oga, all these tribalism helps nobody.

let us come together and move our nation forward.

if we must disagree on certain issues, let it all be geared towards development of the nation.


All these conehead, afonja, aboki, Ipigidiots, Igbo etc helps no one

Ibadan, Nigeria 1970 vs 2020. Can you tell the difference?

The difference is only on the high definition camera used in taking the current picture.

Similarity: Brown roof republic

Generation 2021
Shall God come down?
Man has the problem of sufferings and inequalities. Solution to this problems is expected from Universities, Professors or Ph.d holders. But not one of these has the answer.
No one Nation on the surface of the earth has problem but man, and no one Nation by whatsoever method of governance can have answers to human problems. Man and nations expect tradition, religion, economics, education, on politics to solve man's problem, but they will always fail.
Only a neutrality to the above have answers but it is not wanted in the realm of man. However, if this post unlike previous post can have thirteen thousand us-dollars on or without condition: In ninety six hours man should contend answers to her problems.

I beg to differ.

If the first picture was taken with a super camera like the first and given a nice picture edit and filters, then you'd see the development in your own country as well.

Yes, camera quality played a role.

However, those pictures contain huge differences.

Check the other side of the lake to see the number of beautiful houses that sprang up in two decades

Nice try!

But did you notice that there's no other high-rise building like the first building in the picture?

While the before-and-after pictures show a difference in development, I don't see any big deal there.

I think the same pictures of Marina show much more development.

The infrastructure of the space is just part of the growth. The main growth is the infrastructure of the brain. Nigerians and Africans in generals are dead last in critical stream of thought.

Oga we don't need to Photoshop our country before we can see the beauty and the development

Aconomist:
You are still blaming leadership? Nigerians are the problem. An the best thing that could happen to this country is that it be wiped from the face of the earth. If I tell the typical nigger-arean that Dangote is destroying Nigeria's economy, he will want to fight me or tell me to "start my own cement company".

How then, can we say that these monkeys don't have the country they deserve? A stagnant population will have stagnant leaders and a stagnant country.

you are absolutely right. With the full support Dangote gets from the Government, cement shouldn't be more than 5 hundred Naira. The truth is that the Northeners have a wicked agender and that is to plunge this country into penury then use the money stolen to treat everyone like an Almajiri-- turn everyone to beggers. Beggars are increasing daily on the roadside. that's the objective of this Government and the Northerners.

We continue blaming our leaders and asume the rest of us are blameless.

Whats responsible for the dev of any civilization is their tradition and culture.

The pics of the nations above, have a tradition of high grade dev, pls check dia history. Those are ancient great guys.

Nigeria and Nigerians are not in dia leauge.

Make we rest.

We dont have the brian power or idealogy that can phantom great dev.

Make una rest.

Idiot, this is still a picture of Ibadan

I bet you don't how big Ibadan is, Ibadan is as big as Anambra and sure you will find a lot of places and estates with good development.

You can still find bad pictures of the ghetto areas in Tokyo, New York and China

Same way there are also a lot of bad pictures of the East on the Internet

Ibadan, Nigeria 1970 vs 2020. Can you tell the difference?

These are also pictures of Ibadan in 2020

Ibadan is as big as Anambra state and you will still find a lot of places with decent development.

Even in Kano you will still find places with decent development but the problem is only those who have the financial capability can live in those areas, even in Lagos and Abuja if you are not capable enough financially you can only live in Slums and ghetto.

The problem we have in Nigeria is poverty, address the poverty issues and all the beautiful places you see in developed nations will sprout out here too.

In Nigeria many people can't even afford three square meals a day or get employ as a graduate or get any job, most people hardly make 3$ a day and you are talking of skyscrapers? How many people can afford to live or do business in those kind of buildings in Nigeria?

Aconomist:
It only takes 20 years for a country to transform from abject poverty to first world status. What is Nigeria doing wrong? The following photo is a picture of Shanghai China in 1990 compared to 2010 -- just 20 years!

no joy.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, a country were corruption is called smartness, a country were no one thinks about the other person, a country were everyone wants to use the other person to survive, a country were everyone wants free things, the annoying thing is that our education doesn't make us understand the problem, if it did the current crop of idiots enjoying the status quo will feel threatened, the Orwellian nightmare never came true. It has always been here.

There has been no improvement since then.

You call mansions development? Nigerians have zero critical thinking.

Rugaria:


I don't believe that all dictators are evil, neither do I believe that all democracies are good... The taste of the pudding is in the eating... South korea, China, UAE, Qatar etc were all built up by either army Generals, communists, oligarchs or absolute monarchs.. Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand had the fakest democracies that were highly productive in terms of being responsive to the aspirations of the people.. Indonesia was set up by Suharto, a General! Many examples like this.. So when you talk of Africans holding their leaders accountable, you have to understand that firstly, you need to have a leadership willing to work for the entire country!

But if what you have is a dictatorship like the case of Marcos in the philippines, or PolPot in cambodia, or Buhari in Nigeria, the country will ultimately decay! Economic progress is hard to come by under self centered dictators and illiterate fake democrats alike.. Most African leaders were basically imposed. In the quest to have true African leaderships across the continent, wars have been fought to uproot some of them to no avail.. But when one talks about some of these western impositions and the effects of their loyalty to outsiders on the development of the continent, it sounds like you are giving excuses. Fact is that, if you don't have nationalist leaders accountable to the citizens of their countries, unproductive governance will still be the bane..

Leaders are a product of their culture. If you have a rubbish culture, you will have rubbish leaders. You say the West gave us Buhari? Then explain why our governors, senators and house of reps are also bad. Did the West impose them on us or did we elect them? What about our corrupt police men and teachers -- did the West "impose" them too? Did they fall from the sky or are they also Nigerians?

Nigerians have the leaders they deserve. A nation of monkeys will be ruled by monkeys. And unless you can admit this, you are part of the problem.
