No corruption is not the reason why we don't have cities like these in Nigeria...

It's our mindset and the way we think...

The countries that harbor this cities whose image u displayed here are corrupt if not more corrupt than Nigeria

From the poor to the rich, our way of thinking is very very bad

I am telling you
The way some people here in Nigeria think ehnnn.... I wonder if there will be any growth at all in terms of infrastructure and development

If only you people were farming, in the farms, doing agriculture.

Well said!!!!!

I dont know. Maybe we don't have some creative architects around who can give us beautiful designs in our cities.

I think our problem is not really corruption because we have it everywhere but our major problem is greediness and lack of human feeling ... so far our family can afford every luxury any other people can die mentality

What are you saying?
Please just stop it. Nigeria is fantastically corrupt. Sorry, no apology if you are expecting one. Corruption permeates every damn sector in Nigeria due to sheer wickedness and greed.

It's not corruption but the north that has kept Nigeria backwards.

This is going to be Biafra land.. Nigeria can and will never be like this. Na cow go scatter the projects or make them use am a grazing routes e no go beta for who carry Mohammed teachings come west Africa

Nigerians are one of the most educated blacks but by far the most sentimental and dumbest. Why would any sane person with a functional brain after reading the history of Nigeria, how it was formed, why it was formed, still believe that Nigeria was created to work for those in it? Out diversity was a deliberate attempt to cause disunity so that we can be exploited for a very long time. Nigeria was never meant to work for us but to keep us down in chains. Anyone who things Nigeria can become what has been shown in the picture above is either crazy or doesn't have the ability to think properly.

with all due respect please keep quiet, mindset isn’t the factor affecting Nigeria, corruption is the major reason we are not growing as a country, have you ask yourself how is the money budgeted for infrastructural development and power projects is being spent? Stop talking nonsense no leaders on earth is corrupt than Nigeria leaders

How do you mean at the bold? Majority of our thinking is corruption i.e. what's in it for me (WIIFM) and family only. We forget that the good for all is good for self.

corruption and the lawlessness of Nigerians..

Corruption causes lawlessness. Because if our uniform men and women are not corrupt, they will do everything possible and combat lawlessness by any means

Lack of education in the north and entire country at large can't be ignore.
They appear to be the most populated region in the country with the least education. To some extent the religions crisis in the north will be non existent if 80% of its occupants are educated. It would have a ripple effect on political stability, elections and peace in the country.

michlins:
Corruption isn't the reason Nigeria is poor and underdeveloped.

Our leaders don't have leadership capacity. No country is as corrupt as the United Kingdom or USA plus Switzerland in that order

Oga stop smoking Mpurimiri.. USA and UK are corrupt yet your leaders carries looted funds to the aforementioned countries, Your president even run to the UK for common malaria even Tinubu a presidential hopeful also runs out to treat common ailment over there. To slap you just de hungry me

This looks like HongKong. Naija's own is still loading.

Corruption na bastard. Sometimes or most times I blame myself for been a Nigerian

It's not corruption. It had more to do with illiteratacy and primitive accumulation mindset.

I agree with u to some extent depending on the level of that country bt Nigeria isn’t just corrupt we are fantastically corrupt.

We corrupt to the detriment and expense of good governance and service. That is not what these other smwhat countries are doing or did.

Nigeria, and indeed most of Africa, look poor not because of corruption but because we run resource dependent countries.

At the end, the price of whatever we sell is never at a level that can sustain us, so we are always broke , and taking loans

We also don't have high enough GDP as a result too...

Meanwhile countries that look like that in your picture sell industrial consumer and industrial heavy goods. Crucially, they set the price of what they sell, unlike oil whose price is never at a level that favors us. So, they earn lots of income.

That's why China's GDP rose from being lower than Sierra Leone in 1973 to being many times that of Sierra Leone now. And why South Korea went from being below Senegal in 1960 to being above them now . They became economies based on sale of industrial consumer goods, and goods for industries (as an example, it was a South Korean company that built Kaduna Refinery in the 1970's. Meanwhile, South Korea has no oil)

The only oil producers that can afford the high life are countries like Qatar that produce just as much as we do, but have less than 3 million people, or the UAE that has 15 million people.

Corruption affects those countries too...but they fight it because it affects their revenue badly as taxes form a major part of our revenue. Not like Nigeria, where taxes form a minor part of our revenue.

so what point are you making?

That our way of thinking stole the money meant for development, not corruption?

God1000:
corruption is largely responsible for our underdevelopment bro

Our mindset is, not corruption.

Every country has law governing them, is corruption acceptable?
Are you corrupt more than Chinese or Americans?

That was the only song Buhari sang to Nigerians on his way to the presidency. He kept singing corruption to their ears. The word corruption is an English word meaning the white man is also corrupt. But the corrupt white man is more foresighted and competent in administration than Nigerian ‘leaders’. That was why Jonathan told you that stealing is not corruption. Because corruption encapsulates other vices like bigotry, nepotism, administrative incompetence, political inequality etc…but a thief is just a plain shameless thief. When a government official dips his/her hands into the coffers of the peoples commonwealth and uses it for their own personal gain that is THEFT.

Our problem is f00lishness, laziness and mindset not corruption.

Religion is Nigeria's major problem.

The absence of corruption (something which is impossible) alone will not achieve cities like that. Achieving cities like that requires innovation, creativity and a focus on economic growth and global trade backed by intelligent and richly sophisticated entrepreneurship and political will.
