I see China, Japan, Hong Kong and south Korea are far more developed in terms of infrastructure

And everyone in China, HK, and Korea wants to be in NY.

Strolling through 77th street in Brooklyn on my way to get some food


I notice the Americans get to name their streets differently from what we have in Naija.

E.g you'll hear things like Ring Road or Admiralty way in Naija but in America one tends to hear 77th street or 47th street.
Can you please break it down

millions of people in Nigeria are more comfortable than Springboot..

Nigeria didn't start in the year 1960, millions of Nigerians have generational wealth..

your comment reeks of envy..

he doesn't need to live in a luxury apartment or have a luxury car or well paid job to make comments... As long as his working and he can pay his bills and have savings then he can live comfortably and its the same for anyone...

your problem is you want to live a luxury life, own a luxury car and have a well paid job before you believe you're living comfortably and that's a negative mentality to have...

from this your comment, Your other problem is you're ready to verbally attack and most likely also physically attack Nigerians that you assume are doing better than you...

that he said he lived in the U:S does not mean its true as anyone can say anything online but its likely true as I said a lot of Nigerians have generational wealth especially if you come from a family whose grand parents were university educated and even great grand parents were university educated.

Millions? Millions of Nigerians have generational wealth?
Bruv,you seem to be living in an utopian world. You're bereft of the realities of this country.
Generational wealth: Wealthy.
Wealthy folks in this country can't be up to 50,000 talkless of "millions". Unless you're mistaking wealthy for rich or middle-class,even at that millions of Nigeria aren't rich. Nigeria isn't near a middle-class country.
The social disparity in Nigeria is very great,wealth is unevenly distributed.

I'm doing fine...you aren't big on help or empathy or empowerment of anyone..run alongyou are the person I described here, in case you again didn't comprehend. Won't respond to you again

The mistake people like you make is that you expect everyone to see things that are glare and agree. People like codemanics could be dead serious in what they are saying.
See, people operate on different standards. Your standards could be high while another person's standard is low. Therefore, everybody is right in a way.
Those days in school, some people popped champagne cos they made a 2-2 while some others were angry cos they didn't make first class, different standards.
For me, I can't willingly live in Nigeria in her present state no matter the millions I have. I don't see anything sweet in a country where even the basic things are not working. Even if you live in Banana island, won't you go to other places ?
But don't be surprised some people enjoy Nigeria they way it is. When your standard is too low, everything passes the test. So when codemanics tell you he enjoys Nigeria, he could be right and you have to believe him.

Especially in New york.New york is constructed in Grid pattern and it has streets and avenues.Usually, the avenue is the main road and the streets branch of the Avenues.For instance, you have Jamaica Avenue in Queens, and the streets branch off that Avenue up to like 250th street.The streets are largely residential. And the avenues are largely commercial. Same goes in Manhattan borough too.

Bros the benins re not better than an average Jamaican . In fact Benin re worse , charm , arms and ammunition etc re the weapons used to stop anyone progressing more than them .

I was posted to work in Benin, my wife got confused whether to cry or celebrate. When the posting changed to Kano, come and see my wife's celebration.

I guess no Benin girls to put sand in her garri was her problem. My problem was Benin people and their eye for the progressives, Kano ppl too, get their wahala.

Kano people are always in your personal business, but Benin, even your dreams na catchment area.

you are right jare..hence, my decision to ignore codemaniacs, esp as he decided to venture into even more ludicrous territory stating investors check nairaland before making investment decisions rather than such things as unstable economic policies, startling insecurity, macroeconomic indices. Lmao

Nigeria is where it is today because people like you like to deceive themselves that they can "see life through the eyes of poor people"... the day Nigerians stop "seeing life through the eye of poor people" is the day Nigeria will experience rapid development...

there is no such thing as a poor person... who do you classify as poor?

someone can have a well paid job and still be poor especially if that person lives above their means...

I am not privileged, I don't live above my means and I don't live life to impress people..

only people who live above their means and to impress people are the ones who want luxury apartment, luxury car and well paid job to boast and brag to people or want people to assume they are doing well..

some parts of Nigeria will always be dilapidated because one side of Nigeria was amalgamated with the wealthy side of Nigeria in 1914 and over 55% of that wealthy side revenue goes to the one side who were always meant to be an average country... this is the major problem people of the wealthy side of Nigeria face and most of them can't see it and admit it...

55% Revenue that should go to the upliftment and infrastructural development of the wealthy side is given with the one side, the british saw how wealthy and powerful the wealthy side will become and they put things in place to prevent the wealthy side from becoming extremely successful...

SMH

Wealthy side and the other side, hmmm

Enroute Brooklyn bridge

See clean environment, nice structured and positioned building. All their buildings are aligned and almost the same pattern in a particular street.

Road markings are just adornments to the already beautiful streets..

Even if Nigeria manages to mark roads potopoto in the tyres of vehicles coming from the muddy and eroded streets would erase it completely within one month..
