So because to you in the US PHP is dead and dying (for which I'd really like to see some hard evidence) someone in Nigeria should use RoR?
You're not doing RoR a favor here. If that's the best argument that can be brought to bear. I'd know a few that are a lot stronger than that and I would not have to resort to unsupported stuff.
Has PHP to be about twice as popular as Ruby, and the 3rd most popular language (after C and Java, of which I would consider Java to be a viable alternative and C not really).

Has them at PHP 3.3 and Ruby 1.2% respectively.
Dead and dying indeed.
