Was even supporting Kenya here, but you're spewing nonsense. If you have different stats, post them here. And the Wikipedia stats are quoted directly from various sources: the IMF, World Bank, and even the bleeping CiA. The links are right there in the Wiki articles. Cook up your own stats and publish if you disagree with those bodies. Don't come here and distort reality just because statistics are inconvenient for you.

Don't know what oil production has to do with anything either. For one, we didn't deny your rights to utilize any God-given resources you have. Secondly, Oil if anything has been a curse to us. Nigeria was the fastest developing country on the planet before we discovered oil. Oil made us a lousy bunch of losers and destroyed our competitive confederacy with a lose attachment to the centre into a unitary governance style that allocated money from the centre. Our agricultural and industrial base was gutted as we stupidly tried to run a large country with a large population with less oil money than tiny Qatar or UAE.

You really do not know how much hatred these Kenyans and SAns have for Nigerians.
Now i see the reason why Tanzanians will never want a united country with Kenyans.

Seriously, i hate oil and feel like cursing the day it was discovered. Jos my city of origin (over 1million people) today was built from the scratch due to the Tin and columbite industry which was Nigeria's largest mineral export and 4th largest commodity export during colonial period.
Nigeria was among the largest world exporters of Hides & skin, Groundnut, Oil palm, Cocoa, Rubber and many more commodities. We were building our regions without oil. Oil came and many lazy.

However, thank God for the agircultural and industrial revolution that is now sweeping across Nigeria, since oil price fell. You can imagine that even with the lower oil price, we have come out of recession.
If we continue with the agricultural and industrial revolution, there is no telling where we'll be in a decade from now. We will be at same level with countries like Brazil.

go and ask them why they were attacked cause quite frankly I don't give a fück.Speaking of the world watching...do you think the world don't know of tribal killings that go on inside Nigeria? Did white South Africans also tell you to slaughter each other over some trivial nonsense like tribe? Nobody has killed nigerians like how you have been killing each other

I'm lazy and xenophobic yet my country is 1000x better than yours...come again!!!

This might sound racist (in fact, it is racist) but your country wouldn't be anything close to what it is without whitey. Deep down, I'm sure you know this. a beautiful city like Cape Town would never exist with clowns like Zuma leading the country. Same way Zimbabwe was a leading African country until the Mugabe clown show tried to appropriate whitey's wealth to the native folk. And it is true that South African men are lazy as hell. And violent. And a serious rape threat. And xenophobic due to loads of losers that can't stand the fact some foreigners thrive in their midst. The very notion that they make out like Nigerians imported crime to South Africa is some of the most laughable shit I've read.

Muafrika2:


Let's not forget that these awards have alot of rigging and corruption especially where Nigerian entertainers are involved

South Africans are the owners of Africa magic.
Why would they rig against their own actors over Nigeria's?
Are they also rigging the millions of dollars these movies are making on weekly basis?

Don't mind these low and primitive-minded folks.
Do you know that the whites with 10% of the population still control 80% of the wealth of the country? The 40 million blacks of SA are worth just about $70 billion just like Kenya. The only thing they have to enjoy over Kenya is infrastructure which the whites built.
That's why when you go to Capetown with the best infrastructure, the blacks are just 10% in the city (a minority). You mostly find them in their villages, Bantusans and Jozi slums.
Instead of them to face their white masters, they prefer to face other Africans in their midst.

why won't it be better, wen white people are developing it. u shud be ashamed of ursef that ur country (a black nation) is controlled by white people . no offense but ur country is a disgrace to black people, that's y S.A doesn't have any influence on africa cos people see that everything in ur goddam country is owned by white people , and I think its very disgusting and irritating that a black nation still takes orders from white people and they dominate d country.

I know they settled there years ago but still. black people settled in america too, but u can Neva see black men dominating america it's not possible. but u guys are just proving to d whites that Africans are still stupid by letting them take over S.A

y do u tink nobody looks up to south Africa or wants to get influenced by south Africans

I min u S.Aans cannot even boast of an achievement ,everything that ur country has achieved is becos of white people . it so messed up, even wen S.A won miss world , the person that won it was white, and I'm like WTF!!!(does it min that S.A girls are ugly or are they too lazy to compete or wat)

everything in ur country will forever be seen as white peoples achievement , an extension of Europe

Nigeria has achieved a lot for d black race and all these achievements were by BLACK PEOPLE!!!

I can Neva compare my great country to S.A becos u guys are still in bondage , seriously. and again Nigeria can destroy S.A and there's notin ur stupid white people can do . my God south Africa is an embarrassment to Africa

Eastwalk:
Just to correct you Nigeria GDP is $482,986 billion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nigeria

that is if you are still calculating it with a 170 Naira to a dollar. If you use the central bank exchange rate or the real exchange rate to calculate it, it comes way down

When the exchange rate was 200#, our economy was worth $530 billion, it dropped to $480 billion because of the exchange rate. Besides, if you understand economics you will know that an economy does not fall exactly proportionate to the currency fall. No it doesn't!

Do you know that Nigeria's currency is higher than that of South Korea? How come they are still an advanced nation? with such a high Gdp?

South Korea is a manufacturer and exporter (it's advantageous to them because their products are sold to countroes like Nigeria.) Meanwhile, Nigeria imports everything and with its weak currency, it's a disservice to its economy as it makes everything expensive.

Someone shared this in my group and I remembered how Nigerians cry that things are working in other countries because they are done by white people. SMH

Was definitely a success in Naija

Ok what exactly do you mean by 'poorly behaved guest' ? What type of a man do you I am ? A Yahoo boy, drug dealer, swindler? I contribute to every country I have lived in positively. As a Nigerian I carry a creed to spread the love of melanin, which you Kenyans don't get. The most serious law I have ever broken in Kenya is driving without a license. So because I talk about the ills in Kenya, I'm a poorly behaved guest?

Nigerians produce agricultural cash crops like cashew nuts, coffee seeds to these are in minute proportions and are exported to West African countries or some times as far as Morocco. Nigeria exports financial services in form of loans to ECOWAS nations. Nigeria has purchasing power, importation cartels run the economy hence you need to understand that demand is also a power, imagine if we boycotted importations from Benin Republic, their economy would crash, US demand fuels world production, just like China needs US demand to produce and profit, so does South Africa need our demand based economy. But make no mistakes, there could be a shift in the nearest future, it's only a matter of time, you seem to think Nigerians are not capable of production, accusing us of not producing our own tooth picks, what exactly is a tooth pick.

It takes understanding of Nigeria's socio-political environment to understand these things, just stick to your Kenyan stuff, tell your ladies if they hate Nigerian men please avoid Nigerian men, be pragmatic and for GOD sake get some self esteem too, and this goes to the South Africans on this thread too.

There are a lot of Lebanese, Indian and Chinese people in Nigeria. That doesn't mean Nigeria is better than those countries. Plenty of Southerners in Nigeria live in the far more impoverished North. You can go to Somalia or Sudan and seen loads of Nigerians. Plenty of white people left their European home lands to build new nations in remote stretches of Africa, Oceania, North America and Latin America. What does migration patterns have to do with anything? Having by far Africa's largest population also skews perception. I can't tell you why any Nigerian moves to Ghana, but I can tell you there's no life the average emigrant can build in Accra which they couldn't have built in Lagos.

And yes, we've seen huge economic upheaval as oil priced crashed in the international market. Prevailing statistics still don't support the notion that either Kenya or Ghana are better off.

Yes, we rigged UN, IMF, World Bank and even CIA statistics. The jealousy in you is strong. If you're so pained that prevailing economic indices is inconvenient for whatever spin you're trying to make, produce your own stats. It still remains a fact that Kenya's GDP per capita from several different international bodies consistently show the same trend of being roughly half of Nigeria's. Stop taking it so hard.

That is the offense I take with them. They seem to believe we are incapable of industrialization and I keep try to explain to them it's not that simple, we are perfectly capable with minds and resources, what we don't have is political support and economic capital to finance it. Our government has us signing deals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and we have coal mines waiting to be dug.

Even in software development , most applications are now home grown and used by Nigerians at home and abroad. The potential is there, it's capital we need.

Yes, but Nigeria has reduced it's importation over the years. We have almost stopped importation of food products like Rice, Fruit juices, Canned tomatoes e.t.c. By next year, we would start exporting rice.
So this is why we have been able to come out of recession. The local manufacturing industry is growing gradually.

Just30:

Yes i know that.
The Nigerian manufacturing and agricultural industry is now growing. Importation is reducing. That is why you cannot expect our economy to fall proportionate to the weakness of our currency.
The point i am just trying to make.

Exactly, do you know that most East Africans wear Western attires to all their social gatherings? They do not have a local fashion industry for their traditional attires.
