Say something better ok. Nigeria is not a serious country even in Africa we have slided down to 4th.

Currency.

The Japanese Yen is now over 160 to a dollar, I think. Just a few years ago, it was 110 -115. As your currency's value decreases against the dollar, your GDP will be recalculated by the percentage of the decrease.

Same thing happened to Nigeria.

That's why we went from No.1 in Africa to No.4. If naira keeps falling, and South African Rand, or Egyptian Pound remain stable or gain in value against the dollar, their GDP will be worth more in dollar value than Nigeria 's. That' exactly what happened in the past year.

The strength of every economy in the world, including each country's GDP, is calculated by reference to the almighty US dollar.

Another problem for the Japanese is the population is falling every year. It means there are not enough newborns replacing those dying. So, their domestic market is shrinking, their companies can't find enough employees, the proportion of old people relative to young ones is high and increasing. In another 100 years, Japan's population will be less that half what it is today.

Japanese are not having sex. The men refuse to have it. The women don't want it either. So, few children are being born. The country is slowly dying.

Interesting...

I wonder why they aren't having sex.

Some countries are trying to curb their increasing population while some others are slowly dying out due to decreasing population.

The irony of life!

Interesting read...

What can you also say about the Brazil?

- Incompetent elites compared to the Chinese.
- Unfortunate geography in being a region which the US sees as its right. See The Monroe Doctrine. So, Brazil is limited in how it extends its power or grows. The US has sponsored coups across South America and toppled governments.
- Infighting/instability across the region.

But Brazil and the wider region can still grow well enough provided they sell to Asia, ensure stability and peace and solve their economic inequalities affecting some of the populace.

Slave mentality is the reason we are backward.
It is Nigerians with slave mindset that will sign agreements with west that impoverish us because you are happy to have western partners.
Olisa Agbakogba was on TV yesterday talking about the oil industry. People like you will sign agreements with the oil companies such that everything they do is done with foreigners even down to catering. Are there no Nigerian caterers? And they will charge $2,000 per meal. Money that should go to the Nigerian economy and Nigerians. It is eeediots like you at the root of our underdevelopment. God bless America my Arse!!!! Eeediots!!!

American will continue to be great Sha.

SmartPolician:


Again, the west didn't ask you to elect an old druglord and make him your president.

The west didn't tell Akpabio to embezzle NDDC money.

The west didn't tell you to use Boko Haram to destabilize the north.

The day the black man will start taking responsibility for his irrresponsibility, purely black countries will start working.

This is the last reply you will get from this moniker on this issue.

You really have time replying oh. People are fond of blaming others for their own problems.

Not even one African nation...!

How is India topping Canada sef?!!

Why can't you type God bless Africa..
India was colonised same as Nigeria can't you see we're they are now,

Modern life and its vicissitudes. Recently, I saw some stat about the lack of sex and the situation is worse. Women's education also contributed. But whatever Japan's demography looks like, neighbouring South Korea is worse. Japan has the highest birth rate in East Asia. It is higher than China, both Koreas, Taiwan, Hong Kong and its cultural cousin Singapore. South Korea's TFR (total fertility rate) is the world's lowest at 0.68. South Korea's situation is precarious.

Some countries are trying to curb their increasing population while some others are slowly dying out due to decreasing population.

Actually, almost all countries globally are experiencing a reduction in population growth except for DRC, Niger Republic, Somalia etc. Once women are educated, a country's fertility rate reduces. Even Arab nations are witnessing reduced fertility rates.

AdesegunSanni89:
America na baba sha. Even American corporations like Microsoft, NVIDIA, META, AMAZON, APPLE etc big pass the gdp of many countries.

No cappings.

GDP is good, but on its own may not paint a realistic picture. Naturally the bigger countries will have overall bigger GDP.

A more useful picture is to compare with it's population which gives a better insight on the actual wealth of its citizens.

US, for instance, though number one here, slides down to number 8 on a GDP/capita basis. In that sense, Luxembourg is actually the richest country.

Nigerian alone has 5 times more corruption issues than the whole of Europe!!! Facts!

Yes they may be bigger overall, but those citizens in Europe are actually doing better. Like I said in previous post, it's not just the overall figure but must be compared with it's population.

AdesegunSanni89:
Texas economy even too far, how about those mega corporations like Microsoft that are more valuable than the GDP of many countries. Even individuals in America like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos are wealthier than many countries. USA no be anybody mate o.

United States of America will remain the Greatest country in the world nothing can change it.

Fineman2:
I can't find the largest economy in Africa here

Are you aware that Ghana's GDP has overtaken ours? It's really sad

casualobserver:


And I am telling you why India is where it is and we are where we are. Indians have self respect. Their national language is not English for example. They embrace their culture, they don’t give themselves foreign names, they have self respect, they have dignity, they don’t run to the EI or US with their domestic problems. They don’t sell themselves out to please the west. They don’t have an inferiority complex and try to be what they are not.


Am I the one that said God bless America? It is because of the eeediots who say “God bless America” that we are where we are.

So, those saying God bless Nigeria like Buhari, Tinubu, Jonathan, Akpabio, etc, are the reasons Nigeria is doing better than the nations listed above?!!


Guy, everything is wrong with your dull victim mentality!

Why won't God bless America? Do you think God tolerates wasters of resources like Nigeria.
When Nigeria is ready, ten America can't stop it. For now, let's keep shouting "emilokan, obidient and artikulate and let's see where that gets us.

exactly 💯

How are Indians that poor with such huge GDP. Abi their huge population is not productive enough for a decent per capital income.

India has millions billionaires and successful smes

GDP IS NECCESSARY BUT NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Now you see why the West place an extremely high value on Children and pay them monthly until age 20-22

Wow...

But I fail to see the corelation between population growth and education of women.

Maybe technology also contributes one way or the other.

Also is it the fertility that's the problem ie declining fertility rates or it's just sheer unwillingness to have sex?
