Every African country is lacking in all you have enlisted. Am a realist, unlike you guys that would tell lies to feel happy.

From all you listed, Electricity is the basic thing we are lacking, and who dafuk told you we are lacking in water supply?? that the Government doesn't supply every area with water doesn't mean we don't have improvised and substantial means of getting water. As for the rest we are still trying, that doesn't mean we are totally doomed nor does it mean we ain't making any progress like you guys always make it look. Nigeria has got more health care facilities compared to Ghana, but the increasing population remains a bane.

Don't forget there is a large population and Geographical area meant to cover, even China a first world country has these problems much more we.

As for education, don't be deluded by what you hear, for the fact that Nigerians are schooling in Ghana doesn't mean you guys are better, most of them couldn't meet up with the educational standard and criteria here, reason they all go to where they would find it easy, many of these people have failed JAMB and POST UTME here several times, we have got many Federal, State and Private universities, not adding Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, but you won't find it easy cos of the fierce competition, In Nigeria we struggle for everything, don't forget the population factor, this is the major reason Nigerians are known for hard work and can survive anywhere in world owing to the society they were breed in.

Both the Rich, Middle class, and poor are all struck in same competition at one time or the other.

read over your stuff and make the corrections begging for attention . Lagos has just 25% of it population covered when it comes to water supply
the entire Nigeria average is around 34% or so and this is really not good

Nowenuse:
Did i ever argue with you that Abuja is very big?

All i ever said was that Abuja is bigger than both Tema and Accra so many times. And i have proven it with statistics. If you want to disprove it, do it with statistics or just keep shut!

and did i say Tema was bigger than Abuja?
I told you that the built up environment of Abuja was smaller than Tema and went on to tell you that ive driven throughboth of them
end to end and made that observation

You just have to be sincere with the fact that youve not been to Abuja before

uzzyfire:
IDIOT !!! we are 180million ,how is that even possible. after u wud call me a kid mumu

ask the US how they got there

uzzyfire:
Jeez ,guy don't say this thing outside

except it's the truth
Even if your country gathers the money for most of these stuffs, half of it will go missing by the following year .
it takes years to put up meaningful infrastructure

uzzyfire:
later u will say Nigerians are trooping into Ghana ,so therefore "Ghana is better than Nigeria " are the Chinese not trooping into Ghana . is Ghana better than China mumu

there are less thn 5000 Chinese in Ghana so i cn't call it trooping.
Trooping is when 2500 people from a particular country enters My country through the border.
It becomes a migration crisis

uzzyfire:
dude wat Eva u choose to billive abt Nigeria is ur business ,no one cares at all

and yet Lagos alone is richer and more prosperous than d whole Ghana , how is that even possible wen Ghana has all these things like u claim

when you live in a backward society that celebrate tribalism , i dont expect you to know better
you ARE just a kid who hasnt sat for his WAEC EXAMS yet

leathalbeast:
he is even repeating some of his pictures

he runned out of pics

Nowenuse:
And do you know my socio-economic status?
The rich and the high middle class can very well afford Abuja. Even average middle class people can.
It all depends on the way you plan your income and your life.
Dont be so ignorant of these simple things.

Obviously , you are really poor
and dont really know your country

Nowenuse:
Oga nor be for mouth.
Bring proofs to show. I have brought my proof, where is your own proof?

Those who understand Geography and built environment knows what im talking about
if you want another prove , then i dont know when and what might draw me back to Abuja
i would have offered you a free ride to your capital city.
Obviously you've not been there

Nowenuse:
Don't allow Just30 fool you because Accra city proper (Accra metropolis) is even smaller.

Abuja municipality (Abuja city proper) is ten times bigger than Accra metropolis (Accra city proper).

Look at it below for yourself. Statistics do not lie!
Ghanaians are big time loosers!

how does it change the fact that Abuja built up environment is less biger than Tema?

Nowenuse:
See this one oh, and does Ghana have all these things you are listing in perfect conditions??
Where are you when people are crying for Accra?

#IcryForAccra

off course all of those stuffs are in a much more better condition that can make me called them reliable

Muafrika2:
Good luck with that!

We might just go requesting for a bigger loan to build an even bigger prison from China inorder to be able to host them in prison as well

PissedYagami:
Just like the Nigerians

we have poor records when it comes to our prisons
Foreigners have filled it up

Muafrika2:
The courts will be focussing on what exactly?

prosecuting mining offenses
Illegal mining became an issue over the past Four years and their day of reckoning is in

BedLam:
if anyone is interested in schooling there, it's because their system is not rigorous like ours. Do you know the number of Nigerians schooling in private colleges in Ghana ? Did they see this thread ?
What about South Africa? Stop the mediocre attitude.

rigorous is the wrong word to use
Conjested might be closer to what it is

Muafrika2:
The hustle is real

They are also here killing our elephants for ivory.

A special court was set up by the Chief Justice of Ghana, yesterday.
They will start finding themselves in the already choked prisons of Ghana before they are deported.

arinzeejikonye:
I dig,one thing is sure she aint utopian eldorado,but what i showed you left you in awe,yeah,this is the part you wont see on cnn,bbc.


Lagos is expanding and going through urban renewal and regenerations.

Rankings might not be a true reflection of reality
So seeing is believing
You can choose to believe what you want,it is your right,your believability



As for malls in the whole of the subregion nigeria got the most,largest,sleekiest,

Jabi lake mall abuja

this guy is deluded
No one who has been to Nigeria will be in awe after seeing the pics of a place he has been to before.
And for that mall, the car park is empty

Marcelo290:
You see what am saying? They lack proper basis for arguments, they would just rather make a generalized statement to boost their little ego, at least you sound a bit intelligent compared to the Oxygen dude, now tell me how your statement above has countered my facts filled assertions? you see why I prefer Kenyans?

Funny enough, this is someone who claims to have been to Nigeria. Baba we argue with facts and not your usual chest beating and throwing of banters... Prove me wrong or forever remain silent, don't quote me and type trash, make use of your God given brain for once.

who would go on that line that have already been argued ?
You can keep watching those pics to build up your ego and feel good but Everyone who has been to your country knows the problems instead of working on it, you play politics and tribalism.
Its called
Electricity
Water supply
Health care
Education
Transportation
Infrastructure (to combine every other thing)

Joonana:
You've got great pics of Lagos .. why is it at the bottom of the worst cities to live in ?

they will bring up al sort of theories but we who have been there knows the experience

Muafrika2:
How much gold is there in Ghana? I've been hearing of Chinese flocking there and putting makeshift mining outfits all over the place. They must be as excited as when Europeans first saw the Ashanti wearing gold everywhere.

the Chinese are quite stubborn
You deport them and more come back again

Nowenuse:
Are you an illiterate? There is nothing like driving from Abuja end to end. And what if Abuja was triangularly shaped and you traversed the apex part of it? Can you call that end to end?

You can only judge with the km² land area of the municipality, and it is far far larger than Tema metropolis.
Tema just has less than 200k people and you want to compare with Abuja municipality with over 2 million people currently.
Let's take your joke nicely.

The federal govt now want to integrate all Abuja satelite towns within the FCT into Abuja municipality and that would make Abuja city so massive (over 5 million people) in a well planned Abuja city. Imagine that?
Another huge financial centre like Lagos is loading in Nigeria.

i traversed
North to south and East to West, that us what i mean by end to end.
I guess geography was a problem for you
It's like me saying, the northern region of Ghana has the largest land area in Ghana so its bigger but when you go there, its just a small build up area.
Abuja is smaller than Tema and i did the driving myself

Marcelo290:
The Oxygen guy was posting random pictures of small Ghana and I was just laughing, while my fellow Compatriot is posting just pictures of the Lagos and it's sub-hurbs and still beating the contest, that's to tell we compare your whole country to Lagos.

I had tried several times to explain to these guys that Nigeria is too big for this comparison, but they won't listen, Nigeria has 36 states, and each of these states have got a capital city, which we don't even touch most times in course any argument, Now imagine what it would look like posting random pictures of these places... the comparison would eventually look biased, because we would beat them hands down! heck... I would keep reiterating that Nigeria is too big for this argument, for every one structure you have, we have 36 of them scattered across different cities and state capitals here in Nigeria including Abuja.

deal with that!

deal with it
When your whole country is a mess and won't be on par with any civilized society for a very long time to come
Nigeria is not Ghana's mate
Even if Ghana stops developing for 20 years

Nowenuse:
I have observed that some Ghanaians just like to talk for talking sake.
First of all. Abuja city does not have a definite area. This is why it is located in the FCT (over 7,000 km²) and the city is eventually targetted to cover the whole FCT very soon.

Look at the land area of Tema metropolis and Abuja municipality below and compare by yourself pls.
Remember that Abuja municipality does not cover Abuja satelite towns within the FCT

ive been to Abuja and ive been to Tema
Driving through Abuja from end to end was a short task

arinzeejikonye:
Gidi

Ghana peeps i hope you can see

message us when 50% of Nigerians enter the middle class bracket

Nowenuse:
Infact ehn, i think i have to give up on these arguments with these people.
It's such an insult to see these countries comparing themselves with Nigeria because of their little achievements in Accra, they don't know that they should be competing rather with some states in Nigeria.

Let Ghanaians and others hear this loud and clear!
For everything that is being built in Accra or Kumasi, it is being replicated almost in the entire 36 states of Nigeria.
Nigerian governors are now competing heavily with each other on whose states should be better.
Some Nigerian states are now even outcompeting the Nigerian federal government. That's why you see some Nigerian cities outcompeting Abuja (Federal capital territory) in developmental strides.

This competition between Nigerian states is getting hotter by the year and in few years from now, many Nigerian states will be competing individually with the biggest countries in Africa. Lagos and Rivers states have already started this.

Sorry guys, we are really really not your mates in anything. This is why many Nigerians are fighting for fiscal federalism and confederacy. Nigeria should be a union of countries and not just a country.

good to know that
Hope they become better at all things
In the meantime, stop comparing your country to Ghana
Nigeria is not in our league
What ever you guys are doing, was done here 50 years ago

Nowenuse:
No, you are the bigger idiot here.
Haven't you heard of Lekki city, Banana island, Ikoyi island, Ajah, Lagos island e.t.c in Lagos? Or you think Lagos state is so small as Nairobi?
All these places i mentioned for you were built entirely from the scratch.
Lekki city was built from the scratch few years ago and it now has over 500k people, almost all who live in estates.

What about Abuja? Do you think people are allowed to build their houses anywhere they like in Abuja? Only estate developers build houses in Abuja and this is why the largest estate and some of the most beautiful estates in Africa are in Abuja.
Most of these modern and new estates in Abuja and Lagos provide 24 hours electricity, water and a sewage system for their residents. They also provide malls, entertainment and recreational centres for their residents. These estates are in a hot competition for domination of the cities if you know what am talking about.

Some of you fools just think what you read on the media about Nigeria is all that there is to Nigeria and this is the height of stupidity.

I haven't even talk about the wonderful estates springing up in other Nigerian cities like Enugu, Ibadan, Port harcourt, Kano e.t.c

only the rich of Nigeria lives in Abuja
You can't afford it no matter how affordable it may be
Alienating 160 million people

Nowenuse:
Have you been to Abuja?
90% of Abuja is made up of residential estates, heck the largest estate in Africa is in Abuja.
Most Abuja estates supply 24 hrs electricity and water to their occupants.

i thought we've established that already?
Ive been to Abuja and Tema is bigger than Abuja. Mind, you im talking about built environment.
Tema was the first planned city built from nothing probably in West Africa.
It hasit own central sewage system

leathalbeast:
you started with Lagos but u have added Abuja to it. do you think if we add kumasi to it you can stand the heat?

not even Kumasi, Just add Tema

leathalbeast:
but seriously how old are you?

he's just a kid who joined nairaland this year

uzzyfire:
looooopolll, infe wat? guy no dey tall that kain rubbish abeg. y wud I feel inferior to Ghana

dont speak that mess to
Type proper English

fanficgirl:
You guys do the same in your forums but you don't dee Nigerians trooping LOl

no we don't do the same Nigeria only come up for discussion when a Nigerian goes to steal and he's caught.

uzzyfire:
guy go and sleep ,u don't have anything g to say again . Ghana has nothing on Nigeria

inferiority at best
