They are learning from Nigeria their big brother. The map of Africa when inverted looks like a gun, no wonder we are used to shooting ourselves to penury. |

B3ACHSIDE: Have you ever asked yourself, what China aims to gain with these "free" gifts. The Chinese infiltration into Africa should never be encouraged. And By the Way. Nigerians do not need these housing. What we need urgently and speedily are Electricity ( up to 150,000MW) which can be achieved through Hydropower and Solar power in the South and North respectively. Transportation (major cargo railways connecting PH to Onitsha, Opening of Onne Port in Portharcourt, quality road connecting Enugu to Aba and Onitsha, Railway from Lagos to Ibadan, quality road from Lagos ports to big markets such as tradefair, computer village, Alaba, Ladipo etc. Roads from Lagos to Sagamu) Security against Herdsmen so our people can go back to farms With this, Nigeria will experience rapid industrialization never seen before 3 Likes |

B3ACHSIDE: Firstly, I Honestly don't see any reason why Nigeria should embark on a housing scheme. Let me point you to what happened in South Africa. The SA govt built houses for the people which it called RDP to take away poor south Africans from their slums, but what happened?, the people who were given free houses to live in started renting thier houses, while they lived in their shacks. This was because they were unemployed and really needed a source of income. This is what will happen if the same thing is replicated here in Nigeria. Don't put the cart before the horse, employment first before housing scheme. Also, In Nigeria, we lack maintenance culture and building houses for the poor will only amount to lots to dilapidated structures in the very near future Unemployment is the biggest problem in Nigeria. Unemployed leads to alot of societal degradation such as kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery, thuggery and Internet fraud. Fighting unemployment will greatly reduce the problem and the only way to fight unemployment is by industrialization. Industrialization will be achieved if electricity, good road network and security is met. With this, doing business in Nigeria will be easy which will attract local and foreign investment into the country. Do you currently how frustrating and difficult it is to do Business in Nigeria. I know a business man in Aba who spends a whopping 83k monthly only on electricity to power his business. Do you know how expensive and risky it is to transport good in Nigeria as a result of bad roads and armed robbers on the road. The basics which are Electricity, Transportation and Security needs to be met first. If they are met, Businesses will thrive, unemployment will greatly reduce and Investors will be willing to invest in Nigeria. Building parks, schools( which will churn out unemployed graduates) and malls are TOTALLY UNNECESSARY FOR NOW! The seaport will be necessary to decongest Lagos as Lagos is currently overpopulated. It will also reduce the cost of exporting, because now, if someone in say, Onitsha wants to export, he must transport his goods to Lagos first which is very expensive and risky. Building a seaport in Portharcourt will greatly reduce the cost of imports and exports I agree with you, Conference centres and skyscrapers are of no use to Nigeria I have never said the govt should build any. You are saying Nigeria does not have a trying to offer the world, like really? Nigeria has hundreds of square kilometres of farmable land. Southern Nigeria can grow Crops such as Maize, Rice, Cassava, Cocoa, Oil Palm etc while Northern Nigeria can raise livestock which when exported will earn us revenue. Before you say the revenue realized will be too small, remember that Ethiopia, the second fastest growing economy in the world exports crops and livestock Also, Northern Nigeria has a lot of sun light. Millions of solar panels can be installed there which will produce so much Power that we can export to other African countries. The same things applies to Southern Nigeria, were massive dams can be built to produce energy which will be exported Other companies such as Innoson and Proforce will expand massively and serve the demand for affordable cars in Africa All Nigeria needs is Electricity, Transportation and Security! |

B3ACHSIDE: I agree wholly with you, Nigeria is very unplanned. Our governors don't even care, they only care about building flyovers and roundabouts which they will use during campaign for re-election. It's sad but you have to understand that is a secondary issue. The salient issue is that of electricity and good road network, and we should channel all our resources and man power into it. There won't be any point building tall residential houses when we don't have stable power and good roads. Perhaps when we have achieved stable electricity and good roads then other cities can be built which will be planned structurally. We still have alot of unused landmass in Nigeria especially in states like Taraba, Benue, Kogi and Ebonyi. We can't afford to focus on unimportant things now. I believe a seaport in Portharcourt will be more economically viable as a because of the already existing market in the city. Anyway, we can't have too much good things, so a seaport in Calabar will also be important for the country |

B3ACHSIDE:My Bad, I meant the Onne Port. I all think the South South states who can build seaports should do so as it will improve imports and exports. I'm also for semi-autonomous states as it will allow each state develop at their own pace How do you plan to actualise your plans for your state though? |
