I'm not surprised cuz the last time I visited Nigeria, I was taken aback as to how an unkempt city like Lagos seem to be the Silicon Valley of the unorganized nation

Honestly, If I was Bill Gate, the only business I will have with Nigerians is to buy their country. Use it for stock trade in America big firms and allow Top Tech companies to buy a share of it. What I'm saying is that in the realm of my imagination, your country is sold-off already. I even heard that your PVC is now on large Chinese online store like Alibaba. You guys should just calm down and chill. Gradually, we're getting there as your country will soon be on Amazon and the poorest man in America will add it to cart. Meanwhile, the last time I checked, most underdeveloped countries don't exceed $17 million when put up for sale online. If I'm lucky to be the buyer as an American, it'll be nice having a country dominated with primitive minds and black mentality and refurbishing it after all.

The reason I don't believe these so-called news is because they are void of facts. How can Baghdad, Juba, Tegucigalpa, San Salvador, Mosul and other murder stricken cities be better than Lagos?

That's how one nonsense published that Nigeria has superceded India in poverty (!?) It just doesn't make sense, Indians are well over a billion(1.3 billion) and 60% of these population don't have access to toilets which is around 780 million people. So if 780 million people don't have a basic structure as a toilet, how on earth does Nigeria a country of 200 million people have more living in poverty? angry

Seriously, I smell a big conspiracy.

Anyways, Baba Buhari till 2023

Immediately I think of Tripoli Libya, Damascus, Lebanon, Bagdad and other cities in Afghanistan, I know this is rubbish.

They go to peaceful cities, destroy them, create chaos to drive the people into desert and sea, then call them unlivable.

Maybe if they stop their economic sabotage the world would be a better place.

Imagine imposing sanctions on African countries for banning their used clothes.

But it's about the best for the average Nigerian.
Opportunities are far and few in the other cities in Nigeria.
So, the pressure remains centralised in Lagos, hence the 'badness'.

How is that even possible, when we have poorly developed areas like warri, umuahya, onitsha, uyo, akwa, birnin-kebbi, yola, bauchi and co.

How many percentage of Nigerians have access to toilet? You wouldn't believe these facts now because its happening in your buhari era. If it were to be GEJ in charge, you'd be all over the news. Hypocrites.

5/10 and 80/160 are still 50 percent. The ranking is based on percentage and not individual head count. If 60 percent of Nigerians are poor and 40 percent of Indians are poor, which country is poorer,
60 percent means 60 out of every hundred people. 40 percent means 40 out of every 100 people. Which is worst?
