There are basically two economies in the world and every nation on the face of the earth fall under either of them.*

*These are:*

* *The Knowledge Economy*

* *The Religion Economy*

*The rich and prosperous nations of the world belong to the Knowledge Economy while the the poorest and poverty stricken nations of the world belong to the Religion Economy.*

*The Knowledge Economy is one that engages the brain, asks relevant questions, and proffer solutions to problems.*

*The Religion Economy is one that blackmails God and dumps every responsibilities on Him.*

*The Knowledge Economy tasks the brain, the Religion Economy numbs the brain.*

*Japan, for example, is a Knowledge Economy. It has no natural resources but it is a prosperous nation, one of the richest on the planet.*

*At least six of every ten cars on Nigeria's roads today are Japanese cars.*

*Japan is not a religious country, but it is one of the most corruption-free nations.*

*China is not a religious country, but nations that ignore China today do so to their own peril.*

*Nigeria falls under Religion Economy, everything depends on God.*

*Nigeria is one of the most endowed nations with natural resources on the face of the earth, yet also among the poorest.*

*Nigeria wears proudly the badge of the "poverty capital of the world" and is one of the most corrupt nations on the face of the earth.*

*It is also one of the most religious countries on the planet.*

*It is a nation where everything depends on God, and God watches in disgust as we mortgage our brains.*

*Even security agencies that are constitutionally funded from budgets look up to God to carry out their duties.*

*But here is the irony.*

*The two major religions of the world, Christianity and Islam, emanated from Israel and Saudi Arabia respectively.*

But none of those two nations fall under Religion Economy.

*None!*

*One of the evidences of their subscription to Knowledge Economy is the yearly pilgrimages that generate for them revenues in billions of dollars.*

*But hypocritically stupid nations like Nigeria are comfortable disseminating nuisance to humanity with their glamorization of the Religion Economy.*

*People elected and empowered to do a job will turn around and ask those who elected them to pray.*

*God is disgusted with Religion Economy.*

*There's a reason He gave man brain and instructed him to subdue the earth.*

*If you're a Christian or a Muslim, who does not commit himself to the pursuit of knowledge your life will become a perfect reflection of Nigeria.*

*That's a fact!*

*It is an illusion to anticipate wisdom where people do not pay attention to Knowledge.*

One of the best info. Keep it up

The basic reason why Nigeria is underdeveloped has nothing to do with religion. Infact, I am always getting tired of these posts that blame religion for everything. USA got developed and europe got developed when many of these countries were religious , so what are we saying.

No, here is why most African countries are underdeveloped.

At independence, we had a problem. A large poor population, a tiny middle class and an even tinier upper class. So, we had two options.

1.Allow the free market to do its thing, and follow a plan of industrialization...and see some benefits in a generation. Meanwhile, there would be mass suffering while we wait.

2.Use our revenue, equitably share them, and run mass welfare, and mass subsidised programmes to ensure most of the populaiton gets into the middle class. Maybe we can develop the economy from there. Socialism, of some sort.

We chose no 2. The problem with no 2 is that, at the end of the day, it gets your country into debt. We subsidised everything...and kept on using our income to provide subsidised benefits to all, until we started finding out that running the kind of socialist economy requires you have an unlimited sum of money and resources. That's not possible,

A big problem was or is that we have too many resources (Countries like Japan do not have adequate resources, ditto china and south korea, which is why they were forced to fall back on knowledge), so we got decieved into thinking we could sell the stuff and share the money. Well, we could not, and eventually we ran out of some of those resources, or got outproduced.

We should have chosen no 1.

China was run by people who had no religion from 1949. Yet at the end of 1979, China's economy was far behind countries like Japan, and south korea. At the end what changed? Free market.

South korea is far advanced than North Korea...which is run by people who are athiest. South korea has a lot of religious adherents...yet is prosperous.

The USSR On the other hand was run by knowledge people and atheists, yet collaped in 1991, while the USA, run by people who chant religion, is prosperous. The difference...the free market, and economic prosperity...and industralization.

We are behind because we don;t want to adapt industrialization and the free market, and insist on subsides, even when it is dragging our economy down the drain. Result...a corruption ridden, wasteful mess. NO investor wants to come here. Meanwhile it is more profitable to import second hand stuff than make it here.
