In the United Kingdom (UK), most walkways for pedestrians are usually wider than the space created for vehicles.
If you have a car, fine. If you don't, you can also enjoy the beauty of trekking or riding bicycles, scooters etc.

Also important: Nobody displayed wares on the walkways.

Stop comparing a 3rd world country to a first class country. Its like comparing a Mercedes to a suzuki and then insulting Isuzu vehicles. Compare us with Ghana, Mexico, Georgia

Keke and bikes will take over the walk way if this was my country. You will see hawkers and road side sellers on the walk way. There would have been a mini bus/keke park on that walk way, even landlords and shop owners would extend buildings that will cover a significant part of the walk way.



We are just unique in our own ways, Federal Road Safety people would never obey traffic rules.


This is Nigeria.

Because the likes of 'Singapore' and 'Dubai' are EXCEPTIONS in a world in which 80% of countries are developing nations just like Nigeria.

In your dumb little head.

That ''biggest embarrassment'' has Africa's largest economy, its largest middle class, its largest population, its largest movie, entertainment, fashion, and music industry, and has the biggest and most profitable enterprises of any black nation on the face of the Earth.

So get lost, hater.

So go eat shite.

All attributable to her population. Nothing more.

We are talking of the country with the highest illiteracy rate around. Highest out of school children. Most ravaged by terrorist. Highest out of school females. One of the highest infant mortality rate around... One of the lowest life expectancy rate. Low power and water distribution. Exports prostitutes to countries like Italy and France and drug mules to all parts of the world. About to make a drug pusher her president! Highest unemployment rate around...Most corrupt country around. Ethnic wars, religious killings. Home to two of the world most violent terror groups!
You must be very good at selling dog poo for candy, if you can market this Lugardian mess of a country to serious minds..

Look at you. Animal mentality. The negative, exaggerated, fake, wild claims you just made are not also ''attributable to her large population'' as a developing country abi?

But any good developments must be ''because of her large population''.

Satanic mind you.

Just get lost and go hang yourself somewhere. Nasty little wretch.

It's funny how we compare Africa to the west , same Africa that is been stripped and raped for centuries, same Africa man power that was used to propel the world to industrialization, same Africa that was intentionally destabilize and partitioned and imposed on a new system of governance with out taking into cognizance of the native system on ground by the west in order to milk her resources, The Africa that the west helps to bank the corrupt proceeds of the leaders. Made to think having the natural resources translate to being wealthy , where as it's the reason we are getting poorer, misinterpreting our comparative advantage to be natural resources, where as its the same human resources that was stolen and used to develope Europe ,America's and Asia that will still develop Africa. Some development came alongside . But don't compare Africa to Europe coz up till date we are still been colonized economically and politically , the natural resource we boast of are still been sold back to us as finished goods . We have been made to think everything is bad with Africa, yes we might not be there yet . But Africa is catching up fast for a continent that fully came in contact with another civilization (western)few centuries ago ,Rome wasn't built in a day it's millennia old . I'm not saying their advent on Africa was bad but the intention was really bad and solely to reap . Hence why we are where we are .

London looks nice because

1.They pay council tax there. If a Nigerian city charged the kind of tax that London charges, most of you would cry 'poverty'.

2.They pay income tax there. Nigeria? 30% of taxable Nigerians pay income tax

3.They have a higher tax to gdp ratio there. UK tax to gdp ratio 33% Nigeria 8%

4.They enforce the rules there. Here in Nigeria, attempts to clean the streets of hawkers are usually met with protests about 'persecution, poverty, and destroying people's hustle)

5.The UK relies heavily on attracting investment to earn revenue. Nigerian towns do not.


Mind you, London was/is/used to be a mess, even as recently as the 1960's/70's. That it looks nice is the result of hard work, and people holding their governments to account, and so forth.

Meanwhile in Nigeria, the reverse is the case.

Even the little space meant for pedestrians is still being shared by motoris and bikes, if you're not careful they'll knock off the road.

Be realistic for goodness sake. Suzuki themselves will not compare themselves with Mercedes cos they know doing that will end up making them not to achieve anything . In the Premiership, Watford or Norwich will not compare themselves with man city or Liverpool, or even compete to win the league. They compare themselves with teams like Southampton or Crystal Palace. Thats having a realistic chance of survival. If they compare themselves with the big guns , they will remain bottom

Simple reason is cos there are more pedestrians than car users in the uk
