ORIJIN201:
Tell me the statements you call inciting.

ORIJIN201:
Did you watch the video?

Esseite:
With your kind of comment, it's not far fetched why Nigeria is being run down by small Ghana..

That professor spoke the truth, it's high time Nigeria engages its media on Ghana as Ghana has done, we allowed South Africa and the xenophobic acts is now majorly on Nigerians, now Ghana wants to take same route.

Yes there are bad Nigerians, but to tag 200m people bad just because of less than 20 people is the height of it..

Jonraid:
Dawa in Kiswahili language means 'medicine/drug'

TayserMahri:
Do you prefer a multipolar world with many strong superpowers or a unipolar one?

samorobo:
Hahaha if US is conniving with EU then I must say china should be prepared to be taken down.The battle is going to be tough owing to the fact that US is very stubborn and they always make sure they get what they want

theenchanter:
see, I dont like to compare countries that run diff type of govts on matters like this.

theenchanter:
i've watched that video, vaxx... I've watched it more than three times.... the man never incited anything on Ghana, he talked more about Nigeria.

He's just a visiting professor in Ghana and not fully employed by the university.

In short, I'm not dabbling into this matter jare.

theenchanter:
u actually made some valid point but ur assessment of India is wrong, India spend more on education and health. India has also produced some of the best engineering and medical universities in the world, india also have a lot of techies in Silicon Valley with many expatriates all over d world. I think our perspective about India is very wrong.

On d relationship between population and economy of a nation: I think Goel has done justice to that.

theenchanter:
Yes, I called it fake news when I haven't confirmed it.

It's genuine but not as bad as painted. The man never instigated anything against Ghana.

theenchanter:
drop the argument.

tylann:
I thought some Nigerians here said that was fake news.

Goel:
That's how I argue. The statement was stupid AF.

have tried multiple interpretations of your argument and all were useless and faulty in same way.

Population doesn't lead to economic growth. Demographic dividend does. Population just helps to have bigger economy.

Population has nothing to do with economic boom. It rather just attracts some forex reserves.

Any market booms when it's open. It could be small European country with low population or any biggie like China or India. No one will invest in a closed market.

Once a market is saturated, vendors move to other. Large markets have greater room for vendors to sell their stuff hence larger companies. Large, not exceptional growth.

Migration has nothing to do with population again. People will go where they get money in any small or largely populated country

That depends upon the kind of economy adopts.

It depends upon country whether it chooses to industrialize itself and have skilled labor

I agreed on some few. On aggregate, India was much poorer than Africa while has surpassed right now.

And It's not confirmation bias, list up the African countries in all human development indicators, population growth or competitiveness and compare against India. Africa's primary reason of wealth was high natural resources per capita. Only small couple of countries worked upon.

Similarly, Ukraine and Moldava with per capita incomes closer to India are stark different from India.

I'm debating your opinion about population. Both India or entire Asia are relevant.
India's boom in Asia is a bit later than Far east.

Indian diaspora even stays in Afghanistan and far more helish African and other countries. Their purpose is generate money from markets around. They don't have to leave for set of reasons like healthcare, education or daily life unlike Africans.

Or applying your logic, westeters reside in Southeast Asia too.

Overall population growth of Africa is almost 4 times of India. India's population is big, not growth.

Even for size, United Nations doesn't agree with you.

There will be multiple countries from 2050 to 2100 which will have 30% to 50% populations of China & India and will even reach 1 billion in following century.

It rather favors what I said than you. Going to 1.5 billion from 1.37 billion already isn't a big deal. Indian population growth is slow and will even start to decline around 2050. China already is.
India's population growth rate estimated this year again was 5% less than expected and 2100 forecast has been down from 1.5 billion to 1.45 billion.

It's Nigeria who's going to have its population more than doubled.

Factually incorrect. China and India had nearly same GDP in ancient and modern times. It was only 30-40 years back where Chinese economic boom made it an upper middle income country while India left as a lower middle income one.

As Chinese population ages, it will slow down to culmination. So forth, the pace at which Indian economy and per capita income has been growing faster than Africa, India's economy (right now 30% bigger) will be many times bigger than African continent with just 1/4th of population.
It's growth will stop like west and Africa will start to grow.

I have put it in most civilized manner I could. Statement of high population being responsible for national growth is stupid.

No, what I said applies on every country who is developed today or growing fast.

Seriously, open things I listed up.

By diversification, I meant economic diversification. Not agriculture sole. Agriculture is just one sector and that even which produces raw materials which have lowest profit margin of all sectors.

Installing sophisticated machinery for agriculture isn't possible with most countries. Adding, you will lose forex buying machines and services what you don't make at home.

In case of India, I know that agrarian land per farmer is around 3 acres. Even if he manages to purchase stuff, he can't do it on small area. That's why I advocate for private firms doing that. Simply to earn profit, you need a highly modernized farm or farming is useless.

Things won't be even this rosy in case of Africa.

I never denied that modernizing agriculture is important but its not basis of prosperity. Agriculture forms less than 1% of US economy. It's rather a feather in cap of USA and PRC than their needs. Agriculture isn't something these countries can't do without. They can produce only to eat and they will be fine.

All of the economic booms recorded till date haven't been based in agriculture. Boom demands increased profitable production (industry) and need for developing technology. Dreaming of developing as an agricultural economy is naive.

babytoun:
This does not answer my question ....statements about begging are unverified ....if at all he is begging ...may be for his job ...


But I insist that his statements are not wrong

babytoun:
You want to force it down my throat that he is wrong ...and I say ...NO WAY

It's your duty to sell the grounds you think he is wrong to me ....if that's too tough a job for you then run along .

budaatum:
My objectivity is my mind and not somewhere in Ikotun, Brighton or the Orolu Kingdom so where I am counts for nought to me.

I guess I'm just not like you vaxx.

Beninwitch:
Sorry to burst your bubbles. That Prof is very established and experienced. He has lost no prestige. He simply picka another appointment elsewhere.

babytoun:
I have summarised the message from his statements ...look at the page before this you will see my submission ..


Now I want you to articulate your grievance possibly in 4 lines ...and you are asking me to get an interpreter ...How is the prof wrong by stating the obvious about the standard of education ?

budaatum:
Thank what? When they are beating me in Qatar do they care that I'm not on the same continent with this pitiable excuse for a professor? Is it not the students of this same professor who will come on here thinking they have education while spewing thrash this useless professor taught them?

I don't see what there is to be thankful for vaxx because wherever I am I am Nigeria.

babytoun:
That is my problem with people like you ...

I won't fall for your trick.....please state the exact inciting part of his statement ...

If even someone like you who has some level of education can't articulate your grievance ...then I can understand the negative sentiments from low literacy elements

ken6488:
To extend of mocking our troops I don't blame you

I blame our government......

Yet we are the pillar of your economy

thesicilian:
He was talking off camera (not aware he was being filmed) to his own people to sit up for themselves, to "protest" using peaceful means, the media. How is that war mongering?

ken6488:
Nigeria remains the giant of Africa

Leave it or love it..


We rule your country economic


Nothing is special in Ghana...

I rather go to Egypt than Ghana...


I love my country

babytoun:
What exactly did he say that erudite scholars don't or should not say ?

ken6488:
OK till then you people will regret bitting the fingers that feed you

Nukilia:
I will reply you this last time.
The professor is a hero! He dished you just a portion of your own medicine but you couldn't take it. Forget that your rant... His job is sure anywhere around the world

Nukilia:
Shame on you! You know why you are a coward..... Its simple ..... You expect everyone to keep quiet while you maltreat them...
You'll be surprised to see him get another job...

We know your type

Nukilia:
grave kwa... Kill him and see what happens. Ghanaian criminal

thesicilian:
Check out exactly what he said and judge if there's anything wrong with this. Instead of all Nigerians to support him they're talking thrash.

ken6488:
The truth is bitter
