MrProducer:
This is Nigeria.This is Africa. We are black people.
Just understand this fact...
That thing is never going to happen here, whether it's 2050 o, 2100. Never ever.
And y'all waiting for Nigeria to develop, keep waiting.
Population of 180m and largest economy in Africa.
It will never ever happen.
We'll only manage but we'll never get there.
The bitter truth.

Ps. Don't quote me.

Nigeria may never get to that stage and the sad reality is that Nigeria & Britain are not the same. So stop comparing.

sixtuschimere:
Will we ever get to this stage?

otiigba1:
This will never never never ever ever ever ever ever ever happen in nigeria...

sidneyj:
it used to happen but that's in the dream

toseman:
It can happen in Nigeria but it might not...

Krismart:
On radios, and papers...

omanzo02:
I doubt if that exist in nigeria.

NoApology:
sadly i don't see that ever happening...

shaiba:
Yes we can. I got same from PHCN that I over paid my electricity bills last year from the month of August and was not to pay any more bills till the end of the year. Also this year same thing happened from the month of February.

I thought it was a joke and visited their office and it was confirmed.

Nigeria will get beter. God Bless us all.

I doubt you are in Nigeria. There are credit power bills in Nigeria. This happens when it's realised you have been overcharged in estimates.

One thing is, we are too quick to make a response before properly understaning the situation. It is happening now in reality, and has been happening. Have you not heard people saying they're on credit? When PHCN discovers a user has been overcharged, the credit balance is forwarded to them as 'credit' in the next billing month, and the user wouldn't have to pay in the month. Let us not be too quick to condemn!

Electroweb:


I guess you are right. We should compare ourself with Somalia, South Sudan, Pakistan.

You r view is quite pessimistic. realistic. Your statement implies that you believe that Nigerians are undeserving of fair treatment from the government. That they should stop keep hoping for a better life, because it will never but it will take a very long time to come

It will take a very long time to achieve. Maybe a few generations but it is not impossible. Rome want built in a day. And Britain is a very old nation unlike nigeria.

Agreed

biodunkehinde:

They don't carry cylinders around town every time like we do in nigeria. The gas is delivered directly to their homes via pipelines. So pls add logistics costs.

falseman:
OP no even get sense no wonder UK people sabi stingy
Okay let's calculate

You initially pay about £138 (N39750) for monthly electricity bill

Then £85 (25450) to fill your tank.

My brother this can never happen in naija you can't use up to 15k to fill your tank even at the high cost we buy now. And I'm sure if you are in Nigeria with 24hrs electricity you will never agree to pay a bill of 20k per month talk more of 39k.

Bros come back home.

olamixx:

Am really disappointed in you

afroxyz:

We are black people and so? Na your type dey lick white man nyash

Henycymama:


Like seriously??, have you foreseen the future?

MrProducer:

You don't need to see the future to know the fate of this country.
Till we start telling ourselves the bitter truth, we are forever fūcked

miqos02:
pictures or video to confirm

Memejem:
I already stated it will take a long time to occur. Nigeria is a dialysis new country. All civilized Nations took centuries to develop. Your original statement was an encouragement for people to give up.

Why shouldnt Nigerians compare thier standard of living to other countries? Its not unobtainable. It will be a long time coming but nothing good comes easy. Counties are rated whether you like it or not. Everyone compares everything. Thats how innovation is created and improvements made.

thesicilian:

In your opinion, how long do you think it will take Nigeria to get to the level of civilization & development currently being enjoyed in Britain? Just give me an estimate, how many years?

SycophanticGoat:


That one is only telling lies. Very shameless one at that. Imagine, na only her na him those crooks of a coy return money to TWICE (na only she dey Nigeria ni?) and she even go their office go complain? I don't know why some people resort to telling cheap and childish lies.. Beats me!

The same criminals in Nigeria that was giving us bills of 15k, and 12k per month for less than 30 hours power supply in a month. Not like we even use heavy appliances. Thank goodness the meter we paid for has finally been delivered (although other states got their own meters free of charge). Maybe now, 1k will last for 6 months since we no dey carry eye see light for my area.

On the OP.. So the OP is still waiting for change? After all that has been displayed by the dullard? He will wait until he's old and won't see his change.. Yeye!

Memejem:
To be honest it's all circumstantial. If all Nigerians are like you and have given up, don't try and lobby thier local and federal politicians it will take infinity years. The benefit nigeria has is that it's developing in the era of knowledge, experience and technology. None of the established western countries had this benefit.

If a substantial amount of Nigerians seriously fight and demand for thier rights nigerias infrastructure could be on par with other developed countries within 30 years. All the technology is available to make it happen. We just need to bring it here. Every county in the world has villages and rural areas. But each state/province has at least 2-3 major cities.

We have the money and the resources already. It's just not being put to good use. See how uyo and lagos has drastically changed within the last 10 years? We just need a solid structure put into place. It can work. It's not the country that's the problem. It's the people who are in charge. People can be replaced.

thesicilian:


Doesn't answer my question. You obviously do not live in the real world and all your speech is full of 'ifs' and what we are can do and become. No one is doubting what we can become or our growth potential if you must know. The issue is, do you see Nigeria moving forward any time soon judging by what we have on ground? Forget miracles and chance happenings, does Nigeria have any structure on ground to become the most developed nation in Africa, not to talk of Europe and America? That is the crux of my debate.
And please be precise in your answers.

Memejem:
nothing is absolute. I did answer your question. Read my answer again with an open mind. you asked how long do i think it will take. you don't just throw a number and not explain it. I gave you a number and explained my thought process. If you like the way Nigeria is presently then good for you. People are here looking for solutions to our problems and how the incoming and present generations can make a change. you are here dwelling.

if you believe Nigeria is a lost cause then leave the country and don't look back. discussing with you is a headache.I am not here to gist with you. i'm passionate about this topic. so if you don't want to be serious, then don't reply me. I'm only interested in serious discussions
