Don't be stuhpidt,if you claim to have the greatest city in Africa you should be able to show evidence not sketched picture.Where is the ruins of this great city?If you go to Rome,Jerusalem,Istanbul,Egypt etc you will see magnificent ruins of Roman empire which was way older than your bini village witchcraft empire.

Okay below is picture of ancient city of Timbuktu in Mali.They are older than your Bini empire yet it still stands.

By the time the British invaded in 1897, Benin had terribly declined and deteriorated, it was was no more great or powerful,even smaller local states were harrasing it,not to talk of the British

Most Forest state africans did not know advanced writing forms, you can't blame them for that,writing spread from the east,then Egypt then to Greece who later spread it to Europe, Europeans didn't develop independent writing ability,why should Africans be blamed for not developing independent writing ability

The Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has reacted to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's downplaying the hardship in the country with his view that it's not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

Obi said that rather than face the reality that we are the poverty capital of the world and the most insecure people and take decisive steps to stem the situation, the government is trying to play the ostrich even when the people are overwhelmed by the situation.

Writing on his X handle the former Anambra State Governor said "The problems facing Nigeria are well-known to all Nigerians. We are the poverty capital of the world, among the most insecure people on earth, among the hungriest, have poor education quality and the highest number of out-of-school children, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, the highest income gap between the poor and the rich, high corruption perception index, infrastructure and healthcare challenges, and more.

"It's disheartening to hear those in charge, who were hired to address our problems, make statements like "we are not the only ones struggling with poverty and hunger." Instead of merely acknowledging that other countries face similar challenges, we need to hear a thorough plan of action to tackle our unique struggles. We require concrete solutions and a clear vision to address these issues, not comparisons that downplay our circumstances. I urge those in leadership positions to offer tangible solutions, not mere reminders that others face similar challenges. We need a comprehensive approach to tackle our specific challenges, not generalizations that dismiss our experiences.

"A true leader provides direction, guidance, solutions, and reassurance in times of crisis. This is the hallmark of visionary leadership and a trait of nations that are making progress and advancing their development. They don't simply state the obvious but offer a roadmap for overcoming obstacles. Just like a pilot, who doesn't just announce turbulence; they assure passengers that they will do everything possible to ensure a safe journey.

"Only then can we begin to trust that our country is in capable hands, working towards a brighter future for all Nigerians.

Honestly, this is all Nigerians want in life. They want to see big men stand next to each other. I'm not trying to be funny either, this is it.
And anyone who believes it's something else is not honest. This is what makes us happy

fastseo:
ABA people are happy

Yankee101:
A lot of the estate roads are privately built
The developer builds his own infrastructure in a lot of developments in nigeria
That’s why they are tailored. Of course the initial design for Abuja added those features too

Biggeststar01:
Bros let’s see your state. Enough insulting people on a faceless forum. You’re embarrassing yourself

NaijaCowFarm:
Oga, does Abuja have a central drainage system, abi na to cover the gutter be your challenge.
Wait when silt will fill those gutters, na broken pieces you go dey pack side by side.

if you doubt, ask people in Festac.

AcuraZDX:
City of Estates?

Which Abuja?

This one na clown true true.

I bet you haven't been to Abuja all your life

Lumarstone:
If some states must build this type of street road, a lot of demolition must occur and most of the state governors are not all that wicked to demolish peoples houses with paying compensation.

Some states governors are doing well in times of street road construction.

I left..!

vanbonattel:
Why talking state governors, are all federal roads done now?

AcuraZDX:
So Estate roads are now the entire Abuja? Lmao.

All thess clowns

vanbonattel:
Na covered drains we go chop?

Dollar is N1,600 now

vengertime:
Ungrateful human beings

michlins:
keen observation but if only the federal government can replicate the pace with which this state is developing and extend same across Nigeria, this nation will not be in this state of comatose.

But then, you can celebrate this small but very important milestone by this government if you're a man of goodwill
