Seriously, what development are you guys making when your Accra is just like an ordinary suburb of Lagos like Ikorodu?

How come all other West African countries put together is barely half of Nigeria's GDP? How come your per capital incomes are still half of Nigeria's? What an irony.

Go and see what small countries like yours e.g Gabon and Namibia are doing, then come back and comment.

Abuja can't even be at pare with Accra, let alone Lagos that has 30% water supply.

Jayceon:
wait....you did not know that your underdeveloped country shoots some of it's tv ads in SA? Huahahahaha rude awakening ain't it

lol shey u know Lagos GDP(underdeveloped state) is higher than all ur states GDP . like I sed , ur country us like Europe(becos of white people) that's prob y dey go their.
but bro I'm telling u that even d poorest country in Africa is better than S.A.

Muafrika2:

Ha ha

At least my tribe wore leather garments Nothing wrong with leaves BTW.

But its interesting that when you look at the so called Nigerian traditional clothes, you can detect serious Islamic/asian influence.

Yes, we had some influences to our garments, but still you hardly find their replicas outside Nigeria because Nigerians are very creative. For centuries, we knew how to modify our clothings as the world trend changes.

Nowenuse:


Then explain to me why we have the highest income per capital in West Africa? Twice that of Ghana?

except if Nigerias Per capital income is 8000 dollars. And we all know it's not cos it's barely making 1500 dollars

Muafrika2:


Am sure they are there. Doing a range of things, legal and illegal

Exactly, just as you find the lebanese, Chinese and Indians all over the world doing things legally and illegally.
Infact i never knew the heart of Nigerians until i watched a documentary of Nigerians in China, South Korea and some central Asian nations. Many of them were even married to Asian women and living very affluently.
We have started experiencing an increase in the population of mixed race people in Nigeria because many of these mixed race children come back to Nigeria.

Nigerians are just...well Nigerians doing nigerian things that only nigerians can understand

You keep bragging about your entertainment but the world only recognizes SA as the true boss.we host the MAMAS,MTV LIP SYNCH BATTLE,BBN,THE VOICE NIGERIA,you shoot your tv ads in SA...you say I must recover the economy from whites?..tell Buhari to stop spending his lootings in Europe with his masters while nigerians live under 1$/day

You are an ignorant liar. Mama awards is rotated. It has been held in Nigeria.

Don't mind that ignorant soul (Just).

Many Nigerians run to Ghana because they cannot get admission in Nigerian universities (due to fierce competition)!
Many of us like myself have to stay at home for some years and study harder because we could not reach the cut-off mark for admission.
Nigerian govt universities are for the intelligent!

I wonder the intelligence of Ghanaians because you see people who could not secure admission into Nigerian universities running to Ghana and they get admission instantly as long as they have their cash at hand.

they run because, you don't have enough space in you universities to educate them yet you keep breeding like animals.
If the over all best student in WAEC could not get the course he applied for, then, you should know better

Abuja is the fastest growing city in Africa and it is the only city in Africa (with millions of people) that was planned entirely from the scratch.

How can you compare your Accra where people have been building houses anywhere they like for decades with Abuja that was a complete virgin land 24 years ago and was built with a master plan entirely from the scratch? Are you nuts?
It's obvious that most of your comments do not deserve a reply, just see the way you are embarassing yourself here.

so even if Nigeria GDP reduces to 2million dollars, is that wat will make u happy will u feel better dude ur inferiority i sgetting d best of u, stop being inferior. nigerians are human beings not gods and nigeria is a struggling nation like brazill and india.
nigeria is asleep and u are hating like this , just imagine wen nigeria wakes up im sure u will just kill urself with hate

Whatever,nigga! Even your own VP Osinbajo late last year said your GDP was only 90 tn naira-not me!

“Our entire budget size for 2016 is something in the order of just over N6 trillion, and we will probably be moving to about N7 trillion in the 2017 budget. But N7 trillion is certainly not the kind of money. It does sound like a fair amount of money, but certainly, it is not the kind of size that can really make a huge difference in a N90 trillion economy such as we have.

Like most Naijjans you're addicted to make believe and falsity to emotionally protect you from reality. With your real exchange rate of 470 naira to the dollar and a pop of 180 mn your REAL GDP NOMINAL IS BELOW OURS!!

Supporting meta consumption data like per capita oil and cement consumption strongly supports this consumption. Here's our oil consumption,liters per year and yours.
Nigeria 90.7
Kenya 118.6

http://world.bymap.org/OilConsumption.html

For comparison Ghana is 187. India's real GDP PPP of just under 6000$ is near yours uses 175.3 liters per capita yearly. The Swazis are at 204 while Nicaragua and Mongolia whose GDP's are allegedly close to yours are at 297 and 550.
You should be thanking we Kenyans for this free tutorial. Cement consumption data also raises question. Our 45mn consume 6.5 M Mt of cement yearly,while you with 4 times our pop trends at 18-20 M MT yearly-not even close!!

Go and change our records from the IMF and world bank in Europe, where our per capital income (nominal) is almost $3,000 and yours has not been able to cross the $1,500 range.
Officially, the average Nigerian is richer than the average Ghanian. What else could be more than that?

Seriously, i don't blame them. I blame Nairaland for giving these kind of people the opportunity to compare with us. You can imagine the insults. Accra cannot even compare with Port harcourt, Kaduna, Aba, Ibadan or Kano cities.
Lagos state and Ghana have the same population yet Lagos economy is about 3 times that of the entire Ghana.

I have been doing research about this clothe that west africans call traditional. Funny enough they used to wear leaves like most africans until the white ppl traded with them for slave. West africans sold their people for clothes from indonesia and malaysia. Nothing traditional about nigerian clothing. Unless made of leaves

Real african clothing are found on Zulu ppl.[right][/right]

Thank you,sir! I swear lies flow in the blood of Naijjans! Here are Igbos late 1800s

If not stupidity, why should one expect clothes of centuries ago to look exactly the same with the ones worn now? As time goes, we have to modify the clothes, but the original (ancestral) style/pattern remains!

I could not view your link, but one thing you must know is that the Igbos as well as most west African tribes enslaved each other and kept many slaves. As usual, you cannot expect the slaves to wear elaborate clothes and designs like their masters. Some of these slaves/slave communities were even kept naked by their masters and sold to the European buyers (where our African-American and Carribean brothers descended from).
So, yes, some of our people (slaves) did not wear clothes and you cannot use such pics to judge our Kings, emperors, royal families and free commoners.

Look at pictures of pre colonial and colonial Igbos (first picture) and other Nigerians.
