uckennety:the general problem of Nigeria is the people themselves and we are all part of the people. This politicians where once ordinary people like us and I am sure most of them would have wanted to change the narrative before they entered into politics but one thing is that our brain have been wired in such a way that ourselves come first before any other thing. That is why corruption has eaten deep into the system because most of us would rather satisfy ourselves and family first before we think of sacrificing for others. I have seen people who complain about our government worker treat them when they go for any registration but this same people would do the same thing when they get to that same position. It is just the mind set of an average African man is different from an average white man. That is why they say if we swap with the people of USA today, they will develop Nigeria into USA and USA will deteriorate into Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share |

uckennety:Dubai population is less than 3.5million, Lagos population increased exponentially to almost 18million, thanks to people trooping in. Dubai selling more than 3 times the oil Nigeria is selling and it only had to cater for 3.5 million people. Lagos is catering for over 18 million people with less than 10% of what Dubai annually.

Just imagine some dumb as Fvck clowns up there saying we can't cos we don't have the money ![]() RETRIEVE the various HUMONGOUS LOOTS from your insatiable, kleptomaniac, SELF SERVING RULERS and watch Nig build SEVERAL of these cities! Infact, Nig LOOTED FUNDS largely contributed to the building of those cities up there # FACT The British PM, borris Johnson was quoted as saying that if the amount of money looted from the Nig treasury is looted from his country, BRITAIN WILL CEASE TO EXIST! # FACT 2 Likes |

Reflect7:What is the benefit of the population we have, when some sections of the country are just giving birth just to win elections, what else do you expect, I believe if the country is practicing regional autonomous government, people won't born indiscriminately as they do. China as a country have more than times 4 of our population but still controls the world because they born for innovations and not just to win election. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lol i see some people here saying it wasn't built in a day have you guys forgotten that Nigeria and Singapore got independence same year 1960 but we can never come close to devt in Singapore Nigeria biggest problem is tribalism like someone said majority re not genuinely looking for change just want one of Thier own to sit in power doesn't matter if he can't perform well or not We always talk about Corruption well Tribalism is much worst that that. Until we do away with this two issues i believe we can make progress as a country Secondly i don't also believe Nigeria's problem is population like seriously? We re not the only country with such population look at China for example The funny things is these countries don't even have the resources we have. A country that makes progress isn't by the resources but by the kind of leaders they elect to represent them a country doesn't progress by the resources blessed with, but how a leader who comes into power to make use of that resources to drive the economy and push the country to progress is what matters You can have millions of resources but if you lack visionary leaders sorry you lack it all.....progress can't be made...... achievement becomes zero 1 Like |

Get power and water done right, first. Then you need emergency services including good hospitals. Create safe, affordable and reliable public transit. Including bike lanes. Then you need law enforcement, reliable, honest law enforcement and a judicial system free from malfeasance. You also need good schools and universities. Once you have all those in place you'll realize that you don't need/want skyscrapers. Especially in the tropics, it's foolish. 3 Likes |

COMPAQ:Like, people just open mouth and talk without using their number 6 at all. Dubai makes over 250 dollars from tourism in 2019 alone. Just tourism o. And only 3.5million people had to share that. Entire Lagos budget for 18 million people in 2023 is not even close to 2 billion dollars, black market rate. Then someone wakes up and act surprised that Dubai is way ahead. 4 Likes |

The question should be when are the basic amenities going to be in place. Do we have stable electicity, running waters from our taps(Not bore-hole), good roads, security,visionary leaders and not rulers that are selfish, proud citizens that are not tribalistic? If the listed things are in place you don't need skyscapers to have good cities. |

Fineman2: You're referring to cities largely of the past, Nigeria is a new nation without established infrastructure, we should dream of next generation cities. Next generation cities needn't be as expensive as these old Western cities you listed but they can look belter, more futuristic, sophisticated and liveable. 4 Likes 1 Share |
