You are a Buffon.
Lack basic comprehensive skills.
Why not understand the thread before jumping in with both feet.

Proudlyngwa:
The earlier people realise that Nigeria is a poor country accept that fact and start working on it instead of blaming everything on the government the earlier we will start moving forward Nigeria is a very very poor country and only education I mean qualitative education at the primary levels can take us out of this scenario that we are in

wingmanIII:


You don't get it. I am more interested in their wage bill, explaining the huge gap in budget with Nigeria.

AZeD1:

Bros the poverty far from border small oh.

GreetMe:


If every region or state start generating revenue, they'll be a big difference..No need to blame anyone

lilwetdick:


in NY, you cant survive on that, rent is high and many bills to pay

you can go homeless with that type of pay per year

AZeD1:

I know.
You said it's borderline poverty but I'm saying 28k in NY is poverty and you are not close to crossing the poverty border line.

helinues:
California alone is also $215 bn

Meanwhile even if we have same budget, Africans are ready to divert 40% for personal use, 30% for goons and cronies and the rest for whatever it can covers ...

That's the difference between federalism and feeding bottle parasitism.
While United States operate federalism where each constituent state in the union have total control over their economic resources (economic activities and revenue generation and pay tax to the centre) and develop at their own pace, Nigeria operates a feeding bottle program where every state is handicaped to control of economic activities and recources in their areas and made to congregrate every month in Abuja for monthly allocation. This explains the absence of creativity and productivity considering the monthly flow of free oil money. Take away monthly allocation and 90 percent of states in Nigeria will die a natural death.

It will interest some people to know that states in America have;
- Their own supreme courts.
- They have their own state polic force (notably NYPD - Newyork Police Department).
- They own all natural recources domicile in their states.
The productivity and economic advancement of America was not by accident, they were made possible by cardinal principles vested on their states as listed above.

Guy's this is really serious

This is one States budget in USA
And still some of you think Nigeria can be like USA anytime soon.


Nigeria's budget #8.2trillion naira = 22.6 Billion United States Dollar


New York's budget 175 Billion United States Dollar = 63.3 Trillion Nigerian Naira




And you guys are expecting Miracle from where

Lol.... at Nigerians...
They want economic growth, yet anything that will bring economic growth, they will kill because of tribalism

Nigeria is actually doomed unless it can somehow re-invent itself through a detribalized leader.
Right now, only a military coup may save Nigeria.
Only an honest military man with patriotic zeal may reset Nigeria and kill tribalism. I wonder if such patriotic soldiers still exist?

Sirmuel1:



I am from Edo state too but I stay in the North. Good to meet you Bro!

2 different countries with different exchange rates.

What kind of useless comparison is this

Why don't you compare us with our mates? Compare us with South Africa, Ghana, Tunisia, Mozambique.

We are thousand years behind USA
