Unfortunately, OUR COUNTRY'S BEST 16 years of HUGE MONEY MAKING/PROFIT in BILLIONS OF DOLLARS was looted by thieves and criminals, that some fraudsters are still supporting till now.

YOU COMPARE A COUNTRY THAT IS ALMOST THE BEST AND RICHEST IN THE WORLD WITH A PER CAPITA
INCOME OF USD 92,049 (2014) WHILE THE POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD NIGERIA IS STRUGGLING TO HAVE ITS PER CAPITA
INCOME UP TO $3500. THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE SHITHOLE COUNTRY AND LUXEMBOURG IS WIDER THAN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND

Luxembourg is set to become the world's first country to make all of its public transportation free to its over 600,000 citizens.

Late last year, Luxembourg made headlines when the newly re-elected prime minister Xavier Bettel and the coalition government announced that they will lift all fares on trains, trams and buses in March 2020.

The ultimate goal of Luxembourg, a country whose traffic congestion is among the worst in the world, is to force people to ditch their cars in order to alleviate some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.



Last year, the tiny country, sandwiched between Germany, France and Belgium, started offering free transportation to everyone under the age of 20. Secondary school students have also been able to ride free shuttles between school and home.

Good Move...
Can This Move Be Replicated In Oil Rich Nigeria In Order To Reduce Traffic Congestions?

Nigeria, and at large, Africa is in crises due to colonial instigated tribal sentiments and bias.

Until we path ways, or embrace a system of govt with true federalism just like the USA, forget it, the citizens will never have the collective might to hold their leaders accountable..

At least they find a way to make income and use it well. I was just looking at the GDP figures and Nigeria's economy is only 6 times bigger than this tiny country's although we are more than 300 times their population!

you want to make excuses for ur useless president n politicians? Small population is actualy a weakness n disadvantage. Why are places like US n Canada doin visa lotteries to bring in more people? What of india n china that have over a billion people each. Are they making excuses bcs of huge populatio? Instead they maximise de huge population to become military, technological n economic world power while U keep electing a frozen brain ancestral moronic iliiterate as president and yahoo yahoo men as governors.

It shouldn't really affect them. Usually people don't take taxis unless they have to and they more expensive than public transportation. Free public transport should not affect taxi drivers

If Nigeria had that population with twice the Luxembourg's wealth we will still be living as terribly as we are currently... What's China's population? Is Japan a small nation?...
