The problem here is that many Nigerians talk with emotions and exaggerate things unnecessarily. Why cant we just do our analysis and move. I have been reading light years ahead of Lagos. Miles ahead of Nigeria. Every city and country has it's own strength and weakness. It's a fact that Johannesburg is ahead of Lagos in terms of infrastructure. Yes we know that. But when you are talking about how dirty a city is or slums, the two cities, Lagos and Johannesburg are on the same level. The strength Lagos has over Johannesburg is economy power while Johannesburg is ahead in terms of infrastructure. And like what some other wise guys have been saying. What Lagos needs is organisation. Once this is done... things will look better. Many people here don't know that there is a statistics that Cape Town is the most beautiful city in Africa and Abuja is the second most beautiful city in Africa. But we Nigerians just like pulling down our own country without even having adequate knowledge about our own cities. Lastly, I think the Nigerian who went to post that pix of Lagos revealing dirts publicly has not done well at all. It doesn't impact anything good other than pulling down the country and making Nigeria to become a laughing stock before other African countries and the world. This is where the Whites are smarter than us. You will never see American slums and dirty places been littered on the media. They show you beautiful places so that people can like their country and attract investors. Nigerians should learn to understand patriotism. You can post such pics within Nigeria to arouse Nigerians and the Government to do something about it and not posting it outside to the whole world to see. This can even affect foreign investors from coming into the country to invest. We need to be wise. Thanks. |
Most of these countries we supply are like states in Nigeria. So supplying Chad is just like supplying another state in Nigeria. Nigeria is a big country and her neighbouring countries are more like states. Then it's our national grid and Discos that have issues. So to supply other countries what we generate is not a problem. |
Goke7:But we have thermal plants in Nigeria and I think larger bulk of our electricity comes from it and not from hydro |
fortifiedng:Which framework are they currently using? |
The approach I will use is to run Nigeria as a conglomerate of companies and I as the President will be as the CEO of all the companies. Companies are set up to make profit at a low cost of production, less waste and optimum efficiency. How do I achieve this. The country will be restructured such that we practice true federalism. We will break the country into three entities instead of two which are Federal Government, State Government and Independent Entity. State Government The State Government will be autonomous. Each state will generate it's own money and remit a little percentage to the Federal Government. Each state is to run it's own state as a company. A company has database of its staffs so must a state do and link to the central federal database. A company provides it's own light, security, water, infrastructure etc so must each state do by their Governors. A company pays its staff money so must every state pay their workers. No federal allocation. And today any company that is not doing well can merge with another company so must a crawling state do and merge with its neighbour. Some states in that North can merge to be productive. Federal Government Running the Federal Government as a company. The first is to reduce cost. And the way to go about it is to reduce the staffs just like a company would do. So the legislative will be turned to a unicamera stuff having just parliament and with 2 representatives for each state and 1 from Federal totalling 73. Then the Federal will make use of SSS (a.k.a DSS) as the Police operating to enforce security law in the entire country to complement State Police. So no Federal Police. The Nigerian Army will be as it is with more equipment. Then things that has to do with Federal like CBN, NNPC and others will be as it is but with change in structure for effective operation. Independent Entities Now the third entity will comprise of the Judiciary, INEC, EFCC, ICPC and any other agency that needs to checkmate the Federal and the State. NSCDC will be scrapped, VIO will be Scrapped and any force that is handling Database or record of something will be scrapped. Central Database will suffice. So it means the Central Database will cater for all records of individual and be monitored both by state and federal. And even you WAEC result, your offences etc will be captured in a database. The Federal Government will work on infrastructure that benefits the entire country like inter state roads, rails, airport, sea ports and any capital projects or system like Refinery, The National Electiricity Grid, Border Infrastructure and so on. In running a company, the CEO does not joke with investors. We will encourage Private Partnership Programme for infrastructure development to support health, education, Electricity etc. So we will run a company that discourages the Government themselves doing business. A company cannot provide all her needs you contract somethings out. You bring in private businesses to supply somethings to your company. So the Federal Government and the State Government would follow this policy. Private business should be well encouraged and Private Partnerships with Government. In conclusion, once this is done and achieved in like 2 years. Nigeria will blow and join the super powers. That's what Nigeria needs now. Running it like a company. We are too diversified and big to be run together as Federal and also we are blacks.... not having totally independent agencies does not work for us. I forgot to mention this, there will be a University... more like a professional University and a consortium where leadership and induction of people into any of the independent agencies will be handled and thoroughly supervised by the Judiciary. And also there will be an agency in the independent entities that researches the needs, strength, weakness and problems of a state. So as a Governor before you are eligible to campaign, you will need to first get the documents of that state from the agency and look at it and list out some of the problems you want to solve and even your own identified ones and how you want to solve them. Then from there once you finish your 4 years tenure, the document will be reviewed and your work will be crossed check to see if you have done what you said you would do and if you fail just one... you will be disqualified to go for second term and also be charged to court to be punished by 1 year jail term or more depending on the depth. Thanks. |
Deno is a JS/TS runtime which can be used to write server side applications. The runtime was released on 13th of May 2020. There are many frameworks released now for Deno. One of them is Oak which is like Koa of Node. This video tutorial explains how to use Oak framework of Deno to write APIs. Watch, practice, enjoy and subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z45Pw84NsCw |
Zeeknow3245:Nigerians keep making this mistake. How many times are people going to explain the currency issues of Ghana on this platform. Purchasing power is what matters. Ghana money is simply mechanical calibration. According to the exchange rate you gave, 1 cedi will buy 5 sachets of pure water. 66.81 naira will buy 6 sachets of pure water. You should know the difference now Thank you. |
scoundrel:But the traffic in Abuja is still better than Lagos and Abuja has wider roads. I think what Abuja needs is more flyovers to connect many roads together |
mrkings84:I am telling you. And many people dont know that this type of system we are running where we have states and states Governor pays. The development might be some how slow but we are developing gradually. There is no way a Governor will come and not do atleast one thing. Look at other countries in Africa, many of their interiors hardly see development. A country like Ghana has 16 regions now... But development in some regions are somehow very slow... they dont have Governors only regional ministers. The whole things come from Accra. Some region are just there. Nigeria is a country where almost everywhere (states) is developing. |
Believe it or not, Abuja roads are world class. This short video (from youtube) below proves it. From the roads leading to the city gate and all the way down to the airport are smooth and beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unDAig6zVKU |
ednut1:Well it's not actually mediocrity is trying to identify the problems and measure how far the country has gone in providing solutions to them... actually the country has not done well so far but gradually we will get it right. Most of the time, it's our attitude that causes some of these problems. When the available drainages are littered with dirts there is no way water would flow and there is bound to be flooding. Discipline too is one of our problems. |
flexerking:Not exactly. The message is, the Govt has failed and private investment/private partnership programme by the Govt is what can help Nigeria. There are low cost estate too and they have basic amenities. What we need is to have many low cost estates like that of Alapere Estate and others all littered around Lagos and some of these problema would be solved at once. If you observed very well real estate biz is now booming in Lagos... |
thenaijacoder:Ok... respect ooo |
thenaijacoder:Lol... Boss you don start dey code Deno ![]() |
Olumyco:

Kenplay:There is no need for insult here na... We Nigerians have problem ooo. The Pictures you even posted about Luanda cant stand the two pictures of Lagos I posted above. Luanda is a beautiful capital city but definitely not in the league of Lagos. Lagos has passed that level. See we talk fact here and not pulling any country down because of frustration or whatever. If you talk about other cities that are regional powers which we have even mentioned above then we will take you serious. But coming out to compare Lagos with Luanda does not follow.

ednut1:The issue of water from water cooperation you raised is a problem but you and I should know today what works in Nigeria and most especially Lagos. I believe we have solved this issue partly in the sense that real estate is now solving this problem in a small way. There are many estates today in lagos who do not have this problem. I understand that these places are big and are mostly occupied by upper and middle classes. But that is what is working today in Nigeria. The Water Cooperation from the Govt has failed and if we think outside the box... we will know that what works now is private investment. Places like VGC, Rivers Park etc wont have this issue. Even light problem they wont have. So to me it is the number of places like this we have in Lagos that matters and that is why today many people still gets amaze at how Lagos still leads in somethings and despite the challenges. You talked about transportation, BRT is there and it's still a good transportation system. The Yellow Buses will fade away gradually. BRT phased out Molue and gradually Danfo will phase out when small buses starts coming on board. The Railway will be completed and I think the Govt said 2022 or 2023 or so... Atleast we have a functioning Railway system going from Lagos to Ibadan which is a good thing for a mega city like Lagos. So it's a gradual process. Most of what we hear about other countries are not exactly what is on ground. Do you know that Nairobi and Johannesburg are facing light issue... though they have a good electricity but now they are having some challenges. I know they will soon find a fix...but this is to let you know that things are not just the way it is too with some other countries we think everything is green and rosy. Every country and city have their own challenges. And note that we are comparing within Africa and we cant still leave out Lagos no matter how we paint it. Other countries appreciate Lagos but we Nigerians have problem with pulling down our own country. But I am not saying we should not say the truth but let's be real with statistics and compare fairly with data and facts and not just coming to abuse or insult. That's why all the 16 facts are indisputable and no one has refuted any till now. Thanks. |
illicit:Ok |
My Contribution Sex is like money. There is nothing wrong with any of them. It is the way we use each of them that tells whether one is right or wrong. If I use the money that does not belong to me or have no right over... then it means I am a thief. Same with sex, if I have it with someone who does not belong to me ( by marriage) then I am a thief also. This means when you have sex with someone who not your spouse then you have sinned. Sex is meant to be enjoyed by two people who are legally married and not otherwise. Any sex which is not marriage binding is wrong. Whether is with animal or siblings or whatever... as long as marriage is not binding... it is a sin. And marriage has rules... someone saying he or she is married to animal or another same sex or whatever is wrong and does not define marriage. Marriage is a legal union between two opposite sex who are humans that does not have a marriage union existing already. Also, dating or any relationship does not automatically mean marriage. Intending husband and intending wife are still yet to be married and they must not have sex. Marriage is marriage and it has rules. Once you know this is the person you will marry... proceed to do the necessary things... if it is engagement or white wedding or whatever... or even family consent with witnesses and rites... do it and make sure you fulfil all righteousness and then you have married legally and then do whatever with your spouse. Having sex in dating or courtship is a sin. Sex is only permissible in marriage. Once we understand marriage... the the issue of sex wouldn't be a problem. |
shadeyinka:See this thing needs understanding. Love is an emotion. But as humans because of the presence of the Will faculty in the soul you can decide to go with your emotion or not. However the result of the emotion faculty cant be brought to fore without the Will faculty acting on it. Therefore when you love someone it means you have decided to love the person either based on what your emotion gives you or otherwise. So that is it Example of emotions are Love, joy, peace, fear, sadness, anger etc. They are all product of what your mind processes. If I abuse you in English language the reason why you get angry is because your mind understood English and processed the statement and then an imagination is formed which is passed to the emotion faculty and the emotion liberates Anger instantly but waiting for your decision whether to go with it or shun it. So if you React negatively by abusing me back or fighting me then it means you took a decision to go with your anger emotion but if you refuse to abuse or fight me and just walk away or not react then it means you shun the emotion produced. So in all everything is decision based. Love is an emotion but cant be used on anyone without decision. So Love in full is Emotion, Decision and Commitment. Thanks |
Kweensavvy:Man is a tripartite being. We have the Spirit, Soul and Body. In the Soul we have Mind (Intellect), Emotion (Feelings) and Will (Decision) So when you see someone and you interact with the person your sense organ transfers what you see, observe and so on to the brain and then the mind is engaged to process the information. When the information is processed, emotion will be liberated. The kind of emotion liberated is a function of the result of what your mind(intellect) has processed. Since it has to do with look, admiration and so on... Love would be liberated. So we can just say the end result of the mind processing and the emotion liberation is LOVE. So the last faculty in the Soul is the Will where decisions are made. So you are at will/volition to choose whether to follow your emotional result which is Love or shun it. So because you choose to follow your emotion which is Love that is why you were able to love the person. Everything we do as humans work this way. It's like a chain production factory. Mind receives the input.... processes it and give it to Emotion... emotion gives the output and then the Will decides what to do with it. That's why I can curse someone now and the person can decide not to be angry because he chose not to follow the anger emotion liberated when his mind processed the content of the curse. So when people says Love is decision they are actually telling you the end result of the whole process. Meaning you decided to love. because it's possible to see someone and not love the person emotionally but you just decided to abandon the emotion and just love the person. But most times it is the emotion result that we go for. Emotions are very powerful. Its also a commitment because you will have to nurse it. because it would have to grow. This is even where those that did not follow their emotion needs work. You will have to work out the commitment so that the love can grow. Thanks |
illicit:Lol |
katagumBauchi:Danfo is still the basic transportation system in Lagos. It can be phased out later in the future and that's even what will happen with little changes that is going on now. However, there is no way you will shut down the transportation system of a city and the masses will not have problem. So get this right that transportation is key to the running of a city. |
blackboy:Everywhere cant be developed at once. There is no homogenous developed city anywhere in the world. There are bound to be differences. Some places will be developed occupied by upper class and middle upper class people while some other places will be a low brow areas occupied by the middle lower income earners. The most important thing is for developed places to be higher than the developing ones. You cant find people fetching water and carrying on their head in places like Banana Island, VGC, VI and co. The problem we Nigerians have is that we believe places abroad are entirely developed. The only difference their own is making is that they have more developed places than underdeveloped/developing places. Atleast the pple in Lagos Island still have access to water to fetch right In some places abroad even in US, there are homeless people who dont even have access to water. The media is powerful and they make you believe everything over there is entirely developed. There are classes. Lagos have many estates now and those estates are getting it right gradually in terms of basic amenities. Understanding is what we need. |
manitoba:Still doesn't change these facts. Every country/city has it's own problem. With these problems we are still able to achieve all these facts. That says alot. By the time we get the issue of light fixed... things will really improve. |
ednut1:There are slums in most developed cities of the world. There are slums in New York, Johannesburg, Nairobi and co and even larger than Makoko in Lagos. Going by what you said... Mokoko Slum has factories and they contribute immensely to the country's GDP. |
Koboko444:Haaaa!!! I no offend you na... chill guy. How far? Don't worry things go better. These are facts and they stand. It's not only Nigeria that is going through this hard time. We will overcome soon. Just be closer to God. |
ChengHun:I don't agree with the Bank solutions. Banks depend on Fintech companies for that. Fintech companies like Interswitch, Softcom, TeamApt, Paystack, Flutterwave etc employ developers from within the country and they are blacks. When it comes to programming... we still do it ourselves. It is construction that we are yet to get 100% black dominance. And gradually we will get there. Oshodi Interchange was built by 100% black company and those that did it were black Nigerians. |
Abfinest007:Lol... facts don't lie anyways. Nice one |
