The US election is heating up, with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump going head-to-head. Trump has been using negative campaigning tactics, labeling Harris as “far-left” and even jokingly calling her “Comrade Kamala” to link her to communism. Additionally, Trump has been mispronouncing Harris’s name, a tactic used to belittle his opponent.

In other news, the US election polls are in full swing, with Harris and Trump neck and neck in some states. The electoral college map is looking tense, with several states still up for grabs.

But it’s not all about politics. This edition of Diaspora Watch also honors the enduring legacy of Nze Donald Ogbanna Nwosu and explores NANNNA’s mission to revolutionize healthcare for Nigerians worldwide.

And for sports enthusiasts, find out why Lookman has emerged as a contender for the 2024 CAF Player of the Year.

From Front-Runner To Follower: Nigeria’s Economic Decline

Published

on

In 1960, Nigeria’s GDP per capita exceeded China’s, indicating a lead in unit productivity and prosperity. However, by 1999, China’s GDP per capita had surpassed Nigeria’s, beginning a trend of increasing economic growth. Today, China is a global economic powerhouse, while Nigeria struggles to reclaim its lost lead. 

 

Nigeria and China share a similar history, with both countries gaining independence in the mid-20th century. However, their economic trajectories have diverged significantly. China’s economic reforms, implemented in 1978, prioritized innovation, education, and controlled population growth. In contrast, Nigeria economic growth has been hindered by lack of strategic planning and implementation. 1999 marked a turning point in the economic fortunes of both nations. China’s

 

GDP per capita surpassed Nigeria’s, and the gap has continued to widen. Today, China’s GDP per capita stands at $24,558, while Nigeria’s is $6,318. China’s poverty rate has declined significantly, with less than 0.1% of the population living on less than $2.15 per day.

In contrast, Nigeria’s poverty rate remains high, with 30.9% of the population living on less than $2.15 per day. China’s GDP growth rate has consistently outpaced Nigeria’s, with a growth rate of 6.1% in 2020 compared to Nigeria’s 1.9%. A key factor in China’s success has been its meritocratic system, which ensures that political leaders are well educated and experienced. In contrast, only 42.9% of Nigerian presidents have completed a university education since 1960. China’s economic reforms have been driven by a focus on innovation, education, and controlled population growth. The country’s export led growth strategy and “Made in China 2025” initiative have positioned it as a leading global player in manufacturing. Indonesia’s success offers valuable lessons for Nigeria. 

 

The country’s focus on manufacturing, investments in transportation and storage, and effective implementation and monitoring teams have driven its economic growth.

 

The Nigerian Economic Society’s economic dialogue offers a chance for Nigeria to reclaim its lost lead. Will the country take the cue and transition from participant to convener of a Forum on Nigeria-Africa Cooperation (FONAC) or Forum of Nigeria-Asia Cooperation (FONASC)?

 

Nigeria’s lost lead is a cautionary tale of how a country can fall behind due to lack of strategic planning and implementation. However, it is not too late for Nigeria to reclaim its lead. By learning from China’s and Indonesia’s success, Nigeria can drive its economic growth and reclaim its position as a leading economic power in Africa.
