Mcreloaded:Actually, that would be Switzerland. At least half of all looted funds on Earth are deposited there. Followed by Britain. Funnily enough, those countries are usually listed among the ‘least corrupt nations’ on Earth. Oyinbo abracadabra. They should be right up there at No1 and 2 and 3 and 4. 1 Like |

NIGERIA IS AFRICA’S GREATEST NATION. THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF AFRICA. FILM CAPITAL OF AFRICA. MUSIC CAPITAL OF AFRICA. FASHION CAPITAL OF AFRICA. CLUBBING AND NIGHTLIFE CAPITAL OF AFRICA. ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF AFRICA. FOOD & CUISINE CAPITAL OF AFRICA. TECH STARTUP CAPITAL OF AFRICA. SPORTS CAPITAL OF AFRICA. FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF AFRICA. WHAT A GREAT NATION! Now, of course, as we have 220 million people and are still a developing country, we unfortunately have the largest number of poor people of any country in Africa, leading some to call us a POVERTY CAPITAL, but it’s only a matter of time before THE MAJORITY OF GREAT NIGERIAN PEOPLE are carried along in this GREAT MARCH FORWARD TO PROSPERITY OF THIS MIGHTY AFRICAN GIANT.  |

Abagworo:Exactly. Nigerians must understand that open gutters are unsightly, unhygienic, and backward. Sure, it costs a bit more to build the proper way, but we just have to do it. Does Rwanda have more money than even one state in Nigeria? How can they do it so comfortably? I think what we need is a national assembly bill making it mandatory for all roads in residential and business areas in the country to be provided with covered drainage and sidewalks. Every state government will have to choose a number of streets to work on, and the next administration does the same, till all the streets are done. It will seriously cut down having to use cars and transport. You will be shocked at how far you will happily walk on a pavement dedicated for pedestrians. You can walk 5 kilometres or more, easily without breaking sweat. |

Jcoleworld911:What's with this ''estate'' stuff? Are the estates not in Nigeria? I'm not differentiating between estate and non estate. Most of the so-called estates don't even have sidewalks and covered drains, so it's not about estate or not. It's about the mindset. Are we wiling to join the civilized world or are we not? In Rwanda if you are a public official who builds a road without sidewalks for pedestrians, you will be jailed.

Pakistanis make light of frequent power blackouts By Ariba Shahid and Waseem Sattar January 24, 2023 KARACHI, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Pakistan's worst power outage in months became a source of humour for some in the country of 220 million, where an energy network desperately in need of an upgrade can lead to frequent blackouts and electricity rationing. The nationwide outage, the second since October that left schools, hospitals and businesses without electricity, was resolved on Tuesday after 24 hours. Pakistan's energy minister blamed it on a lack of investment in the network and said lessons had been learnt. Although the outage affected the internet and mobile phone services, it didn't stop many Pakistanis from taking to Twitter and other social media to share jokes and memes. "Scenes at the home of that friend who has solar panels," Twitter user @zoeneedstherapy captioned a photo showing a single power outlet with five mobile phone chargers sticking out of it. Millions of Pakistanis suffer partial blackouts almost daily, including scheduled "load shedding" power cuts aimed at conserving electricity. The disruptions have fuelled years of strong demand for alternative power supplies and some local governments offer subsidised solar panels. ''I'm tired of this country'' - Pakistani man's expression shows exasperation. https://cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/HIK2MDPZQBPMXEBDUXYFZWCCAU.jpg In a village outside the southeastern city of Jacobabad in Sindh province, a Reuters correspondent saw a single solar panel on the roof of the one-room home of a family of melon farmers. "Nowadays everybody has solar panels ... but they face trouble at night because they have no other source of power," said Sara Khan, the principal of a girls' school in Jacobabad, which regularly goes through scheduled blackouts that last up to 18 hours a day. In many big cities, including the capital Islamabad and financial hub Karachi, many residents have installed at least three backup sources: solar panels, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) units and fuel-powered generators. "Electricity problems are common here," said Karachi-based lawyer Ishtiaq Ahmed. "People have alternative arrangements, but these also have their limit." A popular meme taken from a Spiderman comic book showed three "Spidermen" standing in a circle, pointing to each other and saying "I have a UPS but it isn't charged"; "I have a generator that runs on fuel, but there is no fuel"; "I have a solar panel but there is no sunlight". But the outages also take their toll. Irfan Khan, a 30-year-old student preparing for an upcoming exam, said he lost power even before Monday's major outage. "It was terrible," Khan said in the northeastern city of Peshawar after leaving his tribal area to prepare for the exam. "I didn't charge my phone, I didn't study for two days and I didn't have water in the washroom." https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pakistanis-make-light-frequent-power-blackouts-2023-01-24/ |

Pakistan, roughly the same population as Nigeria, is struggling with a 700,000 backlog in passport applications, with 45,000 new applications PER DAY, as people desperately try to flee the crumbling economy of the country, for 'greener pastures' in US, UK, Canada, Germany, France etc.. The country's passport office cannot print the passports fast enough to meet demand, and has now run out of PAPER to make the passports!
