The claims made in this video do not stand up to serious scrutiny.
DNA evidence connects them.

Only an illiterate argues against DNA evidence.

The only thing to debate about in that video is HOW the Edo people got there, and WHEN they did, not whether they were there.

That video proves 1000% that they were there.

It is because naira is weaker than Gambian currency dalasi.

At official rate, 1 Gambian dalasi = 13.30 naira.
At black market rate almost 25 naira.

Same reason Lebanese flood/flock our country, when they carry our naira to their country they become big boys, they can buy alot of things at cheaper rate.
This is a very unsatisfactory explanation.

This news will be used by their on line paid agents for days,just to make them sleep well.

The irony of this is that before the elections they don't believe in anything statistics,but they are now on line digging anything statistics to use as a propaganda to support the woeful performance of the present government grin.

I saw a YouTube video of a Gambian guy that toured Lagos, and the guy was amazed at the low prices of everything, compared to Gambia.

He was converting the naira prices to the Gambian currency, and was just shouting in amazement at how cheap they were, from coke to food items, clothes etc.

The guy said that we are enjoying in Nigeria with all these cheap prices! grin

Nigeria has the Second Lowest Cost of Living in the World Despite Economic Woes

Business Insider Africa

January 30, 2024 3:30 PM


In the complicated realm of global economics, Nigeria in 2024 has emerged as a fascinating paradox. The West African nation boasts the lowest cost of living index in Africa and the second lowest in the world. This is according to Numbeo, a data platform that provides insights into consumer prices, real property prices, and quality of life metrics.


- Nigeria faces a 28.92% inflation rate, but Numbeo ranks it as having Africa’s lowest cost of living index.
- This presents an economic anomaly.
- Nigeria’s current cost of living index stands at 19.0.


According to Numbeo’s updated cost of living index for 2024, Nigeria has Africa’s lowest cost of living and the world’s second lowest cost of living, second only to Pakistan, despite the country’s startling rate of inflation and weakening currency.

Nigeria's inflation which is currently at an alarming 28.92%, an 18-year high, and a 13-month consistent surge, has seemingly done little to raise its cost of living index to a global high.

Inflation is typically associated with a greater cost of living. However, Nigeria's reality calls into question this logic. The cost of living index, which takes into account factors such as housing, transportation, food, and healthcare, still places Nigeria as one of the countries with the lowest cost of living, presenting an interesting case study.

To collect data, Numbeo relies on user inputs and manually collected data from authoritative sources (websites of supermarkets, taxi company websites, governmental institutions, newspaper articles, other surveys, etc.). Manually collected data from established sources are entered twice per year.

With that said, Nigeria’s current cost of living index stands at 19.0. When compared to the highest, Bermuda there is a 114.8 disparity, as Bermuda has a cost of living index of 133.8.

Also when compared to Mozambique, which has the highest cost of living in Africa at 45.2, there is a 26.2 points difference.

Nigeria’s relatively low cost of living is despite the fact that the country’s latest food inflation rate accelerated to 33.93% on a year-on-year basis, marking a 10.18% increase compared to the rate recorded in December 2022 (23.75%).

According to a report by Business Day, a prominent news publication in Nigeria, “100% of respondents who participated in the publication’s poll are dissatisfied with the current cost of food, and 75% believe the government isn’t doing enough to address the issue''.

A recent report also shows that commodity prices in Nigeria are set to surge again, following the fall of the country’s currency to N1,420/$.

While Nigerians are generally frustrated with the current state of affairs in the country, Numbeo’s list shows that its living conditions are very cheap compared to the rest of the world.

Again, I am with Reno on this.

Until we patronize and value our own good and service above the foreign we are going nowhere as a people.

WE MUST PRIORITISE MADE IN NIGERA IN OUR MINDSET.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CHINESE DID.

THEY DIDN'T CARE IF THE GOODS WERE OF 'LOWER STANDARD' THAN EUROPEAN OR AMERICAN.

ONCE IT IS CHINESE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY SUPERIOR IN THEIR EYES.

UNTIL WE REASON LIKE THAT IN NIGERIA, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA RISING IN VALUE.

LOOK. WE PRIORITISED NIGERIAN OVER ALL ELSE IN FILM, FASHION, AND MUSIC, AND THOSE SECTORS BLEW OUT OF ALL PROPORTION, TO WORLD STANDARDS.

WE MUST DO THE SAME THING WITH REGARD TO OTHER SECTORS, INCLUDING MANUFACTURING AND THE SERVICES, AND THIS COUNTRY WILL BLOW BEYOND BELIEF!!!!

China promised heaven and earth investment in Nigeria when buhari was the president but never fulfilled one.
There are several Chinese built projects that are running just fine. Quick example, the Train manufacturing plant in Kajola, Ogun state, which employs 5,000 Nigerians, manufactures train coaches, and supplies the NRC as well as foreign markets.

Another is the Lagos - Ibadan high speed rail service.

Even the railway they built for Nigeria broke down.

Nigeria Seals Massive $7 Billion Investment Deal With India

The Federal Government of Nigeria has secured $7 billion out of the $14 billion investment deal promised to the country during the G20 Summit in India last year.

- Nigeria had secured pledges worth $14 billion investment deal during the G20 Summit in India last year.

- Of the $14 billion promised during this visit as an investment into the Nigerian economy, $7 billion has been signed.

- Nigeria hosts almost 150 Indian companies, contributing a substantial investment of $27 billion, primarily in the manufacturing sector.


This was revealed by Indian ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Balasubramanian on the occasion of the 75th Day of India in Abuja.

During the Nigeria-India Presidential Roundtable and Conference in New Delhi, India, Nigerian officials secured pledges worth $14 billion from Indian investors and sought an economic cooperation pact with the South Asian nation, presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, said in a statement last year.

Some of the pledges include, Jindal Steel and Power's $3 billion investment in Nigeria's steel sector, and Indorama Corp. petrochemical facility expansion in the country with an additional investment of $8 billion.

What the Indian envoy said:

“India and Nigeria enjoy strong and historical relations. With the ties dating back to before Nigeria’s independence, our bilateral relations have been nurtured by the leadership of both the countries.

“India had invited Nigeria as a guest country during her presidency of G20. We had a memorable visit of H.E. Mr. Bola Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the G20 Summit last year in September, that consolidated the ties further.

“Out of the $14 billion promised during this visit as an investment into the Nigerian economy, $7 billion has already been signed ..''

When you stop your unity begging and realise that Lugard cannot come from Europe to give you your country

Your country must come from the democratic consent of other ethnic groups, not "one Nigeria by force"
But Lugard also came and gave you your new language called English, and your new religion called christianity, and the new concept of 'democratic consent' you're brandishing around as if our empire - building ancestors relied on 'consent' to seize the territory of others.

Fact is you are selectively anti-imperialist for selfish ethnic reasons.

If you believe you can succeed with the colonial influences I just mentioned, from religion to the very way you dress, then why negatively single out the political architecture inheritance?

It has nothing to do with your anti-colonialism.

It's because you're a tribalist and a bigot.

And you need to rid yourself of it.

It's an ungodly mindset.

If those were christian artefacts stolen, would you ask, ''Why didn't Jesus stop them from being stolen since he's supposed to be the ''son of God''?''

The biggest damage the whites did was not the material objects and natural resources they stole from us, but the destruction of our minds with self hatred and racial inferiority complex of the worst kind, of which you are a prime example.

Iwobi is very creative. Most of Nigeria's goal scoring chances in this tournament have been created by Iwobi. Go and verify. Most of the chances that Osimhen and Zaidu have missed were created by Iwobi. The coach has been playing him too deep, but that hasn't prevented him from creating chances.
I don't know why people are attacking this boy.

This boy called Iwobi has been at the heart of virtually every goal we've scored in this tournament!
