The UAE politicians who conceived the idea are the ones to be praised, not the engineers who were only contracted to carry out the idea. It's like saying China developed Nigeria, just because they were given the contract of building our roads and railways.

Dumbo. Black Americans DID build America. And if you have a city to build in Nigeria, (such as Eko Atlantic, which you've likely never heard of) there will be no shortage of Nigerian engineers at your disposal, if you can pay them.

Nigerian engineers built Dubai but can't build their own country.

You can't give what you dont have.

Pls stop the lies.

Black Americans will say, blacks built Americans now they are telling Nigerians, they built Dubai.

Rossikki:


But there ARE many who do say precisely THAT, ie that ''China developed Nigeria'', or more often, that ''China developed Africa'', based on the large number of Chinese-related projects here.

So don't try to get all cute when it is OUR turn to say ''we built that place''.

Rossikki:


Dumbo. Do you realise that Nigeria probably has more qualified engineers than the entire Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa combined?

Why is it so hard to understand that that pool of highly talented manpower will be deployed extensively in Dubai, which is within the geographic and climatic region of Nigeria?

The problem with many of you is just raw ignorance, inferiority complex, and lack of exposure.

I bet you don't know there are thousands of Nigerian engineers working in Nigeria right now in all sorts of projects, from Mambila Dam to Dangote Refinery to Eko Atlantic. All game-changing, world class projects of the first order.

I bet you don't know that Nigeria has been sending doctors and nurses to the Caribbean and poorer African countries for several decades as part of the Nigerian Aid Corps.

You think everyone in Nigeria is a useless layabout like you doing nothing, and blaming Buhari and Fulanis for their uselessness?

Thank goodness we have smart Nigerians like these doing us proud. As for you. Go learn a skill and contribute, instead of being a useless, disgruntled finger pointer.
