not in a land owned by zulus... How can there be racism in a comtry in Africa, when the whites there are not aborigines..

Raydos:



What I meant in that context was, 30years ago, China was one of the poverty-stricken nation in the world and has managed to change that narrative in just 10years

zulu man stop deceiving yourself...

We don't have these kind of streets in nigeria because we are not ready to pay the kind of taxes that would fund and maintain those kind of streets.

In the UK, if you are living in the city, you pay council tax which ranges from 60000 to 100000 naira monthly depending on the city. That money goes into making the cities look nice

That's why uk cities have great streets.

If we charged that kind of tax in Nigeria, Nigerians would scream.

So we pay scanty taxes and get scanty and bad roads

The bad roads we have in Nigeria are what we can afford. The sad thing is that looting still happens on top

Because just like fingers are different. Countries are also different they maybe rich and develop now,. Nigeria will also rise and develop. they may also fall

Raydos:
Apart from patching roads and building useless bridges where it's not even needed, What other things do they politicians see as development?

Imagine having this kind of cool streets in Nigeria with Good drainage system and not this open gutters we have everywhere??

Why can't black people think out of the BOX??

Raydos:
Even ordinary Windhoek in Namibia, Has a beautiful streets with well paved roads and sidewalks, and to imagine Nigeria is 10 times richer than Namibia oo

We're finished in this country

Raydos:

Even if people pay those taxes you mentioned, it will still be looted! Stop defending rubbish

RuudVanNisteroy:

It also has a rooftop pool, which offers one of most of the most iconic views in the world. Nigerians leaders loot the country blind to enjoy this kind of luxuries. Former Governor of Bauchi and former National Chairman of PDP, Muazu moved to Singapore to enjoy his loot when Goodluck Jonathan lost the election.

SirWarlock:
This . I mean with how the protests turned out imagine what will remain of the streets. Besides I'm sure if you check those 'streets' are decades in the making, far more older than streets in Nigeria .

UCHIHAmask:

You are Contemplating the abominable,joining politics and becoming a governor would effect no change.... Even budha and gandhi as president Na wash...
The system is corrupt and lacks accountability,we need a total overhaul in our three arms of government,restructuring and change in constitution to make everything workable,you talk as if it's just becoming a governor and making fine roads,lol before fine and maintained roads was a working goverment.
We need to review everything,goverment wages and salaries,armed Forces entry requirements,training type,allocations,industrialisation etc
It so unfortunate that at this level,the only way to achieve this is through the chaos of revolution seeing that the senate/house of assembly would never agree to it,you can say we are doomed....... France,us etc had revolution to triumph evil before becoming great

Restructure or burst...

Ifeoluwav:
In as much as our leaders are very corrupt, we have been made to examine and judge the situation of our country one-sidedly.
Corruption is a two way thing. If Nigerians leaders are corrupt then UK leaders(Western leaders) are also corrupt for continuing to collect loots decades after decades from the so called "third world" countries of people living below poverty line.
All these buildings and roads are built and maintained from exploiting the resources across Africa, if not how did these countries look like before interactions with Africans and the colonisation of Africa?
Nigerian leaders don't act indepently if they do why do the so called advanced and civilised people that preach human right, good governance, NGO, sustainable development continue to open their doors to the corrupt leaders from the "underdeveloped" country? Won't that seem contrary to what they preach?

Until we realize that our undevelopment is not only due to bad leadership and that we need to find it root cause and profer indigenous solutions, we will keep comparing.

I agree with you to an extent on unwillingness of our part to pay huge taxes.
But don't you think if you are paying huge taxes and you see RESULT ,somehow that will calm your anger .
But even as of now, what result so you see for the ones being paid in Nigeria?

There is a great difference .
One country is putting resources to use
Another is embezzling hers

If we charged that kind of tax in Nigeria, Nigerians would scream.

Is it religion?
