It is high time we all accepted that this country is not moving forward. Ordinary 12 hours electricity throughout Nigeria at the same time is non-existence. I will always support anything that will cause the disintegration of this country. We are not where we should be as a people and nation. 12 Likes |

backtosender:Far better how? Do you realise the majority of Rwandans are poor villagers who live without enough food or electricity? The op is deceiving you. Rwanda is trying but they are not in Nigeria's league at all. 5 Likes |

Rossikk: I beg to differ sir. Only 39% of Rwandans are poor. Only 30% of Nigerians are not poor. Plus our government is needlessly wicked and corrupt on all the different levels. Rwanda is not as corrupt a society as Nigeria is. Nigeria has a long way to go, it's not just our large economy that will make life worth living here. Are our police officers effective? Is public service working? Are our many cities neat? In these areas Nigeria is playing catch up to Rwanda. And Paul Kagame is a visionary leader. Who wouldn't want to live in such a place? 11 Likes 1 Share |

No need even doing pictorial comparisons coz it's pointless and an insult. On top of that sef it's being ruled by a ruthless dictator who doesn't hesitate to assassinate dissenters.

theSpark: STOP TALKING RUBBISH AND DECEIVING PEOPLE HERE. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FIGURES? RWANDA'S PER CAPITA INCOME IS $752 PER ANNUM. THEY ARE NO 159 ON THE UN HDI. THAT MEANS THE MAJORITY ARE POOR PEOPLE. I'm not one of these riffraff you can come here and make any stupid claim to based on two or three high rise buildings posted. The way you measure the living standards of a county are by Income Per Capita and the UN Human Development Index (HDI). On both parameters, Nigeria is AHEAD OF RWANDA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria 5 Likes |

raker300:They are richer than Rwandans. About 5 times richer. Per capita GDP is $2,500 for Nigeria and $759 for Rwanda. Somebody needs to throw some of you into rural Rwanda or Uganda or one of these places you claim is heaven compared to Nigeria. You wouldn't last ONE DAY in those rural communities before crying to be sent back to Nigeria. I guarantee you. In many of their rural areas, you will struggle to find common soap, food, (even with your money), and other things we take for granted throughout Nigeria. 20 million nigerians are going to die of starvation by 2030...let that sink in Do you have any research to back your prediction, or is that just another bit of hot air you pulled out of your nyash? 2 Likes |

AshiwajuFoward: People underestimate how underdeveloped Nigeria's cities are. Nigeria is one of the worst countries in the world in providing basic social amenities and infrastructure and proper municipal planning. Everybody just dey freestyle. Dig your own wells or sink your own boreholes, pack your own shit in your own septic tank, dig your own drainage and gutters, erect your own NEPA poles (even to get meter is wahala) etc. The government always manage to make the most basic provisions look like complex neuro-science or nuclear physics. When you look at the infrastructure some 3rd world countries have, it makes you wonder if we need our own categorization as a "5th world" country. Even as poor as many of these African countries are, they have better public amenities and their urban housing follows master plans. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: Some of you guys don't know how to put things in their proper context. Even in spite of the challenges Nigeria is facing, there's no way in hell Rwanda can be considered as more developed than Nigeria. Absolutely no way. Nigeria may be underachieving, no doubt, but relatively speaking, asides S.A and a handful of countries in Northern Africa, I dare say that no other sub-Saharan country is as developed as Nigeria. #Fact. Nairobi, Kenya and Eastern Africa's most developed city) is great (I've been there more than once) but it's the only city in the entire country worth mentioning -- Calabar and Uyo will give Mombasa a run for its money any time. In West Africa Nigeria is the undisputed numero uno in terms of infrastructure (asides our epileptic power issues), with Abidjan coming second considering the former capital's impressive infrastructure (even Ghana doesn't have a single city that can match Abidjan in the area of infrastructure). Angola's Luanda isn't bad but again it's the only city in that entire country worth mentioning. The rest are not even in contention -- you need to visit some African countries to get a proper perspective, I mean some barely have tarred roads. In other words, these sub-Saharan cities I mentioned are all pretty much '1-city states' while Nigeria has at least 3 cities that can outmatch their best city/state capitals. Even Benin Republic has steady electricity compared to Naija yet that isn't enough justification to claim it's 'more developed' than Nigeria now is it? It's ok to lament about Nigeria's problems (most citizens of most countries do about their respective countries) but let's do so within reasonable limits please. 8 Likes |

vantage001: So, 2 pictures of high rise building is the standard measure for greatness these days because if that's the case, there are more skyscrapers in Lagos than many countries in Africa combined? I referenced Igbos because such shallow and unintelligent thinking is very synonymous with them and their manner of reasoning and the fact that they hate Nigeria doesn't help their shallow thinking ways. 2 Likes |
