Is Nigeria the New China?

If you see anything about Nigeria's near rise you'll see it compared to a far away nation of China. As China gives more jobs to Nigeria many people see similarities as to how China got so big. But will Nigeria's population rise and global power growth mimic those seen in China, or are there other factors at play? How will Nigeria face against the future?

As a Nigerian, I feel like the overpopulation will break the country. I can go on and on about all the problems in Nigeria and not even scratch the surface but at the heart of it the corruption has and will keep us from developing into the powerhouse we could be. I've always thought that the only way to fix this place was to break it down and start from scratch. With the amount of ppl currently suffering its only a matter of time before it boils over to something bloody bc so many are so angry at the state of things and the fact that things are not changing

So I’m actually from Nigeria so I have a first hand experience in the country. It bad. Corruption is on a unimaginable scale. People are struggling to make ends meet and the reliability of the electricity is a joke as it’s common for back-outs to occur so much that it’s considered normal to have a back up generator. It is a crappy nation when it comes to infrastructure as most of the roads are dirt and the housing is more functional than good looking. Another part of Nigeria, a big part, is Nestle. They essentially got a monopoly on a variety of things like the ever present formula or chocolate milk. The story’s of Police Brutality sadly enough actually seems plausible as the government doesn’t care about its citizens. It is absurd the difference in quality of the wealthy’s environment than the regular Nigerian’s. So yeah there is a reason that I’m not living in that place anymore.

- Nigeria will grow 300% in population size
- lists all the reasons Nigeria can't grow 300% in population size without imploding

As a person with a geography interest, Nigeria really is fascinating, very ethnically diverse, cultures, religions, languages and etc.

Excellent documentary. It touches on the major burden of Nigeria. 🇳🇬

The tri-enthnic and religious divides are significant then throw in a good dose of corruption then the reason for Nigeria's struggles for ever elusive greatness becomes self evident.

Great video. Going to share it with all my friends. Lagos is pronounced "Lay-gos"

I wish you all well my dear Nigerian's! -Greetings from Mauritius

Sometimes I wonder how long I will live to see the world change again and again. I was born in 97 and there’s been already one and a half industrial revolution I’ve seen China become a super power and am about to see space flights becoming common again.
Without any boomer overtone, I’d like to say we’re living in amazing times and I can only hope to live long enough to see how things will unravel in the next 20-40-60 maybe even 80 years for me and the world as well
Peace out

As an American, I hope to see an African country like Nigeria become a rich and prosperous country if it gets rid of some of its corruption. It will be a much different world by then and perhaps Nigeria can be more influential to other countries in its region. Hopefully, more manufacturing jobs turn up there soon. I'm rooting for them.

I think Nigeria's only chance is with a change in government.the current regime is full of contradiction.it's inactive and ineffectual get heavy handed and brutal. It is full or wealth and opportunity but poor and stagnant. It's a problem all across Africa, it's full of potential and even currently is growing, but it could all fall apart if the current governments continue their exploitation and collaboration with neoimperialist powers

Please Nigerians, Let’s all come together and build our nation 🙏🏽

[TechlordXD]

If Nigeria is to be the next superpower, the country needs to improve in alot of ways, for example Safety (as nigeria has a homicide rate higher than brazil), Life expectancy (as nigeria has a life expectancy under 60 which makes it one of the lowest in the world) and Corruption (due to nigeria having a corruption index of 25 meaning it has the 30th highest level of corruption)

[philipejem]

What Nigeria need is a good leader and good government structure

[bigbootros]

Corruption is the cancer of Africa.
When corruption and tribalism will be overcome then Africa will grow and become powerful and wealthy.

[miken]

What the video fails to mention is the vast oil wealth which Nigerian leaders at both national and state level removed in corruption.
The progress of Rwanda shows the difference a good leader can make.

A good overview of the situation in Nigeria, but there were a few flaws with your assessment of Nigeria.
The issue of corruption in the government is a severe one, and despite the fact that the government makes 80% of their revenue through petroleum, the average citizen doesn't benefit from that money, in fact, petroleum is being drilled out of some people's backyards, and they aren't receiving a cent of the profits. Most don't think that total unification will get Nigeria anywhere, the divide between the North and South are too great, and major independence movements are going on in the primarily Christian, resource-rich South to separate from the majority Muslim North (Not much has changed since 1967). The only things that have ever really held Nigeria together are the colonial ties put in place by the British, centuries ago.
I think it would be a better approach to actually ask some Nigerians who live in the US and Britain what their take on the situation is, in order to get a more accurate assessment of Nigeria's future. I can tell a lot of hard work was put into this video, but I think it would be best to go more in-depth regarding such controversial topics.

Nigeria really needs to develop modern public transport for its cities. Lagos has a little bit of BRT and ferry network, Abuja has a light rail which is expensive to ride and goes through empty land. Kano, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, and other ones need to advance their public transport infrastructure.

[sadiqsuleiman]

I pray Nigeria progress and realize it's potential to the world

[Danietz]

As a Romanian I wish all the best for Nigeria and the Nigerian people. Become a developed nation soon!

[texastea.]

Another major problem facing Nigeria is the current Islamic insurgency in the northern part of the country, allowing the flow of weapons, drugs, and general instability in the area making it harder for future improvements
