Religion and corruption has finished us in Nigeria

China is 70yrs old? Lol... Forget official date Bro... China has been a nation and knownn civilization thousands of years before the territory we call Nigeria knew what wearing clothes meant...

China is way old bro... One of the oldest organized and even standard civilization the world has ever known...

Yeah I get your point and you are right! 59yrs should be way more than enough to build a decent nation, yeah Nigeria is a failed nation. But don't compare Nigeria to China... In fact you should compare Nigeria to United States that was built yesterday before comparing it China...

China? That nation na fossil oo

raker300 copying China model will fail... We for the past 59 years copy Western ideas such as democracy and capitalism we failed... What we need is home grown solutions.

That is what insecurity has caused someone. Small house see the size of padlock

nakaman:
nice write up. But in china 90% of their population speak mandarine. In Nigeria 1km is another language. Their is no unity, if the whole nigeria were to speak fulani/hausa then they can adapt. Its impossible

Must Everybody Speak Hausa/fulani? Dont We Have Pigeon English Everybody Understands? Our Problem Is Leadership Period.

The real problem of Nigeria is putting illiterate in sensitive positions. eg OP.
China is not 70

timesup234:
clap for yourself dundee united

Get off NL, Chinese devil.

If Nigeria Can get a country they will be sending poison every week to eat, get fat and fall sick as China is doing to the US, I believe Nigeria will look better than they are today .... better way to learn from China!!!

At least appreciate countries that are doing well. Basic amenities n infrastructure my azz. The only infrastructure Nigerians are known for, is stom@ch infrastructure

MASTERCHIEF0847:


Yes Rwanda , Ghana are making progress but these countries still lack basic amenities and infrastructure. I don't know what aboki countries are but am talking development in terms of infrastructure and economics these countries are still way below the poverty line so?

the truth is Dat Nigeria was never a one country, it was brought together as one country as a result of the selfish interest of the British government, all we need is to correct the error, let the northerners stand on their own, let IPOB stand on their own, let the yorubas stand on their own, let Niger delta stand on their own,, then all these problems will be history

What have they been learning for almost 60yrs and what do you think they can learn that will make them be like China?

there JAH why can't u just take me out of this damn f*cking settlement called nigeria

gidgiddy:

Upon that, China is a one party state that does not practice democracy

And what does democracy have to do with this.

MASTERCHIEF0847:


That is not an excuse. What of Malaysia and Singapore that have a combination of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups as citizens?
Diversity cannot stop a determined people from development. Nigeria is not a serious nation.

Religion is their unifying factor in those countries. Majority are Muslims. For a country to develop there must be a cultural factor that unite people be it religion or language. Nothing unites.

Is that an excuse for Nigeria NOT to get its onions right after 59 year of independence? NIGERIA AS A GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION VIA EXISTENCE OF EACH STATE HAS BEEN EXISTING MORE THAN 300 YEAR. ...WHY HAVEN'T THOSE STATES DEVELOPED?

Leave them, they want to claim they know Chinese history by comparing ancient China to independent Nigeria.
They know history so much and didn't know how the western powers exploited the Chinese people, nor they didn't know the Chinese experienced famine and given their population had enough pressure to cater for it's people. China didn't even begin it's economic growth until 40 years ago, so forget all this long story they're giving, for a country to lift close to a billion people out of extreme poverty is no small feat, compared to 200 million, abeg.

emeritus00:
You forget to narrate the whole story. 30 million Chinese died as result of the country policy to ensure that everything was produced locally and closed the country to external goods. Things were very hard for them but they eventually come out bigger. The same Nigeria wanted to do but we couldnt endure. Politics and ethnicity in Nigeria would not allow us to unite and make decisive steps.

The Great leap forward was not because of the country trying to produce anything locally, go and read on the Great leap forward.

DeZoro:
This is master piece. China have designed this economy to only suit their citizen and not other else. May God help Nigeria.

And these is where our problem lies.... God God God

What is the cultural factor that unites Americans?

What is the cultural factor that unites Americans?

Ethinicity and language are main factor. Religion is next. More than 70% of Americans are Caucasians. Also,more than 70% are Christians. National language is English.

More than 70% are not Caucasian. Also being Caucasian is more of a genetic/racial thing rather than cultural, you're getting it all mixed up.

Don't change the narrative, am still on it that diversity doesn't hinder development.

Yes it does not but there must be unifying factor. Is there any factor unifying us? NO. Religion and language are cultural factors dividing us. I have not seen any developed nation without either of the two factors unifying them.

Malaysia: Malays are 65% of the population and Muslim, Chinese are 20% and Buddhist, Indians 10% and Hindu while the rest others are Christians.
What will you say is their unifying factor?

So you see there is no single unifying factor but several factors. Why is our case different?

Language and religion are unifying factors. Other are minorities

There are many unifying factors. Most developed nations have more than unifying factors. In nigeria, there is none. In 70s or 80s,Tai Solarin suggested we should have a national language-Pidgin or British English and there must be mass education of adults to speak the language. Also basic education must be compulsory and free. Then because of his philosophy as atheist nobody listed to him.
Now for Nigeria to develop there must be at least a unifying factor. Which factor can unite us? I cannot see any. Therefore I do not see Nigeria moving forward.

Language is not a unifying factor, Malays speak bahasa melayu, Chinese speak mandarin and the Indians speak tamil and hindu. Also they have different religions.
Nigerians are not just serious simple. No excuses.
