Actually you are wrong, you empty-headed school dropout.

LOADS of countries outside Africa are FAR LESS DEVELOPED than Nigeria.

I know for a school dropout dunce like you, “outside Africa” means UK, USA, Canada, etc, forgetting that they are in the minority in a world in which 80% of countries are DEVELOPING NATIONS like Nigeria.

You could not survive a week in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Haiti, Cambodia, Guatemala, Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Timor-Leste, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Honduras, Venezuela, Iraq or Pakistan, to name a few countries outside Africa.

Empty-headed cretin.
Lol

All those countries other than the ones in war are better than Nigeria.

Do your fking research you have the guts to even mention Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan 😂😂

Those countries will annihilate Nigeria in a war in matter of weeks.

Seems you think Mongolia is a small country 😂😂

Descendants of Ghengis Khan 😂

You people,have started again with your bigotry in 2025?

People are making big waves and doing big things in Nigeria even without connections,I'm a testament. you'd be better off channeling your energy into learning a skill or business that will improve your life than being an online troll complaining about the country.

These things a very basic infrastructure. That's a private building. Some of you people should remain in your huts.

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THOSE COUNTRIES, SO SHUT YOUR ROTTEN LIPS.

Go and cure your disgusting inferiority complex, or PACK YOUR DIRTY BAGS and go and live in those places, since in your school dropout head, they are “better than Nigeria”.

Nasty IPOB outcast.

I’ve no idea what you IPOB outcasts are doing on Nairaland.

Worthless, repulsive, disgusting things.

It still doesn't vilify the fact your mother should have aborted you, better still your father should have pulled out before ejaculating nonsense into your mother.... It would have saved the world and nairaland, the troubles of a demented dogfart 😃

If we do, all of you would still open mouth like rabid dogs that Tinubu is wasting Nigeria money.

Wait till Nigeria has the balance, all these and more would be happening but for now, that’s not our priority.

You might need to leave wherever cave you are to see such in Nigeria.
Btw, if you can't find any, you that is in a country not dead can come install one in your village
Honestly most Nigerians are shameless people. I have never seen in my life where citizens will be gas lighting their country irrespective of the problems.

While south Africa is at Least 100 years ahead.

Compare Nigeria with other African countries.... There's no country outside Africa Nigeria can be compared with
I wonder if some of you people are educated at all or you are just beclouded by the thoughts of trolling your country.
Do you mean countries like: Bangladesh, Lebanon, Honduras, Guatemala etc are better than Nigeria. If so please move to Bangladesh or Sri Lanka! Bunch of delusional illiterates that has never stepped out of Nigeria. It is even possible that you have never heard about those countries!
Most we have tower lights?

Johannesburg residents were encouraged to step outside at midnight on Tuesday and watch the Hillbrow Tower come alive with a breathtaking light display featuring the words “Happy New Year”.

In a statement, Telkom (state telecoms company) said it will illuminate the iconic Hillbrow Tower on New Year's Eve and encouraged residents to step outside and witness the display from their vantage point.

“As Telkom lights up the Hillbrow Tower, we would like to remind South Africans that 'possible' is in the moments we share, the dreams we pursue, and the connections we build. Join us in celebrating the dawn of 2025 and a future full of opportunities,” said Gugu Mthembu, chief marketing officer at Telkom.

Telkom said at the heart of this moment is their belief that “Possible Begins Here” — a commitment to innovation, connectivity, and uniting South Africans through shared experiences.

“The event promises to bring the city together as we usher in a fresh chapter of hope and possibility,” reads the statement,

Standing 269 metres tall, the Hillbrow Tower has been a defining feature of Johannesburg’s skyline since 1971.

Once a symbol of cutting-edge telecommunications, today it remains a landmark of progress and resilience in a city that never stops growing.


Renamed after South Africa’s democratic transition, the Hillbrow Tower has witnessed decades of change and continues to stand as a beacon of connectivity and unity.

“At midnight , the Hillbrow Tower will come alive with a breathtaking light display featuring the words 'Happy New Year' — a message of celebration, hope, and new beginnings.

“This symbolic moment invites every Johannesburg resident to look to the sky and embrace the endless possibilities of 2025”, said Mthembu.
I thought Muslims have their own calendar year, I was surprised to see some Arabs celebrating Xmas with fireworks and gun shootings, everyone is happy towards the end of the year.


Forget all those Islamic calendars nonsense some fanatics still believe in
