winner: India

Education

Botswana has decent literacy rates and provides free primary education, but India’s scale and ambition in education give it the edge. India is home to prestigious institutions like the IITs, which rank among the best globally in technology and engineering. While rural education access can still be inconsistent, India produces a massive number of highly skilled professionals in fields like tech, medicine, and science. Don’t get me started on the horrific IQ and education Perfomance of India vs Botswanna

Winner: India
Botswana beats India in a few select areas, like access to clean water and political stability, but these wins are mostly due to its small population and manageable scale. On the other hand, India dominates in most development metrics—healthcare, infrastructure, economy, technology, and education. While Botswana provides better averages in some quality-of-life metrics, India’s overall development, growth trajectory, and global significance make it the clear leader in most aspects of quality of life and national progress. How is botswanna better on average? Afrocentrism has hacked your Brain. India beats the hell out of botswanna in most categories

Derekmiles:

No, we’ve already been over this. How on earth is botswanna better when its infrastructure, tech, economy, healthcare, education etc is primitive compared to India?
It’s not better on average.

Let’s break it down completely, category by category, and pick a clear winner in each area.

Technology

India dominates this category. With its thriving IT sector, globally recognized tech hubs like Bengaluru, and a booming startup ecosystem, India is a leader in digital innovation. Internet penetration is widespread, especially in urban areas, and the country is a major exporter of IT services. On the other hand, Botswana’s technology sector is in its infancy. While the government is investing in improving connectivity and fostering IT development, it’s nowhere near India’s scale or capability.

Winner: India

Infrastructure

India’s infrastructure is vast and diverse. It has a dense network of roads, railways, airports, and seaports that connect its enormous territory. Urban areas are modernizing rapidly, with metro systems, expressways, and smart city initiatives. That said, rural infrastructure in India can still lag behind, with some regions lacking proper roads or transport systems. Botswana, though much smaller, has decent infrastructure relative to its size, with well-maintained roads connecting major towns. However, it lacks the diversity and scale of India’s infrastructure, and its rail and air networks are minimal.

Winner: India

Electricity

India has achieved near-universal electrification, with over 99% of its population having access to electricity. Rural electrification has improved massively in recent years. However, power outages and reliability issues are still a challenge, especially in rural areas. Botswana, in comparison, has a lower electricity access rate at around 76%. Rural areas in Botswana are particularly underserved, making electricity a significant development gap.

Winner: India

Water Supply

Botswana struggles with water scarcity due to its semi-arid climate, which limits rainfall and groundwater recharge. While 93% of Botswana’s population has access to at least basic drinking water services, water shortages and stress are common. India, despite having diverse water resources, has significant water quality and distribution issues. Around 70% of India’s water sources are contaminated, and many households, especially in rural areas, lack access to clean water. While Botswana’s issues are due to natural constraints, India’s are largely due to mismanagement.

Winner: Botswana (due to higher percentage access and less widespread contamination)

Healthcare

India offers a mix of public and private healthcare, with world-class facilities in urban centers. The private sector attracts medical tourists for advanced treatments, but public healthcare is underfunded and often overcrowded. Rural healthcare remains inconsistent. Botswana, on the other hand, provides free public healthcare and has done well in combating diseases like HIV/AIDS. However, it faces severe shortages of medical professionals and advanced facilities, which forces citizens to seek specialized care abroad. While Botswana’s healthcare is more accessible, India’s capabilities in advanced treatments and technology give it an edge.

Winner: India

Health Outcomes

India’s life expectancy is approximately 70 years, slightly higher than Botswana’s 66 years. Maternal and infant mortality rates are also lower in India compared to Botswana. Despite challenges, India has made significant progress in reducing deaths from communicable and non-communicable diseases. Botswana’s health outcomes have improved due to effective HIV/AIDS interventions, but life expectancy is still heavily impacted by the disease burden.

Winner: India

Economic Strength

India’s economy is the fifth largest globally, with a GDP of over $3.7 trillion and diverse industries including agriculture, manufacturing, and services. It’s a major player in global markets and is rapidly growing. Botswana’s economy is much smaller and heavily reliant on diamond mining, which makes it vulnerable to market fluctuations. While Botswana has a higher GDP per capita due to its small population, its lack of economic diversification is a significant drawback compared to India’s vast and dynamic economy.

Winner: India

Political Stability

Botswana is renowned for its political stability and low corruption, standing out as a model of governance in Africa. India, as the world’s largest democracy, has a stable political system but faces challenges like corruption, regional disparities, and periodic political unrest. While both countries have functioning democracies, Botswana’s smaller size and effective governance make it easier to maintain stability.

Winner: Botswana

Overall Quality of Life

Botswana’s small population allows for better averages in some aspects of quality of life, like access to water and political stability. However, India’s scale and rapid advancements in technology, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic strength far outweigh Botswana’s localized successes. India’s challenges—pollution, population pressure, and inequality—are immense, but its strides in development make it the clear frontrunner in overall development.

Final Verdict: India is light years ahead of Botswana.
