Before you use some African countries to condemn Nigeria bear in mind that some of these countries are one city states

N

.

Lol

All to tell f**ls that bala blu may not be doing so bad

we can tell all our governors of 36 states to abandon their state capitals and develop Lagos and Abuja alone so we will be able to achieve the most beautiful city status😁

Kano try but that Kodovuo own make sense.

Wetin be codevoir again? Orisirisi.

Basically, what they do is simple...show off some roads in the main city in Ivory Coast, and then come and compare with some bad parts in NIgeria.

The thing is, once you leave the main city of Ivory Coast, there are roads as bad as Nigeria and even worse self.

The truth is, we African countries, except North Africa, are on the same level.

It does not mean Nigeria should not do better, we should.

How you know the other is better than Nigerias own is LANE MARKINGS

Since STANDARDS don't exist in Nigeria, they build road with open gutter and no lane markings or worn out lane markings they never ever repaint, cause lane markings don't mean much in a Lawless land.

When I told someone that in Houston, you get a ticket for changing lanes, i.e, crossing the white lines, without signaling, he thought I was joking. Of course he did, cause Nigeria is a lawless nation.

In nations with laws, EVERY SINGLE MARKING ON THE ROAD MEANS SOMETHING

A DASHED LINE MEANS SOMETHING
A SOLID LINE MEANS SOMETHIG
A YELLOW LINE MEANS SOMETHING

and it is serious enough to get you in trouble with the police if you do something regarding the lines, that you shouldn't do.

I PRAY THOUGH, THAT ONE DAY, NIGERIA OR THE NATIONS THAT FORM FROM IT, HAVE LAW AND ORDER.

There are roads with lane markings in NIgeria. Very much so.

(NO, I am not excusing the government , so calm down.)

There are also roads in Ivory Coast that are just as bad as you describe here in NIgeria

Below is a documentary on a part of Ivory coast and its 'main road'

Ivory coast: Drivers take risk

Also, USA roads look good because in most parts they are TOLLED. If we brought tolls back here (they vanished in 2002, except in places like Lekki), most of us would call it anti-people. Yet, tolled roads=money for maintenance.

Even in Ivory coast, those nice highways we see...yes, they are TOLLED.

Nothing wrong with Tolls if there are alternatives.

I used to pay to use the Sam Houston Tollway, but the alternative "i-#" highway had I think 5 lanes on each side, making it 10 lanes, just that it added 10-15mins to the journey since the Sam houston is a ring highway with better interconnectivity across the city.

Here in Lagos, they turned road that was already there to Toll and called the residential area, "Oniru", an alternate route. That was such a wicked thing to do.

I have always said that the Lekki-Ikoyi Link bridge is a perfect example of a "righteous" toll road, cause it solves a problem, and it was newly constructed. So for example, if you were in lekki and wanted to go to ikoyi without paying toll, then you would use the FREE lekki-epe highway, but if you had money and your time was extremely valuable, then you'd pay to use the link bridge and cut your journey time by over 60%.

Anyways sha, I'm done ranting for this morning, till night.

Have a blessed day bro!

Have a blessed day, and keep ranting. Yeah, I don't agree with all you say, but yeah, we still have a shitty leadership and you rightly remind us we do.

And it has more than 5 cities in it merging together
