Maintenance culture is dead in Nigeria. Nobody cares until calamity occurs and people die(until the building collapses).

Visitor no . . .,I hope this wont haunt you OP

In not so long decades past, China was a negligible entity in the comity of nations with no atom of significance. Today, they have build a great country that is trying to rub shoulders with others in the world (not that I really like the Chinese though). They built a fisherman-village called Shezhen (south of Guangzhou) as a city to compete neck-to-neck with Hong Kong (as Shanghai has an Hong Kong-like history with Europeans settling there, before communism set in). Shenzhen was built almost the same year our precious Abuja was being built or planned. Today, they are planning on transforming another village called Yiwu Zhejiang so as to make it rub shoulder with other cities too. How did they achieve these? They have a good value system, thou gh they have good cases of corruption too, just like beloved Nigeria.
As it has been said over and over, relocate the whole population of Nigeria to planet mars and leave this blessed country deserted with NO one living in it, and ask either the Europeans or Westerners or Japs or Chincs to build the country from scratch. I am sure that 50 years will be too much for these people to turn my fatherland to the haven to be envied by all personalities that inhabited the place before, owing to the fact that the land is abundant in resources some of these countries are secretly wishing to have a quarter of it.
I do criticize the government too, but when I see my countrymen's attitude towards government's property or business, I become depressed. I will never forget one of Sagamite's word on this forum when the issue of Indian brouhaha surfaced.
If one-man business can be ruined or has a 90% chance of being ruined when placed under a Nigerian employee without the owner supervising it aggressively, why will government establishment not run at loss when government top-function offices has been turned to an opportunity to eat your cake till the offer lasts?
I don't know whether to say Nigeria can get it right in this generation or not, but one thing I am sure of is that anything we do on earth shall be accounted for at the end of the day.
God bless the well-meaning Nigerians!!
God bless Nigeria!!!

Now this is NNPC Towers Abuja. Spot the difference it has with Port Harcourt facility where the bulk of the resources emanates.

^^^I bet this one would be spotless and still looking brand new! Why the hell do we have to have the head office in Abuja and not Port Harcourt anyway?
