abbey621: Shebi dat guy Obaseki just entered power. Just be watching.... Nothing is going to change in Edo state. He will not do anything significant from his predecessor. It's just political party that changed hands. Do you know why nothing will happen under his regime, it is because the system itself is not accountable. Even if Angel Michael comes down to earth to rule Nigeria, he too will not perform. The system needs to be overhauled not the faces in government. You don't get my point, in Edo state, it is only the face of governor that was changed. The entire corrupt system is still very much in place. If the corrupt system is not changed, Obaseki cannot do much, his hands will be tied. 1 Like |

Jupiter7: I only mentioned Edo because you siad our votes don't matter. Even if Obaseki does not perform, he can always be replaced. When we sell our votes or refuse to vote, we have zero chance of a peaceful revolution and unless you are ready to spill blood, voting is still the surest way to wards progress. You keep mentioning corrupt system but how do you change that corrupt system by relying on the same corrupt people to change it? The first step is changing our mentality, stop the selling of votes, protect the ballots, form new parties led by innovation and youth. The next step is getting these people elected from the grassroots up. Next, on the federal level even if it is just 2-3 seats in the House and 2-3 seats in the senate, the change has begun, 2-3 will become 7-10 until majority. We need to think beyond the immediate and focus on the ones to come, our children and grandchildren. We need to deviate from immediate glory and work on something that will last for generations to come. Life is not a sprint but a slow marathon, let's control what we can and worry less about the things we have no control of. Now now, I know what you're thinking, where's the money to finance all these, I present exhibit one, the power of crowd funding. Do you know how much was raised in a couple of days for the EndSARS protest? Imagine the same passion or more for the new youth party. No more godfathers, no more cabals, we the people are now sponsoring a government for the people! |

The problem with Nigerians is that they are busy stretching their necks like ostrich and looking very far at the source of where their problems are. 90% of people don't know who their local government chairman(LGC) is . The arm of government who is supposed to closest to them. 99% of Nigerians have never had a meeting with their local government chairman, they don't even care to know sef. Do you know that it is the constitution for the LGC to organize town hall meetings of his constituents every week? Do you know you don't have to wait for 4 years to booth out any of your state legislatures that is underperforming? You as state citizens can collectively booth dem out any day if you follow the right procedures. Stop looking far, Charity begins at home!! 2 Likes |

abbey621: You don't have to wait for four years to crowdfund to present a candidate at the ballot box, this can be easily truncated. If the youths are serious, they should start NOW to crowdfund, get the required amount of signatures and booth out your underperforming state house of legislatures out of office. That should be your first step! And not waiting for 2022. |

Jupiter7: Did you know they lash people for spitting in the streets in Singapore (the richest country in Asia). You fear lashes because you are one of these monkeys who pollutes the street and you are scared of punishment. People are like you are the problem. If I catch you, you will get 50 lashes with a bamboo rod until you learn to act civilized. This is Singapore. Throw trash in the streets here, and you won't make it out alive.

Obioma993:its so unfortunate that some very few are the ones enjoying in this country while the rest are suffering and smiling. what is available in this country is enough to go round but greed and selfishness will not allow our leader to do the right thing. anyways I don't blame them because the very few among the oppressed are their praise singers and the rest that tends ask for their right are tagged anti Government or member of an opposing side. 1 Like |

PhiliptheArab:Our problems are multidimensional and you can't fix Nigeria using a single solution. If public officials steal pension funds that were contributed by poorly pàid workers, what makes you think they will not steal your tax? 2 Likes |

We cant have streets n roads like dis because we dont really pay tax in nigeria. In developed countries you cant start any business no matter how small without registering the business.. |
Re: Why Don't We Have These Kind Of Streets In Nigeria? by Aconomist: 3:44pm On Nov 28, 2020 |
ADAMUdaCOWBOY:Well, regardless the tax base needs to increase. Even if they steal 90% of the money 10% will reach its intended purpose, and we have to accept paying more in tax. No country has ever developed without at least 15% tax to GDP while we have only 6%. When we have a tax rate of just 6% of GDP it scares away international investors because the country looks unstable and it makes the currency weaker. It also makes the government pay higher interest rates on its debt wich crashes the Naira even more. In the end this ends up hurting everyone because we need a strong respected currency if we want to develop and that depends on TAX. |

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. U are wrong bro. Ask yr self, how much does Nigerians earn monthly And how much do those in UK earn monthly before they were able to pay that amount of tax And don't forget the tax includes so many benefits, not just good roads Oya compare by yr self. |
