These attacks on Nigeria creates a false impression of Africa. Nigeria has the worst this in Africa, Nigeria has the worst that in Africa - sure there's an element of inferiority complex playing out in which peoples form other African Nations desperately want to knock Nigeria down (although i personally don't understand the attitude. I like that Egypt, Algeria and South Africa are said to be developed places. I don't like south Africa killing Nigerians but i want them to progress. I love that Ethiopia is rising and so on) also i understand that there's an element in this of Nigerian politics at play here. However, i feel it may be counter productive in the long run painting these false impressions of Africa. For instance, during the Ebola outbreak, many of my English friends thought that Nigeria was going to be the hardest hit because of the recent impression of Nigeria as being the very wort place in Africa. When people from Abroad have visited Nigeria after traveling in Africa they are always amazed by why Nigeria has the reputation it has. They in fact then fail to see the bad things which they aught to see and criticize because their formative impression was so bad in the first place.

It's worth knowing that in many cases Western Media that report on Nigeria have no first hand experience of Nigeria and only get their info from none-Nigerian African colleagues. This unacceptable and lazy journalistic trend include from the BBC .

OK...we must not be best in every thing!

If the aviation sector which the government boasts of as one of the areas that it has impacted much on through the Transformation Agenda could be this rubbish, I doubt if the government really did anything.
The roof of the MMIA, Lagos leaks. The roof of the one in Yola was blown off by wind. The one in Enugu suffers flooding.

on the other thread, a dude was attempting to brand a 1914 repainted train as transformation simply on the grounds that the train, before GEJ's tenure, were not moving, but now they move.

The only reason GEJ's administration via Oduah is renovating airports is just so more cash can make it's way out.
for instance, project worth 250 Million naira, A company proposes say 500 million naira, Oduah ups it to about 1.5 Billion naira
GEJ approves 5Billion naira, each takes his/her share

This is why we will never move forward with the mindset our leaders are working with.

Why do we hold on SOLELY to the physical aspects of development, which are simply facilitators to the real thing- enhanced HUMAN activities in & around those infrastructures

The transformation has led to international flights in Enugu & Kano among other enhancements to the lives of people in those cities where the transformed airports are- is this true or not

Please note that I have not said there is no need to also ensure proper renovation of the airports.
