I am not disposed to name-calling even on faceless/anonymous fora like here.

I am however inclined to take both positions and weigh them objectively.

You do have point which I respect. Your point is anchored on positivism. There must be some good things you see from your perspective that still inspires confidence in Nigeria. I share that attitude too.

He is also entitled to his opinion because you have no idea of what experience he has been through in this country.

Try and understand that this Nigeria is heaven for some and hell for others.

obidark:


ehen ehen....i knew it....!!

soo,you are waitin for nigeria to become like dubai before you start payin your bills,abi....??

NiklauseFred:


Ehnnn only in Abuja?
Photos or adonbilivit

Oktane:


Why personalising this matter bro?

The telcos never complain about bills. They just put parameters in place to ensure that they mitigate their losses(and they are still ripped off for your information)

I pay my Electricity bills upfront at home, at work and even in my side-hustle.

Brov i don't need to prove nadaa to you!!! That's where i live. Abuja can host formula one sef. Nothing go happen.

Stop supporting mediocrity. You guys don't know what you want, the whole Twitter was up in flames with pictures after Fashola made his comments on roads.
Nigeria has really terrible roads

fabolouz1:
In as much as roads in the country are bad,but you are doing an unbalanced reportage by showing roads in CBD's at Dubai and comparing it to roads not in CBD's in Nigeria.
There are super quality roads in FCT, Lagos ,Enugu ,Kano and akwa ibom states.

Rexnegro:
fine we know we can't compare but why pick the bad roads in Nigeria to show and pick the best roads in Dubai to show. you want to tell me that everywhere in Dubai is like that and everywhere in Nigeria is like that too ?

NiklauseFred:
Pls do not compare anything again just continue showing us the Dubai roads,we can always check out the Nigerian road ourselves


To the angel that brought me to Nigeria hmmm we have a special meeting on the last day..just get ready for me

Kestolove:
God if I offend you in anyway for giving me this punishment by making me a Nigerian, am sorry pls forgive me..

obidark:


can you say the same for majority of nigerians....??

Oktane:


I can't believe that you just typed this.

So it is now by size; the larger your size the less infrastructure you have.

Wow!

Esejojo:


In Lagos, there are over 1000 roads. Out of that figure, can you boast that up to 2% of the roads are in good condition, devoid of potholes and dirty drainage?
We cannot be boasting with just 2% of good roads, especially when a city like Dubai has almost 95% good roads. Or don’t you believe that you deserve better?


When Fashola said that there are no bad roads in Nigeria, everyone came hard at him.

Now because our bad roads are being compared with Dubai, everyone is faulting the OP. Sincerely, this type of patriotism will get us nowhere.

If you did economics then you'll understand the concept of underpopulation.

CoolAmbience:



The real mediocrity is inferiority complex.

Why would any mentally balanced person compare the best roads in another country with the worst roads in his / her country?

Are you saying that there are no bad roads in Dubai? Abeg shift!

The whole country was indeed in flames over Fashola's remark. Please, quit the childish exxageration.

You think say na only you sabi share link, oya check out these roads across Nigeria. We may not have gotten there, but that does not mean anyone should make it appear as though there aren't any good roads in Nigeria. Are you a learner?

Who come be the mediocre now?

The blame is squarely at the feet of the discos.
The people (read masses) still view electricity as an entitlement. And that's because they are still billed on estimation.

The set-up is privatised for Goodness sakes. A paradigm shift is required to ensure whY is used is paid for.

Can you even imagine Siemens or General electric investing in Electricity and then you have majority of people 'stealing' electricity. Something is awfully wrong and I decide you to consider this objectively before pelting stones I the wrong direction.

Oktane:


I actually did and there are varying school of thoughts on demographics.

I subscribe to the school of thought that all population types have advantages that can be tapped.

Always, the seasoned economist models his economic development after the existing demographic characteristics.

We are a growing population with more of the population in the productive bracket. Can we not take advantage of that?

Many large populations that should otherwise be consumptive are now productive using their population as the base market before exporting.

USA, China, India etc. Need I name more?

Large populations = Large markets

Roads In Dubai: These Photos Shows How Our Governments Have No Vision (PHOTOS)

Dubai is the most popular city in the United Arab
Emirates. It is also one of the most visited cities in the world.

To achieve its current status, billions of dollars have been invested in the city to make it attractive to foreign tourists. This is expected to enhance economic development and international trade in the city.

One of the strategies employed by the authorities to make Dubai a popular tourist destination is the provision of excellent quality road networks.

In Dubai, the network of roads,  especially the multi-lane highways, are in very resplendent condition.

Earlier this year, a French-based survey ranked Dubai as the second-best city in the world for driving in 2019.

All these, put together, have contributed to making Dubai a popular destination for tourists from all around the world.

In 2018, Dubai received 15.92 million overnight tourist visitors. Out of that figure, 185,000 were Nigerians.

In recent times, Dubai has become a popular vacation spot for Nigerians. It has also become a venue for parties and other forms of rendezvous.

Sadly, to any Nigerian visitor to Dubai, the quality of roads there is always a painful reminder of the total absence of visionary leadership in Nigeria.

Autojosh.com was recently in Dubai. Below are photos of some roads in the city that we captured. Now, compare them to our roads in Nigeria.

Kai, Autojosh went to Dubai and was humbled. I can feel the guy's anger at the rubbish going on in this country flowing through this post like APC's body odour wafting from Abuja. However it would have been better to show more Dubai inner-city roads.

Autojosh lead the call for revolution. I am solidly behind you.

mimini:
Are the people living in these beautiful places having ten heads? Are the people ruling and establishing these beautiful places having twenty heads?

sometimes I wonder what is wrong with us in Nigeria. I always feel so sad when I watch movies and see developed countries and wish I was from there.

Why can't I be among those enjoying the luxurious lifestyle? Why can't Nigerians grow up to make us enjoy this luxury.

heendrix:
not to mention but a few......I'm highly disappointed in you AutoJoshNG

so you mean those are the best roads in Dubai and the best roads in Nigeria?

bleep I used to think you were more reasonable
