Nigeria cannot develop nigeria's problem is not the government but the people. Look how nigerians are running to other african countries, go to ghana, south africa, kenya ,botswana ,zimbabwe and namibia most of the nigerians in this country are in legal. We nigerians are running to other african countries to be refugees and illegal immigrants. You will see a lot of nigerian youths sitting at the side of the road of these countries doing nothing. The truth of the matter is as long as we nigerians are ruling nigeria nigeria cannot develop you need to see how we are running to other african countries to be refugees.

A train traversing the vast Coastal Plains Of Kenya.The Railway track is elevated not only to cut the gradient of the rugged terrain as one starts cutting in towards the ‘upcountry Kenya’ but also ensuring free passage of wildlife. The concrete supporting beams holding the rail in some places go as high as 50 meters above the ground(The Mazeras super bridge) The longest bridge being 2.7 km(The Athi River Super Bridge) Most parks in Kenya are found within the plains,e.g The Tsavo East and The Tsavo West National Parks. We do care for our wildlife this much! Thumbs up to the Kenya Wildlife Service for making sure that our wildlife would be pretty safe even as we try to better our infrastructure!

A zebra( pictured below) passes under one of these railway bridges. The bridges ensure uninterrupted migration of animals across the park. Impressive!

To tell you the truth about cultist is most of these people are bloody lazy even when they go to other countries they do the same. All they do is rob people and commit all sorts of horrible crimes all in the name of laziness. Nigeria and crime started a long time ago that is why we kicked all the industries and companies out of nigeria so we can become criminals

Tbh,the little I know comes from the crime forum,a place I really really really prefer not to tread! I see its not just crime but rather the deliberate seeking of occult powers to commit evil. Cultists commit weird rituals, human sacrifice and even cannibalism. Worse these demonic groups control ALL DANGOTELAND UNIS!!

[b]As at the last count, there are over 50 different confraternities operating in higher institutions across the country. Entering most Nigerian Universities, you hear names like: the Brotherhood of the Blood (also known as Two-Two (Black Beret)), the Victor Charlie Boys, Vikings, Second Son of Satan (SSS), Night Cadet, Sonmen, Mgba Mgba Brothers, Temple of Eden, Trojan Horse, Jurists, White Bishops, Gentlemen Clubs, Fame, Executioners, Dreaded Friend of Friends, Eagle Club, Black Scorpion, Red Sea Horse, Fraternity of FrienIn the late 1990s, all-female confraternities began to be formed.

[/b]These include the Black Brazier (Bra Bra), the Viqueens, Daughters of Jezebel, and the Damsel. Female confraternities have supplied spies for allied male confraternities as well as acting as prostitution syndicates. Many of them like their male counterparts were products of government institutions and few private Institutions where discipline is lacking. Exemplary institutions like University of llorin (Federal) and Afe Babalola University ( private) rank tops among the no- go areas for these cult members.
[b]One notable and memorable incident was the massacre of students of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, which took place on July 10, 1999 and It resulted in the deaths of five people leaving eleven injured, all students of OAU. It was perpetrated by an organized death squad of 40 members of the Confraternity branch at the university. [/b]They invaded the Awolowo Hall of the university very early in the morning clad in black trousers and black T-shirts, they were masked and armed with shotguns and machetes against fellow students. Even after that heinous operation, many other cults are breeding and have developed into arms carrying.

Everyone else if you still don't know these aren't debate or chess clubs this is what they actually do,the true purpose of these cults:
torture
2. Advanced fee fraud
3. Making painful inscriptions on the bodies of new members.
4. Voodo ritual practice
5. Murder
6. Drinking of human blood,and urine
7. Taking of hard drugs
8. Holding meetings in unconventional places such as cementries, forests, river sides etc.
9. Indecent dressing
10. Intimidation of others
11. Armed robbery
12. Sexual assault
13. Kidnapping.

How many Nigerians do online shopping seriously? In Kenya, from the peasant farmer in a remote village to the slum dweller in Kibera to the filthy rich in Muthaiga, everyone shops in malls. We can confidently be proud of malls. Online shopping is something that less than 1% of Nigerians use regularly - not always but regularly. In Kenya, many people buy in malls always.

That's why other African nations want Nigerian investments (especially cement).. The other day Tanzania was asking for more companies like Dangote to be established in Tanzania

I don't see Somalia having the richest African.. I don't see somalia sending teachers to other countries.. I don't see Somalia with multinational companies, .... etc

Things are bad in Nigeria but definitely not as bad as Somalia

How's sending your teachers to other countries something to boast about? lol - FYI all international schools in Tanzania mostly employ Kenyan teachers. Somalia, South Sudan and DRC all have Kenyan teachers. China has been importing teachers from Kenya heavily of late.

Dude, fiber optic cables are in ALL counties of Kenya, even as far as Garissa and Turkana. They all have fiber optic cables. See the breakdown of which fiber lines pass where in map below. You can go to the site http://icta.go.ke/nofbi-transmission-network/ to zoom in and look for your favorite town Garissa.

Everywhere in Kenya there is fiber optic cables transmitting on average at the very minimum 13.7 megabits per second, twice as fast as the global average. Thousands and thousands of kilometers of fiber optic cables and this was done almost a decade ago.

Not just that, these days, the Kenya Power Co. (your nepa equivalent) is laying fiber optic cables on all new power transmission lines. Dude! Its called fibre-to-the-home services and is done via optical fiber cabling. Basically, the fibre optic cables are strung between the tops of all new high-voltage transmission lines combining the functions of grounding and communications. The Fibre optic cables are based on Optical POPGW cableilot Ground Wire (OPGW), with 48 optical fibres or cores. And the firm hopes to have this in all its power lines across the country.

That helps not just in connecting more Kenyans to high speed broadband internet but will also be a revenue to them but most importantly, will ensure that they can gather information about their power transmission systems, such as which transmission lines are in service, the amount of power being carried, meter reading at interchange points, and status of equipment and alarms all in real time. Your Nepa will need a century to achieve this kind of vision and efficiency.

It's just the truth. Jumia for example, is a Nigerian enterprise. lf foreign companies get's involved and makes it one of the top 200 global brands, it would be hypocritical to deny this.
lt is not very easy for the black man to sell his brand globally. Not even easy for whites who do not have access to world power and peiviledge. When you understand this, you'll see why Africans must try to grow from within by first promoting home grown indigenous enterprises and satisfying the indigenous market and taste before anything else.

Safaricom was not developed by whites - Kenya's black Telkom started Safaricom and ran it for 3yrs - before offering strategic shareholding of 40% to Vodafone. You ideas about black or whites are retrogressive and sickening. Right now Nigeria should be busy attracting MNC & creating MNC - those MNCS are listed - and are owned by anybody & everybody. For example Vodafone is not "white" - you can buy it shares - the same with Dangote or Zenith.

Basically don't look for excuses - just work hard to have more Nigeria MNC or large companies like Safaricom that operate exclusively in Kenya & still made the cut.Nigeria should be busy attracting FDIS - China was not colonized by whites - but US & European companies rush there to invest. Nigeria has no excuse why it's not attracting FDIS - that would help make more of their companies make the cut.

Nothing stops a British fund or Nowergian fund from investing heavily in Nigeria companies. The problem with Nigeria is they are very retrogressive. You aint even out there seeking strategic partnership that can help you companies ran world-class - look at Kenya - KQ works with KLM - Safaricom with Vodafone - name it - those are not "whites" who've been in kenya for generation...those are MNC out there actively looking for business, partenrship and chance to expand. But if you sit and lament that RSA is far ahead because of some whites - then you're an incorrigible idiot.
Daejoyoung:

It's just the truth. Jumia for example, is a Nigerian enterprise. lf foreign companies get's involved and makes it one of the top 200 global brands, it would be hypocritical to deny this.
lt is not very easy for the black man to sell his brand globally. Not even easy for whites who do not have access to world power and peiviledge. When you understand this, you'll see why Africans must try to grow from within by first promoting home grown indigenous enterprises and satisfying the indigenous market and taste before anything else.

I can wager a bet that Kenya is far ahead in e-commerce than Nigeria. It hard to find something Nigeria is ahead of kenya - expect raw numbers and cooked GDP. Lagos sure has 136B dollar economy - but Lagos states is struggle to collect 2B dollars!!!
NairobiWalker:


How many Nigerians do online shopping seriously? In Kenya, from the peasant farmer in a remote village to the slum dweller in Kibera to the filthy rich in Muthaiga, everyone shops in malls. We can confidently be proud of malls. Online shopping is something that less than 1% of Nigerians use regularly - not always but regularly. In Kenya, many people buy in malls always. It's stupid to compare malls in Kenya with online shopping in Nigeria.
