We don’t Want Concrete Jungles

Africans are nature Lovers and don’t like too many Sky scrapers around them it is unnatural


We want plenty of Nature around us with good infrastructure
U actually sound daft saying all these,the have these and also have parks nature in fact those Nigeria have any eco friendly environment?

Those Skyscrapers are not that healthy and too Confining


Africans don’t like living in towers

It is better to have 4 , 10 Storey buildings next to each other than to to have a 40 Storey building

When you are building for Africans

We love to move about with our feet on Solid Ground with lots of

Palm Trees and Fruit Trees everywhere

Auditor general stole 89Billion but he later brought 30billion according to EFCC, are you telling me one billion cannot one of those houses?. this is one person, we are not talking of the one TINUBU, FASHOLA, WIKE, AKUME, Remember NIA ikoyi tower , remember Andrew Former NNPC boss, ATIKU, David mike , Kalu, Saraki, Gaduje, El-Rufa etc stole.Oga we can build in one year.

Kobojunkie:
At this point in time, every Nigerian would have to be willing to pay at least 42% taxes on just their earnings alone to make even Chicago happen. And this is just to begin it all. If the economy does not improve over time, it will cost the people more and more with each new administration.

EKO ATLANTIC IS ON THE WAY TO BECOMING LIKE THAT.

Skyscrapers are unnatural and unhealthy

It was because of Space Limitations that they were built that way

Tel Aviv is not full of Sky Scrapers yet it is a modern City

You don’t just copy everything you see Europeans doing

richmond500:
no be me and u, I don deh prepare for my jakpa, i can't be in a country where u can't criticize a presidential candidate without having life threatening statement from their supporters.

Iamgrey5:
Cities like this were not built in a day

This takes decades of careful planning and investment.

traihit:


Okay....minus skycrappers, can any Nigerian city or state match up with European cities with the same structures of more than two centuries?

Or do European countries like Romania, Portugal, Spain have skyscrapers as the modern cities of Toronto etc?

Khyrvxjzy:


you that you dont have money to japa, you better learn how to criticize office

Okoroawusa:

Decades? These cities were developed centuries ago. Some were built on the back of imperialism, blundering of others resources, colonialism and neo-colonialism( World Bank, IMF and encouraging corrupt leaders from 3rd World countries to keep their loots in their banks).

Fineman2:
Lol, you are kidding right

We always thînk our próbIèm are d Ieadèrs, our major problem are d kind of cîtîzèns we have, leaders never fall from d bIue sky, have u tried fîghtîng for d rights and entitlements of d common man before genuinely before?
They will be d first to tûrñ against u.

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.

Kingabia1998:

Our core problem is our leader's they lead we follow
Check or compare any developing countries or developed ones leaders and come back to naija

GreyLaw:


After sounding like a sensible human being yet we know you voted Buhari twice and supported his disastrous leadership for 8 years. The joke is on you.

richmond500:
since all of them started from grassroot politics, they are all corrupt.

For now we never get anything close to a good leader, we only have vultures as option

JagabanBorgu:

Because ur attitude as a people always mutiIate rising Ieadèrs or u make them quit.
It's no coincidence that no Ieadèr is actually among d poIitical eIites, it's not, if u go relate with people at the grassroots fîghtîng for different things, u will see and understand why.

JagabanBorgu:

If Buhari comes for a 3rd, 4th and 5th term, I will vote him again, if Tinubu runs for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th term, I will vote him.
Someone thinking voting 0bi makes him señsîble.
LOL.
The jóké is actually on u.
I cañ't vote a Leàder who cañ't live with the people he Ied, that's basic.
