Nigeria is certainly lagging behind and should be doing a lot better in.many areas.

But some of the countries people are quick to compare Nigeria with have more than 300-year headstart over Nigeria.

Comparison is good, but we also have to be realistic.

I hate this phrase,oya check our mates Malaysia and Dubai make we no de encourage rubbish for this country

NIGERIA is backward at the age of 63 no foundation of anything meaningful,if it continues like this do u think we can develop even in the next 1000years

Development has to do with WILL and not number of years



Today, the pace of change is so fast, and the first movers ie Western countries and now some Asian countries are so far ahead, I don't know how African countries will catch up. The world system, including globalisation, is also not in our favour.

Egypt is struggling badly. South Africa has not progressed much economically. Ghana is on its knees. Most African countries are basket cases.

These days, the more I look at the world in my private moments, the more I fear we may never catch up with the most successful/developed countries in the world.

Our systems and our minset as a people are far removed from what they need to be for us to develop, let alone catch up.

Our population is growing too fast, faster than our economy, which means the country can't even maintain the status quo in terms of standard of living, let alone improving it. Too many of our people are not being educated. Those who think they're educated did not receive the right education.

We have simply not set ourselves up to compete.

Makes me sweat when I think about all these things, as I desperately want the best for the tens of millions of struggling people who needs and deserves better.

Can you show me the discussion we had where I told u that buhari was my hero because of naira policy?

But Tinubu told Nigerians in 2015 that only buhari had the ability to take nigeria where it ought to be.

Are you saying buhari failed in that responsibility and that Tinubu lied to Nigerians?

hopexter:


Can you attach a link where Tinubu said so too? Oga go rest, election don finish or get a visa and move out of Nigeria

Which seaport and rail did Tinubu build? In what capacity did he build those things?

How does the analogy of Moses fit into the discussion?

Let me tell a story about the Efiks (Calabar) and the ibibios (Akwa Ibom)
It happened that when the Europeans lander, the resided in Old calabar and administered from there. Good school like Hope Waddel sec sch was built ( Azikiwe went there). But there was also informal education by proxy, for those that served the Europeans.
The Efiks, who were indigenous, kings, princes and princesses refused to work for the Europeans. They saw it as being subservient.
They would rather have the Ibibio kids go to do those work.
That proximity turned out to be blessing in disguise. The Europeans though them the Western way of life. They got better education and some were even sent abroad on scholarships.
Today. the ibibios are standing firm and waxing strong.
When you live where the resources are available, you are more likely to thrive than those who don’t have access to such for whatever reasons.

It can be used as a primary reason.
It was u that said lagos shud show advancement in things.

And skyscrapers are obviously structurally advanced buildings.

lexy2014:


Where and when did I tell you that Lagos show anything? Can you show me where we had that discussion?

Skyscrapers aren't used primarily for beautifying anywhere. They are built primarily to solve accomodation problems due to scarcity of land.

'So it should be commissioning landmark achievements other states will emulate,not driving us back with 18th century projects.

Do you need that to answer the following? Can't you at least answer number 1 if 2 and 3 are too difficult for you?

1. Can you show me the discussion we had where I told u that buhari was my hero because of naira policy?

2. But Tinubu told Nigerians in 2015 that only buhari had the ability to take nigeria where it ought to be.

3. Are you saying buhari failed in that responsibility and that Tinubu lied to Nigerians?
