No it just means that some countries with a lower GDP per capita offer better living standards than so called "wealthier" nations. Cuba is a perfect example.these so-call statistics don't mean a thing.some poorer countries are developing more than the richer ones
Nigeria this, South Africa that.
I left a nigerian forum which South Africans are disturbing us in to come here and just to see Nigerians and South Africans fighting. Enough fighting. Who gives a ****, Jeez. Nigeria has achieved alot in just 8 years political freedom and not only that in those 8 years, corrupt leaders are still leading it. Seriously, Do you guys want Nigeria to achieve something, majority of you all haven't in just fucking 8 years. We try our best, we are not magicians you know.
@ the SA that stated Nigeria is not an emerging market, read up on a country
"Nigeria is classified as an emerging market, and is rapidly approaching middle income status[citation needed], with its abundant supply of resources, well-developed financial, legal, communications, transport sectors and stock exchange (the Nigerian Stock Exchange), which is the second largest in Africa. Nigeria is ranked 37th in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) as of 2007."
"According to the Economist Intelligence Unit and the World Bank, Nigerian GDP at purchasing power parity has nearly doubled from $170.7 billion in 2005 to 292.6 billion in 2007. The GDP per head has jumped from $692 per person in 2006 to $1,754 per person in 2007."
Abeg, we have problems but at least give us some time. How many African country can say they acheived all this in 8 years after getting out of military dictatorship? Are we superhumans that you all except us to be the best in just 8 years?
In 2002, Nigeria was labeled the 22th poorest country in the world. In 2008, we didn't even make the 50th poorest country in the world. that's a huge achievement.
We jumped from having the one of the lowest GDP in Africa to the 3rd highest GDP in Africa. Abeg, we try our best. We are not superman you know

It was a Nigerian forum.So if you are fighting against sounthafricans why don't you go to the South African Forum . We don't need your fight. rmemeber it's between you guys and South Africa. Not everyone is interested in your fight.
If i remembered right. I said "Enough fighting" meaning people need to stop fighting.
I stated how do people except us to be the best in 8 years. Hell we were among the lowest during Abacha era but we moved to be one of the best in the 8 years of freedom. People need to stop thinking we can solve all our problems in just freaking 8 years. Give or take, i wonder where Nigeria would be in another 8 years.
IF you're going to be reading my comment, at least interpret what i say correctly. Thanks
It's ok to fight as along as no one goes personal. Get used to it.It was a Nigerian forum.

That's what happens between countries.
I wonder when Nigeria-South Africa fighting going to end here.Why can we all just get along peacefully. There's nothing wrong prasing the acheivement of any country but writing bad things about other hurts.
You think it's only South Africa and Nigeria. as i said get used ot it. Every country does have someone they fight against.I wonder when Nigeria-South Africa fighting going to end here.Why can we all just get along peacefully.
