Raydos: its not magic, two words maintenance and upgrade. at one time the road would have been like a typical nigerian road but the difference the oyinbo man will look and say i have seen better and i am going to upgrade a bad road to a beautiful road. when i was overseas i see it all the time U will be thinkin gthis road is good now whats wrong but they keep upgrading with painting , relaying the bitumen to give it that blacks shine etc. But nigerian poltician will want to chop that money and put in his bank account that is the difference 1 Like |

PhiliptheArab: UK pays huge taxes but they also have jobs for citizens. Power and water supply. Security of lives and businesses is sacrosanct. Here, we still pay taxes too from salaries, businesses and even on goods, services, economic transactions, we pay too. On a number of things VAT is there. But as you rightly mentioned, looting is involved. Obasanjo sold 2 refineries because they were old, non functional and drainage of government money. Yraadua reversed it because she people benefitting from and here we are , the Engineers and their MDs are still there, spending billions of dollars on turn around maintaimance and we're still importing fuel! |

dalass: Actually we dont pay as much tax as does the uk. The UK has a tax to gdp ratio of 33% . Nigeria is 5.8% and our gdp is less than that of the UK. As an example, do you pay a council tax of 70000 naira where you live? Monthly? Uk citizens pay the equivalent in pounds some even pay more depending on the city. |

Litmus: It all boils down to the government. The issue of city planning is just enacting a law and make sure people adhere to it and not compromise because of family and friends.There should be zonning laws also. Pull down commercial structures in areas not design to have such buuilding and not comprising because it's own by a rich politician. |

jajeri3216: In Lagos open gutters were the norm in the past,now most drainages being built aren't open,besides even with the drainages covered people eventually open them up by destroying them,also open gutters can be a design feature due to the way houses and the general environment is built,everything should not be judged based on white man standards,even if our standards are inferior they are ours,that's the greatest mistake of black men,they always want to accept all standards but theirs,I tell you if Europeans start building open gutters for any damn reason it will become the new standard for most black men like you,u will start complaining on why we have covered drainages,ours is ours that's all that matters |

Raydos: I don't know about other African countries or black people, but I can say why in case of Nigeria. When you're forcefully joined to a group of people who detest developments and always want to hold on to their archaic and crude ways of doing things,you can never have streets like these ones in Nigeria. Imagine if the old western region (of Nigeria) was an independent country with Awolowo as its first President or Prime Minister, we would have been envy of most of these European countries. After all, we had Television station,first in Africa,ahead of some of these western countries e.g Spain. Trust me,with true federalism in which each state is allowed to develop at its own pace,owns and controls its resources, I can tell you that hundred of streets like those above will spring up from southern Nigeria. The present "almajiri" system,as being practised, abhors anything called development ! 2 Likes |
