Corruption not taxes is the reason. Corruption is the reason why we cannot build such roads, the same Corruption is why there is no functioning refinery, why there is no 24hr electricity, pipe born water etc.

All the state governors are uniformly corrupt?

Including Alex Otti and the rest?

Bros if u gather all the roads in Rwanda add them to Lagos... U won't see a dam difference that's one

Drainage system is the most difficult thing in road construction especially in places like Lagos and South South even Abia too

The cost of one road in Lagos or bayelsa would do 20 in Abuja or Rwanda

Talk about what u know

I remember when I visited a City my friends where like "you are an expert in fluid mechanics.. How do we solve the flooded road " I looked at it once I told them the solution to this flood would be in a different LGA... They thought I was crazy... 7 years later JB did it and the drainage passed 4 LGA to fix a small flooded road

Drainage system is complex and people like u would prefer 15 roads with open gutter to 1 road with proper drainage

''The cost of one road in Lagos or bayelsa would do 20 in Abuja or Rwanda''

Really?

Can anyone confirm this guy's claim?

thewinning101:
Same question Ive been asking.

Why will a normal human being build a road and leave the gutter open to fill up within a year and overflow with sand which will start damaging the road right away?

Why keep the gutter open? So that people can sample smell of sewage water?

Honestly I don't get it.

And the sad thing is that all these leaders travel abroad every day, and they don't see any open gutters there.

Yet they come back here and build this garbage. It's pathetic.

ImmaculateJOE:
Take your campaign to Twitter.

I will be more appreciative if you can tag our Eastern governments.
I care less about the remaining 95%.

Thank you so much for the topic.

No worries, brother. Thanks.

Horus:
The Number one problem in Nigeria is corruption. Public funds that should be allocated for infrastructures end up in someone pocket

Public ignorance is a bigger problem in this instance I feel.

Corruption hasn't stopped the govt from building roads for cars to pass, so why does corruption stop them from building covered drains and sidewalks?

It's because the PEOPLE do not know any better.

They think it is OKAY to build a road with open gutters and no walkway.

They even PRAISE such projects and post them here on Nairaland to say the governor is doing well!

That's why the governors don't bother building the roads correctly.

If the public become aware, and demand that the roads be built properly or the governor's convoy STONED, the governors will sit up.

budaatum:
You are asking us to accept that Rwanda, South Africa and Kenya have better roads than we have when the truth is they have a lot of roads that are in the same condition ours are in.

South Africa has no open gutters.

The difference between Nigeria and Rwanda/Kenya is that when they build new roads, they build them the right way.

In Nigeria, apart from Abuja, Lagos and Akwa Ibom, the NEW roads in other states are still built with open drains for the most part, and not a thought for where pedestrians will walk!

It's like they're determined to remain backward.

budaatum:
mrvitalis does make a point.

In UK, Fuel duty is currently levied at a flat rate of 52.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel. 20% VAT is then charged on both the duty and the standard price while Nigeria subsidises.

Unleaded is £144.76p. Enough to make one protest if charged in Nigeria. Road tax is £190 per annum.

So you think Nigeria can't afford to cover its drains and build sidewalks?

How come Rwanda can afford it and they have no oil?

How come South Africa and even Kenya can afford it?

mrvitalis:
Those people in that road pay 50% of their income as tax

Would u be ready to pay 50% of your total income to have such roads?

Or you continue the tax u pay now and manage the road u get?

Is that so?

So you don't need 50% tax to build all these main roads, expressways, flyovers, railway, airports, seaports, but you need 50% tax to cover your open gutters and build sidewalks for pedestrians?

GIVE ME THE BLASTED BUDGET AND I'LL FIX IT.

You people have no shame.

RWANDA builds its roads the right way, and I bet they don't demand 50% tax for it!

A country that is still recovering from a genocidal civil war!

Go there today, it's full of tourists walking around, spending dollars, and Rwanda is now the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world.

Because they use their SENSE when they do things.

When these useless entities we call state governors build their roads, it looks nothing like this picture below.

This is the standard way you build a road in any metropolitan area.

There is the road for driving, and then there is a sidewalk for pedestrians.

Then below the sidewalk is the drainage.

The sidewalk hits the wall so it blocks out all sand, meaning the road is SEALED. You don't even need to sweep it.

The drains are covered, so no need for ''ENVIRONMENTAL DAY'', with citizens digging out MUCK from filthy open gutters.

NOW HERE IS THE QUESTION:

What is so hard about building our roads like this??

I LAUGH when I hear Nigerians talking about attracting TOURISTS to the country.

In fact some of you should be stand-up comedians.

NO TOURIST goes to a place where the roads are not built like this road below.

TOURISTS do not travel to a place in order to ride around in cars.

They are there to WALK.

And WALKING is not supposed to be 'SUFFERING' as we regard it here.

It's meant to be enjoyable. PEDESTRIANS are also TAXPAYERS and deserve their own road infrastructure, along with drivers.

Do you know that when you build roads with wide sidewalks, you can walk up to 10 kilometres and not feel it?

But with these useless roads we build with no designated walking space, you can't walk up to 1 kilometre without looking for okada or taxi.

That's why everyone is so desperate to own a car.

How many gutters will you jump?

When will these so-called state governors finally become CIVILISED like their counterparts all over the world?

If Nigeria had a leadership that is not Tinubu we would have many functional refineries including modular refineries.

MUMU, IS DANGOTE NOT A FUNCTIONING REFINERY?

YOU JUST SAW NIGERIA ON THE TOP 10 LIST, WITH A 20 BILLION DOLLAR FUNCTIONAL REFINERY, AND YOUR MUMU HEAD STILL TYPED THAT NIGERIA DOESN'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING REFINERY.

SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ON THIS FORIM.

If you were born in CHINA, you’d be a BUDDHIST or a TAOIST today.

If you were born in INDIA, you’d be a HINDUIST today.

If you were born in JAPAN, you’d be a SHINTOIST today.

If you were born in MALAYSIA, you’d be a BUDDHIST or a MUSLIM today.

If you were born in MAIDUGURI or SOKOTO, you would be a MUSLIM today.

The ONLY reason you are a CHRISTIAN today is you were BORN in a TINY region of the Earth where CHRISTIANITY is popular.

You are NOT a CHRISTIAN because you are righteous or good, or ‘chosen’ or ‘blessed’.

You are ONLY a CHRISTIAN by CHANCE.

By mere COINCIDENCE.

So to entertain the idea that GOD will TORTURE HUMANS FOR AN ETERNITY simply for being born “IN THE WRONG PLACE”, is pathetic.

The CREATOR will NEVER EVER punish you for not being a CHRISTIAN, or for not “ACCEPTING JESUS”.

Now go to bed, children.

Blacks can't govern themselves

Typical ILLITERATE, DUMB NIGERIAN COMMENT.

Blacks, the ORIGINAL AND FIRST-BORN race, have been GOVERNING THEMSELVES for 193,000 years before the pink-skinned albino race you call whites emerged from the Black race a mere 7,000 years ago.

The ENTIRE WORLD including Europe, Asia, and the Americas was BLACK for tens of thousands of years.

In fact as recently as between 711 and 1492, nearly 800 years, BLACK WEST AFRICANS ruled almost ALL of Europe.

They were called the MOORS.

They are statues of them all over Europe till today.

Without BLACK AFRICANS there would be NOTHING like the modern world today.

AFRICA is the CRADLE OF CIVILISATION.

12 Amazing African Inventions That Civilised The World



1 Speech

The first words by humans were spoken by Africans.

''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.''


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language




2 Writing


In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia."

Who were these original Egyptians?

The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]."

''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.''

(1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3)

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

To summarise:

"Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world."

- Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation.



3 Medicine

''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors..

Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the 'father of medicine'), Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine



4 Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_architecture



5 Mathematics

The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY.

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics

''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.

The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics



6 Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining



7 Iron Smelting

Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind.

Early iron smelting:

''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting


8 Religion

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract. He wrote about the black races of inner Africa whom he called ''Ethiopians'', dwelling south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Ethiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity."


9 Laws

Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."

Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62.



10 International Trade


In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed.

He wrote that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says:

"From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians (ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara) have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found.

..The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished. They still continue to be the objects of curiosity and admiration, and the pen of clear-sighted, cautious historians places them in the highest rank of knowledge and civilization."

11 Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy

Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy

''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy


12 Art

The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave.

Look,traditional religion doesn't interfere with reasoning systems that much because it's based mainly on laws and regulations it's logical ,full of do's n don'ts.

Unlike the foreign faith based religion which is ideological( alters thinking processes)

I agree with you on traditional religion, but in my opinion it might be inconvenient to go back to it,as it has been neglected and might have become archaic.

So the alternative is to do away with religion all together

Come on, man.

Nigeria is full of experts in religion and philosophy, including TRADITIONAL religion and philosophies.

All we need to do is lock them in a room and refuse them exit until they devise a broadly acceptable format for the practice of traditional religion in Nigeria.

They will then, in conjunction with traditional religious leaders, emerge with a new standardized form of practice that for instance replaces blood sacrifice with cooked food or flowers, as the Japanese and Indians did with Shintoism and Hinduism respectively.

They were all sacrificing animals and humans just like our ancestors did in the olden days!

But they got to a point where they saw the need for alteration in line with modern conventions.

It's only us that just condemned our whole religion as ''EVIL'' and ''demonic'' due to British brainwashing!!

And started worshipping whites and Arabs as our ''saviours''!

Look, even in the precolonial era, traditions and customs were not static. They were constantly examined to see if they met the aspirations of the people, and certain practices were ditched for new ones.

So there is nothing strange about updating African religion.

Checkout the shrines of Japan. I keep saying that were it not for the foreign imposition of christianity and Islam, THIS is how our shrines would be like today, and we would all be proud African traditional religionists.

Nigeria never ceases to amaze me. Its in this country that people will manufacture a crime that does not exist in the constitution, and call it treason.

How can flying a foreign flag of another country be an act of treason? I don't know why Northerners are flying the Russian flag, but I have not seen anywhere in the constitution of Nigeria that says to fly a Russian flag is a crime. It is shocking that something as serious as treason has been reduced to flying a foreign flag, in Nigeria.

You went and arrested a tailor making brisk business of sewing Russian flags, and called that a treasonable offence? Why won't other countries laugh at you?

You also have a Chief Of Defence Staff who embarrassed him self nationally by saying that flying a foreign flag in Nigeria is an act of treason

If it was treason to fly a foreign flag, all the Olympic athletes who flew foreign flags in France Would have been arrested

Use your brain.

In law, it’s all about INTENT.

If your INTENT is to hold a sports competition and display participating countries’ flags, it is not an issue.

But if you start sewing flags to sell to ANARCHISTS WHO WANT RUSSIA TO VIOLATE NIGERIAN SOVEREIGNTY, then you’re a criminal and traitor who will be apprehended and your face decorated with SLAPS.

I am intrigued by the new craze in the north, whereby people are waving Russian flags in protest.

Leading me to wonder:

Do we actually have something to benefit from DITCHING our pro-western stance and policies in favour of much closer ties with RUSSIA, and presumably, CHINA, in the years ahead?

If RUSSIA had its way, Nigerian politicians would be overthrown and replaced by the military.

Will that help the nation move forward?

They have religion but they aren't religious

Dude, the average Japanese man on his way to work in the morning, STOPS OVER AT A SHRINE to do a short prayer to the deity of the shrine. Japan has 100,000+ shrines.

As they are walking or driving to work, they stop at any nearest shrine for a couple minutes to pray or drop food or flowers as SACRIFICE. It doesn’t matter to them who the particular deity of the shrine is.

Shintoism is their national religion.

When a Japanese man buys a new car, he takes it to a SHRINE for the traditional Shinto priest to pour spiritual water over the car, for safe journeys in the vehicle!

Their shrines are well built and maintained, since Shintoism is the official national religion.

In fact JAPAN is what AFRICA would have been like in terms of religious practice, if the thieving Europeans and Arabs had not forced their fake religions on us.
