India, with a population of 1.5 billion people, and a landmass of 3.2 million square kilometers, spent $470 million to conduct its census.
Indonesia, with a population of 273 million people, and a land mass of 1.9 million square kilometers (including some 27,000 islands) spent $292 million to conduct its census.
Brazil, with a population of 212 million people, and a landmass of 8.5 million square kilometers, spent $450 million conducting its census.
Nigeria, a nation of 921,000 square kilometers, that is not up to half the size of any of the countries above, that is not more populated than any of the countries above, is about to spend $1.8 billion to conduct its census.
We don’t have up to a fifth of India’s population, we don’t have up to a fifth of Brazil’s landmass, we don’t have a fifth of Indonesia’s land complexity, yet we are spending more than four times the amount to conduct the same exercise.
This was how INEC collected billions to purchase technological devices, then went ahead and messed up terribly poorly.
What are you and I doing about such as this?
