solmus: Doing a little research can help us appreciate what we have. The information you are passing about Johannesburg, South Africa and Kigali in Rwanda is misleading. It's wrong. Let me shock you. There is no Metro Rail in South Africa and Rwanda. What they have is Commuter/Suburban Rail. South Africa also has Mono Rail. The confusion is because the word Metro is the name of the company managing their rail way system in South Africa. There are two countries that have Metro Rail and they are Algeria and Egypt. Lagos Metro Rail is still under construction. When that is done... Nigeria will join the list. We love to talk what is not obtainable about other countries just to downgrade Nigeria. Please let's desist from this 4 Likes |

OP if you really want to do a social experimentation/reverse psychology on these people attacking you and downgrading the country. Just do a version of this for another country in Africa like Kenya or Rwanda or Bostwana or any good country in Africa and see if you will get these negative reaction. See OP the problem affecting an average Nigeria is frustration and inferiority complex. They dont believe in the country, Nigeria. They dont want even the country to make so much progress. They believe that when they travel out of the country that they have landed a very big achievement. They always look forward to the day they will boast of travelling to Tokyo, Dubai and co. They always want to brag with abroad cities as their place of dwelling. That's their mentality. So you coining the title of this post this way will make them react negatively. It will take sometimes to get them out of that bad mentality. The way some of us as Nigerians portray our country in the media matters. Let's learn to appreciate good thing and be proud of the country. It is obvious that things will continue to improve and we will get there. Thanks 1 Like |

solmus: There is Metro Rail on its own. Commuter Rail/Sururban rail can service a metropolitan area which is obtainable in Johannesburg but its different from a Metro Rail system. Light rails does not service a metropolitan area. It is used within an urban area. Metro Rail is for mega city for rapid transit....

It saddens me that too many Nigerians do not realize that for a developing nation like Nigeria the implementation of the most current technology is best in cost terms of which maintenance is part. Those selling Nigerians the idea that since we are a third world nation we need to implement dated technology and infrastructure are scumbag racists or dingbat first republic Nigerians that unashamedly have refused to retire from public affairs. Nigerians should not be putting down dated infrastructural and technological architecture on our young clean-slate nation. It is bereft of ambition for us to aspire to be like Dubai, Tokyo or Singapore instead of looking beyond them at the latest thinking in urban designs and transportation. For instance, Nigeria should be showing interest in the hyperloop. It is counterintuitive, I know, but in reality, high technology is often simpler to manage than older technology. A simple example would be the differences between learning to drive an automatic car versus learning to drive a manual one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xb7lf-TdlI Nigeria is a clean-slate we should be excited we have the opportunity to draw something new at lesser cost than it would take for Tokyo or London to do similar. |

gregyboy: By just looking at Nigerian movies, you can clearly see how backwards is Nigeria. The kinds of roads, schools and hospitals that are used on the movies looks too old, it clearly shows that government maintenance is bad in Nigeria. OP, Nigeria could be better than Dubai , Tokyo or London if Nigerians work together. South african Gautrain is much better than those trains at London, Tokyo and Dubai. If black South Africans Can, Nigerians can also do that. 1 Like |
