RuudVanNisteroy:
Small oil rich Warri,Delta state should look like one of these cities. Nigerian leaders are just evil.

poseidon12:


Racism? Tribalism is rampant in Nigeria.

RuudVanNisteroy:
A British leader will travel to Tokyo,Japan and marvel at the train system and try replicate it in London,England.

An American leader will travel to Munich, Germany and marvel at the engineering and latest technology and create a factory that replicates what he saw that generates employment in New York.

A Nigerian leader will travel to London,England and marvel at the architecture and streets and run back home to loot money to acquire property in Chelsea,London.

Raydos:
Just take a look at this!!

Nigeria leaders both past and present should be killed by hanging, Those that are dead should be brought out and re-kill properly

Twizzy30:
it seems to me that you’re agreeing with him, blacks can’t seem to fo anything right without the help of the whites

poseidon12:


You raise the money by restructuring the country.

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

tsdarkside:

its not true that their are no streets like this in nigeria....

and you are fooling yourself when you think everywhere abroad is like this....

mt77:
Why don't we have beautiful streets that look like the ones posted above? Answer:
Several reasons probably- ; would citizens stop throwing garbage, empty water/drink plastic bottles, pure water nylons, house -hold garbage, faeces wrapped in black nylon bags(esp Lagos), on the streets? Would street traders stop selling on the streets- both static and itinerant hawkers. Would dirt evacuated from drains not be poured onto the road instead of taken to dump sites? Would landlords and tenants cease to cut roads to pass water or electric cable wires after road construction and commissioning?
Would tippers not convey sand dripping with water uncovered on roads unchecked as seen on our roads?
Would the depraved people in power not inflate x10 the cost of road construction and hence do inferior work with their contractors. Would politicians award road jobs to seasoned contractors instead of their cronies who would use wheel barrow, shovel etc as we saw in one State in the South East.
Would the public servants charged with supervision of the jobs, do it without collecting kick backs to allow infractions?
Where do we start? There are many reasons why our roads cannot be like that.

SirWarlock:
Culture cos imo Nigerians don't have a knack for beauty and maintenance. Those streets definitely aren't new so would have gone years of redesigning and maintenance. Also did we as a country ever care of urban design and planning and I'm talking about not just demolishing property in the name of infringement

PhiliptheArab:


So you want a Nigerian leader to go to Tokyo and replicate their railway system...and maintain it with what money and on a gdp that is far less than Japan.?

You mean well, but what you are implying will end us up with more debt or with a railway that would break down in years because no money for maintenance.(due to the fact that people want to pay cheap ticket prices).


You Want Nigeria to be like Japan? Support a government that makes Nigeria industrial like Japan. Support a government that allows the power sector to charge properly for electricity and petrol...so that there would be enough power for an active industrial sector.

You want Nigeria to be like Japan. On a gdp and tax rate far less than Japan/ ? Shey you bought Ferrari at the price of a bicycle/?

Allwell96:
We also have fine streets like these in some major cities in Nigeria, like Abuja, Lagos, kaduna, Calabar etc.

GreyLaw:


Are you a politician? You sound like one, albeit smart.

No, Nigerians are not asking for Japan-like systems, Nigerians are asking for functionality. Common train system your leaders cannot even get right. They are still fighting on how to build it with geopolitical manipulations to suit their ulterior motives.

Sorry, if Nigeria had Britain's money today, they still wouldn't look like cool places in SA, Egypt, and Morocco, not to even talk of the Western world. On the other hand, if Britain had Nigeria's money today, lived here and ruled this country, they'd do something functional and beautiful.

These are facts. Don't keep supporting kleptocrats in agbada answering politicians in Nigeria. It seems you have not come to terms with the mind boggling corruption in the Nigerian space.

McTominay:

All the highrise buildings in high-rise areas where did they get the designs from?
It's high time we stopped spending billions of borrowed money on roads and payment of salaries and start building farms and refineries/ industries.

Raydos:


As much as I hate to admit this, it could perhaps turns out to be true at the end

That's why I am trying my best to at least not just my generation, but the whole black Race can enjoy this kind of world class Infrastructure in Africa before they die!!


Unlike a typical black man who thinks about himself and his family alone, I'm quite different, I think about the black Race entirely

PhiliptheArab:


We also even allowing for a return of all the loot dont have as much cash as the U.S.

GreenArrow1:
I was with my uncle driving on a federal highway last year when he just stopped the car for a brief moment and told me, " We are so backward, this place is just a farmland." He then continued driving in silence. That is somebody who constantly travels the world.
Those words and the serious look on his face when he said those words have stuck in my head.

Once the time comes, I go japa. Make my next generation get a chance at normal life, how normal human beings are supposed to live.

PhiliptheArab:
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

dalass:


Even if we had as much, such things will not be done because our politicians only delight in the beautification of their families and accounts and not the cities

Gerrard59:


OK. Could you recommend some books one can read to understand the histories better? Esp regarding blacks being in Korea, I'm interested.

poseidon12:


You raise the money by restructuring the country.

Tell1234:
What happen to the ones we have been paying in the past. the country you cited as example of country that pay council tax of 60000 and above, their citizens does not have to drill their own borehole nor do they have to generate their own light neither employee private security for their safety.

SmartPolician:


Your stupidity is so disgusting!

Tufiakwa!

Keep on blaming the white man for your stupidity

olatuns2017:
