Third World, for a reason.

Go closer, you'll find politicians wining and dining lavishly on the commonwealth that should have bettered the lot of the common man including that of themselves.

This is not a good example, I'm sure the spoilt bridge will be repaired, this can't be a normal way of going to school for a long time, unlike here in Nigeria where you'll have to go thru the hard way for years. But wait a minute, why we de even do like say suffering is something to brag about?

Have you ever challenged your area councilor for bad governance?

When you think your condition is bad, there are hundreds of such that are worse than yours. We just really need to be thankful to God in all conditions.

If your kids have ever grumbled about walking to school, just let them watch this video, shocked and they'll quickly realize their journey isn't so tough after all.

In a startling scene, children in Fiji are seen swimming across a turbulent river just to reach their classrooms.

The footage, shared widely on social media, shows groups of schoolchildren in their uniforms bravely navigating the swift current to reach the opposite bank.

This incident took place on the main Fijian island of Vita Levi, up in the Sigatoka Valley at the Wainiagwai stream, which eventually joins the Wainimala river.

This situation arose because the bridge, usually positioned further downstream, was washed away during floods.

This is how we swim to school when it is rainy season in Asah in Ughelli south local government area in Delta State.

Which region is this in NIGERIA?

Don't they have governor or representatives in government?

Maybe so many of them are even here on NAIRALAND.

I’m sure your phone has google app.

You can’t use it to find out that Fiji is a country just like Nigeria 🇳🇬

I teased one local grassroots lawmaker that came to my office about it one day and you know what he said? He said the traditional rulers who galvanized the people to make sure they voted for him the lawmaker would rather have the money allocated ti the community shared among him and his chiefs than being used for meaningful infrastructural development. Unless you don't want reelection. So most of the time it now boils down to doing good and being forced out of the system, or playing ball and continuing your career
