Killerofpigs: Why is hate eating you up like this?. If you have anything against his analysis of the economic value of Nigeria, while not go online and educate yourself rather than this stupid generalization of a region in the country just because your candidate lost an election. Tinubu is your president today whether you like it or not, so suck on that while you take a lesson on ethnical respect. 2 Likes |

olisaEze: ^^^ The general point you (and others) are making is valid and duly noted. But there are some assertions commonly made about this country that are inaccurate, to put it mildly. In reality, most of Nigeria's soil is low fertility or low productivity soil. Over 60% of the country's soils fall into the very low productivity to low productivity brackets. All the talk about Nigeria's fertile land is to put it bluntly, a myth. Nigeria's weather is also...not quite perfect. It varies widely (from the hot, highly humid weather of most of Southern Nigeria) to the very hot, relatively lower humidity of large parts of Northern Nigeria. The high humidity and searing heat do eventually take their toll on people, livestock and even machines. 4 Likes |

mrvitalis:It is not nothing though.. it is like everything we have. However, truly Nigeria in revenue terms is too poor compared to the population size... Even Angola, Algeria are richer (oil$ revenue/person).. For other context saudi arabia produces ×10 the oil we produce with much lower cost and a fifth of our population. A serious govt ought to aggressively work on increasing export revenues (oil, mining or agric) and also encourage production activities leading to import substitution 2 Likes |

crazygod: Funny thing is, sometimes when i respond in kind or put forward a argument that exposes the hypocrisy and bigotry of the fool i’m responding to, all of a sudden the autobot kicks in and my post is ‘miraculously’ deleted while i’m ‘conveniently’ banned from the politics section for 24hrs! Job done…..they’ve silenced the ‘okoro’, and can carry on with the ethnic-baiting and bigotry!

Nigeria is never a poor country but a corrupt country, we have all it takes to compete with China and India even in tech only if Nigeria can develop its tech industry starting from providing at least 24hrs electricity in all the major cities in each Geo political zones then upscale Aba made. But a country without 24hrs electricity is poorer than a village toilet 3 Likes |

mrvitalis:oil industry is something. Dangote built his monster for $19B. If invested, oil income is huge, if wasted it is indeed nothing. In fact all the wealth in the world is nothing is used the way Nigerian govt use wealth. Even smaller countries without oil who invested are reaping massively. Not ours. |
Re: Nigeria A Poor Country – Presidential Committee by Shikena(m): 12:52pm On Jun 29 |
Yes, we need to face reality and get serious to grow our economy. Our combined budget for federal and state is less than that of New York city alone. Also, some countries that we ignorantly underate are far richer. The state of Sao Paulo in Brazil has a budget of $60b which is twice the size of Nigeria's budget plus all our states combined.

Nigeria is not poor by resources value. The SE alone has so much gas, that at a certain depth, gas is so excessive that e dey cover other mineral resources. Right after the civil war, the enemies sold rights to experts, Those experts did numerous underground pipings around and inland the SE. Some correct people are researching to see if these illegal gas extractions, are inadvertently causing some erosions in the SE. The SE alone has more gas and more oil than the mostly official oil and gas in the so called SS. They don't want to tell igbos that, in order to psychologically depress the great igbo tribe. But the truth has prevailed. Gowon didn't know the extent of the oil and gas in the SE, it was Buhari and Babangida, that benefitted from what murtala and Oga Obj explored. It was the best kept secret. Unofficial oil and gas for individuals. If you notice, ibb tine had new and more rich with no work people. The people that couldn't break in the circle of oil well or gas space partners with foreigners, began civil servant corruption and 419 letterhead corruption. Everyday new ripe spot for pipe burying for gas, or oil well - new oil and gas find. Even the resources in the so called SS, are on most times on igbo side or near igbo side. The igbos have been blessed. To even make it sweeter, our neighbors are blessed. Our resources and Congolese resources, are what china is using to form electronic, electrical, and infrastructure experts. With all our resources, we have been reduced to beggars. And those leeching tribes have been feeding fat on our resources, all they do is take a handful igbos, and make them very rich, with a few oil and gas wells. The Nigerian leaders don't know anything, or anything technical, so, before they liked to take upfront money, and maybe 5 to higher percent for wells. Now, the corrupt officials still take upfront money, which the foreigners don't like to do anymore, if they can avoid it, due to insecurity, and for gas - they can do underground piping to submarine, or surface specialty ship with unique piping configurations. with the knowledge of liquified gas, they are doing their thing. The world is not playing around, and the Nigerian leeches are not playing, they have everything to loose. If these blessed lands were theirs, they would have been very impatient with diplomacy. |

Shikena:before these monsters got power it was much, now they have power, we are poor. Truth is we are rich enough to invest in necessities and not the wastage we have in mind as prosperity. Even if we all decide to work and have 60B usd like sao paolo, can govt support the masses with the infrastructure needed? At the rate we are going, we may need to spend 100T usd on infrastructure before we can support economic activities that will give us 60B usd . 1 Like |

Poor country yet your Legislooters earns more than USA and SA's lawmakers combined Nigeria a poor country, yet you want to buy two new jets for the President even we have about six jets on his fleet. Even Tinubu already had a PJ that Presidents of other nations hires. Poor country that caters for only the politicians at the expense of the masses Poor country where the NNPC makes over a $100B in oil revenue yearly but under-remits a paltry 10% of that while the rest are stolen we are not serious in this Country |

Totally different topic. Before the current monsters got in power what stopped the previous monsters from building the needed infrastructure? Obasanjo’s 8 years saw $16b wasted on a project to solve our power problem but nothing to show. They are all the same, most of them just changed parties. RepoMan007: 2 Likes |
