The whites stayed a very long time in South Africa hence their high level of development relative to other African countries. Maybe we Nigerians should not have rushed to chase away the British in 1960. Should have let them stay till 1999.

The giant of Africa taking the 10th position, well with visionary leaders we will get back to our position as one of the first three.

I agree with you. Nigerians messed up big time. You're all suffering today because you lack patience and are damn too obsessed with power. All you cared about was to become an independent nation without minding the aftereffects that comes after it.

Nigeria made the list, thanks to Buhari.

Sai Baba!!!

An average Nigerian is expected to die at 43 years old. Why did the op omit that?

Morocco is far far far far more developed than Nigeria

With the benefit of hindsight, most African countries were not ready for independence, especially in West Africa.
