Yesterday, at Johns Hopkins University, USA, I honoured the invitation to speak on "Politics and Change in Nigeria" from Professor Peter Lewis, the famous author of "Growing Apart: comparing Indonesia and Nigeria".
In discussing this very critical issue, which directly impacts the direction of a nation, I pointed out that the failure of a nation depends largely on its Political Leadership. Competent, capable and compassionate political leadership, with integrity, will help nations to achieve sustainable growth and development.
In my speech, I tried to assess 3 of our comparable nations - China, Vietnam and Indonesia, from 1990 till date.
In 1990, the year the measurement of the Human Development Index (HDI) was started, these 3 comparable nations, including Nigeria, were all classified under the medium category of the HDI measurement. 35 years later, 3 of these nations have moved up to the High category of HDI while Nigeria has fallen into the low category.
Within the same period of 35 years, from 1990 to 2025, the GDP Per Capita of these comparable nations have all improved. As of 1990, while Nigeria had a GDP per capita of $556, China had $317, Indonesia had $578, and Vietnam had only $99. Nigeria, obviously, had higher GDP per capita than China, while Vietnam had less than one-fifth of Nigeria's per capita. Today, Nigeria's per capita is about one-fifth of Indonesia's ($5000) and Vietnam's (4400) GDP per capita and below one-tenth of China's (1300) GDP per capita.
In the area of poverty, Nigeria with about 50 million poor people, had the least number of people in poverty in 1990 than any of the three countries. While China had about 750 million people living in poverty, Indonesia and Vietnam had 85 million and 60 million poor people, respectively. China alone had about 15 times the number of poor people than Nigeria. Today, however, Nigeria has more poor people than these 3 countries combined.
The question then is, what exactly did these countries do to be able to achieve the desired growth and development? That is where political leadership comes in. These comparable nations, and indeed other progressive nations, unlike Nigeria, have competent leadership with character, capacity and compassion, committed to prioritizing investment in critical areas of developmental measures; Education, Health, and pulling people out of poverty.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@SameBunny0 @DAMIADENUGA See them. This alone tells a lot about you not being enlightened. No reasonable person talks down on others. You have culture the others don't. Ignorant at its peak.
Prof. P.N. Okeke. One of the living Legends.
The author who wrote a demystified Physics textbook most of us read in secondary school.
Let's Retweet to celebrate him! ❤️
No matter how successful you are outside, people will always judge you based on the appearance of your homeland!
Only Ndi Igbo can lead the Way in developing Ala Igbo!
We need more Developmental projects in Ala Igbo.
Our People Need Jobs to Live and Work in the Southeast!
We must all be deliberate in building things in Ala Igbo.
No matter how small build it in your region!
Let's All Join Hands and Make Ala Igbo Great Again!
Dele Farotimi, a beacon of light,
With courage so fierce, it ignites the night.
In the face of darkness, he stands tall,
A voice for the voiceless, he answers the call.
Unyielding in spirit, with words like a sword,
He fights for justice, truth his accord.
Through trials and tempests, his resolve does not sway,
Dele's courage, a beacon, leading the way.
This morning, I was talking to an Igbo CEO of one of the top 5 companies by Revenue in Nigeria, and I realized that the Igbo Elite class have abandoned ALA IGBO!
The big man was proud to tell me that, even though he lives in Lagos, he hasn’t been to the Southeast in the last five years and his kids won’t too.
Inasmuch as i believe this Uknown gun men and Ekpa boys have done damage I think the Igbo elites are kinda disappointing!
@cynoshuremusic @WheTiro@Gviev@Bn_Abdulhadi@tosinraj Your believe doesn't mean anything to me.everyone should respect themselves. And stay away from other people believes.
