You just defined what being an IgboIPOBian is but many will argue that is not true because in Nigeria we hate the truth. If you care to verify, you will discover all those arguing that Rwanda is beta developed than Lagos are IgbosIPOBians with the exception of no other tribe but foolish people will claim you are generalizing

FarahAideed:


Ahh aahh ..we dey fight?

Area4Area:
You hate Lagos so leave Lagos including millions of your type back to your region

FarahAideed:


Go where ? I was born in Lagos so I am a citizen by birth and by stay , by school and by tax ..You go back to Osun

A trip to Kigali will conceive you that Nigeria is blessed with terrible leaders. I did same evaluation two months ago with Delta state. I was mad with ibori and his loot and share gang. Rwanda is a working country that has leaders with clear direction...

War on the poor? Kigali cracks down on street trade






But the future appears less bright for the thousands of street traders working in Kigali, following a new directive from the city council imposing harsh new restrictions.
"Whoever is caught peddling on the street or buying the products will (be fined) RWF10,000 ($13)," the directive announced. Traders' goods are to be confiscated.

Pressure has grown on the informal economy in recent years, although it accounts for 73% of non-agricultural employment in Rwanda and 46% of the nation's GDP.

A recent Human Rights Watch report highlights the risks for those who defy the rules. The group documented dozens of cases of vendors being arrested and detained without trial at the notorious Gikondo Transit Center, and in some instances being subjected to violence, extortion and torture.

Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, is often lauded as “Africa’s cleanest city”. The country’s 2008 ban on non-biodegradable plastic is often mentioned as a cause. Another is that on the last Saturday of every month, people across the country commit time to projects aimed at improving the country’s public spaces, in a mandatory practice called Umuganda—loosely translated as “coming together to achieve a common purpose”.

But there’s a hidden cost to Kigali’s spotless reputation, and the poorest and most vulnerable are those who pay it.

A Human Rights Watch report (pdf) released today reveals how Rwandan police arbitrarily round up and detain people they deem, in the report’s wording, “undesirable”—street vendors, prostitutes, petty criminals, beggars and street people—with the intention of keeping the streets of Kigali tidy.

Since you have never left Lagos before, I don't blame you.
As far as I am concerned, most Nigerians are deluded and blatantly disoriented to understand the misrule they are experiencing. This is dueto the fact that most of them have never travelled out to see things for themselves.

I have been to Rwanda, and I am convinced that Nigerians have a very long way to go.

afroniger:


Guy, you are a well known Lagos hater so your opinion isn't worth nada. How big is Rwanda relative to Lagos? Rwanda is ruled by a sadistic dictator in the person of Kagame who does not tolerate opposition (he assisinates his critics, including those that fled Rwanda because of his dictatorial and iron fist regime), and most of the country's budget is financed by foreign donors and international bodies. You can only bamboozle your fellow ignoramuses. Rwanda is making developmental strides but I repeat that it is still nowhere near Lagos in terms of development, and you can take that to the bank.

OruExpress:


you would be stupi2d to say Lagos doesnt have what you just posted lol. Nigerians and drama

NGpatriot:



During your travel to Rwanda, I'm very sure you missed all the dirty slums around Kigali, not too far from the 2 pictures in this thread.

There are better looking places and pictures in Lagos than the rubbish pictures from Rwanda in this thread.

Blackvic1:
seriously you are wasting your time engaging with this people, they are used to mediocrity that they see it as normal, lagos is a failed state as well as every state in Nigeria I just wish the so called leaders can be as wicked as kagame and still provide 24hrs electricity with standard roads that doesn’t spoil after few months / years I will keep saying that we are too dumb in this country I swear , no light no water no road no health care no security and we are still clamoring for giant of Africa my foot , I have been opportuned to visit Rwanda they are miles ahead of us and for our fake 180m population that we use in making mouth abeg who counted us ? Everything about this country is filled with lies I don’t think lagos state is up to 20m who counted it and I don’t think nigeria is up to 100m till they count it head to head and the last population census was a scam

donfineboi:


Well said bro. Even though they conduct population census today they will rig the result to favour one side of the country.

I left Nigeria for good this year. Nigeria is very hopeless and I see it going through the toughest challenge next year. When hyper inflation hits up again from VAT, Wage increase, VAT on online transaction, Federal Toll Gates etc...

The mumu of Nigerians and the wayo of the Government is just too much for me to handle. Imagine a nation much more interested in BBN than the political future.... God help us all....

Livefreeordieha:
i disagree..Our population should even make cost of manufacturing and production cheaper..Eg China and Taiwan...Study hard bro...Infact research about rwanda before u embarrass ursef Amongst intellectuals..

No pun intended..

donfineboi:


Look at Lagos state with all its stupendous resources still looking like a lump of shit.

afroniger:


Dude, no be by force. You are free to relocate to your utopian Rwanda.

Rosskiki:


What ''stupendous resources''?

Dude, Nigeria is not a rich country. Lagos is not rich. Our annual national budget is 28 billion USD, with 200 million people. South Africa's annual budget is 125 billion USD, with 56 million people.

Lagos that you say has ''stupendous resources'' is home to 25 million people, with an annual budget of 2 billion dollars. Los Angeles has just 4 million people with an annual budget of 10 billion USD. Tomorrow you will visit L.A. and start asking why Lagos is not like that.

Bro, we need to diversify and expand our economic output as a nation. We don't have the kind of money you think we do, even without corruption.

As for comparisons with Kigali, it's a far smaller city, pop. 859,000. Comparing it to 25 million-strong Lagos is really the height of madness.

Even more absurd is comparing Lagos, a city, to the entire country of Rwanda, based on selected pictures from Kigali!

comparing the resources at our disposal we are supposed to be miles ahead are you not suppose to be ashamed that after 59 years we are still dragging 4000mega watts after so many years.a country where 4g written on phones are a fake 3g with 521kb per sec everything in this country is a lie ...a whole giant of Africa has only 2 MRI machine in the whole country to serve the fake imaginary 180m .... which country in the world still does election campaign based on road electicity water and salary omg we should bury our heads in shame till we see something wrong in this and start clamoring for Changes and raise the standards high we will remain a third world country even lower than Rwanda and in the next few years we can’t compete with them anymore

plaindealer:





Kigali is actually a very very poor city with deceptive look, they actually arrest their own people and keep them off their streets to make the place look clean.

What they do to people in Kigali is what Nigerians call tyranny and war against the poor and the masses, something we won't dare contemplate to do to our own citizens just because we are trying to show the world that our streets are clean especially when in fact, a mile or 2 from the city center are slums and poverty.

It's easy to look at 2 pictures and badmouth your own country, but I can assure you, the last thing you want to do is migrate to migrate to kigali.

You people need to stop lying because it is obvious that you don't know kigali and have never been to kigali.

Plaindealer has locked this thread.

FarahAideed was once again taken to the cleaners.

Lagos deserves more yet it is the number 1 destination of every Nigerian.

Some hate it so much they can't leave it alone.

FarahAideed:


The only person I bad mouth is Buhari because he is the worst leader ever ..I was among the idiots that voted for him in 2015 so I have a right to critic him .. Lagos is my spiritual home , I took my first breath as a human in Lagos and the city has been a great blessing to me but the truth is that these visionless politicians have raped and plundered the wealth of Lagos ..Lagos has the potential to be the most beautiful city on Earth if it's resources is left alone by that greedy man and his cartel and handed to a God fearing visionary . How can a city of 20 million not have pipe borne water and yet you say it's a place of excellence, what excellence sir ?

There is nobody that loves Lagos more than I do
