You can't 'disgrace' an entity that had no 'grace' to begin with.

Abbeyme:


lol.

But why Nija. Dem just dey hating on us no ni.

hahn:


Hating on what exactly?

A country that cannot boast of quality healthcare, constant electricity, good roads, security and is riddled with corruption, boko haram insurgency, high rates of poverty, crime etc?

You need to stop being delusional. Ordinary Ghana have better infrastructure. We are the laughing stock of Africa

Aidejay:
What will we say of the great USA
where a child will carry gun into a school and murder as many people or when an innocent man will be thrown in jail for a crime he didn't commit but because of his skin color he is guilty, where a group of people still hold the ideology that whites are supreme and now they've formed a union to further the cause of this belief, where enslaving your fellow human was business and normal, where in order to grow they imperialize the weak and step on them as ladders to prosperity, where they sponsor assassinations and internal conflict to aid civil and economic unrest, where they create an epidemic and then sell the cure, where they continue to stockpile nuclear weapons but sanction those that dare to do so to, where they subjugate history in order to create a sense of incapability in a race or group to further benefit their idealisms and goals, where they ignore international law but see it fit to evade and turn people's homes to war zones, where where where
Demigods of our time
Almighty USA can do no wrong

Complex and relatively sophisticated Nigeria and South Africa are the only Nations worth studying in in Africa south of the Sahara, which is why when it comes to Africa statisticians keep picking on Nigeria. Nigeria is more interesting as a developing entity than South Africa. Every now and then for comparative purposes, they may throw in Botswana and Rwanda.

Dickhead02:
So what are Ghanaians doing in Nigeria? why are they not in Ghana since Ghana is so great?

stop saying "ordinary" Ghana. if GHANA is ordinary, then what is nigeria that is a failed state?

Nigeria has yet again been ‘disgraced’ internationally, following an assignment Harvard University gave to its students in which Nigeria was used as a case study of a failed African country.


The question Harvard University gave its students reads;

Africa is growing. Seven of the the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, and the continent’s largest economies are becoming less dependent on extractive commodities. The continent’s rising middle class has demonstrated a taste for consumer goods and technological innovation, and Africa’s population-currently more than a billion people- is booming and overwhelmingly young at a time when populations in other regions are shrinking and aging.

Nigeria, sub-saharan Africa’s largest economy, epitomizes both the promise and the problems the continent faces in the 21st century. The contry had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation, despite having a developmental head start relative to countries like China and India, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue.. Now, after pathbreaking reforms followed by signs of retrenchment, Nigeria’s new President faced both vast opportunity and grave challenges. Would the country flourish or founder in this new era? We will analyze key reforms in Nigeria’s economy, significant political developments, and the choices facing the country’s fast-growing private sector.

1. Why did Nigeria fail to thrive between 1960 and 1999, particularly relative to China and India?

2. How would you characterize former President Obasanjo’s legacy?

3. Are you bullish or bearish on the next fifteen years for Nigeria? What would make you change your mind? What opportunities do you see? What are the challenges (and risks)


This is coming after a 15-year-old Nigerian girl was offered admission to the prestigious Harvard University in United States of America. Saheela Ibraheem is the 15-year-old daughter of a Nigerian immigrant family living in New Jersey, United States. Since news broke about Saheela’s incredible acceptance to 13 of American’s prestigious Universities, local and International media took interests in the teen’s success story.
