India is a nation on the rise. They are not China yet but fast becoming China.
The problem with Nigeria is we are not productive. If Nigerians are as productive as China and every citizen pays substantial amount as tax then govt will be happy to have more citizens. In Nigeria oil income meets our needs largely and this oil income doesn't grow by population.
The only reason Nigerian leader love population growth is for election purpose.

Esejojo:



Please. Let me get you right. So, you mean the more the population, the more the tendency to have potholes on the roads?

Dpharisee:
Thats what you get with Quality Leadership

eleojo23:
Chai...!
Even Rwanda!
We need change of mindset down here. Government property is our property. Don't do things that will damage the environment and make it look filthy. Here people throw things on the road and into the gutters anyhow. These wastes end up blocking the few drainages that we have, and the water remains on the road thereby leading to potholes

Idrismusty97:
Probably because of their huge resources(i.e revenue) to complement it. Resources and population goes hand in hand. Compare with India which population is almost same with China but generate much lower revenue.

chukwutope:


India is much smaller geographically compared to China. This would not be a fair comparison. The people in India are free, unlike china where there is government restriction even to have 2 kids until recently. Google, banned, youtube banned, facebook banned - muslims ill-treated. To me that is an oppressive society.

seguno2:


Are you saying that Nigeria did not exist before independence?
Your family and your people have no history before 1968, which is 50 years ago?
Is that what you mean?
Does that make sense to you

awelekiti:
My lasgidi is much better. And our population in Lagos would swallow that of Rwanda

djon78:



Stop spewing falsehood. Nigerians are very productive. Nigerians do extremely well outside. Like in US Nigerians are known to be very productive.

The problem is having the right leadership that will be able to create the right pathway and blueprint for the development of Nigeria. A leadership that will harness Nigeria's natural and human resources effectively. Rwanda has gotten that in Paul Kagame. Leadership is the key.

RexTramadol1:






And how many Indians are flown to Nigeria for surgeries or health related issues





You'd better wake up to new realities, even years back




India decided to work 24hours, you know why?


We are talking about infrastructure, good road, good water and neatness which India don't have.

To make up for lost time.

That's not true

I have been to so so many cities and villages across Africa (At the last count, more than 50)
So I know what I'm saying

In ivory Coast, I have been to Khorhogo, Man, Abidjan, Yamaosoukro and even Bouaké

The development's in each of these places is better than their counterparts in Nigeria

Even villages close to the border with Liberia has constant electricity and in some cases running water

How many cities in Nigeria can boast of that?

In Benin I have been ri cotonou, Abomey, Abomey Cakavi, Ouudah, even Parakou
even though the infrastructures there are not spectacular, they maintain it and it is functional enough, with running water from a central board and electricity everywhere

What of Togo? Lomé and Atakpame try very much in infrastructures (running water and electricity)
unfortunately they are not economically buoyant like say Nigeria or ivory Coast

Ghana nko? I have been to Cape coast, Accra, Tema and Kumasi.
What they have on ground is functional, and they are expanding their infrastructures into takoradi, even to Kakum village, I saw all these with my eyes.
though their water system is kind of fractured and the country expensive due to high vat, they still try and the development spread

Let me not go into other places I have seen, let's just manage this ones first

The painful truth is that the rest of Africa is progressing abeit at a slow rate, and leaving us behind


We need to sit up

War for where again. I beg think straight.

Nigeria became an independent Nation 1960. Before they were ruled by the British. Before then they were just scattered tribes. It was Europeans that even gave it a shape.
So Nigeria is 58 years of age. US is over 300years, Europe has more than 3000years of administrative history as far back as Alexander the great, Greek and Roman Empire. If you read the bible , Jesus was born when Ceaser Augustus then emperor of Rome decreed census for the entire Roman Empire. So Mary and Joseph went back to Bethlehem there village to be counted and Jesus was then Born.

China has been civilised as far back as before Christ.

codemaniacs:
you did not answer seguno2 questions...

Your family and your people have no history before 1968, which is 50 years ago?
Is that what you mean?

the ethnic NATIONS not 'tribes' already had shape the demographic in 'Nigeria' has always been there..

No european gave my family and my people their identities or shape...

In case you can't see it with your eyes, Africa had farm cities, their own languages, their own art, their own culture, their own writing systems, their own food e.t.c long before the europeans got to Africa...

Mizwisdom:
Only 12.5 million people? That's even less than Lagos population. No wonder Nigeria is viewed as the Giant of Africa. Autojosh show us a country in Africa of about 200 million with no pot holes, that'll be a fair comparism. Nevertheless it will be nice to tour Kigali
