 Why are Africans jealous of Nigeria? Nigeria is known as Africa's giant. Whether or not that title is well-deserved is a different story, but Nigeria is unquestionably a force to be reckoned with. It has Africa's largest population, a thriving, though harsh, economy, vast human and natural resources, and much more. Lagos State is said to have the highest concentration of black people on the planet, with an estimated 6,871 people per square kilometer as of today. When people hear about Nigerian, they always roll their eyes and make remarks about how corrupt Nigeria is. Do you believe that other Africans are simply jealous of our ambition, or do you believe that other Africans' opinions of us are justified? Despite that, Nigeria is one of the best and most illustrious nation in Africa, with one of the largest economies. Today, we will give you some of the reasons why we think Africans are jealous of Nigerians. Please subscribe to our channel for more updates as we move on. Economic Overview Nigeria experienced its deepest recession in two decades in 2020, but growth resumed in 2021 as pandemic restrictions were eased, oil prices recovered, and the authorities implemented counter-cyclical policies. Nigeria was particularly vulnerable to the global economic disruption caused by COVID-19, owing to the drop in oil prices. Oil accounts for more than 80% of exports, one-third of bank credit, and half of government revenue. With a GDP of approximately $445.00 billion in 2022, and being one of Africa's largest and strongest economies, it is not surprising that others are envious of Nigeria. Tourism Potentials Nigeria has distinguished itself in the field of arts over the centuries due to its great diversity of people and culture. Nigerian artistic versatility is so great that it is widely assumed that all African nations should regard Nigeria as the primary trustee of the most durable fruits of black artistic genius. Nigeria's cultural heritage is a tapestry of history and diversity, legend and conquest. Tourists visiting the country will gain insights into both a glorious past and a promising future all set against the natural beauty of this diverse country. Nigeria offers a remarkable range of physical beauty in her land and hospitality of her people, ready to be enjoyed by the tourist fortunate enough to choose this land of ancient empires as their travel destination from rainforests in the south to broad savanna woodlands in the center to a semi-desert region in the north. The country aptly dubbed the Giant of Africa and Heart of Africa is endowed with ecological and cultural resources of international renown. The richness and diversity of Nigerian culture reflect the sociocultural differences of the over 250 ethnic groups that have inhabited the country for centuries with such great tourism potential. It's no surprise that some Africans are jealous of Nigeria. Mineral Potentials Nigeria has a wealth of extractable solid mineral reserves spread across the 36 Federation State and the FCT. Coal, gold, lead zinc, iron ore, uranium, limestone, gypsum, copper, marble, columbite, granite, clay, glass sand, gemstones, barite, tin, talc, and bitumen are some of these minerals. The vast majority of the country's extractable minerals are largely untapped resulting in the sector's subpar operating capacity. The mining sector in Nigeria has faced numerous challenges which have stifled growth and limited the industry's potential and viability. Addressing these critical issues would open up the sector's prospects. Nigeria with such a large mineral deposit is one of the best and wealthiest countries in Africa. This is sufficient enough for Africans who lack minerals in their country to be jealous of Nigeria. Automobile Industry Nigeria is one of the few Africans countries that has the potential to manufacture or assemble cars. The economy of this great nation is highly reliant on the automobile sector. There are many automobile companies in Nigeria that assemble cars for both domestic and continental use. Some of these companies include Innasen Vehicle Manufacturing Company which is Nigeria's first indigenous vehicle and motorcycle manufacturing plant in Nigeria. INC, Stair Motors that is an assemblers and manufacturers of motor vehicles in Nigeria. Masilia Motors that provides maintenance, repairs, sales and solution to automotive needs with the fact that Nigeria is just one of the African countries that assemble and manufacture cars. Other Africans who lack this opportunity are envious of Nigeria. Technology Nigeria is Africa's most populous country located in the continents west. Nigeria is Africa's third most technologically advanced country. The African behemoth has made some significant technological discoveries and innovations that have gained international claim. Nigeria's main strength is its talented youth who can compete with their global counterparts with the right training and exposure. Nigeria's contribution to the IT sector is noteworthy among the numerous technological innovations. Iroco Partners, a successful web organization with over six million extraordinary clients from 178 different countries, manufactures the INYE-1 and INYE-2 tablet PC in Nigeria. These advancement has not only developed admiration from other but has also lead to jealousy from other nations that are not up to the task. Richest Man in Africa With the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria carries almost half of the riches of the African continent. Not only is this country big in economy, the richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangate, is from this nation. Aliko Dangate was named the richest man in Africa in 2021 for the tenth time in a row with an estimated net worth of $14.1 billion. Dangate Group, the business empire he founded more than three decades ago, is one of Nigeria's largest private sector employers and the most valuable conglomerate in West Africa. Being home to the richest man in Africa, this has given Nigerians so much pride that has led to some African nations being jealous of her. Nigeria, also known as the giant of Africa, has enormous economic, social, political, and financial power. Nigerians are generally proud of their country's position in Africa, which has led to envy. Being jealous does not imply hatred from Nigeria, but rather envy and a desire to be like Nigerians. If you haven't already, please like, share, comment, and subscribe to Africa Reloaded.
