Cities like this were not built in a day

This takes decades of careful planning and investment.
How many decades did they use to build Dubai, or is Dubai richer than Nigeria in resources?

When we see a good leader, with vision, less corrupt and not tribalistic, we will collectively vote.

For now, there is nothing close to a good leader, so I do not know the leader that u feel wants to stand for the people that went to war.
Hmm, so u mean say despite all his explanation, u still nor get he message?

FIRST NIGERIA CANNOT CONDUCT AN ELECTION, AS WITNESSED IN 2023.





HOW DO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT BUILDING WORLD CLASS CITIES, WHEN YOUR COUNTRY CANNOT CONDUCT ELECTION.



THOSE COUNTRIES YOU MENTION AND POSTED THEIR PICTURE, CONDUCT FLAWLESS ELECTION AND THAT IS HOW THEY BECOME DEVELOPED BECAUSE THIEVES AND DRUGGIE ARE NOT THEIR LEADERS.

We have the money, we lack the mind!

We don't have the money bros leve story.

Total FG budget of about N15trillion is just $20bln!!

Meanwhile California's budget for 2023 $297billion. One state o! Lagos budget is just $1.7bln. Multiply that over 50years of development and see the developmental gap it creates.

So when will Nigeria start planning to build such?

This won't happen with the kind of politicians we have today, they are all thieves.

Please stop using this statement 'Rome was not built in a day' to encourage stupidity, laziness and corruption

Yes they are. Their annual budget is 130 billion dollars for 70 million people.

Nigeria's is 50 billion dollars for 220 million people.

The oil and gas revenue might have been somewhat sufficient 20 years ago.

Today, it's a pittance cos of our population growth.

We need further diversification and better taxing systems to generate more revenue for development.


Who told you Nigeria annual budget is 50billoin dollar? and south Africa is 130billion.

Do your research very good...

Any leader that will stand for d people of Nîgerià to bring the complete dividends of democracy in education, roads, electricity, water, security, jobs etc etc will be going to a wàr that will definitely cóñsume him and his family.
Are these people wórth that stress?
The avèràge Nîgèrîan will choose allegiance to religîón and trîbè and complain about good or bàd góvèrnance, getting to the level d OP is posting requires all hands on deck.

Yes it is! Smaller landmass, far smaller population ,more oil and far more tourism. Not to talk of making itself attractive to foreign capital.

Those cities were built by the Boers not blacks.

Those cities were built over several decades from proceeds of daimond, Gold and platinum found in South Africa.
What have you built with the proceeds of oil since 1960....Keep deceiving yourself.

With the amount of corruption in Nigeria,,it will never happen,,, Nigeria discovered oil in abundance before South African got their independence from the whites, but just look at
the way south Africa is miles ahead of Nigeria in terms of development. I don't know why we blacks are cursed and backward. why can't we ever get it right for once? corruption have eaten deep into us hence why we will never move far....

Private sector builds cities not Government. Port Harcourt would have been very close to these cities if not for systemic marginalization and exclusion of Southeast.

Calm down.

Nigeria? A place where most of the people still see pedestrian overpass and straight flyovers as the 10th wonder of the world, this kind of city will exist in Nigeria using Vision 4040 ( two centuries away).

Let's start with Federal highways first, uninterrupted power supply and then 3-storeys that won't collapse.

Lol, you are kidding right

That guy is right, we certainly don't have the money .


If you have an idea and natural resources and you have no clue on how to convert it to wealth, then you have nothing nothing nothing.

Decades after white people have left Nigeria, we can't even pump or negotiate with OPEC to supply at least 5,000,000 barrels per day.

Cos of corruption and kickback, everyone wants to get their own percentage that will be entering their own pockets. Because of that nothing is done.

If the country is rich, minimum wage should have been ₦150k per month. And you will see how other countries will see Nigeria as a destination to come and live.

My younger brother in Houston Texas makes around $300 per day delivery small boxes. That's like ₦210,000 per day in Nigeria. Show me any dispach rider that can earn that in a month in Nigeria

If you don't want to normalise poverty in your life and think you are doing okay, my brother Japa ASAP. Let your children thank you for putting efforts to make their own lives better.
