Foremost comedian, Ali Baba, has said that Nigeria will be “doomed” in the next 10 years, if the government does not diversify into agriculture, tourism, entertainment, etc.
Ali Baba stated this in a long post on his Instagram page, where he highlighted the achievements of car company, Tesla and comparing same with the ‘retrogressive’ state of Nigeria.
“Every time I see the remarkable landmarks of #Tesla I am further convinced that Nigeria will be so doomed in the next 10 years. Our recession will be televised on 3D.
“We started television broadcast in Ibadan. But South Africa went digital before us. We built a National Theatre before Dubai became a place. They have an Opera House now that is booked till July 2018. We had Ogbe Hard Court, a tennis tournament in the 70s. Yet we do not have a Nigerian Open. Lagos is blessed with water. Yet no international boat races. We have festivals that are still in the same style they were celebrated in 100 years ago. We still have one bridge linking the East. Onitsha Bridge. Built in 1965.
“We have abandoned projects scattered across the country that we have no plans to complete. The NET building and Defence Headquarters… side by side. Rotting in our time. National Theatre. National stadium. National Refineries. National Seaports. National Museum. National shame.
“So #Tesla is making cars that run on batteries and self generated energy. The cars are now outselling petrol and diesel driven cars. So in a few years from now our oil will be like the Coal in Enugu. Even people who roast boli don’t buy coal from Enugu. Very soon NNPC will be like NIPOST. When was the last time you sent a Telegram? Renewed your post office box? When was the last time you used the Railways to move around Nigeria? Meanwhile, it would have been easy to drive your car on to a railway coach, use it in Lagos or Abuja put it back on the coach and pick it when you get back to Aba. Nooooo. That is not development. Give it 10 years. Most parts of the world will scrap filling stations for recharge stations. Where you can quickly recharge your car and it will carry you for 4 more days. When did you last call NITEL that your phone was tossed?
“We go drink our crude oil soon. Instead of us to develop Entertainment, Tourism, Agriculture, Education, information Technology, broadcasting, Fashion and culture. We are drilling for crude oil. Doesn’t that remind you of the 10 maidens? Dubai has extra revenue sources now and plan to not depend on oil by 2020. That’s in 3 years. We are not sure we can stop borrowing in 30 years,” Ali Baba wrote.

Just the bitter truth.

Time is of essence, and very soon this Oil they're all fighting over will be meaningless.

Sadly, this would most probably not draw the attention of government. They're more interested in mediocrity and politics.

I read somewhere that Tesla outdid the Almighty general motors (GM), now I know why. There's also another thread about a bicycle that doesn't use the conventional chain for wheel movement instead it uses batteries; These are the type of innovations I want to be a part of.

Nigeria is just too backward and mediocre for my liking. The world is going digital and technological, but we want to produce pencils in 2018!!!. What happened to vision 2020?

I want to see more innovations like what andela, sesewa and co are doing. Where did this country get it wrong for God's sake?

I'm not even thinking of voting by 2019 except something significant changes. We need a new revolution in this country. Damn APC, PDP and the others.

For the first time on NL I support restructuring or breaking up of Nigeria. No hope in sight really. This country needs a revolution. Infact I'm so angry now. I drop my pen here.

Hey Ali fūck u

na that kind slave worse pass becasue e nor dey even think of feeedom

Government is doing her part ..infact more than enough... We practice democracy and the government powers are limited ...the mean criminals are the banks which his wife is part of

Imagine if our banks set out 500bn for loan in the agriculture and agro processing industris ...for the next 5 years ...what do u think will happen to food production and export ...

True

The truth is, Nigeria will not be doomed in the next 10 years because we are doomed already.

The only means to harness our full potentials is; Regionalism. Restructure this country now or we will regret we never did and the outcome will rain hell.
Our leaders lack futuristic system of leadership that leads to inventions and 21st century development. Take a peep from Tech Tv and you will be wowed!.

Emhicee:
