Why Do Most Nigeria Streets Look Like This? by Raydos: 2:03pm On Sep 06, 2023 |
I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!! Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!! It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!! 141 Likes 21 Shares

Why are we not building cities? Even most part of Lagos and Abuja still look like crap!! Nigeria has the highest population of black people in the world, It's literally the home of black people!! And it's saddening that it look like this in 21st century? 161 Likes 16 Shares

I'm starting to believe recently that we actually do have a low IQ! We need a IQ test, Anyone whose IQ is below 100 should not be allowed close to governance!! We can't be living like this in this modern day 218 Likes 26 Shares

The streets are like that because the residents want it to be like that Just take for instance, here on Nairaland some fools are paid a token to spew all sorts of lie and defend the indefensible, there are so many brain dead people around who are comfortable with maintaining the status quo. I gave an example with Qatar some time ago and some ignorant folks started spewing trash of how Qatar isn't as populated as Nigeria. Is the problem really population? These looters you all call leaders will squander the resources of Qatar in a twinkle of an eye; it's not about population. 429 Likes 43 Shares |

It's so sad that over 10 trillion dollars has been stolen since the inception of Nigeria That huge amount could transform any serious country from the worst to the best in just a decade, Are we really cursed as a people? I've been to other Africa streets too, They also suffer from the same bullsh*t, What is wrong with us as a race? Someone said if Nigerians Moved to America and Americans move to Nigeria, In just 5 years America will be messed up and Nigeria will become a thriving nation Are we cursed? 193 Likes 23 Shares

Raydos: Nigerians really need to develop their own indigenous Road building Technology There was road building and Paving Technology in Ile Ife during the days of Luwo the Only female Ooni in the 15th Century because we were told she made them pave Ile Ife from top to bottom but the Technology seems to have been abandoned along the line Traditional Rulers should be able to organize the locals to build roads even if it is only broken Rocks and Gravel that they use Some Communities have waited for over 50 years for the Government to pave their roads and they are still waiting 64 Likes 7 Shares |

This is not only in Nigeria, This applies to every African countries, Anywhere you see a white person, There are 97% chances that the place will be organized and clean But anywhere you see a Black person, There are 100% chances it's gonna be a slum Even far out of African down to the carribeans which is mostly habited by black people, It's also sh*thole, Even the most dangerous and dirty part of America are where black people live, they call it "HOOD 208 Likes 32 Shares |

Raydos: Black Africans have low IQ. We can choose to deny that, but facts are facts. The Black Africans lack innovation. That explains why Nigeria hasn't made appreciable progress since 60 years after independence. 102 Likes 12 Shares |

SmartPolician: I like people like you, straight to the fact! This is a fact that 99% blacks don't wanna accept, Their only comeback is "They steal our resources" which still solidify the fact that they outsmart us at everything even at what we know how to do best "STEALING" 111 Likes 17 Shares |

What is hard in achieving this simple street view?? Even the most overhyped and overpriced places in Abuja/Lagos/Portharcourt/Kano don't look anywhere close to this!! 129 Likes 15 Shares

Raydos: This is soooo brutal! The truth is that everyone doesn't have the same mental capacity; I found out in the university. In school, some of us read to learn. However, I was shocked when I met a course mate who could cram the text of an entire page of a textbook and reproduce it without looking at the page word for word. I am not kidding. God knows that I cannot do that. He graduated with 4.23. He nearly made a first class. Meeting that guy exposed me to the fact that there are things one can never be, no matter how much one tries. Humans are not the same. Humans don't have the same mental capacity. Genetic makeups differentiate races. For Black Africans to come close to Caucasians in mental capacity, we have to invest massively in education. 154 Likes 17 Shares |

For environment to be dirty like that is normal in Nigeria. That's the mentality. People don't see anything wrong with it. Secondly No money. The authorities that are supposed to do it are not doing their job. Is it the common citizens that are struggling to make ends meet daily that should be doing their job for them? To put fine environment like that in place requires a lot of money. Individuals are looking for how to get and pay bills.... Govt officials/civil servants are more concerned about securing their future before they live office. So it's very a difficult challenge to overcome without dedicated willpower and funding 47 Likes 3 Shares |

Raydos:Lol I’ve always said this. The Asians learned and picked it up so quick. Hell even the Middle East after all the war is actually looking decent now. I think we’re lazy. The most embarrassing is the way I’ve seen us act in the airport in Lagos. Like this is an international airport with no working ac the airport officials bribing people for money. It’s so embarrassing. Other races that come just don’t say anything out of pity but it’s really really embarrassing. 65 Likes 9 Shares |
