Educated people jumped on a misleading headline to vent about polygamy. I avoid religious/ethnic topics but when educated people started comparing us to China & India (most populated countries), it made me shake my head in shock!

1. By size, Nigeria is 923,763 km²,
2. China, 9.597 million km² & India 3.287 million km². The GDP in Nigeria was worth $397.30 in 2018 while China, $13.37 trillion & India $2.72 trillion. Guangzhou in China has 13.3m people with GDP of $171.6 billion while Maharashtra in India has GDP in 2018 of US$340
billion,
3. almost all of Nigeria's GDP with a population of 126 million on a size of 307,713 km² a third of Nigeria's size . What does this prove? Single states in these countries are not only richer than all of Nigeria but have less population on similar land size like Nigeria. When
4. you enter any of the over 200 supermarkets owned by Nonggongshang group in China, 99% of things you see on sale are all made in China. Reliance group owns over 600 reliance fresh/reliance smart stores all over
India, with over 5,000 permanent staff & more than 100,000 as
5. contract staff, contractors/suppliers/cooperatives etc. With their backward integration model, they partner many farmers scattered in over 40 towns in India. You enter their stores, even bouillon cubes, rice flour, wheat, sugar, salt are all made by reliance group. In Nigeria
6. stores/malls, over 50% of items are sale are IMPORTED! First 11 months of 2019, China exported US$2.260 trillion worth of goods with broadcasting equipment's valued at $231B & computers at $146B. India is estimated to have done over US$330 billion in total exports for the
year
7. 2018 with almost $9.3 billion in diamond export yearly, $5.32 billion in rice export, $25.4 billion in refined petroleum, 14.4 billion of pharmaceuticals. etc What about Nigeria? 2018 it was estimated we exported crude oil valued at $43.6 billion, petroleum gases at
8. $5.9 billion the remaining top 7 exports put together did not exceed $7 billion. Then someone sits down to type that Nigeria is rich & therefore can take care of every Tom, Dick & Harry? Are you aware our crude export has been in decline for over 4 years now? The countries we
9. are comparing ourselves to; feed themselves, develop infrastructure at the speed of light meanwhile we were told to grow our own rice & people came on twitter
to stage a revolution. @cenbank decided to place restriction on forex for dairy import meanwhile providing
10. intervention funds for local dairy companies & mandating banks to provide loans to dairy startups, PhD
holders came on this same twitter to lament about the restriction but forgot to talk of the funds made available. Some even went ahead to say it was to punish a section of
11. the country & bless another section. Government shut down imports of rice via land borders insisting rice must pass through the ports so as to make sure duty is
paid, we started online riots against it. Some evil minded idiots came here to declare there is no more rice in
12. circulation only spaghetti. No one has said do not marry all the women you set your eyes on, no one said you shouldn't stick your dicks into any pussy you see!
All that was said is, make sure you have the resources to take care of the consequences & you are still complaining?
13. So you want the country filled with children and then expect government to cater for all of them? A Nigerian wants free/cheap medicare, education, good roads,
electricity etc but tell same Nigerian to pay taxes, invest in
agriculture/value chain, control reproduction etc
14. they draw daggers & start sewing threads! Tell a Nigerian that he can start a small scale business since we all cant be bankers, government workers etc they will scream blue murder! A country of takers & very few givers!A country of people who only think what they can get
15. from government but never what they can do for country. A country of food is ready but never how do we cook the food! Nigerians never wanting to take responsibility for anything, always ready to pass the blame to another person, tribe, religion etc. @dino_melaye can start a
16. business in Kogi that will employ at least 1,000 citizens while making millions of
naira in profit yearly from the wealth he has amassed from government but he would prefer to continue looting from government so he can buy cars & mansions to post on social media. We see
17. them on social media; sharing give away all for clout & follower-ship meanwhile people in their home towns are suffering everyday. People who just want to oppress their neighbors & show them how their money too long. That's why looters & their wards have the audacity to come
18. online & insult hardworking Nigerians. People who have kept the country in its bad state are suddenly the ones who have a master plan to fix it because they are no longer in position to steal. This is the mindset of most Nigerians; waiting for an opportunity to loot, sit
19. tight on their asses throwing invective on social media while waiting for government to feed them. Then the ones government does, they claim they didn't see it or tell
government they alone know best how it should be done. Monkeys! Una go tire!
