Cities like this were not built in a day

This takes decades of careful planning and investment.

No, we don't have the money to build a city worth 100bn dollars.

Nigeria doesn't have the money, we already use our entire budget to service the debt our chinese masters borrowed us.

Those cities were built by the Boers not blacks.

Those cities were built over several decades from proceeds of daimond, Gold and platinum found in South Africa.

common man?
They are not even fighting for the common man, it's always about tribal sentiment.
If not for tribal sentiment, who would want to support either of Obi, Tinubu or Atiku?

I am talking about u in general, fighting so hard to bring one change or d other to ur vicinity, community, town or village, u see how quickly people tûrñ against u?
Any leader that will stand for d people of Nîgerià to bring the complete dividends of democracy in education, roads, electricity, water, security, jobs etc etc will be going to a wàr that will definitely cóñsume him and his family.
Are these people wórth that stress?
The avèràge Nîgèrîan will choose allegiance to religîón and trîbè and complain about good or bàd góvèrnance, getting to the level d OP is posting requires all hands on deck.
These Nîgeriàns will ÑÈVÈR place thèîr hands on deck.

When we see a good leader, with vision, less corrupt and not tribalistic, we will collectively vote.

For now, there is nothing close to a good leader, so I do not know the leader that u feel wants to stand for the people that went to war.

maybe he did.
But I am sure it was a former Federal capital which the govt left for Abuja cos it became overcrowded

It will cost passion, zeal, discipline and determination on the part of the leaders and followers. If the leader is willing, the followers must be ready to bear the hardship, knowing that their money Is being put to good use. So many houses will pave way for development, many local contractors will learn to work, civil servants will do without bribe to a great extent, Nigerians will learn maintenance culture by force...

Yes they are. Their annual budget is 130 billion dollars for 70 million people.

Nigeria's is 50 billion dollars for 220 million people.

The oil and gas revenue might have been somewhat sufficient 20 years ago.

Today, it's a pittance cos of our population growth.

We need further diversification and better taxing systems to generate more revenue for development.

Nigeria can achieve these when our time of Independent years reach those countries own. We Nigerians don't believe in process but quickly compare those developed nations' Achievement with ours but not ready to wait and do what it takes to do than condemnation , not appriciating and value their.. Those things were not build in a year ok.
