MrBrownJay1:


A) Nigeria was NEVER at the same level with India... stop fooling yourself. did Nigeria ever have an economy comparable to India? infrastructures/railway system or healthcare to be compared to India's own? can you even compare how modern the best city in India is compared to the best city in Nigeria?
B) you wanna compare Nigeria that is still ruled (like puppets) by the west til today, with countries that have been freed from their colonizers for close to 80yrs?!
C) india has nuclear weapon and developed its own chemical weapon to defend itself against foreign invaders... that makes India ONE OF A KIND country in this world that gets the respect they deserve. any country who doesnt have the means to defend itself against foreign invaders, cannot/shouldnt compare itself with other great nations of this world with nuclear weaponry. India is an emerging superpower and it would be an insult to even compare it with Nigeria!
D) India has the 2nd LARGEST army in the world, and a top 5 STRONGEST army in the world... Nigeria was never ever even top 30
E) India is part of BRIC for a reason, Nigeria is NOT part of BRIC for that exact same reason. stop comparing a child that was just born (Nigeria) with a teenager (India)...in this world where 1st world nations are considered "adults"
F) lets not even talk about India's IT sector, Space sector (they just landed an spacecraft on the moon), textile industry etc... no wonder India is ranked top 5 biggest economy in the world well before France, the UK, Canada etc...

comparing Nigeria with India, is like comparing a mouse with an elephant... they were NEVER on the same level!

India, the world's largest democracy, starts its elections. Narendra Modi has the highest approval rating of any world leader, so he is guaranteed reelection. For that reason, I went looking for the ruling party's manifesto. The Bharatiya Janata Party started off this document of promises by rolling out its achievements. Here are a few:

- From fragile 5 to being one of the top 5 economies
- Constructing 28 km of national highways every day
- Constructing 14.5 km of railway lines every day
- Expanded metro services to 20+ cities
- Achieved 100% electrification
- Achieved the fastest 5G rollout in the world with the most affordable data prices
- Became the first country in the world to land successfully near the South Pole of the moon
- Increased paid maternity leave from 12 to 26 weeks
- Enabled the creation of the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem
- Zero major terror attacks in any city since 2014

These are the kind of stuff you call achievements, not APC telling us about TraderMoni and school feeding programmes...
Copied!

You're talking of India today, it wasnt always so. I'm when we got independence, India wasnt much different from Nigeria. We let tribalism ruin us!

MrBrownJay1:


when Nigeria got its independence, India was already +13yrs free of its colonizers... India that was already single handedly going to war with foreign countries in the 1960s (aka vs Pakistan) and WON... its that India you want to claim that they were in same level as Nigeria?!?!?!?!?!

you are not serious bro!

jazzman7711:


Ridiculous comparison.

India's population is higher than ALL AFRICA.

India has 1.4 billion people.

Africa has 1.2 billion people.

You should compare INDIA with AFRICA, not with Nigeria.

When you compare India with Africa, those indices are a LOT closer.

This is ridiculous.

India's annual budget is AT LEAST 400 BILLION DOLLARS!!!

Nigeria's is roughly 40 billion dollars.

What is the point of your education when simple common sense eludes you?

ValarDoharis:
If you say it because of number of years, Nigeria cannot attain the height of India if given the time. My point is that Nigeria is performing poorly in their self governance.

From my understanding of your point which is not very clear, we should not compare ourselves with India because they're superior humans? If you say they're successful because they were able to properly govern themselves then what really is the bone of contention?

To be honest, I'm really trying to understand you point. Ok, if we leave india and compare with South Korea, i believe we were at par at some point....but they're light years ahead now. My point is we cannot govern ourselves due to barriers we created.

MrBrownJay1:


comparing Nigeria with India is not only foolish, its ABSURD!!!!!

MrBrownJay1:


what do you believe made what Nigeria is today (if not Nigerians)?
what i am trying to tell you is that Nigeria and India shouldnt remotely be compared, not because Indians are superior humans (such country doesnt exist)... India is in a different league because...
- they have a DIFFERENT HISTORY
- they are DIFFERENT PEOPLE
- they have DIFFERENT POLITICS
- they have DIFFERENT RULERS
- they have DIFFERENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
- they have DIFFERENT MILITARY POWER
- they have NUCLEAR POWER

apart from yeye oil/gas that Nigeria cant even refine themselves thus have to work with foreign thieving companies that gives you peanuts for your natural ressources (and get the best deal in that equation)... that same oil/gas that these yeye leaders (that you've elected) steal and share among themselves instead of using the funds to improve the country's major infrastructures (and better the lives of Nigerians).... what really do you have in Nigeria (to be proud of)?

Nigerians celebrate mediocrity because thats only what they have/know. Nigerians have never known anything other than mediocrity.... so even though their lives aint better than yesterday, they will be glued to watch big brother Naija and celebrate some yeye people in a house; they will celebrate giving away their money to some charlatan-in-robe promising them a better life while continuing to live in poverty (while that same fraudster-in-robe lives in a mansion in Banana island and drives a Rolls Royce etc); they will complain about the price of Dollar and/or items in the market, yet they elected the ignoramus that removed subsidy that created such nightmare environment; they will say nothing while that yeye president creates a company called Oando PLC with his children and have that company settle the decade long lawsuit that the Nigerian gov had against Shell/ENI, after putting his children in charge of Oando Plc (a company who now suddenly owns all the onshore assets of Eni)... this type of madness is the reason why Nigerians are celebrating mediocrity, but sadly remains at the bottom while other countries strive.
