lexy2014:Again, use your sense. This is not rocket science now? Some people are more blessed than the other when it comes to natural resources. Just like dangote is more blessed to have over 10 billion dollars and you don't have up to 1 million naira in your account. Yet both of you are likely to be working the same hours of job. Fingers are not equal. Dubai made it from natural resources they have in abundance.. which is oil and it's more blessed in other sectores too. If Lagos had the type of oil Dubai have and it's keeping it all for himself and instead of entire Nigeria, it will make sense for you to compare them. As for children, if I have 100k and only have to cater for 2 children, I will still have more money left in my account to do other things than you with the same 100k and have to cater for 20 children.. 2 Likes |

It can never happen again. May be in another world sha. Those cities did not start to develop in the last 70 years. They have been on it for more than 100 years. To build any of those cities, we need to be spending at least 2 trillion dollars every year for 25 years without stealing kobo from it. If our average cities can be like Cape Town or Graz, or Düsseldorf etc, I will say we really try. African/black man is not wired to think of developing to such magnitude. We think of having the most basic things and be able to pepper enemies, have phone, Tokunbo car, plenty women as side chicks and concubines, one ‘pensionable’ job (in the mouth of wherey gbogbo). or business that is bringing some cash (ki asiri saa maa bo), be able to pay your tithe or buy something for your imam or mosque etc. 3 Likes 1 Share |

[richmond500: grin With the kind of ethnic and religious division politics we play, nothing will work]. Apt. But most Nigerians don't tell themselves the truth. The fierce struggle for apex political leadership of Nigeria by sections of Nigeria whose people despise the most qualified presidential candidates, is mainly for politicians from those sections to take control of the proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits in Nigeria for sharing among the political elites in those sections. How can cities like these be built in Nigeria? Not even in the next 10000 years, with the political acrimony in Nigeria, and its resultant centrifugal forces on the country. |

NinjaXmetahuman: since it isnt rocket science and you are using your sense, i am surprised that you cant answer the simple questions. 1. how did Dubai make this hypothetical 5billion naira? 2. did Dubai always have "5 billion naira" to share for its 2 children? 3. is it because it has less "children" to cater for that is the reason why it has achieved all it has achieved? 4. based on your theory of population, is Dubai richer than China? 6. what is a country's greatest resource? 1 Like |

Iamgrey5:You need to stick to a narrative. First you said we don't have the money, when he pointed at South Africa having less gdp than us, you now started talking about the boers. Are boers not South Africans? Are the natural resources you said here more profitable than 60 years of selling oil? Is a country with Nigeria's GDP and population not supposed to have at least one city that looks like one of these? |

Iamgrey5: Also tell those kids that over 90% of those buildings were built by private owners not government. They that are complaining, what have they achieved with their lives that is contributing to the public? Easy to lazily just keep blaming government for everything whole most of them are lazy as anything. Out government no dey try we know but what have they all been doing as well? |

Fineman2: Fineman2: It's a very interesting observation you've made talking Singapore and South Africa but if only you actually understand the reason for the correlation. Another two countries in that category are Hong Kong and Taiwan. In brief......... The same mind that conceived the idea and built those tall buildings in the USA, Canada, Australia is same mind that conceived the idea of the tall buildings in South Africa and Singapore. That's why. It took me 20 years to discover the answer. And if you're really interested and you need in depth details, read the link on my signature. Read the PDF version only. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hear me again, all these skyscrapers are in their individual pockets while we hailed them as gods, thinking that you are doing me. If I complain, they will say that we don't have respect for our elders. Na the country we found ourselves in. We are forced to think like others. All those dollars in their bullion vans, in their agbada, in their foreign bank accounts. All those money they used to buy the votes at the primaries. You are free to call me whatever you like as I know whatever happens in Nigeria is yoked with ethnicism and tribalism. We must not tell the truth, so far my tribesman wins it, and so on.. continue living in your huts oh NIGERIANS until you are ready to take back your country as Peter Obi preached. |

lexy2014:you are shutting your sense again.. I'm not disputing that Nigeria is a failed country, I'm telling you it makes no sense to compare Lagos and dubai. Comparing Nigeria and Germany is an entirely new argument which is not my concern cos Nigeria is a failed country as it is.
