Just like you can't compare Eyimba to Aston villa please don't compare Nigeria with America

Na today u know say yansh dey for back?

Nigeria would have been greater had it been we maintained our oil refining equipment. By now we would have been chief supplier of oil products to at least our African countries.

Op, Foreign countries you researched and presented their data well but you ended up doing an amateur job on Nigerian states... Yet you have the gut to compare our local affairs with its foreign counterparts. You have exposed yourself. Do you still blame the leaders for not putting this well?
