dominated by manufactured products and services. It’s even more sad that many African countries have fallen for this. Efforts to change this through @wto Doha Development Round of trade negotiations have been sabotaged by developed countries. #WhyWeArePoor

Nigeria doesn’t have an independent private sector. The “economy” still depends on what mood public sector officials woke up in. Instead of creating enabling environments, governments create lots of obstacles. Because personal agendas are being serviced. #NESG #WhyWeArePoor

Accountability. Consequences. In some countries, police will show up, make a show of admonishing you, then tap your window. As you wind down, he will lean into your car, his hands inside your car and out of public view. You might “greet” him, “beg” him, or argue! 🤣#WhyWeArePoor

In my next session on #JumpingMonkeys, #WhyWeArePoor and #StrategicBets, I will go more into details on some of the products we already have the capacity to produce and many countries don't. Thanks the @Atlas_Facts/@ricardo_hausman for the awesome data on Nigeria.

This is the part that should get entrepreneurs in Nigeria excited. Assuming the world stops buying our crude oil/gas today; our total export revenue drops from from $54Bill to approx. $9Bill. But here are products/services that we could build on. #WhyWeArePoor @ricardo_hausman

South Korea's (over 22yrs). See the level of diversification across product areas, compared to the big hunk of oil in our export basket. We can infer or even conclude that #WhyWeArePoor is because we produce/export nothing that the world consumes expect oil! @ricardo_hausman

And so the next time you wonder why Nigeria is poor. It is be laziness of the mind at best to conclude that it is because we're corrupt. It is far deeper than that than. Think about this, this was Nigeria's export basket from 1995 to 2017 look like. #WhyWeArePoor @ricardo_hausman
