WHAT MAKES TAIWAN MORE POWERFUL THAN NIGERIA ? Though Nigeria has oil !
Taiwan is a tiny country about the size of maryland or Deleware off the coast of China. The island nation is only 36,000 sq.km compared to Nigeria with 923,768 sq. km or 30 times as big. Nigeria has a GDP (purchasing power parity) of $357.2 billion dollars compared to Taiwan with $357.3 billion dollars both 2009 statistics. But the differances lies in energy and exports; Nigeria produces only 22 Billion kilo watthours of electricity compared to Taiwan that produces 225 billion kilo watthours of electricity. And, Exports in Nigeria (Goods shipped out) amounts to $45.4 billion compared to little Taiwan that exports amount to $198.4 billion. Taiwan exports electronics, flat panels, machinery, metals, textiles, plastics and parts. Nigeria exports petroleum products, cocoa and rubber.
The point is that Taiwan is taking advantage of technology leading to production so they can produce more goods and ship them all over the world. Nigeria, an African country, is not as efficient with its land use, its people, its natural resources thus operates ultra below Taiwan when it comes to electricity production, manufacturing and exports. We can conclude that placing the proper emphasis on the skill sets which grow a nation like engineering, construction, finance and energy can create a powerful nation with limited land resource. Taiwan is able to do this dispite the disadvantages of earthquakes and typhoons. It gets back to utilization of math and science and a work ethic that encourages love for their own kind and nation.
