Lol @ "a country as rich as Nigeria".
A country of 170million with a GDP of $300billion is anything but rich.
Califonia has a population of 33million and a GDP of $1trillion and surprisingly they're broke.

Hmmn...
This thread is still on.
Many of the people posting on this thread are trying to prop up america beyond realistic terms,and at the same time paint Nigeria in the darkest possible dye to validate their choices.
Smh.
Anyway,as they say,experience is the best teacher.
It's well.

Wow.
Intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals slugging it out.
Nice thread.

Aigipan: You are actually not making a lot of sense. yes the us is the largest exporter of arms but that only makes a little of what the country exports every year

The american weapon industry is a major revenue earner for america.
The only thing that trumps it is the petrodollar.

Aigipan: http://www.worldsrichestcountries.com/top_us_exports.html

Machine, Engines :215.2 Billion (13.9%)
Electronic equipment: 162.1 billion (10.5%)
Oil: $137.5 Billion(8.9%)
Vehicles: 139.9 Billion (8.6%)
Aircraft, spacecraft: 104.3 Billion(6.7%)
Medical, Tech equipment : $87.5 Billion (5.4%)
Gems, Precious Metals: $71.7 Billion(4.6%)
Plastics $58.8 Billion (3.8$)
Organic Chemicals $46.2 Billion (3%)
Pharmaceuticals $40.1 Billion (2.6%)

I don't think america exports many of these things as much as they do before except probably aeronautics, pharmaceuticals and vehicles.
Due to the high cost of labour in america,many of those companies have moved to china.

Uuzba Guuzba: America is considered the one of the largest economies in the world.... but nobody can tell what they export...
Somebody just mentioned Guns!
So is it Ogboju they export or what?

The weapons industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.
America is the largest exporter of weapons and their weapons are the most expensive in the world.
A single F-16 fighter cost nothing less than $40-$60 million.

America makes its most money from selling weapons and exploiting nations of their resources either by war or blackmail.
They also make significant revenue from taxes and the petrodollar.
Unfortunately,they spend far more than they earn.
The lifestyle of the average american is unsustainable.
Most of their infrastructure,fanciful lifestyle and huge military expenditure is financed by borrowed money.

JSAdex: Why is AJEPAKO stronger than AJEBUTTER. Lol

Guy forget that thing.
How many americans are as rich as davido's dad?
And i am definitely sure davido can never kill himself because he was bullied.
I think it depends on upbringing.

I can't understand how anyone can rationalize suicide as a defence mechanism against bullying rampant in the west.
It's bizarre!!
Infact the kids that should be killing themselves are african kids due to the fact that the legal and support mechanisms for abused people are not that developed in africa.
May God never let me beget such wimps as children.

Donmams: It's unfortunate that Muslims that have been trying to be fair to Christians in this country are now the subject of facing so much hate from the same christian folk. In a country where the majority are muslims, a christian is always given the vice presidency. This happens only in Nigeria. In any muslim state with at least 10% population christians get deputy governors and numerous commissioners. Kaduna, Gombe, Taraba, Adamawa, Kogi, Etc all have sizable representation in gov't. However in christian states this is not the case. Take Edo, Benue, Plateau, etc with sizable muslim populations yet these states don't even get a commissioner. Is this how christians will repay muslims in this country? By killing as many muslims you can get your hands on? Ok o!

May God punish you for trying to trivialize this issue.
Who told you that muslims are the majority in this country?.
I am sure the lives of those innocent people murdered by BH,means nothing to you.
Morønic hausa-fulani.
And yet some slowpokes will be praying for power to go back to the hands of these backward individuals.
Smh.

Subjecting these inhuman beasts called bokoharam to normal judicial process meant for sane humans is a waste of time as far as i am concerned.
Terror can only be defeated by a higher and corresponding terror.
The israelis are an ardent follower of that principle.

Is anyone surprised that amnesty international has not released a statement against US drones programme responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent women and children in asia and africa.

nerodenero: The country is probably the most expensive place to live.Survive here and you will survive in any part of the world even war-torn countries inclusive.

Nigeria is not the most expensive place to live at-all.
You probably haven't lived in europe before.

Where are the nairaland debating kings and queens.
Time to debate yourselves to stupour.

ibnakeem: Can you give us the breakdown of mobil salary scheme from the chairman to the lowest ranked staff. Remember tinubu was once a senator in the country even though it was for a few month. And also put it into consideration that this man must have had other investments as at that the time he retired from mobil

See as this one dey deceive himself.
Investment ko,investor ni.

I just dey laugh o.

Kingmojo: Apart from football what sports are Ghanaians and Nigerians dominate in.

Nigeria's is one of africa's basket-ball and beach-soccer powerhouses.
We also have a good pedigree in athletics.

It's not possible.
Even the best african teams still lag behind in talent and managerial nous.

ghananotnaija: You're STILL talking about AFCON?! For God's sake, you beat Burkina Faso of all countries to win in the finals. I mean how could you boast about that?

Also, the Giant of Africa has nothing to do with population. The fact that Nigeria is the most populated simply means that Nigeria is severely overpopulated and has less resources for each Nigerian (more poor Nigerians than there would otherwise be). There is nothing to brag about. I was talking about the football Giant of Africa, not the economic, political, technological (or overall) Giant of Africa, which is still South Africa.

There is one thing that Nigeria leads all African nations which isn't negative: Nigeria's entertainment industry.

1)southafrica is the economic giant?
Yes,atleast for now.
It should change in the next 5 years.
2)Southafrica is not the political giant of africa.
They have no greater influence than Nigeria in african politics.

Up engerland.
Delusional fans.

koyla: lol be cool bro, just that the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria is soo strong that not even football alone determines it, everything between Ghana and Nigeria is a rivalry since our ancestors ,so take it cool, that's the power of west African neighbours

which of your ancestors were having rivalry with ghanians?
The only rivalry Nigeria has with ghana is in football alone,not even in other sports.
Don't stretch it.

shymexx: Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal England!!!

Gerrard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We made it!!!!

Brazil, here we come!!!

This pub is going nuts!!!!

Mscheww!!
So Engerland still has fans?
Delusion.

Egypt has been absoluted humiliated by ghana.
Any super-eagles team that suffers this kind of humiliation from any team in the world much less africa should not bother coming back to Nigeria.
They will need the protection of the military to escape the wrath of Nigerian fans.

I want to puke.
Anybody got a bucket?

Obrafour: just like how East Africans rule in Athletics.

which athletics.?
Their strength is in long-distance running only.
West africans are better in more athletics sports.

I don't envy collynzo at-all.
The ghanaians on nairaland would have him for dinner.
#poordude.

I am disappointed in the egyptians.
Though i expected ghana to win,i had hoped that egypt would put in a strong resistance.
And to think i was afraid at the prospect of Nigeria facing this useless overrated egyptian team.
Smh.

armyofone: i'm laughing so hard, relocate villagers to city and replace them with giraffe, lions, zebras and hyena lol
not farther from the truth anyway. Yeah name it Green Hills Mountain Resort and see how the Europeans flock in. That name Obudu is scary
I wonder how the security is like at Obudu, any idea?

yeah right.
Why not tell the indians to rename the taj mahaj as capitol hills or the tanzanians to rename mount kilimanjaro as beverly hills so as to pander to the whims of your ignorant and inferior self.
And yes,obudu is not safe.
Come with an army to guarantee the safety of your royal highness.
Ewu.
