Besides winning big brother Africa, what other advantages does Nigeria have based on its population?

Good question.

We get ppl spreading everywhere.
I've met many many Non-Africans who have a Nigerian friend or two.

Saves me the trouble of not explaining that Nigeria is a Country not a state

Besides that. . . . OYO

We got the population to be a world power

We are very proud people, many people call us cocky or arrogant. Potential to be a force to be reckoned with. We need to EDUCATE EVERYONE for free. Free from age 5 to 18. For people who want to be a doctor,nurse, healthcare business, or engineer they get free university because we need more of those. Where we have a lack of supply those people can go for free.

The government needs to support everyone so the people are able to do it. Infrastructure (roads, power, IT), education, health care, social programs and that is it. Nigerians are smart enough to do the rest. Once they stop stealing in almost every aspect of society, then we will be a top economy.

Government should invest in people and people invest in the economy.

The population of Nigeria is a curse: people aged 0-16 are out of proportion with the working class citizens.

Lol@besides wining Big Brother

anywhere, anytime, anymodafoka here the name Nigeria dey allways enter bush. proud Nigerians and great people, we never give up easily!

if government can educate, develop its middle class; Nigeria and Nigerians will be a force to be reckoned with just like China and India

Large population = large market = potentially large economy = power house.

Arosa:

Large population = large market = potentially large economy = power house.

Well said. We're not making good use of our population. If not, by now we should have joined the league of large economies of the world eg China, US, Brazil, Germany etc.

population is power. Nigerian population gives businesses the money they need. population motivates and inspires you in whatever you do especially to think and come up with different IDEAS that will solve different problems since the population is relative to the societal problems. you are using Nairaland today  may be, cos of the population  you are meeting here. you are using www.nahere.com today perhaps cos of their location idea. ones theirs a population, theirs a fertile soil for ideas, businesses and growth

you have said it all

Nigeria has it is has everything to be made a world power. The problem is the leaders that is all.

Advantages of Nigeria's over-population

Are we talking of the actual or potential advantages - i see none thus far

another problem is social barricades to education, how come illiteracy is still so high in the North vs the South.
Address that, how can you get youths up there educated so they don't have to rely on terror groups and bombings to vent their frustrations on innocent citizens who are just trying to make a living in their soceities

Nigeria as a nation need to become a service based economy to catch up with the G20.

My brother, illiteracy is high even in the south

Just because southerners can speak broken english does not make them educated

education is not about english.

Infact the North is one of the most educated region in West africa. Saudi arabia don't understand english but are very educated.

Illiteracy is everywhere in Nigeria.

Bombing is was even started by southerners not northerners. It is a terrible thing

we need to hold hands and unite to fight all this Boko haram and Mend

we are one Nation and should act as such

Advantage: l like it when an hausaman is speaking english and when yoruba guy is vibrating, igbo- mmh, dont know yet

A large population should translate to a great country.unforunately we have been saddled with the wrong set of leaders

hold up, do they take JAMB in Hausa?

or fulani??

We are talking about education here not Q'uranic schools.Sir.

The less educated the populace are anywhere the more likey they resort to blind acts of violence.

All i want 2 say is dat they dont bleeping care abt us.

guy have you been to the NORTH? 4 real

Delafruita:

Why?

The advantage would be to invest on the population future by providing free education for those who can't afford any. Meanwhile we know that human resources are always the best potentials incomparable to any other - there have always been the potentials only not utilize to the benefit of the country. If the govt. educated and provided opportunities for the population of Nigeria, the sky would be the limit. I think they are not doing that yet. So, the population of Nigeria is just nothing but a large number of mess!

guy i can see you being mischievous here

it is taken in English or Arabic. and moreover as i said earlier. knowing pigin English does not qualify you as an educated person.

If I study or read in Arabic or French but still do the same disciples university undergraduates do, then I can still be qualified as educated.

I hope you understand.

People have Ph.D in studying French, Arabic,Greek,Hausa and yoruba but don't know English and still qualified as educated.

so all this "not knowing english= uneducated" is crap

Then how come sokoto had the lowest number of pple writing jamb and imo had the highest. When you mean north-dont include the middle belt oh. The north west and east  have the highest iiliteracy rate in the con3. Borno has the worst educational system in nigeria[UBE]. When we mean education-ISLAMIC EDUCATION IS NOT EDUCATION. How come aganga worked in GOLDMAN SACHS with a degree in theology and the fanatical sanusi couldnt evn school outside talk less of working. How come southerners work in banks in the north and not also vice versa? PPLE IN SAUDI CANT WORK IN THE U.S,U.K,CHINA,GERMANY WITH A DEGREE IN ARABIC EDUCATION. EVEN LIBYANS WHO WENT TO FRANCE COULDNT WORK. WHY? THEIR CERTIFACTE WAS AND IS NOT RECOGNISABLE IN FRANCE. SO ALMARJIRIS SHOULD LEARN AND STUDY WESTERN EDUCATION.
 FORGOT BOKO HARAM>>>>>>WESTERN EDUCATION IS SIN.

who told u that boko haram exist?

who told u that western education is sin ? are they not using e-mail, guns etc

who are you to say Islamic[b] education[/b] is not an educational disciple

walihi i no even get u time u bigot
