Truth is that Ghanaians are very corrupt also. They just don't 'out' themselves like self-hating and disunited Nigerians.

The reality on the ground is far from the carefully packaged facade Ghana and her queen's English-obsessed leaders try to portray to the world.

Fact is that Ghanaian leaders have no qualms spinning reality to appear to be what they are not. The world swallows it same as CNN quickly bought the Lekki "massacre" propaganda.

Any intelligent and exposed person will know that Nigeria's challenges are unique and that it is unique solutions, peculiar to our needs, that will address those challenges. Not silly and if oranf comparisons.

Aconomist:
The only point of this thread is that Nigeria needs to do better.

I've been telling you, you have valid points, and you know what you're talking about. But because you lace your contents with insults and aggressive comments, your points no matter how beautifully stated and valid would be lost on your readers.

The Ghanaians are even laying one of the most sophisticated roads in West Africa. The road stretches for several kilometers.

The Lagos State Government has announced the diversion of the traffic on Adegbola Street, Ikeja from Sunday, April 11, 2021, for a period of 15 months.

The road closure is in readiness for the construction of the Ikeja Overpass for the Red Line Project of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit.

OneTemplate:


Lol. Why don't you just confess you're Ghanaian and spare us this rigmarole. Lagos is moving towards completing it's mass rail transport scheme. The blue line alone is 27km so what exactly do you want to impress us with in Ghana?

Below is latest development regarding the red line.

South Africa is only 58 million people compared to the Hausa population (future Awera Republic) which boasts 55 million and is growing rapidly. Everybody has enough people to form powerful countries. Break up Nigeria.

Rossikki:


No shortage of ''sophisticated roads'' in Nigeria, dude.

Abuja

Kingdemu:
Vulnerable smaller nations with each agitations of dominance within the breakaways will surface.

The opportunities of larger Nigeria market will be lost.

The Landlock part will be severely hit.

There will be astronomical agricultural investment in the north.

Solid mineral development will be given attention immediately in both North and South.

The impact of stoppage of monthly allocations to states, most especially in the North, will create huge unemployment with explosive social unrest.

Too much money in the hands of Niger Delta states may lead to corruption and more agitations within..

I think we better together as true Federal nation.

Aconomist:
When have you heard me complain about Abuja's road system? Abuja is great. The only problem with Abuja is a low skyline.

Rossikki:


The Abuja Centenary City under construction, will contain skyscrapers.

Ghana and EVERY OTHER DEVELOPING NATION ON EARTH (IE 80% OF COUNTRIES ON EARTH) have these problems you just listed to varying degrees. NOT JUST NIGERIA.

I know that you colonised Nigerians think everywhere outside Nigeria is like 'Dubai' and 'London'.

But the truth is that those places are just the minority in a world of developing nations, of which Nigeria is one.

Here's a suggestion: Next time you take a vacation, instead of running off to London or Dubai, or New York, or some other 20% part of the world where ''everything works'', travel to the real world of Peru, or Jamaica, or Honduras, or Sri Lanka, or Bhutan, or Ethiopia. Or Mozambique. Or Gambia. Or Lesotho. Or Senegal. Or Swaziland. Or Colombia. Or Tanzania. Or Ivory Coast.

The more you interact with the REAL WORLD, the less inferior you will feel, the less resentful of Nigeria you will be, and the more you'll realise there's nothing especially evil about your fatherland, and actually quite a lot to be proud of.

Aconomist:


The interchange allows a driver coming from the north to go either South, East or West, while the typical interchange only allows you to go south or West, putting strain on other parts of the road network.

Something like this will be useful in Marina District, Lagos.

Ghana is beneath you yet common 24hrs electricity you can't provide, common free quality healthcare u can't provide, jobs zero, security on highway zero, checkmate inflation zero, eradicate malaria zero, provide clean water zero, pay salaries zero, stop corruption zero. They are beneath you yet millions of your citizens including your leaders are all seeking for international passport.

Rossikki:


lol at the highlighted.

Ghana's leaders have perfected the art of packaging themselves so the whole world thinks they are angels.

Meanwhile all sorts of shady oil deals go on behind the scene.

There are at least 5 locations like this in Lekki. How do you expect drivers to navigate this nonsense without even providing traffic lights?

You miss road, we came up with the most sensible, functional and practical solution to what you are talking about, we don't have to throw N35 Billion inside shalanga to solve simple traffic and intersection proble.

So, instead of the sensible, simple and functional solution above, we should have inserted the ugly and pointless bridge below in that location?

Does it look practical and sensible to you?

Aconomist:
O.K those actually look quite good. Impressive. Google earth must have been using an outdated image.

The danger of ransacking the internet to copy and run to NL to ridicule and abuse your country with when in fact you don't know your own country, you don't know the area you rubbish your country with.

This is what people do when hope for and nourish is the worst about their own country.

Don't even blame google because you saw exactly what you looked for, the bad and the ugly instead of nice and good.


Learn a little about your country before running to NL to abusew your country.

Aconomist:
The flyovers allow for faster flow of traffic, which reduces congestion. But these images you show look good enough for the circumstances in Lagos.

Aconomist:
Is that a real image or a rendering?

Aconomist:
No it won't. Abuja's skyline is low because there is no demand for office space.

This?

Stop typing what you don't know.

Abuja's masterplan stipulated a limit of something like 10 storeys for the last 2 decades up till just recently.
