bittyend: I'll play the devil's advocate and argue that Ethiopia is still light years ahead of Nigeria in terms of overall developments, and foresight. Nigeria is in shambles - no organisation, no planning - just 170million headless people with no future.

Ethiopia's military is far ahead of Nigeria's military despite our large population and GDP - and Ethiopian airline is the best airline in Africa.

Ethiopia is the Giant of 'sub-saharan' Africa (minus South Africa) - they lead and others(including Nigeria) follow their lead. cool

Nigeria has it's flaws, which I won't deny but some of the things you are saying seems like fairy tales to me, especially that Nigeria follows Ethiopia since when?

any way you always have issue with Nigeria

Angola is ahead of Nigeria in terms of growth as well - and that's a country that fought a bloody civil war for more than 20 years.

I'm ashamed of Nigeria!!

Yeah, Nigeria's military is probably nothing special, but if Ethiopia couldn't defeat Eritrea, then how much better is their modern army really? They were strong in the past, but now. . .not so much.

with the dictator gone lets hope Ethiopia will not turn in to a Yugoslavia. each region is Ethiopia is its own ethnic "nation" more or less

Yugoslavia was a nation in Europe until tribalism tore it apart

I just added war to it. Ethiopia is ahead of Nigeria in terms of developments as well - Nigeria is just about hype.

No electricity, no jobs, no international policy, poverty everywhere - and outside Abuja, and probably Lagos, the whole country is a big slum. Just take a look at the only functional international airport in Nigeria (MMA), and compare it to the one in Addis Ababa - the difference is clear.

Nigeria is a mess!!

And how did Nigeria fare against Boko Haram and MEND? Eritea is a strong country as well, and they've the luxury of sea access.

Even America with all its advance weapons still can't defeat bow and arrow using Taliban in Afghanistan lol.

SmoothCrim: Red gold and green was made popular by Ghana...It's origin is Ethiopia but I don't believe it was due to direct inspiration but, inspiration from pan-Africanist like Marcus Garvey who was likely inspired by Ethiopia transformed it and made it his own by giving the colors special meaning... Garvey's and other Carribean Pan-Africanist writings were a huge inspiration to people like Nkurmah!! Along with Russian Communist etc etc grin grin grin grin

Holy crap...that's the smartest thing you just said.

I love Nigeria but we need to get the veil off our eyes - and starting thinking outside of the box. Nigeria is a disgrace to black people!!

If Ethiopia had the luxury of having everything Nigeria is blessed with, they would be at the level Brazil is at right now.

Like I said before Nigeria isn't perfect but Ethiopia has alot of poverty and other issues effecting their country and to start comparing is ridiculous

so you can also say Ethiopia is a mess

PhysicsMHD: red, black, and green = Marcus Garvey, also pan-Africanism

green, white, and green = wealth and peace (neither of which Nigeria really has nationwide), but unfortunately its colors coincide with those of some Arab/Muslim country flags



The ironic thing is....the person who created the flag, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, is probably a christian

Eritea is also a break-away region of Ethiopia, they used to be one country!

Nigerians need to questioning their leaders and stop being patriotic in a stupid way.
